They can't use the clean esn on the back of the phone to get the msl because the msl to unlock the phone belongs to the girls account. We can't go into the settins and remove her esn and put mine in.
If we try using esn from the back of the phone to get the msl the msl wont unlock the phone.
I have to bring it to a coperate store tomorrow morning. The sprint tech said that they may be able to completly wipe the phone and the esn should return to the one on the back of the phone.
If the coperate store can't do it, is it possible for me to change the esn of the phone to the esn thats on the back of the phone. Im not trying to do anything illegal. The phone is clean the esn is clean, it belongs to me However its just recognizing her esn instead of the one that belongs to the phone.
I flashed the swiss cheese rom if I odin back to stock will coperate know that I rooted the phone?
I dont want to return the phone becuase I got a really great deal. 180$ and its in mint condition. but the seller offered a full return.

Try this. opin Odin. load a tar file EB13 or EC05 or what ever one. on the checkboxes make sure the Phone EFS clear its checked. that will restore the factory ESN back to the phone.. I this know because my epic its on boost mobile. and by accident I checked that box when going back to stock ROM and my boost ESN disapiered completely and it went back to the ESN printed in back of my phone.. I was so freaking pissed. so i had to reflash my boost esn to go back to boost again. so in other words what i did proofs that checking that box will wipe any other ESN and it returns the phone back to original ESN.. So remember check the normal Auto reboot along with Phone EFS clear. let me know if that worked out...
