Solved! Must've had a bad zip or something or bad backup while restoring. Limited what I restored back into miui after a complete wipe and a redownland of the rom itself.



Hey how's it going? So I activated my Incredible 2 and I've had no problems except I cannot receive text messages. I'm running MIUI, but i've also tried hancent sms for another messaging tool, but that didn't work either.

Thing's I've tried:
Googled soultions >_>
I've cleared messaging cache and info
Wiped dalvik
Tried third party messaging programs
Hard reset
Tried the HTC hotfix patch that was released to fix this problem and no luck.

The only way I can receive text messages is by making a phone call. I usually call the verizon test number and then they start flooding in, yet I have to make the phone call every time. Any ideas?
 
Haven't tried another rom, but I am on 1.12.9. I've always been quite fond of miui and such, but I'm willing to try another rom for it to work.
 
Just thought of something if you haven't flashed something else yet. Check in settings for "auto retrieve" for messages. Make sure it is checked.
I have never used handcent with miui because I like the stock app, but I know it has that setting in it, I use it on every other ROM. I'm pretty sure miui has that setting in the ROM settings. I'd make sure at least that is checked.
 
Yup turned on =P

EDIT: I only downloaded handcent to see if that worked instead. I love the stock messaging way too much. Auto retrieve is enabled in both anyways

Another edit: I receive emails just fine I realized, not sure if this makes a difference or not.
 
Tried and no luck. I just went to the store and pandora played on the phone the entire way with no 3g problems or anything. I tried the *228 option 2 like you said and no dice sadly. Maybe I can try reinstalling the stock messenger apk? When I ran the htc hotfix thing, sorta screwed up the layout of my messenger anyways
 
So i extracted the mms.apk from miui, installed that and it said "application not installed" with a nice big green check mark haha. I just saw my phone had a voicemail which I thought was weird. Had a friend call me and it seems I can't receive phone calls either. Any more ideas? Should I just wipe dalvik, cache and format system and downgrade to another miui and install my backup?
 
Wow.
I would reflash the 1.12.9. I run that one often and have none of those problems. It is generally agreed that version is stable. You must have a bad flash or zip.
Maybe you should try re-downloading before reflashing.
 
Alright sounds, good. Thanks for the help so far, I really appreciate it. So for reflashing, I do clear cache, devik, system format? then install the .zip and restart?
 
That sounds good.
I'm using 4ext recovery and format all partitions between wipes or NAND restores. The other option I used before 4ext was flashing the SuperWipe script from themikmik forums. Since I started using the SuperWipe (and 4ext recovery after) I have had no problems going from one rom to another. I used to occasionally have issues going from MIUI to anything else.
If you're using CWM recovery, I don't remember what the options you have, but what you listed sounds good.
 
so haven't done a restore or anything. I did another *228 and did a 1 and 2 and now it works fine more or less. Now I'm going to have to pick and choose what I restore. Could've been an error with my restore I did before. Thanks for all the help I really appreciate it. Probably a bad .zip download
