Need help!!! After restore to WiFi Stock with nvflash i have different service tag and mac address! Why? Thanks!
What rom are you restoring from? And maybe Im wrong here but, sounds like you got a bad rom to use when you rooted. Your MAC address should never change as its a system/hardware level type of information. Thats hardwired into the NIC. As far as your service tag... Dont know what to tell you, I would think that is also hardwired into the system.
Maybe you can get another stock rom & flash it to that & see what happens.
I have a true stock rom if you'd like me to upload it so you can try that. I say a "true" stock rom..because I have found a few that were not true wifi only stock rom's even though they said it was. Good luck & hope it works out for you.
Thanks! Can you upload "true" stock rom? Thanks!!!
I sure will
I'll let you know as soon as I do.
Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

I have had a problem develop recently and I have not really changed anything that I can think of to cause this problem but my phone will not connect to wifi.
first of im on cm5.0.5.3, epe54b and im running launcher2... the problem is if i go to turn wifi on it just says "unable to start wifi" and I cannot check the box to turn it on...
now i could go back to one of my nandroids or reset everything but I dont really care to because I would rather figure out this problem as-is... any ideas?
I am wondering if a file got corrupted or something along the way, but more-less it was like one day it worked and the next day it said nope not gunna happen haha...
You need to copy in a compatible wifi driver to go with the new kernel.

If it happens again I would recommend reflashing Cyan's rom and then gapps addon. You can do that without wiping so it shouldn't affect anything. If i continues after that, you may have to wipe and install.

unplug the usb cable, reboot the phone.
(fyi, 3gs is an iphone, you mean 3g)
Thanks for the quock reply. I tried restarting the phone but it still not working..
What can be done to get 3g working?
Hmmm... I'd recommend loading a different modem or a different ROM. However, I'm not sure if I understood you correctly... can you make calls while on the stock ROM? If not, I'd return it to AT&T for an exchange.
Not working in stock too.. Will go to att store. Not sure they exchange the phone, but lets try with sim.

So you didn't have you sim card in did I read that correctly. If that is the case then yes you won't be able to do anything with the phone on the ATT network.
If that is not the case then yes I would look into returning it
I followed these steps and it worked fine now..

Thanks for helping me out..Appreciate..
Hello everyone.
First of all I want to say sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but I really dont know where else to do it. Most topics doesnt allow me to post yet
I am new in this all about Android smartphones, root and custom kernels.
I just did a root to my phone today, it worked fine. Then I installed this kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818830
Which also works perfect. But now I have a big problem and is that the phone keep changing of mac adress. I do use my router with mac adress filter so now everytime I restart the phone I have a new mac adress. I googled about this A LOT trust me, and I found this threat:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/5650-wip-guide-nvs-map-creation-aka-how-i-fixed-my-wifimac-issues/
But that doesnt work, I cant even type the first command "wlan_cu" because everytime I try i get this error "wlan_cu: not found"
I am completely lost now and I only can hope for someone to lend me a hand.
Thanks in advanced to everyone
Seems like no one is interested to give a solution. I have the same problem but no solution!

The solution is to not use the default ROM. You can download different ROM's versions that will work with this phone using the custom kernel. And I dont meant custom ROMs, just official ROMs but different version.
Anyway, I recommend you to use "Simplicity" ROM. Is a custom ROM that is 100 times better than the default one. It doesnt contain so many crappy APPs by default so you can choose wich ones you want. Have the look of ICS, better icons and such. Give it a try.
Hi everyone. i am new here!
I just used odin to get back to stock rom for my captivate, i had [4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[RC2] rom installed before i installed stock rom
everything working fine right now but when i plug my usb into the phone to copy some files it just automatically turns off after 4-5 second and it stays turned off , and when i unplug usb, its automatically turns on again. even when i plug my phone charger, happening same thing. that means i can't even charge my phone! was searching this problem , there are some similar problems but not like this, could not find any solution yet.
- Tried 2 different usb cabels but same thing happening on both.
- I did not drop my phone or something like that.
- battery was working fine. except it loses energy pretty faster, like 1 day.
I installed stock rom because i wanted to fix my IMEI problem and then wanted to go back to Captivating xperia themed rom. now IMEI is fixed but how do i install rom if i can't even use my usb?
Please help!
Thanks.
Never mind. i fixed it by my self. looks like it was my stock rom causing that usb problem. i installed another rom by using "download mode" from odin. now my problem is fixed but my imei is still messed up. hope i will fix that soon too.

You'll have to flash stock 2.3 with Odin to fix your imei.

Yeah i know, that's what i did because of imei but then this problem started what i mentioned. so i went to costom rom again and phone does not reboot anymore but yea imei is still messed up, but i can still receive calls and messages, but "antenna" is on very low, like 1 or 2 lines.

That could be your modem, might need to flash another.
For your imei, try to flash another ROM from stock. Your phone obviously doesn't like the one you're using atm.

Modem is the radio. Just like a kernel, you can flash another that could work better in your area.

Is wifi actually turning on and detecting your network?
It seems like somehow you have wiped or corrupted the radio partition.
Easy fix is to simply flash stock firmware.
Thank you so much for all your help. Im unable to flash stock .iv done all the updates and then rooted. On AOL1 rom. Cannot find the file for that rom. Do you know of a way to find it? Again thank you.
I know your very busy and i really do appreciate any response youve given me.

Doesn't matter what you are on now. Stock firmware will replace it.
