Does anybody know how to change the MAC address on an M8 running 5.0? I'd appreciate any help you can give me.
I'm trying to change my phone's MAC address so that I can spoof a "Nintendo Zone" hotspot and get some of the freebie-goodies for my 3DS from home. The process is pretty straight forward (Make a hotspot, name it "attwifi", change the MAC to something Nintendo uses, get goodies.), but I'm having trouble getting the MAC address changed. Most tutorials have you use a terminal emulator with busybox to change it via command, or a hex editor to change the MAC address in a specific file, but I've not had any luck with either approach. Even the apps on the Play Store seem to fail. My guess is that it has something to do with Lollipop likely changing how MAC addresses are stored and used.
I've tried just about everything I could find, and am running out of ideas as well as ways to phrase the question to google to try looking this up myself. If anybody could tell me how to do this, or give me some pointers, that'd be great.
Also, in case it needs to be said: I am rooted, and unlocked with busybox installed.
Wow. I have the exact same issue. I also have a M8 running ViperOne with Android 5.0.1
Tried every app from the play store. Most say the MAC Address has been changed but that doesn't appear to be the case.
I want to connect to the Router at my workplace. I took the MAC address from the laptop that can connect to it and tried it in a few apps that can spoof it on my phone but none work.
I'd love some assistance with this as well.
Thanks in advance.
Perhaps now, 6 months later, there is a solution? anybody?

I've tried to search around to see if any apps are being developed in this area. In specific we use Checkpoint VPN-1 to connect to work, which uses a hardware key token as authentication. I'm not sure if this protocol is fairly standard and therefore a generic app could be used? Or if it has to be made specially.
I know they have a windows mobile application here: http://www.checkpoint.com/downloads/quicklinks/downloads_sr.html#scmobile
I'm sure porting it would be no easy straight-forward task, but if it is I hope to try once I receive my G1.
If something like this exists already please post too!
It looks like using debian on the G1 will allow a vpn connection, is there anything else to know about using a hardware key like this one? Sounds very promising...
I also need a VPN client on Android
I install vpnc on debian,but that doesn't make sense
at least there should be a proxy setting for all the applications
Found this as well:

Using openVPN and stunnel
Unfortunately for me, I don't think I can use static config settings as the connection password continually changes and is supplied by the hardware key.
Bump,
Any other ideas on using hardware tokens with the G1?
Guess it's a slim hope, but checking back to see if anyone knows of any solutions for me here. Just got my G1 and looking for a way onto my work network from it.
You know when you're being worked to death when you're so busy that you need to be able to VPN into your work computer from your phone. Tell your boss he can wait until you get home when you aren't at work!
Haha! Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I'm on call...laptops and other computers work fine, but having access right on the cell would be amazing and convenient
I've been playing with the other solutions, but still not working for me, VPN-1 isn't the most compatible thing in the world...even no support for vista x64 (virtual machines to the rescue!)
Anyway, keep up the good work on development guys. Through just the sticky posts I've been able to unlock, register, root and install JF33 all within a couple hours and without a t-mobile sim. Phone was brand new right out of the box.
I installed cyanogenmod after rooting it with SuperOneClick.
I installed a few packages from F-Droid - I dont have any google services installed. I installed Droidwall and K9-Mail and tried to access a gmail account.
I whitelisted K9-Mail. Emails weren't fetched, so I whitelisted linux kernel; When I whitelisted linux kernel, Android System (which I blocked, to know exactly which ips the system tries to call) tried to call ip91.189.176.203 - which is coreless dot net. (This ip isn't always called, just sometimes in this scenario. I cant post links cause Im new).
Does anyone here knows something about this? How can I try to sniff my lan and see which packets are being sent?
EDIT: New strange ip: 92.249.120.2
EDIT2: New ips: 85.91.1.164 and 71.75.250.39
EDIT3: The android services are calling a bunch of different ips. If someone could try to do the same diagnosis I'm doing, connect to your wireless router, and make droidwall block every packet from every app. Wait for 3h, Android Services will try to call a bunch of different ips.
(Im new to Android... if this is some kind of hidden service for something please forgive me)
Strange ips keep appearing... is this really normal?
I would check the CM site as they change alot of the stock android programing to their own code
I tried the Cyanogenmod forums (http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...oidwall-its-calling-some-random-external-ips/) but people don't see too worried about to help me... :/
Hi,
I'm rooted and I've tried all the apps, Set Dns, Dns changer, etc...
It simply doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas?
P.S.: I don't know if this has something to do with it but a couple of months ago the dns settings on my main pc didn't seem to do it anymore.
I found out that my provider switched me over to ipv6, once I added google ipv6 dns adresses it worked again
What app did you use to change it?
Dns

I used practically all the DNS apps there are.
I've come a little further since I've made this post.
I have a /etc/resolv.conf file with the 2 google dns servers in there.
Now I'm trying to get the ipv6 dns servers in there aswell.
However, I cannot get permission.
I tried to chmod the file, with no avail, still no permissions for me to change the file.
Then i learned about lchattr and chattr, that didn't work aswel.
Now I'm looking for a way to edit the file... (That is if android actually uses the file)

So did I, it just occurred to me that you meant you figured it out on the pc (you know you're on xda, right?!).
It's sad there's no app for dns changing on kitkat.
Let us know if you figure it out.

No I'm still trying to figure it out on 4.4 KitKat.
I've managed to make a resolv.conf file now ( Simply mounted r/w in file explorer, silly me)
But it seems to me that android doesn't even use that file...
Now I have no idea what to do
Override DNS for KitKat

Hi, I feel your pain because I was on the same situation.
Many things dealing with name resolution have changed in Android 4.4 KitKat and so all the Play Store apps suddenly stopped working.
Changing the "resolv.conf" file does not affect anything because it's simply ignored by the "netd" daemon which now takes care of the task.
The classical "setprop" method used by all the DNS changer apps does not work anymore. Those values, when changed, get simply ignored by the "netd" daemon, too.
It’s necessary to communicate directly to the daemon via socket.
I created an app which automatically guesses the network device name and applies the right commands each time a mobile network gets activated.
I think it's the only one which works for KitKat (at the time of writing). You need a rooted phone (which is your case).
You can find the app on the Play Store, it's called "Override DNS for KitKat".
Hope it helps.
I stumbled upon these links that talks about spying whatsapp account (same whatsapp account on two phones with same number)
gohacking . com / spy-on-whatsapp-messages /
gohacking . com / spoof-mac-address-on-android-phones /
I found it little interesting and wanted to try this out but I did not have two phones so I decided to download an emulator and finally got through a rooted bluestacks tool. Everything was ok until i tried to spoof mac address of bluestacks. Upon researching a bit, I found that mac address of bluestacks cannot be changed since it is a virtual device.
My question is, if I do the other way round, i.e., if I spoof my mobile device mac address using terminal emulator and busybox and give it my bluestacks mac address, will that affect my phone? I know that I will have to reinstall whatsapp on my phone because the mac address is changed and I can do it. Just wanted to check what all things will affect if I change the mac address of my phone.
I want to try this and find out if it really works but at the same time I dont want to take any chances with my phone....
Please bear with me. I have never done anything like this.
Rooting doesn't appear to work with cortex. System manufactury specifically prevented it, as Kingroot said. I tried maybe 5-6 different types of rooting programs with no success. I wanted to change my MAC address, through programs that required the route.
Online, all I could find was MTK mac address changes, without root. Nothing for other services. I checked out a few snapdragons, but they don't seem to ever get anywhere. I kept going through threads, with no results.
Is there a way to change my phone's Mac address temporary? If I left things out, please ask. I'm new.
Should I post this in another category?
You could but you won't find help. In some countries it is illegal to change the Mac address so xda doesnt allow talks about it.
As for kingroot. All they do is check for known vulnerabilities in the system, then downloads a pre-made exploit and runs it. Nothing more then a virus really. For real root you have to have 2 things. An unlocked bootloader and kernel source.
How do I do those with a cortex?
