As simple as the title says, how do I spoof or adjust the mac address without rooting the device. I have a data usage limit per address on the WiFi connection I use and that's just not on.
Ive seen this thread regarding z z2 z3 ect (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/guide-spoof-change-xperia-mac-address-t2885186)
But it dosn't mention z5s nor has anyone confirmed this won't ruin my phone.
Any advice appreciated

Greetings to you all !
Recently i bought an Acer Iconia A1-810 (wich i rooted second two) and a Android Mini-PC QuadCore S400 (Cozyswan). The reason i bought the MiniPC is that i need some small computer as a web-server in my car to provide me two things:
- offline large and detailed maps (very usefull when offroading)
- media server when camping
Now...the MINI-PC must be a server, with an fixed IP address (192.168.1.200 let's say). It also must be some kind of on wi-fi hotspot, for the multimedia server purpose, but has to keep same fixed IP (as gateway) - but i cannot manage to configure it. Also, cannot find an web-server that has "auto-start" feature.
Please note that when offroad, i dont have any kind of internet connection.
So....how can i make that MiniPC to serve those purposes:
a. file server, wich must have "auto-start" feature with a static IP address ?
b. to behave like an wi-fi router
c. if it is possible to manually assign an IP address to the MiniPC, is there any software that can provide me some sort of "remote desktop connection" to the MiniPC ??
Sorry for my poor English and thank you for your input

Hi all!
I'm currently upgrading my home network router from a windows server to a OpenWRT one.
I've set DHCP leases from range 192.168.128.50 - 192.168.128.150 and set a static IP for my phone to 192.168.128.20
My phone is a Galaxy S3 LTE (I9305) with the stock android 4.1.2 installed and is rooted.
My OpenWRT router is giving me some problems with android/iOS phones, as a result, the only way to be able to use my wifi is to set a static IP in to my mobile. Which I prefer not to (because I want everybody, who I give my password to, to be able to go online without further setting changes.)
From what I'm able to see with LanDroid, the only thing that changes is a little thing in the 'router' part of my connection. As visible in the attached image(s).
Does anybody know WHY I have to set the static IP into my telephone? I've heard about the DNS option 121 & on my windows server I had to set option 119...,
Feel free to ask more information if I ain't clear enough.
Anybody, please?? :s
Still having the same problem and I really would love to get some help from you guys...!
fixed it myself
Hi all,... thanks for your support.....,
I've noticed my broadcast address was wrong. I've also installed raspbian instead of openwrt.
Then I followed this tutorial: http://imranasghar.blogspot.nl/2009/09/how-to-make-ubuntudebian-as-router.html ,, made some small ajustments. And it worked!
Hi, We have a WiFi system that can report on how many people are connected and if they have created an account it associates the Mac to a name and will display the account name rather the device MAC.
What we want to do if use this to welcome people to our offices via digital signage but we need to know there MAC address first. We can do this via our WiFi network, when the WiFi see's a device we collect its MAC ( they don't need to connect ) If we have pre-associated the mac with a name we can display a welcome message saying "Welcome William Hill, your meeting is upstairs in room 1". That part is relatively simple for us.
What we need is a easy way that visitors can give us there MAC address of there phone before attending our building.
We are thinking of a registration form that has a field for the MAC, only problem is finding the MAC on a mobile is not that straight forward... especially to thw non technical.
Does anyone know of a way we could automate this by maybe scanning a QR / bar code. or does anyone has an alternative simple / automated way of collecting the mac of a mobile...
Any suggestions would be appreciated...
Thanks

Well to get your WiFi MAC address all you need to do is go into Settings > About phone > Status. If that's too much for your users then the only way I can think of solving this is to create an app that your users download which gets their MAC address automatically (using the WifiManager class in the Android SDK)
I have two phones ZUK Z2 Pro and HTC ONE M7, Z2 pro is running RR 7.1.1 and M7 lineageos 7.1.1. Both devices are rooted. I use the software or the command ip link to change MAC address, both devices can be changed, but after it Z2 pro cannot connect to any WiFi while M7 does.
When change Z2 pro's MAC back to original, turn on/off airplane mode and the wifi works again.
I have tried to reinstall the OS with others such as AICP, but it didn't work.
Maybe it is because of some hardware limit? Any hope
Z2 Pro is with Qualcomm Snapdragon 820
Be a use like the imei it is hard-coded. Not to mention changing the Mac is illegal in many places which means you won't find any help here.
I'm trying to get my Moto Z2 connected by IPSec to my LAN. Part of that is I want to have it always get a known IP address.
Well the mechanism that most DHCP servers use is setting the MAC to assign a known IP. But checking the logs I find that the Z2 changes MAC every time I establish a new VPN connexion! WTH?
I mean, normally I would see this as a benefit, but I need to be able to pin down what is what so I can give it its rightful IP address, so I can find it later.
When I check interfaces with ipconfig, there are about a dozen of them, and the one getting the VPN IP is tun0.
Nogat 7.1.1, rooted. Anyone know what's going on here?
No one's getting random MACs...
