Is there an android shell or adb command that I could use to get a device's IMEI/MEID?

Question

Is there some adb or android shell command that I could run that would return a device\'s IMEI or MEID number? Preferably that\'s all that would be returned.

Answer 1

For ESN you can do

service call iphonesubinfo 16

at least it gives me the right one on Motorola Photon Q.

To clean it up (assuming you have shell on the device and have a capable busybox there, if not I highly recommend one):

    service call iphonesubinfo 16 | busybox awk -F "'" '{print $2}' | busybox sed 's/[^0-9A-F]*//g' | busybox tr -d '\n' && echo

For MEID with cleanup:

service call iphonesubinfo 1 | busybox awk -F "'" '{print $2}' | busybox sed 's/[^0-9A-F]*//g' | busybox tr -d '\n' && echo
