Galaxy S2 GT9100 ICS 4.0.4 serial number BUG - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I noticed last night that my serial number in phone shows just 000000000 and not serial number.
I contacted Samsung and they said that is a bug in 4.0.4 so if you guys see this dont panic
its only a bug.
If you return to the 4.0.3 ICS the serial will appear again but who will? hahahah
Just sharing the info...

Yes I've noticed that and tried to go back to 4.0.3 => serial number appeared again

Hi everyone,
I don't know if this is of any help but I was getting "unknown" serial number on cm9, I searched around for a fix cause it was giving me problems connecting to my home wifi, I found out that flashing the ICS bootloader through ODIN fixed it, I'm still on CM9, I can see my serial number and my wifi connects, I hope this is of some help.

Failed restock

I have attempted to restock my s3 using the guide Stock Official Firmwares by Faryaab, I had a few hicups but managed to get the phone to work. I used the latest firmware from this guide (I9300XXBLG8) but first thing I tried to change the area code thing so that kies would recognize my device but once i entered my imei number using the x#272x thing but when the preconfig screen comes up i dont have the list it just says eur. and the second problem I am having is I now can not connect my s3 to my pc via usb as it has stopped working can anyone assist.
Cheers
Eddie

[Q] Not registering on network

HI,
I have read all the other threads I can find on this subject but cannot find an answer, I purchased a GT-19300 from Ebay (don’t laugh) it worked great for a couple of weeks, then I updated it with stock JB upgrade from ICS, and now it will not register on the network, I have re flashed it returned it stock, re flashed it, checked all the settings I can find, tried other sim cards from the same network and other networks, all with the same result, it shows the network in the network status screen, gives signal strength, I have checked the basic settings with another phone and all are the same. the phone is unlocked, all I did was update to Android 4.1.1 I have also since downloaded a modem rom and flashed that, did not make a difference. Device state is Normal, but the serial number is 000000000000 I am in the UK and my network is orange, but as I said I have tried an O2 sim as well with the same result. Please help!! Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, but my IMEI number is ok, it is still the same as before the upgrade, when the phone was working. the serial number is 000000000000 now, but that is not the IMEI #

Try searching a little bit more/harder next time, there is information about this bug in the forum. It's a minor bug, it's just a display issue, relax your serial number is not gone. It was fixed on the latest build LQ3 I reckon.

thank you very much for ur help , but what about the update from device ?? and from kies it says " ur device firmware isn't supported " or something like that !!
Did you use Odin or Kies to update? You could just use Odin to flash a newer version if you don't care about increasing your binary counter.

S2 serial number question important!

Hello question must be the serial number not the imei i mean the serial number! Be the same like on the sticker under the battery? Because my serial number in the phone has 14 digits and starting with 0019 i remember i mean the serial number not the imei.

It's probably screwed up, from what I have read, flashing an ICS bootloader may help.
AW: S2 serial number question important!
I flashed 4.0.3 but serial is still the same. Can someone look Hm his s2 under info status if the serial is shown like on the sticker? I repeat i do not mean the imei!
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 2
Mine's always been different in phone settings compared to what's on the sticker under the battery. Doesn't matter what firmware I've been using. I guess the point is, so what ? Means nothing. Having blah blah blah for a serial number in settings doesn't affect anything. Doesn't affect the phone one iota.
You're (attempting to) make a mountain over a (very small) molehill.
Whether it's a bootloader issue or not (no idea, tho I'm still running the 'old' bootloader), you're only going to know that if you're running the 'old' bootloader currently & you flash the 'new' bootloader. And before you ask, search. Bootloaders have been done to death on here, there is already a wealth of information (and links to download them; download size is smaller than a kernel) about bootloaders on here, I'm not adding to that resource in this thread.
There was a bug on some 4.0.3 ROMS that showed the serial number wrong. Just flash the latest Jelly Bean, don't worry your serial number is not gone.
I have the same thing. When I updated to 4.0.4 my sn shows 00000000.. now im in latest 4.1.2 with different sn.. its not like under battery. But phone is working good. I tried to flash ics bootloader and 4.0.3 but couldnt fix it.

UMI Z: incorrect serial number.

Hi, I have a problem with my "UMI Z". The serial number is displayed as "0123456789abcdef." I want to restore the correct number, but he is not on the original box (there is only a 13-digit bar code). The same problem I had with restoring IMEI, but these are printed on the label. Help please.
Not sure if it's possible and it doesn't hurt to have that serial number

You can edit edit build prop?
However my UMI Z serial number as reported by the phone does not seem to match any of the barcode numbers on the box

That won't be a permanent solution we need to have something similar to imei writer ¥(which exist in system)
Also the serial number isn't stored in build.prop
It's more likely in nvram similar to imei http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58f4650f48c46/Screenshot_20170417-084704.png?
But in order to know where we must dig in the phone.
Here's a little bit of the imei writer code invoke-interface {v0, v2, p0}, Lcom/android/internal/agui/NvRAMAgent;->writeFile(I[B)I
Where of i don't know what file it writer to
