I dont think you have a serial number. Its just an IMEI number on phones that identifys it

There is a serial number under the battery as well as the phone IMEI.
Look under the battery and look on the box. The barcode under the IMEI number has some numbers under it, that is your device serial number.
Thanks, under the battery there it says S/N and then there is a number.. is it safe to assume that this is the serial number?
Note that this is different to the number on the barcode on the box
Yes, S/N stands for serial number

Could I just ask how many digits (decimal or hexadecimal) the serial number is...?
(I won't bother trying to explain why I'm wondering)
Isn't the IMEI-no. the serial number?

thnx brother
Serial number not vaild...?
I'm trying to do this in Kies and am having no luck. I've tried the following:
IMEI + Model Name
S/N + Model Name
IMEI + 2 digit IMMEISV + Model Name
I've entered pretty much every number I can find on the box. When I enter the S/N and Model Name (SGH-i777) I get a weird character message
What am I missing here?

"wierd" as 00195ef068dfae -this is what my phone shows for S/N under Settings/About. But this is another baseband/imei stuff problem.
And the actuall SN (under the battery) is ofc not showing! And the box only shows IMEI + Barcode + color
I don't know if this is right, true or works, but from a IMEI blacklist checking site i discovered that the the imei contains the following :
TAC: XXXXXX FAC: XX SNR: 580206 CD: 3, so if someone can confirm that these SNR: digits are actually the SN of phone than you solve it. Cheers mate.
Same as me..not same as in the back of the phone afer flash stock firm from sammy

Hi guys,
After flashing Resurrection Remix and back to stock ICS I noticed my serial number is saying 'unknown' Now I have read about some similar topics about this, but I have got something else.
I decided to flash the ICS bootloader. After that my serial was 0009ca6038****. After that I checked with 'abd devices' and it came back with: 304D9ca6038****.
Note: These two are almost the same except for the first 4 characters.
Then I looked at the sticker under the battery and I saw s/n: RF1C50*****. So that's completely different.
Now, which one should be correct? Does your sticker match your serial?
And last but not least: how to solve this?
I am running a CM9 nighlty build on my S2 and the serial number in Settings -> About -> Status is also "unknown"
The first time i realized this was as i read your post.
I have no problems with my phone, so I think the unknown serial number is not important.
I have a RN10pro. When I type *#06#. It says serial number is unknown. How to fix this?
Dear All,
I just came to notice that the serial number in the battery compartment of my SGS3 (GT-I9300) is different from that of the Settings>About Device>Status>Serial number. How come? Also when I tried to enter the serial number taken from Settings >About Device>Status>Serial number and typed it into firmware upgrade and initialization of Kies, it works, but when I input the one from the battery compartment of my SGS3, it says "Please check the serial number and enter it again". My first guess is that somehow the mobile I have is some kind of cheat or something (I bought it in China but is not for the Chinese market, it is kind of smuggled to China). May be the chinese just paste the sticker in the battery compartment or whatever. Any thoughts on it?
Thanks
If your phone was branded by any carrier than it could have two different serial numbers. One encoded in efs partition (showed in about phone status menu) and it has 11 chars. Second one is Samsung's device factory service number and it has 16 chars (hex format).
Both are correct. First is used to initialize your phone as you said. You can also register your phone in Samsung service center with this one.
If you like you can use some tools (Network Signal Info or similar) which will show you the second one which should be the same as number under battery.
Don't worry. I suppose that serial number changing is hard to do operation. All you need is correct IMEI number which should be the same as this on phone's box.

I have a very similar issue. I am with T-Mobile USA, so I have a slightly different variant of the SGS3. I am running a custom ROM. Now when I flash a factory stock ROM, my serial Number matches that which is under my battery. When I flash cyanogen mod 10 based Roms it changes. The factory Stock Is 11 digits and the new one is only 8 digits. I guess my question is why are my numbers 8 and 11 digits? Is the because of my carrier?
Hi guys I know when you change your CSC on your phone you have to type in your IMEI number, if i typed in the wrong IMEI would it change the IMEI number that is displayed on the phone? Its just im sending it off for warranty and i want to make sure that everything seems perfect as I have rooted it. Everything is back to stock and the flash counter is reset. I just wanted to make sure that the IMEI number hasn't been changed or anything by accident when changing the CSC.
Thanks guys

Only you know your correct IMEI have a look on the phone and under the battery .

i know what my IMEI number is, but there are / within the number on the sticker on the back of my phone, where as on the device itself its just 15 continuous numbers, is that normal ?
Also is the IMEI linked with the the CSC, e.g if I changed the CSC to a different one would they know ?

almost certainly not - changing the IMEI is far, far more complex than that
I believe you can also check if the phone is in a rather "legit state" if Kies will let you upgrade firmware (and of course if it recognizes your SIM).
Hello!
i have a galaxy s3 and it's now can't make calls or even enable mobile data so i don't have a network. But i know how to solve it but i have the real imei adress and the problem is that i don't have serial number (is not in the white box under the battery beacause i changed the motherboard and i put a new one which conatins a new IMEI adress and a new SN) Note: when i changed the new motherboard everything was working ok but i lost the SN just now
So all the data in the white box under the battery don't interest me cuz it's for the old motherboard.
So to fix that issue i want a methode to find the Serial Number through the IMEI adress. How can i do that? thanks
Try kies.

Sorry to give you the bad news, but there is absolutely NO relation between the SN and the IMEI. ABSOLUTELY NONE. The SN goes up by 1 at a time, but the IMEI, for the TAC, FAC and SNR it depends on the country of manufacture, the year/month of manufacture, and is assigned to each device in particular. SNR, along with the IMEI is random-ish, but the SN is not. SO this is why you can't retrieve the SN from the IMEI.
Hi, I just bought a LG G5 recently on ebay... I was just checking in the hardware information's to register my phone on the LG website but my S/N section is empty ?
Is this normal ? It doesn't show any serial number at all... I can see the
Model Number : RS988
Up Time : 76:08:06
Life Time Calls : 22:26:16
Warranty date code : a date here
S/N : -Empty
Wi-fi adresss : adress here
Bluyetooth Adress : adress here
The only thing I found is a serial on the battery but not so sure it's the phone serial number since the battery is removable and exchangeable.
Is it maybe because I have the Unlocked version, and the RS988 is also Boot loader Unlocked ?
