#### The stock ROM/firmware/factory image method
Another way to find a certified fingerprint is to download a stock ROM/firmware/factory image for your device and extract the fingerprint from there.
XDA member @ipdev has spent quite some time creating an automated script for extracting the necessary information from a downloaded stock ROM/firmware/factory image, and it can even create a fingerprints list for you. You can find it together with instructions on how to use it here: https://github.com/ipdev99/mHideGP
