Droid 2 Help all in one - Droid 2 Global General

Hi guys a have a few questions i think i have found the answers to from searching but i would like to make sure. Ok so i have a current up to date droid 2 global. I need to bring it from verizon to ATT. So first i understand i need to sim unlock it. k done. Then i need to backdate it to 2.4.29? then i need to root and then apply the band unlock. Does that sound right? If any one has quick links and this sounds right please post up that would be awsome. Thanks guys.

look for droid 2 global band unlock in my list

Our skyrocket is the sgs2's bastard son so we dont have a ton of developer support yet. That being said the sgs2 does not even have an ics port. Patience sir will pay off. We will be geting ics officialy before long. But we dont even have cm support so no cm9 or cm7 anytime soon. I have high hopes we will pick up more dev support in the coming months but as for now if u want ics your going to have to port ot yourself or just wait. But i promise if someone starts working on it. It will be posted in the dev section and be a hot topic
If you want to help then go to Samsung OSRC Click on Web Mail on the upper right corner to submit the interests
email them there is an interest in developing ICS on this hardware. Without the hardware binaries from Samsung there is no way to compile working hardware with ICS.
What's crazy is I have a captivate and I can run ics on that device don't believe me, just check the cappy development page. I'm happy with this device but I knew better lmao!!!

Totally unnecessary thread. If you didn't create something, it doesn't belong in development. There's no such thing as a [REQ] thread in development. Closed.

[Q] Cyanogenmod in bootloop, clockwork mod not loading properly. please help!

So I flashed CM7 on my D2G and after the reboot I tried to boot into my clockworkmod recovery to wipe the data so the bootloop would end, but when i hold power/x I get the little android guy with the exclamation point in a triangle above him but when i press the magnifier/search button nothing happens. I know that all I need to do to make the rom work is wipe my data. so how would I go about doing that without having to reflash with sbf and everything? is there a way to fix my clockwork mod? or another way to erase my data?
First, you cannot enter CWM like that.
Power + X takes you to the stock recovery; on 4.5.x, you need to press the volume buttons together to enter it, not the hardware keyboard's Search button.

I know that this is anancient thread, but i decided to take a crack at mt D2G today and successfully rooted it and was able to get to the bootstrap recovery, but after installing the cm7 and gapps, the darn thing is just stuck at the red m screen indefinitely. I let it sit there for about 5 min, and to avoid having my battery die, i pulled it and started reading. I really dont wanna sbf it (if i really dont have to) and i need to get to clockwork recovery. Any suggestions?
you need to sbf, see how to use rsd lite in my list
official cm7 is still froyo, use the versions in my list, they work

that was my fear :/ in my impatience, i SBF'd and got it to boot back up just fine, but now im curious as to what i did wrong in my flash... im no noob, i have 7 android phones and theyre all happily rooted with a bevy of rom nands and zips at my disposal to flash whenever i want. Its not rocket science, but the bootstrap thing is just weird to me... i factory reset, wiped caches (a couple times for good measure) and then flashed the rom zip followed by gapps and there i was... stuck at that go..amned red M... what the h-e-double hockey sticks am i doing wrong here??

official cm7 is still flashed on froyo kernel, if your phone is on android 2.3.4 you can not go back to froyo kernel
which sbf did you use?
I suggest just using Pooka-CM4D2G-GB-20120519 it is newest cm7 that works on gingerbread kernel

worked like a charm!! (since we're both in south dakota) if your license plate starts with a 1, lemme know when i can buy you a beer!
only thing fishy is how verizon/motorola changed the unlock codes, so that some d2gs can not be unlocked, most still can be unlocked, there is atleast 3 different code generating algorithms, you may need to try all 3, but the 1st one works for most

no, if you want it unocked, and not using verizon, you need to buy a code
I've unlocked 3 different moto devices, but the D2G took the 3rd code
use a site that accepts paypal, and it will be as safe as it gets

all 3 of these should work, if first code does not work, only retry it 1 more time, then request a different code or a refund.
you have a limited number of tries before you get locked out, so don't waste them on a code that doesn't work

[Q] Cricket Wireless k2_plc_cl

if I was to pull my system from my Cricket phone, would we be able to get some work on the Cricket version of this phone?
I see work being done on Boost Mobile and other versions, but not much on the Cricket model.
Depends if someone has a cricket phone to run tests and debug any issues prior to release.

A hint.... Important partitions on your device are very similiar to the K2_UL variant .
Sent from my C525c using Tapatalk
I deodexed the cricket system for you guys, that you can build mods (for example in UOT Kitchen).
Some of our european mods should also work with that, but it needs someone with that phone to try (of course with a backup in his hand).
But its downloaded only 4 times (in the last 4 weeks).
Seems there is not much interest out there, sorry.
Well, throw me some links and I'll test out a few ROMs/MODs
Really looking to see this device take off...
Flash the package in post #3 first.
Then you can try things from post #1 or 2 if you want.
Also xpirt has some threads with mods for 422.
But like i said, i can't say for sure, if all will work also for cricket.
You should have a backup (and the knowledge to restore).
i am dedcated
im a k2 plc cl user and have flashed alot of roms from all links and most have been for k2 ul but also have had all different kind of problems but also alot of success so i would like to try and do anything to help
Add me to the mix. K2_PLC_CL user also. I have stock backup as well as a backup of my xposed modded ROM. I will test whatever I can to help out development for the cricket variant.
