flashing a rom, question

[thejerk]

boost is the only one thats complicted to flash to cricket (so ive read), specifically with MMS and internet. the guy i go to has been flashing for quite some time and is a friend, so i can always ask him if he knows any fixes but he usually keeps up with flashing way more than i do.

I wouldn't see how it would be hard to flash unless there is an ESN issue. Hardware wise the phone is identical. I have GB27 on my phone and Google-Play believes I am a Sprint user and not Boost.

The big thing is to have your MSL to get into your device and that is not hard to get.

i cleared my MSL, so all good there. my network reads as sprint on my about phone tab. idk. i think ill leave it as-is, sell it to someone and get a sprint s2/3 and call it a day. i see little to no issues with mms going on sprint phones flashed to cricket.

also, im on GB27 as well, but my network reads as boost mobile. my user name is also some messed up boostmobile something @ boost something but ends with sprintpcs.com.

idk, i tend to ignore that part because when i was flashed on blu kuban, my phone said my ip address was on a DoD network :\

well as long as it is working, you can still debloat it, and with a recovery kernel there are mods that work nicely for odexed ROMs to make it more to your own liking. A big change in look and feel can be accomplished just by getting a different launcher from the play store.

Well this means Cricket is its own actual network, and so they may do things differently. Boost being a MVNO, does not actually have a network and are totally on Sprint. All the network hardware is Sprint. (Sprint owns Boost)
