My friend and I have been using it on our 7.1.1 Nexus 5Xs without any problems. Have you ran any other MAC changing tools before mine? There's a big chance they messed something up.

Check this file: /persist/wlan_mac.bin Upload its contents here but make sure to mask/hide your MAC address due to privacy reasons.

Good luck!

Nope, and I couldn't event found the file, after searching I found this article and it helps: https://chromloop.com/2016/08/how-to-fix-wifi-problem-updating-android-7-0-nougat/

Thanks

This is exactly what I was about to suggest. Did you manage to re-write your MAC addresses?

huygn commented 7 years ago

Nope I edit the file using my old MAC address I got when the phone was on 6

Does nMAC work for you after that? If not, you should create the file: /persist/wlan_mac.bin. Its content should be:

Intf0MacAddress=XXXXXXXXXXXX Intf1MacAddress=00AA00BB00C2 Intf2MacAddress=00AA00BB00C3 Intf3MacAddress=00AA00BB00C4

Replace the X's with a MAC address. Set the file permissions to: 660 (-rw-rw----) Reboot.

nMAC should work afterwards. I don't know about the other file mentioned in the article, /etc/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/wlan_mac.bin, as it's empty for me.
