Question, if I had a phone that had a bad ESN, would flashing a new ROM or radio, or a radio for a different carrier get the phone working again? Is there a way to fix a phone with a ba ESN?
Nah... having a bad esn doesnt affect the functions or usability of the phone... that just means that phones serial number was registered as lost or stolen... flashing rom or radios will make no difference, because the problem is that, you wont find any carriers or service willing to activate it for their service will its coming up stolen or missing... only way around it is to change the esn, but depending on the phone model that may or may not be possible, like if its for the touch/vogue, their is a method i believe, u can find if you search he site, but i dont think there is a methed for the touch pro...
