I did this process base on the following link:
"( https://geekeasier.com/change-mac-address-in-android-devices-without-root/4792/ )
Now, that we know our MAC address and the connection name, we can go on to change the MAC address with this terminal emulator only. Before that you should have a valid MAC address in your mind or generate one from this link. Once, you have a new MAC address, just get on with the below steps:
- Launch the Terminal Emulator
- Just type the following command: ip link set wlan0 address XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY, where wlan0 is the name of the interface and XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY is the MAC address you want to set.
- Important thing to keep in mind that the manufacturer name should be kept unchanged while changing the MAC address i.e. XX:XX:XX (first 6 digits) should be same as before, otherwise you might face a lot of authentication issue.
- This is only a temporary change and when you restart your device, your previous MAC address will be retrieved back."
I have an error "Operation not permitted"
What should I do now?
Well, I don’t think you can. At least you shouldn’t be able to.
Dear Dr. Israel A. C. Noletto ,
Thanks for your contribution.
Just change group of User to Root.. and change authorization of user maybe u can change the MAC from terminal
.
Dear Dr. Kafi Ramadhani Borut ,
Thank you for your attention, time and respond.
I think without a rooted device it's not possible to spoof a MAC address on Android because on "end-user mode", you don't have enough privilege.
If you need, to change your MAC Address of your device, you should perhaps consider to root your it.
Regards
Thank you dear Dr. Jocelyn De Goër De Herve for your contribution and beneficial guidance.
This method allows for MediaTek chipset.These days most of the phone comes with Snapdragon chipset so the way to change mac is rooted method.
