How can I change mac address on SGSII with root?
I tried something, but it didn't work.
My S2 device lost wifi MAC address. So it could not connect to wifi network. I think some guys met this problem too.
Now I check the etc/wifi and find there's wifi.conf, wpa_supplicant.conf.
But I do not know how to use the conf to restore MAC address.
Anyone can help?
Thanks
Hey guys I tried all the apps in google play ( mac address ghost,mac spoofer and mac changer) to no avail. I get the same problem when I spoof the mac address where wifi wont recognize the password. Anybody have a solution for this? I am running stock rom and am rooted with busybox and supersu and quick terminal installed. A permanent or temporary solution would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!
Anybody knows where I could find the mac address in root explorer? Where is it stored? Thanks guys.
EDIT: I opened root explorer went into efs/wifi and changed the mac address on each file with text editor. The result is different mac address on my network but also shows my old mac address, so now when I connect to my network it shows 2 connections. I blocked my old mac address on my router settings but im still able to connect. Anybody experimenting with this let me know your results.

Thanks, I changed it from efs with text editor and it worked wonderfully.
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!
