Please Help: Droid2 won't leave activation menus

[Law]

I hope someone can help me. I picked up a Droid2 at a tradeshow and after a while did a 'Factory Reset' (don't ask why). When it turns on it asks for a verizon account to 'activate' the phone and I am an AT&T customer.

I had a buddy use his verizon account info, but it still says further assistance is needed. I actually took the phone to a verizon store, but they won't touch it because I'm not a verizon customer.

I don't want to use the Droid to make calls. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the phone past the account verification screen?

Thanks

You can't use a Verizon phone on AT&T.

He doesn't want to. He said he's an AT&T subscriber but said he just wants to use the phone offline, or via wifi. Just like an iPod touch for example.

Btw, I just google searched and found this but it's for the Droid 1, maybe it will work with the 2?:

*EDIT - yep, that should work fine. I found the same info on doing this with the Droid 2 here:

Best of luck.

Sorry yeah you should only have to tap the corners of the phone in a clockwise manner starting from the top left
