[Q] Anyway to get past droid Setup/Activation Screen

---

I have a droid 2 which has never been activated on any service.. is there anyway to get past the first screen which says you need to activate service, it will only do emergancy dial or try to call verizon for activation..

Trying to get into settings etc.. So I can try and attempt a flash to another carrier

Well im not sure how to get by this but you will only be able to use sprint as your other carrier if this does happen to work. Just fyi. Unless things have changed....

At the droid welcome screen where it tells you to touch to begin you need to touch all 4 corners of the screen one after the other. I can't quite remember the order but just fiddle with it and it will skip it.

Yep, touch upper left corner, upper right corner, lower right corner, then lower left corner.

Thanks for the reply.. got past it with that method


and to above poster who said I could only use sprint as the other carrier.. I am on Cricket(Work for them).. Unlimited Android plan for 55$ a month.. cant beat it.. I just took the PRL from my other Cricket Android(Sanyo ZIO M6000).. Talk Text and WEB, all working fine, still trying to figure out how to get Picture messaging to work. But even if I cant, it is no big deal to me as I can send it all through gmail..

Thanks again for the help guys.

For the picture messaging, you might want to try the service menu (dial ##PROGRAM) and check for the SMS/MMS settings. I was mucking in there today and saw some settings that made me think that I could do good or evil with. Let us know if you try and what you find out!

Where did you pull the PRL from on the phone? This is an idea that is very appealing to me. If I could successfuly do this I would be saving 50$ a month.
