I am using Bluestacks 0.9.7.4101 which is already rooted. I want to change its Wi-Fi MAC Address as that of my mobile. So is there any way to change Bluestacks Wi-Fi MAC to a specific one? For example, 11:22:33:44:55:66.
I installed BusyBox and Terminal Emulator, but i am unable to change the Wi-Fi MAC. Somehow i managed to change the ethernet MAC, however it is still being listed as the fake MAC in wifi mac changer application. The wifi mac is listed as the real MAC in the app, which i want to change. Any help is appreciated....

Not sure which methods you've tried so far, but I found this method, I haven't tested it, so try at your own risk:
1. As you already have busybox and terminal installed, open a root shell in terminal (run "su" and grant access) note that all the following commands MUST be run as root
2. Run "busybox iplink show eth0" which will show your current Mac address, write it down in case you want/need to revert back
3. Run "busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is replaced with your desired mac address
4. Run "busybox iplink show eth0" again to check if it did update
tried that...it doesn't work....moreover eth0 shows only the ethernet mac and not the wifi mac....i even verified this with device id app....wifi and ethernet MACs are different where ethernet mac is listed as fake mac and wifi mac is listed as the real mac in the wifi mac changer app.....
Anyone found solution to change wi-fi mac on rooted bluestacks?
I've already tried everything. It's impossible.
with root and expose - or with bstweak and a lot of installs you can make fake wifi to work; and type there your mac and other wifi name and fake bcid etc;
and looks like is possible to simulate all real device ids or most of them
play whole day and changes most of things; deviceid; fingerprint details;
now stack tofind free app for gsf id and hardware serial;

Hi, does anyone know how to permanently change the MAC address on a rooted Nexus One? Thanks.
Considering the root of this file system is linux, it should be pretty similar to this: http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2005/09/how-to-change-mac-address-of-your.html
If at all possible. Obviously, change eth0 to whatever is appropriate. Also, you'll probably have to su to do any of the commands.
Hi, thanks for the reply. I did try that already but after the following command:
ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:80:48:BA:d1:30
I get this error:
ifconfig: bad address 'hw'
Any ideas?
It worked for me. Before you ran that command did you switch to root user?
Also, this won't permanently change it. It'll only change it for your current boot. If you want it to be permanently done, you'll have to put the command into a init.d script.
So, I have been looking into and testing this some more and I have found something strange. It seems as though something within android keeps reverting my MAC address back to the real MAC address and I am unable to connect to the network I am trying to connect to (it has MAC address filtering). Any thoughts?
And nachod0g in response to your error, double check and make sure that when you type the command "ifconfig -a | grep HWaddr" that eth0 actually comes up. If WiFi is not enabled, this will not work.
I cant seem to find anything about the sgs 1 and changing its mac adress (permanently/temporarily) ?
Can someone help pleaseeee!!!
Thanks in advance
I dont think we can change the mac address.
can't you spoof it?
I havent heard of this in android yet.

Mac address is a permanent address hard coded into the phone's hardware, or any wireless device's hardware for that matter.. Each wireless device in the world has its own unique mac address, just as each computer's bios has its own unique code..
You cannot change your device's mac address..

I started to grant SuperUser rights to my terminal app . After this, i started with the command "busybox iplink show eth0" and received the following error message:
iplink: can't find device "eth0"
Additionally tried the other command (with eth0) and there is the following error message:
ifconfig: SIOCSIFHWADD: No such device
Im using a Samsung I9000 with root access and all root-related apps already have root access all in all.
Even when Im typing ":su" or ":busybox ~", the device means:
sh: :busybox: not found
I don't get it, the terminal can work without these colons but the "eth0" could not be found, too
Any hints/tipps? Would be great, thank you
Wlan0 not eth0 no Ethernet on galaxy s

At first, thanks for the fast reply and I think your right..
..but at least, I already tried "Wlan0"
It seems, that the command (including wlan0) could be executed and I'm also able to display the wlan0 settings by typing: busybox iplink show
All related content is displayed including the "wlan0". The recently added mac-adress is successfully taken at this point (xx:xx:xx~ instead of the original one) and could be displayed there but even when im checking for the MAC adress in my android wlan settings, there is still the old one and my smartphone still connects with the old MAC to my gateway
I'm not sure then sorry will have to see if anyone else knows how

Hi,
Because of an issue at work (and it not wanting to reboot Cisco APs) My phone cannot connect to the Wi-Fi. I have tried several methods (apps & terminal commands) to change my phones' MAC address.
Nothing seems to work. Does anybody have a surefire way that will work?
Thanks
Kevin
Try this

Also saying nothing seems to work without saying what you have done is not helpful.
I'll look at the link thanks. I did not feel it worthwhile to say which apps and terminal commands I used as I followed the core out there. And even though it sometimes said it switched, in reality it had not. Apps tried MAC Ghost, and others. CMD tried via busybox ifconfig and couple other can't remember.
Did not try changing NVRAM.txt and the phone doesn't seem to have a wl file.
There's a way to do it using fastboot oem commands...it's been a while though, so I forget the specifics and where I saw it
You will probably have to be on an eng hboot though
Hi
I'm trying to change my rooted Xperia Z MAC address and android ID.
It's on official android 4.4.4
I tried some apps on play store, some of the succeed to change my MAC like Pry-Fi,
but then I couldn't connect to any network
I tried
Code:
ip link
and
Code:
ifconfig
commands and
the same problem happened again.
Any ideas?
is there a way to use Ethernet for Internet on slimrom using a USB/Ethernet adapter and then change the MAC address of the device so that the original Mac of the Fire is used. I want the original MAC of the fire's wifi chip to show up when I use ethernet

I've been unsuccessful using the following in terminal on the device or from an adb shell -
ip link set wlan0 address XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY
I get the following -
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted
I've enable root user.
I've also gotten an error referring to the "transport endpoint" (can't remember the exact error).

Why would you want to do this? Just curious as to why it is even necessary.
