When I try to find the SN of my Galaxy s8 + (G955F) I can not find it by dialing * # 06 # or in the settings, the device information shows something that is not the SN. Can someone who knows the subject help me?
It's right there the circled numbers. That's your serial number.

If the serial number is not the same as on the box that it came with the device, then it's not.

According to Z3X Tool the circled numbers of the image is the Unique Number, not serial number, I do not know why it shows it instead of the serial, also on the back of my cell phone it shows another one that is the same as the box mobile phone.
i have S8+ G955FD Dual Sim & my phone show both IMEI & SN number i don't know why your phone not showing SN number in box maybe samsung change it not to show in IMEI box for your model or maybe there is a bug case this

I've upgraded the software to wm6. As it is mentioned before it changes imei. Not a big problem normally.
BUT
Im living in Turkey and here, to use a phone you bought from another country, you have to register the imei of the phone. Upgade process added 2 digits (25) at the end of the imei. And since imei is a standard code they wont accept this code for the registration process. Since i dont have a serial cable i cannot use xda imei changer. is there a way to revert this back? maybe by using another rom or phone-based application?
Thanks in advance

No panic. The IMEI didn't change.
What you see is IMEISV, an extended IMEI with software version number. It has 17 decimal digits(14 digits plus 1 check digit plus 2 SVN digit). 14 most significant digits of the IMEISV without the SVN is the originial IMEI. The last 2 digit identifying the revision of the software installed on the phone.
For example, the IMEISV code 35703600-CCCCC-D-EE
35703600 identifies that it is HTC prophet model
CCCCC is the serial sequence of the model, uniquely identifying a unit of this model
D the Luhn check digit of the previous 14 digit IMEI
EE the 'software version number'
The SVN allows the manufacturer to identify different software versions of a given type approved mobile. The SVN is a separate field from the IMEI, although it is associated with the IMEI, and when the network requests the IMEI from the mobile, the SVN (if present) is also sent towards the network.
I know that it ICS is being released and it has not been pushed out to all, but I noticed that the serial number under About Tablet -> Status is not the same as the s/n for the sticker. Do I need to worry about not getting ICS because of a serial mismatch like the Prime users?
No. Your serial number is not in your 'about tablet' section, that is your firmware version, different thing entirely.
I know that it is the firmware when you go to the about tablet, but from there I click on Status and it lists the Battery status, Battery Level, IP, MAC Address, Bluetooth , Serial Number and Uptime. So this serial number doesn't match the sticker on my tablet?
That is the device's unique ID number, that isn't the same thing as the serial number (B70KAS9082734 etc, whereas the number in the status is hexidecimal, not manufacturing date codes). That is the device ID number that you would get in an ADB shell or something, to identify multiple devices from one another..disregard.
Thanks. I guess will will patiently wait
i was having problems with my uscc GS3 on MJA so i was using dfs cdma tool and i seen the "NV" tab and there was a local / server box on the right.
when i clicked on server a big list of phones would show up.

which did repair my phone but now when i look in settings>more>about device>status>meid it shows it is different then the one in dfs tool program>general>meid which matches my sticker
im of course wanting the meid that is showing in about device changed to the original (correct) meid showing on my sticker
what do i do?
Hi...I am using a galaxy note 5 which was bought from usa under verizon mobile phone company which I believe to be unlocked since I can use my local sim carrier in this device. The problem is that.... I am facing with software update. You see the software update option is very much supposed to be in this pattern.....
settings>about device>software update.
But I am seeing the software update option directly inside the settings option, right underneath 'about device' option rather than seeing inside 'about device' option which really confuse me. And also upon clicking on software update which is located underneath about device (ofcourse -_-) Says that 'software update is temporarily unavailable'.
And 2nd issue is I cant find this device's imei number. Of course I know the procedure of finding imei number which is open dial pad and dial *#06#. But when ever I dial *#06# the dial pad remain unchanged rather than popping up the imei number.
Please guys help me out with this issues
My phone has stopped logging to mobile network recently and I have found out it has incorrect IMEI number: 350000000000006.
I would like to change it to the correct number that is printed on the phone cover.
I have rooted the phone, installed Xposed and Device ID Changer Pro. The app says the number has been modified and displays correct one, but when I use *#06# it still displays incorrect IMEI as above. Also logging to mobile networks is still not active.
The phone is Galaxy S6, Android 7.0. It has been purchased some 2 years ago as used phone. I suppose I should contact the seller but I don't think I can reach him any more.
Does anybody know why there is mismatch between what Device ID Changer shows compared to *#06#?
Take note that Android's Device ID ( to be correct: ANDROID_ID ) isn't same as IMEI: 2 totally different things.
FYI:
Android_ID is a 64-bit quantity that is generated and stored when the device first boots. ANDROID_ID is not unique for an Android device, it even can be NULL.
The IMEI number is your Android device's own identification number - what contains origin, model, and serial number. There isn't one device that has the same IMEI number as another device

I understand that. Device ID changer gives an option to update both, and a few more.
One more question: should I be able to request Samsung to revert the IMEI to the original one?
No.
You can't fix IMEI using the app.
You can just spoof ID using the app.
