Root [Virgin Mobile] [TUTORIAL] CM10.1 on VM GS3

www.shabbypenguin.com/OUDstuff/Samsung/Metro/R530M/Random/cm-10.2-20130731-UNOFFICIAL-d2spr.zip

www.shabbypenguin.com/OUDstuff/Samsung/Metro/R530M/Random/Flash-2.zip These are teh Gapps for 4.3

please flash and tell me what isnt working (besides camera) im trying to find out exactly what needs to be edited so that you guys can just flash. if you dont have 4g and you swap apn's and get it let me know, if you have to flash something else etc... let me know what zip. im here to help you guys.

Are you saying I can flash both of these with CWM recovery, and have CM10.1, or do I need to still use the kernal and root from step 3 in the guide
"g) Flash your edited MD4 Baseband/Firmware/Modem zip.
h) Flash CM10.1 zip.
i) Flash Google Apps zip.
j) Flash Root From Recovery zip."

what are boost's mcc mnc ? I used the link in this thread but lte still doesn't work

MCC=311 MNC=870 apn under both apn2 settings changed from n.ispsn to n.boost.ispsn also MMSC changed to http://mm.myboostmobile.com MMSC MCC and MMSC were changed under all 4 of the apn's. Hope this helps you. Also make sure to save each one after you finish editing. Then reboot enjoy. :D

interesting because teh stock apn's have sprint as mms/data. im wondering what is going on here that could be causing such an issue :/

damn, ok well teh one i got before didnt have those last two entries in it, and tehy look like they would be the culprit :/

i have teh cm10.2 tree synced right now, i can do 4.2 once i get this mms/4g issues worked out for virgin/boost. with 4.2 it will need to be a complete recompile and taht takes my slow computer a few hours to get it and upload, so will prolly be mid friday at teh earliest

edit # 2 www.shabbypenguin.com/OUDstuff/Samsung/Metro/R530M/Random/cm-10.2-20130801-UNOFFICIAL-d2spr.zip

could a boost user check this out please? this is what i thought would have been good apn's :p

i need to know what the 4g issue is? im assuming it means it doesnt work, does it after apn swap? or some other fix? or does it NEVER work?

edit: jupiterone that means you are using a different recovery than the sprint one

When in a 4G LTE area, the data turns off, (on LTE/CDMA/EvDo setting) y ou can switch it to just CMDA/EvDo) and 3g turns on.

i'll try it now... Still no 4G.. But it comes and goes where i live at, i can take it for a cruise tomorrow is the best i can do. MMS is a no go on VM. try the 2nd set on APNS, it should work flawless for both boost and VM. but still the 4g isssue. 4.3 seems incredibly unstable atm. Any way we could work on 4.2? or is it out of the question?

i can, its just not going to be tonight. the 2nd apn you provided wont work for boost.

www.shabbypenguin.com/OUDstuff/Sams.../cm-10.2-20130801-UNOFFICIAL-d2spr-test-2.zip

this is my final build of the night. do the usual apn tricks, virgin mobile people lemme know if this works with 4g, boost lemme know if this works at all after apn swap etc. i used teh virgin mobile libs, had a sprint user say it worked fine but never can be certain...
