This is not the machine name on the network I'm talking about.

I mean, can I spoof my android device (I have a Thrive and Vibrant, but I would imagine it's mainly OS Version specific, not device) to register on a wireless network as something else, like an iPad.

This is the scenario, if it helps explain what I'm looking for.

My work's new wireless network setup looks at the device type that is connecting to it. If it's an iPhone or iPad (any versions) or PC, the wifi allows you to connect. If it's anything else (blackberry, android), it's rejected.

So not sure if there is a way to fake out the wireless packet being sent from my android device to make the wifi router think I'm an iPad, Mac, or PC.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chui101:
Usually this is done by looking up the MAC address in the OUI database and if it's a MAC address assigned to Apple, well, there you go. Just spoof your MAC address and you should be able to connect. It's pretty easy if you know how to get into a shell.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1385577

http://standards.ieee.org/cgi-bin/ouisearch look up Apple there. The results show the first three bytes of the mac address. Just make up the next three bytes yourself. Or, borrow a friend's iPhone's mac address and bump him off the network ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jcott28:
Thanks, I'll give this a try! I had no idea it could actually be determined from a MAC address. I'll just change my MAC to mimic my iPhone

I just noticed this product is newly added on Case mate website. http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Phantom-Cases.asp It looks like the otterbox cases with multi-layers. Wanna see it in white too.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cronosmachine:
I purchased Case-Mate Phantom case.

However like review from olis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk3SpvJ54ko) the buttons doesn't work properly and it hard to press.

But I managed to fix it, here the video:

Anyone replaced the nib on the S-Pen with a different one (e.g., felt)?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whitepc:
I am getting just a little upset with all manufacures out there. Earlier on in the cell phone world, the newer ment bigger bang for your buck, to include updates. We are now subject to baked in roms as I do see the trend.....look at Samsung's s2 for starters(girlfriend has one). I loved my original EVO. Hardware was top notch but for the CPU. I saw the duel core as an upgrade but on this phone, some things work soso. Word to the wise, coming from a real general customer. Shape up or I will take what I got and move back to a simple texting phone on a CHEAPER carrier.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
It's more about smartphones reaching a plateau.. There isn't but so much you can do.

You can keep adding cores, but for what? The technology for the cpu, gpu and everything else is at a really good point right now so upgrades aren't gonna be as big. It's the same thing when it comes to software upgrades.

Jelly Bean is a small upgrade when compared to some previous versions of android. Maybe you're waiting for a phone to rub your back and clean your house.. That isn't coming until Android 37.1 so you'll be waiting a while
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I think the OP is upset because some things that work great on an older phone seem to have regressed with this phone (if I'm interpreting correctly).

I do understand in a way - some things that have gone backwards have no good reason to do so (things like the WiFi issue and the fact that the signal of this phone is not as strong as the original EVO, plus the volume is lower).

However, overall, this phone is absolutely awesome. Those little things will be fixed OP, don't fret.

When we were paying $119.99 for a plan that had 200 minutes of local calling only, but we had to stay on our own network, in our own city and surrounding areas, we were happy to have snake upgraded to snake 2! We could barely use our phone, but that's how we liked it!

Lmao (nice touch with the Dana Carvey reference)

Snake was amazing though...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chessmyantidrug:
I'm not sure what kind of leaps and bounds you're expecting cell phone manufacturers to make these days, but phones are still improving quite a bit. You must be talking about Apple releasing the same device every year with one or two incremental upgrades.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whitepc:
Glad I got some attention. I know that everything is moving forward, but do you think the general population (nonrooters) should have a phone that works as prescribed? Or are we really bata testing the public. Come on.....we are relying on Toyota to not fix the throttle problem again. I want only a cell phone to work as the specks say, or dang close to it in past Experience.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chessmyantidrug:
Outside of LTE, how does this phone not work as advertised?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whitepc:
Need to get it right dude...... I want my stuff to post to FB when I want it too and make cell calls cleanly. I have some suspicion that sprint is making the LTE community guinea pigs. Weather it is voice or data I would like my phone to work right I'm sorry just saying.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whitepc:
I agree. I just want the support for 2 grilling years.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whitepc:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whitepc:
Works fine Sept a hiccup on sending messages texting or on data fb. All I am driving at is I see a trend to bake and leave. If the next is upgrade is better(dev dependant) why do the general public (nonrooters) have to suffer.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
The phone (and service) is tons better (and cheaper) than previous generations. I remember first putting android on my att tilt (kaiser), and playing around with what can be done outside of stock going back years. More so than just loading a rom. You've been here since 09, with 19 posts and no thanks. Not one of you? A complainer you mean? Maybe you're not one of us...

You say;

A co-worker who also has the LTE, and his isn't rooted. He has no problems with sms or posting to fb. In fact he has no issues with the phone at all. He loves it, and goes on and on about how much better it is than his old phones (he went from the og to the epic). The lte also has an almost perfect rating on amazon. Even consumer reports has no problem recommending this phone, along with virtually every single review that has been done on the phone. I think outside of some people here on xda (and maybe a few other tech or android specific forums) nitpicking about tiny issues that they and maybe a few other people experience, the "general population" is quite happy with their phone.

edit - oh yeah, my co-worker's also never had any issues with wifi, voicemail, or sms. As a stock user who doesn't know the first thing about rooting, he doesn't feel that the phone underperforms, or doesn't deliver on it's promises at all.

edit edit - and dude, seriously? 8 posts in a row?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chessmyantidrug:
This has to be a joke topic. You're blaming HTC and Sprint for Facebook not working on your phone? I have been upset with the Facebook app from time to time, but not to the point where I would create a thread about it. If you truly hate this phone and other phones so much, take yourself off the grid.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whitepc:
We are programmed to glitches... Even the ichit has then... But these need to be addressed as the general public will get sick of it soon. Sorry I could not use $3.00 words here........
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whitepc:
Muddled...the topic is high price phone upgrade for what. Over my ....howis it put OG EVO. Not much. If SUPPORT for the phone is good, I have no problem. Have you seen the support of other manufacures? Samsung for instance?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whitepc:
I am 47 and can still tell when the marker is shifting to cheap. Be it hardware or software. What is your point on the subject - my typos and other irrelevant crap.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chessmyantidrug:
Your inability to form a coherent thought cripples your argument. Perhaps you should not be allowed to own a phone, much less use one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
If you are 47 i would expect valid points laid out in a cohesive matter. Your posts are all over the place, have no valid points and make absolutely no sense.

8 posts in a row is kind of ridiculous, man.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whitepc:

Also a cheaper carrier? Other than boost and metropcs (Which both have crap coverage) good luck finding a cheaper carrier than Sprint.

[HTC One X] dmobbjr:
I have a Samsung Captive right now and I am considering upgrading to a One X. I am very worried, though, about not having a removable battery as I do alot of flashing/overclocking and often freeze my phone. The only way I can restart is to take out the battery. I am curious to see whether this is a big issue for people, espesially people who like to overclock.

Also samsung has a program called odin that lets me restore my phone to stock firmware if I brick it. Is there a similar program for htc phones?
[HTC One X] Deleted member 2496007:
No need to worry. If you lock it up HTC have built in a hard reset function. Just hold the power button down. After about 5 seconds the key backlights flash then the phone is restarted. Got me out of a few lock ups it has.
[HTC One X] dmobbjr:
How about an app to flash it back in case of serious emergency such as a boot loop?
[HTC One X] sashank:
HTC has RUUs for every firmware release for their phones. These are exe files that only work on Windows (damn). You just have to connect your phone via USB, and run the file as administrator. It'll restore the phone to stock firmware and locked bootloader (or you may have to lock the bootloader manually in fastboot before running it, don't know).
[HTC One X] dmobbjr:
Thanks for all the info. I will still most likely get a galaxy s3 but this has definitely made the decision a little more even.

Big thanx in advance!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jonkerv:
Pedro, one question, now we have the Stock and the Vivo firmware. So we can flash it safely? I mean, can i flash the stock one over the one from Vivo and vice versa?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
This one is newer and much better than Vivo, but you can move from vivo to retail to check it out.

I think we'll not have a Gnex port. Gnex lovers should buy Gnex, not Razr.

You have nice options anyway, like MIUI, CM9...

And who is using the first OTA update, its safe to do this flash?

Thanks man and nice post!

Of course, you can flash it. Just charge your Razr 100% and make a factory reset prior updating.

Cheers

will this work with Rogers RAZR phones in Canada?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Absolutely. You can flash over any system you have now. If you're in GB 2.3.x you'll not be able to downgrade, but you'll be able to flash it again if you have any problem later! :good:

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jdz7t8:
Thanks. So does that mean when the official Rogers ICS upgrade comes I will be able to flash to that? Hopefully somebody on XDA will have it. Anyway I'm going to flash now. Only one problem. I have Final Fantasy III and I have gotten pretty far in it. Can I somehow transfer the save file to ICS? Also can I get root on this version of Ice Cream Sandwich? Also can I backup all my current apps with Titanium Backup and use Titanium Backup to reinstall them on ICS?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ricardofago:
Just got my RAZR back from Motorola's repair service today. They told me my battery was replaced... Not a single shutdown up to now. I flashed this fastboot earlier and I must say... It's way better than the first LATAM OTA. Not many visible differences, but pretty stable. Battery lifetime also seems a lot better, but I'm not sure if it's due to new hardware or new system :victory:.

Oh, this fastboot doesn't erase personal data, but a few apps stopped working after flashing, like PowerAMP and Titanium Backup. Personal settings and most of user apps kept running fine, in the other hand, and root works easily.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stangri:
I was on the first LATAM ICS OTA and I flashed this file without the factory reset and I've retained everything besides root. Now that I've rerooted everything is like it used to be, just with the newer system.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Hi!

There's an OTA file for rogers actually and you can update with that.

This is the Rogers OTA thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1735746

And yes, you can get root with our script and recover your apps later. I preffer mybackup pro, I think its easier to recover my data. (calls, sms, calendar, apps, music...). Some of the apps (rarely) will not work on ICS, like some gameloft games.

Cheers

Well, I think is some kinda placebo effect this system is exactly the same as the OTA but installed another way. Anyway. You got a new system and a new device, and this is nice!

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ricardofago:
Yeah, but I was using the older OTA (P023), and flashed this fastboot that's supposed to be a newer build (P024)... I'm not sure about differences and the new battery surely helps a lot, but it really feels smoother and I'm not getting signal drops anymore. Nevermind, I'm really glad, we got the fastboot files way earlier than I thought it would be... Feels like freedom to me :highfive:.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jdz7t8:
Nevermind
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Oh! I see. well, there's a huge difference between the first and second build of ICS actually. They main improvement I think is the new kernel. Now you have a really nice system/hardware combination.

Cheers

This have nothing to do with root. I think you've a connection problem. try changing usb port

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jdz7t8:
Question, I flashed with RSD Lite to Final Retail.BR Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4. So now i want to flash to this Rogers rom, can I just flash it with RSD Lite again over the Final Retail.BR Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
We dont have rogers fastboot so you cant flash it with rsd lite

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jdz7t8:
The problem is that other method described is very technical. Patching files etc. I dunno how to do that. And the Final Retail.BR Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 doesn't allow me to surf the internet on 3g, it only lets me surf on WIFI.When I try to surf on 3G it says no network connection.

These are the instructions:

Copy the OTA file from OP to the sdcard-ext [so I guess I just put this on my SD cardso "/SD card/"]

Reboot in Fastboot [not sure how to do this]

Flash the base system image [not sure how to do this]

Flash the patched boot file [not sure how to do this]

[OPTIONAL] Flash the patched recovery file [not sure how to do this]

Reboot in Recovery [not sure how to do this]

Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik in Recovery [not sure how to do this]

Flash OTA thru Recovery [not sure how to do this]
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
3G works to rogers razr. The ota flash procedure seems far beyond your knowledge. Maybe flashing retail.br again will correctly set you apns.

I did a tutorial for this setup since others rogers users complained the same

Please, take a look on these settings first

[Motorola Droid RAZR] sebastianmc:
Hi Pedro. Great news!

Is this ICS the official? Cos the system info is the same on the 2nd ota latam..

My razr is running on the first 4.0.4, I think I'll find a new device after flashing this ICS :)

Thanx bro!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ricardofago:
Yeah, it's the same system provided by the second OTA. As it's the signed fastboot, I'd say it's official. I jumped from the first OTA to this version too and I must say it's quite impressive, besides there are no visual differences, performance, stability and battery lifetime look pretty improved. It's also a new kernel. Hence v4.0.4 is being released around the world, I'm guessing this is a good shot for an official release.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] inheme:
I have asked it before, but I was not sure enough to do anything, so I'll just ask again.

I'm currently using the Chinese ICS with the modified mmb18 file ( I don't have the original one anymore ). If I flash this so called Oficial LATM ICS over the chinese ICS and still using the modified mmb18 file, would it work????
