identifying Galaxy s6 clone?

I just bought one of these and it doesn't seem to be addressing its hard drive properly. I don't mind flashing he ROM but think I need to identify what on earth it is. HDC or Goophone? (or something else?)
I tried installing aida64 but keep getting the message that there isn't enough disk space. It may even be one which has an SD card slot?
Somewhere??
Anyone got any ideas on in which direction to point me please? I would be intrigued to know if it is any better spec'd than my galaxy S3 (or my HTC Wizard)

Thanks, is that the proper forum for the goophone or hDC?

No, this thread was moved to the S6 forum because of intent to identify whether device is fake or not. Therefore, this is still the relevant location to be moved to.

Well that should raise a laugh on that forum, someone has a fake S6 and is asking a forum of genuine G6 owners whether it is genuine!!!
Now, where can I get my problem actually answered?

We need at least some photos of the phone, and maybe a screenshot of the "About phone" settings screen.
(You know, my cristal ball has broken.... :silly: )

Try to enter in download mode (pwr + vol- + home) and send us a picture of the screen. Also will help some rear and front pictures.

Please excuse my incompetence but I can't now get the thing into download mode: I did manage it yesterday and am not sure the results are going to be all that useful as (somewhat predictably) every one of the four lines is in Chinese!
Are these photos of any use in diagnosing what is going on? For my part, I don't trust much of what it says because it seems to have been rigged to give these results? I will try to get a chinese text screen in case anyone here speaks Chinese
A few more things I noticed late last night: Firstly, storage shows that this is a 16 gig model but that all but 1.7 gig is used! Secondly, aida64 wont install, showing an out of space error message AFTER DOWNLOAD when it tries to install. I suppose this indicates that it is the app which won't install (cos it needs rooting?) rather than that there is a space related error going on here? I did manage to install the 'DU Battery' which is a whole lot bigger than Aida?
Various places in Settings offer to wipe all data on the phone but I am wondering how much of that is in ROM and how much is apps if 15.2 gig of space on this phone is mysteriously used! I tried bringing up the phone in windows explorer to see what is in any identifiable directories but XP sees it as an HTC device and gives a no driver error message. Maybe I might try ES File Explorer.

Instead of aida install cpu-z and try to get inside, if you see the CPU info it will help identify the model. When i was searching one s6 to buy, one of the sellers tried to scam me but when i asked for the shot he was dumb to send me

Looks fake. The S6's lowest storage variant is 32gb. The side bezels are too thick as well.

Something needs re-configuring on this thing as even CPU-Z wont install (sic) because of what it calls insufficient storage, what with all those 15.1 of 16 gig being taken up. And it is constantly trying to download something to update Flipboard. Which constantly fails for the same reason.

No, it wont even load cpu-z and is constantly failing in updating Flipboard from its download.
This thing seriously needs re-configuring in some way.
Does anyone think this means anything?

The model shows SM-G920G in the About device with a SM-G920F baseband version. The picture of the rear shows SM-G920F. And Samsung is misspelled.

Well spotted!!
But within the context of trying to identify precisely which clone this is, I assume you are suggesting that means sometihng. But you don't say what?

1. You are not able to enter in download mode: fake (original must enter in download mode)
2. Pushing two or three buttons combination (download or recovery modes) you enter in a screen with chinese letters: fake (original s6 would show english words on these modes)
3. 16GB: fake (original s6 has 32gb and above)
4. Rear image, Blue Camera sensor: fake (all colours original s6 has a black/grey camera around the objetive)
5. Front image, three proximity/brightness... just at left from the ear speaker: fake (s6 has only two sensors at this location
6. Made in Korea: fake (s6 is made in Vietnam)
So, 6 signs to say it is a fake s6. If you try to flash a original g920F ROM on it, you will brick your korean phone.

Please don't take this the wrong way but this is the second page of a slightly lengthy discussion trying to identify what is known a clone. Have you just caught up to where we were BEFORE the first post?
Take a look at the title.
What made you think that this "clone"which we are trying to identify is original?

Anyone would have thought that I was trying to identify a clone. [Once you have an original Samsung Galaxy S6, why would you need to identify it??]
Please let me explain if English is not your first language: A clone Galaxy is not a Galaxy. It is made by some other company. It isn't necessary to show how a clone isn't original in minute detail, no one thinks it is original, with the possible exception of the moderator of the XDA-Questions forum who moved this thread to this forum. But that isn't a reason people here would want to ignore the word clone and move on to identifying what is non-original about a clone?
I was trying to figure out on the proper place to ask questions (the Q&A Forum) where a post about a Goophone or HDC should go, who had played around with one of these slightly technologically advanced $100 octa-core phones and whether they had flashed their phone with any better ROM. Or how to contact the manufacturer.
As XDAers play around with all flashable phones (as well as numerous phones where flashing gives dubious results), I figured someone must have tried to get this Chinese phone which does actually work with android to work better.

Galaxy S7 Touchscreen Problem

Galaxy S7 screen not responding to touch sometimes. The bottom portion of the display is affected. I tried 6 different S7 and all of them have the same problem, test yours like this and tap gently not hard, when you press hard you press 3mm on the screen and that is a lot ! The problem is worse when the phone is cold (20C) This is annoying because the place where its not working is the same place where the space bar is and the "." Does anyone else have that exact problem? Here is a video of the problem : https://youtu.be/OW_FQBMcuOE
IMPORTANT !
Install Phone INFO app (green adroid logo) see when the phone is manufactured, mine is 2016.02.18 ! maybe the first batch of the production have that problem! We might be on something here!!!

There are two threads already open with this situation.
I have this problem at the same location you demonstrate. The right side has this problem too. From bottom right to the top 1 cm and 2 or 3 cm up you are going to reproduce the same thing.
I get used to it but it is very annoying. Never liked Samsung because of this things. They use low quality material all around. I will never trust them.

go to samsung store

Just received H9 update and the release notes did not mention anything about LCD, touch screen or anything related to it.
But since the update, I've been trying to reproduce the problem trying to find the blind spots and for my surprise I did not find anything. The touchscreen is perfect and I can feel it is more sensitive.
Before the update I could reproduce the problem very easy! Now it is perfect.
The update here in my region (Brazil - ZTO) was about 170MB. Samsung Cloud was introduced.

Wow, mine was manufactured 2 weeks ago (2016.08.16) and I've owned it since about the 24th too, so it was 8 days old when I received it

The G930F is the international version with the Exynos and not the Snapdragon, which one do you have?

You bought a FAKE S7. It will never be compatible with odin and S7 firmwares.

Yep its a fake, the mt6580 is a mediatek processor most commonly found in cheap Chinese devices.

Thank you so much Travis Bickle, kykint, gsmyth for quick response
@travis it says Snapdragon
So looks like I got cheated by the guy and now stuck with this Chinese clone of S7.
Is there anyway I can root it and get rid of that Factory Mode and the adware?? As rest of the phone is really amazing, quality of picture, sound/video quality, fast charging and performance except the battery life.
So if I can remove the adware and get it rooted the phone is still usable for few years.
Please suggest.!!

One thing I could suggest is to disable a few apps from your phone. Check for the presence of SystemLocker and GoogleVending - that might account for most of the malware showing up especially when wifi is enabled.

You're welcome! There might be a few more depending on the ROM used. If you could give me the boot.prop and/or system folder I might try on coming up with a fix.
Oh and out of curiosity, can you take a pic or two of the phone in question? Usually with fakes they come with a slightly smaller screen hence the borders and/or thicker bezels. That's one tipoff with a fake Samsung device compared to the real thing.

The gap between the top of the home button and the bottom of the screen looks too big on that phone, it's much closer to the screen on the S7 (G930F)

Hard to tell from those pics, just turn it on and see if it has a thick black bezel around the screen like this one on the right, if it does then its a fake https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AzKnmffM2K4/maxresdefault.jpg

Do any of you all know anything about this one?
They claim it to have a "real" 820 Snap in it.
...I think at best case, a octa MTK and of course everything will be plastic.

G930f have sd820?
Enviado desde mi E6603 mediante Tapatalk

The real Samsung g930 phones have 820 (or Exynos in variants), The site I posted is a clone phone, that claims to have the real 820 snap processor in it. I am wondering how/if it can be true????

There are many ways to distinguish from a fake to a real s7, just youtube it.
- The fingerprint scanner on the fake one works with any fingers
- I bet the antutu score on the fake will be significantly lower than the real due to cheap outdated hardware
- battery, as you already know, is terrible on the fake
- No heart rate monitor on the fake, even if there are, it will just read random fake numbers
- The print on the box and manual of the fake are significantly lower than the real in terms of quality print, and even content are not the same.
- The fake one will display false specs on every monitor software such as 4.00GB ram (when it actually has like 512MB or something stupid like that) and snapdragon CPU when it actually has a MediaTek chinese cpu

Looks like we have a slightly different device then; mine had the microphone pinhole on the other side. And yeah, I am still looking for that damn Z6U030HA_V101En firmware. Haven't heard from anyone with the same ROM so far. :/

Friends,
Finally, I was able to get details for the phone its HDC S7 which is clone of Samsung S7, I was able to locate ROM for it on needrom and able to flash it.
Now the problem that I found is the phone doesn't connect to T mobile 4G LTE network, its only showing 2G and that is causing the GPS issue.
I am able to see AT&T 3G so looks its only Tmobile that has issue with this phone, I tried to add network ID myself but that didnt helped. Do anyone know if there is working solution for HDC S7 4G LTE network issue? Or suggestion on any alternative ROM for HDC S7 G930?

Hi, I have the same phone and I need the firmware because I flashed a wrong one. Can you give me a backup firmware from this device? Thanks

Vernee Mars Pro

Hello gents,
I am pretty sure this is the correct place for this post, my apologies to the mods if not.
I preordered the Vernee Mars Pro, which on paper sounds rather impressive. My only concern with the device is that not too long ago there was a bunch of hubbub about malware being on devices originating from china.
I understand that if my concern is that deep, that i shouldn't be buying Chinese devices, but ehh?
Anyways, I was hoping that someone might have some knowledge into looking into firmware to check for said malware. I would very much appreciate a little help when I get mine in.
Cheers!

A lot of Chinese phones do contain bloatware and other forms of crapware. It can include malware, but not always, it is a gamble really. Unfortunately, I am not sure about anything related to this. But I do follow one practice if the phone doesn't have custom ROM, I usually don't buy it. I tend to wipe original ROM away and add a custom one, that is the safest way to protect your data from chinese providers.

Chinese phones are officially not allowed for people in Armed Forces. I read it somewhere that they send whole text messages to servers in china...
Anyways get a custom rom ,install xposed framework and then get Xprivacy.
Then block any existing malware

Don't be afraid beacuse it is chinese phone. They made some bautifull mobs. I have Jiayu S3 for two years - best ROMs, android 7.12, but it is somewhat slow, after 2 years. I look to buy this one too Or it is better to wait something with MTK x30
There is one opinion on youtube..it says that Mars pro has bad quality tone in calls

does anyone have allready a working version of TWRP and the bootloader for the Mars Pro?

About bloatware in android of Vernee Mars Pro:
On mine, "CheckChineseBackdoor.apk was checked positive and App-remov find a "com.adups.fota" as "mise à jour" (updates) application ..... It was configured to be able to modify system (!) and you had to be root to erase it .... before uninstalling i hope desactivate "modify system" is true and stop application too.

There is one opinion on youtube..it says that Mars pro has bad quality tone in calls

Yeah, adups, dodgy as! Amazon just announced they are pulling all Blu phones from their store, they don't say why exactly, just privacy issue, so seems likely they have identified some new issue with adups.

Edit: Amazon restored Blu phones to their store a few days later

Root with KingRoot
Hello guys,
i tried to root the Vernee Mars Pro with KingRoot byt it's not working.
Has anyone succesfully rooted the device?

i need to find the mars_pro20170630 rom. where can i get it. my phone stuck at boot logo

the exact stock rom name is mars_pro_21070630154451

Yeah, I guess fair point stands, right now a lot of Chinese market phones flagged for backdoors, malware and just in general a mess. It seems they are using the same either Android distributor or software distributor, that just adds plenty of unnecessary apps.

I accidentally activated the e-ink mode.
Unfortunately I can not disable it because you can not pull down the notification bar.
Does anybody know how to deactivate the e-ink mode to have a color display again?

I don't have a Vernee or even an e-ink phone but guess you can go to the "gear wheel" for settings in apps screen to get to the phone settings?

There should be a left back arrow at the left side of the top. Did you manage to sort it? maybe a restart would do it

Ask me any question about the 1+6

Like the title says, ask me whatever you want about the 1+6. This could be useful if you are considering to buy this amazing phone!

Debating between this phone and the mi mix 2s. By all counts the OP will have better development, and the headphone jack is a plus. The mix really has style and wireless charging. But unconfirmed reports that Android pay didn't work. Does Android pay work on a stock OP? Is it seen as certified on the Google store (can I play Netflix?). I don't plan on rooting or installing an after market ROM until later in life (if OP stops supporting it). Also how does OP handle the warranty in the US? Basically there isn't one on the mi mix 2s which is a big minus.
I'm coming from a LG V20 so I debate whether or not to upgrade at all considering it has almost everything lol

Q: Does Android pay work on a stock OP?
A: Yes! Google pay works with the Oneplus 6
Q: Is it seen as certified on the Google store?
A: Sort answer, yes. I didn't have any problems with the Google play store on my device.
Q: Can I play Netflix?
A: yes, Netflix works fine on my device.
Q: How does OP handle the warranty in the US?
A: I'm not sure, I haven't looked into this yet. I'll keep you up to date if I know more information about your question. But I'm pretty sure the warranty is alright.
Some extra information:
- Don't let the 1080p screen hold you back. The screen is gorgeous and you won't see the pixels.
- Screen on time is about 4 and a half hours with average usage.
- Dash charge does what it's promised to do.
- The Oneplus 6 is for my small hands a two handed phone.
I hope I answered all your questions well!
Best regards,

Oh and OP doesn't make you jump through hoops to unlock the bootloader right?

nope, extremely easy, same as usual, just boot into OS and get into Developer Options and check OEM Unlocking (I also enable usb debugging and accept RSA key) then boot to fastboot (fastboot oem unlock)

Lockscreen ossue
When I use the security options such as face recognization fingerprint and pin when I lock the screen and to open the lock screen without using any of the above the phone is opening easily by just simply swiping up please help me regarding this !!!!!!

I think your phone will lock a few minutes later when you turn the screen off. (Lock delay) You can turn this off in the settings to "Lock device when screen is off"

1. Works.
2. Always on display has been removed because it consumed to much power. It has been replaced with ambient display.
3. It also has been removed because the fingerprint sensor was too small according to Oneplus

Hi! I'm planning on making the OP6 my first OnePlus Device.
I also plan on getting the 6T later as well. I know that seems pointless. But I like have 2 major devices from a company for a years run..
Anyway, I know the phone is brand new and we have to see how things go, but, do you think there will be ROM support for this device? Given that it had the dual partition system (A&B style) would it be worthwhile to get the OP6 for ROMs right now?
My only want is to Root & ROM the phone. I have a LG G6 & V30, both from T-Mobile and have no dev supoort or ROMs. I like them both but I miss LineageOS and that's actually why I'm buying the OP6.
In your opinion, should I expect to see ROMs like LineageOS for OP6 or should I just wait and get the 6t.
I'm just trying to justify it to myself, especially now that the Nylon bumper case is sold out and that's the one I wanted. Ha, minor detail holding me back. Obviously I'll snag a Karbon Bumper hopefully..

Which is the best camera mode ?

I don't get my device till Monday or Tuesday. Would like to know if I can get daydream installed.
Are you rooted?
If so, are you willing to try to enable Google daydream?
Instructions found here
As long as you're comfortable with having to flash stock rom if something goes wrong.

When are you selling me your 1+6? [emoji848]

How do games and videos adapt to the notch? Especially stuff like YouTube.

Wow is that the reason they say they removed fp gestures? This didn't make sense because it's the same size as the fp sensor on the s8 and so she fp features work on those devices. So I wonder if this new sensor just doesn't support gestures or if it can be added back in from a custom rom?

First of all I must excuse me. Because I live in the Netherlands, my phone's language is set to Dutch.
First go to you security settings, then press the little settings circle. Now you should see some sort of a timer. Change this timer value to something more then 0 sec (instant lock). Ow and toggle the instant lock slider for when you press the power button
