Serial number of device that presented upon adb devices

Hi All

Iam using a command: adb devices

and get this: C:>adb devices List of devices attached HT9CTP820385 device

My question is: where this serial number comes from? Does it burned on flash of device one time during a manufectoring or adb drivers assignes it dynamically or it comes with release that is burned on device?

+1 A:

I got the same number (as the adb gives me) printed under battery inside my device. So, I guess, it's one-time burned on flash of device.

However, I cannot guarantee that it cannot be overwritten by the same process as flashing new firmware/bootloader/radio.

+1 A:

It's the device number deeply embedded in to the device itself. Every single device that connects to a computer (practically) has one of these (In one form or another). It has nothing to do with drivers.

That depends which operating system you are on. In Linux you can use sudo lsusb -v | grep iSerial. It'll probably be the one that is a combination of letters and numbers. On Windows, you have to open of the device properties for that device from the device manager. In Android and others I'm not sure.
