My P8000 (white - no led) has serial number 0123456789ABCDEF which suggests its not device specific - has anyone else got this or similar?
Hey, what a coincidence! I have exactly the same serial!
Same here,whats going on.
Mediatek doesn't care about that number so everyone has the same...
Yep, same

set arbitary serial number
I cant install Navigon (which I bought some 6 years ago).
I did some google research and suspect this is due to the funny serial number. So: How to change it?
Rooting the phone was no problem, just downloaded su in Google-play.
So I can set an arbitrary serial number using adb:
adb shell 'echo "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/iSerial'
Has anybody tried this?
The serial number I read in the settings does not seem to change.
Opinions?
Did you tried to replace with engineering mode?

Hello all,
I need to know the S/N of several xDAs by programming (.NET). I'm getting a Device ID with this format: {E6461300-EB04-0801-59FF-3D511C9E393A}, but i need to get the serial number printed below the battery in order to match the Device ID with the S/N. Is there any way to convert Device ID to get S/N? Otherwise, is there any way to get the S/N (a registry key for example)?
Thanks a lot and regards,
Mario.
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.
I reflashed my Kindle recently, in order to upgrade from a rooted 6.3.1 rom to a 6.3.2 amazon based rom.
The strangest thing has now happened. My serial number changed, and I can no longer register the device with Amazon. The serial number is now 15 digits long, instead of 16 digits, and the first 4 digits are no longer D01E (standard kindle fire), and are instead 5001.
Any thoughts? How could this get corrupted?
Thanks
You mean when you type:
---
su
idme ?

In terminal? Strange...

Yup. Serial number is corrupt there too.
I'm reluctant to post the incorrect and correct serial number, but there is a digit missing, and the first 4 digits of the serial number are incorrect.
Really weird, eh? I do notice that it says nvram info. I know there is a huge interest in not changing this number, but I'd love to put back my original (correct) serial number. . . .
Frustrating.

Got it sorted. Didn't realize you can set NVRAM values with idme. Really strange that it got messed up in the first place.
Anyways, thanks, asking me to check it in idme pointed me in the right direction!

Hi guys, I want to retrieve the serial number of the device from adb. The S/N is not reported in the battery entry. So I want to try to retrive it from ADB. Can you explain me how to do that?
Thank you!
While trying to install a Custom ROM, all went wrong with a hard bricked Redmi Note 8T as result.
Have been able to revive the phone in EDL mode (Test Points method). Now running again on MIUI Global 12.5.5 (RCXEUXM).
However, the IMEI's are nulled, can't activate a SIM card. Only WiFi works.
A first, essential step in the process to repair the IMEI's, is to open the diag mode. Found a few methods, but none of these methods work.
Not via *#*#717717#*#* (Open diag failed), not via adb devices // adb shell // su // setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb (Permission denied).
The phone is rooted with Magisk; recovery OrangeFox.
Does anyone have a helpful suggestion how to proceed?
Follow-on: Meanwhile, I've been able to open the Diag-mode. Apparently, one or two switches in Magisk had masked the rooting of the phone.
Now on to editing the qcn-file with the correct IMEI's. First,I have to figure out the location of the two IMEI's, and then to correct these into the correct values.
To be continued...

I have had the same problem with my previous Redmi Note 3. And I tried so may ways to re-write the IMEI number. Finally I found a little software on the net and using my computer I was able to re-write the IMEI number to the phone. I was a long time back, so I dont remember the exact name of the software. It was something like IMEI writer (root). Connected the phone which was also rooted. Then opened the software on my PC and the software asked for superuser access, which I granted on the phone. Then there from the pc using the software I entered the IMEI numbers for both sim1 & 2, and applied then reboot phone. After reboot, the phone then detected the simcards and the imei were back.

My current problem: I can find a .qcn file and have to edit it with the proper IMEI's. Found a Qualcomm IMEI Rebuilder tool, but that tool doesn't work. With a Hex-editor it is difficult to find the proper location. Found the location of one IMEI and then saved the file with a different name. Loading that file into the Rebuilder tool indeed shows (one) correct IMEI. Have installed that file with QFIL, but when I check with *#06#, it shows a completely different IMEI...
Meanwhile, I've searched for IMEI write (root). Found IMEI Tools (ROOT)_1.4_apkcombo.com.apk.
Prooved incompatible for my phone.
Then found qualcomm-smartphone-write-imei-tool-v1.01.apk
Tried that out, but couldn't establish communication with the diag-COMport.
In fact, I can't activate the diag mode any longer... Tried and re-tried, but all in vain.
When I enter the last command ('setprop .... etc.), communication via the USB port is also stopped. Re-establishing that doesn't make a difference. No COMport appearing in device manager or in QFIL...
You need special tools like UMT or Hydra to write Note 8 imei

UMT works with dongle? Price?
I tried Hydra, but got a Trojan Horse warning, and therefore broke off installation.
Umt needs dongle.
First restore original qcn(unedited) then try flashing ENG firmware.
