A little update for you all - I spent my past two days researching C++ in Android. The project - a truly universal MAC changer - is theoretically ready. I ended up coding a fully functional MAC file finder! After some tweaks I was able to search my whole phone (successfully) for less than 30 seconds!!! If I find time to code the GUI and publish the app you will witness something nobody has done before :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ViRb3:
There's no way to know unless you try. If you've got an invalid MAC for any reason, this tool may help you. If this tool says that it doesn't support your device, then you've got a corrupted MAC file - let me know and I'll help you.

Hi, I have the same problem on my Nexus5, the tool says that device is not supported.

I have mac 02:00:00:00:00:00 and don't have EFS partition.

I will appreciate for your help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Thargorsson:
Nexus is also easy as far as I remember. U got a /persist partition in which the Mac is located. There should be a file which has the Mac address.

I can look it up got it somewhere written down.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ViRb3:
If you take a look at the source code:

https://github.com/ViRb3/nMAC/blob/master/nMAC/Devices/Nexus5.cs

nMAC expects /persist/wifi/.macaddr, which will have the MAC address as raw bytes and nothing else - 6 bytes in total. I can send you a copy of the file later today when I get a hold of my Nexus 5.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ok555:
Thank you very much. I hope it will help me.

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

Thank you very much. I hope it will help me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ViRb3:
Sorry it took me so long. I extracted the needed files from my Nexus 5 and changed the MAC to the following: F8 A9 D0 46 2A 99

You can download the archive here: View attachment fix.tar

The content is the following:

drwxrwx--- 1010/1000 0 2019-04-19 23:53 wifi/
-rw-rw---- 1010/1000 6 2019-04-19 23:52 wifi/.macaddr
1010 = wifi, 1000 = system

Place the wifi folder in /persist, so the structure is like this:

/persist/wifi/.macaddr

It is CRITICAL that you keep the permissions and ownership of the files as I packaged them in the TAR. Sample commands via adb:

adb push fix.tar /sdcard
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard
tar -xf fix.tar -C /persist

Finally, reboot and you should hopefully have working Wi-Fi. Make sure you change your MAC after that.

Good luck!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ok555:
Thank you very much! However I cant put the file to the folder. When I use adb on my laptop I get "no permission" reply. Should I use adb from my phone instead? I also tried to put it through wugfresh toolkit but unsuccessful as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ViRb3:
Yes, you should be able to do this on the phone. Your phone is rooted, right? Make sure root over ADB is enabled in your root manager. The "su" command from above is supposed to escalate your ADB shell and get rid of the "no permission" error.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ok555:
Thank you again! Finally I managed to put the file and got wifi worked for about half an hour. However it constantly disappeared an I needed to restart the phone. Finally I got the phone soft-bricked and after wiping and reinstall system I don't have folder "persist", again got mac address 02:00:00:00:00:00(((

It seems I need a new phone)))

Thank you again for your time

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLivingAndroid:
Hi all, so I know there have been talks before about the battery on the G3 but since not all issues are the same I decided to ask anyway in hope that someone could assist me in some way to figure out what the issue is.

TL : DR:

Got LG G3 (Stock ROM: Lollipop 5.0), let battery run flat, started charging it through the mains, woke up next day to it taking 6 hours to get to 100%, using charger that came with it (5.0v 1.8A UK mains charger, model: MCS-04UR).

So I just got the LG G3 as my old phone was a pile of rubbish these days (Huawei Y530) and so far I'm EXTREMELY happy with it, I needed it mainly for VR since I do YouTube and have been getting asked to do VR Videos so after looking around I found the G3 which was in my price range and grabbed it.

But here is where the issue starts, the battery ran flat so I plugged it into the 5.0v 1.8A UK mains charger that came with it (model: MCS-04UR) and after a few minutes it came up with an estimated time till full charge, of course I was shocked at the 19hr+ estimate but figured this would likely go down after I turned the screen off and just left it alone as I wouldn't be using it for anything other then push notifications over WiFi, about 4 hours later I needed to use the phone again so I unlocked it and saw that it was going to 7hr+ hours and was only at 32% after 4hours: imgur.com/XjPqu4X

So I left it on my desk and went to bed but when I woke up I saw that it was still charging and was only around 90%, so I left it alone until it was 100% and then checked the battery usage meter to see how long it had taken, this was the result: imgur.com/LBj3L2m

As you can see it had a bit of usage for a couple of hours which im guessing was maybe updates or something but even with taking into account it took a long time to get to full charge, I was under the impression that "Quick Charge" was meant to be quick and would get you around 50% within 30 minutes but that just doesn't seem to be the case with me, does anyone have any idea why this is.

I also did another test the next time the batter went dead this time charging with the phone off and once again connected to the mains charger, from 0% to 100% it took 6 hours 9 minutes, with it taking around 3 hours to get to 80% and 4 hours 20 to get to 90%.

After it had fully charged I turned it on to see what the estimate time remaining before it would die again was and it said 2 hours, this surely can't be normal...I mean I get that smartphones use a lot of power these days but this is a 3000mAh battery, I must be right in thinking it shouldn't take over 6hrs to fully charge and only last around 2hours if the screen was left on at lowest brightness.

Worth noting that this a second hand phone from a trade-in store.

•Phone: LG G3 D855

•OS: Android 5.0

•Kernel version: 3.4.0

•Software Version: V21a-EUR-XX

(No SIM Card in it yet as wanted to give it a good test before transferring over all my contacts and such)

These are the charger and cable I got with the phone, im assuming that they are default.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] stew1411:
No. There is no root or unlockable bootloader
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] johnkirchner:
The only thing AT&T will unlock (since its paid for) is the SIM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] XGX5309:
It should be illegal what AT&T does with the bootloader. If I pay for a phone, and after all contractual obligations are finished, it shouldn't be any more difficult to unlock the bootloader than it is to unlock the SIM. AT&T should have no control over something they DO NOT OWN.

If u can go to fast boot u can check by opening the adb command window and typing fastboot oem device-info.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xeno1:
It sounds like you missed the CID unlocking step, which happens. Download Wizard Service Tools and click on CID actions and find out for sure if you are CID unlocked. If you're not then you need to go through all the steps again to CID unlock it, if you are then it may have just been a bad flash, try flashing it again.

[Lenovo Vibe K5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phatal7:
Shreps came out with a way to get ROOT in the Lenovo K5 Plus but I had a question about how to install TWRP in a Lenovo K5 plus and romulocarlos answered;

"Is simple. You will not FLASH that recovery, will BOOT INTO that recovery. Your phone, at this point, will be untouched.

To boot into that recovery, you must install Qualcomm drivers first. Then, you need ADB and FASTBOOT. All these three are easily found in XDA.

Then, boot your phone to fastboot mode. To do this, turn off the phone and remove battery. Press AND HOLD volume up button and turn on the phone. When it vibrates, release the power button but keep volume up pressed until you be presented to a menu. In this menu, touch "fastboot". The phone will restart, and stop at lenovo logo.

Once you have it all, copy the TWRP image to the same folder as ADB and FASTBOOT resides, and then in a administrator command prompt, type this command:

fastboot boot twrp-k5-3.0.2-r1_shreps.img

Your phone will reboot again, and you will be presented to recovery.

Post your question at forum, maybe your question is the question of other people, and more people can help you, too.

Hello,

I am just new with Samsung smartphones, previously I was on some other devices such Nexus which are easier to mod.

I would like to tweak the kernel( I already got the sources) to add few things but I need for that eventually the ramdisk and the kernel image to make a boot image.

I wanted to download the latest firmware, hoping a default boot image was integrated in it and that I could unpack but I got issue and connection loss so I can't even take a look at it.

I think I will be able to get the boot image with the dd command but to do so I need to be in a mod recovery(such twrp) and currently I can't.

Thx u :D

Firstly you've created a voting thread. If this is a standard question I suggest in future you leave the options at default.

Why can't you use TWRP?

My build also supports raw image backup of the boot partition.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Khaon:
Sorry about creating wrong thread type

Woot Yeah I didn't know about that!

So I can just get the current boot image, unpack it, replace with my kernel image, repack and done.

And then flash the boot image throw a zip install or your extended function.

Btw, I am was looking over the net but couldn't find an exact answer to this extra Q, is there any fastboot mode ? So I can just boot in a custom kernel image before flashing it.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ashyx:
Yep, just backup the boot partition using twrp.

Locate the boot image backup in the twrp backup folder.

Unpack it, make your mods, rename it boot.img, copy it to internal or external storage and flash it with TWRP using the INSTALL button.

I know this is an odd question, but I've been unsuccessful asking the question in the Development forums. The main Skydragon ROM no longer seems to include support (the T-Mobile Skydragon is from Dec 2015). Viper's main ROM doesn't either, and although their T-Mobile variant is from March 2016 it has proved really buggy for me. Cyanogenmod 13 was supposed to include it, but I've seen no further details. I know of no other actively developed ROMs that bother to include this valuable feature. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
