Subject: Re: Zire Rom ID problem


Dina,

Among many other older models as well.  Plenty of older models from multiple
vendors don't have a ROM ID.

No; there is NO unique identifier for these devices, period, and no amount of
wishing will make it so.  You can obtain the Hot Sync user name, if at least one
Hot Sync has been performed so that a name is assigned.

On some devices there are additional things you can use such as a WiFi mac
address (*very* few models) or a phone IMEI number.  But the lack of a ROM
serial number tends to occur mostly with lower-end devices such as those you
named, and they don't have the other features either.

The Treo 600 and 650 are the apparent exception to this, because the normal
method for getting the ROM serial does not work and in order to get the serial
number you must test the company and device IDs then issue the Handspring
specific APIs to request the serial number.

Search the archives.
