Root [Virgin Mobile/Sprint] [Rom][Stock]VM Stock Roms 4.1.2

Hi xclusive36,
Just wanted to say THANKS! for pointing me to your Stock .BIN files.

I'd just about given up on it. I THOUGHT it was dead. Screen was totally black.
Only sign of life was plugging it into a PC USB port made the home button flash for second.

Then I learned it was stuck in Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode.
And thanks to your .BIN file, I was on my way...
UNbricked it. Then Flashed it!!

Now it's fully up and running again.
Thanks for all the help!!
Rob

Flashed the deodexed stock V8 using TWRP and seems to have worked fine.

Followed the instructions:
To restore 3G/4G Data
Go to Settings >
> System Updates
>> Update PRL
>> Update Profile

At this point the phone rebooted itself automatically. I wasn't expecting that, but there were no apparent issues.

I also wasn't expecting to be presented with an activation screen on first boot. But I just clicked "OK" (or whatever) and again there didn't seem to be any issues.

Thanks for providing these files.
