How To: Bypass the Activation Screen on the Motorola Droid
I. Bypass the Activation Screen on a Droid Phone –
1. On the Welcome screen with the touch the android to begin icon, do the following:
2. Tap the top left corner of the screen then
3. Tap the top right corner of the screen then
4. Tap the bottom right corner of the screen ( just above the grey bar along the bottom with emergency dial and change language in it) then
5. Tap the bottom left corner of the screen ( just above the grey bar along the bottom with emergency dial and change language in it).
6. That’s it, should pop up the home screen shortly, if not retry. Remember not to drag your finger, simple tap top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left.
Nice to know but I don’t quite understand why you would want to bypass activation.
If you have a backup stored on your SD, you can just restore all of your app and user data without restoring system data after flashing a new ROM.
