Root [Boost Mobile] [ROM] Windows Phone 7 ROM 4.2.3 {Updated 1/22/13}

Hello,
I went back to WP7.romVer2.0, because some issues on 2.2.0, sometimes TB report no root access, even after su binary and busybox updates, Google Play report updates for 2 detached apps. I made a factory wipe, cache, dalvik, wipe all, then installed 2.2.0 again, but had same issues, so restored my nandroid of 2.0.
I din't find any issues on 2.0, even when author post 2.2.0 fixes some ones.
My phone is working very well, no FCs, all stable, so no idea about 2.2.0 issues.
Thanks

Try re-downloading Ver 2.2.0 and flash the zip then go to the advance menu of cwm and select fix permissions reboot test. Nothing was changed other than adding a couple apps

Doesn't matter if they are not compatible the flashable.zip replaces the entire system, i probably screwed up with the theme i'll check it out.

It isnt compatible because of my extended power menu, it doesnt seem to replace the framework and if you try to shut down the phone it crashes and reboots instead of the power menu showing up

It didnt for me, phone would crash and reboot if i tried to shutdown

I dont think cwm was the problem, i ran into that issue while me and my friend started to work on the extened power menu options for the $hevron ROM anbd after numerous attemps we finally got it but i do remember when we once attempted it the phone crash and then fast reboot. Cwm flashes it correctly but i think you might have messed up something while doing the options like me and my friend did, but you got it now right?

My power menu options have always worked right, it only took me one try. Im not sure what happened just wanted to post and let you know could have been something on my end
