NOTE: Your device needs to have already been updated to 4.4.4 before using this ROM. If you have not updated to 4.4.4 (KXB21.14-L1.57), you will need to flash this partition updater AND the rom of choice.

NOTE2: This zip is unsigned so you may need to disable signature verification in CWM before flashing.

NOTE3: Your device must have CWM/custom recovery to flash ROMs.

Flash in CWM as follows:
  1. Download ROM
  2. Put the ROM on your internal sdcard or flash drive if you have an OTG cable
  3. Reboot to CWM Recovery
  4. MAKE A BACKUP!!!!!!!!!!
  5. Wipe data/Factoy reset
  6. Install ROM zip from sdcard or usbdisk
  7. Reboot
  8. Enjoy!

awesome thanks

and welcome to the G

what can i do to stop it from trying to do that. should i just keep it in bootloader and re-push cwm after flashing

Thanks. CWM will tell you recovery might be flashed, do you want to fix it? I think "yes" is what you want but make sure to read it fully.

It has something to do with what cwm is looking for to determine if your device is rooted. It doesn't find it so it asks if you want to fix root. I have said yes and no and am rooted either way afterwards. I wish i could be more help.

a new update is out 175.44.1.en.US for the xt1031 (Boost Mobile)

Just got notified myself. Looks like it only fixes activation on some devices. I will update roms when i get a chance.

edit: here is the update.zip. I flashed the unmodified rom and then the update.zip through cwm with no issues. New roms coming soon.
