english please

it works. thank you

[sparkolas]

it works. thank you

If the above exercise fails try this:

Change the PERMISSIONS to READ ONLY.

After many attempts where the MAC address would change after WIFI start & the NVRAM error reappearing the simple detail I missed was changing the permissions to Read Only.

BTW: Changing the permissions is simple when after you edit the WIFI File as described above using your Hex Editor of choice on your PC, save the file (allow over-write), RIGHT CLICK - select PROPERTIES - look at the bottom of the properties window - select the READ ONLY box & hit APPLY.

As demonstrated above - Copy the edited WIFI file to your SD card or to your phone's internal memory (where you can find it) and replace the WIFI file in the APRDEB  Folder as shown above.
