I just recently got a Droid X2 off of ebay for use with pageplus... I plan on installing a custom ROM to it but am unsure if the installation of a new ROM will get rid of the phones activation information. Is the info for CDMA stored separately from the ROM? I've always used GSM in the past, so I know next to nothing about CDMA phones.

If you activate before you should be fine. Some older roms you would have to dial *22899 I believe. But as long as you are activated stock *228 will do it option 1 to activate. You will have to activate anytime you sbf your phone.

Edit: I just noticed you are not with Verizon. I am not sure if it is the same? You can just dial it and see if it gives you the option.

I believe the activation process is the same with page plus. So it should be fine. Thanks for the info!

I don't have time right at this moment... I'm late for meeting up with someone in town. I'll post back when I get home (9:00-9:30 EST).

What do you guys mean? My phone is an X2... I got it because it's one of the best 3G only androids out there, and Page Plus has issues with 4G phones. I can't afford to pay $80 a month for a Verizon plan...

Yeah, And it's fully activated now too... Here's the info:
System Version: 1.3.380.MB870.Verizon.en.US
Model Number: DROID X2
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: n_03.13.28s
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-00005-g2440aba, hudsoncm@il93lnxdroid52 #2

Thinking of putting a custom ROM on it, What would you guys recommend? I'm looking at Eclipse and CM7... Not sure which is the better one.

Dx2 all ok. Take your pick. Eclipse is most popular & stable. Just if you HAD a mx2 you could brick on a dx2 sbf.

I'm getting ready to flash Eclipse now, but I am kinda confused about the bootstrap. What exactly is it and how do I install it?

Edit: NVM figured it out.

Well post 2 of my signature link to start. The apk downloads are @ the last of post 3. DL DX2BSR.APK install & open, install recovery then set recovery mode (the middle button) while the wall wort is plugged in.

I had already updated to 2.3.5. So I am currently running Eclipse 2.1, I really like it so far. Also I already got your recovery apk by doing a bunch of searching. Anyway, Thanks for the help!
