Just in case somebody desperately seeking for a solution on the following:
I decided to change MAC address of my iPad Mini Retina (7.0.4) for testing purposes.
There is a hint on few forums to go to Terminal and issue the command:
nvram wifiaddr="00:00:00:00:00:00" (your new MAC here)
Perhaps it's outdated because after the reboot you'll get inactive wifi and prompt to restore.
I saw other guys asking for help after this procedure.
Some said even a full restore (and losing your jailbreak) didn't work. Uhh..
So here it goes, provided you had OpenSSH installed before you "bricked" the wifi chip.
====
0. Have your iDevice connected via USB
1. Download all 3 files from
https://github.com/rcg4u/iphonessh/tree/master/python-client
2. Run it from OSX console
python tcprelay.py -t 22:2222 &
3. Connect via ssh
ssh -l root 127.0.0.1 -p 2222
4. Bingo, by now you should be in root shell.
5. List the interfaces.. And if you're still reading this, you've forgotten to put down your original MAC...
ifconfig
6. You'll see only "en1" interface up... It's bluetooth. Subtract 2 from the last byte - this is your wifi MAC. Finally, write it back and reboot.
nvram wifiaddr="....your original mac..."
Worked for me, hope it'll help someone.
