Do they just count the number of "first-time" android setup routine ? Since that routine is executed everytime someone resets the phone or uses a different ROM.As far as I know, there is no hardware level "first-time" bootup routine, everything else that is running may as well be wiped and ran again for the "first-time".

They use the IMEI of the phone (or some other ID) to count them only once.
