[Q] How to change mac address in Desire - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using htc Desire.
I have tried this command line
Code:
ip link set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
to change the mac which only works temporarily. After I disconnect and reconnect to the network, the mac resets to factory one
Also I tried this to copy nvram.txt from /data/misc/wifi/nvram.txt and add macaddr=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX in the end , but I don't have such file there is only wpa_supplicant.conf in the wifi directory.
How can I change the mac address on HTC Desire running Android? I have rooted phone with superuser permission.

[Q] Spoofing Mac Address

So ive been trying to spoof the mac address on my HTC Desire (LEE Droid 2.2a, rooted) but to no avail.
Ive tried going through terminal and putting "ip link set etho...." but i get "operation not permitted"
Ive seen this guide for the HTC Hero but I dunno if it'll work on a Desire:
ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=686789
Anybody have any ideas? And im doing this because my university doesnt allow any mobile devices to connect to their network, only laptops. So im trying to spoof my Android's Mac Address to my laptops.
Thanks in Advance.

So i think it worked, first thing you need to do is put in the command su so that the Terminal gets Super User access.
Then just put
iplink set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
iplink set eth0 broadcast XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
then to make sure it worked go to iplink show eth0
Will try that on my Wildfire. Phone must be rooted, right? Any other changes to phone?
I used this method, set eth0 a new mac address
then reboot my phone , put "iplink show" , the eth0 was missed
What can I do now ?

Spoof Mac Address

Hey guys,
does anyone know how to spoof the mac address on your phone? I'm testing a vendor blocking system and i need to be able to spoof my mac.
Thanks,
Cryous
Open terminal type in "ip link show" to find your WLAN card; mine was eth0 so I will use that as an example. Enter the following:
ip link set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
To confirm that it switched, type in:
ip link show eth0
and it should show the new mac address. I haven't tested if it works on a MAC-filtered router, but I think it should work.
Found this on another thread seems to work. I was able to connect to my router after changing.
Its says access is denied, even when I use sudo
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
The command works for me but i noticed its changing the wrong thing.
what do you mean its changing the wrong thing? It appears to change the right value
search "network spoofer" in the market. I'm just sure if it can spoof mac addresses or not

Spoofing or changing MAC address

I have been trying to spoof or change my wifi mac address.
I followed the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385577
And can confirms the change with # busybox iplink show wlan0
but I cannot connect to any Wifi. I have tried connecting to my own WPA protected router.
I have also read that some custom roms have managed this as a side effect but the details of exactly why and how this happened are unclear.

[Q] Change MAC address

Hi
I've got one problem. I was trying to change my MAC address on Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. That operation was successful.
I changed it by commands
Code:
su
ip link set wlan0 ADDRESS 00:00:00:00:00:00
And I also tried app "MAC Spoofer" . Both successful. But after changing MAC address I can't connect to WiFi. There is a problem with authentication. So I was looking for a solution on XDA. I found it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51072203&postcount=214 but I don't understand it. Could anyone tell me what should I do step by step?
Regards,
maciek1235
P.S. I also checked that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917684 but it didn't work for me
