We'd already dropped a guide on how to identify a fake / cloned Samsung Android phone. If you missed the guide then refer to https://www.hovatek.com/blog/how-to-iden...roid-phone .
If you (intentionally or unintentionally) end up with a cloned Samsung Android phone and have bricked it, this guide will teach you how to fix / resolve the issue.

Is my Samsung Clone a Mediatek or Spreadtrum Android phone?

There are applications you could use to verify your Android phone's specs like Antutu Benchmark, CPU-Z etc. If the phone is bricked, it might not be able to boot up. In such a case, you can confirm what kind of chipset is powering the phone by launching Device Manager and connecting the phone to the PC while switched off. If it gets detected as ***Mediatek*** then its a Mediatek (MTK) phone. If detected as ***SCI*** then its a Spreadtrum (SPD) phone.

How to unbrick a Samsung Clone Mediatek Android phone

* Download the firmware @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-13266.html
* Install Mediatek Preloader VCOM drivers on the PC using https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-440.html
* Flash the firmware to the phone using SP Flash tool @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-159.html

How to unbrick a Samsung Clone Spreadtrum Android phone

* Download the firmware @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-13266.html
* Install Spreadtrum USB drivers on the PC using https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-827.html
* Flash the pac file using Research Download or Upgrade Download tool @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-1231.html

What if I have access to a working phone of the same model and wish to use it to unbrick?

You have two options in this case:
1. Flash a custom recovery to both phones > Backup the working phone in recovery > Restore to the bricked phone
2. Backup the working phone using https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-468.html for Mediatek and https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-854.html for Spreadtrum then flash using the tools mentioned above
