Answer 1

Your first hash you posted, is the IMEI of the device so it's present on both Android and iOs. An IMEI only contains numbers!

On Android, if you use the following code will give you an unique ID: Secure.getString(getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(), Secure.ANDROID_ID); that will look like that: 9774d56d682e549c which is 16 chars long.

On iOS devices, you can get your UDID on iTunes or on websites like this one: http://whatsmyudid.com/ This UDID is 32 digits and looks like that: 294913EC-6100-42E8-8C2D-E9F68F286ADE.

Basing on the IMEI you posted in your message, we can get your phone information such as Brand, Model and many other things. Take a look at that address: http://www.imei.info/?imei=359092050465370
