We use that command to identify models in scripts (e.g. for the penultimate product it returns 'Max2').
Okay, did a bit of googling and took a trip over to XDA. Was able to successfully install ADB on my laptop. However, could not get it to connect to my Note. Whenever I typed in " adb devices ", nothing came up.

I thought maybe I was doing something wrong, so I tried connecting a tablet. It recognized the tablet immediately, and I was able to use your commands on the tablet. I was actually then able to use ADB to extract an apk from a purchased app so that I could install it on my Note. Took a bit of time to figure things out, but worked without a hitch.

Not sure why ADB doesn't connect to the Note. But at least it was not time wasted as I can now install my purchased apps on the Note until they sort the Play Store issue out.
