earlier my firmware was:-
Model- Grand 2 SM-G7102
Version- Android 4.4.2
Changelist 3250544
Build date- 13/02/2015
Product code- INU
PDA- G7102DDUBOB1
CSC- G7102DDUBOB1
but,
I flashed the rom cm 12.1 provided by mukulsoni. Earlier when i was on official stock rom then my phone's wifi mac address was E4:12:1D:E5:52E. but after flashing the cm 12.1 rom, it changes to 00:0a:f5:01:03:24.
As i'm registered with my original mac address to my university's wifi, i'm not able to access it (because now my phone shows different mac address).
So, i tried a method to change my mac address by editing it in 2 files via ESexplorer. But when i opened the 2 files to change the desired mac address, it shows me my original wifi mac address written there.
This amazed me that there in 2 files, its my original mac address written but in the SETTING, it shows different mac address. SO, what's the catch? What should i do?
So. please tell me how to restore it back my original mac address.?
2nd problem is:-
my DATE and TIME changes to 1 Jan 2014 and differt time on every boot. I ticked time to be changed by network. I watched videos and try to replace my time_daemon file form folder SYSTEM>BIN with another one but that too didnt work.
how do i fix this time issue?????
plz help.

maybe it's the change my address?
Hmm, dont now.. I flash new kernel, same 2.3.5 droid, and have connection to wi fi without any glitch..
Maybe you should try a soft reset?
You need to get the new mac address of your phone first. Go to Settings->Wireless & Networks->Wi-Fi Settings->[Menu] Advanced -> MAC Address.
Next you need to go into your wifi router's settings and add the mac address to the list of addresses allowed to connect to the router. This is different for every router unfortunately, so I cannot help you with that.
You can modify to full permissions of wpa_supplicant in /system/bin use root explorer.
but after reboot you must do it again.
Hi all,
*
To my work, I can access to the WIFI by giving my MAC address. I gave my MAC address, and ok, I had access.
However, I flashed the rom CloudyG3 and following this, no access to WIFI... I've realized that my MAC address had changed (and I saw I 'wasn't alone in this case) ... So I did a new request for an access with the new MAC address, and it doesn't work ...
*
I used the application Wireless mac address change to replace the current MAC address with my old address and I regain access to the corporate network ...
*
So is there anyone could help me to find my old MAC address? I tried to reflash my phone, it does not change ... I tried to pass on the Rom OptimusG3, the MAC address remains on the new ...
*
Thank you in advance for your help
Mine does the same thing and I cannot get a answer on how to fix the wifi mac address change.
Flash with my Nandroid backup... unsuccessfully...
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 ?

help!!!
I wanna change my mac address, i have z2 lollipop
And i dont get the explanation, can anybody help with simpler ways of changing my 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.
Hello,
I made a full TWRP backup and restored to another device. It seems that I also restored the EFS partition by mistake
Now, both of my devices have same mac address for wifi and bluetooth which is causing lot of issues for me. I tried to change the mac address using busybox but it doesn't seem to work.
Is there a way to edit the EFS file and modify the mac address ? I tried to edit using UltraEdit but I didn't found my mac address in it.
Any help would be very nice
(concerned device : Samung Galaxy Tab A 2019 10.1" with Nexus Rom)
OK, finally found it in the Ultra Edit. the mac addresses are splitted on 2 rows. youmust search for a partial mac address.
