Thanks for always having my back. Kudos!!!
A tecno M3 phone was brought to me with privacy protection password issue. I was going to request for permission to download one the M3 backup files but then I didn't know which of them would be the best.I wanted to check if it was the old or new version that the phone runs on. So I put the phone into fastboot mode and ran the command "fastboot getvar all" which gave me the various partitions on the phone with their sizes and types. But when I compared the sizes with what is in the scatter files of both the old and new versions, there are differences in the sizes of some of the partitions. These partitions are SYSTEM (Android), FAT, USERDATA and CACHE.
I am wondering if that should cause any problem if I choose to flash any of your backup files. You know sometimes SP Flash Tool can be stubborn and won't allow you if all the parameters are not right.
So please help me take the best decision on this.
Thank you.

 the partition sizes vary with the stock backup but they have a range. 
to differentiate, the boot animation is the first place to look
if you see smartlife then its either new 4.2 or 4.4
if its the normal blue TECNO with flames then its the old 4.2

privacy protection doesnt affect old 4.2 so the phone is either new 4.2 or 4.4
at this point, you should ask the owner what OS the phone was running on or resort to trial and error

Ok Sir. Thanks for the explanation. The boot animation for this one is the smartlife boot screen. But, like you advised, I'll talk to the owner to verify it is 4.2 or 4.4 for sure then I'll get back to request the download permission. Thanks again.
