Help Program Menu - Bypass Booting

[Techniq]

In the Program Menu (##PROGRAM aka ##7764726, pass 000000) I found a setting called Bypass Booting and was wondering what it was. It is set on Disable and I don't dare enable it so I was just wondering what it does and if it would help in any of our endeavors.

I searched both the forums and Google and really haven't come up with any real results.

This is probably something obvious to many of you but I want to know how you get to this? I tried it using the dialer but all it did was dial that number out.
Thanks.

Not sure why the issue, I used the dialer entered the 2 pound symbols along with the code and hit the send/call button. Next the password box appeared and I was in.

If you have removed the hidden menu with titanium, this is what the hidden menu is.

Well, I figured it out. I was typing in the exact sequence of numbers (##776426) in Techniq's post instead of the sequence spelled out by the word PROGRAM (##7764726). You'll see he's missing the 3rd 7.
If you don't type it in exactly then the phone dials out and verizon comes on the line and tells you that the call cannot be completed as dialed.
Crisis averted. Thanks everyone!

So does anyone know what enabling "Bypass booting" does?

Edit: OK. Spun up courage and enabled "Bypass Booting", it did not change the "bootup" of my Commando one bit. No affect on the phone that I can tell.

could this unlock fastboot for our phones?!

I use to plug in my phone while off and a battery icon would come up and show the phone charging, after changing the bypass booting my phone no longer does this, now it powers on without needing to push the power button. Now i can just connect a charger/usb from my computer, and it powers up.

Never noticed this since my phone is never off.
