Root [Boost Mobile] Working ROMS/MODS/KERNELS/MODEMS/ECT for the Boost S3

it was for a different phone of mine when rooting it. Instructions it required to be in fastboot and it had to be unlocked through moto site and for the first time, it told me I needed that driver but i figured it out it was the wrong adb driver it wouldn't let me unlock the phone with out the right driver. Means that it seems as if i get more assistance here

Does anyone know what the latest TWRP for the Sph l710 not the t model is? I see the spr for sprint but not d2lte. On boost, I used Twrp on the prevail and this s3 about a year ago but was thinking about trying again. Had no problems with the old Twrp when using it.
Sorry brutha I'am just now seeing your message on here I could have helped you on this topic.
to my knowledge they didn't make any for d2lte Im guessing could be used as sprint, virgin mobile, boostmobile, as to d2spr is just sprint but also can be used on boostmobile phone.
the newest one I was able to find was
TWRP 2.8 - Samsung Galaxy S3 (Sprint) page

Hello guys and gals. I just wanted to let everyone know that bilgerryan has released a Barebones version of his Wicked S5 Xperience ROM. He's removed approximately 100mbs from the full build. I've been running it since it's release and it's running GREAT! Battery life is great and for some reason both the full build and Barebones have better signal strength than other ROMs too. If you want to try a great ROM then give the Wicked S5 Xperience Barebones build a try. If you want all the bells and whistles, give the full build a try. Both are excellent.

Here's a link to the Wicked S5 Xperience Barebones build. If it doesn't take you directly to his post with the link just scroll up or down a few post and it'll be there. You can go to the OP to get the extras for the build.

No probably not, did you wipe all data on internal sd, meaning everything, songs ect? You have to when switching from lollypop to back. You need to keep backups on external, when you wipe you will loose them if on internal.

Are you doing format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)?

You know now u mention that i think i remember having to do that at one point of time. All i have is 3g . Now n then when browsing internet it says internet not available. When i tried to install bliss stalk got all the way to activation thru a telephone call something like it dialed 9922* message i hear is ur activation can not be completed at this time please try again later.


Thank you good sir i will try that.
Im still puzzled over the facts why i cant install any of my roms. Only way i was able to recover was to restore from 1 of my bkups i had saved n other bkups refuse to restore as well. Would anyone suggest i try flashing phills again ? N start from ground up. Cause it seems like something isnt right bout my phone.

You format internal SD in philz, in advanced settings. It actually says format data, data/media. You have to do that after when going from lollipop to KitKat. And after all that wiping you definitely need an APN fix. And when it says activating your phone and starts to dial, just skip that part. You don't need activation if you use an APN fix.
