    Root [Virgin Mobile] New modem for better reception?

    Something I've never really understood is how modems work. I recently moved to the Boston area, and according to VM's coverage map, I should have LTE all the time. However, my phone struggles to even connect to the network. If I flash a newer/different modem, is there a possibility that I'll...

    Root [Virgin Mobile] Voicemail app?nyone

    Anyone have the VM voicemail apk? Any time I dial my number to check my voicemail, I get asked for my passcode. Problem is, I don't know it. I don't remember ever setting a voicemail code on this phone, and I never had a problem before. So, voicemail apk, please?

    Root [Virgin Mobile] MK5 modem on MG2

    Can I flash an MK5 modem on MG2? I'm on Carbon 4.3, and I'm having some trouble sending/receiving MMS. I know in the CM 10.2 thread, a lot of users reported success with the MK5 modem+Hangouts+Mopeds fix, so I'd like to do the same if possible.

    Root Time for a new phone

    Its time for me to move on. I love this phone, but my battery is shot, and the phone itself has some damage from where I've accidentally dropped it. Before I move on, I want to get some opinions on which phone I should get. I've been looking at the Optimus F3, the Galaxy Victory, and of...

    Root Best recovery?

    Hi everyone. My girlfriend finally took the plunge and got a smartphone. Now I'm trying to convince her to switch to a custom ROM, probably martinez's Super Helado. I've had several different android phones, so I'm no stranger to rooting, recoveries, ROMs and the like. But, I've never used a...
