Recover IMEI number (without the device)

Hi Forum!
My Bold 9000 was stolen and I did not write down the IMEI number. In order to report the theft to the police, it would be very helpful to have the IMEI. Actually, I thought that this number was stored within the backups that I made (using the Desktop Manager). But I could not find anything like the IMEI number in the files.
Is there a chance to recover the IMEI from some log files? Where would I have to look?
Is it possible for RIM to recover the IMEI when I provide them with the PIN? I am a private customer, not a business customer, and did not operate the BB via BIS or BES.
Thanks and best regards, Stefan

Go to Solution.

Do you have the original box in which the BlackBerry came? It would be on the white sticker on the outside of the box.
Otherwise, I don't think the IMEI is stored in a backup file, sorry.

    how can i find my imei number without my phone but got the origional number

    iTunes on you computer saves this information.
    Open iTunes.
    Open Preferences. (In Mac OS X, choose iTunes > Preferences. In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)
    Click the Devices tab.
    Position the mouse arrow over the iPhone name to display the numbers including IMEI of the backed-up device.

  • Someone has stolen my iPod, how do I get the serial number without the device or paperwork that came with it?

    I need to get the serial number but need to know if there is a place in Itunes to get it without the device or the intital paperwork I recieved when I got it.

    Maybe.  Run an iTunes device connectivity test.  Near the end of the report there should be a field indicating the last iPod that was synced with that particular iTunes library.  It will include the serial # of the device.  So if you have already synced another device since then, I'm afraid you are out of luck.
    See here for instructions on running a device connectivity test.

  • It is possible to know my UDID only with the serial number of my device and without the device?

    Hello, I would want to know if is possible to know my UDID only with the serial number of my old device and without the device. I sent my old device there was a few months and they can't repare it, so they pay me back with a voucher and I bought a new one (iPod Touch 4g 8GO). I have to know the UDID of my old device to transfer all of my game to my new device (all the data for not to start all the games again) BUT I just had only the serial number.
    Someone can help me please? Thanks
    (P.S.: Sorry if there are mistakes in english, I'm french )

  • I have lost my i phone 4s how can i get my IMEI number without box or set?

    I have lost my i phone 4s how can i get my IMEI number without box or set?

    You can get your IMEI through iTunes, assuming you have backed up your iPhone using iTunes.
    Open iTunes' preferences (under iTunes in the menu bar).  Choose the "Devices" tab, and hover your cursor over the iPhone entry.  The IMEI will appear.
    I suspect knowing the IMEI will not do you a whole lot of good, but for what it's worth ... that's how to get it.

  • My iPhone5 was locked Telnor in Norway 1 year. I send phone to be repaired. Thei give me a new phone with other IMEI number without telling me. Ichanged to a new operator after 1 year. They could not open because of new IMEI number.

    My iPhone5 was locked at Telnor in Norway for 1 year. I send iphone to be repaired. Thei give me a new phone with other IMEI number without telling me. Ichanged to a new operator after 1 year. I asked the old operator to unlock my phone, but thei could not do that because i have a new iphone with new IMEI number. What must i do to get this fixed? Magne

    Any replacement device is going to have a new IMEI. You need to contact whomever replaced your device (Apple or Authorized Apple Service Provider) and work through them and your carrier. You should have some paperwork from the replacement to show the carrier.

    Contact Apple and see if they can provide any documentation of the device swap.

  • Why cant apple track my stolen iphone if it connects to the internet after reset. the IMEI number stays the same so i dont understand why they just dont shut it off and call me and the police to inform me about the whereabouts of the phone

    Hi, my iphone was stolen around a month ago. After the phone popped up on find my iphone in central london the police decided to be really helpful and instead going to get it they closed my case. Since then it has been offline because the "lovely" individual who stole it obviously reset it. I was just wondering why doesnt apple track phones through the IMEI number. The number stays the same, so if the phone connects to the network they should be able to know that its my stolen iphone. I just dont understand why they dont do that. They have a huge ecosystem, and if someone signs in to my iphone with their itunes account (which they pretty much have to in order to use most of the phones features) the IMEI number gets associated with that perticular account. Would it not be possible for them to realize that its my stolen phone?
    Thanks to anyone that answers.

    Your carrier can lock the IMEI number, try contacting them. At least you'll have the satifsaction of knowing the theif can't use it anymore. My guess is Apple doesn't block IMEI numbers because they don't want someone selling a phone without record, and then reporting it stolen and causing problems that way. But that's just a guess, I feel for ya. Good luck either way, if it's a locked phone you should be able to call the carrier it's locked to and have the IMEI blocked.

  • Can i find the the apple ID of the primary owner by the imei number of the iphone

    can i find the apple id of the owner iphone 4s by imei number of the iphone

    If you are trying to disable activation lock on a second hand device, you need to be able to contact the original owner.  There is no way to look up or find personal/contact information of the original owner from the device - Apple will not help you with that issue either (they will not give out personal information about the original owner to you).  If you do not know the original owner or cannot contact them, then you have a brick in your hands.  If possible, return it to the seller for a refund, as it is useless to you.

  • I lost my I phone 4 , how to track it's imei number from the apple id that  I used in that lost iPhone

    I lost my I phone 4 , how to track it's imei number from the apple id that  I used in that lost iPhone

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
    If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

  • Can't find IMEI number on the phone. Screen has broken so I can't access the dial pad.

    I can't find the IMEI number in the phone after following the instruction on how to find it. I found a number on the back of my micro sim card but this website wouldn't accept it.
    The screen has SELF-CRACKED after having used it for 2 months. And yes it genuinely cracked itself. No, it was not dropped. No, I did not go swimming with it.
    I'm trying to get this number so I can send it off to be repaired. For which I am told Sony do this for free for their products that have this problem. You can read about it here:
    WatchDog - Z1 Self-Cracking Phones
    All I want is to send off the phone to be repaired ASAP, but insetad I'm wasting my time having to contact customer services for which none of them give me a clear answer, and have to create accounts and aliases on this site which I never intend to use ever again. It is not my fault or any other consumers fault for the majority of problems that arise in these products, it is the manufacturers fault for distributing such faulty goods. Safe to say, I never intend on purchasing Sony products again, nor recommend these to anyone.

    Sorry my error. It only shows the computer name not the serial number. Go with "themachead" response copied below:
    In your Apple ID - Profiles:My Products if you filled it out. Not only that you might be able to, via Apple ID & iCloud sign up/in and activate find my Mac. If you have not activated iCloud you can do that too.
