Would it be possible to change WiFi mac address?. Phone is rooted, unlocked, with doomkernel and 2.3.4 rom.
Why would you want that?
As per my understanding many wifi access points or hotspots/hotzones control access by registering mac addresses. May be this is the reason for changing (faking) mac adress.
I am still looking for a way to change the mac address of my NEO...
I found something like:
busybox iplink set wlan0 00:00:00:00:00:00
or
busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:00
however these commands do not work on Neo(yes it's rooted)
I looked for a file containing the address to change it - i only found the bluetooth one.
So, is there any way to change the mac address of the Xperia Neo?
Thanks!

Hello friends,
I encountered today a nice method to spoof MAC address on a rooted device. It has to have Busybox installed as well.
They claim typing this code in a terminal will change my MAC address:
Code:
busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA
eth0 is my network adapter I guess. AA:AA is the MAC address that I want to be spoofed to (it will be seen as my MAC).
You must be a root user to execute that.
Now I have some questions. I hope you will be able to answer them all (if you can answer on less I would still appreciate that):
1. I can see at Settings>About device>Status, a thing called "WiFi MAC address". Is this what will be affected after executing of the command they provided me?
2. Is the commend legit? If so, how can I return to my original MAC address? Do I have to change it manually again or a reboot will fix it all?
3. Does my device uses this MAC address only when I am using a WiFi? Or it uses that same address for 4Gs?
Thanks a lot for whoever helps!
Hi all. I recently goofed up my BLU Studio Energy that I use as my daily PMP. I didn't want to go through the hassle of flashing the stock KK rom from BLU and OTA'ing to their last release of LP (5.0.2) so I downloaded the Gionee M3 0202 T8425 build and flashed that. After doing so I had no IMEI information and the MAC was lost as well...
I fixed the IMEI issue using the MTK Engineering Mode app but for the MAC address issue it does nothing, the various Terminal based solutions online (with or without root/Busybox) do nothing and a few other apps for fixing your MAC don't change the MAC even if they say they successfully did so... The only app that has been successful at fixing the MAC address is Banana Studio's "Change My MAC - Spoof Wifi MAC" but this is only temporary, though, I can set a profile to load my MAC address when the device is booted.
Apps I've tried:
AMC - Advanced Mac Changer
ChameleMAC
Change My MAC - Spoof Wifi MAC
MTK Engineering Mode
Wifi Mac Changer
Terminal commands tried:
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY --> results in "error: SIOCSIFADDR (Invalid argument)"
ip link set wlan0 XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY --> results in "Error: either "dev" is duplicate, or 'XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY' is a garbage."
busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY --> results in "CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: cannot locate symbol 'stpcpy' referenced by 'busybox"
If you happen to know of a silver bullet could you please let me know. Thanks in advance!
Some of my Android 9 and 10 devices do not come with "Randomize WiFi MAC Address" feature, but they do allow MAC address spoofing with "ifconfig wlan0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" and it works. The problem is that spoofed MAC address resets back to original one after device reboot. There are some MAC-spoofing apps, but they don't address the issue of MAC addresses resetting back to natives one after device reboot. There doesn't appear to be a Magisk module for this purpose either.
Can someone can advice me on how to create a simple script that forces a specific wlan0 MAC address during device boot? It is important for the MAC address to be spoofed before any wlan0 connections occur. Therefore, it can't be one of those scripts that execute commands after the device is already booted because by then the device can connect to a WiFi network with native, non-spoofed MAC address.
I would actually prefer if someone could write the script for me or just create a Magisk module. I am very new to how Linux works.
