# Android Build Fingerprint
## Identification
An Android build fingerprint is a structured software-build identifier that usually combines brand, product, device, Android release, build ID, incremental identifier, build type, and signing-key channel. It helps compare an observed system with a known firmware release, but it can be copied or altered and is not a cryptographic attestation by itself.
## Notebook evidence
[[Scanned_20260730-1806#Page 17 — `Scanned_20260730-1806.pdf`, PDF page 17|PDF page 17]] preserves the Motorola `minsk_retail/minsk` fingerprint associated with build `QPCS30.Q4-31-26-1-9` and `user/release-keys`. The quoted handwriting contains one likely `31-21` copying discrepancy; the reconstruction preserves it while keeping the normalized build separate.
