While trying to get ready for X2 soak test, I did a factory reset and the phone would not activate after. Called Verizon and rep showed me how to do it manually
Motorola Droid X2 manual activation procedure:
Power off
Pull battery for 30 seconds. Reboot
When you see droid icon at boot tap on it repeatedly, this will bring you to Moto terms and conditions, accept them. Go to dialer
Dial ##7764726
Go to activation (note there are many other options in this menu)
First box enter six zeros 000000
Second box: Enter 10 digit phone number
Leave MSI Box as is
Enter ten digit phone number again
CDMA: Enter 48
Done
Then do a *228 option 2
You are now activated.

You were willing to ask the question - so ... please share what you found so that a person searching this site doesn't end up with:
"Nevermind, figured it out."

Sorry...when the activation starts dialing just hit the home button. If that doesnt work try the menu button

The above works but will revert back to the activation screen if you power cycle. So in addition you may also want to press Emergency Call then dial ##PROGRAM + Send enter 000000 and change with MDN and MIN to 999-999-9999 this way the phone thinks it's activated.
Enjoy,

I successfully bypassed activation by allowing the activation call to initiate and then I hit "2" for the "roaming" option. That will automatically fail and once the call ends. You will be able to press next for the subsequent step in the phone setup process.
I didn't port my AT&T number when bought the phone. Long story short...once you check the port status at http://www.verizonwireless.com/LNP and it says "Congratulations...Press *228 Send, option 1", this option doesn't work.
What you need to turn off the phone. Wait for 2 min and turn it back on. Then press #832. It should say your number has been bridged successfully. You're good to go.
Made 3 different calls to support to get it resolved.
I'm currently running Froyo 1.70.605 with Radio MR2.5. When I press #1 key to access vm, it just hangs there and doesn't connect me to listen to my vm. I can see and access my VMs when I select the VM icon. But when I press #1 key, it doesn't work.
FYI..I did use Youmail a while back, and I cancelled and reset back to vzw VM.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Check your speed dial settings
Go into the phone dialer->Hit Menu->Speed dial->see what's under #1 - it should be *86. They have a page on YouMail's website for how to set it back if it's not.
Your phone probably doesnt have Voicemail set up under that key anymore. So when you are pressing 1 it isnt trying to call anything. I want to say the VM number is *68 or *86. So just put it as a speed dial under 1 and then itll fix you problem!
I can't remember if this existed on the stock Froyo dialer or not but you may also want to check the Dialer's settings.
Open Dialer then select Menu->Preferences. There may be options for Voicemail in there as well as Settings->Call Settings.
Or just fix the speed dial as mentioned.
Thanks for the suggestions. They seemed to have worked. Now having another problem. Will post question in another post.
Also instated of putting just *86 If you put *86pxxxx where xxxx is your pin number, it will put it in for you when you call so you don't have to enter your pin everytime.

Hi. I sent my rooted custom aospCMod Optimus V to my cousin as he wanted to take over my account. He says he's having problems changing the phone number to his area code. Will the phone have to be put back to stock just to change the number? Cheers. Ed
stock, or stock-based, like harmonia.
have him make a nandroid backup before flashing the froyo-based rom.
after froyo is installed, the ## menus in the dialer will work to activate, and so will the activate.apk
once the phone is activated and working with the new number, restore the nandroid if he wants to keep using aospCmod.
that rom is a little old... but it did work pretty well for me back before blarf came up with the IHO cm7 variant.
Thanks. Will have him do that and post how it goes. I also forgot to mention I changed the PRL. Will that be a problem too.? Thanks. Ed
the prl should be fine. good luck, should be relatively painless.
Got everything back to stock and now says "service is not available". Any suggestions? Thanks.
Still working on this. I am trying to make sure he doesn't have to mail this back to me. Tried reflashing stock ROM but the same "service not available". Shouldn't it launch a menu? The phone was working fine when he got it. This just started when he tried to change the number.
Should he unroot it?
Should he try Harmonia? Thanks.
Did he change the number before going back to stock? If he did they may have cancelled the service. That's the only way to get a new number as far as I know.

unrooting or Harmonia won't help.
it's possible data service is down in his area, it won't provision without a data connection. wifi probably won't work for that. vm is well known for data problems.
if his phone is programmed right with the new number, and vm set up his account on the phone, then his voice and sms service should work regardless of the data being available.
making a call to someone is a good test. *vm isn't, that works whether activated or not.
if voice is working, the phone is programmed, but it'll have to stay on stock ROM until it gets a data connection to provision 3g (it'll only show 1x at best until activate is run successfully.)
It is fixed.
He had it all back to stock and still nothing. Get getting "service unavailable" when trying to activate. Virgin actually helped him out. Here is what they sent and it got him up and running,,,,
Thanks for contacting Virgin Mobile Customer Care.

Nice!
Sent from my LG-VM670-CM7-BobZhome-Minimal Magic Full Morph.
excellent.
that's why it had to be on a stock or stock-based froyo rom like harmonia.
the gingerbread roms don't have the ## menus in the dialer, so no way to manually change the numbers. when you call vm to activate, they always have you enter the ##virgin# in the dialer and change those two settings and reboot.
glad it worked out!
