Working On A Guide For Flashing Incredible 2 Over To Straight Talk

sapplegater · Dec 11, 2011

Hey Guys,
I'm currently working on a guide for flashing a Incredible 2 to Straight Talk Service. I've hit a huge snag though. If anyone with experience with CDMA Workshop can PM it'd be greatly appreciated. When I get the phone completely flashed over I'll happily help anyone else flash their phone over

I don't see paying 50 - 100 dollars for someone to flash it when I can figure it out and use the flashing cost to pay for service

Sorry I did not realize i had a reply to this posting. Well I know how to flash the straight talk prl to the phone and etc... I just can not get Incredible 2 to be recognized by CDMA workshop which is a major part of getting this phone running on Straight Talk, since straight talk doesn't allow phones other than their phone on the network.

Yeah, Ik the feeling bud I've been trying to get my phone running on Straight Talk for ages, as soon as I figure it out I'll help ya out!

Wish I could help because I'd like to do this as well. Hope you get the help you need.

sapplegater · Jan 18, 2012

I hope so too... cause the only other option for me in the area if i want to use my Incredible 2 is cricket and the service, stinks around here.

joarce · Jan 18, 2012

I hear you. The least expensive, seemingly reliable, option I have found is $50.

sapplegater · Jan 18, 2012

Yeah, and at least with straight talk its on verizon so we know it'll be reliable, it unlimited everything and we get verizon data speeds all at 45/month which is a lot better than the 103/month i was paying on verizon for 450 minute, unlimited txt, and unlimited data.

joarce · Jan 19, 2012

From what I gather reading about it, ST unlimited data on the $45 plan is actually capped at ~2GB.

An alternative on the Verizon network is PagePlus who announced they are upping the data on the $55 plan to 1GB beginning this month (was scheduled for the 18th but may have been pushed back to the 25th).

Edited to change the PP plan from $40 to $55/mo. Apologies.

sapplegater · Jan 19, 2012

Yeah even with it being capped off its still the best choice for the price, and even throttled speeds aren't to bad on ST.

I can probably help you guys out if you are still interested. I do not have the incredible 2, but I have done this with another android phone.

Sometimes it takes 72 hours to get 3G, IME. Are you using a 3G capable donor phone? If so and you wait that long and still don't have it, call ST support and tell them you aren't getting 3G speeds, without mentioning the swap of course...

I'd hate to revive a month old thread but I did come across this guide for flashing it for Cricket. If someone could adapt it for StraightTalk that would be awesome!

I'm getting about sick of the Verizon service in my area. I'm about to can my contract for good, but I like my DInc2 a lot. I'm running cm9 4.0.4 and its truly incredible now. Does anyone know if the straight talk sim cards will work with the GSM radio in thus phone on any rom?
I'm tempted to get one to try buy I just wonder if someone already has...

avishayftl · May 8, 2012

it will work just fine for text and talk but the internet will be slow because the phone get only 2G Edge so that's the only problem if u don't care about the speed it will be fine for u

titanguy7 · May 15, 2012

I have the Droid Incredible 2 Global on the Straight talk Network through the Sim Card.

The only problem is I can only get Edge network. Any ideas on how to get the 3G?
