(see post # 3)
Disclaimer: Currently looking for the original link for the apn fix and modem, until then, I had them in my cloud account. When I find links, I will change them below.
Apn fix
http://my.pcloud.com/#page=publink&code=jMp
L710 MK5 modem
http://my.pcloud.com/#page=publink&code=eMp
Gapps for 4.3 only
http://my.pcloud.com/#page=publink&code=VTp
Flash installation: with philz recovery do a full wipe afterwards flash rom&gapps Flashing isn't done yet after u did ROM and gapps make sure flash mk5 modern and APN fix then reboot wait 5 to 6mins or less then that and enjoy lte

If u need gapps for old and new here it is give credit to this site from holding them http://www.androidfilehost.com/gapps

I've never had to re-activate phone, but if you do need to, you can just dial ##72786#

Can this be easily modified to work with Boost Mobile USA?

The answer to that is yes... Probably.
Thanks to @struckn (and some others I'm sure) the two groups are working and thinking together.

You wouldn't get scolded for starting a discussion on that topic. If you do, ignore it. You'll have plenty of interest and support here...

@mobclan, when flashing the modified CarbonRom that MopedRyder so graciously got to work with VM, he indicates that you don't have to flash any of the "fixes"--does that mean the apn fix and modem?

All you have to do it flash and boot - no need to flash any of the "fixes" after.

Some people always have problems getting LTE or MMS to work trust do it by itself meaning skip the WiFi settings and go straight into carbon then u see and ask him to show a screen shot
