I've seen some people reporting problems with their Wi-Fi MAC address changing after flashing a custom ROM (e.g. one of mine).

Now there aren't many cases where this will cause problems, only if your network has MAC address filtering or if we would all be on the same network with our T's but I decided I wanted to fix it any way.
I got on the right track when I read norti's remark in a thread I happened to stumble upon.
norti said:
This looks good for the Xperia T too, but what mac address do you have now? I have 30:39:26:9f:ed:2e (and others who use cooked roms have the same) but the original mac address of the phone is in /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0 (assuming you flashed the userdata.sin from the ftf file before). How can we revert it back to the original?

Looking through the files in my build directory and comparing them to the stock ftf I noticed some dead symlinks in /system/etc/firmware/wlan pointing to the aforementioned /data/etc/wlan_macaddr(0/1/2/3). All that was needed was to delete those files and create the proper symlinks.
I made a small CWM-flashable zip for this.
ROM chefs could put these lines in their updater-script. While we're symlinking, there's no need to copy /system/lib/modules/prima/prima_wlan.ko to /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko if you use these lines.
Code:
symlink("/system/lib/modules/prima/prima_wlan.ko", "/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko");
symlink("/data/etc/wlan_macaddr0", "/system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr0");
symlink("/data/etc/wlan_macaddr1", "/system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr1");
symlink("/data/etc/wlan_macaddr2", "/system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr2");
symlink("/data/etc/wlan_macaddr3", "/system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr3");
wifi_mac_fix.zip
So if my MAC changed and I'm being filtered out from my office's WiFi all I need to do is flash your .zip? (I'm on a x86 device if that makes any difference)
EDIT - Tried flashing and It aborted the installation, so I guess this is device-specific.

Or do what i did and sent an email to my IT department with my new mac address and they could add it to the network

Yes, this fix is specific to the Xperia T. You might be facing a similar problem that can be fixed with a similar solution but you'd have to take that up with the maker of your ROM.
Or do what gregbradley said, not the best solution in my opinion but probably the quickest. Unless there are more of the same devices with the same problem, i.e. same Mac, it shouldn't be a problem.
thanx Tim for this tip
Missing MAC
I just flashed XT 2.5 on my recently rooted, locked bootloader, XPTL (AT&T). I have not yet flashed the .140 kernel. I've got a request in to crazymister to build a flashable version of that kernel for my TL.
I am missing my wifi MAC address and this fix did not work. I cannot get wifi turned on. What would you suggest?
I will be trying a few things, like a downgrade of your ROM, and if I find a fix that sticks, I'll let you know.
Thanks
This fix has been integrated in my roms ever since I found it so flashing this won't make any difference. You seem to have a different problem.
There's no .140 for TL yet is there? You should be fine using the LT30p kernel. Try flashing the baseband from the last official TL JB firmware.
In FlashTool, just exclude everything except baseband.

UPDATE: Crazymister made a TL kernel for me, based on my original ftf .sin file (from 9.1.F.1.120), but after flashing your ROM, it didn't like the model embedded in the kernel. I went ahead and flashed .140 for the LT30p (as your ROM makes this phone look like that variation) and the kernel flashed properly, I still have root and wifi works! On to set-up! Thanks again!!

Be advised though that once you're on XperimenT 2.5, your TL (LT30at) now appears, to the OS, to be a T (LT30p), so you may get the same error I did when I went to flash it. The LT30p kernel loaded fine and so far, so good.
Good luck!
Sorry man. I'll try to stay on topic.
I tried to fix my MAC address by creating the symlinks as described in the first post. The file located at /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0 was present, but 1, 2 and 3 were not. I created new files with slightly different MAC addresses.
So the symlinks are there (the ZIP file worked so far), but unfortunately, my MAC address ist still 30:39:26:9f:ed:2e.
My device is a Xperia V running CyanogenMod 10.1.3 RC2.
Do you have any hint how I can fix this?

I'm not sure it works the same on CM and I can't test it. What is the MAC address defined in /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0? Open it in a txt editor to see. If it's 30:39:26:9f:ed:2e then there's your problem. To get back to your own MAC address you need to flash back to stock, then copy your /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0 to your pc before going back to CM, then copy it back. The others should all have the same address, not different ones! If there's only one, it shouldn't be a problem.

The MAC address in /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0 is 18:00:....., so the problem is located somewhere else.
Have you checked that the symlink was created correctly?

I can open /system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr0 and see the correct content and SolidExplorer displays the file as a link.
Edit: It also seems to make no difference if /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko links to /system/lib/modules/prima/prima_wlan.ko. If the link is not there (which is the normal case when I flashed CM 10.1), the Wi-Fi works nonetheless.

Are you still looking for a solution?
It didn't work for me either with current CM11 runnning on my Xperia V.
But there is a tool included in CM called mac-update, which automatically patches the firmware file!!!
It was added in commit 942f6a91 in the CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_qcom-common repository.
(Sorry I'm not allowed to post links...)
Start the terminal emulator and run:
Code:
su
mac-update
then backup old nv.bin file and copy the new one to the correct place:
Code:
mv /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin.old
cp /data/misc/wifi/prima/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin
Now reboot and you will have your MAC address back!

This will do nothing other than changing your baseband, nothing else will change and you can do it with whatever ROM you have installed, custom or stock.
1. Get the latest ROM for your region, the simplest way to do that is to use CheckFusDownloader which you can find here: http://fus.nanzen.se/
Start the program and choose firmware, phone (GT-S5570) and region on the right side, then click check firmware on the left side, finally click download and save it to c:\baseband.
2. Get Cygwin here: http://www.cygwin.com/
Install Cygwin (you don't need to change anything if you don't want to, just let setup run it's course until it's installed) and start the Cygwin terminal.
In cygwin, type:
Code:
cd /cygdrive/c/baseband
tar -xvf [filename of your downloaded ROM] amss
tar -H ustar -c amss > MODEM_S5570.tar
For example, if the filename of the ROM you downloaded with CheckFusDownloader is S5570XWKQG_S5570XWKQ5_S5570OXFKQ6_HOME.tar.md5 then you'd type:
Code:
cd /cygdrive/c/baseband
tar -xvf S5570XWKQG_S5570XWKQ5_S5570OXFKQ6_HOME.tar.md5 amss
tar -H ustar -c amss > MODEM_S5570.tar
Once you're done with that you have a baseband file in your C:\baseband directory called MODEM_S5570.tar that you can flash as one package using Odin.
Remember that basebands are intercompatible so just pick the one that is for your region.
And no, no custom rom will care about it regardless of what they say.
Hi
this seems cool trick but to what I understand it gets the baseband out from a downloaded firmware (please correct me if wrong)
Would it be possible to just extract the basesband from the phone?
thanks
Sorry sir I don't get it
Is this just change the baseband I mean just the appearance In about phone or change the system too?

No, it will change the baseband in the phone as in replace your current baseband.
The baseband controls GSM/GPRS/G3/GPS settings which means that if you flash a ROM for another region than your own you might run into problems with all or some of those. For example, i can't remember how many posts i have read on this forum about GPS problems when people have flashed a ROM that isn't for their region.
You can use this procedure to fix that problem, just flash the baseband for your region and it will work fine on ANY ROM, custom or stock.
Basically, it's a universal fix to a problem that some people have.

Nope, you'd need the block area on the phone where it's stored and dd it.
this is for flashing basebands on roms available and if your rom isn't it's because it's old, just use the checkfusdownloader to get the most recent and you'll be fine with that.
I thought i made it all clear in the first post.

I am sure you must have made it clear, only may b I did not understand clearly, and sorry I still do not get this how to do it.
Lets say I got the brand new phone and nothing has been modified, how do I take the baseband out from the PHONE for future use in case if I need to restore the baseband in future.
So anyways, if it is possbile to get it out of the PHONE, please explain it in details how do I do it, sorry I am quite new to this thats why.
thanks my friend.

You don't, you download the latest ROM for your region with checkfusdownloader and use the rest to get whatever baseband you want INTO the phone.
If you already have the correct baseband for your region, why would you change it, if you have the wrong one, you replace it using the method in the OP.
It is possible, but i am not going to spend the time researching blocks to find it, so either you do that yourself for no reason what so ever, or you go with another amss from the same rom that you have which IS THE SAME BASEBAND.
It's not phone unique, it's unique to every region and you can find it or an updated version using the tool i referenced in the OP, if you cannot, your phone doesn't exist or at least Samsung haven't produced that phone.
I am not sure how to make this any more clear than that.

Now it is quite clear to me, thanks.
The only reason I wanted to get one out from my phone was that, the things seem quite ok with the phone so my baseband is quite ok, but in other rom (for my region) if it is an updated one and if there are some better features or removed bugs (unknown to me) then I would install it through your method. But after installing new one if I find that my old baseband was working better than this new one, I would not have chance to put the old one back. So was the reason to backup the baseband from the phone just in case new one does not work good for me.
But as you have made it understood quite clear, thanks for this, really appreciated your help.

Ok, the point of this thread was to provide the TOOL (checkfusdownloader) and the WAY(the explained extraction and compilation of one file that will work.
I still don't get why you don't just use that information.
You CAN use even old basebands found via checkfusdownloader.
If you don't get how to use it, just say so because this seems a bit... puckered with nada.

Wait, why would you flash the CSC, this tutorial is for flashing baebadn without ANYTHING else affected.
And that is what the procedure does, it just changes your baseband without chanign ganything else.
You can pretty much flash any file this way, including recovery or what have you.
So yeah, whatever firmware you want, with whatever baseband you need, this is how you do it.

To answer this as the question is in need of answer.
Yes, you can do that with any rom file in any way you wish except for the boot, img and the arm11 file, just don't mess with those.
If yo REALLY want to, i can tell you how but at that point you'll want more than one phone per person.
my bad I mean the amss file that contains baseband and related stuff
since you had gently answered that is doable via ODIN, so what about the ops file should i leave it as he is.
sorry to bother you mate, and thanks again

YOu can use the regular way of flashing it or just electing out one part in the tass and flash it.
Now everyone will be wary of it because i made a mistake.. .it's not really a problem, you just comment out the line you won't use. i'll bet my left ball on that.
That said, i've experienced a lot lately, so bear with me if i'm slow but expect everything exactly correct.

It will not wipe any data but it is recommended to do a nandroid backup just in case something goes wrong.. Check About Phone, Baseband Version to see the changes..

hi,
lately i have been experimenting with my velocity, been trying to find some good roms, no such luck accept for a couple,
the on that is 98% working is the Elagancia rom,
the 2% not working is the wifi and sometimes bluetooth, as we all know this problem is because there is no MAC address assigned, apparently this is because the kernel version has been flashed to many times,
anyway other roms like dark raider, holics and some others have error boxes pop up on the screen nearly every second, and yep, this is very annoying,
So, can anyone help me out with this wifi problem?
Cheers,

Normally, when wifi/bluetooth, etc. Don't work, it is cause you don't flash boot.img correctly.
Command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
If your boot.img is named differently then adjust the last part of the command

Normally, when wifi/bluetooth, etc. Don't work, it is cause you don't flash boot.img correctly.
Command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
If your boot.img is named differently then adjust the last part of the command

Yep, i know...
With each new rom I fastboot flash the proper boot. img inside the zip rom file but with no success .. anyway this method is used if you are S-ON, now I'm S-OFF.
Im installing CM11 again now, that it seems like it has own kernel..
I would like to know where are the configuration files in the linux/kernel so i can find where/what driver is looking for.. im googling but couldn't find anything yet.

I really think you have a hardware problem at this point

It could be possible, but how to be sure about it..
that is why I'm searching for TERM commands to find that..
Hello all. I'm sorta new here.
I have rooted my XPERIA TL (LT30at) before, and flashed the XperimenT ROM for my first rom. I then went back to stock using Spectre51's AT&T FTF.
I'm now back to rooting it, rooted it just fine using Flashtool, but upon flashing any ROM I have lost WiFi and it just flat out doesn't work. Can anyone point me in the direction of what I can do?

flash the wifi modules.
You can find them in doomlords kernel thread.

Thanks very much for responding. Every time I try to flash the zip, I end up with a red triangle with an exclamation point on the Android, text saying Error in [file name], (Status 0) installation aborted.
...what's going on
EDIT: Nevermind...I was using something made for the PLAY. Now I find the actual thread you were referring to and now I can't find any standalone zip's to flash because the only thing there is the kernel itself (to flash). I don't believe DoomKernel is able to be flashed with the TL, so I don't think that's something I need to flash just to get the WiFi modules...or is it?
I really appreciate your patience.

Look inside the .zip, I think the wifi modules are in there.
Hi, I noticed that the video playback doesn't always work. For example if I try to play Facebook videos I get an error, same with YouTube. Sometimes even the video recording doesn't work! I tried to wipe System/Data/Cache/Internal Storage and re-install the firmware.
I'm now on 23.1.A.1.28 debloated by @moly82 .
I've Unlocked Bootloader.
Can someone help me? Thank you.

The new Video Update is kind of buggy atm, you can always downgrade by downloading the APK online and assuming you guys have Root access you can push it to system/priv-app/ and give rw-r-r permissions. Or you could uninstall the update in Settings>Apps therefore restoring the App to its factory version
New update doesn't change anything but name so downgrading won't hurt unless you prefer the name "Video" instead of "Movies"
I have the exact same problem gifs on relay for reddit also stop playing, a reboot fixes it temporarily but it always comes back, would love to know a permenant solution. Latest rooted stock.

Thank you for the answer! I've installed a debloated version of the firmware. So I can't see Video app listed in the menu. Which is the exact name I should see in Setting->Apps?
Did this work and if so, what version did you use? Thanks.

I tried to push a couple of old versions to the system but after a couple of hours or a day later the problem came back. Does anyone have an idea what the culprit could be. Kernel maybe? Tried flashing other roms to no avail. Now I'm on 5.1.1 stock slim version. I have an unlocked bootloader btw without drm keys. (which I lost because i'm the stupid noob who didn't check his backup...)Anyone ideas?

Have you tried to restore to stock kernel? I'm on .546 at this moment and I've had no issues with video playback.

As far as is know the problem started with the stock kernel. I then flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/d5803-23-2-1-62-slim-t3127115 and the Advanced kernel. Anyway, i will flash the stock kernel just to be sure. If that doesn't change anything can i try to restore it with Sony Companion and start over?

I would recommend that, but if it doesn't fix your issue I'm not sure what else can be done.

I figured that much.. It's a weird problem. It got me thinking it maybe hardware related. I will try the kernel end the restore and if it doesn't work i just have to live with it. Thank you very much for the help.
Sorry to revive this older thread, but did you find a solution to the issue? I am experiencing the very same problem on my Z2 phone with stock ROM + unlocked bootloader and root. I was suspecting a HW issue (maybe combined with unlocked BL), but there were few other users with same issue. I am going to place an order for Z3 compact and would hate to face the annoying "camera not available" or "video can't be played" messages again.
Hello, i just bought XZ1C and i can't update it due to a common error. In flashtool i get 15/001/2018 19:01:49 - ERROR - No flash script found. Flash script is mandatory. I found out that there is a file that needs to be renamed in C:\Users\username\.flashTool\a folder i dont have\ but all i have is .flashTool folder and a file in it called config.properties. Newflasher on the other hand gives an error which i can't remeber exactly. Already tried reinstalling flashtool. Do have an idea what's going on? I'm a Windows 10 64bit user.
I used Newflasher, so I'll talk about that.
I have Win10 64bit and all went smoothly.
Just be sure to have the right drivers (I dowloaded them via Newflasher, installed them and everything worked fine).

Well, i'm in two minds right now because i just read that if you flash a persist.sin file (witch seems to be a part of ftf file) with Newflasher you loose Attest Key which seems to be very important.

You can ignore persist.sin by deleting "persist_X-FLASH-ALL-42E5.sin" (you have to unpack ftf in order to be able to do that), as explained in the thread "[XZ1c/XZ1/XZp] temp root exploit to backup drm keys implemented" (can't post links).
And, on another note, I don't have Attest Key due to a change of configuration I did a while ago (I didn't know about persist.sin) and it doesn't cause me any problem at all!

You're welcome!
for anyone else seeing this thread and wanting to use flashtool, to get around this error you just need to:
- make sure you're using the latest flashtool, it was updated semi-recently to work for G8441
- modify the script file name in your flashtool device directory from 47.1.fsc to 47.2.fsc.
