[Q] Kindle Fire serial number

Does anyone know or have any idea where the Kindle Serial Number is located in the device? (not through the menu but stored within the device), the reason I ask is because I am testing eldarerathis' FFF extended bootloader and I was tinkering with flashing Stock ROM (rooted) to the alternate partitions, funny thing is that for some reason the OS is unable to retrieve the Serial Number and so you can't register the device with Amazon. I've looking through every file within the ROM and I have not been able to identify anything that could possibly give me a hint of where the Serial Number is located.
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions are greatly appreciated.

If it was sitting in some file, it would be much too easy to spoof and lead to sharing Prime accounts, etc. It would have to be embedded in the hardware somewhere. That's my way of telling you that I have no idea why that setup would have a hard time retrieving the serial number.

Why are things like this in the Dev section? This needs to be moved to Q&A
The only reason is I feel there is a better chance of getting a response for this type of question from active devs than most regular users. If not agreed by a moderator I'll gladly move this to the Q&A.
I recently bought a Kindle Fire from Ebay and I'm unable to register it on Amazon.
The amazon reps told me that the serial number is blacklisted and recomanded me to return the device to sender and ask for refund.
Well, I'm unable to do that and I don't want to install a custom rom on it.
The serial should be located within the software, and there should be a way to change it (like adding IMEI - see the guide in the dev section).
will it work with fastboot ? does this change the serial number or jst the number that 'adb devices' will display ?
fastboot -s <serial number> specify device serial number
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
you say you dont want to install a custom rom but its really the best and easyiest way around it... I recommend this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916

It wouldn't do you any good to change the serial number. There's a corresponding security key number paired with it, so changing one won't help without the other. Since Modaco is just an enhanced version of the stock software, it wouldn't be any different either in terms of obtaining Amazon services on the device (sorry pooch).
Contact ebay/paypal and file a dispute.

Vendor and Product ID help please

Trying to connect a generic Bluetooth Gamepad to Fire TV2, although it connects fine and can navigate menus perfectly fine it refuses to work with Retroarch, saying (unconfigured).
Im quite certain i need to have the .kl file in place but im not sure how to assign the correct .kl file.
Can anyone with the knowhow please give me the correct command to list attached devices from adb, then i will know the product id and vendor id to configure it.
I did use it previously for a different controller but for the life of me i cant remember what the command was!.
Thanks in advance.

Early debug output

Is it possible to get some kind of UART or Serial port over USB at the start of the phone?
I want to dig into a issue where a ROM - under a specific circumstances - hard bricks my device (that means, no system, no recovery). However, it happens during a early boot stage. I only have a chance of finding the culprit when I have access to the (kernel) log. If Qualcomm devices have even more detailed logs (before the kernel is started?) I would like to read those to.
Mind that saving the log and reading it out doesn't work here... at the point I need to access it my device is already hard-bricked.
I read somewhere that QCSC devices have a USB UART / Serial mode, but I can't find any concrete information about it.
Would love to hear your thoughts about this.
