Is there any way to change it?
I'm currently running 4.4.4 and I tried with the iplink command and ifconfig but none of these works since I have the "Authentication problem"
Does anyone knows how to successfully do it?

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
In short, there is no legal way.
The long answer is that the MAC address is stored with your IMEI number, in an area known as the EFS. The EFS is your device identity, and there should be no two devices with the same identity. Changing the identity (particularly the IMEI), is illegal in most countries. As a result, this site is a site that would not offer help in this regard.
A more targeted approach is to work with your router to accept your device as is. Hopefully that will get you past your authentication problem.
Hope this helps.

First, if you want anyone to have a reasonable chance of helping you, you have to provide a little more detail other than what phone you have. It's kind of assumed you have an inspire.
Many of us don't use the web version of the site and are unable to see anything you might have in your Sig.
Is the phone stock? Rooted? What ROM are you running? Radio? RIL?
I assume you have verified your internet connection, and are able to access the internet on this same WiFi network with other devices?
Honestly, with such vague information provided, it could be any number of things.
Do other devices connected to the WiFi have internet access?
Does your WiFi router assign IP numbers via DHCP?
Does your WiFi router have security enabled?
Does your WiFi router block access to everything except specific MAC numbers?

Judging by the number of yours and my questions that have been answered by the op, I think it's safe to say his router/broadband modem just needed a maintenance reset.

That's because your running the downgraded radio that the hack kit left you with, that was never intended to be left on the phone... It's used in order to gain root, because it has the "vulnerability" needed to root.
You need to flash another rom/radio. Look for ace/stock/rooted radio/rom in the dev section. There's one by Attn1 that will do the trick for you.
thank you. i really appreciate your help. now my phone is working fine. feeling really happy to repair my phone myself. this was only possible because of your guidance. i also thank Attn1 and dev.

Look at the Development section. That's where the roms, radios, all the stuff you need to flash your phone are located. There are instructions and links with each thread that tell you what you need to do.

but does this work for infuse 4G ?
In addition, I read that we can change the IMEI number using the ADB, or is there another way to do this?
Also, what about the GSII_repair app, can I use it for my phone (infuse 4G)?
i had this problem last night where i flashed a rom. i return it to stock and imei showed up.

Hi.
I have a Xiaomi Mi2S that doesn't connect to any cell networks.
I'm using CyanogenMod 11 nightlies, and after an update the phone lost its IMEI number. I had taken a backup of the NVRAM using EFS Professional, but when I looked for it the files where 0 bytes in length (probably a hard disk problem on my computer)
After trying a lot of stuff (installing stock MIUI, putting the phone in diag mode and installing a bunch of drivers), I managed to restore the IMEI number, but the phone still can't connect to the network.
I have tried a SIM from another company and it doesn't work. And my SIM works correctly in other phones, so I think that is not a SIM problem.
I don't know what to do... I tried flashing different ROMS, tried flashing a new baseband radio, but I can't get it to work! Is the phone lost???
Can anyone help me? I would appreciate it very much!!!!
Hi, I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device and issue.

Thank you for your help! I have posted in the thread you provided... let's hope that I can find a solution for this. I don't want the Android version of an iPod
How to fake a connected cellular network?
I have a Japanese carrier SIM-locked smartphone Fujitsu F-01F. The system software update is blocked since there is no carrier network connected.
I want to tamper this so it can let me download the OTA update. Do you guys know what is the component/service on the Android OS which the updating software use to get the current cellular network. If I know about that I can give it a try.
Summon @tewilove. Can you give an advice on this?

Generally it requires kernel exploit, bypassing kernel restrictions, then hook TelephonyService.
And you will need valid DCM phone number and IMSI to fake while hooking.

Is there any known exploit for 4.2.2? And IMSI, this thing is kinda new to me
btw: are you working on UpAny any more?
Any progress on this? I've tried UpAny on my F-01F but it doesn't work. It installs and starts, so I can select "Software Update" or "Upgrade Android software". But when I push "Next" button, it shows "Launching..." message for a second and that's all! No system updater started. If I manually launch system update, it says "Unable to start upgrading in an area where docomo signal is unreachable or during roaming even when Wi-Fi connection is enabled."
tewilove
Is it possible to include F-01F support into your app? I could do beta tests on my phone. And could donate to you if you need.
Hi , I've 2 pcs of Fujitsu F-01f 4.2.2 and I need to find a way to update the phones to 4.42 outside Japan , my current location is in Singapore. Can anyone help me ?
Hi everyone!
I have a Note 20 Ultra (N985F) Exynos variant.
My mom bought it for me without knowing it is a live demo unit. When she bought the phone it was working (network and data) but it was on Android 10. I started getting suspicions when i tried to update and it said "failed to register". I wanted to check the imei codes on the back and there's when i found out it is a LDU. I flashed Dr.Ketan's Android 11 ROM and i lost all network functions and when i try to search for network it says "Error while searching for network" so i flashed a stock Android 11 firmware from SamMobile but the issue still persists. I think i f****d up the EFS, don't know yet. I didn't have the mobile data toggle in the quick settings panel but after deleting the files in the EFS folder it got back. I have a little clue of what's happening here but i don't know how to solve it. When dialing *#0011# the imei status is "NG". Don't know if Chimera tool or Z3X will solve it by payching imei certificate (i don't have a license for those programs so that's why i'm asking before buying one). Will flashing pit file solve my problem? Will flashing a combination rom fix the issue? If not, how can i solve it? (P.S: wifi calling works, but i don't have any other type of cellular network)
Mate, the Nore 20 ultra is model number SM-N986B. The fact yours is 965 is the reason you aren't getting updates...
Unfortunately, short of unlocking bootloader (and even that is not assured), you can't just flash to a normal stock rom.
Never mind, i got it fixed by @hainguyenthao. I was skeptical at first but he really helped me. Kudos to you mate!
I have a network issue G780F please @hainguyenthao
