surnia_boost_51-2-official_removed_NOT_FLASHABLE.zip


NOTE1: Your device needs to have already been updated to 51 official before using this ROM. If you have not updated to 51 official (LPI23.29-18-S.8), you should ( zips located here ). Once updated, flash this partition updater AND the rom of choice.

NOTE2:
The unmodified ROM is not rooted. To root, flash SuperSU after the ROM

NOTE3:
Your device must have a custom recovery such as TWRP to flash ROMs.

NOTE4: These zips are unsigned so you may need to disable signature verification in TWRP before flashing.

Flash in TWRP as follows:
  1. Download ROM
  2. Put the ROM.zip on your sdcard if not already
  3. Reboot to TWRP Recovery
  4. MAKE A BACKUP!!!!!!!!!!
  5. Wipe data/Factoy reset
  6. Install partition updater from sdcard (see NOTE1 above)
  7. Install ROM from sdcard
  8. Reboot
  9. Enjoy!

Thanks for all your work/help/efforts @SuperR

Just want to verify, before I go and break something
This should be okay to use on Sprint PP(1526) as well, with Ring+
bootloader unlocked, TWRP installed and correct LPI23.29-18-S.2

When flashed, my phone will look more like a boost one, on boot-up and such
unmodified has all the boost apps??? Debloated am guessing does not

It will probably work on the Sprint xt1526, but I can't make any guarantees. The unmodified rom has Boost apps, and the deodexed has most if not all of the Boost apps removed.

I have the xt1526 sprint. It doesn't cause me any issues flashing the updated partitions or any of the 5.1 ROMs. (Make sure you flash the latest ROM by super r before you do this).

Same here! All the other custom roms I have tried do not support LTE. This one does and works great on Ring+ after PRL and profile update.

I am having a tough time enabling the native hotspot on XT1526. I tried the hotspot fix, but no go. Although I could enable the hotspot and my devices can connect to it, they have no internet connectivity while Moto E itself can surf the web with no problems.

I wonder if the hotspot fix is tailor made for Boost only? Anyone here got the hotspot to work?

Hotspot works for me after flashing the fix, but I am on Boost.

Hey SuperR how have you been, long time no hear. I'm in a bit of a jam and I would like to know if you could help me out. I'm trying to capture a OTA from one of my devices but I can't get it because I don't have root, and my logcat is not showing the URL to download it. I was wondering if you could add root to my boot.img so I can gain root and pull the OTA.zip from data. I'm only asking because my devices are running marshmallow and I need a modified boot.img along with flashing SuperSU.
You can contact me on hangouts @shadie21@gmail.com
And here is a copy of my boot.img

I flashed this Rom. Was running same version as member above. It still sends a notification for the latest stagefright update and says do I want it. I just say no. Why is that if the stagefright patches are already in the ROM?
It is another update that just rolled out today.
