Hi,
Can someone please help me in changing the Wifi Mac address on my Galaxy S2. It is running 4.0.3 and I am rooted. I have the latest version of busybox installed. I tried to follow the post here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385577
but this does not help. When I do a
Code:
busybox iplink show eth0
it gives me the new mac address but I cannot connect with this to the router. Also in Settings -> Wifi -> Advanced still the old (original) mac address is shown ?
Please help...
Spoofing MAC addresses is borderline dodginess/and the legality of doing same is questionable at best. Every "How do I spoof MAC address ?" thread I've seen in the 8 mths I've been here has been closed in short order.

For the reasons mentioned above, this thread is closed.

Hi all
i'm working on a linux box which have a bluetooth dongle, and i want to make an ip link between linux and an android phone (Galaxy S2)
my link is ok , but i can't set the IP adress on the android side, the only thing i can do is set it with a terminal (ifconfig bnep0 10.0.0.2) and then the link is ok.
My question : is there any way to set this ip adress with an apps or other ?
i can't say to the user root your phone and open a terminal ....
thank in advance

Your post doesn't indicate if you are still able to access a WiFi network. If you can, do so on a network that you can enter the router and see what is listed for the Mac under the "attached devices" tab.
Once you have that info, I think I remember seeing a post RE editing Mac adds somewhere.

1. the ip address of your smartphone is given by your locale oder mobile network, depending on what you are running!
2. your mac address if deleted is hard to recover, so most new devices don't have them hard coded or hardware based, biut in the rom of your mobile chipset.. so try a mac address changer from the play store maybe, if you have root

Hi
I've got one problem. I was trying to change my MAC address on Nexus 9 with CM 12. That operation was successful.
I changed it by commands
Code:
su
ip link set wlan0 ADDRESS 00:00:00:00:00:00
And I also tried app "MAC Spoofer" . Both successful. But after changing MAC address I can't connect to WiFi. There is a problem with authentication. So I was looking for a solution on XDA. I found it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51072203&postcount=214 but I don't understand it. Could anyone tell me what should I do step by step?

I have the same problem. Searched quite a while on the internet still no luck, I'm on 12 5.1.1 . galaxy grand 2...
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!
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.
