Root [Boost Mobile] Tri-Band S3 (SPH-L710T)

Is BusyBox essential? If so, where do I get it?

Is this the proper Philz download that I'm going to flash via Odin?
philz_touch_6.00.8-d2spr.tar.md5

and if you want to use ViPER4Android then BusyBox is essential https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox

So does anyone know what's happening with getting CM11/12 working on this phone? I can't find a recent build of either that doesn't screw up the radio. I thought a fix for that was pushed to the CM repositories...

Liquid Smooth V4 (5.0) flash the D2BST if you have the Sph-L710T and flash the Universal APN fix if you have Boost or Virgin, but if you have Sprint you'll be stuck with 3G

Is the rotation messed up?If so what kernel if there is one to fix?

the Dev for our device and the regular L710 from team liquid is currently looking into fixing that, the 2 Devs i now that made custom kernels for 5.0 deny that rotation is a kernel issue....i think cause they personally don't want to try...For rotation the only fix for AOSP that i know of is Adaptive Rotation Lock.apk

This is awesome thanks for sharing.

I'm rooted now thanks to the good people here. No way I could do this without the guides and answers to my questions. Thank you all!

Is there a list of apps safe to remove?

 

[palmtree5]

And rooted myself! Thanks to everyone providing info!

 

[cartersball]

Just saw this over at XDA. Haven't had a chance to verify yet but if it works for someone let's get it added to this section for those needing to root without a PC.

It says this will work for the T model but you have to be on the updated bootloader

it's not the updated bootloader it's the one your phone came with lol....you only need to Odin the stock NF4 tar if you have been rom hopping....and you need to flash that updated kernel either way...

 

[vce2005]

Hey VCE and all, you need to get a zerolemon big battery. You will be amazed and will work with your phones. There is a thread on it here, have to scroll down a ways. Check it out. Good to see ya here.

Can't find it.... Yah got a link, chatter? Thx

Any news about getting our own sub forums for this phone?

Any news about getting our own sub forums for this phone?

So here's the thing - before the site transition to the new software last month, Phases had empowered 4 of us to help make new forums. But since the transition, we haven't had access to the new admin tools so now he has to do all of them - so we're constrained to helping with the paperwork and priorities.

And the organizational delay for our admin access was driven by a nasty run of bug-making dominoes falling that didn't happen during the test transition. So we had to respect a quarantine on the tools while the devs and Phases got that sorted (which, I think we're near the end of).

And it's the holidays, so the Phaser is behind on this normal growth stuff.

Sorry for the delay but y'all are far from forgotten. I have been checking every day.

Many thanks for your patience!

I can confirm that Wicked S5 Xperience does work if flashed following the steps in the posted link. This ROM is awesome!

I've been running on ROMs Ryan has had a hand in or created himself since my E4GT. One of the best XDA and AF communities I've ever been a part of. Those guys did some awesome work with that phone.

Hello,

Can anyone tell me if Sprint Spark works with the Wicked S5 Xperience ROM? I have the SPH-L710T on Sprint. I will of course flash the AT&T kernel that is suggested. Thanks.

do you mean will the sprint spark LTE work the same as in stock NF4? i have no idea but i do get LTE on my boost spark variant...

 

[josga]

Yes. Will it operate (coverage and speeds) the same as with stock? Because you're getting LTE on your device, I'm going to go for it. I will report the results. Thanks.

Do it just like he posted here or you'll just bootloop.

Thanks. Install was a snap- the ROM is beautiful. Only thing is I am limited to 3G and wifi. (This is the Sprint SPH-L710T). I am hoping for a fix on the LTE- tough to have to go back to stock!

the only fix that i could see is using this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore to backup the APNS in the stock NF4 then downloading the app again in Wicked S5 and restore them....if you could report back if that works for you then i can update those instructions for sprint users

 

[stolikat]

I am also on sprint and waiting to see if this works. Are there any ROMs working on Sprint prepaid phones?
