Root [Virgin Mobile] Any development

OK so I'm thinking about get a s3.. What you are telling me is flashing sprints ROMs are OK or is it more to it.. Like flash a fix too work?

This is an awesome phone, I am really enjoying mine. At this point in the month, you might just want to wait for Cyber Monday and see if Virgin offers a better deal, but either way I would highly recommend. If you do get one and want to run custom ROM's on it, you will want to utilize these two threads: http://androidforums.com/virgin-mobile-galaxy-s3-all-things-root/771802-mod-sprint-virgin-mobile-lte-mms-fix-wip-cm-aosp-tw-update-10-14-a.html and http://androidforums.com/virgin-mobile-galaxy-s3-all-things-root/791952-all-in-one-guide-modifying-custom-roms.html. Flashing custom ROM's causes issues with LTE and MMS, MopedRyder has done a great job putting together flashable .zip files to fix this. In order to flash custom ROM's in the first place, you have to choose a Sprint ROM, and you need to know how to modify it, the second link is a thread I put together with instructions on how to do that.
