b`coz i can`t use Y5zone for free

Has you found a way to change the mac address? I need it too

I'd like to know too, as there's now 2 Android HD2s in the house and we can't both use the WiFi at the same time...

Same for me, me and a friend both have a hd2 and both run android but have problems when connecting to the same AP...

I'm using Mattc's EvoLeo 1.0 and it has a different mac address than the other android builds. It's not the real mac id, but at least it'll get the two of you connected. It's quite a nice build for me.

i believe that the desire hd rom has this fixed as my mac address isnt 00.11.22...

I need to change my mac adress too.. I can't login on my company network because sb else is using same mac adress :s

A lot of recent kernels contain a fix that allows you to set your wifi mac address using the cmdline parameters in startup.txt.
Which build/kernel are you using? You might want to check if that works.

you can try this
set cmdline "bt.mac=00:11:22:33:44:55 wifi.mac=00:12:23:34:45:56"
change your bt address to whatever it is and same for wifi.

Thanks! Works perfect

Just edit your startup.txt like what asaHD2 explained.
Make sure you have hastarin kerne r8 and beyond that. If before that you should use another command line.

it depends on the build you have, is it NAND or SD? SD builds have the file startup.txt, and for some of them the method mentioned earlier works, for some it does not. Some hints for NAND builds, which could also works for SD ones are here, maybe sth more in one of those threads

I need to change my mac adress too, got 2 HD2 on same network / BT in car .
Im using "BOYPPC - GINGER CM7 HoneyComB"

[Q] HELP ! TWO HD2's On same network !! NOT WORKING !!

Hi, My friend and me flashed and installed Android on our HTC HD2 today, we used the same roms and method.
When we try to connect to the same wireless modem, we keep disconnecting each other. I Think it might have to be something to do with the IP address.
As we used the same Rom and method to install android on our phones, maybe we have the same IP?
Any help is appreciated.
i heard flashing a different radio to just one of them fixes this issue
I had the same issue, add the following in the startup.txt on one of the phones
set cmdline "wifi.mac=00:12:23:34:45:56"
Thank you so much. testing this right now,
Just for future notice, its
"wifi.mac_address=00:12:23:34:45:56"
didnt work without "Address" in the command line

How should this fix it when all builds have the same MAC?
Take at look at yours, mine is 00:11:22:33:44:55 and I'm sure yours is the same.

You both got the same mac.address...the kernel is designed to have a single mac address. I also got two hd2 and fixed it with the edit to startup.txt...
I am having another issue with the Wifi, and this seemed to solve it for 10 seconds.
The problem is, that i can connect to the Wifi router at work, though i don't have any working internet connection.
When i changed the mac address in the startup.txt it worked for 10 seconds, and after that it failed miserably again.
I've read about this issue before, though i can't find anything about it anymore. Does that also has something to do with the mac address? Wifi works fine everywhere else, but here.
With WinMO or a very old android rom and kernels it works fine.
Tested with MDJ ROMs, Cyanogen ones, all have the same issue.
Anybody?

But what does the MAC have to do with a radio?
And this is clearly a problem with his MAC.
The latest kernels from hastarin and mdj solve this problem with the MAC address using the same startup trick. For best results, update your kernel to the latest but READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY. If you don't follow the instructions (such as putting the 'root' folder in your actual root folder), your WiFi will not work.

It depends on the rom. Earlier kernels needs the address while newer ones don't.

[Q] Identify real MAC Address in NAND

Hi I installed MAGLDR and running MDJ's NAND rom
so is there any way to identify the real MAC Address of BT and Wifi
I kno installing WinMob roms will show the real MAC addresses but other than that is it possible to identify them with MAGLDR and NAND roms
Hopefully you have a router, you can dig out your MAC address out of it.

This kernel brings some improvements to the original, one of these is original WiFi MAC address

ifconfig is not working in android terminal
Hmm, do you have busybox installed?
i hv terminal installed and rooted
btw if with busybox we can detect da MAC correctly why cant android display the original one
Known issue, and it's been said it should be fixed eventually, just gotta have patience.
Unique is at least better than the previous all-builds-have-same-MAC.

there is no way to look up the mac address on the phone itself. The only way is to check the router's attached devices and check the mac address from there.

Hmm, okay can you tether or access other wifi networks? It appears to be working on your phone, considering its showing the network and attempting to connect, might be something with the router and your phone specifically. Try flashing another ROM and testing that out too.
EDIT: Are you 100% certain you are entering the correct password for your security? Youd be surprised how many times people (including myself) have entered the wrong password

a2sd shouldnt matter nor should clk or magldr, as wifi is the same setup for both. But good thoughts! Gives people something to brainstorm about!

Custom Rom Wifi Fix..(Help needed)

i dont know whether the problem is with Dsixda's kitchen or my rom but when the Stock rom is flashed my wifi works but when the rom is bulit using kitchen the rom has a wifi error i.e the wifi gets stuck at obtaining ip address
not just with kitchen if i normally zip the rom even then the rom as the same error
no modifications are done to the rom...
has someone else experianced this??...
did sum1 find a solution to this?
Fixed:
rom your android device, goto Settings > Wireless and networks > WiFi Settings > Click menu button (left) and select advanced.
You’ll see an option “use static IP” under IP settings section. Enable it and enter the following parameters.
IP address : 192.168.1.253
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
DNS1: 8.8.4.4
DNS2: 4.4.4.4/8.8.8.8
works properly!
