Everything else is in the user partition. Wiping that will solve the problem. Doing that in a way that writes zeroes everywhere would make it very compressible. Removing the database, version file and config file would also remove your details. These will all get regenerated at startup and the missing database will mean the device does the basic setup.
Yes, that serial number is hard to miss when you open a hex editor. It's pretty much the first thing there after a bunch of zeroes. So that's it as far as non-obvious things go? Just the S/N?
