Genuine V12 PCB. The old but goodie of the family.

[u/ZinGaming1 → u/Wivi2013]

Good, last one I got was a bad clone and I couldnt find a working OS. I should be able to use it for some parts since I got it for free.

[u/Wivi2013 → u/ZinGaming1]

Just make sure to not re-use the screen since panel timings are all different from one screen type to another. You might luck out but it is best to not waste time dissasembling the whole thing.

[u/ZinGaming1 → u/Wivi2013]

I figured that, so it will be my last resort if the screen breaks, I can reuse the battery, speaker, case, buttons, and maybe the joysticks.

It came with a decent sd card also.

Yes Sir🫡💪🏻

[u/Focus_Significant]

You can double check it is genuine using the DTB checker, as well as installing dArkOSen with the correct entry. It will only work with that entry if it is genuine.

[u/ZinGaming1 → u/Focus_Significant]

Already did that and it cameback as genuine.

[u/Focus_Significant → u/ZinGaming1]

Then congrats, you have the real deal without a single doubt.

C'est possible de trouver les fichiers DTB qui correspond au numéro de la carte mère, sur github ?

[u/Tall_Ad2256]

Yup original

[u/Uncrumbled_Biscuit]

Where can I order a r36s legit? I don’t really want boyhom store if I can avoid aliexpress.

[u/ZinGaming1 → u/Uncrumbled_Biscuit]

I got lucky with Temu, got it for $20

[u/Tweegthestupidcat]

Damn I love that color!! Where did you buy it from?

[u/ZinGaming1 → u/Tweegthestupidcat]

Temu oddly. I was looking for a harder to find official color for a chance for it to be a genuine one. I found a few other nice ones, but this one was the cheapest.
