LG Ally - No ESN (read post) AS-IS

EDIT: Traded to Legion for a microSD.



So I went to sell an old Ally that I had. A prospective buyer wanted me to restore it to stock and long story short I hosed the OS and the recovery...

Read my saga here: http://androidforums.com/ally-all-t...ot-loop-cant-access-recovery.html#post2881455

The problem is that to get it to boot I had to use a method of restoring that could/would scramble the ESN to all zeros. The ESN for the phone is on the sticker below the battery and it would be clear were it possible to use it.

Anyway it's fully booting up and seems to be working correctly. I put it on WIFI and it's hits the internet with no problem.

It's in overall good shape with minor scuffing and scratching and some deeper marks on the top right corner and bottom. The screen is in nearly perfect condition.

This will include:

LG Ally
Battery/battery door
Box/Manuals/Paperwork
OEM power adapter
Desk dock
extra screen protectors


Obviously this is sold AS-IS/for parts only.

I'll take whatever I can get for it. Bad ESN Ally's are going on eBay between $40-$60 so I guess in that ball park. I just wanted to try it here before I went that route.

I could really use a 32gb sd card but that might be a stretch for an un-activatable phone.

have you tried activating it to see if it works? or are you just guessing based on what you read?

Under settings -> about the MEID is listed as 00000000000. I haven't actually tried to activate it. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work though.
 
it will probably go onto the account fine i just dont think it will actually activate when you dial *22899, worth a shot though
