Samsung S SCH-I405 and trying to bypass the setup wizard screen and hope someone has done this or a link to it? Although it's not really a biggy if there was a big dev section on custom ROM's which I could just use adb to push everthing needed, but this is only stock I have restored and pushed CWM 5.0 as well, Appreciate the help if possible :)

I'm not 100% but I'm pretty sure if you go to emergency dial from the setup screen, then type in *#TESTMODE it should activate the capacitive buttons so you can hit home and get to the launcher. Hope that helps!

Hey guys, I want to use my phone as a wifi device to access a linux server at home (with VPN). I have some important info on that machine, so being the paranoid freak I am, I think the best security I can come up with in the case I lose my phone is to keep the default ROM but replace the *#TESTMODE key phrase with something different. Does anyone know how to change this?

Thanks,

Misha

I gave my son my old verizon samsung fascinate. Im letting him use it on wifi with no service as a gameing device. He did a hard reset. Now, it's forcing him to the verizon setup wizard. I tried #testmode from the emergency dialer with no luck. How can I make this device useable for him without activating? It seems I just need to avoid the verizon startup wizard.

*#83786633 ..... This activates the 'soft keys' which allows you to press the home key and get to the OS skipping activation .

I have the LG optimus zone 3 and im trying to bypass the verizon activation wizard. I followed the above steps but nothing is working, I dont have a wifi network to connect to bcuz the one I am using is only for two devices, which is my current wifi only phone and my bfs laptop. I tried the *#testmode dial code and that's not working either. I also tried the volume up, down, back button whatever combo and cant complete it bcuz I ant access the search button. I cant "skip anyway" when asked to establish a wifi connection either. Absolutely nothing is working im stuck like chuck Im extremely frustrated with this phone. Its a migrane and a half. Someone please help me

#83786633 Does not work - I get the error that it is not an emergency number. Any other way of bypassing the setup? I only want to set this phone up for my grandson to play games on it (and leave his mom's alone!).
