I want to change my mac address of my fire tv stick 4k (Fire os 6.2.6.5) to a specific one, but how can I achieve that?
Short story: I have 2 Amazon fire Tv sticks 4k and the one has a license for an app. I want to use this app on both devices without having 2 licences. But how could I change the mac adress of the 2nd one to the adress of the 1st one
Has anyone an idea?

You can use your router to spoof a MAC address
But this isn't going to work to install an app

MAC adresses and all this stuff are located in the mmcblk0boot1. To modify them you can use the binary that Amazon implements in /system/bin (vendor/bin) if mantis has vendor partition. Basically in a root shell use the tool "idme".

To change your WiFi MAC:
Root device.
Connect to pc, open command prompt & type:
Code:
adb shell
su
idme mac_addr <[B]NEW MAC ADDRESS WITH NO ::: [/B])
reboot
After the device reboots your WiFi MAC address will be whatever you set it to.
Edit: I just read your first post, this this also means one won't connect to your WiFi as two devices on the same network can't have the same MAC addresses. It's also against XDA's rules to discuss piracy, so I recommend you just purchase the app again for your other device.

thanks for the answer I tried it through the ADB. Idme returns that I have no Permissions for that folder. So I probably need to root my device first. But how is it possible the access a root shell with the Fire tv stick 4k?

Thanks for your reply too Its not about piracy, I have contacted the vendor regarding my issue and he said that he is not able to give me a 2nd license. If I want to do it on the MAC-Way - its up to myself. So no worries ^^
All in all the question is: How can I root the 4k Stick without to dismantle it I would really appreciate help

I don't think you can root without unlocking the bootloader & to do that, you need to open the device: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/orig-development/unlock-fire-tv-stick-4k-mantis-t3978459
As I said before though, if your devices have the same MAC addr, one won't connect to the router.

I know it can be done on the Hero through fastboot, but as there is no unlocked boot loader for the Desire it's not possible.

Which MAC address?
The WiFi MAC address should be accessible through ifconfig just as any other *nix derivative. Try it, but you need the ifconfig binary first. I found the ifconfig/iwconfig etc binaries compiled for android somewhere and they work as they are supposed to via terminal emulator.

BusyBox is a package containing a whole range of "program commands" and/or "scripts" (tools). It is with these extra tools, specific tasks can be performed.
Once a custom ROM has BusyBox installed, it means that scripts on the ROM and apps in the ROM can use make use of the tools to perform their tasks.
For example "dd" is a known linux command/tool for block-by-block copying and dumping. However "dd" does not exist until BusyBox is installed. Other popular tools are "uname" to get the kernels name/details, and "ls" is to list the contents of a directory/folder (similar to "dir" in DOS). There are about 50 or more of these commands packaged inside "BusyBox". Whenever there are new versions of BusyBox installed (as you may see in the changelogs for some custom ROM's), this is simply because BusyBox has included either new versions of some of its tools, or perhaps added additional tools to the package.
Hope that helps answer your question. However to be honest, I found all that out by SEARCHing this forum.

^^ hit the nail on the head. That's not to say that busybox is the ONLY way to get those tools. It's just the slimmest. There are more robust gnu equivalents of the tools that it includes, but they're nowhere near its tiny footprint.
Busybox is a pretty neat application though, since all of the tools that it provides are housed in one binary (busybox). The other commands operate with symlinks named appropriately for their function (su, etc.). The binary detects the name of the symlink that invoked it and behaves appropriately. It's commonly used in environments where not much space is available (recovery environments, embedded systems, etc.)

The main reason people here get told to Google a problem is because more likely than not, the answer you'll get from the search engine will be a page from XDA...
There's also a search box within XDA too, I found these pages using it, they would have answered the OPs question, there wasn't really a need for this thread.
Not trying to be rude but the search is there for a reason and these questions have been asked hundreds of times before
http://busybox.net/FAQ.html#whatis
thank you all for the feedback it is much appreciated
oh and I did do a search but only on the HOX forum not the entire site, and Searching only th HOXX forum there were fragmented pieces of info, but anyways Thanks you guys

you can factory reset, or reflash firmware, but think is unlikely that, you can unlock now.

is there a way to force my fire phone to connect to 4G/LTE only ?
sometimes it switches to 3g automatically ..
I want it to be fixed to LTE only ..

Even if you set the priority to 4G/LTE, it depends on your carrier and it'll still get "downgraded" to 3G or even 2G.
There are apps, that can set the network type manually, e.g. 4G LTE Switch (provided the device is compatible).
Please help

How the contacts work in general on this phone is about the only thing left I haven't been able to customize to my liking.

Hello guys! I am a bit tired today to explain all the details, we will be writing a better post soon. But for now this will have to suffice.
TL; DR;
We are going public on how to hack the headunit for HKMC vehicles. This applies to pretty much all Gen5W models, requires no soldering, and yeah, its fun I guess.
This is pretty much for devs tho, so if you expect to run youtube with this today, sorry, but not yet. It will be possible tho, but so far we were focused on getting the access.
What is all this about?This project aims to give users ownership of the headunit on their cars. You paid for your car, you own it. That includes its computers. With this project we aim to provide you with the ability to extend your stock functionality on certain korean models.
We are not on this for commercial gain, however, you can use whatever we've learnt so far to build and sell CFW if you wish, that is up to you. I only ask that you contribute back and share your findings. Basically, open source mentality between us here. We all want the same at the end of the day, which is completely owning our cars and the systems on it.
We do not sell the access to the hack.
We do not sell the tools to get access to the system.
We share our knowledge.
You can:
Build and sell your CFW using the tools / knowledge that comes from collaborating. (Please, strongly consider sharing how things are done so we can attract more developers when we decide to go "public")
Also, consider safety first. Let's try not allow non-technical people to drive while watching netflix. But this is completely to your discretion.

hello good friend. Do you have any information about HU Gen5w using Motrex's android 9.0 backend?
Gen5Premium has different encryption key i guess. All files are empty

Just to be clear, did you extract a key already from the unit? I haven’t included any decryption binary nor key on the gitlab, the files you see there (DecryptToPIPE & the .DER file) are just placeholders, read te contents of those files for details

American Units actually use Android, but I don’t think it’s that latest android tho. In any case i know somebody else is working with android units but I don’t know how far they are

Ah, that's it. You need to dump headunits software first.
So decryption key is uniq for each car?

Not entirely sure. Nobody has yet found the key besides me (or haven’t spoken up) so I can’t compare if keys are unique across units. But the key in your unit will be able to decrypt all gen5w updates up to date. To get the key you don’t need to dump the whole software, it’s enough to just rename a program in the unit, put a shell script where that program was , once called, get the args passed to the script (you’ll have one of the args as a path) copy the content of that path to your usb and then lastly call the original program so the process works as expected for the headunit. (Man in the middle).
The reason we don’t share the key (or the DecryptToPIPE software) it’s because that might be copyrighted material, and we are avoiding any copyright infringement.
I don't have AppNavi update option in Engeneering Mode > Dynamics > Navigation.
There is no Config section. I checked the rest with no luck.
210513 firmware. Should i update to 220210?

Yup. You need to update to the latest.
FYI: I've updated the repo and added the method to extract encryption keys for the updates:

That’s strange. Are you from the US or EU? Can you share the details of your unit ? (Version and model )

Hello guys, I want to tell you my story, and I need a little help from you also :
My car : Kia Sportage QLE Gen5 navi, updated to sw : 211029 fw : 210930
After update , no way to find pin for engineering mode, only dealer mode with pin 2400 and 7,3,1 volume combination. But with navigation hack, showed in this thread I managed to enter engineering, and managed to make adb to work on ethernet, but the only way to do adb to work was by installing an USB to Ethernet converter into USB, connect and ethernet cable between converter and my laptop. Don't know for sure if it is necessary or not, but after installing everything ( usb, cable, etc) I made an Reset to factory . Connected the wifi of unit and phone to house router, and finally was able to install apps with Easy fire tools.
I manage to install boot hack and now when I press 2 times on SETUP is going to engineering menu, and from there I can access all other applications that I have installed ( file manager, soundabout).
So I hope someone else who wants , can now get adb to work and install what he wants.
Now I want to ask the ones who already managed to install apps, if they can help my with some apps that are tested and working OK : I need an IPTV software, I installed GSE IPTV, with was working ok before upgrade, but now it does not start playing, only loads m3u list, you can select channel, but .. not start. Youtube working has anyone? I installed an older version, but it say it can not work without google services. And last, is there a way to add shortcuts to apps in oem menu? or a way to quick access them? or something like task manager? not to be forced every time to go to all apps and start app from there?
Thank you, end if someone needs more help with adb to work, and did not understood complete what I said, please fell free to ask, if I can I help with pleasure.
I downloaded the my20 update for xceed, but the installation checks update files section gives an error at %30 and I still could not update. Can you help me?
New updates on this guys ? Is this project abandoned ?
