A Few Notes Before I Begin:
This also serves as a general fix your phone thread

Hey I'm Nathan. Last night at midnight I was bored so I did some tweaking and ended up messing up the boot stuff then I deleted system and none of the "stock" virgin mobile backups would work and no roms would fix my problem. I have a solution that fixes everything including sound and 3g/cdma. Anyways I've decided to share it with the forums. My instructions are below,
Everything on this rom works including Sound, 3G/4G, and MMS. The 3 major issues when your restoring your phone. I can assure you that it will work I tested it and ssjChris tested it.
This is stock but but with swype added as a system app and other minor tweaks I think. I am not sure how the staging of creating this backup went.
If you do not have Windows this archive will open in 7zip perfectly you will just need to install 7zip and open the .exe file in 7zip as an archive. It works and was created as an SFX archive with ultra compression.
I would like to personally thank alexacuna for the attempted help and by doing so giving me the ideas which helped to get this thing working
I would also like to personally thank ssjChris for testing this and giving me feedback while I was in an area with no cellphone service
I would also like to tell you the file I found and got working in TWRP somehow.
I did some modification to make a bootup straight away where it will just load as a factory reset Virgin Mobile Android but has DATA partation.
I've removed the MirrorUpload and Google Drive Links as I recently created nsuchy.net which is powered by Google Sites/Google Drive through my Google Apps Business Account. I figure it'll be a lot faster to put the big file in one easy to find place and Google Apps Business is a lot faster than 10 free file hosts. But if you honestly want to download through MirrorUpload then here is the link
If the above download links are failing (IE: The Google/Gmail Crash of 2014) then click here to download from my web server

I have a solution that fixes everything including sound and 3g/cdma. Anyways I've decided to share it with the forums. My instructions are below,
- Download the 7z Archive from nsuchy.net.
- Delete the TWRP folder from the external sd-card.
- Create a backup of cache with TWRP (external storage).
- Delete the backup of Cache with TWRP, Yes you really needed to make the backup then remove it.
- Open your sdcard and open TWRP. You will see folder called backups. Now there will be a randomly named folder. Open it and keep opening the randomly named folders until you see no deeper. (Note: It needs to be TWRP/BACKUPS/my serial number/1969-etc/extra the files here)
- Extract the file at this location.
- Recover/DeBrick Your Smartphone Finally
