Hi xda community. I've been trying to spoof the MAC address and do a WiFi tethering while using that MAC to share my network with no results. I used various apps in the store, the yellow wifi one, the terminal commands with busybox, searching the nvram.info file (is not there) and nothing works. I'm trying to do this to spoof the Nintendo Zone Streetpass relay for my 3DS with the community of gbatemp. I'm using CM 10.1. Thanks in advance.

How to spoof Mac address

Thank you. I already tried that app but when I change the MAC, it opens automatically the WiFi network menu and I don't need that. I need to change the MAC address of the wlan0 and tether my mobile connection with that MAC. When I change the MAC with those apps in the play store, they revert to the original one when I start tethering.

Nevermind, I hard bricked my phone and I couldn't revive it using the 300k ohm jig or button combo. It can't even reach download mode, so I'm screwed because I can't buy another phone.

Captivate back alive! Now I have it with CM 7.2 with Glitch Kernel 13.1 and I can't find the nvram file. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

Nobody? I've been flashing a lot of roms and kernels to see if I can find the file ".nvmac.info" but still nothing, and the app of WiFi Tehter 3.4 Experimental still doesn't spoof the wireless MAC address. Please, ¿what can I do? Thanks in advance.

Bump! Does anybody know?
I'm trying the same things with my Note 2. I can spoof the MAC address in the terminal. But! as soon as I start tethering it uses the original MAC address of the device. There must be a reason for this. I've tried many apps out there but can only change the MAC address in wifi mode, as soon as I start tethering, it uses the origianl MAC address.
Anyone else experimenting with this?

on Thethering it uses different Mac for me so the "Original" MAC Address isn't used for thethering it is a different one
