Phone is not rooted, and ESN is zeroed out. Would flashing stock firmware restore the ESN to factory? (Sprint)

anyone? please? note that im not talking about IMEI or MEID, those seem to be fine. its just the ESN thats zeroed out.
Yes. The only way to repair that I know of is to restore your backed up ESN.
Since you have imei does the phone work? Or does it need ESN for data and phone calls?
a bit confused as to why you say you are 100% sure. its my understanding that ESN can be calculated from MEID/IMEI. If thats the case, wouldnt it just be a matter of figuring out what it is, and gettng it onto the phone?
I am happy to say you are wrong. I used a CDMA program to write the ESN to the phone. Used online MEID calculator to get the ESN, and just to test the software, I tried entering a few fake ESN's, and they wouldnt write. Tried the right one, and bam, worked!
