I want to change my mobiles MAC address because it got blacklisted at school. I have tried some apps from the market, but none of them are working. I have rooted my phone (Huawei Ascend Y300) with a custom ROM and installed Busybox from market. I found these links helpful, but none of them worked:

How to change the (permanent) MAC address on my android phone?
So, I tried to set my MAC address in terminal. I typed in su
, then it requested root access. After granting the superuser permission, I typed busybox iplink show eth0
. However, it returned an error:
iplink: applet not found
I don't know what to do. I tried both links above, but none of them worked. I know one of them is about another command, but I tried replacing it with iplink
.
I think there is something wrong with Busybox. It installs its stuff to /system/xbin
, and maybe it's the problem, but maybe I'm wrong, I don't know.
Could someone explain to me why, and how to do it correctly?
