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

This works for me on my nexus 5 and moto 5G.

output:

[build.id]: [M4B30X]
[build.version.release]: [6.0.1]
[build.version.sdk]: [23]
[build.version.security_patch]: [2016-10-05]
[product.brand]: [google]
[product.manufacturer]: [LGE]
[product.model]: [Nexus 5]
[product.name]: [hammerhead]
[serialno]: [05xxxxxxxxxxx4]
[device.imei]: [xxxxxxxxxxxx]
[device.phonenumber]: [+xxxxxxxxxx]

Script: get.deviceinfo.bash

#!/bin/bash
# Get the device properties
adb shell getprop | grep "model\|version.sdk\|manufacturer\|ro.serialno\|product.name\|brand\|version.release\|build.id\|security_patch" | sed 's/ro\.//g'
# get the device ime
echo "[device.imei]: [$(adb shell service call iphonesubinfo 1 | awk -F "'" '{print $2}' | sed '1 d'| tr -d '\n' | tr -d '.' | tr -d ' ')]"
# get the device phone number
echo "[device.phonenumber]: [$(adb shell service call iphonesubinfo 19 | awk -F "'" '{print $2}' | sed '1 d'| tr -d '\n' | tr -d '.' | tr -d ' ')]"

It requires:

• UBS debugging ON (developer options)
• adb (Android SDK Platform Tools)
