Can a developer add the option to read a file to change the Wifi and Bluetooth mac addresses in NAND similar to what we have in the startup.txt in SD version?

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 ?

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

Not all builds have this file nor read this file.

and bluetooth mac?!
any one knows how to change BLUETOOTH mac address with NAND?
Hi, guys
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.
I've seen these possible answers:
Try changing the startup.txt from
Code:
set cmdline "nand_boot=0"
set cmdline "bt.mac=00:11:22:33:44:55 wifi.mac=00:12:23:34:45:56"
boot
To
set cmdline "rel_path=Android nand_boot=0"
boot
and
Code:
#Mdeejay FroYo Revolution v. 1.7
set mtype 2524
set ramaddr 0x11800000
set ramsize 0x1e400000
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set cmdline "wifi.mac=00:11:22:33:44:55 bt.mac=00:11:22:33:44:55 nand_boot=0"
boot
NOTE: You need to repalce the 00:11:22:33:44:55 with the real MAC address or any of your choice...but if you're like me that have *ALL* security features turned on on your wireless router (MAC FILTERING, HIDE SSID, WPA2, 802.1X) then you need to use the real MAC address..

Problem is, both solutions mention startup.txt, which I simply do not see in the NAND setup folder...
Both are found in the MDJ FroYo Revolution v.2.1 threat...
I have not tested them, I would like someone to confirm this is working, someone who knows more than me...
Any help and opinion on this topic welcome...
The post above only applies to SD, NOT NAND. I want to know how to change these too
bump
Thanks
I want to find out too!
How can I spoof my mac address?
some bloke has the same mac addr as me @ the uni so I need this or I can't get online.
The uni defined that you have to REG your MAC first;
so that f¨¨king idot regged first, and now I am cut off because of him.
Anyone an idea where in nand the BT & MAC settings are stored? can this be changed with root explorer? or with cmd line?

download the terminal emulator free from the android market.
-go to your setting and find out what your mac address is. write it down.
-open it
-if theres a question mark at the left of the cmd line write "su", if theres a # you can skip it
-write "ip link show"
-search for the expression having your mac address. at my phone it was eth0
-write "ip link set eth0 address 11:22:33:44:55:66" or any other mac
-write "ip link set eth0 broadcast 11:22:33:44:55:66" or any other mac
now your mac should be changed. remember that this method doesnt work at every phone, at mine it didnt work.
i read some about linux terminals to find that out, pls dont post things like "you stole it blabla".
hope that it works for you,

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Wifi Mac address has been fixed long ago, I have (I suspect) my real mac address on my phone no matter what rom I use, its the BT that I cant find how to change, even though I have a kernel with the solution but no one willing to help.
And in NAND versions of Android, you change your WIFI Mac address by changing the value in the calibration file, open it as text and change to what you need.
Before I upgrade to NAND Android ROM I would like to backup my WiFi/BT MAC address.
How to get BT MAC from WinMobile ?
with the new NAND builds, the mac address could be:
1- fixed [00:11:22:33....]
2- http://www.gitorious.com/linux-on-w...mmit/4c31f2fb265ae68b82ed5e8ea4bec91208837011
depends of what kernel you are using
I was hoping to enter into Android whatever BT MAC address I had under WinMo.
Found it.

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
Dear All,
Can anyone help me on how to change the wifi mac address of any nand rom as i need to put my original wifi mac address instead of generated one by nand rom.
I need this action because i'm using my work wireless network which recognize only my old windows mac address and bypass the proxy with that address.
I'm using HD2_NDT_MIUI_GINGER_V9.2_Multilang_MAGLDR ROM
