Q10: Can I use the Droid X, without activating with a carrier (WiFi only)? ​Yes, to skip activation, use 4 corners method or Boot Android {No BP}​
Boot Android {No BP}: Power on phone holding volume down, when you see fast boot keep tapping volume down till you see "Boot Android {No BP}" and press volume up.
It will boot you into Google Setup....just click the green guy then select the "skip" option for the rest of the setup. When you get to the location service consent section with the 3 options just don't select any and you will boot to the regular home screen with no service.
