I am trying to get the device properties from ADB commands. I can how ever get those values by running sample android application. How ever I wish to get using adb shell command itself to make my life easier. Here is the way I will get through sample application but I want corresponding adb commands for

  1. device manufacturer
  2. device hardware
  3. device model
  4. Os version(integer value)
  5. Kernel version

* Please note my device is not rooted and I have no idea of rooting the device to get these values :-) *

## Code snippet
import android.os.Build;
manufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER;
hardware = Build.HARDWARE;
model = Build.MODEL;
oSVersion = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
kernelVersion = System.getProperty("os.version");

However I can able to get the os version. But then I want SDK version in integer. I want 18 in place of 4.2.2

C:\>adb shell getprop ro.build.version.release
4.2.2

adb shell getprop ro.build.version.sdk

If you want to see the whole list of parameters just type:

adb shell getprop

    How do we get that info if we have multiple devices connected? – Gokhan Arik Jul 22 '14 at 21:23

    You can write an script to execute the same adb command to all the devices or just specify the one that you are interested in with -s – dmarin Jul 24 '14 at 09:20
  • There's also the adb -d switch, that: directs command to the only connected USB device returns an error if more than one USB device is present. (or -e for emulator) – CJBS Jul 24 '14 at 23:38
  • Thanks, I used this for `adb shell getprop ro.crypto.state` to understand if my huawei p9 lite is full disk encrypted. Hope someone else finds this comment searching with google. – vault Aug 11 '16 at 11:09

From Linux Terminal:

adb shell getprop | grep "model\|version.sdk\|manufacturer\|hardware\|platform\|revision\|serialno\|product.name\|brand"

From Windows PowerShell: 

adb shell 
getprop | grep -e 'model' -e 'version.sdk' -e 'manufacturer' -e 'hardware' -e 'platform' -e 'revision' -e 'serialno' -e 'product.name' -e 'brand'

Sample output for Samsung:

[gsm.version.ril-impl]: [Samsung RIL v3.0]
[net.knoxscep.version]: [2.0.1]

You should use adb shell getprop command and grep specific info about your current device, For additional information you can read documentation: Android Debug Bridge documentation

I added some examples below:

  1. language - adb shell getprop | grep language

    [persist.sys.language]: [en]

    [ro.product.locale.language]: [en]

  2. boot complete ( device ready after reset) - adb shell getprop | grep boot_completed

    [sys.boot_completed]: [1]

  3. device model - adb shell getprop | grep model

    [ro.product.model]: [Nexus 4]

  4. sdk version - adb shell getprop | grep sdk

    [ro.build.version.sdk]: [22]

  5. time zone - adb shell getprop | grep timezone

    [persist.sys.timezone]: [Asia/China]

  6. serial number - adb shell getprop | grep serialno

    [ro.boot.serialno]: [1234567]

For Power-Shell

./adb shell getprop | Select-String -Pattern '(model)|(version.sdk)|(manufacturer)|(platform)|(serialno)|(product.name)|(brand)'

For Linux (burrowing answer from @0x8BADF00D)

adb shell getprop | grep "model\|version.sdk\|manufacturer\|hardware\|platform\|revision\|serialno\|product.name\|brand"

For single string find in power shell

./adb shell getprop | Select-String -Pattern 'model'

or

./adb shell getprop | Select-String -Pattern '(model)'

For multiple

./adb shell getprop | Select-String -Pattern '(a|b|c|d)'
