Are you wiping system before installing the ROM?

No. I think it may have something to do with my build.prop. Can you post the vanilla one?

I don't have the clean one. Did you ever edit the build.prop? Ever? I would suggest you restore via unbrick tool and try again, it should work then cause you'll have pure stock build.prop

Yes, I did edit it with Xposed modules. The LG flash/unbrick tools doesn't work for me. It doesn't play kindly with Linux. (Wine)

what I did was add this line to my build.prop:
ro.product.model=LG-LG870

if not, add this line:

ro.product.name=fx1s_spr_us

I've attached a screenshot of my build.prop as well, for reference
you might have to change the "spr" in the second line to "usc" like the log says

Success! Turns out it failed the device check. Chev, add this in the OP for CSpire users

Now 3g/4g isn't working. I checked the OP, but I don't have a "System Updates" subsection. I have calling/SMS service though. Any fixes?

dial ##72786# in your dialer and let it do its thing

dial ##72786# in your dialer and let it do its thing

What is it supposed to do?

 

[Bhamilton0347]

I want to try this ROM out but, before I do, I need to know if I can restore a stock ROM nandroid backup. I had a Samsung Epic 4G SPH-D700 & you could only restore custom ROMs or a modded stock ROM from a nandroid backup. Does the same apply for the LG US870? I don't mind having to re-setup my phone but, I'd like to know if it's something that can be avoided first.

Yes, you can restore NANDroid backups from different ROMs. I did it with stock and Simplicity ☺

It doesn't do anything, just clears the number.

Hey bud I'm having trouble downloading the boost simplicity. It gets to the end of the 1.1gb then fails. I'm definitely exited to give this a try. This will be first time I managed to get a custom rom on any phone. I already have super user & cwm functioning which by itself is an achievement if you have my skill set with phones. FYI. I tried 4 or 5 times to dwnld to no avail. Thanks in advance, Matt

 

[Osumw]

Hey there thanks for your work can't wait to try it out. I am new to forum to I already sent a reply but I don't think it was to you. I am getting the download fails when I get to end of simplicity for boost 1.1gb download. Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks for the help,

9th try was the charm it was successful . Thanks

Chev, I have no way to update my PRL in Simplicity. I have tried dialing *228 and ##72786# and neither work, though *228 does bring up a screen saying "Activating phone....". USC user BTW. I was wondering if you could write an app or something specifically for this?


P.s. I almost forgot to tell you there is no "Update PRL" option anywhere in my settings. Xoxo, Bhamilton0347

You're using the USC zip right? And not bst? If so, I have no idea on how to fix that. Have you tried wiping data?

Yes, I'm using the USC. I tried wiping data, cache, dalvik cache, everything. It may have something to do with my specific carrier. I'm gonna try to flash the boost version this weekend when I have time.

You bought the phone from them? They have their own variant or?

I have the AS780, not the US780. I just assumed they were the same. It is the version used by Altel. Can you make a version for this phone? I love Simplicity, and I could probably find a way to donate if you did.
