I couldn't agree more. Those backups come in handy. It's also really nice having Odin. I messed up several times on my Prevail where Odin saved my butt.

For the past few days I've been making a backup before flashing any mod that didn't have a zip for reversing it. Wicked Sensations has quite a few undo zips in the Kuban Updater thankfully. For those new mods that are being released in the thread itself, I've been making a backup before flashing them just in case I end up not liking it. It beats the heck out of doing a total re-install. It also gives me a safety net in case the flash goes bad. :D

I make mistakes like you made usually when I've been up for a long time and am tired. I made several a few weeks ago. Nothing near a soft brick thankfully . Just stupid stuff like getting ready to flash something new and doing a factory reset, cache and Dalvik wipe before making my backup Lmao! Yeah, I know. That's bad man. :sly:

I still couldn't find where to update prl and profile . Where in settings is it. Guess I'm straight tw

There is no profile or PRL update in CM ROM settings.

You need to do as Smith said and disable LTE. Switch it to CDMA. That should give you 3g data. Settings / More settings / Mobile networks / Network mode.

Edit: you need to have done the apn fix with the app APN BACKUP AND RESTORE also.

Just thought I'd pass the word, Samsung just released the source code for 4.3 for Sprint and VM. There wasn't a dedicated bst code for mg2 or md5, so that means it's for the Boost variant too. Already downloaded it and tinkering with getting some kernels built for us!
Sounds good, I hope it all works out.
