How to set MAC address on (HTC Desire) Android terminal emulator? I typed into the terminal this:


  ip link set eth0 address
  XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX


the XX for my numbers and so on.

But it says permission denied.

This seems like your terminal doesn't have root access. Is your phone rooted? and did you type su to get to the root user first? On my phone you can tell if you're using root privileges by checking the prompt, $ = no root, # = root.
