Is there a way to spoof my MAC address without root? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for a way to spoof my MAC address without having to root my phone. Is this possible and has anyone done so? I found this guide below for the HTC Incredible, however, I can't find my MAC address searching through the interfaces...

will a Verizon reset to stock rom fix this?

[Q] Same old MAC Address problem, different question?

It occurred to me that there must be some kind of really easy solution to the problem of cracking a windows phone and applying Android and ending up with the WiFi MAC Address conflict issues...
I have 00:90:4c:c5:00:34, but my "real" MAC address ends in :38...
My guess is, there is a string in some bit of code, somewhere, a config file or a boot file, or some hardware file that has this MAC address in it.
Wouldn't it be easy to just go into that line in the code or config files and change it?
Or am I making this too simple?
Is this some kind of default address handed out when a program fails to find a proper MAC Address (nand not working, etc)?
I have searched all day for a solution, and tried 3 or 4 that I found without success.
So my questions are:
1) If this "default" MAC Address (00:34) is in a config or other file, what file would that be?
or
2) is there a simple way to change the MAC Address some other way, so I can get all 3 of these devices on the same network?
I have Android 2.2, Kernel 2.6.32.15r8.4-gb02a70d (hastarin... #66), Build 2.29.405.2 CL263770, Software Sergio Core Droid Desire V0.8...
On an HTC HD2.
(maybe there is a better distribution that gives me this same kind of look and feel that might work better for this problem?)
Thanks in advance for your consideration and help.

Look here http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...nge-permanent-mac-address-on-my-android-phone, you need to have root. Haven`t done this myself though. Good luck.
Please, tell us if you get WiFi working with a different MAC address.
I tried and I wasn't able to auth.
You can change your nexus 4 MAC address with a rooted device and the app called MAC Spoofer (root) (you can find it at google play)

MAC Address permanently while trying to MAC Spoof

Guys, I have this issue and my MAC seems to have permanently changed. Is there a way I can revert back to the original one?
Unless I am out of the look with networking but your MAC is static and doesn't change? Just like how you can get your MAC banned on Xbox.
I tried all I can. I had a backup and after restore voila Mac changed back. Probably some nasty bug.

MAC change

Has anyone figured out how to change the mac address for this phone? I can successfully change the mac address through the terminal but after I get it changed I cannot for the life of me get my wifi to connect to anything after.
