verizon incredible 2

I just picked up a refurb verizon incredible 2 and I have no intention of using it on verizon or CDMA. I will be using the phone on GSM in Thailand.

Will this rom be suitable for use out here on the GSM network. My carrier uses the 900Mhz band for 3G and I'm fairly certain the phone supports this. Will this ROM support 3G on GSM?

I have been trying to read up on these phones as much as possible and I have come across much talk that GSM is not supported very well and quite buggy. I think that might all be old info and now the 3G is working fine with GSM.

As far as sim network unlocking this phone, is the pnly way to do that via a paid site that sells unlock codes? Is there no way to do this with a simple hack or app that will discover the unlock codes?

Do I need to flash to a OEM rom prior to flashing the new phone with this MIUI rom?

I know I'm asking several newbie questions but it gets quite overwhelming when trying to get current information on these devices.

Thanks in advance for any help.

UPDATE MIUI4 v3.1.25!!!!!!

So, here's the update:

ROM: For GSM / For CDMA

Language Pack (GSM Users only): http://goo.im/devs/ibotpeaches/miui...5/multi_lang/miuiandroid_lang_vivo-3.1.25.zip

Control Panel Suite: http://goo.im/devs/fusionjack/Contr...Suite_miuiandroid_lang_vivo-3.1.25-signed.zip

Patched services.jar for V6 Supercharger: http://d-h.st/4f4

How to flash/use:

If coming from previous version-

1. Wipe cache & dalvik in Recovery

2. Flash the ROM & Reboot

3. After the ROM has booted successfully, reboot back to recovery & flash the other add-on's (Lang Pack, Control Panel suite etc,) at once!

For a fresh install-

1. Flash the Anti-venom patch if coming from Viper ROM (Flashing this wont harm your device anyway)

2. Select "Format all partitions except SD Card" (4EXT Recovery recommended)

3. Flash the ROM & Reboot

4. After the ROM has booted successfully, reboot back to recovery & flash the other add-on's (Lang Pack, Control Panel suite etc,) at once!

Go to the Android development section and read through the stickies. Do not pay to unlock. GSM works well AFAIK (I'm on vzw).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jayman007:
I will keep reading the stickies but so far everything I have read says I must buy an unlock code to remove the network lock. You say you use your phone on verizon so have you even network unlocked your device? Have you used it outside the country on a GSM network with a non verizon sim?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rushead:
Re: [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 3.1.25 [28-01-2013]

No, but I've read enough to know, albeit vicariously, that GSM does work. This rom,for example, is more stable GSM than cdma (or at least it started out that way).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] catnapped:
Was it a mistake to have installed "MIUI Security" from that other site? The last version of the rom had no problem with it but I updated to the latest rom and now anything that needs access to root fails.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khamsakamal48:
Re: [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 3.1.25 [28-01-2013]

Try to flash SuperSU in recovery...! Hope that helps!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brokenchains:
Going off this, how is the CDMA stability here? I tried this a couple builds back but just wasn't quite there for me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] antdog24:
I'm running it as my daily and I'm not having any issues with dropped calls or anything like that. Everything is solid. The only thing that this ROM doesn't do right out of the box is sending MMS (I use GO SMS for sending MMS) otherwise its awesome.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brokenchains:
Hmm. Sounds pretty good. I'm getting restless in my last 6 months of this phone :) I just flashed MikRunny, GingerBangSense, and am currently sitting on Magnolia. I like it but damn.. Gingerbread sucks. I'm gonna have to give this another shot.

I don't like Go SMS ever since it got all bloated so I'm going to have to find something else.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jpradley:
What is this patch, what does it do?

And where is it to be found?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brokenchains:
It's a wipe script by chillybean. SuperDuperWipe (Anti-Venom)

I can't get the latest update to boot. Flashed it after Anti-Venom. I tried flashing it alone, then with the Viper/Tazz kernels but nothing got me past the boot animation.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] catnapped:
No such luck...even having done that (and added SuperSU from the market), it's still insisting that root isn't there (even if you allow the permission for a particular app). The 'approval' even gets added to LBE's root permissions so something is getting in the middle of things and disallowing it anyway. Roll it back to 2.12.29 and it works again.

Re: [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 3.1.25 [28-01-2013]

Re: [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 3.1.25 [28-01-2013]

I am also having sane problem of no apps getting riot access, I enabled it in lbe guard, I also tried updating the super su binary, but it always says installation failed...

Re: [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 3.1.25 [28-01-2013]

GSM does work on the DInc2, but you will NEVER get 3G. The phone doesn't have the appropriate hardware. You can only get 2G speeds on supporting ROMs.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jayman007:
That makes no sense to me as the specs on this phone from verizon clearly states that it supports the HSDPA 900 / 2100 GSM 3G bands.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
You don't have to take my word for it. I have seen many posts showing this to be true and none (so far) showing someone successfully achieved 3g speeds on a gsm network.

Please share if you see some evidence (or have some) of success! I would LOVE for it to work., I just don't believe it is possible after all the evidence against it I have seen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jayman007:
Re: [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 3.1.25 [28-01-2013]

The phone is on the way to me out in Thailand. I will be using it only on gsm networks. If I can confirm the 3g to work I will certainly post it.

At this point ask I can do is read what is stated. I have seen many reports of data working on gsm but never any accounts of the speed.

Perhaps a thread should be started just on data speeds obtained using inc2 on gsm.

No dude...3G works fine on GSM for this ROM atleast for me here in India!!!

Look the screenshot...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
This is great news! I can't believe i have been so mislead / ignorant for so long!

I've been hoping to leave Verizon for a long time, and this has opened up some doors for me. Thank you!

EDIT:

I can't move forward until I see a U.S. user with success. Looking back, the U.S. users are the ones finding difficulty getting past 2g. Not sure why...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jayman007:
Thank you for that confirmation. I was looking for just that. Is your phone the verizon model? And what radio are you flashed with? My phone should be here in the next week or so and I'm excited to get it all running out here for the wife.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I'm jealous that you are in the land of smiles.

Spent a few weeks in Bankok, Chiang Mai, Pai (near the border), Ko Pha ngan, and a few in between.

I've been many places, and if there is one people I miss, it is the Thai.

I hope you are enoying yourself, and the DInc2 works out well for you.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jayman007:
Thanks and I will certainly report back with my experience getting it up and running. It sounds like this ROM is a good place to start.

Re: [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 3.1.25 [28-01-2013]

I'm running the version, CDMA. WiFi won't connect. Anyone else?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] catnapped:
That was another problem for me...only manual config would connect (DHCP would just keep trying to get an IP address and failing).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khamsakamal48:
I honestly didn't checked wi-fi...but I am sure that casseer15 fixed it way back along with those video glitches in the fix he provided in the development section!!

Re: [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 3.1.25 [28-01-2013]

3g does not and will not ever work on u.s. GSM. the radio does not pick up the band that it is on, which is different than other countries GSM band. thats why its a world phone and even includes gsm. here in the states its meant to run on the verizon cdma band, other countries dont really have cdma so they made it gsm compatible for them, not here.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jayman007:
Doesn't ATT use the 900Mhz band for 3G as well? Seems it would work on ATT just not Tmobile in the US. Of course, I have not tried as I'm not in the US.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Re: [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 3.1.25 [28-01-2013]

Pretty sure it is not going to work for 3g in the US. Not sure why, but in the almost two years I have had this phone I have not seen one successful US gsm 3g user, and I have seen many try. *sad face
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
Re: [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 3.1.25 [28-01-2013]

let me repeat myself, it wont work in us, 3g GSM here uses a band not supported by our phone, it can only pick up edge...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Re: [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 3.1.25 [28-01-2013]

Just trying to figure out specifics here, aren't the bands the same? How does our phone know the difference between US gsm and global/foreign gsm?

If they aren't the same bands, then what are US vs European gsm bands?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jayman007:
I just did some searching and I was incorrect in my earlier statement that ATT uses 900Mhz for 3G. They in fact use 850Mhz and 1900Mhz for 3G.

The inc2 from verizon can use 3G on

CDMA2000 1xEV-DO

HSDPA 900Mhz / 2100Mhz

In Thailand, my carrier uses 900Mhz for 3G while yet other carriers in the country use 850Mhz and even others are starting to roll out 2100Mhz..

So I would expect that on my carrier I should be able to use 3G with this phone but for certain the phone does not use the bands required for 3G on ATT and even on T-mobile (1700Mhz).

I'm not sure what other GSM carriers in the US have 3G and on what bands they use.

Re: [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 3.1.25 [28-01-2013]

thank you for saving me all that typing, though my simple "it will never work" was correct and all that was need to know...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jayman007:
Certainly unless you have some sort of psychic powers then I'm not sure how your statement "it will never work" could possibly be accurate. Also, for those of us not in the US, it WILL and DOES work. So rather than making blanket statements that help no one, how about making accurate statements that everyone can learn and benefit from.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
This is an excellent example of rude, unhelpful, arrogance.

Just because you don't care how things work or why, doesn't mean the rest of us accept things just because someone says it is so.

Thank you Jayman007 for your help. Just what I was wondering.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
Re: [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 3.1.25 [28-01-2013]

read my post. it says in the us. not other countries, and why would you need psychic powers? how hard is it to understand a simple statement like it wont work? my 3 year old understands that, but...

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

i was helpful, i stated it doesnt pick up the correct band for us gsm, accept it or not, that's how it is, yes radio is just that, it does not "know the difference" between anything, it is designed to pick up certain frequencies, like any radio, a cordless home phone does not pick up every frequency known to man then "decide" which one to use, it is designed to only pick up certain frequencies like any thing, including our phone, accept it, don't, who cares, it is what it is...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jayman007:
Read my post.. I never said I wanted to use it in the US. I specifically said I would use it overseas. Also, another user wanted specifics and why it doesn't work in the US. If you want to act like an authoritative asshole, go speak with your 3 year old. Some of us are here to learn and share.

Re: [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 3.1.25 [28-01-2013]

Can anyone confirm this works?

I tried 4 different version gsm and cdma and their root fixed version but most of the tries ended with white htc boot screens and one or two of them ended with forced closes ( i've never seen desktop).

I'm currently running 2.12.29 and I had no problem flashing it. I used the Anti-venom wipe, no issues what so ever and the ROM is running perfectly.

Which one is the 2.12.29? Current releases are all 3.1.25 (GSM and CDMA versions). Can you add a link for it?

What is a Vivo ROM doing in this Vivow Forum??
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:

2.12.29 was the version posted here before 3.1.25. Here are the links:

2.12.29 CDMA

2.12.29 GSM

They say vivo as well.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kienluax1:
For Vivo

I don't understand, why ROM's name write Vivo, What different between theirs?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jayman007:
Vivo is for the Incredible S and Vivo W is for the Incredible 2. Different phones and they take different roms. They are not directly interchangeable but can be ported as has been down many times already.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khamsakamal48:
Updated the OP with the correct (vivow) ROMS!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] murat408:
Finally, i flashed the 2.12.29 and upgrade it with 3.1.25 and it booted correctly. Who is having problems that should flash firstly the 2.12.29 and then 3.1.25.

Thanks Kamal :) :D

But, i have a problem with "email app". I flashed the language pack and i select Turkish, everything is OK without the email app. In email app, in some of the emails i see symbols instead of special characters of Turkish letters like "ç , ş , ü , ğ , ö". I tried to find a setting about it but nothing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jpradley:
Well, I tried again-- Chillybean's wipe, 4ext's wipe everything, and I've now been staring for 20 minutes at a white screen with "HTC quietly brilliant".

Did you try the 2.12.29 first?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
The 2.12.29 still says vivo for both, though one says CDMA. Just an FYI.

Is the rebased one good, or which are you recommending?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] reposedhysteria:
Re: [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 3.1.25 [28-01-2013]

Just did the same thing with success.

Tried both 2.12.29 and 3.1.25 separately from a full wipe and neither would boot. So, I flashed 2.12.21, booted, then wiped just the caches and flashed 3.1.25. That's what did it.

Edit: Also, sorry for the separate posts, I was going to combine them and remove one but I guess I can't.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khamsakamal48:
UPDATE MIUI4 v3.2.1!!!!!!

So, here is the most recent update:

GSM / CDMA

I have also updated the OP with new flashing instructions....Hope that it help some1!!!!!

& yeah...add-on's like Language Pack, Control Panel suite can be of vivo & you can flash them without worries!!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] flyinjoe13:
I just can't get this ROM to install no matter what I do. If I use the most recent version, it hangs at the HTC screen. If I try to install one of the older versions first, it either hangs at the instaling update section in recovery or if the older version actually does install, when I flash the update over top of it, I get errors once the phone reboots. I.E., keyboard stops responding, home stop responding, etc. Guess i'll just stick with the Gingerbread version i've been using.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] murat408:
You are right, i have the same issue. Try the 3.1.25 version flashed to top of the older (2.12.29) one. I managed to boot like that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Shawno7:
I thought 2.12.29 was vivo. Maybe try to flash an older VivoW like 2.12.21 and see if that does the trick.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
According to the flash instructions on one of the MIUI sites, you need to do a clean install after wiping all ( I used the Antivenom.zip and formatted all with 4ext) THEN wipe dalvik and cache and fix permissions, then boot. let it settle.

Worked well for me just now with the 2.12.29 "vivo" CDMA (I'm on Verizon in US). Will update after setting up and getting a good NAND.
