Droid X2 new OS

September 19, 2014 8:43 AM

I was given a Droid X2 that I'd like to re-use as a music player, etc. The phone has been...reset? and is at the 'call Verizon' screen. I have zero experience installing operating systems on Android phones. Is there a way to install an alternate OS on this phone that would let me use it? All the walkthroughs I've seen assume you can install software on the phone. I have PCs and Macs available to use to help install what I need.

Best answer: It seems like this might help you. If that does, then you can go over to XDA and root it using the method listed if you want. But in my experience, you may as well just leave it the way it is after you bypass the activation, there's not a lot of ROM's, but you can definitely poke around and see if it's worth it.
