Hi guys.....here is the way that helped me change my mac address permanently(surviving reboots).I have tried this in Redmi 3s Prime and can confirm that this works.
Note: take a backup of the *.qcn file of your own phone using the qpst tool and have it safe , so that you can restore it if anything goes wrong messing your imei or mac or when you want your original mac address back.
Required Tools can be downloaded either in the miui forum thread(Thanks to the thread creator) mentioned in step 1 or through this GDrive link : https://drive.google.com/folderview...ldGtWNHc&resourcekey=0-tvs1q3f3cTxYIltpcgD4VQ
So lets get started.
1 ) head over to this thread [ http://en.miui.com/thread-348525-1-1.html ]
and follow all the preparation steps(steps 1-8) including installation of software and configuring the phone in diag mode.
2 )Open qpst tool and StartClient-->SoftwareDownload.
then go to Backup and take a backup
3)Open a copy of the resulting file (*.qcn) in any hex editor and search your phone's mac address as hex.
Eg. : if your mac address is 01:02:03:04:05:06 search it as 010203040506

4)You will get some search results. Now edit every search result with your desired MAC address.
5)And finally restore this edited *.qcn file and reboot your phone once complete.
And that's it. You have successfully spoofed your MAC Address. :good:

Much appreciation for this guide.
It works for me although in my case for step no.3 the diff was when searching for the stock MAC address I had to set txt string not hex. Only then the hex editor could find the proper 4 placements from the backup.
Just in case if anyone else ran into the same search issue with the hex editor.

I followed the guide http://en.miui.com/thread-348525-1-1.html but not alright : i do see "diag,adb" BUT i only have one entry under COM Ports in device manager and NOTHING appears in QPST Configuration tool. No phone or ports opened. I followed process few times & no luck. What's wrong?

Did you disable driver signature enforcement in windows before installing all the drivers??
If not Google how to disable and later install the drivers again and try. I had the same kind of problem. And this worked.
I just reboot without driver signature check & did process again : no changes.. :/

Kinda long & risky but I confirm this method works on Redmi Note 4X SD. Even so it's not that practical, means that you can't change MAC Address on fly, every time you have to find a PC to change the MAC address.
Where is the address in QCN that store Wifi-Mac-Address data?
my mac address is 02:00:00:00:00:00 i dont know my old mac address so how can i find it in this qcn file?

How to spoof WiFi mac address for Snapdragon625 (Redmi 5Plus/Redmi Note 5 [indian])? I use this method but I can not find wifi mac address inside qcn file. I try to search hex number but no digit same like my device mac address.
i highly recommend to backup as xml format (.xqcn) with this format you can open .xqcn file using notepad++ to find your mac just search using your original mac e.g. 02:00:00:00:00:00 then just search using 02 00 00 separate by space or full digit without ":", for SD625 first test using this app if you facing force reboot then use guide from this thread, highly recommend to backup original .qcn/.xqcn if you want use this guide.

qpst give an option to backup as binary (qcn) or xml format (xqcn) while qpst ask you to save the file, you can't just rename the extension

I can change wifi mac address inside xqcn file on SD425 chipset but still not find original mac address inside xqcn file on SD625 chipset. I try notpad++,HxD , Hex Editor but can not find original mac address.

well... if you backup as .xqcn notepad++ is enough no need using hxd, hex edit or etc because it is not binary format, to see your original mac it's appears on setting>about phone>status> wifi mac bla bla ..., if the mac change when you change rom it's about rom/kernel related to lineage or that custom rom you used and if you flash stock rom i'm sure it'll revert to original vendor mac, try to search using three group of your original mac on .xqcn, and if you still can't find it maybe it chipset related, but i think SD625 still family of SD425/430/435 series

Hi,
i tried to change my MAC Adress on the Galaxy s3 but none of the existing tutorials worked. The problem is i want to change the mac permanently. I already found a file in /efs/wifi/.mac.info but when i change the value and restart the phone it's set back to the old mac adress. The other tutorials are using nvram or something like that but i couldn't find that file. Do you have an idea of how to change this right?

Hi,
I have made a mistake trying to change a rom for my device (Lenovo s820).
I thought my phone was gone, but step by step I was able to bring it back to life.
Now I have a working rom and I set back the IMEI's, but I still have "no service".
After reading a lot, I understand that I need to recover my "NVRAM" and to do so, I need for somebody to send my a file called "NVRAM.IMG" which applies to my device.
I can't find this file anywhere on the net.
Can somebody please send me?
Thanks in advance

does nvram.img file needed alongwith secro-sign.img file to retain the lost imei no sr.no mac address and bluetooth settings in meditek 6737m device name moto c plus.
I'd like to change MAC addresses for this purpose and this purpose only: gaming.
[Android] StreetPass Riilay: The HomePass method on your phone[/url] (The forums are down for maintenance and I still have the 10 post limit)
According to that thread, Android phones have their Wi-Fi configurations in these directories.
Code:
/system/etc/wifi/nvram.txt
/data/misc/wifi/config
/data/.nvmac.info
/factory/wifi/.mac.info
/data/etc/wlan_macaddr
/pds/wifi/wlan_mac.bin
However, none of these paths contain those MAC configuration files.
These three paths exist on my phone: /system/etc/wifi/ and /data/misc/wifi/ and /pds/wifi/ but do not have any MAC address configurations.
Is there another directory where the MAC configurations are located? Is it even possible to change the MAC address on the Razr?
I've tried apps from the play store, and those don't work. I'm not using any ROMs, but I installed BusyBox files.
So basically my questions are:
1) Where are the MAC configurations stored?
2) Do certain ROMs have different Wi-Fi configurations in different paths in the system's files?
3) I am not doing this so I can connect to networks, I am doing this so that other devices can connect to my phone's Wi-Fi network. Most MAC address apps don't do that
Well thanks for the help anyway. I just copied the system files onto my desktop then looked into every nook and cranny. The answer was in my face all this time.
For anyone else who needs this in the future:
data/misc/wifi/firmware/wl12xx-nvs.bin
pds/wifi/nvs_map.bin
That's where the MAC configurations are stored. The values are stored little-endian, so just read along the first line and you'll know what I'm talking about. Change the values to your desired MAC address, then presto, your MAC address is changed. Do this for both .bin files.
This is only temporary, so you should make a copy of your desired MAC available in your file manager so you can just paste them into the directories with ease.

xx.qcn file will created(xx is any name)
7. now open hex editor search your imei number with [08xa] x is your starting digit of imei example(087a) for second imei click
find next option
8. now open your imei convertor and palce your imei and click convert
9. replace that converted imei in the form of hexadcimal replace with old imei same for second imei
10. important thing is while saving the file only by (save as) which is important if any mistake is happen we cant recover after

11. after saving again go to qpst npw go to restore option now click on start .
thats it! you got imei and signal:laugh::laugh::laugh:
i struggled 3 days for this to find correct way recover my ime
tools here
I would suggest to install Xposed and you can find IMEI changer in the download section. This will change only one IMEI number though. I mean IMEI1=IMEI2.
Another option is to use DFS tools.
And a 3rd option is to use Xiaomi (or similar for dual SIM) IMEI changer, you can use it to change both IMEI numbers.
All can be done provided that you have the box that the phone was packed in with the IMEI numbers on it.

Go to the section Guides where you have posted in a topic with "unlock bands..." There you have all what you need in the OP. Connect your phone in DFS tool, check the section where you have IMEI and update it.
Or use what I wrote with Xposed and IMEI changer.

Search for "WriteDualIMEI(W+G_eMMC).exe" file. Once you found it, check instructions on google to change the IMEI. It is working for Xiaomi devices as far as I remember. I tried on LeMax2 and it worked. I said I'll do a guide but time did not allow and also I forgot later on. For sure you can find instructions on xda as well.
This is the only tool I found to change both IMEIs.
Good luck!

I'll write down the instructions for you.
1. Phone should be rooted, adb drivers installed
2. Connect the phone to PC and select MTP and USB debugging
3. Open command prompt from Start. In Run, type cmd.exe
4. Type in the command prompt the following: adb shell
5. Then it should show [email protected]_x2:
6. Then type: su
7. Grant access on the phone
8. Then it should show [email protected]_x2:/ #
9. Type: setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
10. The phone will go to Diag mode, check in device manager if it's like this. It should show at section Ports: Qualcomm HS-USB Android DIAG 901D (COM6). "6" is an example.
11. Open the WriteDualIMEI app and you should see in COM: COM6. This means that device is connected and you can type in the IMEIs.
12. Press START and that's it.

There is also problem with mtalk on some forums, and mtalk isn't supported anymore.
On some forums that I follow, there is wrong configuration file on mtalk.
I tried to backup conf file, and open it/change it with regedit, on pc, and then restore it with backup restore, but doesn't work.
Is there some way to directly edit mtalk config file in dat format on mobile phone? (Regedit that can import dat file?)
Can I edit hosts file directly on mobile phone to try to spoof wrong address to correct address? (I have interop unlocked 950 and reg edit modded file broser, but only can read hosts file)

On my Idol4s mTalk won't work. Even if i do a restore from back up. I restored a Lumia 950 xl from an earlier backup after a recent hard reset and mTalk works fine.
What are you seeing is the problem with mTalk because I'm not understanding why one device it is working and the other not?

I cannot get it to even load forums in the search period on the IDOL 4s. Am not sure why. Hard reset, restore from backup, app reset nothing works. It just sits there searching for the forum with a white screen. I have seen this type of behavior in the past but it was only a delay in the forums populating on the screen. This time nothing ever shows in the search.
On the Lumia 950 XL or other devices I have mTalk already running on it works fine. XDA Forums, Windows Central Forums, etc.
Edit: I got it to work on the IDOL 4s. This was after eventually picking a back up to restore that must have actually had a good complete backup set of mTalk. The app in this case did not need to be setup and opened directly to the last settings it applied at the time of backup.
