Jelly Bean on Boost Force

I contacted ZTE back in May and I specifically asked about the possibility of an update to Jellybean.
This was their response:
Dear Valued ZTE Customer,

Thank you for contacting ZTE.

End-users are advised not to upgrade their phone versions until the software is released formally.

Regarding your inquiry, we would recommend that you'd better contact your network operator or dealer to consult.

Because the android updated is based on the demand of your local network operator or dealer,

Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us!

Best Regards

its mostly based on demand, we bugged the hell out of zte for the sequent stuff and they watch the forums as well. they are already among us O_O lol. but yea rbheromax is right. when i got a sequent we had a root method, that is it... no cwm, no custom roms, nothing. and i didnt know what i was doing but i was heavily motivated by the fact that i knew id end up breaking it if i didnt have a working copy of cwm. so i didnt what i had to do and got it done, and now im focusing on helping mouse do the same for the force, so hopefully you guys will at least have a good working cwm soon, if not a bootable cm. we have it at the boot animation and almost to the point of booting all the way up

it would REALLY help if they would give us some source code for the kernel though, so if someone could come up with some proper working kernel source that would be awesome

I was on the Boost Mobile website looking for a phone to purchase for my wife next month,And I was looking at the Boost Force(Thinking of getting another one,But for my wife).
And to my surprise,I saw that JB 4.1 is posted as the ROM on the Force.
See for yourself;;;

If this is the case I would make them pull it out of the box and show u the new version. These companies are notorious for printing this but the phone either will have to wait for the upgrade or it is a typo. In the event that it will come as one or the other we will have a source for the source for the Force, ha lil humor for the day! ;)

My post on Boost Mobile FB:
I was on the Boost Mobile website yesterday and I noticed that the Boost Force now has Android 4.1(Jelly Bean).
Is this true or a typo?
Because if it does come with Android 4.1,Then where is the update release for us that have a Boost Force now.
And if it is a typo,Then Boost Mobile needs to fix the Boost Force add.

Me: I know this.

Someone on FB said:
They released on August 15 so you should be getting it soon.

Me: Cool,Thanks.
