Thumbs up Thanks!

Works like a charm on LG Optimus One P500! In my faculty, there are 3 wireless routers without any password or encryption but i think there is someone that is banning everybody's MAC (or the MACs of those who's using the wireless connection alot, like me ) and i've found this thread about MAC spoofing and i've runned the codes in my O1 terminal and it's working Today i had to change my MAC few times first was 00:11:22:33:44:55 then 00:22:11:33:55:44 then 00:22:33:11:44:55 and so one oh and use "wlan0" instead of "eth0" for Optimus One. Thanks alot guys! XDA Rullz!

1) ROOTED PHONE

OPEN UP TERMINAL AND WRITE

:su

(THIS WILL SHOW YOUR CURRENT MAC ADDRESS)

NOW TYPE IN

:busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55

(INSTEAD OF 00:11:22:33:44:55, YOU CAN WRITE YOUR WANTED ADDRESS)




CONGRATULATION, YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SPOOFED YOUR MAC ADDRESS!

YOU CAN CHECK YOUR MAC ADDRESS BY TYPING

:busybox iplink show eth0


PS: I CANT GUARANTEE YOU, IF THIS WORKS . BUT IT SHOULD WORK IF YOU GOT BUSYBOX INSTALLED.


(I HAVE TESTED THIS ON THE NEXUS S AND THE GALAXY S2.

HTC DEVICES IS ALSO SAID TO BE WORKING!
)

I get an error whenever I try to do it. It says "ifconfig: SIOCSIFHWADDR: operation not supported". What does this mean?

I did update it but then it just gave me the same error. Could it be a hardware issue?

Hi,

There is also no eth0 on my Motorola Milestone 2 (European Droid 2). But i figured out, that there is a tiwlan0 instead. BUT. when I try to change my mac address using the method mentioned here I have the same issue as guitaristjoel mentioned:
Quote:
ifconfig: SIOCSIFHWADDR: operation not supported
Besides, the synthax
Quote:
:busybox
is not working for me, only
Quote:
busybox
without ":" does. Additionally I can't type
Quote:
:su :busybox
instead of that I have to type
Quote:
su [enter] busybox... [enter]
My Busybox sould be up-to-date, because I've just downloaded it from Google Play.

Any suggestions?

Zoli
