su command not working, eventhough I am rooted

Question

My problem is that my rooted android phone with Terminal Emulator app doesn't seem to be executing the 'su' command correctly.
I am trying to execute this command, after having executed the 'su' command:



busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:0a:95:9d:68:16


which returns this:



ifconfig: SIOCSIFHWADDR: Operation not permitted


I think this issue is caused by not having root rights, although I did execute 'su'. I noticed the '$' didn't change to a '#', that indicates you have root rights.



My Motorola Moto G first gen. is running Cyanogenmod with android 6.0.1



I enabled root for apps under developers options.



This is the guide I'm using: Spoofing MAC address. Some people encountered the same issue, but no solution was found.



Anyone know how to get root working on Terminal Emulator app? Any help is appreciated!

Answer

It didn't work for me using Gboard (Google's Keyboard), so I tried Samsung's Keyboard (use the system's default keyboard) and it worked.
