Default HTC Droid Incredible 2 - Verizon (UNLOCKED) - problems updating android system.

Hello everyone I bought one of these phones, I am a newbie here so any information about this problem I am having will be greatly apreciated. I am a total newbie as to the OS and the nature of android phones so please be patient with your explanations and no jargon or abrevs for now until i learn

Basically when i try to update the android system it gives me a message saying Verizon wireless unavailable and doesnt give me any other options to download or update via my current wireless connection at home.

I am currently at 2.3.4 and with to update to higher (ice cream sandwich if possible)

Please, anyone tell me what I need to do.

The seller pointed me in this direction and said I would find the answers here , something about the OS.

What do I do?

Well, you're not gonna get any updated firmware which is what requesting an update would be looking for. The reason is there hasn't been an update released yet.

But hopefully it will come soon! If you are unlocked, you should check out some other threads for almost fully functional ICS ROMs.

My Dinc2 still has it...even if it is on Gingerbread OC'd ICS Sense .

Phone: Droid Incredible 2 with Ascension Oblivion or Viperinc that is either BrYCS'd to the MAX or KaPoWed!
