Get Device Information

[Patrick]

Does anybody know how to get Device Information on XDA(Wallaby, Himalaya and Blue Angel) from within C++?

I would like to get the RomVersions(ROM,Radio etc.) and Dates.
And also Modell Number, IMEI.

Nearly the same as you can see under Start->Settings>System: Device Information.

I read somethimg about a "disk on chip" document, but it is linked under wiki, and it seems to me that everything und wiki(sourceodes, documents etc.) is dead.

[Patrick]

Ok, i have some of these things.
I get the Model-Nr, Platform String, IMEI, and the OS Version.
With this Information i can say what XDA Device i´m running on.
But i don´t know how to get the ROM Informations.

Does anybody know where to find them? On XDA3 i found Versiosn in Registry, but they are not avaible on XDA1, and not all avaible on XDA2.

Maybe i have to Get the FileVersions and Dates...

Hi I'm new in PDA and I'm looking for c++ code to reed information about device serial number or IMEI (for MDA 2 or MDA 3). Could You help me.

Thanks for any information
Tom.

To retrieve the IMEI:
//Function GetIMEI
CString GetIMEI()
{
CString strTemp;
WCHAR szString[MAX_PATH] = L"\0";
LINEGENERALINFO *LPLineGeneralInfo = NULL;
LPLineGeneralInfo = (LINEGENERALINFO*)malloc(sizeof (LINEGENERALINFO));
LPLineGeneralInfo->dwTotalSize = sizeof(LINEGENERALINFO);
LONG lTapiReturn;
DWORD NewSize;
DWORD dwNumDevs;
DWORD dwAPIVersion = TAPI_API_HIGH_VERSION;
LINEINITIALIZEEXPARAMS liep;
HLINEAPP hLineApp = 0;
HLINE hLine = 0;
DWORD dwExtVersion;
BOOL bRetVal = FALSE;
LPBYTE pLineGeneralInfoBytes = NULL;
DWORD dwTAPILineDeviceID;

// Initialisiern
liep.dwTotalSize = sizeof(liep);
liep.dwOptions = LINEINITIALIZEEXOPTION_USEEVENT;

lineInitializeEx(&hLineApp, 0, 0, L"MDAC", &dwNumDevs, &dwAPIVersion, &liep);

// Device ID holen
dwTAPILineDeviceID = GetTSPLineDeviceID(hLineApp, dwNumDevs, TAPI_API_LOW_VERSION, TAPI_API_HIGH_VERSION, CELLTSP_LINENAME_STRING);


// Line öffnen
lineOpen(hLineApp, dwTAPILineDeviceID, &hLine, dwAPIVersion, 0, 0, LINECALLPRIVILEGE_OWNER, dwMediaMode, 0);

// ExTAPI Version aushandeln
lineNegotiateExtVersion(hLineApp, dwTAPILineDeviceID, dwAPIVersion, EXT_API_LOW_VERSION, EXT_API_HIGH_VERSION, &dwExtVersion);

lTapiReturn = lineGetGeneralInfo(hLine, LPLineGeneralInfo);

//If the LineGeneralInfo buffer was too small then make it bigger and ask again
if ((lTapiReturn == 0) && (LPLineGeneralInfo->dwNeededSize > LPLineGeneralInfo->dwTotalSize))
{
NewSize = LPLineGeneralInfo->dwNeededSize;
LPLineGeneralInfo = (LINEGENERALINFO*)realloc(LPLineGeneralInfo, LPLineGeneralInfo->dwNeededSize);
LPLineGeneralInfo->dwTotalSize = NewSize;
lTapiReturn = lineGetGeneralInfo(hLine, LPLineGeneralInfo);
}

if (lTapiReturn != 0)
{
//wcscpy(szString, TEXT("Error, unable to read phone\n\rinformation with the phone\n\rswitched off.\n\n\rPlease Exit program and try again."));

}

strTemp = szString;

//Free up resources used
if (hLineApp != NULL)

if (LPLineGeneralInfo != NULL)
free(LPLineGeneralInfo);

if(strTemp.GetLength() == 17)

Thanks for your code but I cand compile it error like:

error C2065: 'TAPI_API_HIGH_VERSION' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'TAPI_API_LOW_VERSION' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'CELLTSP_LINENAME_STRING' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'EXT_API_LOW_VERSION' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'EXT_API_HIGH_VERSION' : undeclared identifier

what should I include ?

[Patrick]

#define TAPI_API_LOW_VERSION 0x00020000
#define TAPI_API_HIGH_VERSION 0x00020000
#define EXT_API_LOW_VERSION 0x00010000
#define EXT_API_HIGH_VERSION 0x00010000

[topulaws]

OK but what with this one:

error C2065: 'CELLTSP_LINENAME_STRING' : undeclared identifier

thanks

[Patrick]

#include <tapi.h>
#include <tsp.h>
#include "extapi.h"

#define TAPI_API_LOW_VERSION 0x00020000
#define TAPI_API_HIGH_VERSION 0x00020000
#define EXT_API_LOW_VERSION 0x00010000
#define EXT_API_HIGH_VERSION 0x00010000

[topulaws]

Now is OK

.. but I have one question whay it dsn't work without SIM card ? Is it possible to get IMEI or device serial number if there aren't sim inside ?

[Patrick]

Yes, it does work without simcard. It runs on my MDA 1/2/3 without SIMCard.

Maybe you phone decivce is completely turned off...

[topulaws]

Yes you right phone device was turned off now is goood

Thanks

[nutitija]

hmmm - are you writing this app in eVC++ 3.0 or eVC++ 4.0 ?? I dont seem to get it working in eVC++ 4.0. I'm getting an external link error for lineGetGeneralInfo().

Could you be kind enough to send me the full app ??? or help me solve this ?? i'm trying to write my program as a MFC pocket pc 2003 exe and dialog based!!

thanks

[nutitija]

problem solved , thanks for the source code :)

[weasel]

has anybody used this as a utility to craete an output fie containing the IMEI number? I have'nt got Visual Studio for pocket PC :( but would like to be able to do this

[redbug]

Yes, it does work without simcard. It runs on my MDA 1/2/3 without SIMCard.
Maybe you phone decivce is completely turned off...
My phone device is completelty turned off.
Do you have any idea how to find IMEI number when the device is in this state ?
It's possible because system info in control panel could display the IMEI in this state.

[levenum]

Hi everybody!

I know this is a bit off topic but if you want to get a serial number instead of IMEI you can use the following code:

#define IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID CTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_HAL, 21, METHOD_BUFFERED, FILE_ANY_ACCESS)

extern "C" BOOL KernelIoControl(
DWORD dwIoControlCode,
LPVOID lpInBuf,
DWORD nInBufSize,
LPVOID lpOutBuf,
DWORD nOutBufSize,
LPDWORD lpBytesReturned);

BYTE outBuff[16];

*(DWORD*)outBuff = 16;

KernelIoControl(IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID, 0, 0, outBuff, 16, &outBytes);

Should work on all devices regardless of what is turned on.

[redbug]

Thanks.
With the DEVICEID information, IMEI could be found with phone device turned off on QTEK 9090

void GetIMEIFromQtek9090(char *serial)
{
BYTE outBuff[16];
DWORD outBytes;

*(DWORD*)outBuff = 16;

KernelIoControl(IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID, 0, 0, outBuff, 16, &outBytes);

sprintf(serial,"35%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X", outBuff[6], outBuff[5], outBuff[4], outBuff[3], outBuff[2], outBuff[1], outBuff[0]);
}

Thanks again.

Any luck obtaining the device ROM version? It's the only item in your list that I seem to be stuck on...

[davidc]

Can someone send me a compiled version of the code to get the IMEI etc?
