Often when we buy phones in contract or otherwise, the vendor company puts its own logo and branding on hardware as well as firmware.
Is there a method to help determine the real identity of a device to root it and perform other functions?

Do you have a specific OEM in mind? Or a general question?– beeshyamsCommented Jul 7, 2017 at 13:58

1That's very broad , besides your concern is on rooting - which method to use is dependent on device , variants of device, and OS version or one click apps . Not dependent on who manufactured it– beeshyamsCommented Jul 7, 2017 at 14:24
