Hey all

Im trying to buy some cheap android phones to finally make accs with ADB. Thus far been using instaccountsmanager and other methods (cloud phone). With low success rate.

I have many own proxies using own modems so thats not an issue.

Questions is what is the minimum android that we can use. Is Galaxy J3 okay?

How many accs can we make per phone per day?

Is it unlimited per phone as long as u keep resetting or do folks here change device id etc with root instead so its quicker

Open to all answers, insights. Thank u !

I'm curious about this too.
From what I've read, the Android version seems to matter more than having a powerful phone. I'd also be interested to know if anyone is still using older devices successfully or if they're becoming more of a limitation now.;)

YES – we change device id. And not only it. Also build props, media drm, google advertising id, dns servers, built and boot times, user agent, WiFi & sim info, and location. It’s called cloning. Every account has its own fingerprint. Changing only device id doesn’t make sense.

NO – no root, it brings more problems than benefits, because modern apps are very sophisticated in detecting root and you simply cannot hide it.
 
In case you’re going for bulk account creation, it’s much more important to stick to the platform’s rules than having good hardware. Don’t try to exploit account resetting and changing identity techniques – they are often considered malicious and lead to blocking/termination of the accounts created through them.
 
Good luck with your plan i tried this few time and didn't worked changing only some elements on the phone like ip will not help much if you plan to run multiple accounts on same phone
 
A J3 can work, but newer Androids tend to be much more stable in my experience.
I'd focus more on clean IPs and consistent device behavior than squeezing tons of accounts from one phone.
Slow and steady usually beats pushing the limits—it saves a lot of headaches later.

media drm

Cannot be changed without root access

I think you confuse basic things.

They are not changed in the phone.

All parameters are changes inside clones. I.e. how app sees them, not what they are in reality.

App clones are detected, unfortunately

Yes Samsung Phone works with ADB, Just the Android version has to be higher, Check with the software provider on what android version is required and talk with them.

Do you mean manage or make? If manage, You can easily manage upto 5 accounts per phone, Thats what normally people do.

No its not, If it were that easy everyone would be doing it. IG will track and start banning accounts so its of no use.

This depends on the android version, but you cant use too old phones as well, You need a moderately old one or a new one.

It's possible I'm missing something. I'm basing this on what I know, so maybe I just don't understand what you mean by "clones." I don't understand how you can natively and convincingly spoof IDs like that while, for example, still maintaining Strong Integrity.

Even GOS can’t do that. I’d be happy to be wrong.

So this runs through your "dev" account with Apple, but installs on the customers phone?
