You flashed the ROM for sprint. You need to flash the virgin mobile one. You can flash this one in custom recovery (philz touch recovery) http://androidforums.com/showthread.php?p=6595566
Then if your data doesn't work, flash the APN fix here http://androidforums.com/showthread.php?p=6516416
Hopefully you used Odin to flash custom recovery. If not, you need to do that to flash Roms.
Here is the link to philztouch recovery https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte.zip flash it in Odin then use the recovery to flash the first two zips I linked. After you Odin recovery, boot into recovery , from power off, hold power, home and volume up. Install zips from there

The 4.4.2 flashes the NDC m
Sorry but didn't get notified. Did you do a dirty flash?
Or it might be that the NDC modem lags it in your area. Look at previous threads regarding that issue.
Actually my bad when I didn't link you there in the first place. A dirty flash occurs when you (the user) doesn't wipe cache or dalvik cache on your device and flashes directly.
Here is the link even though there are other complaints. It works just the same for me so I don't notice the difference.

Clean both cache and flash again.
What recovery are you using?
Click on Advanced and it should be there. And surely it should work.
Only liked because gave credit to both.
Haha.
Actually, it'd be nicer to keep the thread, just mark as resolved. That way should another person need it, it's easily archived.
