I've been offered a Dual SIM HTC One, however I don't know the seller.
Are there a couple of test to check it's a genuine phone rather then a knock off copy?
Perhaps a google app that checks the processor and resolution or other identifiers?
Quality of build is subjective so that won't do it for me.

I guess id ask to check the phone and see the contents of the "about phone" part. Maybe run a benchmark app and see if everything is fine. antutu or quadrent willbe able to tell you the processor info for sure. Make sure both speakers work too. lol

also check build quality, check zoe, enter bootolader and verify if is an htc bootloader
If you have the chance to connect it to a PC run fastboot getvar all and verify that the model numbers match up to legit versions of the phone.
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.

Sorry...you have probably a fake note 5.
Check for sure the following application to check the phone informations.

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)

Hi thanks, It lags when watching youtube videos. It shudders trying to play. The phone is really laggy.
Hi all, used cpu-z to list info. What do you think?

Hi guys, i need your help. i just got my phone and both the phone and fingerprint is running on WW rom, but when i try to manually install it, it says system update failed
Note: i used device info HW to check them
Is your phone's tencent version that is supposed to have CN ROM? If so then return them directly since any tencent versions that comes with WW ROM is unofficial and may not have valid warranty. Never buy tencent version with WW ROM.
Asus have stated very clear on their forum that any tencent with WW ROM is not official device and that Asus do not produce any tencent version with WW ROM.
These phones have mostlikely been opened and person has reflashed Them to WW ROM and then resealed the packaging and then sold them online.

Are you trying to update to to 1910.44? If so, you need to flash the raw .44 rom, run flashall_AFT.cmd from the unzipped folder extracted to c drive and remove the original zip from that same folder... You need to do this in fastboot mode
my phone actually comes with WW rom fully. the package is sealed so i dont think it was opened and changed by them.
As for the update, i waa trying to update to the 1910_35 version, but failed
is there any way to check which rom it was in initially?

If it's Tencent version, then it definitely came with CN ROM & WW was flashed and the phone sealed up.
But that shouldn't be a problem. Ignore what Asus said as posted by @Jake S. That isn't an issue - I can't count the hundreds of thousands of region-specific devices flashed with global ROM without issues. Matter of fact, my 12GB/512GB is on the way (CN changed to WW).
Flash the raw. 44 first like @reg66 said & you'll be good.
All the best

You're welcome, enjoy:good:
I believe I have the same version of the phone as stated here. My phone info says 16.0640.1908.12 it has the August 2019 security update.
I bought the 12G/512G version on ebay that was shipped to me from New Jersey.
I have been enjoying the phone a lot for a week, but would like to fix the few problems that the phone gives me. Like not being able to get Netflix from the Playstore. Also some apps give errors that did not in my Note 9. Like youtube will not load while I'm out of wifi range in 4G data. All other apps stream data fine. And i can play CoD Mobile fine, but Youtube won't load anything. But funny enough it will work through Chrome lol.
My question, before i keep rambling, can i do the update to this new 1910.44 by just loading the update on my phone and rebooting? Will this update fix some of the problems i have been having? Or do i need to do a flash? Will this wipe all my data???
Or is it worth doing the other tutorial that you edit files in the code of the phone to change the fingerprint and stuff.
Ive never done anything like that to a phone, so i am hesitant to change anything. I would prefer the easiest solution of just downloading an update and letting the phone load it on its own.
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

TBH, there isn't an "easiest solution" for you unless the problem with your phone isn't a big one.
Starting off with the YouTube, can you check mobile data and confirm the app has access to it not only Wi-Fi? Alternatively, download YouTube Vanced and see if it works fine. I strongly believe there's something wrong with your YouTube app settings nothing to do with the phone itself.
Now to the main issue:
We cannot say if you can or cannot because we have no idea what you have in your hands.
You have to check out your version and also fingerprint if they are both WW then you can go ahead and download the file to the root of your phone and follow the instructions (restart), if fortunately it works, then we good else, you'll have to flash raw then do the steps.
NOTE: To check your current fingerprint, download and install device HW info from the playstore. Under 'system' you'll find the current rom (CN or WW), the product id and fingerprint versions. When you have that confirmed, we'll know where to go from there.
Yes I believe you'll be a bit sceptical due to fears but if you do have a PC that's all you need. Take a deep breath and dive in the deep end
That's how I reluctantly (more like scared) began rooting and flashing of ROMs now I do a bit of modding myself.
Please check serial number your phone and serial number in the box. The serial number may not match.
I will definitely take in to consideration the suggestions.
I checked the youtube app and nothing seemed wrong in the settings, and like i mentioned, all other apps like Pandora, IG, Waze, and Chrome are working fine on 4G.
But there are other issues like some notifications not being pushed even though i have notifications turned on for all apps. Even my text message notifications aren't coming through, even though my phone vibrates, and my Garmin watch tells me i got a text, my phone won't show i have a notification, i have to go in the app. Same happens on WhatsApp.
But i digress... The good thing is that the seller on eBay has returns for 30 days. So selling, in what i can only describe as "defective software" phone, should definitely qualify for a return. I will then search for a proper Global unlocked version of the phone.
I think one sure way to tell out of the box should be that the back of the phone should say "Republic of Gamers" instead of Tencent Games right?
I really wanted to try to fix all the issues on my own through the phone, but i do not have the courage to mess with the phone codes. And also i see everyone describing the methods on PC/Windows. I only have Mac computers at home and at work.
Unless anyone knows someone in the Los Angeles area that can do it??? hahaha. I would be willing to pay for the service of course.
Thanks for the help guys!!!

It's good that you have a 30 - day return window.
You should know that even the Tencent version has 12GB/512GB variant.

Yes i just realized that now that i started reading in this forum. At first i thought that the Tencent version was only the 8gb/128gb, and all the bigger ones were global. Now i see that mine is a larger Tencent variant like you say.
So as long as the back says Republic of Gamers, thats a good start right? As long as i don't get another that is marked Tencent on the back?

Well, for your situation (wanting a full global ROM (WW) with global fingerprint (WW) OOB), getting the global version ie Republic of Gamers variant is a good start.
But for lots of us who are conversant with flashing, getting the Tencent variant is as good as the other one.
Oh, and after a bit of research, I believe the issue with your phone is even though the ROM has been changed to WW, the fingerprint is still CN.
Changing the fingerprint to WW will solve the YouTube problem and also update.

Dude are you stupid or what? You should not ignore what Asus states. Buying a unofficial device with ww ROM off tencent won't be valid for warranty and Asus clearly stated that. Since device has been opened and reflashed with ww ROM and device is only in valid warranty when it has official rom and not have been reflashed over to another rom that the device shouldn't have. So please don't lie to people like that next time.
Asus will fully reject his device under warranty if he sends it in for repairs under warranty request. Since they will state clearly that his device has WW ROM and not CN ROM that it supposed to have. So then warranty is voided.

Why is there the need to insult me - calling me stupid. Sometimes, I fail to understand why you kids of nowadays feel the need to fly off the handle insulting people you don't know.
Furthermore, it neither addresses the issue at hand nor solve it.
Please, learn to be civil and respectful in your future engagements. Not only does it show your maturity, ethical and moral values but it also depicts what you stand for.
Now back to the issue:
1. Every mobile company is aware that many of its devices will be sold through third-party outlets many of which are not directly connected to them. Matter of fact, hundreds of thousands of these devices per manufacturer go through these channels making a total of millions of devices.
2. I don't know about you but I've been using mobile phones for two decades. Funny thing is none of them failed so bad to need replacement except LG v10 which I bought from T-mobile in the US but did the warranty help my bootloop? No, the replacement also got bootlooped and after all the hassles and whatnot, there was no benefit to me.
3. You should understand that these sellers like on AliExpress purchase hundreds of thousands of these devices with warranty.
In that stead, they also do notify you of a year's warranty.
4. Regardless of your warranty (from company itself, retailer or third-party merchant), there are limitations to what you can demand. Eg, physical damage, moisture/water ingress etc.
5. With regard to above point, hope you know that whenever we modify the software aspect of a mobile device (unlocked bootloader, region change, rooting etc) in which we have to send in for any reason, we just undo the procedure before sending in.
On a final note, in as much as I respect your argument, I'm sorry to still stand against it. Probably for you, warranty is a deal breaker but it isn't for me cos I don't wish to exercise the option of warranty. But that notwithstanding, even these merchants you're on about sell devices with a year's warranty.

Not very cool calling someone stupid dude. Anyway,, regarding warranty, assuming it's purchased from a good outlet, they are responsible for the warranty, mine, for example is with giztop for 1 year. But if the phone does go belly up, I'm probably **** out of luck as I leave the bootloader unlocked, for root. But that's a choice /risk I'm taking...
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.

Hi all,
I’ve got this phone from China (via Aliexpress) with original Chinese firmware. All technical specs match the description included in the initial release except the amount of volatile memory: mine has 8gb. That is what seller advertised as well but I couldn’t believe until I received it. Pretty good phone for a child for its price. The only problem is that Google family app doesn’t work (like on all phones for China) and I can only select between English and Chinese languages. Thinking to flash EURETEU firmware, but only concerned that the device ID is different (last digit). Any questions and advices are warm welcome.
Show both Id's?
I reckon if its for your fone, and your a flasher lol, go ahead.
The end digit could mean anything without seeing it..?

Thank you for responding and sorry for keeping silent. XT2137-1 is the ID of the Global version. Mine has got XT2137-2
I haven`t tried flashing it yet, but will probably give it try soon
Just use Motorola's recovery tool. Nothing will happen if you switch firmware.
