Root [Virgin Mobile] How screwed am I?

voicemail seems to be back up at least so it's not as pressing as it was. I finally got the update to install, and I figured out how to stop the OTA update nag, with root explorer and Titanium Backup which I'll do later when I see the nag again. I can cope with no MMS and 4G (which is super bad in my area anyways, I had it on 3G to start with) for now without any nags and working voicemail. I'll try flashing myself when I'm able to with Odin and feel up to it.

Good deal! I am sure I speak for all the users of this forum when I say our thoughts and prayers will be with you. And when you're ready, we will be ready, too, in order to help you get the most out of your device. We were all rookies at some point!
 
Apparently the method to get rid of the OTA update isn't working. The file folder the OTA update is supposed to be is empty, but I'm still getting nags. I'm about ready to tear my hair out. is there any other way to do it? I really so badly want to flash the recommended stock, but I just want the nag to go away. I originally rooted for that reason which defeated the point, cost me MMS, and money.
 
I was getting the update message to I downloaded root explore and deleted the update the file was located in system cache folder
 
It should be in system/cache folder that's where I found it using root browser u see the folder that says cache in that folder its like 422 mb

it;s a sprint rom on a VM phone. The guy who flashed my phone put it on and I asked him to put a virgin one on but he didn't do it. I plan on fixing it and putting jdsingle's rom on provided I get talked step by step through flashing once I am able to use Odin. So deleting that zip and clicking install will get rid of the popup then?
 
That's good so after you delete the mk3 update let it try and do the install then cancel it out and reboot ur phone
