I need a serial number for s6 plus verizon , I 'm staying in brick and I can not get the firmware to flash by Odin . I can only download from Kies but asks for a serial number and not have it. They help me?
go to Settings->About Phone->Status and the serial number is listed third from the bottom.
I know this is old but it is on your box for future references

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?
How will I know if I installed the right stock firmware of my S3? is there anyway to check it? for when I had my update it does not work anymore.
Serial turns to 0000000000 but with same IMEI. Is there anyway to retrieved the serial number for it does not appear on the status. plus its Service State: out of service.
Thanks
I'd guess you've manually flashed a ROM as the firmware update Samsung provided is unlikely to corrupt the serial number.
It depends what you've flashed as to how to solve it, search and read for other similar situations here in XDA Q&A. You don't give any real details so no-one can help you.
If you made a full back up of all the partitions using the S3 toolkit then this might save you, if not then flashing the right stock ROM might put it right, or even just the right modem for your country.

Do you not know what firmware you started with ???? or that your phone vendor supplied . No backup ??
Try Kies
Tools Firmware initialization
Or the HDSWVER code in your registry .

Hi Android Gods. I have GT-I9300 International version Samsung Galaxy SIII. I started getting " Not Registered on the network " error, I have used Kies to "Upgrade Firmware and initialisation" to Android 4.3 version. Bujt this too did not resove my problem. The IMEI number is correct. The serial number seems different in the device information. Kindly help...
Your efs has been modified or damaged. Try a patched modern and kernel together to restore connection.
Hi,
So I tried rooting my Samaung Galaxy Grand Prime+ (SM-G532F/DS) but it failed and now it won't turn on. I can go to download mode and that's it. No recovery mode. When I turn it on it gives a message "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC app."
I tried Smart Switch but the problem is it does not accept my phone model name [SM-G532F/DS] however if I change it to SM-G532F without /DS it will continue to ask my S/N but when I type it in and hit ok it asks me to check my model name and s/n. What can I do?
And after reading on and on about "soft brick" and failed root attempts I found out that I can manually flash firmware to fix the soft brick issue. But it still has some problems, I don't know where and how to choose the right firmware, and how to install it.
tl;dr Smart switch doesn't accept my phone model name and s/n. And I don't know how to choose the right firmware to flash using odin.
What I have:
Access to pc.
Samsung drivers are installed.
My phone's model name and serial number.
I enabled developer mode in the settings before it was bricked and turned on oem unlock and usb debugging so theoritically it should still be available.
What I know:
Smart Switch does not accept my phone's model name with serial number. So it won't work.
Android version: 6.0.1
It was Saudi Arabian variant, bought from saudi.
What I don't know:
How to choose the correct firmware to be used with odin.
My phone software details.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
MODEL: SM-G532F/DS
SSN: -G532F/DSGSMH
FCC ID: A3LSMG532F
Help me choose the right firmware please.
