Lost and confused

[EpicUsr21]

I purchased theOptimus S from Ebay and used to be in LS670ZVJ. Since I wanted to root it, I down graded to ZVD and now root has been completed.
When I went to check my ESN and MEID, it is all 0000000s. Network = Unknown.
Now when I tried to connect to internet, it won't work.
So I tried to do WIFI and it connected but I can't add Google Account.

What do you recommend I do?

What do you recommend I do?

1. Did you even activate the phone?
2. If yes, did you have service before downgrading to ZVD?

If the answer to both 1 and 2 is no, you bought a useless phone and should request a refund.

I have never activated the phone.
WIFI used to work and I had my google account that worked in ZVJ.
I think I lost it while going to ZVD and rooting.
Even if this is bad ESN, can't I use it with my home WIFI?
I have SERO family account and can't activate Optimus in my plan.

I would suggest try running the zvd update.zip again, possibly even redownloading due to possibly being corrupted. I cannot see wifi breaking in a downgrade being permanent.

I dont see how a downgrade can even access downgrade protected NV-ITEMS. Even a failed downgrade.

Did you apply the ZVD update twice? You have to do it twice.

Huh? I have to do it twice? Really?

Mean: Yes, really. Did sfhub stutter here? [Sorry, can't type this without laughing some.]

Nice: Yes, since the second flash from stock gets the radio to ZVD, which is compatible with the ZVD ROM the process produces on your device. Getting to rooted ZVJ, if that is what you desire, or another ROM, can be done once you have a working, rooted ZVD with a custom recovery.

I went back and did it twice but still same problem. Can not add Google account and all the ESN info is all 0000000000s.

Internet Browser works fine.

Kinda sounds like the phone needs to be reprovisioned. You need your msl number and enter ##786# or take it to sprint to do this.

 

[EpicUsr21]

I have MSL #. re provision did not work.

We cannot talk about esn swapping on this forum. If you have a bad esn, google a fix.
