Ordered Droid X from Amazon, Stuck on "Setup Accounts" screen?

[killerwave]

Just ordered a Droid X from amazon a few days ago, because my iphone broke. I can't seem to get past the "Setup Accounts" page (with options to add your email, flickr, facebook, etc) in the initial activation. I tried a lot of different things, like doing hard resets, attempting to crash the activation app, pressing all the buttons repetitiously, and whatever I can to somehow bypass the "Setup Accounts" screen, but I can't seem to get pass it.

Anybody have any suggestions on anything I can do??

Phone is activated on verizon?
Will it let you add a email account?
May need to reflash firmware
If using verizon download 621 sbf and rsd lite
If other carrier use ezSBF 621

Welcome to Android Forums.

Did you actually just buy a Droid X from Amazon or was it perhaps a Moto X that you just bought? See ... Motorola DROID X vs. Motorola Moto X - GSMArena.com.

Thanks for your response, themib! Yep, i'm going through verizon, and yeah, it lets me add an email, answer calls, respond to texts and simple things when people interact with me, however I can't use any applications on my own and still redirects to the "Setup Accounts" screen whenever I try to go to the home screen. (I haven't even seen the home screen yet!) I'm going to attempt to reflash the firmware, I will do some research on google for 621 sbf and rsd lite, I appreciate the link you provided but I wasn't really having good luck finding 621 sbf and rsd lite within the link lol. Aaaaand, I have a Mac computer and a lot of things don't like to work for Macs.

Yep Thom, it's a Droid X and not a Moto X, the link you gave confirms that - thanks

with a mac, best option is the ezSBF 621
or the sbf_flash option

It could be the stock launcher has failed.
if so easy fix, on a pc/mac go to play.google.com sign in
and install another launcher, there are dozens of free ones.
once it is downloaded and installed on the phone, you should get a pop up asking to choose a launcher.

I have had to activate 3 Droid X during this past year, I remember having an issue I believe was the same.
Have you set up a 'gmail' account on that phone as most of the apps need to access Playstore. If I remember, the 'set up account issue' went away once I did that.
Just a thought.

Ok so I have ezSBF 621 working on my computer, and everything goes smoothly until after the point where I put my phone into Bootloader mode... it says in ezSBF 621 "Waiting for phone:", but nothing at all happens with either the phone or ezSBF 621, even after waiting quite awhile :/ any tips on this guys?? Am I suppose to leave it for a long time?

Also, DougieFresh4U, I just attempted that now but no luck :/

 

[themib]

try a rear usb port, or a different usb cable

 

[themib]

booting from cd or usb drive?

 

[killerwave]

Booting from a cd, I will try to find a different wire and use a different USB port and let y'all know later. Thanks!

 

[themib]

also try disconnecting all usb devices, except keyboard
