Bypass activation screen - Motorola Atrix 2

i got an atrix 2 to but i prefer my OG one better, but i dont want to put my sim in it and do the blur set up, the 4 corners trick does not work. i have also tried the volume button down trick but i cannot select anything.

The A2 doesn't have a blur set up like the original atrix.

Yes it does, it does it automatically. but you need to have your rooted and modify build.prop (ro.mot.setuptype=4) and do a factory reset from the stock recovery to bypass it

Did some searching myself for the answer to that one and it's as simple as holding the camera button when first booting the Atrix 2 after a wipe or whatever - that'll get past the activation/no SIM screen so you can actually make use of the phone.
At least that's what worked for me on the Atrix 2 I just got a few hours ago at a pawn shop pretty cheap, now running Romulus 2.0 and it's pretty wicked fast for sure.
Can't wait to see some actual (official) ICS on this thing, it's a fantastic device overall.

Any luck so far, I'd much rather this lock screen.
Seems more logical, since I hold the phone on it's lower half, easy thumb access.
while someone is at it would you mind looking into getting the puzzle lock screen from other Galaxy S devices as well?
I'm hooked on widget locker...You can set it to use the HTC slide screen too...

I miss stock lock :'(
This one works.

I finally got around to following the tutorial and getting it to work. Simply flash the attached zip from clockwork.
Just flashed and it works perfectly thanks for this it a needed add on the stock lock screen was pretty lame.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Works and looks great! Great job, thanx.
@bubby - Flashed no problem, works great, thanks!
Worked perfectly. Thanks. Can it do other things besides sound and unlock? and if so how do i add them?
Also anyway i can unlock to open text msgs? like the old one. i do like this lock screen. Just wondering how to customize it.
Works great fot me as well!
Just wondering though, is there anyway to go back to the TW lockscreen after installin the stock unlock screen mod?
Sorry for the noob question but how would I flash this file using clockwork recovery? Would I have to rename this to update.zip or just select install from sd card? I tried the latter and know seemed like it worked by I still get the same default lock screen. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

You must be on a deodexed rom or it will not work, and ill put togethet a zip to flash back soon.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Well tried it. Tried the widget locker. Honestly i dont see what the fuss about this is. it made it so i couldnt unlock to goto text msg when i got a new one or anything. i went back to stock lock screen. ill wait til the puzzle piece lock screen works. Thanks for your hard work tho this lock screen isnt for me.
This thing is fickle as hell for me. I love it, though. Does anyone else have issues with it not actually coming up when using a pattern unlock?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It works fine for me when using pattern unlock, of corse, tough, i am testing on my rom so mayb e that's the solution? Fair bet either way...

No ROOT

Through the years, I've led myself to more issues with my phone by rooting it and customizing it to my hearts content. Recently, I decided to go back to stock. I'm pretty fed up with this phone, rooted or not. What I want to know is how I can get rid of busybox. I installed root checker to make sure the phone was factory stock, but busybox remains. Any answers? Only one I've found involves root access.

This thread will get you bone stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486
If it shows anything after that, then it either came on the phone, or it's picking up something on your SD card.
Hmmm, this is what I did originally. Why wasn't busybox removed? Couldn't be sd card, its been reformatted recently.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
Does anyone know why busybox is not being removed? I've odined the stock rom, going from ed1 to ee4 twice now. When I run root checker, it still says that "busybox has been installed correctly".
Edit: when I say going from ed1, I mean I odined that, then did the ota to ee4

IMO I don't think it matters honestly, they're not gonna run root checker at the factory... all they want to see is that it powers on and works and there's no physical damage, if they see something glaringly obvious like a custom rom or the superuser app then yeah they'll ding you for it
as for removing it without root I wouldn't know, if you knew how to compile/recompile rom packages you could remove it from the Odin package then flash it.. also it's in the market, maybe try uninstalling it from there or under 'all' applications tab in applications settings

Lol.. don't worry about that. For one
. They flash at the factory. This is the 4th charge i have had. I send them in all he time to get new ones and I have never reverted to stock first. The one I sent in a few weeks ago was running gummygbe2.1 and before that humblecomb.
Before the charge I had the dinc and sent it in with cynogen and other roms frequently.
Being as you are sending it in stock... you will be fine dude.
Its a little known secret but verizon will swap your phone for any reason and they rarely even verify you sent the old one back. I ended up with 3 droid incredibles lol.

Lol alright, thanks. I really can't stand this thing. I have such bad luck with phones. Every phone I get is a piece. The Charge's data switch is horrible, constant freezes and black screens. And let's not forget the flash crash while using the camera with the flash.

I think if this phone had more ram it would be much much better but come on.. 328mb of ram? my gfs phone "droid incredible 2" has damn near 900mb of ram and that thing is indestructible.
But to answer your question with a question.. do you have the .pit file in, auto reboot and F. Reset time NOT checked with repartition checked?

Skyrocket screen staying completely black?

Completely stock skyrocket, for whatever reason a couple times a week my screen will go completely black and won't be able to unlock. The only way to get it working again is too remove the battery. In this state I still hear txt tones and such, but no buttons will brig the screen back.

What have you done to your phone so far? Root? Install ROM? Kernel? OC? UV?
All of these things will be useful to know when trying to solve it.

That honestly sounds like a sleep death, which definitely should NOT happen on a stock rom... If you can I would definitely take that phone back to ATT or wherever you got it to get it replaced.

Could a app cause this? Think it started after I downloaded ICS keyboard. The screen sometimes goes black when I unlock it, but its not a deep dark black like the sleep mode, when this happens if I hit the back button, it fixes it. So I switched which ics keyboard o use now, so hope it stops both issues

i had 2 stock sgh-i727r completely unmodified do this. i did factory resets and issues re-occurred. could have been app related but i was having it with no apps after.
didnt bother troubleshooting more than a hour, took it to rogers as both phones had problems < 15 days of getting the phone
first one lasted just 12 hours, rogers store did a DOA replacement and got it right away.
2 weeks later, my replacement sgh-i727r had the same problem. called rogers, got my replacement in 3 days.
so far so good.
rogers chalked it up to hardware issue after asking if i had rooted the phone each time.
This happened to me for the first time ever, yesterday.
I received a text. Phone made a notification sound, but then the screen would not come on. I could hear keys and notification sounds, but no visuals.
I took the battery out and now all is ok again.
I am on a stock 2.3.5 Rogers ROM.
if this problem persists, follow these steps.
Backup apps with titanium backup, but only the ones with information u really need
export contacts to sd
download darkside to sd
boot into cwm and flash darkside
reboot the phone BUT RIGHT BACK INTO ODIN.
Flash the stock rom or one of the pre-rootex ones
Problem solved :-D

This EXACT thing happened to my skyrocket and my friends on our bone stock phones.. We have both since flashed quick wiz rom onto our phone and has not happened a single time... The problem? ATT Sucks... just flash your phone
This started happening to me today and it has happened more than 4 times now :/ I get the notification... BLN comes on but I can't turn on the screen. If I click the power button or volume buttons, the backlights go off for a few seconds and then come back on. This is getting really annoying
Edit: Rebooted the phone just now and it happened AGAIN on the first text I received... wtff is this

[Q] WTF just happened?

I have had my S3 for about two months now and it has been rooted the whole time. The stock ROM finally annoyed me enough to try a new ROM. I installed Rootbox then Pacman, but they both just sat on the boot screen for about 10 minutes before I pulled the battery and gave up. I tried installing MIUI which went well but as soon as I hit the 'restart' button, the screen went blank and now the phone won't turn on. The battery is fine, I tried the known good one out of my wife's S3.
Is there any hope here? Any chance I will be able to get it swapped out at Verizon? Am I just f'ed?
Just for the record because I know it will be asked: I am have installed many ROMs on my old Droid X and I did follow directions for these installs. MIUI even had the wizard. I do have a nandroid but since I cannot turn the phone on at all, I can't get to it. I cannot get to download mode or react when I plug the charger in. I can't even get the thing to vibrate when holding down the power button...as far as I can tell it is COMPLETELY dead.
Thanks for the input.
Pull the battery and try again. If that doesn't work plug it in and see if it charges.

i fried a gsiii and got a replacement frpm big red. just tell them the OTA did it. if it can't turn on they can't check what you've done until it's too late. bring it in asap and have a sob story about how the update destroyed your phone... it worked 2 days after the jelly bean update for me.

I just meant that I've been out of the flashing scene for about a year until recently and this phone has a different method, plus the fact that it took me 2 days to get everything backed up, set back up how I like, etc. I've lost my nerve I guess. I used to be a serial flasher of roms back in the Eris days. New rom that nobody's tried yet? Sure thing. These days I'm even hesitant to flash something if it's tried and true and nobody is seeing any problems. Plus the fact that my hardware is messed up. (I dropped it in water twice by accident and the screen also broke in a separate incident)

Damn, still working after water twice, nice! Just do a backup before, so if you don't like it, you can restore everything you had. And, if your S-ON, remember to flash boot.img separately.
