Whos Got A Droid thats Not On The Verizon Network?

[inmotion]

Or any network at all?

Ive had an original Droid for a while sitting in my closet, I upgraded a while back and have been meaning to start playing with custom roms since I no longer have to worry about missing phone calls if it goes wrong. Well its already gone wrong.

Figured Id start with a fresh slate, so I did a hard reset

Since I have no intention of connection this to any verizon account, I cant seem to get past the activation screen.

I tried mounting it to my computer but it just shows a 0byte drive

Anyone know how I can get functionality out of this thing without activating it?

ill answer my own question here just in case anyone else needs it

press the 4 corners of the activation screen clockwise starting with top left and it will send you to the desktop.

So...it basically becomes a micro slate or wifi android puter, wifi only.

i prefer the term pocket pc

but yes, ive been reading on and off and finally taking the plunge. it was the dual boot of Debian that made me do it.

That was sweet, what theme was that, any idea? Would love to see if I could get it to work on my drawer'd Dinc...

I have a Droid that's on MetroPCS.

I know how to skip the activation screen. You can press the home button, but I know a way to get rid of it for good.
