Root [Boost Mobile] Why are there so many update files missing here?

For the deodexed stock the ND8 stock tar is missing and yet it is required to flash first. Secondly, the Cingularity update 9.5 is missing. I do not understand this at all. I just want a basic custom Rom and the required files necessary for it to work properly. Am I missing something? Have people given up on this phone or are these files unnecessary? My baseband is L710 and I just want a basic deodexed Rom to run and all the necessary proper files for it to do so. Any suggestions on something that will work for me? Thanks.
 
L710 is your phone's model number, not baseband. As long as your baseband ends in either NDC or ND8 you can flash any ROM based off NDC or ND8. They are interchangeable and basically the same thing. There is no need to flash anything with Odin as long as you have one of those 2 basebands already on your phone.

As far as which ROM is best, that's going to be up to you to decide. Just make sure you make a backup first so you can go back in case you don't like the ROM.
 
Thank you. I end in NDC. My question is though, the 9.5 update for Cingularity is missing and the stock tar is missing for the stock rom deodexed. I just need a simple ROM that has all of the necessary files ready to download. Many missing links regarding those two ROMS i mentioned.
 
If you are on NDC, that is newer than nd8. Those Roms say you should be at least nd8. You can disregard that. The developer for conquest singularity may still have the update on his personal blog page. But its not necessary to have just to use the ROM. It was fine before 9.5. There are even more updates after that. Beta builds so I wouldn't worry about it. So the files you're referring to aren't necessary for what you're trying to do. Flash away my friend. You don't need the stock tar. Nd8 stock tar is for sprint anyways and most links to it point to where it truly lives over in its original thread on XDA. Not missing.

Edit: 9.5 update is here . and yes its in the virgin mobile thread. Its exactly the same file and link. When you flash it asks if you are virgin/sprint/or boost and applies the proper apns.
Sometimes you just have to look around a little.
Do not Odin flash the nd8 tar. If you want deodexed nd8, just flash cnexus' deodex nd8 ROM in recovery.
But you don't need nd8 tar to flash conquest. That was just to tell people who were on older firmware (like mk5) that they needed to update to at least nd8.

OH no my friend. People haven't given up on this phone's development. Quite the contrary. Development for this phone is alive and well. You just need to know where to look. It takes a good bit of reading to learn what all is going on. If you have questions, ask. This is a great section with awesome members who are more than willing to help you out and point you in the right direction. Google is your friend too. :-)

EDIT: One more thing I need to mention. Double check your phone model. The older S3 model SPH-L710 is being replaced by the SPH-L710T (tri-band). You need to pay very close attention to that model number or you could possibly find yourself in some trouble. If you have the SPH-L710 then you are good to go and 99% of the ROMs will work on your phone. If you have the newer "T" model, do some research before you start flashing ROMs. Many of the older ROMs will not run on the new model yet.

Best of luck and remember to ask questions before going forward with flashing a ROM. It usually does not take very long for questions to be answered in this section.

So, I am good to go on all these ROMs because I am running NDC? Just want to make sure before I flash and thanks for all the help. I certainly want something deodexed so I can access this crazy throttling files. Not sure it will work but willing to give it a try.

Check your model number first. Sph-l710 or sph-l710t. Look for that "t" like wetbiker said. It makes a difference.
And no you will not be able to get around data throttling. Its not controlled by your device. Its handled on the carrier side. Sorry.

dial ##data# and edit only these things

Revtunneling = disable

Mulimedia Menu

RTSP PROXY ADDRESS=O.O.O.O

RTSP PROXY PORT # = O

HTTPPD PROXY ADDRESS = 0.0.0.0

HTTPPD PROXY PORT = 0

DSS Menu

PROXY SERVER IP ADDRESS = 0.0.0.0

PROXY SERVER PORT = 0

Reboot

That's how you get around throttling on TW roms

No way that actually works, (does it?)
 
Ok. Could you just recommend a Rom for me then? I am running NDC and my model is Sph-l710. I have Philz Recovery and I am rooted. Just need something to go with! What do you recommend?

Personally I just started using the wicked S5 experience rom. And I must say I am loving it. I also found an S5 settings apk to also get the s5 settings.
It is a touchwiz ROM. If you want aosp Roms keep looking. For me they all have broken features that I need working. This ROM contains xposed framework installer and the wanam module so customization is endlessly exciting.

it does for me :) it was shared a while back for Virgin users and it was mentioned that it could be used on boost and sprint.....and it does

That's really variable. I've seen threads with people arguing about whether it works, it seems to vary. Maybe devs touching the network stack.

RTSP - real time streaming media - is just that and only in play for rtsp:// links, DSS is device self service for activation and updates, and I don't need to explain http:// lol.

If you have a streaming media problem, Sprint will clear the RTSP and HTTP proxies for you.

Others say to delete your /system/throttle contents *before* throttling sets in.

Just two cents to say that mileage seems to vary a lot on this one.
 
Yeah I got throttled .

Make sure you read everything in the bug section to see if your willing to accept any of the bugs if any are there.
It does help to read everything and make sure you understand everything!!!!!!!
I always before I try something new I always try to learn how to recover what I have first before anything else.
So Make Back up's!! using philz Recovery and save it to your computer this way if all else fails you can just go back to
where you left off at. Far less upset trust me..;)
