Question [Q] Bypass Emergency Call screen to go Wifi only?

I have been trying to get past the No SIM card Emergency Call only screen to no avail. The four corners thing worked fine on our Cliq and Droid 2, but not on the Flipout. I don't need to root or unlock, I simply just want to use it on Wifi only... possible?

Thanks in advance.

Thumbs up Bypass Emergency call screen (solved)

Hi there Imanta...

I am also a new member & I had this exact same problem a few days ago. My Flipout for no apparent reason started refusing my orange 3G sim (No sim) and would only boot to emergency call screen .

The workaround for this problem I found to be simple . Insert a sim from a different carrier (I used virgin mobile), boot phone, when fully booted you should be presented with the phones network unlock screen giving you 2 options.

1: Enter network unlock code.
2: Dismiss.

Choose dismiss option & the phone should boot to its home screen unless you did a factory reset before inserting other carrier sim. If you did a reset then the phone will ask you to set a few perameters before booting to home screen.

Once fully booted the phone will be fully functioning albeit without carrier network access. You can also remove the wrong carrier sim & insert your own sim back & the phone will continue to boot to home screen from off until a wipe/factory reset is done again.

I hope this helps with your problem...

Stay Breezy & Be Lucky...

Peace....
