Change Mac Address on Nougat? (surnia) - E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

None of the Mac Address Changing/Spoofing apps on Google Play or XDA work anymore (on the more recent Nougat builds). I noticed that as the Dev's update that source revision stuff (r22?) they start to have this issue so I'm guessing whatever the Mac Changer apps were programmed to change is somewhere different.
I've spent a few hours looking into the issue without success so I was hoping some kind hearted person might help me out with a few suggestions as to how we could directly alter the file and change the Mac Address. Thank you

[Q] change/spoof mac address

hi... i've been looking for a way to spoof my s2's mac address... i have seen ways to do this via terminal or editing a file... unfortunately, im not good at this... i saw this application ChangeMac v0.9 (http://code.google.com/p/diewland-quick-code/downloads/detail?name=ChangeMac.v.0.9.apk)... having problems making it work... can someone help? thanks!
This is not the site to ask about spoofing a MAC address. Mods will close this thread when Europe/Eastern US wakes up later. Just sayin.

Bit of a grey area to be honest....it's not like changing your IMEI or something like that....
I have wiped my WiFi MAC Address before had to add it back into the NV_data.bin myself.

[Q] MAC address changed in Sense 4.x ROMs (Nightmare, BulletProof, ViperAmaze)

I happen to have two HTC Amaze phones: one T-mobile and one international version. Before I did the bootloader unlock, s-off, superCID, and root, I recorded their MAC addresses. I have since flashed and tried Nightmare 1.6, BulletProof 2.0, and ViperAmaze 1.6.3, and found out the following:
1. the original MAC address was changed after flashing those Sense 4.x based ROMs.
2. and both phones have the same MAC address 00:d2:8b:43:9f:fd
3. if I go back to a Sense 3.6 ROM like Energy, the original MAC address returns
For those of you who are running one of the above Sense 4.x based ROMs on your Amaze, can you please check and see if you have the same MAC address of 00:d2:8b:43:9f:fd?
This has been an issue when both phones are connected to the same WiFi network. I tried but all I found were solutions to change the MAC address temporarily until the next reboot. Is there a way to change the MAC address permanently? I just want my phones to have their original MAC address back while running those Sense 4.x based ROMs.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts and suggestions.

Thanks for checking and confirming. It troubles me as I thought MAC addresses are hard-coded and should stay the same. How can a ROM change the MAC address of a phone to have the same one.
I also have Sensation XE's running Sense 4.x ROMs like Elegancia and ViperS but these ROMs leave the MAC addresses untouched.

Check your build.prop, I've been doing a lot of optimizing on the Viper Amaze rom's build.prop. It's possible that they changed where and or how the software retrieves this information.
There's a few apps on the market that can tell you the tru mac address. I'm on viper and my wifi mac says 00:d2:8b:43:9f:fd

Hi Chevy, it's good to hear from you. I was hoping to post my MAC question to your ViperAmaze thread but as you can see I am still working on my posts to have enough before I can post to your development thread.
I have tried most Sense 4.x ROMs for the Amaze including Nightmare and BulletProof, and yours (ViperAmaze) is the current one I flashed. All these ROMs assigned the same MAC address to my phones. My theory was that anyone who runs those ROMs on their Amaze would end up with the same MAC address 00:d2:8b:43:9f:fd.
I recorded the actual MAC addresses of my two Amaze phones when they were still running stock ROMs. I have gone through my build.prop but could not tell where I should be looking. I hope there is a way to bring the actual MAC back under the Sense 4.x ROMs.
By the way, thanks for your time and effort keeping the development going for the Amaze by bring us the ViperAmaze.
I have the same mac address too. Anyway to change it back? Running vipearamaze 1.64

I would like to get the original phone MAC address back too but haven't found a way (except when using Sense 3.6 based ROMs). I will post to the ViperAmaze thread to see if the developers can figure out a way to correctly retrieve the MAC address.
This is strange. I have the exact same Mac address but I'm on the dark glass 0.3 rom.
A kernel issue maybe? But the strange thing is that the dark glass 0.3 ROM uses the CM10 kernel, which is completely different to the nightmare kernel that the sense 4 ROMS use. Hmmm
Mine mac address also changed when i flashed Energy rom with faux kernel.
Strange
Has anybody found an easy way to restore the original Mac Address. I already know what the original address was, I would just like to have an easy way to change it.
Thanks

New Touch user comments and questions.

I just got my Meizu MX4 and find several things which irritate me, was wondering if I can make suggestions for updates somewhere? Here are a few examples:
How do I get temp in C, with Display Language US English?
NearBy took an entire day to finally figure out where I live, although location is turned on and I tried to show it where I am.
Still new, more to follow if this is the place.

As far as I know there is a bug report for this and the developers are working on it. Let's see if the next update fixes the issue.
Thank you for the response Nikwen,
The weather app is automatically the Weather Channel, the only setting possible is location on or off. I had expected it to be there.
I'll keep my eye open for the fix to my other comment and also for additional things to talk about. I'm essentially very satisfied with the user experience and am certain that once apps and scopes begin showing up in numbers Ubuntu will be a viable alternative to the others on the market.
I assume I can continue to bring up problems I find here.
Thanks again
O
Found the next thing, although it's probably known. In camera I can't zoom. The zoom - + show, but nothing happens.
So, I found that I can change the weather app to celsius, but it doesn't work in the weather channel and it's what's used in NearBy with F.
I also found that the Amazon app goes automatically to Amazon.co.uk, but I live in Germany, I want .de, but how?
Next, I browsed Google.com, it sent me to Google.de, what else? I didn't want that, but it's impossible to get to complete English. The Google page is English, but when I touch settings, I land in a German page.
Those are my newest grumps, I'll keep looking.
TY for listening!

WiFi hotspot would also be nice, though I understand the OS is new and time will bring new features.

It should be out in September or maybe later this month if we're lucky !
TY antole, that's welcome info. This morning I got an update, since then I get no notifications from gmail. Is that normal or do I need to make a setting? Another thing, Near By has disappeared, so I no longer see F not certain if that's good or bad atm.
I'm just enjoying playing with my new toy and thank all devs for the hard work amnd for putting up with my problems.
O
I haven't even tried the Gmail app sorry
My Gmail account is configured with Dekko
I didn't get any update this morning, was the update for the Gmail app ?
I've been running on OTA-5 for approximately two weeks now and I've had no issue with The Weather Channel displaying temperature in C but I live in France so that seems normal
My NearBy scope hasn't gone anywhere either ;p

The update was for Nexus devices only as the messaging issue they fixed didn't appear on other devices.
Back with more! Sorry to say I was overwelmed by the amount of work needed on OT and didn't want to sound like I was putting it down, so I stopped writing. Most are small, wish I could this or that. I found one today though which I had to ask about.
I tried to upload files to my P today, win7 couldn't do it so I tried Ubuntu desktop, 14.04 which couldn't mount my phone. Uh oh, what now? I can't find a setting anywhere which helps. Any advice would be appreciated.
Oh and the update I assume was somethsomething to get my new phone up to the current version. I must have removed Near By by accident, I have it back now, still in F. Must be the language, custom I live in germany but us us english.
Ty for the help!
O
If you cannot mount your phone, you can always enable ssh and use sftp to transfer files. Usual mounting should work though.
(If it still doesn't, you could try installing ADB on your computer. It might help.)
Thanks for your help Nik,
I figured it out, I needed to get into Developer Mode in order to get USB to work. Now I'm in, but have the next problem. I can only see the Home directories, but I want to download the files in the .local/share but I have no idea how to get there. On my MX4 I've gotten to the folder I want using File Manager, but how do I get there from my PC? Or more specifically, how do I download the files stored there?
O
Yeah, hotspot is here! Haven't had time to test it yet, but I love to watch UT develop.
Still hoping for a tip on getting to my files from a PC. I understand it's a kinda noobish question, but until now I've only fixed problems as they arrise in Ubuntu, haven't had time for it. Now I've started and don't know where to search for help.
And the potshot works great. Saw Cantata Nil, looks interesting, but having a problem finding servers, or do I have to set up my own server?
Thanx
O
Stupid auto correct, I meant hotspot and Nik.
I've finally found AskUbuntu, so I'm working on finding my own answers.

[Xposed] Hijack Suite. Hack like a Pro!

<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>>
** Release 4.0 Notes **
- Multiple bug fixes.
- Works fine on Nougat.
- UI improvements.
** Release 4.0 Notes **
<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>>
It is an xposed module capable of spoofing some of the identities of an Android device.
Customise the identities to your own choices!
Download Free version : http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.intplus.freehijack
Download Premium version : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intplus.hijackid
https://youtu.be/8k9OgoB0Ay8
Below are the supported identities :
- Android Id
- Serial Number
- IMEI
- MAC address
- Device build number
- Kernel version string
Another interesting option available is, ability to randomize the identity for different processes.
It just hijacks the identities on the fly. Hence the original valules are not modified.
Once the app is disabled, get back all the original ids.
How to use!
You need to have an android device which is rooted and has Xposed framework installed.
Open Hijack Suite and enter custom values for the identities.
Press save.
Goto Xposed installer app.
Enable 'Hijack suite'
Reboot the device.
View the customized values being replaced at places where they are tried to fetch.(Check using different apps.)
Observe the behaviour of the app under test by changing the id values.
Liked my work ?
Awesome! Hit the like button available in the below link.

Disclaimer
Please try the app only if you can understand the above description.
It is built for Android application security testers. (pentesting)
Do not use the app for any illegal purpose.
Use the app at your own risk.
Thanks to Kuberappa Pujar for Randomisation support.
Thanks to rovo89 for developing the wonderful XPOSED framework.

Hey man, great idea!
Would it be possible to also spoof the kernel version string?

Hi,
Glad you liked it.
I think it should be possible too. Let me learn a little bit on that...

Hi Antieco,
Checked these 2 apps. They are wonderful apps for personal privacy management.
I just imagined Hijack Suite as a security testing tool and developed it.
Concentrated on spoofing the device identities to apps instead of preventing access to them.
Yes, it can be treated like xprivacy or PMP.
But when you approach mine as a privacy tool, I think xprivacy and PMP are doing much better.
Also they have a lot of other features.

Does the app makes a backup from original IMEI, MAC address, Device build number, and is it restorable.
Some reports from other similar apps that they couldnt restore default data

It sounds like a good feature, I should add.
As of now, you can revert back to original identities by disabling this module within xposed installer app.
Note : You will need a reboot once, after the module is disabled.
I could have really used this module last year for a little project I did. I wound up decompling an APK to do what I wanted. I'd suggest adding phone number as another ID value. Would be very valuable in my opinion.

A short question:
When you go to Turkey and use a Turkish SIM card, your phone will be blocked after 6 or 7 weeks. They do that so that you can't import phones.
Only way to use it again is to activate the IMEI somewhere, but you need a Turkish passport and pay money to do so.
Since I'm often going to Turkey I always have to search for other smartphone (taking one from my family or friends).
May it be possible that they can't block the phone when using the app? Or is it only useful for installed apps?
I have a very old Nokia phone which is active, I may be able to use the IMEI of it.
bought pro version, didn't change anything on my phone n910c with stock ROM Android M and H Vitamin Kernel

Hi,
It will spoof the IMEI number to other apps only or the programs that take OS help to get the identity.
Network providers will be able to collect original number using their own channel.

Google Family Link on Kenzo

Hi!
Has anyone managed to get Family Link working on a Redmi Note 3 Pro?
I've tried with stock global fasboot rom's (stable and developer) and get a error after login with child's account, that mentions minimum requirements of android version and Google Play Services.
Also tried several customs rom's (Nougat, Oreo and Pie), with the same result...
I know Family Link works on custom rom's, because I had it on my Moto G 2014 (Titan), with Lineage 14.1.
Best regards.
Anyone?
I've search troughtout the Internet, still could'nt figure it out...

Bypassing Family Link may be somewhat easy, doing it without me finding out it's a little bit trickier...
But my question isn't about the advantages or disadvantages of parental control in smartphones.
I tried also setting a family link child account in pocophone, and still get the message with the requirements, although the phone is running android O.
Maybe it's Xiaomi incompatibility?

Are u sure all ur kids phone have android oreo.
Go to google product forums and search keywords family link doesnt work. May be u will find some answers.
I already tried with different roms M N O. Fresh install and latest gapps.
Always get the message - this device needs newer software - when adding child account.
Also did login with my account, updated apps in playstore, removed my account and add child account. Same result.
Searched the web, found 2 or 3 similar cases, without solution...

How google family link is unique ? Is there any alternative app ?
Family link it's very complete in features, but one of the main reasons I want to use it is because of my daughter's Google account, that already as lot's of data, photos, messages, contacts...

I think u cant use it if ur kid is 13 and above. Also Now they have split family link into 2 apps For parents and children.
Also check if ur phone and kids phone shouldnt be rooted. May be Selinux for all phones should be enforcing and not permissive. I m Not sure if it is requirement. I m just saying.
Are u on custom rom?
Also i think strong apps likes family link should be system app and should be included in gapps package which cant be uninstalled easily. And can be removed only from recovery.
And it should not be user app. User app are easy to trick and can be easily uninstalled.
Family Link is working fine in Moto G 2014, with Lineage 14.1. Fresh install with micro gapps. On first boot, when asked for google account, I put my daughters account and it automatically installs Family Link and the process runs smoothly, as described in Google support pages.
Very different with Kenzo. It always gives the message "this device needs newer software" when adding child account. Tried with many custom roms and stock.
I can live without it, and create a new adult account for my daughter, but this problem is getting really frustrating, and it's making my ocd twitch...

So I finally got Family Link working with Kenzo.
I flashed miui global stable through miflash and relocked the bootloader, and it worked.
As mentioned, in Moto G 2014, with unlocked bootloader, family link works fine, so maybe it's xiaomi thing...
I prefer global dev (miui 10), but I'm tired of changing roms
please HELP me

Hello. Just today, I began to solve the same problem as you did some time ago. Could you please advise me how you managed to get to NOTE 3 Original ROM and lock BOOTLOADER? Any MiFlash I can't run properly on my PC. If you could advise me where you downloaded the functional MiFlash and the official ROM, I would be grateful for this valuable information. My daughter cannot use her account on this phone because of the Family Link malfunction on NOTE 3. I have a version of Windows 10 on my computer or I have a MacBook. Thank you for every answer. Markus a.k.a father with difficulties
