title: Is there any way to retrieve the serial number (SSN) of an android device via a USB connection?
body: <p>I have a Google Nexus 7 (2013) that's under warranty with a dead LCD screen. To get it replaced I need to provide Asus with the serial number (SSN) which is available in 3 places:
  - In the device's settings (accessed using LCD, which is dead)
  - On the Box (No room for those in a studio apartment)
  - Inside the back panel (but removing the panel will void the warranty)</p>
  
  <p>I have my Nexus 7 connected to my PC and can communicate with it using ADT (Android Development Toolkit). Is there any way I can get the serial number using ADT or other software? I need the actual serial number (SSN) for the device and no the ADT device instance serial number.</p>
