android 5.0 and 6.0 can't get imei num

[loveofyou]

Hi:
when i try use this object export my wechat_history find some issues.

My Device : Moto X Style , Android 6.0.1 , Rooted . double Sim
1 The Script can't get the right Imei ,must be defind devices imei . (Because my devices have two imei)
2 And can't use "eu.chainfire.adbd" open "adb root" , could we don't use root to get EnMicroMsg.db , tech user use example code manual copy this file to sdcard or other space .
adb shell
su
cp -fR /data/data/com.tencent.mm/ /sdcard/somewhere

thanks

Sorry I don't know how to get the right IMEI if there are two.
And I don't know why adb root won't work for you. I don't have such phones for testing.

thank you for anwser .

i think we can use this code to get two imei ,then try these imei to decode EnMicroMsg.db , while ./decrypt-db.py return success。
# get imei 1
adb shell service call iphonesubinfo 1
# get imei 2
adb shell service call iphonesubinfo 3

example :

elif [[ $1 == "imei" ]]; then
imei=$(adb shell dumpsys iphonesubinfo | $GREP 'Device ID' | $GREP -o '[0-9]+')
[[ -n $imei ]] || {
imei=$(adb shell service call iphonesubinfo 1 | awk -F "'" '{print $2}' | sed 's/[^0-9A-F]*//g' | tr -d '\n')
}
[[ -n $imei ]] || {
imei=$(adb shell service call iphonesubinfo 3 | awk -F "'" '{print $2}' | sed 's/[^0-9A-F]*//g' | tr -d '\n')
}
[[ -n $imei ]] || {
>&2 echo "Failed to get imei. You can try other methods, or report a bug."
exit 1
}
echo "Got imei: $imei"

On my phone when I call *#06# there are 3 IMEI. One of them works. And it's not shown up in adb shell service call.
So I don't know any proper solution and users are expected to try this by themselves.

@ppwwyyxx same for my phone! I have a Redmi 5A and the working IMEI is neither of the two IMEIs of the networking interfaces. It's called MEID and it shows up when I call *#6#, but I can't find it anywhere else.

The issue with multiple IMEIs might be fixable by checking CompatibleInfo.cfg (as per the suggestion in #42 to run strings CompatibleInfo.cfg, the IMEI is in one of the strings)

i know im late but just to point out all devices with imei have an meid. Imei is 15 digits meid is 14 the 15th digit of imei is a lunh checksum calculated by the first 14 digits, the meid is the same as the imei but without the 15th digit (the luhn checksum)
