[Q] HELP - Mac adress keep changing after every reboot - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

my phone is not supporting any bluetooth

i have firm ware version 1.5 and every bluetooth i try on my phone doesnt work can someone help me
I got the same problem after rooting device. I use image RC29 and JACKHeroski ROM. But the bluetooth function is used by me rarely.
i really need my bluetooth im almost always in my car ... i need help
and i cant use my bluetooth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bluetoo has not work on jack yet
you guys need to know that , blutoo just has not work on jackhero.
bluetoo work on cyanengen, jf1.5.
first of all,
you need to explain more than your running 1.5
is your phone rooted.
have you tried rebooting your phone / wipe your phone
are you using any custom roms etc.
yes i did all of that rebooted anf=d everything but my bluetooth does not work
an my phone is rooted
excuse me sir.
ok, a suggestion. goto quicklinks and edit your sig. let us know what rom, radio and spl you are running. second, do you have adb? no? get adb installed so you can run logcat and we can get an idea what exactly is going on with your device. third: what is the history of your phone? what process did you follow to get where you are now? when is the last time you wiped? etc. etc. etc.
if you have questions about the aforementioned items, search. apply google-fu accordingly.
We can't help if we don't have something tangible to work with. internets are not magic, simply shouting "my stuff is b0rked" will not automagically repair your problem. harry potter is an iphone user. you are not harry potter, and that phone in your hand is no iphone.
i'd love to help you but simply cannot until you give me something firmer to work with.
Define doesn't work. Does it not connect? Does it seem to connect then you lose all audio? Does it stab you in the face? What does it do, exactly. Have you updated your radio?
This is a "my car doesn't work, how do I fix it?" kinda thread..
We need info in order to help you!
Did it work before?
what have you done in order to break it?
What are the errors?
What version af ROM are you running?
What radio version are you running?
etc etc etc..
BTW bumping the thread doesn't help either, it just will make a nice padlock appear on the thread, just like by magic..
And I moved the thread from DEVELOPMENT (!) to Q&A..
Try using a different ROM as suggested. The _Hero_ Roms don't support BT yet. If you need it you'll have to switch to JF, Cyanogen or Haykuro's etc. ROMs.
Just like everyone else said. And one more sugestion have you updated your radio.
how mean. thanks
look every one is being so mean. n e ways when i say it doesnt work i mean that it says its connected to bluetooth but u cant hear anything when u send or receive a call and for sure i know its not the bluetoth because i have 5 different ones and none work. i dont know if it have ever worked because i just started using the bluetooth . and well ill try finding our the rest of the info because i dont do the updates my self only sometimes and i dont know all them numbers u guys are asking for what i know are the numbers i put in the other messages. but its ok thanks to those who helped...
ok... seems like we got some info here.
It seems that someone else has been modding your phone for you. Installing custom ROMS is nothing to be taken lightly, you should really research things a bit to get a better understanding of how your phone actually works.
I wasn't trying to be mean, please understand that you posted a help request in a forum designated for development of new applications and customization of the system images that make up the operating system you see when your phone boots up. Posts like these have become a growing problem lately and many users here are getting frustrated, myself included.
First of all, goto settings, about phone.
Write down the following information:
Model Number
Firmware version
Baseband version
Kernel Version
Mod Version (if its there)
Build Number (if its there)
Post that info in a thread in Q&A, where this thread belonged to begin with and maybe we can actually get somewhere.
Model Number:x201
Android version : 4.2.2
Baseband version: moly.wr8.w1315.md.wg.mp v4.P1, 2013/11/09 14:19
Kernel version: 3.4.5 [email protected] #11
Custom build version: ensec 20140318
my bluetooth wont connect with my iphone 5? it says "connection unsuccessful, Truesmart is not supported
any suggestions??
thanks

Flashed to Valkyrie and for sudden volume button not working...

Guys plz help me. I have flashed my X1i to Valkyrie last days and for sudden the volume button is not working, not even for entering bootloader for changing rom.
Have anyone experienced this? Is there any solution? The button was working and after flash not anymore, this way i think it is not broken, and just a compatibility issue with my hardware, but i cant say why this happening.
Any help wellcome.
Regards, Eduardo.

You use Agent rom and you never search at his thread??? Are you......????
Ok guys, sry, i though was a problem with my phone, not a ROM issue. I just have not seen anything about that on bugs issue on his post.
I will search that, sry for the inconvenience, and ty much for pointing out the solution.
oo sorry
did i forget to mention that i secretly put a virus to kill ur hardwares......keep it for a lil more than a day now and ur device wont even boot
PS: @ all : there is no need to worry for u guys, the virus is only effective when it detects OP's IMSI number
Hey, u dont need to make a joke on me, right? The thing is that the HARDWARE button is not working. For volume, for bootloading, etc... and i cant find a solution on your post, and i dont think its a ROM problem, never told that, ok Agent?
The problem is that Valkyrie post has more than 1k posts... should i read it all?
Ty again for pointing the solution.
You could try another rom... and if it still doesn't work... think it's really HW problem... need to be fixed or replaced.
Thats the problem, how to flash another ROM if i cant enter bootloader?
then this is not your world kid, find a way ...
Yeah, i notice everyone that use this site is an expert hacker that know how to do ROMs and stuffs... here i have no room.
Ty for helping.
No more talking required, just did corrected my problem, YES, i found a sollution that is not written here, and since every1 here knows much more than me, there is no need to share.
Best regards.

Use the RUU tool and flash via usb. It will go into tri color bootloader automaticly

I have been using this forum for a while now and most of the experts are quite rude when you do something slightly wrong - so don't worry about it. This is still a great resource so keep posting...

Interesting, seems to be happening to a few people... may be related to this thread, too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618760
Maybe something related to some of the latest WM6.5 builds? Anyway, glad you found a solution. killer8nl posted a good way to get another ROM loaded (RUU tool and USB) to see if that fixes it for those who still have the problem.

And if your on Windows 7 x64 like me, and you don't want to get in unsigned driver mode all the time, just copy the file attached to your SD card and run it on your phone, it will restart in bootloader
I always use this since my volume down key isn't working like it should either, i think it is just sort of broken, due to pushing it way to many times, to flash every day
ok, can I remind people of the forum rules
1. Search before posting
2. Be polite and respect your fellow xda-dev user.
If you feel someone has created a thread for no reason, report it, do not respond with a lack of respect. We want to encourage people to use XDA, not be rude to them and scare them off!! If people continue in this manner it will be them banned, not the person who opened the thread!! Consider this first and last warning!!
Also, before anyone opens a new thread, use the 'search' function and see if any related or similar threads exist. Most questions have already been asked
If people continue to flaunt the forum rules I will have no other option but to ban them!

You don't have to go in unsigned driver mode for this. I'm also running windows 7 64 bit ultimate and no problem for flashing via ruu for me

This thread is very misleading. Why don't you PM the author or ask at his thread. You flash his rom and you open a new thread...?
Cheers.

[Froyo]word suggestion problem when typing ?

Hi all
first time poster here
I currently have a rooted N1, and just recently update to froyo, love it so far
but i have a problem, after the update, the word suggestion feature doesnt seem to work, like normally, if you type something wrong, it will show a bunch of suggestion above the keyboard.
It just doesnt do that anymore
anybody have any idea ?
Thanks
It certainly should still be there. Did you wipe before installing 2.2?
yea i followed the instruction given

[Q] Restore to WiFi Stock !!!

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!

[Q] i9000, no wifi and BT mac address, phone crashes

Hello
Fair warning to any of you helpful and insightul people on these forums; english is not my native language.
This is my story:
I've been casually reading these forums for a while, reading about the custom ROMs available for my i9000. For no better reason than the urge for a change, I decided to get ICS for my phone, this one
My phone was not rooted before this, so I had to take all the steps in order to upgrade from (if I recall correctly) 2.2.3
The rooting went well, and so did the upgrade to CM9. However when I tried to install the Google Apps package, the phone softbricked. It kept rebooting over and over again, and after an hour or so I gave up. Nothing happened when I pressed the power button, so I just removed the battery. Realizing I had "destroyed" my phone, I searched these forums trying to find a way to recover.
A while after I was able to find a stock firmware. Using Odin I was able to make my phone up and running again.
However, here the current issues started.
1) Activating WiFi makes the phone crash. It reboots and I am unable to turn it off again. Tried 2 times, had to re-flash to the same semi-working solution again. So at the moment I am unable to use this.
2) The alarm clock is very unreliable. The alarm simply won't go off.
3) Under About Phone -> Status it says
Wi-Fi MAC address: unavailable
Bluetooth address: unavailable
I am currently running these versions:
Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9000XXJVO
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWJVH
I would appreciate any help in order to solve my problems. Basically my needs are to make the phone the way it was before I started playing around with it. I have learned my lession, this is not my field of expertise.
I am norwegian so I need a version compatible with the language (for the keyboard, I use english for the phone).
Thanks for reading, I really appreciate it. If there's any information I have forgotten to enter, just say so and I'll try my best to figure it out.

Hello, and thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately this is doesn't work for me. I don't get the "activities" option when I press the screen. I can only chose between Widgets, Shortcuts, Folders and Wallpapers.

you need to use a a ICS type launcher, either Holo, launcher pro etc...just install one from google play, so that you can check out the problem.
