Root [Virgin Mobile] [ROM][PORT] Carbon KK 4.4.2 (2/5/2014 version for d2vmu)

I installed this yesterday and i have gotten a few random reboots, and hanging on boot multiple times that if i hold the power until it reboots it usually will boot. For now i have gone back to my CM11 back ups

Followed the steps to the T by the way lol using phils touch recovery

Did you try wiping everything (System, data, cache, dalvik) individually before flashing?

So should I do exactly what he said and flash the ROM, then the kernel again and then the dalvik fix?

Whenever you flash an update to your existing ROM, anything included in the /system folder of the update will overwrite any tweaks you made, which would include kernel and Dalvik fix. When I dirty flash on CM11, I flash just the update, boot into system, let things settle, then boot back into recovery to flash my kernel of choice and the Dalvik fix. GApps and the APN fix should stick through dirty flashing, so no need to reflash those. Also, if you use Xposed Framework, that has to be re-enabled after an update as well.

im scared of sounding stupid by asking this but i couldnt find the answers so here it goes. does this rom have both lte and mms support at the same time or do i have to choose? also can i flash this rom (with lte & mms or at leats one) with the knox bootloader?

This ROM has both lte and working MMS, thanks to MopedRyder's fix, which is already incorporated. Also, as far as I know, it does not contain a bootloader, so it should be fine to flash with Knox. Can someone confirm that?

Ever since flashing the 2/5 Carbon rom, I get "android.process.phone has forced closed" message 2 times back to back everytime I reboot. Is a full wipe the only thing that could fix it?

I had the same problem and did a clean wipe per instructions by Struckin and haven't seen the message since.

Here's his post:
"For Carbon, do this sequence: after clean wipe (do it 2x just to be sure), flash ROM, APN fix of your choice, and GApps of your choice (P.A. 0-Day GApps most recent version is my recommendation) all in the same session, then boot into system. Make sure you backup (Nandroid) your current version of things first though, just in case."
