Yes, that is normal. The ESN is stored inside the Qualcomm CDMA chip. If your CDMA chip is fried then that would cause both symptoms (Radio = None in the version info and no ESN number displayed because the OS can't talk to the chip to get the info).

Unfortunately this sounds like a hardware issue to me. It's one thing to lose your radio ROM during a flash, but when you see it disappear on its own that's almost always a dying/dead CDMA or Flash chip.

/andason plays TAPS :cry:

i lost my radio aswell...

i hope to god verizon will fix it..

:(

So I guess I'm stuck with this water damaged V3m that zoinks out and restarts whenever I get a text message, or call? :[

I've got NE2, and I've been waiting for the 6800, but vzw is killing me with these delays. I got my 6700 on ebay, so it's unlikely that the warranty applies; I have the 1.99 a month Verizon Extended Warranty, which indefinitely covers manufacturers defects, but I've taken apart the phone so many times that it's virtually impossible they'll handle it for me. The sticker on the back didn't even match the device ESN because the casing and mainboard were from different phones. :]

I managed to get my radio back.


first i put it in bootloader mode.

then i flashed the radio_.nbf file alone with the stock updater, after trying everything else here...

sooo... ill see if it goes away when i flash to 3.5


:(


EDIT: After flashing 3.5 it worked fine.. except contacts. so i soft reset and the radio was gone... shiitttyy..

i think im still covered by utstarcom.

how do u hard reset it?

I still dont have my radio back, I updated to the latest wm6. I have a ppc6700 and my version when i went into bootlogger mode was 2.02. I am pretty sure i did all 13 steps and my radio = none. Sometimes it is blank next to radio when it boots.... My radio was going in and out on me for a while. Removing the battery several times brought it back for a short time. Any ideas? Thanks
