Photon 4g Mac Changer

[JMC31337]

NOTE: I'm not responsible for yo phone

Got Root?

After seeing all the ifconfig methods to change a mac address i went searching for a file that has it...

head into

/system/etc/firmware/wifi/pds

there, you will see one file .bin

hexdump -C (-C is canonical format) [FILE]

showed me the mac address in hex format of the file

so in order to actually write to the "system" partition you need to do:

mount -ro remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk(X)p(Y)
where X and Y is the # printed off the display of the mount command -> /system

In this case the file was wlan_mac.bin
and hexdump -C * showed
the hard coded WIFI MAC ADDRESS to my photon



maybe a program like C4Droid/HexEditor will give ya the resources to change this MAC ADDRESS ... and ill post if i manage to do it myself

after using hexeditor.apk i changed the mac address

however, the apps system phone wifi display says MAC unavailable
then once i turned the wifi on the new address took effect

this does require hexediting then REBOOTING to take effect... (slight drawback compared to ifconfig -but as soon as yu get disconnected with an ifconfig method and try to connect again, the mac address reverts back to stock-)
