Normally a sane developer/programmer will implement such kind of detection by comparing the device serial code with the bad pirated one and if these two are the same then you can deliberately brick that device. Now how this counterfeit detection works? well when you upgrade the firmware (at the minipro request) then that routine is invoked and if the device is found to be counterfeited then that device is deliberately bricked by overwriting the bootloader. Look closer at that pcb and compare it with any picture of the original pcb (2012/2013/2014 pcb versions) you should see big differences (tip: look at the ground plane first). I have reatached a picture with an counterfeited unit which is clearly a clone. Regarding your doubt about your device all i can say is that YOUR DEVICE IS GENUINE, there are counterfeited units on the market, and the autoelectric company discovered this and beginning with minipro version 6.50 introduced a routine to detect these units because all these units were loaded with the same serial code. So please stop thinking about "hacks" and "firmware updates to close hacks" there's nothing about this because simply there's no hack to detect. If you used my firmware updater then you have seen that there's a field to browse for a file called "update.dat" for what do you think i need that file? well that file contains the two versions of the firmware in an encrypted format, which my utility decrypt and send it to the programmer at the user choice. Also for those who bricked their devices it can generate a new firmware, which in fact is nothing more than an new serial code, there's no firmware modification or patch or something else, the firmware running in the device is original, vanilla as is provided by the Autoelectric.
My firmware updater can do more than this, it can update the CS with A firmware and viceversa. The minipro software check the programmer type and update it with A firmware for A device and CS firmware for CS device.
As a matter of fact the so called "hack" is not a hack in the true sense, it is a simple method to (re)program the TL866 with the firmware of your choice, even with a custom one, which normally the minipro software does not allow this kind of operation. As i stated clearly in the PM there's no "firmware update to close the hack"! please stop thinking about this is counterproductive.
