My MAC address must have been messed up when I used ppckitchen buildOS
I no longer see a MAC address.
this is not a HERMES, so don't bother me with that thread.
anybody know how to reprogram my MAC ADDRESS ?
trust me, I read many threads, searched hard.
will a Verizon reset to stock rom fix this?
Hi,
I tried multiple builds, but wifi didn't work at any of them. I found out that most probable reason is inabilty to get MAC address for wifi.
dmesg:
wlan: dhd_preinit_ioctls: can't get MAC address , error=-110
I tired to modify startup.txt, but no results. I found that similar issue was resolved for other htc devices (tilt 2, touch pro 2) by correction of wifi-nvram.txt. I couldn't find that file on builds for hd2.
It would be greate if anyone could you say which file is responsible for setting up MAC address for wifi.. Or what can I try else..
Thank you!
* reposted from HD2 Android development.. It seems I've tried everything I could..
After flashing NAND Android, I found that the wifi mac address is : 00:11:22:33:44:55, and the BT mac address is :50:C3:00:00:00:00, any one can tell me how to change them ?
thx.

Sorry, accidently hit the Thanks button instead of Quote.
First: Wrong thread, this should be in Q&A.
Second: This is not possible yet, as the current version of MAGLDR doesn't have the possibility to pass parameters (other then AD SD DIR) to the kernel.
Hopefully, in a future update, Cotulla will add this to MAGLDR. For now, you can only use the fake MAC-address supllied with the NAND-builb.
MOD: Can you move this thread to the Q&A Section please?
Sincerely,
Mac
Apparently, there is a solution. I found this on one of the NAND build threads:

guys this is a temporary way to change wifi mac address in 0.2 build
0.2 build is prerooted so we can change system files
install root explorer 2.13
go to /system/etc/ find file calibration and open it as view in text editor
in first line you will see the mac address
put your desired mac address,save and exit
and then make reboot
voila now you have new mac address
thanks to osm http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9806811&postcount=17 for this trick

but, BT mac address how to change?...
So, just NAND flashed my HD2 over to DFT's .2 release of Android. This gave me the infamous MAC address issue of 00:11:22:33:44:55 but the file given here doesn't exist. The location exists, but there's no file by the name of calibration in that location. I used Root Explorer to search my phone even for calibration and it didn't find a thing. Any ideas what it may actually be called?
I also need to change bluetooth mac...
Is there a chance to change it???
no one a idear?
WiFi MAC Address Workaround:
Must have Android Developer Kit installed
1. adb pull /system/etc/calibartion
2. open calibration file with wordpad. Not notepad.
3. change the line that says macaddr=00:11:22:33:44:55 to either your real mac or just increment the last digit
4. save file and close
5. adb push calibration /system/etc
6. reboot phone

and bluetooth mac?!
any one knows how to change BLUETOOTH mac address with NAND?
Can any one tell me is that all the android build have the same MAC address???
no not all have the same mac address, i think its mainly the hd builds that have a hacked around mac address
I've the same problem, but i use the sd version of android, in the forum i've found only the nand solution, and trying with the sd version it doesn't work.
Is there a way in order to change the mac address in android lauched from sd?
Thanks in advantages!
There's no way right? Or not? i've tryed also with gscript somthing like
"set cmdline "wifi.mac=00:12:22:22:33:44""
but it doesn't work
the problem is when me and my brother access to the same ap, with identical mac an internal error occur obviously
This guide is for users who want to change their device mac address. Mac address blocking can be a problem in public WiFi. Where the administrator can block your access to the internet using a mac filter !
The mac spoof apps on the play store wont work with xperias
Mac address handling varies with OEMs. So the trick which works on other devices, wont work on Xperias
This guide supports all Xperia devices (Zl /Z /Z1 /Z2 /Z3) on the latest KITKAT version (4.4.4)
Step 1
Copy the follwing from / data / etc
wlan_macaddr0
wlan_macaddr1
wlan_macaddr2
wlan_macaddr3
Step 2
Paste these files at /system/etc/firmware/wlan
Step 3
There will be files such as
macaddr0
macaddr1
macaddr2
macaddr3
Now rename all the above files to some other name. Like "macaddr0p" and so on..
Step 4
At /system/etc/firmware/wlan
You need to rename the files you have already copied
wlan_macaddr0 to macaddr0
wlan_macaddr1 to macaddr1
wlan_macaddr2 to macaddr2
wlan_macaddr3 to macaddr3
Edit the above files using text editor to the preferable mac address you wish to have and then REBOOT !. This is permanently change your mac address
Be careful while editing the mac address. Use numerals and first few alphabets till " f ". Otherwise the mac adress will change to 01:00:00:00:00:00 and WiFi might not work.

Hi,
First of all thanks for the info
On which version of Android did you tested ? Is it the same for all flavours of Android ?
Can this method be used on other devices or just Xperias ?
