    So my title basically says it all. I have been reading up on how to spot clones/fake Galaxy S5.

    One thing I wanted to confirm with you guys is that if the S5 enters ODIN mode, it is basically 100% legit? Or do fake ones have managed to get ODIN mode as well?

    Any tip will be helpful, I am looking to pick one up in a day or two.

    If it has a Knox Warranty flag it is genuine...

    Thanks man, that is a big give away and a quick way to see if it is a clone. I will look out for other details too but there are so many replicas, and some are so good that it is hard to tell unless you go into specifics.
