[Q] Removing Activation?

[-xipher-]

Hello, I purchase an Verizon Incredible from ebay, it's ezn thingy is clean but I live in the UK. I need the phone activated but can't activate it here as the number it dials doesn't connect since it' cdma. I was wondering if there was a rom or mod that can remove the activation and/or the phone functionality as I would just like to use it as a media device?

any help on this, would be greatly appreciated,

thank you

If you are wanting to install a new rom just skip the activation. Take cyanogenmod for example when the activation screen comes up with the android on it, press the four corners around the screen and it will skip activation. I think the skip is pretty standard across rom but I'm not 100% on that. It does work on Cyanogenmod though.

*NOTE: you need to be using a ROM that has EPST.apk (Sense or stock based) in it for this procedure to work.

1. Select emergency call and dial ##778.
2. Select edit and enter service password 000000.
3. Select NAM Settings.
4. Change Mobile Directory number to 0000000000 (Ten digits).
5. Change MIN1 to 0000000 (Seven digits).
6. Change Mobile Country Code to 000 (Three digits).
7. As you back out "Commit the Change".

Hope this helps. Worked for me with no issues.
