Root [Boost Mobile] [MOD] Universal Boost APN fix for D2LTE builds [MOD]

I'm on vm. But I use r2. It's the same thing on both besides actual apn.
Make sure you skip activation if setup wizard asks.
Full wipe
Flash rom, gapps and apn fix
Boot up (and setup I guess) lol
Back to recovery and flash rom and gapps again (no wipe, no apn fix)
All nightly updates are normal, just use ota setting or just dirty flash nightly and wipe cache and dalvik.

Can this be undone? Same for modems? How can these be "uninstalled"? If that the verbiage? I haven't gone rooting since the transform ultra. Now I got the SPH-710 with no service. Can you still donate on this site?

Below is the work of MopedRyder, junkie2100, punkmaxx, struckn combined with a tweak to fit the new MCC MNC codes. This shows in the build.prop as 311870 under numeric. For you boost folks, it'll get you all set up. Again, this is the network boost uses for this situation. Maybe all boost phones can run it, but I can't test any. The only edits to the original file in the OP were changing the numeric MCC and MNC to 311 870, and adding hipri to the type columns. All else is identical. Still, flash at your own risk. This seems to be the most popular thread for the boost apn fix, so I figured I'd try to help out where people in my situation can find it. Calls, SMS, MMS, Internet, it all works very well for me using this with my preferred network type as Global and Auto: Domestic Roaming selected.

So I recently started running cm12.1 on my boost s5 and so far no amount of APN adjustments have helped me get mobile data except flashing this HOWEVER I'm still having some problems. About 80% of the time it still doesn't get a mobile data signal, 15% 3g, 5% LTE. When it does get 3g or LTE it will inevitably drop that signal either after a few minutes or hours or as soon as the phone connects to and disconnects from WiFi. Once that happens I can only get mobile data back by either rebooting the phone or I sometimes have to flash a nandroid made in twrp from the other day.

Any advice from the andreniusses? I would love to keep running CyanogenMod but needless to say, no data is a deal breaker. Thankies!

P.S. also half the time it tells me I haven't got authorization to see or edit APN settings. When this happens a reboot with WiFi on will usually solve it. Don't know if it's related.

This is not for the s5, that could be your problem. But I found a while back that you have to do another flash for data to work on cm12.1 on the s3.
So far everyone who's followed my directions have gotten lte, might work for you.
Full wipe
Flash rom, gapps and apn fix
Boot system (I usually do setup on WiFi here)
Boot back to recovery and dirty flash rom only (no wipe no apn fix)

I have been trying to find a solution for a few days, and finally decided to get deep into it tonight. Google searches usually sent me to this thread, but the fix posted didn't work on my phone running CM12.1. The more I looked in to it, the more I figured out about how new phones are working. My S4 sph-l720 is a Sprint branded phone running officially on the boost mobile MVNO under their new BYOB device policy. They activate phones older than 1 year with clean esn's now. Anyway, the MCC and MNC of my phone were 311 and 870 respectively. These are not the normal 310 120 numbers sprint uses, therefore this didn't work to fix the APN on my phone running cyanogenmod... nor any rom for the matter.

Edit: After thinking about that, I dug some more and saw this commit for CM12.1. http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/101325/
It appears the LTE and eHRPD networks may not need a "bearer" specified. I'm playing with that right now, but the point of this edit is because the CM team has been making changes that may effect the need for this fix to even be utilized. There was a massive apn update as well adding many MVNO providers. I've yet to find out if boost's 311870 numeric code made it in, but by the commit, I'd say it's only the sprint apn even though the boost apn should be the same. If the zip doesn't work right away, you could try deleting the "bearer in the apn-config.xml file after the two boost entries.

I have an LG G2 (version LS980) activated on the boost network that doesn't get any data after flashing a ROM and using this universal APN Fix zip file. I have a basically stock Android Marshmallow 6.0 ROM called crdroid. I get calls and texts without the apn fix, and after trying your zip fix, the network name changes from sprint to boost mobile, but I still don't get any data. Can anybody help me with this? I really hope so!

I've been using a 4.4.4. ROM (LiquidSmooth) for about a year and a half and recently decided to update to CM13, since they started releasting d2spr nightlies. I got everything installed and setup (ROM, gapps, APN fix), but LTE wouldn't work, only 3G. I just wanted to post to say that just reflashing the CM13 ROM again got it working, so thank you. Not sure why it works, but I had tried everything else I could find and nothing else helped. I'm on Virgin Mobile, so it works for that, too.
