Get UUID without iTunes

Question

I am looking for a way to extract my iPhone (OS v3.0) UUID without using iTunes. I tried "UUID Revealer" from Cydia Store but that is not working on my system. I could SSH with WinSCP and I have a Terminal Program Installed. Any chances using one of those tools (or another one) to bring to light my UUID? Thanks

This is super easy on Windows. You can also go to Control Panel > Devices and printers in win 7. Plug in the phone

Device Manager > Iphone 
Right - click
Properties > Hardware Tab
Properties > Details Tab
Property > Device Instance Path

UUID is the last device path listed.

USB\VID_05AC&PID_1297\UUID String

Enjoy skipping itunes installation.

Answer 3

On an apt-compatible Linux use:

sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice-utils

Now you can do

idevice_id -l

to get the device UUID while it's connected by USB.

Answer 4

There are probably 20 "UUID Display" apps in the app store. I think the best thing to do is to try a few and see what works for you. Like almost everything else in the App Store, the apps to show UUID is saturated.

HI just tried a free app (I have no affiliation with this app) and it worked on my 3G.

Answer 5

You could try iStat (99¢) from Bjango or you could plug your iPhone into your computer, and open the Organizer (Window » Organizer) and it will show it there). Or you could take @wkw's idea to do it programatically.

Answer 6

open cydia and at the bottom on the homescreen you'll find the UUID. no need for windows either

Answer 7

You can get this by opening up XCode. The device will have a label called "Identifier". This is your UUID.

Answer 8

On VMWare:

1. open the VMWare-Logs (On Linux: in your VMWare Directory, vmware.log).
2. Plugin your Iphone and connect it in VMware as USB-Device
3. Search in the logs for: "USB: Device [name:Apple". In this Line, you find serialnum:. This is the UUID you"re searching for.
