So I have a droid Bionic my friend went through much pains to root. Fast forward a year and I probably got a virus on it and it ran like crap. So I went ahead and reset it to factory default. I have no phone plan or data plan anymore.
After the factory restore, when I boot up the droid, it says -Safe Strap: Disabled- in bold red text with the little robot lower down. Next I get a screen that says -Welcome; Select your language:- I select English and hit -Start- and I'm then greeted with a new screen -A SIM card is needed to operate this phone. Please turn off your phone and insert you SIM card.- and I get two options -Emergency Call- and -Power Off- and that's it.
So it's safe to assume my phone is still rooted and I'm pretty certain I need to trick my phone into thinking it has a SIM so that it boots up. I have tried putting in other SIM cards with data plans and it gives me the same crap. I'm not a complete techno noob I just know next to nothing about modding phones in any capacity. Any advise or direction would be much appreciated. Thank you.
