MK808B clones, how to identify them.

[exenew]

I bought this called "tronsmart" from Amazon - is it cloned?

Thanks, so I should be ok with looking into firmware that says for original mk808, right? Or there is still more to it...

Yes but if you want to feel safer you can make a backup of your rom with cwm recovery.

If you have rk901 wifi chipset you will have no problems with roms and kernels for the mk808.

Identify MK808b without opening up

Hi Guys,
I think there is another way to find out if your mk808b is original or clone.
1.install terminal emulator from playstore and open it
2.type su (you must be rooted)
3. type dmesg
From the output scroll down and look for the wifi entries and see if it is rk903 or something else
There are many entries so keep looking to end of the output.

I cannot confirm if this is the conclusive way because i cannot test it as i do not own a clone mk808b.

Those clone owners can you test it and feedback.

You are right, in this way you can check if the mk808b is the "original". Can't difference the clones. And allways if you are in your stock rom. If you installed a custom before this way don't work

OK, i get it.

Read somewhere the wifi mac id can help. is that correct?

Help help help...

I am desperatly seeking for solution... I flashed my Mk808B after it wouldn't start. Sadly I didn't do any backup. Now after trying every firmware I can find, it starts but it is impossible to get the wifi and bluetooth running.
From the pictures I've seen there is no one that looks really like mine.

It has only one antenna and no heatsink.


The wifi-chip is Mediatek MT5931 and the Bluetooth-chip is Mediatek MT6622, so from what I read I should flash it with the Sunvell clone #1 firmware. But with no success.
([VonDroid.com]-[VonDroid.com]-ROM STOCK MK808B CLONE #1.zip)
I´ve also tried the clone #2 firmware, the original firmware, finless all firmwares and the cusom firmwares.
The only one I havn't try yet is the most recent ones from this week, but they shouldn't work due to the Mediatek chips...

Anyone have an idea???

Thankful for replies.

Hey Guys

I bought a Hossen brand from Amazon and got it today. Does not look like a real MK808B. Check out the picture.

I will be toying with it and update the results. If anyone has seen this structure before, please let me know!

Thanks
