In the settings, it says that the name of the device is Galaxy s7, and the model writes - SM-G920F.
You won't get far with that kind of information. The original will show similar data. You look at the data from MTKDroidTools, if the program detects your device and shows the data - 100% clone, and then we'll figure it out further.

MTK Droid is not detecting my phone. I can only throw off the information from CPU-Z.

if the body is cut on MDT, then the preloader is alive and adb is running and the fastboot will start.
so get into the build prop to get started and stupidly google for the firmware.
Well, unless, of course, they didn’t demolish everything in a purely Nubian way.
that's when the preloader is demolished - this is already a problem, what to sew, if under the battery there is an iron frame with f11 stamping)
so if anyone here is a sucker, it's me - who took up this body (
Damn, you need an adb driver, and 64x processors - 92, 95, 35, 52, 53 she does not see.

92 95 sees, lied(
92 95 sees, lied(
He sees, but does not work with them. Enough to remove the data. I saw Meizu MX3 on Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5410.

Begin exploring it here, or check out the source code on GitHub (client, server).
Another Android device data set is the Android Device Inventory.
there is a utility for reading the build prop.

I once put it out of need, but then I took it down - the infection is simple.

This is all well and good, but it does not fit in with the problems described above. If the situation is such that MTKDroidTools does not see the device, then other utilities will also not be able to do this due to hardware limitations, not software ones. In the absence of communication with the hardware component, the software will not be able to play the role of a serving link.
it's good that there is. However, it is better to answer on the subject of a topic, or a specific post, and not in general, as you learn in some area.

Those. without taking it out of context.
earlier, in the year 11-12, the sellers themselves gave firmware (sources). Well, and not the last value of the availability of firmware is the uniqueness of the body - if it is a fake clone - the manufacturer simply does not shine.
Well, most of the available firmware are ROMs in zip format.
when neither the one in the body is already available / broken, nor infa from the build prop.

It is necessary to have aerobatics, darn to merge the firmware and find the markings in it, determine the percentages from it, etc.

but in general the author directly warned imnip that the program does not work with 64x.

Samsung Firmware Galaxy S7 (clone), flashing Chinese copy of samsung galaxy s7. The subject of discussion is categorized as: Firmware
Copy Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

Most often Chinese phones These are fake originals. Although low cost is perhaps a big plus, the downside is that many manufacturers do not care about good software devices.

When purchasing a Chinese Samsung, any buyer may encounter problems such as poor button operation, terrible Russification and long loading times. To correct all these shortcomings, you can use new firmware, which is not so difficult to install. In the article, we will figure out how to flash the Chinese Samsung on our own.

Installing new software

1. To install good firmware on your phone, you must first connect it to a computer. To connect, you may have to use a special cable that has converters. It is necessary when the signal strength of the phone does not match the signal strength of the computer. To connect, you can try to use even the most common USB cable. It is better to remove the SIM card before connecting.
2. Before the flashing process, it is best to save all the data, as this is a dangerous business and there is a possibility that the phone will not work after the operation.
3. Firmware should be done in Flash program Tool (you can download it).
4. After starting the program, you need to open the “Download Agent” tab and select the desired firmware in the window that appears. To load it into the program, you must use the "Scatter File" tab.
5. After all the settings, you need to start the firmware with the "Download" button.
6. Next, turn on the phone to check the result.

Information on how to choose the right firmware for your phone can be found in the article

Instructions for installing the official single-file firmware on the Samsung Galaxy A7 (SM-A700x).

Drivers and programs

Attention!

To install the official stock firmware on the Galaxy A7 and return the phone state ("Settings" > "About device" > "Properties" > "Device status") to "Official" after switching from custom firmware and thereby return the ability to receive updates over the air is enough follow the instructions provided.

Installation instructions

Download and install for your phone.
ATTENTION!
If already installed Samsung program Kies, you do not need to install drivers. You just need to completely unload Kies from memory, through the task manager, and then continue.

Disable option " Activation Lock» in the security settings of the device.

If the smartphone data has been encrypted, it must be decrypted.

Download and unzip the archive with the program to an arbitrary folder.
It is important that there is no Cyrillic in the path to the folder. For example, "C:\A7FW\".

Unzip the downloaded archive to a folder with Odin PC for convenience. The file in ".tar" or ".tar.md5" format must be left, but "SS_DL.dll" can be deleted.

Perform a data reset on the device.
To do this, go to the settings on the tab " Accounts » to the section « Archive and reset”, select the item “ Reset device” and press the button “ Delete everything". The phone will reboot.

Run Odin PC as administrator.

Put the device into download mode ( Download Mode).
To do this, simultaneously hold down the Volume Down, Home and Power keys. Then wait until the phone reboots and agree to the warning by pressing the Volume Up key.

In this state, connect the smartphone to the computer. In Odin, the inscription " COM».

Click on the button " AP» and select the TAR archive of the firmware.

Items « Auto Reboot" and " F.Reset Time" must be activated, a " Re-Partition", if active - must be disabled.

Click on the button " start". The firmware installation process will begin.

At the end of the operation, if everything went well, the message “All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)". The phone must be rebooted manually by holding down the power button until the screen turns off. The initial boot of the device may take up to 5 minutes.
ATTENTION!
If the device does not boot for a long time or a data reset has not been done, it must be performed from the recovery.
To do this, simultaneously hold down the Volume Up key, the Home button and the Power button. After downloading select " Wipe data/Factory reset", then - " Reboot system now". If after these steps the device also freezes at boot, you need to reflash it again.

Some "very frugal" buyers may run into such a thing as a copy of the Chinese-made Samsung Galaxy S7 based on one of the cheap Meditek processors, but with enticing (at first glance) characteristics. However, for all its attractiveness in practice, the replica can be very disappointing.

It should be noted that almost all top Samsung models, except, perhaps, the concept models of the Edge line due to the complexity of the curved screen technology. But as for copies of the Samsung Galaxy S7, they will be released for sure. Moreover, in most cases, their cost will be several times lower than that of the original. However, everything in practice comes at a cost.

No.1 S7 is a copy of Samsung, though not Galaxy S7, but Galaxy S5

First, any Samsung Galaxy S7 replica will have a weaker processor than the original. Forget about the incredible power of the Exynos 8890 or Snapdragon 820. Galaxy S7 copies will use cheap Chinese chipsets like MediaTek products, primarily MT6795 and MT6797 (and this is at best). In terms of speed, they are significantly inferior to Samsung and Qualcomm products, but much cheaper. In total, you will have to say goodbye to resource-intensive applications, especially games.

MediaTek MT6795 loses even to the old Snapdragon 801

Secondly, replica manufacturers traditionally save on components. Instead of 4 gigabytes random access memory a copy of the Samsung Galaxy S7 can get only 2 Gb or even just 1 Gb of RAM, instead of a built-in storage of 32 or more Gb - only 16 or even 8. But you will most likely get a memory card slot (which the Galaxy S7 has, but is paired on Dual-SIM models with a second SIM card slot).

The original Samsung Galaxy S7 is not so expensive

However, it may not exist either - recently even little-known Chinese smartphone manufacturers have refused MicroSD. Also, just say goodbye to "advanced" sensors like a heart rate monitor and a modern fingerprint scanner, just like with support for branded Samsung accessories. There is also fast and wireless charging.

Chinese manufacturers do not hesitate to deceive buyers by declaring the characteristics of the original

Thirdly, the screen. The bright and juicy Super-AMOLED matrix that Samsung is famous for, you definitely won’t wait for a copy of the Galaxy S7. A fake is a fake in China too. The resolution will also be clearly not 4K or QHD - at best. Instead of Gorilla Glass 4 or better new technology Turtle Glass - old versions of Gorilla Glass or even no protection at all.

Fourth, the camera. Most likely, the fake Samsung Galaxy S7 will lose optical image stabilization, with some degree of probability - autofocus, and the matrix used will be one of the cheapest. And even a crazy amount of megapixels will not save such a copy of the Galaxy S7, since it's not about megapixels.

Fifth, the software platform. The Galaxy S7 replica will almost certainly not have Samsung's own software, which makes it much easier to use a smartphone, more old version Android (Galaxy S7 expects the latest android version 6.0 Marshmalow), and the smartphone software itself will be much worse debugged. In general, it is almost certain that the software on a copy of the Galaxy S7 will slow down and actively fail, and updating the firmware, if possible, will be with big “dances with a tambourine”. In especially "severe" cases, you can meet the ancient Android 2.x, on which, moreover, it will not be possible to put something.

Sixth, the dimensions and material of the smartphone case. A fake Samsung Galaxy S7 will not necessarily exactly repeat the original dimensions of a smartphone, which immediately puts an end to compatibility with most accessories. Secondly, instead of a case made of glass and metal, a fake will most likely have cheap plastic with a “metal-like” coating.

Externally, the copy can look quite impressive, like this copy of the Galaxy S6 - Landvo S6

Seventh, technical support. More precisely, its complete absence for copies of the original Galaxy S7. Is it worth it?

Chinese copy of Samsung Galaxy S7 - for whom?

Consciously buying a replica of the Galaxy S7 can only be financially unencumbered by students who want to appear wealthy, or computer "geeks" who are interested in the fuss with the adjustment itself. The remaining cases of deliberate acquisition of fakes, as a rule, are isolated, and occur mostly out of curiosity.

But unscrupulous sellers often play on the ignorance of the buyer, and they can sell a fake Samsung Galaxy S7 under the guise of the original. Such cases take place every year, and buyers are not embarrassed even excessively. low price. However, it happens when scammers sell replicas at a price almost like the original. Therefore, we still advise you to go to a reliable seller, or at least first go to a Samsung branded store and get acquainted closely with the exact original model, ask to see the box and equipment.

Regarding those who want to buy the Chinese Samsung Galaxy S7, we believe that it is better to buy not a fake, but simply inexpensive smartphone from a good Chinese brand like OnePlus or Xiaomi.
