How to Activate Sprint iPhone 5? BAD ESN?

I bought a Sprint iPhone 5 with a BAD ESN, and when I bought this was activated, once iOS 6.1 release I updated now the iPhone won't activated, I don't have a Sprint nano Sim, and I try to buy one from ebay but is nothing yet for a Sprint Nano SIM, what else can I do, I want to use the iPhone as iPod

You can't legally activate a phone with a bad ESN.

Sprint will not activate a device with a bad ESN.

The SIM card has nothing to do with activation because it is only needed for use on GSM networks outside of the United States.
