    Unhappy Repair ESN Motorola Devour

    Hi all,

    I was looking to see if there was a way to repair the ESN/MEID on my new Motorola Devour. It seems to have got all messed up when I was rooting and messing with the phone.

    Is there even a way to do this, or am I just screwed? I (sadly) voided the warranty by rooting, so I can't just go get another one.

    It seems as though it's just my luck that Motorola phones are the hardest to repair :/

    Thanks in advance for your time, knowledge, and assistance.

    I have not seen a solution for this nor do i think there will be one. Usually with motorola devices you have to have a smart clip box or a repair device of that nature to do such. From what Ive seen they are pretty expensive especially if you are only repairing one device.

    Ah. I figured as much.

    Well, I am kind of interested in learning about cell phones, as they are rather prevalent in today's society. It was actually the reason I was messing with the thing in the first place.

    Is there a "smart clip" device that supports the Devour A555? It seems if i really want to get into this kind of thing I'm going to need one anyway.

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what exactly is a "monster file"? From reading around the forum, it looks as if it's a firmware file. Is a "monster file" customized to allow for different types of functionalities or something?

    Nope. A monster file is simply a Motorola Bin file. It is created by the carrier for a specific Motorola Phone.

    Motorolas are the only phones that have Monster files.

    Thank you very much for the pointers!

    It does seem that I need some sort of hardware for what I want to do. Where can I start looking for that? The Smart-Clip doesn't have *documented* support for the phone :/
