[Desire HD Android Development] Northantrim:
Thank you so much! I've rooted many devices in the past, mainly HTCs and my mum has finally let me root her Galaxy Tab 2 and DHD.

Rooting the Tab was fine, but I had lots of issues with the DHD apparently needing downgraded and needing a Goldcard but no sites worked etcetera..overall I spent about 4 hours and got nowhere.

Then I found this. hboot updated, bootloader unlocked, recovery flashed and SuperSU flashed in in ~5 minutes. Thanks a lot!!

:D

I have just bought an XDA II and would like to connect to the internet for free with it. I have wifi in the house, but I believe that there isn't a wifi card for the XDA II yet. I also have a Toshiba laptop which has bluetooth and infra red. I would like to use the bluetooth to connect to the net if possible, otherwise the infra red would do. Does anybody know if this is possible? or even better, how it is done?

Thanks

Requirements

1. Rooted Phone

2. Busybox installed

3. Mac Address Ghost app

4. A brain

------Disclaimer-------

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any questions before modifying your phone. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.

------Disclaimer-------

About the requirements.

1.You need to root your device.

In order to do that search Google with - insert your device's model number here- root. Or you can search XDA, which is where Google will probably lead you to.

2.You need to have busybox installed. Most custom ROMS already have it installed. But if you don't have it installed this app here does an awesome job and doesn't require an internet connection. Just select the latest version and install it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer

3. You need this app here

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=diewland.changemac

Instructions

Follow these exactly or it won't work.

1. Open the Mac Address Ghost app

2. Click on the wrench icon on the right.

View attachment 1975172

3. Click on add.

View attachment 1975175

4. Now fill in the blanks

The profile name doesn't matter.

In the 2nd blank put in wlan0 if you have a newer phone. If it doesn't work later, put in eth0 and it should work.

In the 3rd blank put in the mac address you want to change to. It will automatically capitalize and input colons.

5. Now click OK and save.

6. Close the app.

7. Open your wifi settings.

8. Long press on the network you want to connect to and click forget. If the option to forget doesn't show up its because it's already forgotten.

9. Open Mac Address Ghost again.

10 . click on the big button and select your address from the list (probably the first one)

View attachment 1975184

11. Press the button that says "Classic"

12. This is important. You will be prompted to give superuser permissions to Mac Address Ghost. If you have The old Superuser that looks like this View attachment 1975185 then check remember. If you have the new ClockworkMod superuser then check "This time only". View attachment 1975186

13. the app will then open wifi settings where you can select the appropriate network to connect to.

The new mac address is temporary and only lasts till you turn wifi off or reboot.

To change your mac address again repeat process starting with step 7.

Please report back with your success or failure. I do know that on gingerbread devices you don't have to forget the network every time. I have only tested this on Gingerbread and Jellybean so far.

Feel free to press the thanks button if I helped you.

Buddy I think you dont know, after changing MAC Address the network doesnt work.

Changing MAC is illegal. :D

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ih8legal:
I don't know what you mean. The network doesn't work. What do you mean by that?

And spoofing or changing the mac address of a device isn't illegal in itself. But what you do with your spoofed mac address could be. If you use it to access an internet connection with multiple devices that you only paid for one then it's illegal.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Deleted member 2736178:
everytime I see someone say that changing your MAC is illegal i facepalm... anyway, the issue is that when you change the MAC you are no longer able to authenticate to your wifi AP it will sit at authenticating, at least this is what happens for me (dd-wrt)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ih8legal:
Turning WiFi off and then on again will reset your Mac to original. If it sits authenticating then you probably don't have an allowed Mac address on that particular network.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Deleted member 2736178:
yeah getting back to original is no sweat, but the sitting at authenticating is not related to MAC filtering, in fact my router is not setup to filter MACs and a quick google shows this is a very common issue. Personally I don't care or need to change my MAC but it's just something of interest to follow
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ravissimo:
So I'm at a hotel and I've successfully used my rooted SGS3 as a WiFi hotspot to connect my Nexus 7 and Chromecast and watch Netflix on the hotel TV. While it works great since I get roughly ~24Mbps down and I have Sprint, so unlimited LTE, I was trying to get this working through the hotel WiFi. While my Nexus 7 connects to the hotel WiFi, it requires a login via the hotel website, but the WiFi is otherwise unprotected.

I used this guide and the ghost Mac address app and I thought it worked because after I spoofed the chromecast's Mac address on my SGS3, I got a new alert to log in to the hotel's WiFi network. I logged in and assumed the device was authorized and then reverted my phone's Mac address to normal and reconnected the Chromecast to the TV (I had it unplugged while I was spoofing it on my phone). While it seemed to work, I still can't get the Chromecast connected to the hotel WiFi. It just keeps saying it can't connect to the WiFi network.

Has anyone else tried this and had success? Or does anyone else know if this is a limitation of the Chromecast? I know all of the devices work since they work at home but also via WiFi tether on my phone. Suggestions?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ih8legal:
I'm not sure how that would work because the chromecast would still have to go through the hotel's login page which it doesn't support. I don't think those login pages remember Mac addresses and allow them in without relogin.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ravissimo:
Well I'm not sure what is or isn't remembered in their system, but as I've disconnected both my phone and laptop from the hotel WiFi and then reconnected, I *don't* get their login page again. And when I did spoof the Chromecast Mac address on my phone, I immediately got the login page again, so clearly the mac address is used as the identifier for devices and clearly there's at least several hours, likely a day, or more for temporary Mac address authorization. Not sure what else could be the problem. I think it might just be a Chromecast issue. :(

[LG Optimus Black] garzacorporations:
Hi, I'm on IZS 0.4 (4.0.4) and I'm thinking to dwongrade to Zeus 7.06 (2.3.6) as I found it much smoother and fast.

Which features can I loose changing ICS by GB? Any important app that works only on ICS?
[LG Optimus Black] ykumar00:
The main thing is that many apps only work on ics+. But given the bugs in ics, I think the downgrade will be worth it. I'm also planning to downgrade to gb to unless marvel 12 comes out.
[LG Optimus Black] garzacorporations:
I'm thinking exactly the same. As there is no new izs and marvel v12 is taking too much, I'm coming back to Zeus.
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Since Marvel 12 Beta (France version B) was announced, LG has released ICS France C, and versions D, E, and F. Most folks are posting glowing reviews of the latter versions, and Tantrums has commented that "D" was the best that he's used in terms of performance. My guess is that he's doing some significant modding based on D or a subsequent version.

He can take all the time he needs if he's producing a better product.
[LG Optimus Black] garzacorporations:
Yes, but sometimes, if a project takes too much time to improve, eventually it can be cancelled without releasing anything (remembrer Duke Nukem Forever). And is more than usual that people comes back to the latest fast and smooth working product (in this case for me zeus 7.06).
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Marvel 12 Beta is in the wild, but it needs some work. I'm hoping he'll have something soon. He's been providing the repacked versions of D, E, and F, so he's in tune with what's being released and "current". My thoughts are that some major rework is being done, and Tantrums' releases are usually very solid.

I'll wait.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blu422:
Hey everybody. I didn't get any replies in the vibrant section, and I figured it is also an over all samsung product question so here goes. I bought a very messed up samsung galaxy vibrant t959 off a friend for $20 hoping I could fix it. They had flashed a captivate rom to it but I can still manage to get it into download mode. But heres the problem. Odin wont recognize it when I plug it in it just says windows does not recognize device has malfunctioned or something along the lines of that, the bubble shows up over and over every two seconds. I got odin to recognize it once before, but my brother unplugged it XP. Now I can not get odin to recognize it again, any tips? I have a linux computer at my disposal as well if that helps. I am familiar with flashing, odin, android sdk, adb. I know I have drivers installed good because the same cable with the same port and same computer I actually modded this same device before my friend messed it up. Any help at all would be much appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I would recommend uninstalling and then re-installing your USB drivers and see if Odin will then recognize the phone. Another alternative would be to see if Heimdall recognizes the device and use that to flash the stock ROM to the device. If you are unfamiliar on how to use Heimdall I would recommend taking a look at this guide.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blu422:
Heimdall on windows also will not detect it :(

Would it make a difference if I tried it on linux? I'll also try reinstalling drivers

Edit: reinstalling drivers did not work

I believe you can download Samsung mobile phone driver on Samsung website
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
You can try it on Linux I can't guarantee it will make a difference but I would try it anyway. If you are going to try it on Linux make sure you configure USB access for the device correctly in order for the computer to recognize your phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
First-and-foremost, I believe it is appropriate to ask this question here in this forum, if not, I apologize.

Now to my inquiry. I've kinda hit a brick wall trying to remove an item from the Settings.apk. To be more specific, I'm trying to remove the "CyanogenMod version" item from the "About Phone" menu in the Settings.apk. Here's a picture for reference: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/11/cm10.1n4.jpg.

So I tried to accomplish this by decompiling the System.apk with apk-multi-tool, going into the strings.xml in the res/values/ directory and removing the following two lines:

<string name="mod_version">CyanogenMod version</string>
<string name="mod_version_default">Unknown</string>

Then I went into the res/xml/ directory, opened up the device_info_settings.xml and removed the following line:

<Preference android:title="@string/mod_version" android:key="mod_version" android:summary="@string/mod_version_default" style="?android:preferenceInformationStyle" />

After that I went and recompiled it using the "Compile System APK files" option in apk-multi-tool and everything appeared to go perfectly fine. I then took the "unsignedSettings.apk", put it in the system/app/ directory, renamed it to "Settings.apk", and set appropriate permissions. Rebooted my phone, opened the Settings menu, went to "About Phone", and BAM! Big ol' error message: "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped". With one manly tear running down my face, and the feeling of utter defeat, I hit "OK"... Lol, okay, maybe there weren't any tears (:p), but to see the error message was definitely a major disappointment.

Anyhow, if anyone with more experience is willing to give a semi-novice a helping hand, it'd be very greatly appreciated. Thanks! :good:

-----------------------------------------------------------

PS: I'm not sure if this issue correlates to the fact that the "CyanogenMod version" refers to the build.prop code:

ro.modversion=EXAMPLE

Considering I had no issue removing "CyanogenMod Statistics" from the Settings.apk prior to this (using a similar method to the one described above), I'm rather confused as to why removing the "CyanogenMod version" is such a pain. Unless there's a reference or something somewhere in the code I'm missing... I dunno... :confused:
