I have a Moto E2 3G phone and I have rooted the phone recently. Although I am not able to change the MAC address of the phone. I have already tried changing the WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin file in the persist folder. Also I have using third party apps like BusyBox with Terminal Emulator and MacChanger. Please find a way and reply in the comments below.
Search ascii.txt and using a text editor change the mac of the phone to the required mac.

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

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).
How do I spoof a mac address on my OnePlus One?
It seems to be impossible. The usual apps fail and so does a manual ifconfig shell.
Anyone got a clue on this? Help would be really appreciated.
Same problem
I need to spoof MAC adress on my OPO, i've tired all the apps but everytime the MAC seems changed succesfully but when i try to connect to my router, the phone have issues to autenticate. My router has only a wpa, and in the android WIFI menu i see: "saved" on the connection.

SOLUTION!!
Ok, i've been searching for month how to spoof MAC address on our device, but anybody helped me.
So i've tried all possible steps to change the MAC address and finally i've done it!
Here's the procedure i've followed:
1. (Requirements) Have a rooted device. (i don't know if busybox is required but in doubt, install it)
2. Install a file manager (Root explorer reccomended)
3. Go in settings, wifi, tap the three point at bottom right, advanced, and disable "scanning always avaible"
4. Open Root Explorer and go in this directory: /sys/devices/fb000000.qcom.wcnss-wlan and you'll find a file called: "wcnss_mac_addr"
5. Open "wcnss_mac_addr" with text editor
6. you'll see only your current MAC address. You can just edit it (edit only last digit recomended) and Save changes.
7. Disable and re-enable Wifi, and you've just edited your MAC address! Enjoy
Important: The Mac address will restore as default everytime you reboot your phone.
sorry for the basic english because i'm italian, if you have any question please ask me.
I hope i've helped you.
Hello guys,
I am trying to change MAC of my Lenovo AG3300GV tablet [Android 4.4.2]
I rooted it with kingoroot for windows and using kingo SuperUser.
I tried many apps like mac adress ghost, wifi mac changer but none of them did work.
I used busybox ifconfig commands also.
No luck !!!
When I was using Galaxy Y [Android 2.3.8], I changed mac temporarily by changing nvram.info, mac.info files in root files.
But since KitKat 4.4.2 very complex, I was wondering editing "address" file in "/sys/class/ieee80211/phy0/device/net/wlan0" will change mac ? [Only this file contain mac in plain text]
I tried editing the file with Wifi ON&OFF conditions using ES Explorer, Terminal vim, QEdit etc even by changing read/write permission and owner.
None of these worked.
Hope some of you could help me....
Thank you...

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
MAC adress cannot be changed it's serial number which is embedded into the Phone hardware....
It could maybe be hidden but changed is not possible.
The same thing is appliable for PCs

WARNING: THIS IS ILLEGAL IN SOME PLACES.
If you are blocked from the internet at any place like the library, or school, or anywhere else here is the solution to getting unblocked.
First, you MUST be rooted to even attempt to do this. If you aren't rooted use Kingo root or Iroot. If neither work then just PM me and i will help you.
Second, after you are rooted you go to the app store and download the app Mac Changer .
When the app is finished downloaded make sure that you have backed up everything n your device via recovery on a SD CARD (regular storage can be used).
What this app does is change you MAC address and changing your MAC address can mess your device up in a way if done incorrectly.
An issue that some people have are bootloops or bricks etc.
If you follow everything in this guide then you will be fine. Third open the app and Grant SU access then it is pretty straight forward after that put in a new Mac Address
and Save. ONCE YOU RESTART OLD MAC ADDRESS WILL RESTORE
That's it thanks for reading my guide
