Is it possible to unlock the Droid Incredible 2 for T-Mobile? Or does that depend on the ROM? Cause MIUI doesn't give the option to pick a carrier, but other ROMS do.
Should I just try a different ROM?
Yes , Call Verizon for Sim Unlock Code , any Sim Card will be accepted
to get GSM working , the Rom should support GSM Mode
For Sense Roms Only Stock Rom or Rooted Roms Based on Original Rom will support GSM Mode , [ like rmk , and also VU 2.39 can be used with GSM Patch ( i didn't test VU) , ..etc ] , this means that there is a menu inside Settings\wireless networks\Mobile networks for choosing Operator and APN
Specifically for t-mobile , i am not in US , i don't know if Stock Rom by Verizon has restrictions on use with t-mobile , But i guess Rooted Roms should not , some who use other carriers also install PRL ( Roaming list ) suitable for the new carrier , you should check with someone live in us

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Try SkyRaider Zeus 1.3 Inc2. It has a mix of Sense 2.1 and 3.0 features. I have been running it for a couple of weeks with no issues. You will have to go to their forum to download it. Google teambamf..

Rom with no Bugs
rmk sense r1 is a rooted original firmware ( No Bugs at all ) ,
also it is debloated from all unnecessary bloatware and verizon stuff also as i remember ,
there is a patch includes all removed software if you need it back to the rom .
Also it can be patched with sense 3 patch . this is your best choice if you don't want to follow developers fixing bugs and patches every day
gingerbread 3.3.5 and 3.5
i assume 3.5 you mean Sense 3.5
there is one Rom only Sense 3.5 with GSM support and it has Bugs ( empty strings ) , and the developer move to a new Base , means that Rom's bug will not be fixed
any updates on this?
I have not tested it personally, but GSM should work on CyanogenMod.
I have personally tested GSM in CM7 7.1.0.1 and it does work just fine

Yes, I assume you should be fine to flash CM7 in Europe and have everything work fine. I am in the US on T-Mobile and it works.

Also you may not be able to access ##Phone codes EPST and such.
So if you need to manually enter some data provisioning settings you might want to keep a stock based ROM somewhere on your SD card like one of the others mentioned.
There is nothing like stepping off the plane and having to call the carrier only to hear "OK, lets dial ##778# + send" and with no data, access you have to run to an inet cafe or find a WiFi signal to download a ROM with that capability.
andybones has a real clean ROM.

There is people on AT&T forum that have been using T-Mobile and International roms on their devices with just few mods here and there. I am wondering if this is possible in our devices, anybody know or had tried??
Anyways, check out this link below...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001867 [Q]%20T-Mobile%20Roms%20or%20International%20Roms
they are on GSM networks, we are on CDMA. it can be done but there are some major differences in some system files and libs because of this. the mount points in the installer scripts would have to be changed as well.
they can swap between, att, tmobile and international versions because they are all GSM networks. should be fairly simple to port over a Verizon GN2 ROM though.

Indeed. I'm a U.S. Cellular user (CDMA) and I'm using your ROMs on my phone. With a few simple mods it works great. When it comes to their ROMs if you flash your kernel (boot.img) over the ROM after installing it will boot up. Stock touchwiz ROMs only of course. You won't have service until you modify some things Get in there and play around. Maybe you can make it work

Hi,
I have SIM unlocked, rooted Tmobile's samsung Galaxy SIII (SGH-T999); put AT&T SIM card and it is working fine. As a fundamental question on loading custom ROMs, should I be picking ROMs from AT&T forum in XDA or Tmobile in XDA??? So far I have been using Avatar/Liquid Smooth ROM built for Tmobile....still it doesnt make sense to me as i am currently on AT&T....I dont want to brick my phone by doing something wrong.
Can someone reply?
Thanks
Mahesh
BTW - ignore my signature....i am unable to edit them - dont know why - there is no option to edit signature!

You should flash rom's specific to your phones hardware/model number. It seems to me *most* of the hardware is the same between the i747 and t999 from what i've read but always best to err on the side of caution.

by doing that, in my case, would my ROM be optimized for AT&T??

Most likely, but tread with caution. The only issue you might encounter are APN settings that you could always edit manually. From what I understand, the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 is almost identical to the AT&T one, and in certain cases, some people have been able to run T-Mobile roms on the AT&T one.

The only thing that is carrier specific as far as custom ROM's are concerned is the ability to connect to the network in question, its the hardware the ROM is designed for that is important, minus any carrier bloat apps that may be included in a ROM (non issue if using an AOSP based ROM). Flashing software to an unintended device will most likely be bad news. As drx said worst case you would have to manually enter the apn settings. If i recall the only real difference in the TMo and ATT S3's is the fact that the T999 can connect to the 1700mhz band and the i737 can't (natively).
I have the Sprint, LG G2, and am travelling to Canada and going to be purchasing a prepaid sim for when I am there. I am using the CloudyFlex rom, and am wondering, if I request the unlock online, will it screw anything up and will it work?
I doubt the unlock is going to work if you are not on a Sprint stock based Rom. The same way that updating your PRL and Profile doesn't work when on AOSP based Rom's.
I Have successfully unlocked my t mobile edge+ for any GSM carrier. My questions is now that i have no restraints (Rooted/Unlocked) can i use any rom now. I know the CDMA versions verizon/sprint are off limit but other GSM versions? Or am I still burdened by the G928T model forever??
I have an ATT Edge+ that I use with T-mobile without wifi calling, looking for the same answer but apparently are some hardware differences that won't let you use ROMs from other versions of the phone.
You can use the international roms for the edge + just make sure when you click on them look for the rom that's compatible with the T model, you could also use the T mobile note 5 too

Umm you didnt need to do the carrier unlock to flash any "GSM ROM," only an unlocked bootloader was needed...
I am interested in knowing, which of these "GSM ROMs" were you looking forward to flashing, now that you're no longer hitched?
