As most of you know im not a great lover of this from day 1, but this has been tried and tested and its great, so i have made a wee tut up on how to do it right.
just to clarfie this a little more:
for the modem to read from the chip, pin 11 needs to be "hight" 3.3v.
but for the chip to be written to (take firmware update), pin 11 is "low" 0v.
so keeping 3.3v on pin11 disables writting to the chip eg:taking new firware update!
so to change the mac you may need to disconnect 3.3v from chip pin 11 (3.3v header may be easier if that point is used).remember to reconnect before testing your new mac in stream.
the pin (11) needs to be lifted up so its not connecting to the pad below it or a track cut to fully enable this mod, see this updated pic attached.but do this at your own risk!
so remember you either lift up pin 11 then solder your wire to it
OR solder your wire to chip pin 11 in situ then cut the track...not both, do which ever you think is easier!
its not all of my work, creds go to thos who worked on it.
sorry for the confusion, i hope its a little easier to understand now
theres a pic here to let you see where to cut the track, i have also posted this in the downloads!
Maybe make this a sticky mods???
