Build date / batch number / production date - Nexus 7 General

How can we know the build date or batch number or production date of the Nexus 7 that we bought?
If you know, could you please post it here? And state if you have no problem with it.
Thanks.

Check out this teardown video. He shows the date code on the PCB somewhere in the video... Hope this helps.

AMOLED or SLCD, Can I search by ESN#?

Maybe by the date that it was built and know what dates the AMOLED produced and what dates the SLCD were. Is this possible to determine.

You can also type "dmesg" into a terminal emulator, and scan the results.
AMOLED will show up as "samsung_oled_panel" in a number of places.
Not sure what SLCD will show up as...

As for SLCD screen... the dmesg will show "sony_tft_panel" in few places as well.

[Q] What's the model code label behind the battery?
Can some one please provide us the exact model code, from the label behind the battery compartment in the phone.
for example GT-I9000
it'll also be helpful to include the manufacture date, something like 10.12
thanks
Code
GT-I9001
There's no date on the label, but there's a date on the battery: 2011/06/09 (y/m/d)

the date of the phone manufactured is usually located at the bottom of the S/N and IMEI bar codes

Yeah, well it wasn't, sorry.
Checking / unchecking the " protect ops" did the trick for me... If your flash hangs, try again with the other option.

I had similar problem (got stuck in 7/15 ext4)... i changed computer and cable... my 9001 is now 2.3.4 and rooted.
Yeah, there isn't anything about manufacturing date.
Only this stuff:
Model: GT-I9001
SSN: -I9001GSMH
FCC ID: A3LGTI9001
Imei & ssn.
I saw manufacturing date somewhere but i've flashed my phone allready... Can someone check: Settings.. Info. If i remember correctly it was there.
[Q] Will the i9001 Lagfix come out?
Will it comes out or not?
i guess Samsung changed the way how they mark the manufacturing date.
it used to be like that for all their other phones, including the Nexus S
Please don't post questions here in development section. A separate thread is made by the mod for Q&A only.

how are you guys updating the phone to 2.3.4? i'm on 2.3.3 and i tried connecting to kies and it said that i am on the latest firmware...
No problem about date, i liked your review as i was considering both. Thanks
I used: ODIN 4.4.3. (Aries VE)
Heard something that they're using that same program in repair shops.
You will lose all your data from phone if you update. Played games, txt messages etc.
When I rooted my phone I saw that battery life is shorter than before? Is it possible ? Before root battery holds 2 days now is only one, and sometimes it has much problem with it. When I leave phone on entire night about 8 hours it eats 20-25% battery, before maybe 10%. I attached 2 screenshot of working my phone at night (this is after root, I don't have before root), this phone was unpluged before I went to bed.
[Q] Wich version do you have
i have bought an i9001. i have xxKG1 on it. It's a 2.3.3. Are there others with this version. Any bugs???
XXKP4, 2.3.4.
At least these versions exist:
Europe:
I9001XEKE8
I9001XXKF8
I9001XXKP4
I9001XXKG3
Provider:
I9001BOKF6
Arabic:
I9001JPKF7
I9001JPKG1
Source: samfirmware
it is possible that after root you started an app which was running overnight and your battery life has been eaten because of that...try killing all the running apps and check if it still continues.
Personally, i've had experience with loads of devices and even though if "SuperUser" is consuming battery, it is not by much !
XXKF8 with 2.3.3 (Netherlands)
Strange that my version can't be found on samfirmware.
O yeah. I live in Belgium. (Flanders)

Still interesting. Whats the build number on that phone? Sounds like you have one that either missed getting updated before being shipped, or an old one from the back of the store room. Who knows, might have the code for "Always listening" Google now hiding under all the bugs?

its all up there in that one screen shot i put in build number and everything.
I emailed the seller waiting to either return it or just update it myself.
Well, I came into this thread expecting completely different results.
OP, do a system dump and upload it. Maybe there are some goodies on there that we can use. It seems you've got your hands on a test/debug build of Android. Does the phone hardware look like it should? "nexus" printed on the back, area where the IMEI sticker should be, etc.?

yup its legit sticker on the screen IMEI sticker on the back i switch it on and the boot animation was from the first build of ICS only it was cropped in the middle of the screen then to my surprise i'm running Keylime pie. Ive never done a system dump before i'm on this other thread now figuring out how to flash stock kit kat. It's frustrating. You're like "this is not what i paid for" you know?

Maybe don't buy a brand-new device second-hand.
That's always a bad sign. Either the device had issues and they're too lazy to return it or it's fake...possibly they don't like it but there's probably reasoning behind that to merit immediately selling a $400 phone a week max after receiving it.
That's REALLY strange. Kinda cool. I think you got a test device.

Where did you see he got it second hand?
Interesting. Under "Model Number" it also says "AOSP on Hammerhead". Also why would it say "KeyLimePie" instead of an actual number like "4.4" under Android Version. Something odd is going on here.

Hold up on that. At least do a system dump first.
If you don't know how use this guide.

If you don't have the android SDK go here and download the platform tools attached in the 8th comment and open command line there then follow that guide.

Also you need to enable android debugging.

Going to also say "Do a system dump" simply because A) You seem to be one of the very "lucky" few to have an older device and B) Who knows what kind of things are hiding in that system image.
I mean, its your phone and you paid for it so I don't blame you for wanting to just flash KitKat onto it. However, that system image could benefit the development community somehow. Either way, this is really interesting.
Looks like a test build for sure - if you google sangjoon84.lee you'll find that kernel build referenced in all the FCC info and prior N5 leaks.
Don´t update it for Pete´s sake, that might be a treasure! "Early Development device" ...in 10 years that´s gonna be worth something on ebay!

I just checked that aswell. It's weird though because other mentions of it have KyeLimePie whereas this screenshot shows it spelt correctly.

This isn't the first time a non shipping build came with a nexus phone.
In fact, all of our N5's shipped with key lime pie. It just forced an update at setup.
The reason why this didn't update is its not in an OTA path. Its a test build.

OP if you are willing to dump the system image for us here are some easy steps on doing that.
Download the Android tools here
All you have to do is dump the contents of the zip onto your C: directory. Enable USB debugging on your phone and plug it in via USB. Then open CMD prompt and type:
CD C:\
You should then see
C:\
Now just type:
adb.exe pull /system/
This will dump the image which you can then zip and share later if you wanted. I would advise doing a dump seeing as how this is extremely rare. Again though, its your call.
Is it already unlocked? Would be wild if this was just some Google employee's test device for a couple weeks or simmering!

Is my note 5 fake? 😐

Hi all, i just bought a second hand note 5. Here are the problems.
S pen does not click out and have to you use your nail.
Google apps error while retrieving information from server. (RH-01)
Downloaded antutu benchmark 5.7.5 apk and showed a score of 18000!
Startup of phone shows jelly beans going into a jar and no mention of samsung. Did he install custom rom?
Is there a test to see if its fake?
Please help. Thanks
It can be the s pen broken
It can be a custom rom
It can be fake
Download samsung phone info and verify

I mean fake ones wouldnt be QHD, would be very slow, low benchmark obviously and it should never be able to run jelly bean.. if you go to about phone, you'll see software info, status, battery info, they should have N920 in them (specially baseband). Download an app like hardware info for more information about the device. But from what you described, it looks to be fake.

Fake IMEI number, Fake serial number.
The baseband leads to a website called 'CloneROM' which doesn't seem promising either.
You have a fake phone.

Changing the IMEI and serial number will be dependent on the hardware, a custom ROM will not change those.

I can't answer that question since that isn't my expertise. I would advise you to contact the seller of the phone and file a complaint.

You will obviously state what issues you have with the device.
That the device is fake.
It's certainly 100% fake. The site for CloneRom seems to be made for Chinese fake phone makers, What they all have in common is they use a octocore MediaTek (Which Samsung would NEVER use)
https://www.clonerom.com/category/galaxy-note-5
Also if you look at the base band date, it's from 2014. The Note 5 was officially released in Aug or so 2015 which is a dead give away it's fake. Also the IMEI is fake and could actually be blocked by carrier as there could be duplicates with that IMEI so they'll just block the phone so it doesn't take down the network. Each IMEI needs to be UNIQUE.
Go get your money back ASAP and buy a REAL Note 5 or Galaxy S7
Tell the guy you checked out the CPU, It's not meant to be a MediaTek (Only Exynos).
It's Running Kitkat instead of Lollipop.
It's got a bad Serial number and also bad IEMI (which is the worst thing)
stab him :| (after you take your money back)

S/N decoding / How to figuring out the manufacturing date?

Hi guys!
How can I decode the S/N number to get to know the mfr date of the device?
It came with 10.0 + 2.1(UI) out of the box; is it a refurb. model?
It feels a brand new one, got from a mobile-operator (Telekom). IMEI check said 2020-07-21(edit: corrected the date) its a bit unbelievable me.(Is the S10 series still under production? Wow)
edit: *#12580*369# --> RF.call: 20200720
Thanks
Install the phone info app from play store and it should tell you the manufacturing date on the first page
edit: the app also has a "Refurbishment Check" which you may use to check to confirm your device's identity

Yes confirmed by local experience store and servics center, S10 is still under production after the info I get I searched after just cause of curiosity If they have ever posted or announced that, and I was suprised:

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsu...rades-for-the-Galaxy-S10-series.453826.0.html
This + the recently announced 3 main version upgrade for their phones (that means S10 will still get android 12) make them way way consumer friendlier than anything before.
Changing from a P20 to an S10 now really feels like a pretty awsomse move.

thanks, i'll check out the app. i've also seen 3 major upgrades for 10+.
the problem with the 3rd upgrade is the s10+ has ancient hardware by that time.
Ancient? I dont think so this hw is 1,5 years old, the almost 3 years old Snap 845 is still a solid chipset for example if u are not gaming all day on your phone.
Nowdays chipsets are only evolving via benchmark perfomances the real speed difference through the system quicknes and stability is almost unnoticable for an average user if the system upgrade has been made optimized correctly.
