Root [Virgin Mobile] [SPH-L710][CWM ADV.] OFFICIAL PhilZ-Touch Recovery 6.0 [11.24.13]

I've had a headache trying to get this version working right. ..


The 4glte doesn't work. .at all.

I've installed philz recovery. ...


How do i uninstall philz recovery and put back the default one. I think I'm going to return this phone as defective

Maybe try and exchange for a non t version

Thanks
Its back a few posts. Post #48 I think. Its a recovery image. You can use the app flashify to install it.

This is for the "NDC"

I have NF4

DON'T know if that will make things worse

update: i think i found it;;

Flashing that in odin will revert the phone to stock, basically as if you had just taken it out of the box.



We really, really need a separate forum for this phone so we can post this stuff in it. I wonder when someone will approve/deny my request.



-----------------another update--------------------

after using that tar.md5, i did successfully set my phone BACK to the way it was when you opened the box.

some things i did notice...well one thing..
i got the error: LTE:ESM-X EMM-8

which on google, states its a SPRINT issue and not updating their system to the ICCID, which causes the whole no 4G/LTE

boost rep had NO idea what i was talking about or any clue how to manually update it.
one even suggested i clear my stock browser cache/history.....those generic help from the book..omg..what are they teaching these people,they make them sound like idiots..

oh yes, clearing the cache from browser and history magically fixed the 4G...haha

when i first opened the box, this didnt display..but maybe a firmware caused this to pop up.


here is the resluts of me using ODIN and the stock img.tar.md5:

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

Edit: Sorry, I confused your post with someone else. Are you using the SPH-L710 or L710T?
Keep in mind the mods you are trying to flash are for the SPH-710, not the T version. What did you do or have problems with because a lot of people have been installing mods for this phone for over a year and a half?
