What to do with the wrong phone? - Droid 2 General

So a little while ago I bought a "Droid 2 Global in Black" on Amazon... but it turned out to be a LOCKED CDMA Verizon device. They won't take it back, so I'm stuck with it. I rooted and installed CM7, but I really can't think of a use for this phone. I don't think I want it as a media player or anything.
Any suggestions?

You could donate it.

You can use it as a home phone, land line replacement. Put a google voice number on it and set it up to work over wifi then just leave it at home.
That's what im doing with my droid when I place it.

That's a great idea, but sadly I can't get google voice in Canada.
Same problem with donating I guess. No one around here can use it.

Alot of devs could use a d2g. Even if it's not a working phone.

OK good to know, I will definitely keep it in mind. The phone works great, it's just useless to me since it's locked to Verizon.

I'm sure bikedude880 on rootzwiki would love a spare d2g.

How much did you get yours for
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Dude, no way. As per your status, it looks like you have a hero. Root your hero using SuperOneClick (google it), and install wireless tether. Gives you a wifi hotspot, its the best thing EVER. no tether either. AND no $$. Beastly.

What kernel are you running and which model PS3? Newer line or older?
Mine doesn't read Wireless Tether yet, but the dev's are close to having Compat-Wireless done I think, and that will solve the problem.

Full access

Has P3Droid obtained full access to the X? Or was the GB leak only allowed because it was a leak of the official. Will CM7 be possible one day?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
The only real progress I know of is the team working with kexec(sp). They bypassed the bootloader, but need drivers. Dev is pretty still...
As for P3, I was sure he had a dev phone that wasn't locked down at all. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
No p3 has dev phones. I think they got the wifi driver and are waiting on bluetooth. Although I haven't seen any new posts on the official bluetpoth thread for a while.

Wasn't there something a few weeks ago where someone 'discovered' the bootloader keys and told Motorola to release them or he would? Or is my brain playing tricks again?

What's up guys! Esteway, you will learn a whole new way to root install recovery etc. Once you get cwm on board just go about flashing as normal. Shabbypenguin made a one click root to make it easier but its almost too easy
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I just made the same switch and am happy with the phone. Rooting is a bit trickier at first but fastboot is quite cool and easy to use. Read the rooting instructions carefully.... I scared myself a few times. You won't need odin or heimdall anymore.

Unfortunately it is not free. There is an in app purchurase, to unloc a key of the app. The funny thing is that for Apple users is free. I personally used the previous version, but Thanks to this I will try a new app to perform this function. Definitely lost a customer and sincerely hope that many others go away to.
Same here... Am enjoying watching the ratings go down for it... people are angry....

Yes you have to leave it on.
So does the old splash top HD still work, since that didn't require a monthly fee? Edit: yup still works even over 3G

Untill last week I was able to get it on my Galaxy Nexus 4G but the updated it so that it is incompatable again. I haven't seen a fix for the Galaxy Nexus yet so I wouldn't bet on there being a way to put it on The Razr M.
Personally, I'm done fighting with google. If they don't want to take my money I'll find another app like Square or the Cyanogen Mod app to do it.
The razr m is not supported for Google wallet I tried to side load it yesterday and I would not even install. Got it to install on my Gnex though will see if it works on Thursday.

Complain to the FCC that Verizon is blocking access to the app. The phone meets Google requirements.
