Unable to change Mac address with ASrock Mactool

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am getting the invalid mac address error but I cannot seem to assign a mac address as every time I receive this error - 

Has anyone encountered this before? The error code is status=1 but I cannot seem to find any documentation on what is going on.

The only thing I could find remotely close is this ftp://ftp.tyan.com/Broadcom/LAN/BCM57XX/v7.6.2/DOS/UserDiag/b57diag.pdf on page 111 it mentions "/* ERR_IND_REG_ERR 1 */ "Got 0x%08X @ 0x%08X. Expected 0x%08X"," however, I have no idea what any of this means.

I have also tried using another tool such as TMAC but I am wanting to change the mac address not just spoof it as I am getting the error.

	Did you see this: https://forums.tweaktown.com/asrock/50936-mac-address-invalid-cmos-flash.html after reading it all, take a second look at post #9 on that page. You might be able to use that info.

	First, you shouldn't have even dinked with searching the net for a resolution. Did you receive the flashing file you are using now directly as a result of contacting ASRock? If not, stop now and contact them. This phone # to ASRock is Pacific Time, CA, so 3hrs diff from you. Normal business hours. 1-909-590-8308 Had you, as is customary when seeking help, listed what motherboard your are attempting this on I could have helped you tonight.
