I've done that a dozen times at least. Man, this is SO frustrating!

I would use the gift again and then try to activate. Make sure you touch nothing until it says its time to reboot and do nothing to the phone until fully rebooted with the droid character is on the phone. Or even try a factory reset first.

Thanks, friend. I will do that in the morning when they open back up. Is this a common problem, or do you think it had something to do with the "stupid" attempt to go from 2.1 to 2.3?

Yep, tried that already, steeleshark. Thanks!

No problem!! Just let us know if it gets fixed tomorrow. If it doesn't, there is a lot of talent out here to get you fixed.

Yeah when I wiped the first time it activated fine second time it wouldn't do it. I let it sit overnight and in the morning for some reason it worked. The other time I called Verizon and they got my through the initial screen by tapping the corners like you did. Then I called in again after a battery pull and it worked. So if none of those work then if you call them they can give you the numbers you need to do it manually. Flashing back again and again is not needed.

I installed the 64 bit drivers for my phone, but when I start up RSD Lite it doesn't see it. Please help!

Did you install the drivers with usb debugging mode off? What mode is your phone on?

I got it working. I got root back on 2.1. Now I am trying to get connected to Google but it won't even do it through the wifi connection. I need that so I can install rom manager and boot strap and all that crap and try to restore back to my 2.1 backup.
