Enter the engineering mode, then you can find "internal" item and BT Mac address is under it. You can change to anything you want.

is it this one *#1546792*# and select no4 internal? but it need password? do you know the password?

[Guest gosiunia1]

1. type: *#1546792*#

2. choose "Internal"

3. Type as pwd: *#0807#

4. choose Bloototh MAC address (or BT Mac Adress - I don't remember correct name)

5. type pwd: 1234

6. Set MacAdress

7. Execute

Of course you do it at your own risk!

[Guest lysiong]

can just put any mac address? ? is there a default one?

there is not default value, the MAC address is unique for each device

[Guest Man12529]

there is not default value, the MAC address is unique for each device

erm since my bluetooth mac address is gone... how to get back the orginal unique value?

[Guest cumonifyoucan]

THX for FAQ to chance the bluetooth mac adress.

after a rom update my mac adress on omnia2 was also FF.FF....... and after this i cant make a internet sharing with bluetooth to my notebook.

after chance to a "normal" bluetooth MAC adress now is working fine.

any means of finding the orignal mac address?

any means of finding the orignal mac address?

My bluetooth mac address is like (UK I8000 2GB):

60 d0 a9 ca 3? c?

(you can use hex, any 0-9 and/or a-f instead of ?).

So a valid bluetooth addres would be 60 d0 a9 ca 3b c3, for example.

A mac address is only an identifier.

The first 3 bytes are manufacturer identifier (in this case 60 d0 a9). So, basically this means you can use practically anything. Even 12:34:56:78:9a:bc is a valid mac address.

I also found out that my wireless mac is FF FF FF FF FF FF. It works like that, but I'm pretty sure it had a good value previously.

Anyone willing to share their first 4 bytes of the wifi mac? (Or you can PM me) Thanks!

LE: Scratch the above. It's showing correctly after soft reset

If anyone needs a valid wireless mac, they can use 00 21 19 9B A? 5? (? - see above).

What would happen if you have to each other 2 devices with cloned MAC addreses and they try to connect them with a third bluetooth device? Or even among themselves?

Would the world collapse? :P

:huh:

[Guest bfree2run]

For those of you that can't enter in engineered mode (like me..keep getting the message ...failed) you can manually change it with a registry editor..

IT Located in HKLM/SOFTWARE/SAMSUNG/WIFI - That's where it located in my Samsung Omnia Pro GT-B7610

sorry this is for wifi mac adress...my bad. :D
