Root [Boost Mobile] Which roms are safe to flash

Any rom that has the same model number (L710). I think I bricked my phone by flashing a kernel that went with one of the roms I flashed. So, be very careful.
 
I want to flash miui and paranoid android at some point but I want mms so I guess I'll wait until someone gets that mms zip

1 root your phone
2 have clockworkmode install you will need it
3 download es file explorer from the market
3 open es file explorer and hit menu go to setting, your will be changing 5 options

4 download my attach APN file and place it into your sdcard

this should be where you place my file you downloaded
place your finger on it and hold it there till you get a MENU select copy

6 hit back arrow twice to navigate back to the main home directory once your there go to /system/etc/
and past the file it will ask you are you sure or to confirm your chose to overwrite the existing file click OK

7 go into clockworkmod recovery wipe cache partition and click advance fix permissions than roboot system now

8 once rebooted go to the dialpad enter ##3282# click on edit enter your MSL/SPC code




(if you dont know it download GET MY MSL or Connectbot NOT THE ssh-AGENT ONE on your phone dial pad type ##000000# than open either program click get msl and your done or open connectbot In the small dropdown box on the bottom left that says SSH, click and choose local.

Use the command exactly as i wrote it with the caps in the same spots getprop ril.MSL and hit enter.
Your MSL number should show up if that does not work reboot and try again because it did not work for me the first few times

if you guys can get someone to make a working backup of your modem.bin file I can tell you how to get Sprints cm 10.1 Roms working in your boost mobile phone. I'm on virgin mobile or else I would give you a copy of my modem.bin file.

I can give it a try the terminal emulator from the phone is much easier so I would only do the first part right just type in the codes in terminal emulator ? And once I do how would i get it to you
 
just ask hiiipowers for the modem.bin file he has them. sorry for the delay. he can also post the link to go to the virgin mobile thread that has all the directions for flashing the cm 10.1 Rom.
