How to retrieve a serialnumber and IMEI from a dead iPhone?

So,

without using ´Settings->About->Info´.

without having the original packaging, proof of purchase,a letter or e-mail with this information.

withoutusing iTunes.

Just only the phone itself.

Or can be another way, by using different software?

Most iPhone have reached a certain condition and not able to give a sign of life.

Whole Apple iPhone family/series with any iOS version. Maybe iPad family/series too.

Can somebody help?

Take it to Apple.

or doesn't fulfill your needs?

If you're still with in the return period, take it back to where you bought it. After that, sell it.

No, go back the shop where you brought the product.

It is on the box and in the phone, difficult to get any nearer than that.

I'm starting to get dizzy from all this going round and round in circles.

Me thinks you are dealing with a troll. My suggestions would be to back far, far away. That will relieve the dizziness.

I have been at full Gillespie for a while now. 🙂

Even a merry-go-round gets boring after too many revolutions.

Then give clear answers, suggestions.

Please stop making new questions before old ones are solved.

Please stop asking the same question over and over mindlessly. Why do you need the serial number anyway? You said that the "shop" you bought it from didn't require it.

What is it, exactly, that you need the serial number for?
