How I can change the MAC Address? - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried to change my mac address with the commands on the terminal (iplink, ifconfig) and on the terminal the mac address is changed but isn't really changed after I've tried to change it editing /efs/wifi/.mac.info but doesn't work! My phone is rooted. How I can change my mac address?

Hi there!
Try the "Phone ID Changer" Xposed module...

How i can install xposed on this phone?

You may try this (what I used on my Edge+ G928G) or a ROM with it preinstalled....

[Q] solution for wifi conflict

My brother and I have two HD2 devices
but when we use the wifi in the android at the same time
a kind of conflict occurred and the last one who turn the wifi on can use the internet and the other is disconnected
so, is it kind of ip problem and how to solve it?
just to be sure: I guess when both are in WinMo all is working fine?
yes

I'm not a dev btw, just curious, sorry about bringing your hopes up
I searched some here as well as elsewhere, because I've read somewhere, a while ago something about changing the designated IP adress of the phone.
It sounds to me your router is try to give the phones the same IP. You could check the router for that. I'd first try and give each MAC adress a designated IP (a different one ofc).
Damn, I'm sure there's a post somewhere here about this, just can't find it...
Just found this:
http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8360637
In short: it's the MAC adress which is the same on the phones. You could try different build, but start with the mentioned thread first
This must be it:
"The only fix so far is run different kernels. That's what I've been doing."

Thanksssssssssssssssssssss
I really appreciate your efforts
as long as there is a solution somewhere here i will try to find it
Good!
Always willing to help
I surely hope it'll work!
I'm sure the problem is that you both use the same Mac address. Maybe the new desire hd & z use the original Mac address. So you both use the same android build and also use wifi

hi
are u have that file for fixing mac address?
if u have it upload here .that link have problem
To do this, you need superuser app and terminal. You also need to know your true wireless mac address.
1) open terminal and type su
2) type ifconfig eth0 hw ether [mac address]
This should change your mac address, but you have to do this every time you reboot.

by this way can i change mac address from 00:90:4c:c5:00:34 to 00:11:22:33:44:55 ?
and i do that and any happening?
If you return it back to 00:11:22:33:44:55 will return that mac address. If there's 2 people with hd2 and an android rom will encounter a conflict because both will have 00:11:22:33:44:55.

Thanks for that cma. Is it possible to make this into a script which could then perhaps be run at startup?
I don't know how this could be done at startup because you need wifi activated first before running it.

Can you write how we must put the wifi mac address;
Do we need [ ] and : between the numbers; I am trying with both ways,but nothing changes

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)

I had the need to spoof my mac in my s4 when recently bought, because mac filter in my home´s wi-fi so i download mac spoofer apps from google play, none work then, but this works https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wireless.macchanger, obviusly rooted and busybox installed,
for permantly mac addres change:
my address is 00:1A:73:XX:XX:XX in stock roms, in custom roms or stock with custom kernel the mac change into 84:38:38:XX:XX:XX, i thought that was a flashing bug, but turns out to be that custom kernels read the mac addres different from stock kernels, stock kernels read the info from these two files using root explorer /efs/wifi/.mac.info and efs/wifi/.mac.info.bak the mac addres is storage there and editig those files with root explorer to the same mac writen correctly, rember both and delete /efs/wifi/.mac.info and efs/wifi/.mac.info.bak.bak if created, and flash a STOCK rom with odin the mac address will change permantly unless an efs backup is restored or flashing a custom kernel.
try this at your own risk if needed, and always, always make an efs backup first i recomend efs back up pro in xda windows tool, this is high risk procedure and can mess your wifi,
Sorry for my english and good luck

Change WiFi-MAC Address?

Hey,
I know it's possible and I've tried several apps including 'MacChanger'.
If I change it and view my mac address, it's changed.
If I connect, it says 'Connecting...' for a long time and stops after a while, resets the mac address back to it's default and successfully connects.
Yes the MAC Address is in the right format.
I rooted my phone (Huawei Y550) manually with SuperSU and busybox installed.
Using ifconfig command on the wlan0 interface it doesn't change at all,
and I guess MacChanger uses the method that edits the file containing the MAC Address, which it shows the new mac address, but changes it to the default after connecting.
Any advice?
Thanks.
