Rooted Incredible 2 SMS problems - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Hello everyone, I rooted my Incredible 2 last night, and since then I've been trying custom ROMs. I'm currently on MIUI 1.8.19, and I'm having a bit of a problem with SMS messages.
When I send a message from MIUI's Messaging app, the phone will tell me the message was sent, but it isn't actually sent(I tested it using my brother's phone). The phone will not recieve SMS messages either, and this seems to be the case with both of the other ROMs I have tried(CM7 Nightly 46, and OMFGB 1.3)
Any clue what's going on?

Try flashing back to your nand of stock (you made one, right?) Does sms work now? If so, download apn backup and restore from the market and use it to back up your apn to your SD card. After going back to your custom ROM try restoring those apns.
Or maybe try *228 first...

2.2 OTA .6 wont send MMS messages

I have used both the stock kernel and netarchys 3.7.7c and 3.7.8 Does it matter if im using HandCent? Any suggestions to getting MMS to send or anyone with these problems also?

did you restore your back up with titanium back up? I have heard of people ahving issues with MMS after switching from 2.1 to 2.2 and then doing a full titanuim back upr restore.
I personally have avoided this so by by selecting restore all but then going down the lsit and unchecking 2.1 specific settings/apps (it gtalk_update 2.1 checkin_service2.1 etc etc)
if this sounds like your problem i would reflasha nd restore trying the method above. then reboot phone once and try
I didnt restore anything with titanium. I just downloaded everything off the market again. Any ideas? It says its sending and just goes on enlesly
EDIT: i had installed handcent and deleted the stock messanger that came with the rom. That was a bad idea lol. Reinstalled stock sms/mms program and its all good now

how to get Tmobile contacts back?

Ok I rooted my phone, my next question is after I installed juggernaut all my tmobile contacts are gone. I need those back, how can I get them back?
They weren't synced to your gmail account?
since they arent showing up I assume they didnt sync...
If you've made a backup load that or load back gmail and sync..might be lost if you didn't backup or sync...
ok I am restoring my last image of the phone and going to sync my contacts then reroot and install juggernaut over again.

Most of the roms here have removed tmobil contacts backup since its not really used.

I always do a batch with Titanium Backup before changing roms. It saves all contacts, call logs, sms. I highly recommend doing that from now on.

[Q] how to retrieve sms from nandroid?

Idk if it works if your restoring SMS/MMS data from a CM10 ROM to a TW ROM and vice versa but it definitely works if your nandroid is a TW based ROM and your current ROM is also TW based

Just use SMS backup and restore to backup before switching roms. That's what I used when switching to the S3 and when flashing roms on the E4GT.

+1 on the SMS Backup/Restore, there are a few on the market...
What I do is use titanium back up to back up the data and later restore the data only, not sure if this works from TW to AOSP though...have not tried it, yet.

With Titanium, when you restore the data, does that include contacts and apps as well?

Yea but if you add contacts via your Google account you may get doubles.
Titanium Backup also has a great backup/restore option for SMS and MMS, works regardless of the ROM you are on and the ROM you are restoring to

Wasn't sure of that, reason why I didn't respond earlier. Thanks for clearing it. I usually don't flash AOSP roms...

I have just successfully extracted sms and mms from nandroid (CWM) backup.
Backed up system was CM7 and restored to CM10 on Milestone2.
I used Titanium Backup (need the pro version for 'extract from nandroid') and restored 'Phone/Messaging Storage'.

[Q] restore messages from backup.

Hey guys just had a question. I just flashed over a new rom and completely forgot to backup my texts and i had some unsaved numbers in my previous rom..my question is there anyway to go into the backup and pull out some file that has all my messages so i can restore them on my current rom?

The only way I would know how, would be to download a third-party SMS app. From there, can you do use titanium to restore it or use it's own backup and restore features through that app. After that, use that on your new ROM and those messages should come back to the stock SMS application... Maybe. I mean "maybe" to the messages going back to the stock SMS app.

Within the menu in the paid version of TitaniumBackup, not sure about free version, is a "restore from nandroid backup" feature that allows you to restore specific app data from a backup location. The app will check your backup to see what is available to restore and give you the option to select which app or data or both you wish to restore. I've used it before and it worked. Good luck

I always backup my contacts and texts in Kies, you can always just restore them back to your device even if its rooted. Just did that to mine last night. Hope this helped.

I use sms backup. It works great. You can backup to internal sd or sd card. Very simple app, but it does the job. I've never restored sms messages with Titanium Backup, just my user apps.

Cloudy Roms for LS980

Has anyone gotten any of the Cloudyfa (CloudyFlex/Pro2/Stock) roms to work for our device? It boots fine (CloudyPro II) but I can't send texts or get data. If you have, can you tell me how you did it or point me in the direction of a thread/post that has instructions?
Thanks guys!

Hey so I actually got it working, LTE, SMS/MMS, and all (CloudyPro II, that is). It was working perfectly but after restoring it (I went back to the ZVC rom for a sec to backup my text messages), I ended up constantly getting the systemui FC over and over, even after another clean flash, so I had to restore back to my ZVC backup. I'll try again tonight though. Also, the camcorder does not work for the LS980, I tried with stock app, google cam, and snapchat, but that's a known issue over in the CloudyPro II thread.
Here's what I did:
1. backup APN with APN Backup and Restore from play store (*Move to "system/priv-app" folder for it to work in kitkat*)
2. backup with Titanium Backup and do a nandroid
3. wipe system, data, dalvik and cache
4. flash CloudyPro II and select LS980 in aroma (i also kept all the bloat, i think)
5. reboot
6. install and restore APN with APN Backup and Restore (have to move to "system/priv-app"again)
7. reboot (and fix permissions if you feel like it)
8. go into mobile networks and you should have the standard options (Global, LTE/CDMA, CDMA, etc.)
9. enjoy?
Also, the usim error for text messages seems to only happen in the stock messaging app, because when I switched to hangouts for sms, they sent without a hitch.
I hope this helps!
Thanks to those who suggested APN Backup and Restore!
Hi, i successfully flashed a debloted tmo stock 4.4.2 on my ls980. I will pm you if helps.

What I find works is to start on rooted stock, download APN Backup and Restore, backup APNs, flash the rom you want to use, then install APN Backup and Restore and /system/app Mover from the play store using Wifi, use /system/app Mover to make APN Backup and Restore a system app, reboot, open APN Backup and Restore, hit menu and select "Disable ICS Check" then restore the APNs you backed up from stock.
Reboot, and enjoy working data, MMS and SMS.
Did that actually work on those 2 types?
I know I put Sprint apn's on cloudy flex but it didn't help

if anyone can get data on working on cloudy roms, pls post up.... really wanna give pro II a shot, but obviously need data working.
I'm going to try some odds and ends to see if I can figure something out. No promises as I'm no where near a developer. But willing to tinker

What are cloudy ROMS? From reading this thread we can flash roms from other carrier roms???

Cloudy Roms are stock based custom ROM's. We can flash if you have recovery other Roms that are KitKat base that will work on ls980.
There aren't many. And yet I remember someone showing a way how to manipulate a different ROM to possibly work.
Right now they work voice just not data. And no, APN is not the main problem.

I'm currently using cloudypro with data, voice and SMS/MMS. I did the APN backup and restored and rebooted.

I'll try cloudy pro, maybe something different between the two.
But tried the APN backup restore on cloudy flex.

i got tried it out today. it works i used auto-rec to put it on my phone. just like the op says u have to have a apn back up and system/app mover to make the apn back up app, a system app if that makes sense. back up your apns, your phone through twrp(thats what i used) and the flash the rom. then download apn back up again with system app mover, make apn back up app, a system app and restore your APN's.
tried using the APN Backup and Restore and keep getting an error message that says Android 4.0+ does not allow 3rd party apps to Write APN settings??
nevermind.... read how to make it a system app and disable ICS check

Let me know how it goes. Camera works but the video recorder doesn't. it tells me com.android.systemui failed force close...let me know if this does the same for you please
Hey peeps, I updated the OP (is that what people usually do in these situations? idk) with what I did to get CloudyPro II working. Hopefully the camcorder and knock code will get fixed soon. Besides those things, the rom actually runs pretty well :yay:
I found a thread on building ROMs and getting stuff together to see if I can't get cloudy flex working. I really liked it.

Yea, I ran 2.4 for the past few days....Sms over hangouts is fine, but I have been obsessed ever since I realized that the stock app had a notification bubble from the drop down...
The Pro port doesn't have what I like, plus it is more buggy than Flex...imho
Flex has features...plus the lock screen is fresh! Let's pull our heads together and figure this out around the apn trick because from my experience as far as Flex is concerned that is not needed...
NFC is not working cursed by NXP chip
But evrythink else is working good :good:
