Identify your bootloader version:

While playing with AFTV2 tools quite a bit, I thought it'd be convenient to have some way to identify what bootloader version one has (given bricking implications & all). Doing checksums on the full TEE1 & UBOOT partitions is not very useful, because the empty area in the partitions may have junk, and that would impact the checksum. So something slightly different is needed.

Here is what I propose, one can read the first few bytes of TEE1 & UBOOT partitions, and then look at them with a hex editor. Fairly low tech, but there you go ... Unfortunately, "hexdump" is not present by default on Fire, so a few more manipulations are required. First, run this with adb (can also be read with AFTV2 tools):

Code:

---

adb shell
su
mkdir /sdcard/tmp/
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/tmp/04_uboot.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/tmp/09_tee1.img
cd /sdcard/tmp
md5 *.img
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/tmp

---

Then, with a hex editor (such as Frhed), look at the first few bytes of these images on your PC. On linux it's even easier, just do "cat -c 8 *.img | hexdump". You should see something like the following:

Code:

---

04_uboot.img: UBOOT: 88 16 88 58 b4 33 06 00 4c 4b 00 00 "LK"
09_tee1.img:  TEE1:  88 16 88 58 00 3c 10 00 54 45 45 00 "TEE"

---

The 4 bytes in red are key to identify the version. Please see the table below for the data I've compiled so far. Let's add to it as more versions become available/known (if your combination is not listed, please post here):

Code:

---

UBOOT
b4 33 06 00 5.2.2_053820 5.0.1
e4 3b 06 00 5.4.1_112720 5.1.1
38 34 06 00 5.4.2_168620 5.1.2
78 34 06 00 5.4.4_271020 5.1.4
b8 3c 06 00 5.5.2_153420 5.3.1.0

TEE1
00 3c 10 00 5.2.2_053820 5.0.1
00 3c 10 00 5.4.1_112720 5.1.1
00 3c 10 00 5.4.2_168620 5.1.2
00 3c 10 00 5.4.4_271020 5.1.4
90 84 11 00 5.5.2_153420 5.3.1.0

Help Identify original or refurbished Xperia Z3

Hello guys,
Someone offered me a new Xperia Z3, in fact i don't trust him that much.
My question is, is there is a way to identify the original phone?
In other brands there is some code called reconditioned "RTN" that identify if phone was refurbished or repaired before, is there any similar code that
works for Xperia Series ?

Thanks

Can anyone identify this Android Head Unit?

Can anyone identify this Android Head Unit? I am trying to find out if I can install 5.1.1 on it. It currently has has 4.4.4. The model number is AC8317. Kernal version: 3.4.35 root@ubuntu #51 Thu Apr 28 10:41:26 CST 2016. I am not to familiar with android because I always had apple devices but I got tired of them. I am trying to learn how to customize these. The home screen widget cannot be moved or deleted. It is stuck in KPH and 24h time and wont change even thought I changed the setting under car settings. It has 1gb of ddr3 and a 1.6ghz quad core A9 processor and 16gb Nand, not sd card slot.
ebay item number is 272278514841, Sorry I cannot post links.

Purchased a S5, can you please identify the Model number?

I am very confused, Item is a refurb, has been rooted and therefore i want to put a clean stock rom on it, however i am getting mixed signals. phone is labelled g900f on the sticker and about phone, however i think this is fake, so the seller could sell it as a British model, I went in to recovery, the boot-loader stated it was a g900t. Also in the settings / about / there is a section referring to The united Emirates, which i have not ever seen before. I do believe it is a real s5 though as it has a snapdragon processor. Also the Imei number and serial number match the sticker, however i have a feeling this was somehow done by the seller, or who ever is supplying the seller who sold it to me. Other than that phone is working fine, but does not receive OTA updates. Also for some reason in the Ringtone section there are some built in AT&T ones.

can someone try to make sense of this, and tell me which exact Official ROM i would need to use.

Thanks.
