Skip the activation screen

---

Any way to do this?? on the Dinc, if you ended the *22899 call three times it let you bypass activation.... no such luck on the Rezound? anyone know the right method?


Edit: nevermind. just boot the phone without the SIM card.

Another thing to try would be to gain temp root with zergroot, and edit the build.prop to not require setup.

n00b question: What is the benefit of skipping the activation screen? Something to do with rooting/modding later on?

I think I'm going to get this phone as my first smartphone and all of this stuff is new to me so I don't want to screw anything up.

Well it allows you to play with the phone before it gets activated. Also, it would allow me to play with it before my number gets ported from us cellular because that will occur during the activating of my rezound next week.

Just wanted to confirm that if I don't install the SIM card I should be able to use the phone on wifi only. Currently deployed so can't activate the phone until I get back to the states.

I think if you tap on the four corners starting with the top left and going clockwise, it exits the activation, but am not sure if this is the case with the resound.

Thats how I did it on my OG Droid but I don't think it works on the Rezound.

Update: Got my phone today and without the sim inserted nothing had to be done to use the phone. It went through the inital setup and then to the homescreen.

you can just like hit the home button like a **** load of times. that usally does the trick
