Blu Blu Member Licensed User Jan 21, 2025 #1 Hello everyone, I understand there are similar threads, such as this one: Grab Serial Number of Device. However, I would like to know if there have been any updates or changes recently. In our company, we need to register the hardware serial number (S/N) printed on the back of our devices. On Windows, I can easily retrieve it using the ADB command $ adb devices. Is there a similar way to achieve this functionality directly on the device using B4X? Thank you for your help!

Alternatively, you might consider using Generate Unique Id on Android No permissions Needed from Addo. Addo has tested and determined that the value does not change after a factory reset. This seems to be an alternative to determine which unique device it is by software. Upvote 0
