1. Yes, you can change MAC address (for example if you install CM or MIUI your MAC addresses will be changed). But I don't know how to do it (There are several applications but they don't work for some reasons)
2. I don't think that it's unlegal because it's easy to change it on PC, and the our device is already small PC.
It's unlegal to change IMEI.

LOL! Do you know that MAC can be changed very easy? look this and here Unfortunatelly those scripts doesn't work on our device
Also when you flash CM7/MIUI/CM9/MIUI2 the MAC became 08:00:28:12:03:58 (yes 1 MAC for every owner's of i9003 that flashed those ROMs). This happens because Samsung put the same MAC into hardware and change it manually in their stock ROMs.
BTW, if you flash back the stock ROM, the MAC address will return to Samsung one
PS: If you don't know the subject don't try to teach somebody: he can know more than you.

Well, a cafe store near my house open wifi for free, but somehow, i couldn't connect to it, maybe they block the recent MAC address that connect.
I saw in busybox iplink tiwlan0 has the MAC address, maybe it related to something?? :->

I know only 2 types of cafe WiFi policy:
1. WiFi under the password: The device can't receive IP address at all. And the customer should ask the password from waiter.
2. Free WiFi: The device can register with WiFi network and can get IP address. But all http requests are redirected to special page where customer should put the password and click button (or there is just button without passphrase).
Also I don't think your MAC is blocked
BTW try to change the MAC with the following command:
su
busybox ifconfig tiwlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55

Yup, the first Wi-Fi policy is the same, but the 2 isn't.This Wi-Fi is popular in many cafes in my country, guest just have to obtain the IP address and doesn't redirect to another page.
I tried your following command but is said command not found after the last command (or i did the wrong way ^^! )

You gotta change the LAN setting... Add athwlan0
Can somebody please post the .apk for Barnacle? I'm not able to find it in the Market at all.

For anybody else who might come along and not be able to get the .apk from the Market, you can download it here:

I had to install with ASTRO to get it to work.

Go to DHCP (under the Advanced heading) and set DNS 1 to 8.8.8.8. Then restart barnacle and reconnect your laptop. Then manually set the DNS for the connection on your computer to the same address. That worked for me.

I use WEP encryption,
64bit encryption strength,
network authentication: open
The most important part, specify your MAC address in Wireless - Mac filter of your modem/ router and select allow.
You can check your MAC address for phone by browsing to Menu> About phone> Status>WI-Fi MAC address.
Restart your modem and scan wifi from phone when you see SSID select it and enter the 64 bit assigned key.
Thats all. All the best.
thanks very much...

Trip, do not use WEP encryption in this day and age, one can crack it with widely available tools in mere seconds. I'm using WPA2-PSK with AES encryption (D-Link DIR-655) on my phone (XXKPH firmware) just fine. If there's a problem it might be one or combinations of the following:
. Firmware issue
. Incompatibilities between wireless access point and your phone

What firmware did you flash? I have some problems with the Gingerbread versions of Android. If you flashed XXKPH or JPKP5 try to connect to your router and ping your router ip and some external ip (like google DNS 8.8.8.8). If your router pings well and you have about 70÷80% lost packets while pinging external IP. you have the same problem as mine. To solve it you can:
1. flash Froyo
2. change your WiFi router (I've tested 3 routers and I have problems only with 1)
I am on ddkf1 and have this problem from starting. However it is better than ddkb2.
In my room wifi in sl works at will as it will connect/not connect/disconnect at it's discretion. And my laptop n other nokia phone works without any issue.
Should I update to xxkb3/kph or show it at the service centre.
Please suggest as it's driving me crazy now

The solution that worked for me is:- (i know its damn irritating )
Follow these steps:
1.Apps>Settings>Wireless and network>Wi-Fi settings
2. Press the menu key on that page (left most bottom hap key)>advanced
3. Select Static IP
4. Now enter the IP address, gateway, Netmask, DNS1 and DNS 2. You can find these numbers on your computer by typing cmd (dos command prompt) in the Run and then check youre IP settings. Type ipconfig in the cmd prompt. It will tell you the exact IP address. Make sure the last digit in the IP address is different from that of your PC. Else it will result in a conflict. Typically, the Static IP data on your Galaxy fit will have to be like
IP Address: 192.168.1.3 (the last digit will be that of your PC/ devices that you are using. It has to be diff for your smartphone)
Gateway: 192.168.1.2
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
DNS1: 192.168.1.1
DNS2: 192.168.1.2
Nice Work !!!!!!

Instead of doing this for common wifi "error" type *#*#526#*#* on your dial pad it should work, it opens the WlanTest,
if not go to Rx Test by selecting menu in WlanTest and altering the values one by one
This will solve the problem :cyclops:

need help here, does anyone here knows how to change change the mac address of wifi.?
the wifi mac addreess of my su760 has change after upgrading to ICS. then after reverting back to gingerbread, it changed again, good thing i write down the original mac address but i don't know how to change it permanently.
hope someone could advice.
The information is kept in mmcblk0p3, you'll have to dump it, find the current mac address using a hex editor and overwrite it with your original mac address then dd it back.

Hi.
Is it possible to change mac address on Moto G?
I tried every app on the market, some of them won't change the mac address and some of them won't connect to the router (can't pass authentication).
With rootbrowser I searched my phone for files that have "wifi" in their name, and then searched that file for word "mac" and searched my mac address in that file.
In xtwifi.conf I found the word mac:
# if we should use fake wifi scanner to report injected MAC address
# value 0: (default) we are going to use the real wifi scanner on board.
# value non-zero: we are going to use the injected MAC address
ENABLE_TEST_FAKE_WIFI_SCAM = 0
Any ideas?

Hello, I know its old, but I managed to change it on my ROOTed Moto G (Kit Kat) for other people...
Its in
Code:
/persist/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin
saved in binary.
View it:
Code:
busybox hexdump -C WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin
You'll see 4 MAC addresses, each increase by one.
Quick Overwrite:
Code:
echo -n -e \\x00\\x00\\x01\\x02\\x01\\x01\\xEE\\xEE\\xEE\\xEE\\xEE\\xE1\\xEE\\xEE\\xEE\\xEE\\xEE\\xE2\\xEE\\xEE\\xEE\\xEE\\xEE\\xE3\\xEE\\xEE\\xEE\\xEE\\xEE\\xE4\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x30\\x02 > /persist/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin
You might want to check the starting and ending characters with your output, before you write it.

I can confirm that this works also on Moto E, running Android 4.4 as well as 5.1. Thanks for the tip!
I was not very comfortable with using terminal. This is what I did.
Open the file /persist/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin in Hex Mode. Some file browsers (eg. X-Plore File Browser) with root capability also supports hex editing. I will recommend keeping a backup, just in case.
The file should contain the MAC address 4 times, incremented by 1. You can check your current MAC address from Settings->WiFi->Advanced
Change all the four MAC present in the file, also incremented by 1. Leave all other hex values unchanged.
That's it!
Also, this is permanent. What I mean to say is that the MAC address remains unchanged after reboot and even after flashing another ROM. So if you want to get back your original MAC, you need to change file manually (the backup might come in handy).
