I recently tried to test if the mac address change by the terminal and apps was working, the terminal wouldn't change even with root and busybox and the apps were restarting my smartphone after applying. Does this happen with anyone else?

So, here it goes.
My goal is to connect to a network using certain MAC address. Wanted network is marked with "open" and I know that it allows access only to certain devices (according to MAC) on which the administrator have gave a permission to. Once your MAC passes the verification, device gets connected to the network and then I'm asked to enter username and password through WEB browser (well known for me, because it is a procedure that I do on my other device, as well as all my colleagues do).
For example, I was allowed to provide one personal MAC address to administrator to connect to this network. I would like to set the MAC address of my other personal device and set it on my I9195 so that I can access the same network.
So, what have I done so far: I9195 is rooted, it has Android 4.2.2 on it and Busybox installed. I have changed MAC on it using following apps: MacChanger (blue WIFI logo), MAC Address Ghost (green ghost logo), using Android Terminal Emulator commands and via MAC Spoofer (black circle with green text logo). What can I conclude: As soon as superuser has granted the access to these apps, all of them manage to change the MAC. I've done the verification using Terminal Emulator. I also have to add that the MAC remains original if viewed from WIFI advanced menu BUT this shouldn't be an issue because:
1.) Colleague of mine is using his S4 (rooted etc.), while using MAC Address Ghost that does not change the original address (viewed from WIFI advanced menu) but he manages to make a spoof (verified from the Android Terminal Emulator, as all of this apps actually do) and he manages to connect without any problems in the same way as I connect with another device that I have!
2.) I had time to make a small test at home which put a light on the idea that the problem should be focused on the Samsung (and not on the router, especially because I am unable to modify anything on the router on this facility, not even restarting it). My home network works in a similar way as the network that we are discussing about. My S4 Mini has been included in it with his original MAC and it connects to the network without any problems. My other device is also included to the network using its MAC (the one that I am using for spoofing). My other device is turned OFF, router has been reset and I am normally accessing the network with S4 Mini. Then I run the MAC Address Ghost to spoof the MAC on my S4 Mini. In that moment, I have lost the connection that I had which means that the MAC spoofer actually did something. I tried to reconnect to the network but then I am asked to enter the password for my network. I have checked and re-checked it many times, tried to forget the network and doing it all over again but it does not accept the CORRECT password. Changing my MAC back to the original one connects S4 Mini back to the network, while accepting the password immediately.
Problem is represented in a way that it either says “saved” and does not connect to the network or every few times displays a message “Authentication error occurred”.
I have tried I would say every possibility that I’ve seen over the internet. That includes:
1.) Installing WiFi Connection Manager (it provided some info regarding the network that I wish to connect to: IEEE 802.11g standard, 54 Mb link and CH:11). I’ve used its function to fix the WIFI (advanced fix (root required)) but it didn’t help.
2.) All sorts of staying close to the rooter, while enabling and disabling the Power save mode (accessed via *#0011# command) or while having GSM signal.
3.) Browsing through system, data etc. folders to try to find the file that contains the MAC address information (like it did on older android versions in the nvram file). I’ve been unable to find this file or any sort of file that displays my MAC for the purpose to modify it.
I have a plan to upgrade Android to version 4.4.2 later today and make a test.
Please, feel free to suggest anything else! If I do not succeed, I will have to replace my S4 Mini with something else.
Kind regards,
QUICK REPLY: After installing CyanoGEN MOD 4.4.2, the problem remains!
I think there could be a shorter solution! On Sony Xperia Acro S with 4.1.2 Android it was just a matter of changing the MAC address within the file data/etc/wifi/fw! One minute modification...
So, please, if somebody knows the path to the file that contains MAC on CyanoGEN MOD 4.4.2 or on Android 4.2.2, PLEASE HELP!
Kind regards!
Hello guys!
Do you know how we change the mac address on the note ii (am rooted with phoenix rom 4.3). I have seen a few tutorials here but unfortunately i havent managed to get it work. When i go to the terminal with busybox installed and type busybox ifconfig it says applet ifconfig not found. I had no luck also with apps found in google play. Any ideas?
Hi, is there anyway to spoof the MAC address on an m8 running 4.4.3 all the apps in the play store seem to end in an authentication error once the mac is changed by an app. This also happens when using a terminal and busybox with ifconfig, iplink etc.
Thanks.

Have you tried Pri-Fi?
Pry Fi causes an authentication error once the mac is spoofed, so the phone won't reconnect to the AP.
Does anyone have a solution for this??
This is would be a huge help if someone could find or has found a way to implement this. Ive tried the apps Mac Spoof and Mac Address Ghost with no luck. I went digging around in the system and found some files that I was denied access to (Searching terms like 'wlan' in ES File Explorer) and the ones I did dig through didn't contain any info. The /persist folder also contains nothing, which a few different posts lead me to check. I'm on a Rooted and S-Off Verizon HTC One M8 Stock before the update bringing power saver if its any help.
Root Required for this
The popup keyboard from amazon is really annoying.
I always installed null keyboard and used settings.apk file to change ime on ftv1. that solution no-longer works for ftv2.
below works for ftv2 . tested on sloan5.05r4 comes
read warning below. you may want to script with something like rom tool box scripter to enable and disable so you dont have to search for commads
From adb:
adb shell
su
pm disable com.amazon.tv.ime
thanks to this

to re-enable it
adb shell
su
pm enable com.amazon.tv.ime
note: verified known issue below with keyboard completely disabled for entering new wifi password.
Ok so after testing using the method mentioned above it does in fact hide the on screen keyboard but it also completely disables the possibility of entering text in certain instances. For example, I enabled the above and disabled the similar method used for blocking. My FTV wasnt finding the update so I went to network settings and forgot my wifi network. When I tried to reconnect by selecting the network name there is no option at all to enter text of any sorts. I actually had to remove the password from my network connect unsecured and reconnect in to adb to disable the keyboard hiding to be able to reconnect to a secured network.
wifi and bluetooth not working at all .. i am using custom ROM (Havoc OS latest version) android 10 but cant enable WiFi Or BT, the problem Suddenly happend to while playing an online game.
i tried to install the stock Rom but the exact same result Happened to me.
i noticed in about phone section that WiFi has no mac address .. so i tried to set a new mac address to my phone.
but i faced a problem .. when i type in terminal "IP link show" *After typing su to get Super-User Permission* ,this should shows me my phone network interface name and then type this command to set new mac “busybox config NETWORK-INTERFACE-NAME hw ether XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY”.
but all i get "/system/bin/sh: IP: inaccessible or not found" i think this is the problem but i dont know what to do right now!
Thank y’all for reading this problem although of my bad English writing.
