Root [Boost Mobile] ROM's confirmed working for SPH-L710T

I am sticking with Wicked X. It may be touch wiz but it is dialed in and has lots of extras. It works perfectly with sprint prepaid.

The only issue is the compass is backwards.

Sweet - I'm not recommending PAC-ROM over any other rom, just reporting how well it works;)

I'm moving to Wicked myself - does the compass being backwards affect GPS navigation, like with Google Maps? That would suck.

No because navigation detects your motion. Think of it like driving your car backwards. :D
 
I originally tried M12, but had numerous problems. Went to M10 based on comments from others. Don't go to M11/M12 unless you have good backups. Not sure what they broke.

Did you need to restore to stock via Odin first? Or just follow the ROM instructions?

I just noticed that they only support twrp. Did you switch? Do you have a link to a working version?
 
Philz works fine.It will flash fine where your at.They just dont support philz if errors occur when flashing.
 
Where exactly are the stock files to flash in odin? I see a stock rom but im not sure how thatd be an y better than just restoring a backup of my own stock rom. Ive been being a flashaholic since i got this thing rooted a few days ago and im starting to run into problems. After flashing an LP rom i cant get any TW roms to load any longer. They just get hung up at the boot screen. I also noticed that even after going back to AOSP, the APN fix doesent appear to work either, as it did before. Such an odd problem with samsung phones. On my G2 I had no difficulty going from stock to CM12 to CM11 and back to stock. As long as i wiped everything everything was all good. Anyways can someone point me in the right direction to stock fies to flash in odin? And what exactly do i flash? I know for Philz recovery i just put the tar for that in the PDA slot. Same deal for the actual rom?
 
After flashing Lollipop on any phone you'll need to wipe data, cache, dalvik, and Internal Storage. Lollipop writes to the internal storage of the device and this is not cleared when you wipe data, cache, and dalvik. This is why you're having issues booting TW ROM's. Also a good idea to occasionally odin in the stock .tar and re root with Philz. This model is a little finicky.

Link to the stock ROM .tar file below. Yes flash the same way you flash Philz. Then you'll odin the Philz file you have and re root device.

That goes for any and all models.
 
Are there any known kernels compatible with the t model? Im on the CM10 M10 snapshot someone posted here and it makes this phone a whole different experience however the battery seems even worse than stock which I didn't think possible.
