[TIP] Fix your MAC address across firmware installs

[lfom]

It was tested with my CFW (GingerLF) but it should work with any CFW for Kyros 7024/8024/1024, like steev's AllDro2 CFW.

1. On your tablet, copy the file /system/wifi/softmac to /sdcard (internal microSD user space) or /extsd (external microSD) using a file manager or adb.
2. Rename it to mac.txt
3. Place mac.txt on the same microSD you use to install the new firmware in the root directory ("/"), the same place where you may see u-boot.bin or utscript

If you have adb, you can do use this command to get mac.txt file on your computer:

adb pull /system/wifi/softmac mac.txt

This will preserve your MAC address of your WiFi interface when installing a new firmware.

It's not the subject of this thread. Try a factory reset or "internal SD unit", look for more info in the appropriate thread or forum related to your tablet brand and model.

what type of tablet do you have? the Kyros all have a reset but you can hold the power button down for 20 seconds and it will shut off.
