As far as i know..
you can never change Mac addresses on any type of device..
MAC addresses are burned into the hardware more specifically the wireless card so I really doubt it can be changed.
I was reading about android os basis o linux so I thought that I can change mac on my magic as like I am changing it on nokia n810 tablet
sorry for my english

I understand what you mean. You want to spoof your MAC address as something else. Many products have thus ability (routers, PCs, xbox, etc); although its usually only for wired interfaces not wireless interfaces. The only use i can see for wanting to spoof your wireless MAC would be for cracking into wireless networks protected by MAC address control.

There is more use for that.
I have just installed Android (froyo 2.2) on my HTC HD2, and that uses a different MAC, so I want to change it back to what it actually is.

Hi.
I'm trying to use my G1 with the bluetooth pan network from my computer or from my mogul (which has an unlimited data plan) to go to the internet instead of using wifi to be more energy efficient.
So far, using wifi tether's bluetooth option, I manage to establish a pan network between my G1 and the computer running windows. However, traffic is not routed properly, I get "network unreachable" from the terminal when I try to ping something outside the local pan network.
Any ideas?
you cannot access the interwebs on your G1 from a network on your computer. you cannot reverse tether. it is not possible at this time, please people stop posting about this stuff
if you had searched you would have seen that it can't be done and you would have found a thread where theyare trying to get it working
I know it is not possible at this time, hence my post here.
I need someone with linux networking knowledge to have a look into this, the android platform is a bit peculiar to me, ifconfig is behaving differently on it then it does on a regular linux distro. I need help setting up the right dns entries, figuring out where they are stored in Android (resolv.conf? a property set using setprop?), etc...
The idea is to have Android connect to an existing bluetooth access point. Everything is there to do it, pand is working, a virtual bluetooth network adaptor can be created, I can even give it a proper ip address and I manage to ping it from the access point and I can ping the access point from android...
This is the perfect forum to post such a question.
Anyone else with a more useful comment?

You use the term "linux distro". Now, I know I may be beating a dead horse here, but linux is just the kernel--the rest is GNU software. Many things are going to behave differently on Android.
Exactly, what works in Fedora 10 possibly will not work in android... (and thats giving some ambition there.....)
that's exactly why I am asking here instead of elsewhere.
To tubaking182 : the really usefull answer would have been to give me a link to the right thread instead. The search features of this forum sucks.
Thanks anyway.
Hi stanelie,
I too am very interested in doing this VERY same thing. I've also searched and come up empty handed. If there is anyone out there with more information that could help please feel free to post. Thanks in advance.
I'm sorry some here do not like people asking questions but I too would very much appreciate REVERSE BLUETOOTH TETHER functionality for my Android phone. Despite what tubaking182 so very helpfully writes above (thank you ever so much!) there remains no EASY solution for this.
I will happily pay for an easy to install, reliable Android Market app that does this. I think lots of others will too.
So that there is no misunderstanding I wish to connect my phone as a Bluetooth PAN client to a Bluetooth PAN server. The server functionality is NOT required.
Thanks,
Paul
I see on my router that the device name for the DINC is android follow by what looks like a serial number.
Can I just name it ....uh...let say... Bob?
PCs, Macs and iPods can do it. I don't see an option on the DINC to do it.
DINC 2.2

I'm guessing you're looking at a DHCP IP reservation configuration page for your router. You can change the name there, as it is only a display name for purposes of managing IP assignments.
It has no impact on the phone. Changing 'the name' on the phone itself? I have no idea about what that would impact as far as the telephone network is concerned (if anything).
I would also like to know if we can rename the phones browser useragent.
Like when you go to facebook touch, it says at the bottom
"try downloading facebook for you'r Droid Incredible" and links to the android app. However if you're on a custom ROM is says the phone is a Nexus One
Let say I am at Starbuck using their wifi, I like something more anonymous and safer than what type of device I am using and what seem like my phone's serial number (or is it?).
Bob is ok...right? No body knows Bob or Jack.
I would like to change my mac address and cannot find out how. Thanks in advance.

I'm almost positive you cannot. If I remember back from computer 101 a MAC address is hardcoded into the hardware.

You could try editing the MACaddress plain text file on the ROM partition... I'd strongly encouraging backing it up first... just in case.
I don't know if it will do you any good... but it is there, so i assume its there for a reason.
@DizzyDen,
What is the path? TIA

That's the difference between Computer 101 and Computer 450
MAC addresses are burned into the hardware but transmitted/recognized using software...

make sure /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is mounted
the path is /devconf/
the file is MACAddress

So one cannot in reality change it but you can spoof it?
I think I stopped after computer 330.

Pretty much. You could read the hardcoded value from the network adapter. Then, you could either let the adapter do its own thing, or you could tell it to use and respond to a different MAC address. In Windows, the spoofed MAC is contained under a registry key; in Linux, we use ifconfig. Quite simple, in practice
Now, Android... well, that's not really Linux, is it :3
as changing phone's MAC address? change or modify that file? Thank you.
every piece of network chip has it's own unique MAC address so there are really only 2 ways to change it. either spoof it, which is highly unethical and has questionable legality, or get a new phone
the problem is to use the v8 gingerxpiria rom and I get a MAC different from the original phone.
With other ROM I have no problem, give me my MAC ORIGINAL.
Anybody here can help me find a way to crack WPA enabled WiFi. Its very difficult . I have to do it with my mobile which has lollipop 5.1.1 and is rooted
Can't do it. Try Kali Linux on PC.
Easy see Mac address and created . sample if , 78.54.23.dt.rd.67 Mac passw is 23dtrd66. Sample 2 if Mac address is 5f.tf.45.5f.gn.hm pass is 455fgnhl

Could you please elaborate on this? I have Windows 8 and the Usb antenna for capturing packets but not sure what's next. Have the software too.

It's very difficult to crack WPA networks. From my understanding, packet injection works only for WEP encrypted networks. Your best, and unfortunately impractical, bet is a brute force dictionary attack. There is a plethora of Windows and Linux software that can accomplish this but this method can take years. A phones processor is even weaker so you may be out of luck

Please don't get XDA in trouble by talking about how to break WPA.
