[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
I did checked out one of the Chinese ROM for the DI2 a long time ago, it isn't user friendly unless you can read those foreign characters - and there are fewer apps (striped down) for use in the rest of the global market as it is aimed mostly at China users. My home carrier has been on the CDMA side but I do use GSM (prepaid Sim cards) on both AT&T and T-Mobile, and only China Mobile HK when we are traveling & staying in Asia (which has excellent & inexpensive calling rates & wide choice of data options) - CMHK roam at home here in the US on both AT&T and T-Mo. I'm far more comfortable using Roms built here - SkyRaider v1.3 has been solid & reliable, and apps continued get updated in Play Store (and the Sim is running on AT&T) and the other rom is TSM Sense "M" 5.0.1 Ext4, also a 100% working global ROM - with a T-Mo prepaid Sim loaded. APN settings can be changed & edited, depending on the Sim card & carrier used - without worrying about those #* *# codes ...

Both of these Sense roms work when I pop in CMHK sim and once our TPAC fiights land & begin taxing at the overseas airport, I can start calling again without worries. I would recommend & endorse using either one of these Roms for anyone using it for GSM, keep in mind you will most likely only get 2 or 2.5G / Edge speed on data due to the radio bands, 3G speed is possible overseas in select countries only.

There was only one (maybe two) working Chinese Rom ported over for the DI2, that had 90 to 95% functionality, as I recall - I will look thru my notes & offline library collections to see if I kept it and can find it again. There're issues with it being incompatible with CDMA & getting signals on VZW's network, etc. and issues of bricking the device while attempting to flash or update the radio, etc. - I would proceed with caution as developers have all basically moved on.

Now that Mrs. L and I each got our own Nexus 5 to play, hers in white & mine in black, we are now running the newest KitKat 4.4.1 already and even the Nexus 7 is eager to update to 4.4.1 next - our own black & red DI2 are serving backup duties only - so I might, once I settle down on updating KitKat, to re-visit 95% plus functional GSM Roms built then (mostly 2012) for the DI2 to see if I missed one then. The last/most recent VIPER rom (Jellybeans) was supposed to work on the GSM side - I tried that last month and for whatever reasons, it just wouldn't install or run properly - and I just didn't have the spare time while "chewing" KItKat to get down to the bottom of the issues - not wanting to go blind & brick the device.

I'm still using TazSense. You'll need to upgrade to the latest Facebook, and Friendstream will authenticate. I use Friendstream on it.

I've flashed both the CDMA and GSM versions. Both work great for me.

GSM mode ?

Does GSM mode work on the viper ROM ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] felixjohan:
Yes, GSM works

Here's a post I just made in Chillybean's ROM thread. I thought I should post it here too in case it helps someone.

Basically, I never had any luck with the patch mentioned at the beginning of this thread, but the patch I'm linking to in this post did work for me. Maybe that was because when I tried the patch in this thread I didn't know about the need to erase the data. Anyway, I hope this helps someone.

Will this let me use my tmobile sim card? I do not have an unlock code for my DINC2 Verizon refuses to give it to me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trkaaa:
as long as you didn't get unlock code , you will not be able to use any other sim card until you get unlock code

you can unlock it at ebay or some other place

you can call verizon many times ,until one representative will give you the code , you should have no delayed payments in last 6 month i guess
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I hate to say it buddy, but this Rom is buggy as hell.

If you try to go to power settings, the process force closes.

If you try to add the calendar widget, it force reboots the phone.

I do not recommend this Rom at all.

Please test for functionality before recommending roms on my thread. Thanks you for trying though
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Once again thanks trkaaa for helping these people. Your answers always are top notch.

mikrunny 1.0.2 Rom , APN not working properly ( intentionally or it is messed up ) , and as such mobile data NOT Working for other carriers(at least mine not working , don't know about Verizon ! ) ,

some force closes ( FC )
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I can't get data either or set the apns and have them actually save them.

I'd rather deal with Inc 2 HD rls 1.1.

Btw what's the bugs you found with it? I'm still looking and it seems to act perfectly normal.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trkaaa:
APN could be saved , But still you will not have Data

Do you mean Inc 2 HD rls 1.1 roms when you ask about " what's the bugs you found with it " ??

if so , it is as a CDMA Rom is normal and i didn't check it much as a cdma rom cause i don't use cdma ,

i installed Inc 2 HD rls 1 not Inc 2 HD rls 1.1 ( the change log refer to minor modifications )

i applied the patch as a trial " Patch is not intended to this rom , cause it for an older base " , then it became very very laggy , buggy , and acting strange . so i knew it will not work with me as a GSM rom , i removed it without any further testing

don't expect me to remember what exact bugs because i installed it a very long time age when it is first released

some others reported the same as i had after applying the older Patch
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Yeah I meant rls 1.1.

I also never have used the CDMA part as I am a t-mobile customer.

The 1.1 seems fine with the gsm patches. I've not experienced any lag so far. I was just curious what issues you had but apparently you used a different version of the Rom.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trkaaa:
i didn't download version 1.1 ( because i had just downloaded V 1 and this new V1.1 is released )

the change log according to Newt words " posted rls 1.1 guys only thing changed

was tweaks

so i did nt add changelog "

But Now when i think about it , the statement was misleading , Because usually he issues small Patches for such things or even for updated versions of a Rom if there is no major changes

But yet he issued a complete Rom for " tweaks " !!!!!! , which astonished me but i did not think about it much at that time ( this is one of the reasons i hesitate to download that rom and preferred to wait for the next version which was never issued ) .

So i guess maybe that v1.1 is different ??? , But adding a GSM Patch that was intended for an older base is not something i prefer to do

Either way it is too late to download such an old Rom now , if i have time maybe i download it and take a look at it
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hatyrei:
Guy's how did u unlock your HTC Inc2? Except calling Verizon directly . The cheapest? Website? Other ways? also I inserted a non Verizon sim on my phone with GSM ROM Mikmik. it says the simcard is not recognize/accepted call customer care in the lock screen; but after I unlock the screen , nothing happened....there's no way to enter the unlock code. I restarted the phone but still I cant acces that numberpad where u can put your unlock code. Thank you.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I used a website. The unlock option is in settings > security > disable SIM lock
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
You may have to use a stock Rom to do it

Radio Band on HTCIN2

so far my in2 run on the original rom as gsm but the only think i can't find solution for it it unlock the radio for using the data onb the 4g or 3g am always on EDGE do you have any solution for that
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trkaaa:
i don't use t-mobile , But lot of users say that Incredible 2 gets only EDGE on t-mobile ?? , others say it is a limitation by verizon on use of its phones with other US carriers !!!

EDGE is equal from 2G to 2.5 G usually ( different technical opinions ) , But some Upgraded EDGE networks could reach 3G speed . so the judge is the speed ( one t-mobile user reported getting speeds on EDGE up to 75% or 80% of 3G speed using speed test ) .

And if you were expecting or looking to get "H" , please note that "H" is like 3.5 G or higher .

maybe you restricted you phone to use 2G only ( if you choose GSM Only ) , Please read my Post to know how to force 2G or 3G to your Phone in Here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1372052&highlight=useful+general
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
As a T-Mobile customer I will say you WILL NOT get 3 or 4G signal. The radio is not setup for it, period.

Edge is the best you're going to get. I've tried all kinds of different apn configurations all with the same results.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trkaaa:
that what i said "But lot of users say that Incredible 2 gets only EDGE on t-mobile " , i mentioned the rest for him to answer any ideas in his mind regarding that matter and save him some wasted search trying to get " H " which is even higher than 3G

i guess the technical explanation for that EGDE only on t-mobile is as follows:

All phones manufactured specifically for t-mobile

2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network HSDPA 1700 / 2100 or HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100

Incredible 2

2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100

the 2100 band is the global used Band ( where i live , 2100 is the only available 3G frequency )

So the only explanation i can think of is , if t-mobile uses only that 1700 to broadcast 3G , then Incredible 2 will not get 3G , But in theory if t-mobile broadcast 2100 and you can access it then you could have that 3G

( i have no idea about t-mobile , i did a very quick google that showed if there is a Valid IMEI for one of their 3G Phones ( which we are not ) , then that phone can access 3G through 2100 also ??? maybe through a plan ??? google it if you are interested )

if this is the case , then i guess the access to t-mobile 3G through 2100 is controlled by t-mobile ( determining which IMEI are allowed to access it ) , meaning if this is the case that our device should be able to access 3g if this limitation is removed i guess !!

however , up to my understanding some networks infrastructure was build according to certain GSM type , then the infrastructure is upgraded " Enhanced " with time on the same base ( EDGE could reach 2.75 G or maybe higher ) .the Judge is the speed you get not the name i guess

what speed does speed test give you ? is it near the 3G speeds ? or it actually 2G speed

thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] m_srayi:
well am using simple mobile and is part off T-mobile they are same network some time i have H displayed on my incredible but for a second that all :(, i can't use it the only think i can use is the edge E but it very slow i hop if i an find a solution to patch the Radio or something else
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joarce:
I searched and didn't find the answer so here goes.

Rooted and running SkyRaider Zeus 1.3 can I unlock the GSM?

Rooted and running SkyRaider Zeus 1.3 can I flash the phone to another carrier?

Thank you.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trkaaa:
if you mean by " patch the Radio " something related to " ril " , i don't know much about that except they should match ( ril is similar to how kernels function , except ril is for communicating with Radio only ) , and Basically i don't like to come near to the radio area

if you mean by " patch the Radio " , that you want to install a radio for different device ( even if they are very similar ) , your device will be bricked

NEVER NEVER install a radio except for the Incredible 2 Radio's , your device will be Bricked , ( because the first thing that is Started to power on your phone is the Radio , if there is a mismatch , you are Bricked )

this type of Brick is beyond repair ( some reported that the only way " if it possible " is to return it back Not to Verizon But to htc itself and you will be charged for it ?????????? )
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I'm with trkaaa on this one. DO NOT FLASH NON INC 2 RADIOS. It WILL brick your device..PERIOD.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joarce:
Sorry to quote myself, but I feel it got lost at the bottom of the previous page.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
OK to start with. Yes you can unlock GSM with SR Zeus.

Google "unlock incredible 2" and you should find a website that can do it via IMEI number.

Pay them, get the unlock code, then in your phone go to settings > security > disable SIM lock. Enter the code then the phone should unlock fine.

This is also permanent so you can flash whatever from you want afterwards with no worries.

I have done this myself, I currently use T-Mobile with mine so I know it works.

I hope this helps you out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joarce:
Thank you for the reply. I have studied the unlocking process.

Do you know if SR Zeus can be on the phone when I flash it to another carrier?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
If you can do it with stock, you can do it with srz
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Actually in my experience most roms have the enable/disable sim lock option, but there Sino "flashing" to another carrier. You just unlock the phone and insert whatever sim card you want. It's really that simple, I did this several times already.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Oh yeah, but the question was specifically about srz
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
True but I'm getting sick of answering this same question over and over again.

I'm trying to make it perfectly clear how this works no matter what Rom is used.

Unless it's a non-GSM patched Sense 3.0+ Rom, it's always the same.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Sorry I haven't got you the info you want yet. I'll get it to you soon. I'm in an area of the US that is having really bad weather right now and I don't want to test data speeds in a snow storm lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] scamil87:
So, does Virtuous Unity 2.39 already come with the GSM patch? Cause when i dial the *#*#4636#*#* command i get the phone status menu with the option to change the network type.

And if not, does any one have a link for it? cause i did find a link for the patch but it was on megaupload and that is of course, gone now.

And am i right to assume that with Virtuous Unity instaleld with the gsm patch, the phone is already "Sim lock disabled"? Or would i have to flash back to a stock ROM to do that?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trkaaa:
Virtuous Unity 2.39

Does NOT

if you like Virtuous Unity

note that 2.31 or 2.33 i think is available via Rom Manager and it is for incredible 2 , i think also 2.37 works but not sure )

I want to get my inc2 unlocked but it only lists a 14 digit IMEI and all the unlockers ask for a 15-17 digit one. Anyone know what to do?

Mark
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bswann:
Look in Settings/About phone/Phone Identity. If you are running certain Roms it will not be there. I was running MIUI and it was not there and I was getting the same thing you are ( 14 digit number ) using the 06 code. I flashed back to a Stock Rom and got the IMEI. I tried to get an unlock code from GSMLiberty but, it has been 2 days and still no code.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bswann:
GSMLiberty just emailed me and said they were not able to find an unlock code for my phone and they gave me a refund. Any suggestions on a site that can do it or that you all have used?

Edit: HTCSimUnlock.com could not find a unlock code. That is 2 sites, 2 upgraded searches, 2 sets of refunds and still no code!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] scamil87:
You sure you have the right IMEI #? I also had a 14 digit and letter combination on my Virtuous Rom and had to flash to a stocker to get the correct IMEI. As far as buying the codes, i just got mine on ebay for 5 bucks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bswann:
Yea, the IMEI is right and 15 digits. I'm waiting on a refund from HTCSimunlock then ill try a different one. The ones in eBay say they will mail the code, which one did you use?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Viper32:
Well I have flashed several Roms and still get 14 git IMEI number. Can someone help me find a ROM to flash that will show correct 15 digit code so that I can get unlocked....... Please............

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bswann:
I used andyBONESTOCK 5.10.605.9 and it showed the correct 15 digit IMEI number. I just flashed it again while typing this and it is there. Go to Settings/About Phone/Phone Identity and it will show the 15 digit number.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Viper32:
Yeah I would try it but download link is dead? Any thoughts?

I would use any Stock rom. I was using SkyRaider Zeus 1.3 when I unlocked. ICS may also give the correct IMEI number as well

Please Please Please ,stay away from ICS Roms , it can cause Brick easily and most probably

Please Note that ICS is still a BETA and TEST Roms , and need special upgrade and downgrade proceedure ( i.e return back to GB ) . i just bought a sensation 4g , and you cann't imagine the amount of Bricked phones Due to ICS in Sensation

you can try also rmk sense r1 it is the first original rooted stock rom

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
Big Red a/k/a VZW has been known to change the factory unlock code for the GSM sim, thus making it PITA to switch away from their Vodafone partner abroad - I had this problem with a different HTC global phone before, none of the eBay resources could do it - including "blowfish" (no longer registered, I checked) who's been very reliable for unlocking other devices inexpensively.

The revised unlock code is stored in VZW's database that their global support tech. / help desk have access to, upon they authenticate your account as being in good standing, etc. - they will release it & walk you thru the steps to do it, and make sure you verified that it's working, etc. (after a 3 minute lecture script about risk, charges, and no longer supporting the device, yada yada ...)

If you've tried 2 eBay sources & their generated/codes as given did not work, it's very likely that it's been changed & only Big Red can retrieve it for unlocking purposes.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Weird, I've never had many issues with the Inc 2 ICS roms. I have been using them since NTSH Beta 1. Followed by TouchPro Betas 1,2,3, and 6, Aeroevans CM9 Kangs, and currently I run AOKP ICS Milestone 3 as my daily rom. I have all running just fine with a couple minor bugs in each but nothing serious.

I never noticed any special flashing procedures either. I've gone back and forth between various 2.3.4 roms, and 2.3.5. Sense or none, it seems to not matter. Just wipe all partitions and flash like usual.

I even tried installing all the ICS builds simultaneously via Boot Manager Pro just to try to get errors but none but the GSM issues that I figured out and the camera problems of course, but I see no reason not to use ICS at this point.

No offense buddy, just stating my experience with ICS.....kinda buggy but quite stable and very smooth and awesome UI
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bswann:
I haven't tried any of the codes from eBay I tried GSMLiberty.com and HTCSimunlock.com. I called VZW and was told that I did not need the unlock code to use it abroad and that because my account wasn't 60 days old yet I could not get the unlock code.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trkaaa:
i was talking specifically on what i saw with the sensation , and it needs special procedure and a lot of people have been screwed when they are going back and forth

as for incredible 2 , i never tried it or even read about it , is it ICS with Sense or it is like AOSP ?

i still prefer to play it safe , NO FOR BETA or TEST Roms ,specially with a complete android version change ( Android 4 )
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Unfortunately no sense yet for ICS on the Inc 2 :(, but overall even though they are all betas they run great and the battery life is way better than any other Android versions. Mainly its the camera that keeps it a beta. Netflix doesn't work either for some reason, but I don't use it anyway so it doesn't bother me.

All of the ICS builds for Inc 2 seem about the same really. AOKP Milestone 3 seems the most stable atm. I've had stock roms give me more problems than it.

Simple mobile on dinc 2

Hey If you have a Simple Mobile Sim Card and are trying to use it on your DInc2 then you can do the following:

This can applies to any rom that will allow you to dial *#*#4636#*#* or that has the "phone information" in their "tweaked settings".

Change to "GSM only" or "GSM auto PRL" then apply the APN changes below

APN Settings can be found here:

http://www.mysimplemobile.com/Support-Center-Phone-Programming.aspx

I use the Android 1.6 or higher setting and they work fine.

Again as stated before this only gives you 2g or the "E" in the status bar but everything does work.

I hope this helped anybody looking for how to setup Simple Mobile on their DInc2
