hi i could not find a thread with the working method of changing the mac.. the ifconfig does change it but then u r nt able to connect to the router.. it is firmware based because we all running cm9 stable have the same mac address..

MIUI DATA FIX and WIFI SOLUTION

Hello Guys i found a fix for data disconnection problem for all MIUI
Just extract copy and replace the attached file to system/lib then set the permissions(check all).
http://www.mediafire.com/?df6o1wq1s6rn2fp
If Wifi did not connect automatically than use the static ip method and put those settings:
ip address :192.168.1.101
gateway: 192.168.1.1
netmask: 255.255.255.0
DNS1: 208.67.222.222
DNS2: 208.67.220.220

Wifi is not working normal for me. It will only connect if i configure a static ip otherwise it just wont connect (obtaining ip address -> disconnected over and over again) the thing is im at uni with multiple computers using the wifi so i cant assign a static ip.. urrgg only real problem i have! :S
Thanks for the find and the share though! really appreciated! ^^

Try to set your ip to 192.168.1.172 for eg and test again.i know that it is impossible that all users have the same ip but it was a solution for now.if a good dev can rewrite this lib file then we will have data and wifi working together.
Anyway i am still searching and testing stuff and hope i can find a good news.
another solution is using 'wifi static' free from the market
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.statIc
It let's you configure different static wifi ip for each AP, and it switches automatically between them
Worked fine for me on any MIUI ROM, until I switched to thegoCM....

That's right, but you can connect on the first time with DHCP, and then the application can generate the ip, dns etc automatically

I think you have something wrong in the rom that you are using, cause 400 user download this file,and only you have this problem.so maybe try a fresh install for the rom without any restore and try again.

Have you tried using google instead of spamming these forums? Remember this is a community, not a place to "fix what I ****ed up".
P.s. If you google it you will find the answer in less than 1 minute. But being the sinister person I am, I wont give you the link.

For those who have many problems with wifi tethering on stock JB Xperia U

Well, I use pipi14's v10 ROM and I was wonder why wifi tethering was not working??
A good question.
I found the solution. Use ICS .89 fix for wifi tethering and you will get wifi tethering working well..
For those who are bored about editing SQL..
I attach something to you..
unzip it and just place it in sdcard and go to Root Explorer..
1 In RE, go to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
2 Delete settings.db
3 Place my settings.db
4 Set correct permission
Read Write Execute
Owner X X
Group X X
Others
X is the one you have to check in Root Explorer..
That's it and you have wifi tether and usb tether working with APN.
If you guys want to do it manually, please do a reply or check out fixing .89 firmware about wifi-tether.. It's the same..
Please make a backup before doing ANYTHING!!!!!
Thank you..
Best regards..
Little Zed
I didn't have any problem before but… who knows? Thanks for this then!

Problem change mac address Redmi note 4

I want to change my MAC Address.. Device redmi note 4 (Snapdragon) has rooted + supersu + twrp + busybox.
i tried many methods with miui roms and LOS/AOSP custom roms.. nothing works.
I tried a app "change my mac" which one working awsm with other devices. But when i trying to change MAC im getting reboot. And after rebnot nothing changed.
Even i found MAC Address path after many research and trying to change manually but no luck..
here is path
/sys/devices/soc/a000000.qcom,wcnss-wlan/wcnss_mac_addr
But, when i try to save after edit MAC, sometimes it saves but file automatically gets to his default Mac and sometimes its getting reboot, (same like "change my mac app")
There is another app called "WiFi Mac changer" by Osama abukmail which changes Mac address successfully but it is not changing Mac from "wcnss_mac_addr" so when try connect to wifi after changing my Mac from this app its says "" network selection disabled authentication rejection""
Anyone plz help me

Why do you want to change your Mac address?
We have WiFi at neighbours which has Mac filtering enabled.??
Even we knew the password we can't use it so...
We already spoofed Mac of MTK processor devices but RN4 is not changing its Mac address from file
/sys/devices/soc/a000000.qcom,wcnss-wlan/wcnss_mac_addr
When tried from 3 Rd party app, device gets reboot automatically ??
Some apps show "Mac change successfully but when I open wcnss_mac_addr file there is defult Mac only..it's not changing..
please help

Perhaps I actually need to spell this out very clearly - using your neighbour's WiFi without his permission is illegal. Nobody here will assist you to do that.

What permission!! There is no need for permission. My original Mac has already added to the router. I wanted to connect it with neighbours Mac address that's it..
Also it's better to use spoof Mac at restaurant, coffee shops, McDonald etc.
I found this post is related to this issue. https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/nexus-4-mac-changer-spoofing-t2180809
Please any Dev figure out how to edit those files in RN4
