I bought two droid bionics on ebay after being told on another forum that I could bypass the activation without a sim card. I only want to use the phones over wifi with no service. I received the phones today for a birthday 3 days away and when I power them up there is no android screen. The first screen is language selection, then when you hit "Start" the second screen says "a sim card is needed to operate this phone" with two buttons "Emergency call" and "Power off". I tried the 4 corner trick on both screens, but it didn't work. It took me a while to do the 4 corners on a Droid X and a Droid 2 so maybe I'm just not hitting it in the right spot, but it appears to not work.
Can someone please confirm that the 4 corner trick works on the "a sim card is needed to operate this phone" screen with no android guy? Also could someone please tell me how to use these phones on wifi only if the 4 corner trick doesn't work? What's my next step? Borrow someone's sim card and try the bypass trick?
The phones are running 4.1.x
