This guide will explain how to fix WiFi NVRAM WARNING: ERR 0x10 on a Mediatek Android device. This error usually comes up after wiping the NVRAM partition.

Steps to fix WiFi NVRAM WARNING: ERR 0x10


Follow the steps below to resolve the WiFi 0x10 NVRAM error


Method 1: Miracle Box (newer MTK chipsets)


Follow the Miracle Box WiFi NVRAM 0x10 fix

Method 2: APRDEB edit (older MTK chipsets)


Requirements

See the video tutorial below or @ http://youtu.be/l5WNO7i110M

  1. Switch on the WiFi on your phone.

  2. Go to settings > about and write out your phone's Wi-Fi MAC Address displayed there. It should look like xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

  3. Switch off the WiFi on your phone

  4. Launch ROM toolbox lite on your phone and select root browser

  5. Navigate to data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB and copy the file named 'WIFI' from there to the SD Card of your phone's SD card

  6. Send the WIFI file to the desktop on your PC

  7. Launch HxD-Hexeditor on your PC and click on OPEN or Ctrl+O then select the WIFI file you just sent from your phone

  8. Go to the first row in the opened WIFI file then go to column no. 04

  9. Insert the value of your actual MAC Address (the one you copied @ step 2) two by two from column 04 to 09 (Ensure that none of the value is ZERO) example: if your MAC address is 00:08:62:92:ee:fa then you'll fill it as:

    04 05 06 07 08 09
    00 08 62 92 ee fa

  10. SAVE this change

  11. Close Hexeditor and copy the newly edited WIFI file from your PC to the SD card of your phone (ensure to delete the older WIFI file from SD Card before copying this file).

  12. Launch root browser in ROM toolbox lite on your phone and move this file from SD card root to File system root/data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB

  13. Long press the WIFI file then set permission to rwrw (tick first two boxes on row 1 and 2)

  14. Turn on your wifi then turn it off again

  15. Your phone's WiFi NVRAM Error should have been resolved. If this issue persists, simply copy the WIFI file from a friend's phone of the same type then repeat the above steps.

  16. Download a sample WIFI file in the attachment below (unzip content after download)

Important Notice
The easiest fix is to restore the NVRAM backup from a working phone of the same model

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.
