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.

Pandaball, does your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth happen to still work on your p920? Either way could you possibly pm me a dump of your mmcblk0p3? I need to try to get my Wi-Fi and Bluetooth working again.

mac address wont be change if i flashed anykind of ROM?
Youn can't change MAC address flashing ROMs: It's Hardware coded. You could "change" MAC address in SO to bypass the problem but not on the real HW MAC.

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 ^^! )

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?
It's a hardware address.. You can't change it...

change mac address
I also want to change my mac address of moto E ... Can anybody help
Why would someone wants to change their phones Mac address? Can someone please enlighten us?
Some routers have mac filtering. You can not connect to that router if your mac address is not the same as the saved ones in the router.

But arent you supppsed to be the one to set your mac address in the router to allow your device to be connected?
That's the point, it's not your router

I have the same problem, i have a router with mac filtering, and i dont obtain it.

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).
I am using Bluestack 0.9.7.4101 which is already rooted.I want to change its Wifi MAC Address as that of my moblie.So is there any way to change Bluestack Wifi MAC to a specific one,for example,11:22:33:44:55:66.I installed BusyBox and Terminal Emulator,but unable to change Wifi MAC,as it has two MAC address ,so please help to change only the wifi MAC.
bump. Any solution?
Please help. Who knows how to change the mac adress.
Yeah, i haven't found any way to change anything in nvram so far.

This doesn't work. Any of changers doesnt work. I even tried changing it with terminal. It seems like nvram is somehow hardcoded in the device
i could not find any solution either. Indeed i have lost my imei numbers during rooting my device. now i can not use my device. Can anyone provide his backup files NVRAM/NVDATA etc for me. Thanks in advance
