Mogul have SCM as 0x2A and Diamond have 0x3A

can anybody try to change SCN to Toggle Betwwen Compulsory ESN r Optional MEID Supports

hetaldp, this does Not Work to Reverse.

SCM toggled back to 0x2A with any ESN after MEID write got "no service"
Flashed non-GPS unlocker then stock non-GPS ROM to fix (basically downgraded Radio)

You need to read the ENTIRE section, not just part of a sentence, you're missing a KEY portion.



The purpose of that section was to eliminate/reduce cloned ESNs, and it CLEARLY states that any attempt to change '.. the ESN chip, it's (the ESN chip) logic system...' etc MUST render the mobile transmitter inoperative. You forget that phones made when the law was put in place used PROM/EPROM/EEPROM to store data, not hooked up to some snazzy computer with a USB cable and hacked software. Firmware INCLUDED things such as tuning data, frequency and channel assignments, and the ELECTRONIC SERIAL NUMBER. The LAW says that should the ESN storage system be modified or removed, that it DISABLE the transmitter, Ie it won't work on the network. The way it was implemented in most systems was a checksum, a value derived from the known value created by the ESN. The ESN changes, and therefore the checksum is no longer valid, hence, the device enters into a 'dumb' mode, where it does nothing, meeting the requirements of the FCC to disable the transmitter when the ESN is changed. Obviously equipment manufacturers needed ways to program the phones, so they knew how to change the ESN while changing the checksum as well, that info inevitably leaks out, and 'hackers' reverse engineered the phones to see how things worked...



.....All this before TDMA/CDMA/GSM even existed......


AMPS (Analog Mobile Phone System) was the name of the game back in the day, which is what the laws were aimed at, at the time.


- FCC licensed tech.

Are you really an FCC licensed tech?

Dude, I've been doing tons of research and trying to contact the FCC regarding the now conflicting laws surrounding ESN modification (apparently a CA lawsuit claimed that ESN numbers could be changed to make a device compatible with another network).

My efforts to contact the FCC ended in a "look the other way" response. Basically, the FCC won't exactly give me any blessing, but it doesn't care if I clone ESNs as long as no one is reporting a loss.

Yeahhhhhh, my TITAN is BRICKED now, after add the "MEID" to your phone there is not signal, ok then you Relock your phone and when the stock pre-GPS ROM + RADIO is flashed to fix the problem you created adding the " MEID ", guess what, you get stuck on windows mobile splash and NO RADIO. LOL....... I'm so there. Now WTF i do.

Thanks, i did spend more time reading but what i did to solve my problem was after relock i flashed Stock ROM 2.17 + Radio 1.47 when it completed no Radio was present so i decided to reflash but this time Sprint Official ROM 3.35.651.2 Radio 3.35.04 and BOOM Mogul is up and running.

P.S. when i downgrade bootloader was SPL 1.7, after re-flashed whith ROM 3.35.651.2 it changed to SPL 2.06.

If i add an meid to a touch vogue from alltel, flashed with official sprint rom to be used on sprint, will gps,tv,etc... work?

[arvinghost]

do you put the dec or hex MEID esn in the value???

[arvinghost]

i tried to put the Dec MEID and it tells me ( Error Recieved: Item read Only ) ??????????

you need to relock your devices and then start over when you are about to write the e$n and meid make sure you got the right ones

the pE$N goes on the E$N................ Examples:: E$N: 806xxxx4

the MEID HEX on the MEID................Example:: MEID: A000000xxxxxxD
