Hi Tad, sorry it took so long to respond. First off, what firmware version are you currently on? You may be in need of an update. 4.4.4 is the latest android version.

Also, your TWRP needs to be updated to a more recent version and the root as well. They didn't make a copy of TWRP specifically for the MetroPCS s4, luckily though, our phone is identical to the T-Mobile s4, so we can flash the most recent TWRP for that phone and it works. The same goes for custom ROMs, there's not that much development for the MetroPCS s4, thankfully however the T-Mobile s4 has lots of ROM development and we can flash just about all of them.
