How can I find my MAC address?

Question

I'm using a Samsung Young Duos GT-S6102. My phone that shows nothing in Settings → About Phone so my question is how to find my MAC address?

Answer 1

You can run ip address from a terminal or adb shell to get the MAC address. Specifically, ip address show wlan0 will give you the MAC for the Wi-Fi chip on most devices. The address is shown after link/ether on the second line:

22: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP qlen 1000
link/ether a0:b1:c2:d3:e4:f5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.0.12/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global wlan0
inet6 ab01::c23d:45ef:ab67:89c0/64 scope link
   valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Thanks to Firelord for this suggestion.

Another alternative:

If you have BusyBox installed, you can run busybox ifconfig. That will give output similar to the following (note the HWaddr on the first line):

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr A0:B1:C2:D3:E4:F5
          inet addr:192.168.0.12  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: ab01::c23d:45ef:ab67:89c0/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:993 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:747 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:904409 (883.2 KiB)  TX bytes:125749 (122.8 KiB)

If you don't have busybox you could try running ifconfig alone, but the version on my device has no output (and ifconfig wlan0 just shows the IP address).

Answer 2

In addition to the solutions from Matthew and Vivek, using a terminal emulator app or using adb shell, do

getprop ro.boot.wifimacaddr

It would give you the MAC address for your wireless chip.

Alternatively, check the contents of the file /sys/class/net/wlan0/address:

cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/address

That should give you the MAC address. Make sure you have your Wi-Fi turned on before you see the contents of that file. For some reason, I got a different MAC address when Wi-Fi was turned off in my stock Android 6.0.1

If you've BusyBox installed, you can also do:

busybox iplink show wlan0

Output:

5: wlan0:  mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 3c:42:66:c4:d5:14 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Again, keep Wi-Fi enabled.

Answer 3

Check settings > WiFi . From there click three dot or option key and navigate to advance settings. There you will find Mac address of your device.
