  • first, the build.prop metadata gives incorrect results, as this file frequently modified by enthusiasts on rooted devices. This confirmed by my tests, I ran this command on my Xiaomi Mi11i with custom ROM Xiaomi.eu and it returned 2008. But this phone was released in May 2021 Commented Aug 8, 2023 at 6:40
  • second, executing commands in subshell {} is not supported by adb shell, so your commands are unusable Commented Aug 8, 2023 at 6:56
  • @sun not so . I don t want the modified time. I get the creation time which remains unchanged. Yes I am rooted. Yes I did modify my prop and yes that date remained the same. Its a kind of hack situation you need to see proof in the output date that you see as pudding Commented Aug 9, 2023 at 2:25
  • @sun all my command work in adb shell. MOF I tested em there . But I wasnt able to find any data on my phone and didnt sweat it. So I just threw in the commands if you wanna try that approach . It sounds like you critique answers too much without seeing if they work in your env. Commented Aug 9, 2023 at 2:27
