Can i get a link? or a mirror the server is hella slow and i need to fix the phone fast

The only place i know off the top of my head to get the firware is sammobile.com there are other sites if you search on google. I do have that file to host but its not uploaded yet and im out of town until thurs. Sammobile only takes about 40min to DL that from though.

Its a false find by your anti-virus, it will do that with any type of keygen, hacking program, or anything related to modifying something that you arent suppose to be able to do. Those files are perfectly safe to use, I have used them myself to root my own phone. @bluebellmaniac

On another note, anyone get wifi tether figured out? Also, what up with these people saying to message them for info on something we could all use, just post what you know ffs!

From JT
1. Go to the app store and download 'change APN'
2. Open it and click on APN2 LTE internet
3. Scroll down to APN Type and add the text .Dun to the end so it should like this ' default,mms,Dun' without the quotes of course.
4. Then click on the top three dots in the to right corner and click save. Then reboot your phone. Now you should be able to use the stock WiFi tether by going to settings 'Hotspot and Tethering' and turning it on.

I found a way to get stock recovery fixed without losing root or your personal files. This also updates the firmware without losing apps/root/anything. YOU MUST BE ROOTED!
1. Go here and sign up for the the beta (You just have to click a button)
2. Download it from google play.
3. Go here and find your latest firmware and carrier. SPR is sprint, BST is boost mobile, and VMU is probably virgin mobile. XAS is a carrier but I have no idea which; Google yields no results.
4. Click download, and you will have to sign up for the website. Its free and the 15 kb/s download is a lie unless your internet is that slow ;).
5. Once you download your firmware, extract the tar.md5 file and put it somewhere you can find it on the device.
6. Open FlashFire and read the warnings carefully. If you follow my directions, you should be fine, but if anything happens to your device it is not my fault. You chose to follow this tutorial.
7. Allow root access and select actions. Press "+" and select "Flash Firmware Package". Select the tar.md5 from earlier.
8. The app will read the file. After its done make sure system, recovery, boot, and cache is checked.
9. Scroll down and press "Flash"
10. The screen will go black, just wait for a few seconds and a bunch of code will run scroll across the screen. Then, it will show the install of the system,recovery, etc. and when its done FlashFire will also install su. When its done the device will reboot.
11. The phone will optimize applications and when its done, all of the things you had before is still there, except the firmware is updated and the recovery is fixed!

The only thing that might change for Boost Mobile users is that Boost will install a bunch of apps and change the homescreen. All the apps can be deleted and the homescreen can be changed though.

PS: In the process of doing this I killed the original recovery bootloader, so a clean dump so Icould reflash with Odin would be awesome, if this works for you.

Tell me how to dump it and I'll get it for you.
