Possible to flash VM670 ESN to work on Droid X?

[JustWorksTechnologies]

Hey, I have a question... I have a Droid X with a bad ESN from Verizon. I was wondering if it was at all possible to clone the ESN from my LG Optimus V to my Droid X and if it would work. I know it's a long shot but was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction?

Thanks guys!

Isn't flashing ESN's illegal?

I don't know if it is... If it is, I wont do it. But if it's ok, I want to. Someone let me know either way.

what I've read says it's ok to reflash a lost esn if your device gets zeroed but not to transfer one from device to device.
doesn't stop people from doing it, it's just not considered kosher.

In nearly all cases ESN# are not flashable in the normal sense. Within the ESN is the how-to for the carrier to use the phone. So the ESN for an OV will not allow the carrier to use the Droid X properly. Same as the MAC address on a modem allowing your ISP to use the modem.

Do Not Clone A Phone!!!!

Yea what he said , lol
In a best case scenario you read NV items, do some hex deciphering which is easy, back up the NV items, change the sets that match your current ESN. easily fixed with your backup note or file of what u changed. I've read that some phones have it in multiple places but only 1 or 2 need be changed, items can be dumped into files, the phone rom changed a file comparison can saw out what items you don't need to look at, I've shared all I'm going to, Good Luck!
