Hi
I've got one problem. I was trying to change my MAC address on Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. That operation was successful.
I changed it by commands
Code: 
su
ip link set wlan0 ADDRESS 00:00:00:00:00:00
And I also tried app "MAC Spoofer" . Both successful. But after changing MAC address I can't connect to WiFi. There is a problem with authentication. So I was looking for a solution on XDA. I found it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51072203&postcount=214 but I don't understand it. Could anyone tell me what should I do step by step?
Regards,
maciek1235

Why you change Mac Address? If you modify something with Imei or Mac adress you get tablet without any connections. Your Mac adress was unique like imei is, so if u delete it and don't do a backup, you loose wifi. Sry man. :-\

If I don't change MAC address I won't be ale to connect to my wifi ap. My wifi works but I have a problem with authentication. When I turn my wifi off and then on I have the old MAC address. But my question is : are you able to understand that mini tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51072203&postcount=214
