# Android manufacturer names

This reference lists the allowed values used to identify Android devices by
zero-touch enrollment. Both the APIs and portal's CSV importing check values
against the lists in this reference.

To help avoid errors when you claim devices for a customer, you
[identify](https://developers.google.com/zero-touch/guides/identifiers) each device using a hardware ID or
metadata and the manufacturer's name. A combination of values helps prevent
provisioning the wrong device because of a mistyped ID.

## Manufacturers

To identify the correct manufacturer value to use, ask the device manufacturer,
or use [adb](https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb) to query the
value from the device with the following command:
`console
adb shell getprop ro.product.manufacturer`
.

## Models

To identify devices by serial number zero-touch enrollment uses a
combination of the device's serial number, manufacturer, and model. The APIs and
CSV import check that both the model value and manufacturer value are from a
launched device.
