V2260 all f's in ESN

[zeke74]

Today my cell phone stopped working. Come to find out the ESN number got clobbered somehow. It shows up as all f's. IT is a Motorola V2260.

What would cause the ESN number to get clobbered? How do I correct it?

Thanks

Sounds like you need to reflash your phone. What software are/have you used if any?

im not so sure flashing the phone with new software will help; give it a try though

Had this happen with a StarTAC on US Cellular several years ago. Seems their over the air programming screwed the ESN somehow. Phone was under warranty, so I sent it in, Motorola wasn't too happy. Sent a fraud alert back with it...
