get full android version info - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
for testing purposses (a lot of devices) i am looking for a method to get the full android version of differen devices (different manufacturer, modells and major android releases).
i would be interested in get it in a text form or worst case as one screenshot (or more if necessary). The screenshot should be done with the device itself.
The information should land on my pc (win 7) where will be further processed. This should be done via WLAN or USB
The method should be manufacturer and modell independent, best case would be also platform independent (works also for iPhone, Windows Phone, Blackberry)
i know, the easiest way would be to take a picture with a second device and copy the picture via USB, but this is not the expected method. The focus should be on the text information. Is there any app that can do this?
thank you!

MobileUncle only works on MTK devices. If you're running a Qualcomm or X86 device it's not going to work.

Test on another PC, and if that doesn't work - replace USB board - look for Keithross39's guide in General (search for 'replacing USB charger board'), has all the info you need to get this done yourself quickly/easily/cheaply (~US$10).

thanks for the reply sir... that's the only thing left out for me to do... to try my device to another desktop or loptop.. since i only have one desktop at home....
sir how can i tell whether my phone is a genuine one? can fake samsung devices be recognize by kies? on usb or wifi kies?
Verify that your phone is closed all applications (hold "home" key -
management activities - close applications) and move to the main screen.
Open the Samsung Kies program first and then connect the usb cable.
If the fault persists, uninstall the driver (Samsung Mobile Usb) from "Device Manager" on PC
and restart your computer.
Once you restart your PC, and open the Samsung Kies, plug the phone in order to re-install the
driver.
If still no go even restart the phone and try again
Try also another usb port and finally try another pc / laptop

Compare your phone to pics (Google search) of genuine devices, also Google & you'll find pics of fakes that you can also compare against (we've seen a few fakes on here over the past couple of yrs but not many, search for threads about this). Get an app like Android Hardware Info/similar (there are a number of similar apps on GP) which will give you the hardware details (CPU/GPU/etc) of your device & compare that to I9100 specs.
What makes you think it's fake ?
Cpu-z is a good app (free on google play) for see Android's details about hardware/software.
I've never heard of fake s2. It sounds so strange
Quiet, that you are neither the first nor the last to have problems with USB connectivity to PC. They are quite common problems.

coz there's a a lot of fake samsung products here in the Philippines... and by now it's really hard to identify which is original or fake.
those people who created those clone phones is getting better day by day. way cheaper but looks exactly the same.. i think they made
the hardware powered too, i've seen an s5 a clone one and it's rated by antutu with 30145 or something )
Don't forget to test different USB ports in your laptop or PC. Last resort could also be (if you're under windows, obviously) deleting the USB root controllers within the Control Panel > System > Device Admin and then reboot. In my experience, I don't need to reinstall Samsung's drivers and usualy recover the USB cable connection.

N9 isn't recognized by Windows 7 pc

Hi, I'm new to the N9, have had the tablet about a week. I have tried connecting it to my windows 7 Pc and the N9 isn't recognized. I have tried all the basics, all drivers are current, set tablet to mtp, and not found. I have connected to a friend's Windows 10 PC and the N9 is found immediately. My N9 is a wifi only device, non rooted. I have 2 other Android devices that my W7 PC finds with no issue. Anyone else experience this, and or have any suggestions on how to fix this issue ? Not looking to root at this point. Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated
I think there are many threads about this problem. Nexus Root Toolkit has a driver installation feature.
If you were starting from scratch I'd delete any unknown "tablet/usb" devices in Device Manager - look for the also delete drivers option.
Google's W7 installation instructions are here http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#Win7
On this page http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html is a link to download a zip file of the drivers (not the full SDK package) Click here to download the latest Google USB Driver ZIP file.
This software http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html is possibly better than device manager in deleting drivers
In some cases, you need to enable ADB on your N9 before plugging it into your PC (Settings -> Developer Options -> Android Debugging).

Thank you for your help, I had already tried all of this, but tried once more in case a step was missed. Every other Android device I have, or had never gave me an issue like this. The 2 android phones I have connect to pc without a problem, I am at a loss, lol.
When deleting drivers, should I have deleted all drivers for all devices, or just the ones installed from N9 ? Thanks again for your help

I've not got access to a Windows 7 PC. Does this page help http://www.topnotchtablets.com/FixUSBproblems
A basic one. I don't think it's relevant until you have a connection. Do you know that the N9 USB connection defaults to "charging only" and you need to pull down the notification menu to enable MTP to see the device contents
In USBDeview
Expand the window there are a lot more columns
There is a "connected" y/n column. I'm not certain that this works as expected, I can connect a tablet and despite an F5 refresh or a restart of the program it will stay a "No"
Look at the VendorId column AFAIK everything Google Nexus related has an ID of "18D1"
Have tried to establish what, if anything pops up in Device Manager when you plug in the N9 so you can disable it? Nirsoft have a program http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/device_manager_view.html that gives a table view of all devices - no clicking to expand trees

Thank you for your help I greatly appreciated it. After trying pretty much everything, I decided to see if the ruu's for my two phones would run on W10. They did, so I then proceeded to update my W7 to W10. N9 communicates perfectly now with my PC. Thank you

Issues with connecting Redmi Note 4X to Windows 10

Hello. I'm a happy (?!) user of Win 10 Pro x64 since few days.
I want to connect my RN4X Snapdragon to PC, using usb on my pc's motherboard.
However, despite setting option, that I'll listed below, my phone is still not recognisable as useful stuff.
Without changing anything on my phone since my last flashing topics (Feb and March this year), I was fully able to connect easily to pc with win7 x64. I also was able to connect (using Xiaomi's cable, cheap replacement does not seem to work) phone to win 8.1 x64, where only the basic adb fastboot were installed. But, I cannot do the same on newest Windows.
I've done:
1. Installing minimal adb and fastboot 1.4.3. for all users (I'm the only one account here, but not sure if that's matter)
2. Having programming option enabled, usb debugging enabled and all that good stuff.
3. All four elements on that list - https://************/how-to-fix-mtp-devices-not-connecting-on-windows-10/
4. I've tried to install it as adb interface, installing it manually, installing it by using *.cat files from xiaomi_usb_driver archive, that contain that kind of stuff for newer windowses (it's from this side, if I remember it right - https://www.xiaomiusbdrivers.com/2018/02/download-xiaomi-usb-driver-2018-for_4.html)
5. Almost all stuf from here - https://www.jihosoft.com/android-tips/windows-10-cannot-recognize-android.html. Because I do not have Samsung, Odin mode is not an issue
6. I've tried to install my Redmi 4X as MTP device. However, my phone during each connection to PC started himself in charging mode (I can change it). Even changing it doesn't changing anything, though.
7. Editing the bulid.prop, adding there few lines describing how the phone should behave. I've saved it, but my original version of bulid.prop does not have anything in there about types of connection. I don't remember it word by word, but I've could check in history if anyone will find it interesting.
Drivers for usb 3.1 are pre-installed with mine version of win10 (I cannot install drivers given on my motherboard's dvd attached, system says that I'm currently having them).
When I try to install it manually via device manager, on the first time it says, that is other device, identifed briefly as MTP. However, installing it either as Android ADB interface, fastboot interface or third option does not give me anything. What's worse, even when I've pick windows/INF as my source of drivers for this device, it does not list on "lemme pick ddevice type" MTP type devices. I'm using win 10 in polish, so it might be that I'm blind or does NOT understand translate.
What else could I do? I can of course use wife's laptop with 8.1, usb sticks or other stuff, but I would like to have it sorted out.

Not sure. How to check it? We use to have 16GB OTG to USB2.0 (other end was micro usb B), but we must have put it somewhere during moving out to new flat, cause I cannot find it now.
gonna bump it, cause there's not any clue yet.
Same here.

Qin 1s+ `mocor5 file transfer`?

I just got a Qin 1s+. I am trying to transfer some audio and PDF files to it. Whenever I connect the USB-C cable to my computer I get a prompt on the phone that says:
USB tethering
USB connected, check to tether
Media device (MTP)
Lets you transfer media files on Windows,
or using Mocor5 File Transfer on Mac
Where do I get `Mocor5 File Transfer`? The OS on the Qin 1s+ is called `Mocor5` right? I can't find any information on a file transfer program for Mac.
Any information would be appreciated! Thank you.

What exactly do you mean by "toned down"? I still haven't figured this out. If I could find an image of the OS that would be a great start, but I still would like to know what Mocor5 File Transfer was? It's a file transfer program, but I've never heard of it.
Thank you!
I don't own a mac so I can't answer thought question.
But mocor 5 is a os built on Android 4 and it's designed specially for spreadtrum devices that have buttons.

Okay, do you know where I can DL *any* type of image for it? I'd like to find that and mess around with it. I searched `Mocor 5` and didn't find a single page.
Here you go! This is the fdl for xiaomi (duoqin) qin 1 s plus but it's very similar so try it.

Doesn't Multilaser M7 3g plus deserve a way to root?

Sorry if I'm uninformed, but I spent a few days looking for a method to root the infamous multilaser m7. A tablet with a very bad performance to install a virtual machine and at the same time super complicated in terms of compatible tools to improve its android 9. Has anyone experienced this problem, have any tips besides advising me to burn it or play In the trash?
My final objective is get remote access in this tablet without confirmation... none of most usable tools (Airdroid, Anydesk, teamviewer) work in this tablet without confirmation ou USB temporary confirmation every time the devise turn off or the tool updated. In respect of this last thing, I know that here isn't the best place to ask, but all help is welcomed.

AFAIK the 3 mentioned apps make use of a Wi-Fi connection and not of a USB connection. Once you are going to establish a remote connection this must be confirmed, will say the appropriate connection ID must get input.

I agree ... they use wi-fi connection, thanks to God for that ... what I said is that I need to connect to the tablet without confirmation, I need to leave the tablet in my store and just upload and configure it remotely. For this, even installing the Teamviewer and AnyDesk plugins, and activating the direct connection option of Airdroid using USB without root, it is still not possible to maintain a connection with that tablet (mind cracker multilaser m7). Better options for example using Airdroid would be possible if it were possible to root this infamous.
@criph
Because tablet is powered by Mediatek chipset you can try to flash a pre-rooted Android ( Custom ROM ) by means of SP Flash Tool or do it the hard way by flashing a Custom Recovery ( e.g. TWRP ), then flashing Magisk framework via TWRP and finally root Andoid by means of Magisk Manager.

Don't know if you're still interested.
Using App Ops you may grant Anydesk or whatever the ability to always accept external connections.
To enable App Ops on a device without root, you will also need Shizuku. Follow the instructions on the screen.
