Need Help from the Knowledgeable - Spoofing Mac Address

[theskyinyourey]

Hey there androidforums community,

I've been trying to research for days on how to spoof a MAC address on droid with up to no results. If you could help me out, I would really greatly appreciate it. I'm trying to get a phone that runs on tmobile that I'd be able to spoof my mac address while allowing my computer to run off the wifi hotspot.

So, here are my questions:

1.) What is the cheapest phone I could buy with android that is tmobile compatible and is of ease to change the MAC address?

2.) How would I spoof the MAC address on such a phone?

Thanks, really need some direction.

Hello there!

To my knowledge, whilst not technically illegal, MAC Spoofing is very much a questionable activity and can be used for illegal purposes.

Also, discussing WiFi Tethering without a specific plan goes against the Site Rules & Guidelines:

Tethering without a carrier required required plan is theft of services. You are stealing from the carrier. It goes beyond modifying your own personal device.

This is something we are not willing to help members do. Much like talk of how to work the system to return devices you've broke, etc. That too is theft.

Some say, "well, rooting is against the TOS, so....". Rooting, if against the TOS, could result in a suspended account. That is on you and your responsibility and we're willing to aide in letting you make that choice. It is your device, you should have that choice.

These issues aren't related to rooting in this sense and shouldn't be compared as such. This is a decision made by the owner of this privately run site, which we have the right to do and enforce.

Risking your device == ok.
Theft == not okay.

As such, I hope you understand it's not something we can really give advice on. Feel free to PM me if you'd like further clarification.
