Change MAC address via ActiveSync

[paradis_pal]

Don't do it unless you know what it is and it is your choice
First please backup all gsmdata using backup_GSM.bat and restore using restore_GSM.bat if things go wrong, hope not to
Use at your own risk, take no responsibility for any RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MALFUNCTIONS OR OTHER ISSUES THAT MAY OCCUR
1. Connect active sync, I connect it in guest mode
2. Run Read_MAC_adsress.bat
3. Save your old MAC address (the file orig_MAC.bin) at good location in your hard disk
4. Open newMAC.bin in any hex editor (it's your MAC address in reverse)
5. Change it as you want and save it
6. Run Write_new_MAC.bat to change MAC address
7. If you want to restore the old MAC address run restore_mac.bat
8. now soft reset
9. just wish me luck If this works for you and I hope it will

To check your MAC address: go to wireless settings > advance > MAC > see it there

I'll make an app to change it soon after the exam if this works

am I on the black list again?

this works on my device, and there is no risk if you backup all gsmdata using backup_GSM.bat and restore using restore_GSM.bat, but the save the gsmdata.bin in a good location

[paradis_pal]

it works try it

I udpate it to the new itsutils tool and it works, I used to use the old version

Perhaps a foolish question, but what is the benefit of changing the MAC adress?

[yasser1981m]

thnx but what the advantage of changing mac address..?
and is mac address is IMEI ..?

[ycimpir]

If you are hacker of wi-fi connections, you can find permitted mac adress..
After you can change mac adress of your device and enter to wi-fi network.. (if wi-fi network has shield with only mac adresses) :cool:


Mac adress using for network identity and its unique on the world..
IMEI number using for gsm device identity..

[rondol1]

Thanks for explaining!

Dear sir
Please please, next time before asking a foolish question, use search and you will find a lot of answers, and not only in this forum.
Or at least read the first line (don’t do it unless you know what it is).
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this answer I couldn’t answer better
Some people set their access points to certain MAC addresses, if you knew them, you can access the network (hack) for free internet at least in my case.
The problem: there are no close WiFi networks near my area, but I hack a net café using this method,
Thanks for replying

Hello Chopin

I can't unzip file:"Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive. If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file again" Please, could you share it again??

Thanks

[paradis_pal]

sorry it is rar archive I should warn
use the free program 7-zip to uncompress the files

Hey,

It doesn't work for me.
I connect my phone and active sync is in guest mode, then i run read_mac_adsress but i can't find newMAC.bin.
Where can i find this file?

Thanks,
Steffen

[paradis_pal]

sorry for the late reply, Exams ;)
if you use wm5, install enablerapi.cab first you can find it at the pagepool changer :)

I assume pdocread/write are Prophet specific? I have a Kaiser. I tried backup_GSM first, but got 0 bytes, so I'm assuming it is Prophet specific. Is there anyway that I could get source code to modify for Kaiser?

I would like to change MAC addresses on my Kaiser to troubleshoot problems with our crap MAC-secured wireless network. Currently, I have to lug around my laptop to do this.

Thanks!

Given that information, any chance you can point me in the right direction to finding where my MAC address is?

Thanks.

[paradis_pal]

I'm not sue about youe device, acctually I'm not sure if this will work in other prophet, no one confirm
I can only assure it work only on my device
-l will list the disk only, the MAC can be found the data on the doc, not on the list
I can't help u right now but try to ask in your device section hope that someone will help you
and if please one confirm if this will read the MAC address

1. On the PC go to ActiveSync, File - Connection Settings - uncheck "allow USB connections"
2. Put the PDA into bootloader mode (press the volume down button and click with the stylus in the reset, hold the stylus and hold the volume down button until the screen colors), connected to the PC and hope to see display the letters USB.
3. Run Mtty, in "port" seek "WCEUSBSH001" and we connect with ok.
4. Important to write the following steps do not copy and paste.
5. We write "task 32"
6. Shows "cmd>"
7. We write "emapiWlanMac" (important, W and M in block letters)
8. Appears something like:

[hrkh83]

I go to a library and it has a Traffic limit...and it is only 35 mb!!!...
I change my mac address and then I have another 35 mb!!!...
I also use something similar on my laptop....!! also I taught everybody there...!!! It was the last thing they ( ...library ) could try to limit people...!!!
also there is a private and secured access point....with crazy speed....
I found it's password with a program named AIRCRACK...and I used one of the MAC address connected to it...and now I can use that...
