Changing MAC Address in Android

Question

I am trying to change the Mac address of my rooted Note 2 android device.

I did the following:

• busybox ifconfig wlan0 down
• busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
• busybox ifconfig wlan0 up

The Mac address does get changed but subsequently I can't connect to my router as it is showing authentication failure.

Any idea what's wrong? Is there any other way to change the Mac address in Android?

Answer 2

use this:

you need to use adb shell and su in terminal.

(i change wlan0) you can see all by this command "ip link show"

adb shell
su
ip link show wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 down;
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 12:13:15:16:18:19  
ifconfig wlan0 up;
