I want to change my MAC Address.. Device redmi note 4 (Snapdragon) has rooted + supersu + twrp + busybox.
i tried many methods with miui roms and LOS/AOSP custom roms.. nothing works.

I tried a app "change my mac" which one working awsm with other devices. But when i trying to change MAC im getting reboot. And after rebnot nothing changed.

Even i found MAC Address path after many research and trying to change manually but no luck..

here is path

/sys/devices/soc/a000000.qcom,wcnss-wlan/wcnss_mac_addr

But, when i try to save after edit MAC, sometimes it saves but file automatically gets to his default Mac and sometimes its getting reboot, (same like "change my mac app")

There is another app called "WiFi Mac changer" by Osama abukmail which changes Mac address successfully but it is not changing Mac from "wcnss_mac_addr" so when try connect to wifi after changing my Mac from this app its says "" network selection disabled authentication rejection""

Anyone plz help me

Why do you want to change your Mac address?

We have WiFi at neighbours which has Mac filtering enabled.??
Even we knew the password we can't use it so...
We already spoofed Mac of MTK processor devices but RN4 is not changing its Mac address from file
/sys/devices/soc/a000000.qcom,wcnss-wlan/wcnss_mac_addr
When tried from 3 Rd party app, device gets reboot automatically ??
Some apps show "Mac change successfully but when I open wcnss_mac_addr file there is defult Mac only..it's not changing..

please help

Perhaps I actually need to spell this out very clearly - using your neighbour's WiFi without his permission is illegal. Nobody here will assist you to do that.

What permission!! There is no need for permission. My original Mac has already added to the router. I wanted to connect it with neighbours Mac address that's it..

Also it's better to use spoof Mac at restaurant, coffee shops, McDonald etc.

I found this post is related to this issue. https://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/help/nexus-4-mac-changer-spoofing-t2180809

Please any Dev figure out how to edit those files in RN4
