This a small application I wrote to automatically retrieve the DeviceID on your PC without having to open the registry editor. It can also create the DeviceID.txt file with the id value stored. It's written in Java so it requires JRE to be installed (most of you already have this)
http://rapidshare.com/files/403680176/DeviceID.jar.html
Make sure you have Sony Ericsson Update Service installed otherwise the device id will not be created in the registry
UPDATE: App updated to show all Device Ids stored in the registry
still dont work for me
windows 7 x64
It's been downloaded too many times (10) for a Free Rapid Share account, it is no longer downloadable, you'll have to upload elsewhere

Hi !
As you can see I have more Strings in the registry ?
Whats your methot of determining which is the right one as they all show different DeviceID Strings ?

I always get the first one, there is no way afaik to determine which one is getting used at any point. I can maybe change it so that it displays everything and lets u select the one you want to use
Well the point's not what I want to use, it more what's the right one at time of flashing. Is it save to delete those keys so the right one is rebuilt inn case of reconnecting the device ?
it's really not easy to find which one is being used at any point. i don't know if it's safe to delete them from the registry, although i would suspect that it is. just make sure you use the same usb port whenever you flash. that way you avoid overcomplications with this issue
THX for the info. I'd try to find out the right one.
In my case it was the second key found, not the first!
So this tool does not work for everyone.
I have a sprint touch pro , and i cloned anther touch pro ., just for fun ., the cloned one gets voice txt all ok., however, i cant get connection to internet .
I copied all the info that i could by doing ##778# , profile , modem setting nam ...etc still cant get provision to work, connect , still no experts here.??
is there a way , a program can copy these sensetive settings and can copy to anther TP., can it be done with CDMa work shop ..or other programs , and if so how please.
If you are speaking of a cloned esn then good luck getting it to work as no one or very few have done that. Otherwise you could try I believe a program called PST, save the settings and put them on your other "Cloned" phone. Good luck!
Thank you much for making the effort and replyed., i used or had this program long time back with my motorola Q.but not sure if i look up this program know how to go about using it.??
I was able to get internet on my cloned TP1, but its a bit slow , do not know why .,indeed there is a glitsh , since i cant update profile or prl ...etc the provisioning ...etc, but for know i can even hook up the TP to the PC and get online, but slower still than the original TP1.
ill look into that program PST , maybe i can improve on what i have so far .
sincerely
I believe sprint uses Akey for data identification/authentication, which could be your issue.
pst could not find., only motorola pst i think i was able to find., the Akey window has nothing or if some not much ., the only thing i could not duplicate some pass words , they are wriiten in some alphabets i cant type., they look like some forgien alphabets ..numbers ...etc ., not sure if anyone knows what iam talking about ., but if so, how would i go about copying them from one phone to anther.
try copying the authentication passwords with a 3rd party notepad app. (like phm notepad) the passwords are in unicode and the native notepad does not support.
ok if i may an update
thank you for making the effort you all ., so anyhow i tried to do it i didnt know how.
i installed the PHM note pad ., but didnt know how to copy paste the password from security setting.
for example ##778# then go to security , and try to copy the password under
HDR AN AUTH Password******************
anyone knows of a trick or can instruct me how to do it.??
sincerely
you just need to block his password and copy it, then the security you click on the column filling the password and press Ctrl +V on your keyboard
Iam sorry i didnt understand your instructions.??, i need to block his password.??
If you may be kind please redo the instructions step by step .
thank you
block=highlight=select
ok i got it, well it didnt make a difference that i copied the passwords , not sure why ., it works but way slower than original ., and the passwords didnt make a difference.
Hi all!
My GF is getting a new phone and we are having real trouble remembering her Google mail password!
We have tried all the recovery options on-line, but Google are pretty useless at recovering passwords and its driving me insane!
Now, on her old phone, it all still works, and Im just wondering if there is anyway at all as to recover or dig out the password from in the phone somewhere!
Any help would be appreciated as this is driving me insane haha
Cheers

I found this with google from another forum, password could be stored in
/data/data/com.google.android.gm/database/gmail.db
and related files to google account in
Code:
/data/system/accounts.db
/data/system/sync/accounts.xml
/data/data/com.google.android.gm/databases/gmail.db
/data/data/com.google.android.providers.calendar/databases/calendar.db

/data/data/com.google.android.providers.talk/databases/talk.db
/data/data/com.google.android.providers.subscribedfeeds/databases/subscribedfeeds.db
Haven't tried myself cause I have no account of any type, so I dont know if passwords are plain text or hashed...
If this fails, I can share you my method anyway:
Connect both your PC and phone to the same home wifi network.
Install a POP3 server on your PC (ok this could be a pain in the @ss, I give you a hint on a easy one: Argo Mail server)
Activate and run it, then take your PCs IP (let's say it's 192.168.0.2)
Edit your Gmail account from the phone, and change the server from gmail's to 192.168.0.2, edit the ports and set it to use POP and plain authentication without encryption (default port should be 110).
Check your mail from the phone ! You just hijacked your credentials from the gmails secure server to your home mail server, that will of course give you an error because there is no account for that address. But you are then able to intercept the password because it's sent as plain text !! And should work for any email address, as long as you are able to edit the server address in the mailbox settings.
Just don't use it to bash into ur GFs email
not a clue how to get into /data/data/com.google.android.gm/database/gmail.db! haha
But i just tried you 2nd method, and i have the e-mail server setup no problem, but there isnt any options to change the Gmail address/port on the phone :s ARGH!

You can use adb shell to get that file, but I always use my dear QuickSSHd and get it with WinSCP on my pc. If I get any permission error, I open my Root Explorer and mount the root with r/w permission ! With that you can access any file in your phone/memory card.
As for the second, this is supposed to work only if you can change the address of the server and auth method ... if you are using an app with hardcoded server and port (and you could even hijack it that connection to your server) it will still be encrypted and you might not get the password...
Wow! Didn't realize recovering a password would be such a pain in the ass! My issue is I have been using LastPass and last night it decided to lose my Gmail info. Now I can only get to it from my DInc. I had LastPass generate a 20 digit secure password and it is too long to remember it all.
Google, being the dicks they are expect you to jump through hoops to try to get it back and will "get back to you" in 3-5 days. if you haven't tried They want the last password you remember, when you opened the account and on and on....
Reading this second method here, I am unsure exactly what to do. I am a noob at this linux based stuff and not terribly familiar with adb. I barely muddled through all it took to root my DInc and install a custom ROM.
A little more help? Maybe?
EDIT: Got QuickSSHd and WinSCP working together, but I have no idea where to look for the file to change the POP IP address to try to recover this password.
Never mind .....
Hello! I have a little bit different problem.... I have changed the password in Facebook last month and is stored in my Samsung Galaxy 5... How i can recover the password? My android app has stored the password so i can login only from this... i can't restore the password from my pc because i don't have anymore access to this email account.... is there any solution?

Thanks ell3!! It's a really witty solution that i would never have come up with and I just used it to recover my mail password from kitkat's mail app. I used Wireshark to sniff the traffic during the authentication attempt and it worked really fine.

The method is good but you do not need to complicate yourself. Do not install mail server install wireshark and with a r73 or any wifi that can capture promiscuous you can sniff your username and password

For recovery of password from HTC Email app you unbase64 the password field, then you unbase64 the result and then you switch pair of characters like this "0123..." -> "1032..."
Following this procedure your password should be "shooshoom".
Can you please confirm this is correct?
Yes it works but I can't understand exactly how?!
I decode the "YUhOdmIyaHpiMjl0" via base64decode.net and result is: "aHNvb2hzb29t"
What is your mean about "switch pair of characters" exactly?

At first you have "YUhOdmIyaHpiMjl0"
you decode base64, you get "aHNvb2hzb29t"
then you decode base64 the result, you get "hsoohsoom"
now you switch pairs of characters (first with second, third with fourth...) and you finally get "shooshoom"

if your device is rooted then navigate to "data/data/com.htc.android.mail/databases" and copy the file "mail.db". Then open given file in some program that can open sqlite database for example SQLiteStudio. Then locate the table with name "accounts" in which are the _password and _outpassword values obfuscated in a way that was described above. If your device is not rooted, then you can extract the file through ADB backup.
nice one bro

Can anyone help me, I lost my yahoo mail password, i cant recovery because is a old account and the number that they have on file is from another country , im been looking for help everyone, i have the email on my android phone but i dont receive mail for some reason, i try to reade the database of the samsung.mail but all i see is the email that im trying to recovery and at the password field i see a code encryted i think . 4fLOS0UXlNkBh1Uc8kDW6g== ..
how do i decrypt that no idea someone help i really need this email back
Sorry if wrongly posted but I need some help,
Today I lost my WhatsApp chat history somehow and I am trying to restore it, did all the tricks I could find.... but no success.
My wife died the 22th of April and I really want her msgs back :crying:
I Have no Key file (searched for it but can't find it
Tried xTract butcouldn't open my files
Tried a bunch of websites...
I got one msgstore.db.crypt file
7 msgstore.db.crypt7 files with dates (the last 7 backups I guess)
1 msgstore.db.crypt7 file
1 msgstore.db.crypt5 file
Who can help me out ?
Sorry to hear about your wife passing. I can't even imagine...
I'm not really familiar with Whatsapp but thought I'd give a crack at getting to help nevertheless. So, to get your key, you have to be rooted. But it seems like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2689911
might have a lot of useful info on how to decrypt them and I'm sure someone there knows how to get the key too.
Thnx, I tried the web-version from WhatsCrypt but liked said I am unable to get a keyfile.... it's not in the folders, tried the App version now too... it decrypts a DB but also unable to get a Keyfile (file isnt there)
I will not give up tho
*edit* Saw you are running a rom, so am assuming you are rooted. Duh...
But I see you posted over on that thread. They would obviously know more about it than I would. I wish you well!
I dunno if this might help at all:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tricrypt
And I guess you should be able to find your key in the /data/data folder for Whatsapp.
I've tried all those tools but did not got any msg back, there is no keyfile located in that folder I've checked like a thousands of times.
Well, guess I need to write support
Ok. So here's the deal:
My SGS3 I9300 exynos phone did the famous IMEI 0049 and SN null trick.
I cannot say what precipitated it but is simply stopped registering on the network, so no calling or data. All other functions operational.
After much searching and reading, I settled on flashing the stock 4.3 back. This succeeded only in doing absolutely nothing to alleviate this issue. I wiped the entire phone. Maybe I missed a critical section wipe, but since the stock ROM overwrites all? the CSC/BL/MODEM functions I thought it would set the default for EFS (which I believe is where these critical data live). I'm not a programmer so I cannot say diddly about the architecture and interrelationship of OS files, but I am technical and I know how SW and HW does what it does.
This phone is my own and I have all the rights to it.
I had loaded RRemix ROM a loong while ago and it was functioning fine. Probably a corruption of the EFS due to battery contact being loose. This is in my mind the most likely cause as the system may be accessing the EFS files, say making a call, or accessing data, and the power drops out and voila! Corruption. But again this is theoretical.
Needless to say I tried the usual hocus-pocus out there with no avail.
Getting to understand the system better it seems obvious that these critical identification numbers are hard-coded into the chips on the phone. Which explains the ability to 'fix' them with JTAG and other cable/box solutions and SW. However, I cannot see how the SW loses the ability to read the IMEI/SN that is hard-coded (fused?) into the main-board.
All my research pointed to the EFS files having something to do with this.
Way back when I loaded the custom ROM I did not come across the 'backup your EFS' as a necessary step, so I had nothing to go back on.
And loading the stock 4.3 ROM back on and not having that fix the issue, led me to believe something else was up.
Somewhere in the guts of this phone something is screwing up the layer between reading the registers where the numbers sit and the software layer that reports the numbers.
So, much searching led to the nv_data.bin file being a key component in all this fiasco.
Now, before I say any more, I believe that describing the next steps could be a big no-no here.
Now, understand, all I want to do is get MY personal device working again. I have the SN and IMEI numbers on the physical device.
Sure, I could have stolen it and am attempting to change these to avoid prosecution. Anyone can say anything online.
Therefore, before I can proceed, I need advice from moderators and VPP to either say 'Yes you may post this info' or 'No. Go away'.
Am I allowed to do the following:
1) Describe how I restored my IMEI (Not changed, overwritten, or subverted to my limited knowledge)
2) In the case of 1 not allowed, post the link to where I found the info to achieve this.
3) Submit the 'fix' to a moderator or developer to check whether this is indeed and restoration or a change.
If it's a restoration of existing functionality, I cannot see how this could be a problem. If its changing something, then it's a whole other sack of ferrets.
My reasons for posting are that xdadevelopers has given me years of joy with my SG devices. (Yes, I have the whole range exclusively) Many ROMS, customs, fixes, hints and saves deserves something back, and the difficulty in achieving this particular fix, warrants it.
But I don't want to break any rules, this being my first post.
So, please let me know what I can do to help others stuck in this position...
You can find it if you have the correct search parameters. Perhaps I can say that instead?
Thanks.
And thanks to all who have helped over the years.

[Edit] Just to clarify, the solution requires no special HW or 'boxes'. You do need root, however, and a hex editor. I had a reply explaining the use of Octoplus, which requires credits and registration. You will need none of those.
I can't speak English but I will try.
1- flash stock firmware.
2- root your device s3 .
3-in the web download " octuplus crack box"
4-in youtube see how install " octuplus crack"
5- before install stop your antivirus PC
6- open octuplus and connecte your phone with PC
7- chose your device i9300 .
8 click repair imie
9 click read info and do what OCTU said to do.
10- click repair or write the true imie in your device ( remove battery to see)and click repair.
11- restart phone .
12- see: call work fine
13- in phone go to mobile network\ access point names\ apn's
14- write your network.

How to restore corrupted or null 0049 IMEI on SGS3.
Right.
Thanks to the moderators for agreeing to let me share the solution. :good:
Thanks to the reddit poster who found this solution. I don't know how the hell you figured this out, but big-ups to you. For privacy I will not mention names or addresses.
You do need a rooted phone and I cannot assist anyone without root as I have not tried it.
Whether this only works to restore a corrupt IMEI or change it, I cannot say, but it managed to restore my existing one.
Preparation: Get your IMEI number from under your battery compartment. Say your IMEI no. is: 123456789101213, write/type it in the following fashion: 1 23 45 67 89 10 12 13
Now some funky transposition: Excluding the first number, transpose the subsequent pairs of numbers so that you have: 1 32 54 76 98 01 21 31. Can you see it? Swap 23 to get 32. 45 to get 54 and so on.
Now add 08 to the beginning and add A after the 1 so that the completed number is: 08 1A 32 54 76 98 01 21 31
Now you will need:
Rooted Galaxy S3 (This may work for all android devices that have an EFS folder. If anyone can confirm that would help others.)
Hex editor (PC based or Android app) - PC is faster and easier. I used hex workshop trial version but I'm sure any editor will do. I used the default install configuration.
USB Data cable (if using PC editor mentioned above)
You should probably back up the EFS folder entirely, just to be sure.
Using your favorite root explorer browse to root/EFS folder and copy the nv_data.bin file to an accessible area in sdcard. I use a /sdcard/Downloads folder.
Either open the file with your hex editor app or transfer the file to PC where you can open it with your hex editor program.
Open the file and jump to address 00550.
Now, get your modified IMEI number from the prep steps above and enter the values in the ASCII TEXT window to the right, NOT the HEX values window to the left. This may be different for other editors but hex workshop works like this.
Double check your address and entered data. When satisfied, save the file and transfer back to the phone if copied to PC.
Now, place the phone in Airplane mode, turning off the cell radios.
Go to the EFS folder and rename the original nv_data.bin file to something else. I used nv_databak.bin.
Copy the modified nv-data file into the EFS folder.
Turn off Airplane mode and do a full reboot.
Your IMEI number should be restored and cellular functions should work.
My previously garbled serial number was also restored.
I hope this works for you. I have no knowledge of any other method as I did not delve further into trying other numbers or such. I can't assist any more other than further clarifying the steps above if you don't understand something.
If anyone can decipher what is going on here, I would love to hear about it. I suspect something between the HW and SW layers is getting garbled or corrupted and this kick starts the process to get the correct data again.
Maybe.
May also contain nuts.
Hastalavista.

THANKS FOR POSTING THIS HERE!
I have this Samsung Galaxy S3 that I bricked 4 years ago and never wanted to sell it or even try to give it away. I searched for months for a frekin solution to this problem. Yesterday night i decided i wanted to try and install custom roms on it and so i wanted to give another shot at this stupid issue i had with the lost IMEI before doing so...and BAM! Today it's fixed!
I'm so thankfull I wanted to post here so that you know that you helped at least one person with this
Thanks a bunch!
@TrinityTrip54
Hi,
can you confirm that this is a permantent solution and remains when flashing new (custom) ROMs? Or is it just for the current installed ROM?
And I am having an issue with "jump to address 00550" in Hex Workshop. There is no address like this, just 540 and the next one is already 558. When inserting 00550 in the goto search field of Hex Workshop it jumps to 210. Any idea?
thanks anyway.
