Root [Virgin Mobile] [MOD] Universal LTE Virgin Mobile APN Fix [WIP] CM/AOSP 4.4.x

CURRENT STATUS

***Note - your warranty is now void. If your phone dies, its on you.

This is a continued work in process. This version was built for the universal lte builds most ROM builders have moved to.

Currently we have working 4G LTE with both MMS send and receive working on CM / AOSP ROMs via Hangouts and stock MMS with mooknightus fix. This fix is to achieve 4G/LTE connections. Stock MMS requires the fix by moonknightus (Thanks to him) for the stock MMS fix.


This mod will:
1. Search and edit appropriate lines in build.prop
2. Reset the telephony databases (first boot will take a few)
3. copy + correct apns-conf file
4. Add / update the eri.xml file


Directions:
Flash ROM
Boot up first - reboot recovery
Flash Fix
It may take up to 5min to connect
profit....

Starting with 4.4.4 ROMs I found that you may need to boot first after flash, then go back into recovery and do the fix to take hold.

First boot may take a few minutes to bring up 3G/LTE symbols and get internet connection. The telephony database is being rebuilt - give it a few minutes. If you get an acore type error then try to flash ROM, boot, then flash APN fix.

So, I've been working at this for a few flash's now and I'm getting SMS, 3G, and MMS via Hangouts, but I am unable to get LTE/4G data at all. I've got a SPH-L710T, and my baseband is L710TVPU0AOF2, running Liquidsmooth Lollipop(5.1). I've tried using this flash, and a few others (one of which didn't do anything, the other put the phone into an infinite loop while booting). I've waited for about an hour each flash and still no LTE has appeared (and I'm also confident that 4GLTE is abundantly available in the area). Does anyone have any advice on this?

I think the only rom that works 100% on the triband model s3 (the one you have) is octos. They have a triband build.
octos for triband sphL710t
