Set up a Razr Maxx HD without an activated Verizon SIM card?

I won a Razr Maxx HD from Motorola, and it just arrived. Before I sell it, I want to play around on Moto software and hardware. But it's stuck trying to activate. The phone came with a Verizon SIM, but I'm on att so I don't have access to a Verizon number. What can I do to be able to use it?

Friend with a Verizon sim. Or you should be able to just cancel setup I think. Or put a custom rom lol.

Turn screen clockwise and then tap it in all four corners starting from top left going clockwise.
It will bypass the sim screen.

Tapping in all four corners will work to get your past the "no SIM card" screen. Search and you'll find YouTube videos showing it done. When you try it, just keep tapping the four corners in a clockwise fashion until the screen changes to the regular setup screen. I've only done it a few times but that has worked every time.

Anyone else have a 4th home screen?

I'm rooted on custom kernel but on stock ROM. Occasionally I'll have a 4th home screen available. Where the standard 3 screens are denoted with a bubble when you swipe, this one is a + sign instead. It's blank and isn't persistent but I found it to be curious. Anyone else?

Reverse swipe fingerprint scanner works

I just found out that I can unlock my device by swiping from the bottom upwards and it is much recognizable by the scanner. I don't know if it is a dumb idea but I just would like to share.

Did you set it up to read from top to bottom, not bottom to top?

How? mine says to follow the picture and will not let me register or unlock by swiping from the bottom upwards.

I registered my thumb like the screen showed, after seeing this I tried backwards and it works. So I tried sideways it worked, and sideways in reverse works, go figure!

Set it up normally, top to bottom. I just find it out by accident that you can unlock it the reverse way. Also register your thumb by using the inter-phalangeal joint of your thumb. That makes swiping to unlock easier and less error prone. I wish I could embed video here so I can show you guys

Correct! As long the sensor recognize the pattern of your print it doesn't matter which way you swipe.

The 180 option is normally not set as default, but can be activated under Settings/Display/Rotation/

Found that setting under accessibility tab. Just will not give function to turn tablet upside down. My wifes 10.1 2014 edition does though. Anyhow using Ultimate Rotation Control from play store seems to be working with that.

Flip edge panel?

Is there a way to flip the edge panel 180 degrees by default? It just seems like it should be flipped

I wish! Makes no sense the way it is, especially when the night clock is the right way up but nothing else is.
Only thing I have found to work (temporarily) is to open an app that can be rotated, then turn your phone so the edge is at the bottom, and then shut the flip cover. Now anything on the edge is the right way up. But as soon as you open an app the right way up again (or go home) then it goes upside-down again.

This is for those people that do not bother to go into phone settings. Go into the edge panel settings and check the box that says FLIP EDGE PANEL 180 DEGREES...REALLY????

Where is that option?? When I go to Edge settings there is no checkbox for flip panel 180 degrees! Are you in left-handed mode or something? Any chance of a screenshot please?

Believe this is only for use with screen rotation. Maybe you should try it first before you claim you kno what you are talking about. Tried to insert screenshot but isnt working
