Hi guys!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 rooted. I'm not able to change its mac address by using Mac Changer from Google Play. I was able to change it using my latest phone, a Samsung Galaxy S4. The app says couldn't change mac address using hard change. If I try to use simple change it says changed but didn't change as well.
I've read many topics about it, there're few solutions to change it but neither of them have solved my problem.
Before you ask me, I need to change its mac address because I can't connect to my company's wifi using the stock one.
Can somebody help me?
Have you tried any other software ? Did you give the mac changer superuser permissions ? Ill help to troubleshoot.

is that the wifi mac changer in playstore by Osama Abukmail? neither simple or hard is not working for me. I was able to change it twice and then after some updates (not mac changer), it totally does not work anymore.
could you give me the details of your device? I also saw a good one but stilll, it does not work on my device.
i saw another app and i think this is much better if you manage to make it work on your device.
[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.xnano.android.changemymac&hl=en
its free and gives you the option to save profile that wifi mac changer does not provide if your version is not premium
[Update]
Im still working on my way to use Wifi Mac Changer by Osama Abukmail. Also now its totally FREE! Anyone can use all the features already.
But with this update when I do Hard change, its turning on and off my wifi twice. Still does'nt work for me. Anyone here having the same issue?

I 've found several threads talking about android with ad hoc networking problem. I 've also downloaded wpa_supplicant file and replaced the original one. But it can not work on my Galaxy Tab P1010 wifi version. Could someone help create a wifi version wpa_supplicant file? That will be much appreciated.
they've just released the WiFi version so it'll be a waiting game for us SGT Wifi version owners.

Do you guys know if all the current roms and installation procedures will work without changes on a Galaxy P1010 Wifi version?
Thanks.
^^ i haven't dared tried using it though .. there might be a compatibility issue and i might end up having my SGT as a paperweight.
but seriously, i would love to but is there a way to restore the SGT to its original state in case something goes wrong? does KIES allow that? 'coz in my Mini Pro, if something goes wrong, i can always use PC Companion / SEUS to reload the OS.
I'm looking forwards to this adhoc wifi on my GTab Wifi too.
I 've also downloaded wpa_supplicant file and replaced the original one. But it can not work on my Galaxy Tab P1010 wifi version. Is it wifi version or 3G version's "wpa_supplicant" file is compatibility?
I'm looking forwards to this adhoc wifi on my GTab Wifi too.
So far I have tried every version of wpa_supplicant and no luck. The best results I got were from version 0.6.10. My SGT can see the ad-hoc connection. it connects but fails to obtain and IP.
I hope someone can get a fix for this. I realy don't want to pay for interent on two devices.
Hmm.... That's really weird. I'm not Dev, but the WPA_supplicant file ought to solve that problem.... Unless they (samsung) have blocked Ad-Hoc in the kernel. That would suck. I'd try a Voodoo kernel and see if that helps. $0.02.
Can someone post the wpa_supplicant from the wifi version? Im not the best with this stuff but ill give it a go.

Thanks so much for this tread, was having the same problem. Hope someone will figure this out soon.. would love to use my Sgt p1010 on ad Hoc. thanks in advance.
hey everyone give this a try first
try this using terminal on your galay tab to change the permissions
download a terminal program from the market. when terminal is started type the following command below.
Su
Chmod 777 system/bin/wpa_supplicant
and see if it will connect.
If not I pulled the Nookcolors WPA_Supplicant file that has been edited. It is a wifi only device so it might work for you guys. What I am going to do is compare the regular tabs WPA file to Wifi only version and see what needs to be edited.
Donetus I haven't forgotten you.
Tried chmoding the wpa file with no luck. Thanks for the suggestion. Larry

actually, the wpa adhoc-ed we got for the galaxy tab is coming from the galaxy S forums, so if anyone wants to ring some bells...
I tried Nook color WPA_supplicant file and G Tab started showing available network as well as ad-hoc network however it was not able to connect to network. was failing at acquiring IP address!
That is a good thing as we are closer. I really need to get off my ass and try to fix it now. Gotta be just a few lines that need editing then. Did you try doing a chmod after you used the nookcolors wpa file. Try that I put the commands in the upper post.

I've been searching all over the place for several days and I've found that changing the build.prop file would change items in the marketplace. So I've changed the following to : ro.product.model=Desire HD and yet the game Order And Chaos still doesn't show up. So i'm just wondering if there are any ways to possibly fix this??
Im using Typhoon CM7 v3.3.9
Thanks in advance!

Go in /data/mac.info. I dont exactly remember the file but there would be a file which would have mac in its name and it will be the first file... Edit it and save it after that delete the .bak file also

As a workaround, this could be done with a init.d script.

no they dont
you'll have the same MAC address even if you flashed roms, or flashed stock via odin
MAC address is in the hardware embedded in the phone, and its hard to change it without the high risk of hard bricking the device
Does anyone knows how ?

Also in PC all passwords are hashed
on 7, 8 and 10 go to network properties and there you have hashed password with option to show symbols

Did you try to add a new wifi network to your list, to see if the new one will be hashed?
Because on marshmallow only the new passwords that you put in after editing the build.prop were not hashed and the old ones were still hashed.

In both cases i get hashs.?
When i was in Marshmallow i edited build.prop and everything was ok but now in Nougat when edit it and restart i get a slow device with forgetting all old wifi passwords.
I know there are another way to fix this issue.?

Maybe you could try this change ro.config.tima from 1 to 0.
I saw this helped with s health maybe this will also help you

That really sucks because I wanted to update to nougat but if this feature is not available. I'm not going to update.
Maybe there are other people on nougat that have a solution for this.

my college doesn't allow me to add more than 2 Mac addresses for a single user. I have 3 devices.
Googling "android change mac address" gives to you tons of guides. There are also some apps on Play store that did the trick for rooted devices.

Have you tried this guide? Giving command with a terminal, even if it fails gives some hint on the reason of the problem.
