[Q] Device Serial number differences - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I have noticed the following regarding the serial number of my phone (Huawei G500 pro - rooted - stock ROM)
When I go to System Settings\About phone\status i get the serial number 0123456789ABCDEF
But the sticker under the battery and in the package display a different one which looks like a normal 16 characters serial number.
I can only see the sticker's serial number when boot to factory settings (pressing power button & Vol -) in PCBA test.
In some other forums I read that the serial number can also be found in file /sys/class/android_usb/f_accessory/device/iSerial
In my case this file shows the 0123456789ABCDEF.
Does anybody has an idea what is happening?
Is there a way to have my normal serial number to be appeared?
Thank you

I don't know how to fix this but the same thing happened to me with my optimus v.

At least I ' m not the only one that noticed this. So you 've also checked and through factory menu or you compared with the sticker?
By the way are you rooted?

i have noticed that too on HTC phones and Samsung phones,tablets and tabs. turned to be all these chinese replicas that will bare the same look same software but different performance and lacking some software properties and features. especially in settings and camera. so now before i buy any phone, it has to be opened and i avoid any (0123456789abcdef or 00000000000000) serial numbers.

Help Please: Phone Model No. is NULL !!!!!

Hello All,
I've a problem with my phone, since two months now, I noticed that my phone is not logining in to Windows Live, I've tried during this two months arround 100 of diffrent roms, I've also tried all the Radio versions, with no use.
at the same time also, I've noticed that the phone arabizer software is now using another serial no. (I was using one serial no. whatever the rom that I'm using), and as this serial is based on a user key (a combination of letters and numbers based on the phone model and serial no) this led me to figure out that my phone model is NULL (instead of PU10).
and I think that's why the Windows Live is not connecting, becuase it somehow checks the phone model number before connecting.
Anyone can provide me any help????

[Q] ESN Number

I'm posting my tablet on Swappa, which requires me to provide the ESN number of my tablet. I do not have the box for my tablet anymore, so is the ESN number located anywhere else on the device or within the operating system?

How to write serial numbers to the MB

I am trying to either find a legal program that can be used to do nothing more than write a serial number to a tablet Motherboard, or even find a way to create a simple program/app to do this for me. In replacing a board on a Samsung Android tablet, yellow block letter text appears on screen as well as displays incorrect serial number, anyone at all have any ideas on this. Needed for android tablets only though.
Thanks

[q] rock dr.z smart cover activation

Anyone got one and can tell me how to activate it?
Purchased mine from Amazon, have scanned the barcode on back which takes me to the web and tells me its a genuine product however i have not been able to get rock app i downloaded to accept any of the combinations of numbers i have entered.
It says you need to enter the serial number but nowhere on the package does it say serial number or SN.......
Nothing else inside the box apart from the case either
Its driving me made please help.
Anyone?
You can find serial number and IMEI in Settings-About Device-Status.
I don't think it's asking for the device serial number but a serial number for the product.
Its the same
I've tried entering my device serial number and does not work. The little information I've seen on the net shows a paper slip that comes with the item that had a code on it along with a bar code for the app download .
Are you using one if these cases and can you confirm this is what you have done. Finding it very frustrating at moment
Thats the one.
Do you have a link or anything to the rock app that I should be using as I have download 2 now and the device serial number does not work with either

Can you explain clearer please. Did you get a card with your case that had a qr box and a code underneath that you entered into the app or did you just use your device serial number?
I had nothing else but the case in the box and my device serial number does not work.
Email them your concern.
Tried but no reply.
Item was purchased from amazon so should be genuine.
Where did you get yours from or do you not actually have one?
You can email Amazon instead.
I've done that and all amazon do is send your email onto the seller. They are Hong Kong based I believe and very slow to reply.
Just going to send it back as just seems pointless.
There is a blue card with a serialnumber at the bottom of the box behind the gray paper on the bottom of the box.

can anyone help me identify this phone?

Hi @ all, so a friend of mine purchased this weird Phone which came in a very neutral packaging, no brand written on it just a sticker with the model name : Carbon (64 GB + 4 Gb), the S/N and the IMEI.
The Phone itself looks quite standard, its running Android 9 but it doesnt have a Playstore and on the left hand side of the Phone it has a physical switch in which you can use 3 modes,
1 . Normal mode ( all smartphone functions are enabled),
2. Privacy mode ( Camera and Mic are physically disconnected),
3. full privacy mode ( same as mode 2 but the connectivity is disabled)
the device name is by default Tapion.
Buid number: C0.03.19
I cant access the developer options by pressing build number 7 times, nothing happens
I tried to get it into the bootloader mode and recovery mode with no success.
maybe someone here could help me

Can you post more info from your About phone settings?
Install the most detailed hardware info/identification app that you can find. The Aida64 app would be sufficient.
It should give you all the hardware/software specs for your device in several different categories. Take screenshots of the information shown in the various device info pages/tabs so we can all see the information those screenshots display.
