Root [Boost Mobile] ROM's confirmed working for SPH-L710T

[cartersball]

I've seen a few people ask in the main thread for this device model which ROM's are confirmed working. As a work in progress I'd like to list them here, as well as any special flashing instructions for this model. I'll update this list as we grow, and begin to provide links to each ROM and any special instructions. Any and all help will be appreciated in gathering the links and instructions. If you have confirmed a working ROM and setup please list so I can test.

As always, please be sure to thank or donate to the ROM developers for each of these in their respective threads. Devs work for free in their own free time to bring us these goodies for the pure and simple joy of creating.

NOTE: ROM FLASHING IS DANGEROUS AND COULD POTENTIALLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF DONE INCORRECTLY. I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR DEVICE IN POSTING THESE WORKING ROMS.

To date I have confirmed working the following ROM's:

Touchwiz ROM's

Wicked S5 Xperience

Wicked X 8.0 Barebones
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2750674

Tribute ROM

To install the Touchwiz ROM's listed above follow these custom ROM flashing instructions courtesy of 6th_Hockage.

Almost any custom ND8 TW Rom will install with the Updated Kernel on the SPH-L710T...but if you have been rom hopping like yours truly you will have to:

1. Odin the Stock NF4
2. Odin PhilZ latest recovery
3. Boot into said recovery
4. Choose wipe to install new rom
5. Flash an ND8 based TW Rom
6. Flash updated Kernel
7. Flash Boost or Virgin APN Fix (if on Sprint skip this)
8. Reboot and profit

Updated Kernel For TW only

Awesome thread idea.I'm always flashing Roms seeing what works,I'll chime in if I find one that's not listed [emoji106] [emoji106]

This one works too

I'd say pretty much any of the TW will work just need to flash kernel and APN fix.

 

[cartersball]

Thanks! I'll get this added to the OP, as well as links to the kernel and APN fixes.

Speaking of the kernel, I know this fixes our rotation issue but I still seen to have rotation issues with videos in landscape mode. Take YouTube for example, every time I turn the phone on it's side the video is upside down. Anyone else having this issue?

 

[pOsSuM72]

The kernel should fix that problem.

 

[cartersball]

I thought so too, but the kernel is installed and I still have the issue. Hmmmm.

Did you flash this one?

[pOsSuM72]

This one works too but you'll need to use adaptive rotation apk for a rotation fix when needed. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/83732/cm-11-20140916-SNAPSHOT-M10-d2lte.zip

So should i wait for a sprint apn fix or something like that before i try any of these? Anyway though i appreciate you posting for this model.

Yep that's the kernel I'm using. Must have been a bad flash because I've flashed it again and the issue had been resolved

You shouldn't need an APN fix for Sprint that I know of.

Apparently users of the Sprint variant of this phone require a fix cause they only get 3g max on any ND8 rom/AOSP rom i have supplied a fix but i have no idea if it worked for the person i sent it to

 

[cartersball]

OP updated with the ktoonez kernel link and Boost APN fix link.

I think u mentioned an apn fix backing up stock and then restoring it on another rom but i could not get a backup from stock as i think the apns cannot be backed up on kitkat 4.4.x

I get "Unfortunately APNs cannot be restored or deleted on this device because Android 4.0+ does not allow 3rd party apps to Write APN settings." with the app u mentioned :/ any other way to get the apns?

 

[pOsSuM72]

This ROM works as well if you like MIUI you'll need to flash gapps and APN fix.Camera works but the rotation is messed up.Use adaptive rotation apk.

This pretty much works in CM11 M10, but you have to change the apn from n.ispsn to n.sprpre.ispsn to actually get LTE data.

what exactly did you do to get it to work with a rom?

 

[hollandheese]

I looked at the script more closely and it actually didn't even install the apns, just removed the telephony.db. Weird.

I made a new recovery zip that replaces the apns (with n.sprpre.ispsn), extracts them to system and deletes the telephony.db. This brought LTE right away to CM11 M10.

It worked perfectly in MIUI though too.

It allowed LiquidSmooth to connect to LTE but it didn't allow a data connection. Couldn't really check what went wrong since LiquidSmooth APN settings are just broken. I'll test again once there's a new build of LiquidSmooth.
