Modifying the MAC address... - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Before I get an upgrade.
I want to see if i can try and flash my I9000 (galaxy s I) to a new MAC address...
Anyone know what's involved? I've tried the software mods, I even used ADB and modified it's "MAC" address, but it's not a perm
solution, basically I want to clone a NIC (wifi) MAC address.
Any pointers? - Cheers folks.

[Q] Mac Spoofing help needed

So my college uses mac address validation for its wifi. I would try to get my phone registered, but they do not allow phones/game consoles. I want to spoof my laptops mac address to get internet on my phone.
So far I have temp rooted my phone and installed the Android SDK onto my computer, what should I do next? I looked up guides on the internet but could not get them to work. Because I am a new user I cannot post links but here is some text from the site you can google:
This is a HOW TO about how to spoof your MAC address. A MAC address is a combination of numbers and letters that are unique to your own wifi card. I am not responsible for how you use this, I am just putting it out here. Don't flood this thread with how it is illegal because there are legal uses for this (such as pen testing).

It would change the mac address temporarily but it would go back to its original right after I try to connect to wifi.
Thanks (p.s. please use noob language, I just got into the whole android thing about a week ago).
Here's a post from the Hero forum that may help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686789
WARNING: do not flash anything from that thread
So would I still need to unlock the SPL (using the G2/desireZ files)? Or would I be able to skip that part?
Sounds like you would need the DZ/G2 ENG HBOOT...
I have never got this to work, anyone else have an idea on how to do this?

[Q] spoof/change MAC (final thread)

Since I first bought my Desire, the first thing I wanted to do is to change it's MAC to whatever MAC I wanted. I wasn't able to do it then, and after a year and a half I am still not able to do it.
Most of the threads here in XDA don't give an answer to this question, and the ones that do give an answer, seem to be intended for other devices than HTC Desire.
I have found this thread at androidforums (I am still not allowed to post a link, but I would like everyone to be able to see this information: http androidforums com /t-mobile-g1/3506-changing-spoofing-mac-address.html) to have the most information, but none of this methods worked for me; namely:
Code:
su
ip link set eth0 address 00:12:f0:dd:cc:dc
or
Code:
su
busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:12:f0:dd:cc:dc
Once again, none of the above methods worked for me. The commands are accepted, but when I check the MAC with "ip link show eth0", the MAC is still the same...
So, to the experts out there, PLEASE: what is the correct way to change the MAC address of our HTC Desires' MAC?
Thank you all in advance.
I forgot to mention one more appearance in the MAC spoofing scene.
I recently found this application in the market: (once again, linking restrictions apply for me...)
https market.android com/details?id=com.GadgetWorkshop.MACSpooferForHD2
I haven't tried this app because it is not meant for my phone and as I don't fully understand how does this work, I don't want to risk misconfiguring my phone.

Manually Change Wlan0 Mac Address Stock ICS

Hi everyone. I need to change my Mac Address on a stock rooted ICS SGS3 Sprint.
None of the apps work in changing the mac address on this device I tried them all.
To my understanding there is a .conf file somewhere in the /system/ dir.
Any help on witch directory this is located and the file name to edit?
Thanks!
Strange that I read this from you. I read your post in the "things to do with your GS3". Didnt you have a mac address spoofer in there? BTW I liked everything you made us aware of especially wifikill thanks.

Yea I had not used that app on this device yet. It used to work on my Evo. I think I may have figured this out.
This method has worked fine for me:

Make sure you are not connected to anything before hand

The command works fine and I did it while not connected to my network. However when I go to connect I get authentication failure. The mac also does not change. I wonder why. I will keep digging.
busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
Thanks!

[Q] Accidentally deleted .macaddr file

I was trying to spoof my MAC address permanently, so I followed instructions from some guys suggested at the Nexus 4 forum. I was able to edit the file (/persist/wifi/.macaddr) via Terminal and it worked.
I accidentally deleted that file a couple of days after that trying to set another MAC address. I still got internet connection and I got a new MAC.
The problem is that I want to change that MAC but I can't since the .macaddr is nowhere to be found and I don't know from where does it get the new MAC address.
Any advice?

MAC Address changed after Flashing Roms

I don't know whether anyone faced this problem or not.....
My Phone's MAC ID has changed after flashing a custom ROM.Since my Wifi uses MAC ID filtering, I'm not able to connect to my office wifi.
I tried flashing the stock ROM Using QPST..,But no luck...
If you remember your old MAC address then you can restore it using this Guide.
Use your phone's backed-up qcn file to edit the MAC hexadecimal.
