Root Need custom rom for sprint OE

Pull the /system file from your sprint rom, upload it somewhere and that would make it way easier for somebody to get you a rom.
 
What's messing up on your phone? How has it affected it? And If you want a ROM you'll have to upload your phones system files.
 
Everything you Sprint guys need to get a custom rom is right in the Aeneas rom thread. Any of you guys can do it, seriously.

Read the first two posts and post #15, 15 has a bit regarding making a Sprint rom.

You don't need to have somebody build a custom rom just so it will say sprint. That's in the build.prop. open it up, then scroll down a bit and you'll see where it says...

#ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Virgin Mobile

Change that so the pound sign is in front of the virgin mobile line, and not the sprint like so...

ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint
#ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Virgin Mobile

Then restart and you'll be good. You can change it to say whatever you want it to say.

So it could say Flibbity-Gibbets and it wouldn't affect anything?

It is the system folder itself, not under any subfolder. So you just go to the root directory of the phone(/), then go to system(/system), and you will see a file called "build.prop". Yes, you can use anything that will get you there.

I used an app called ES File Explorer. It's free in the market, if you get it you have to go to its settings to enable root access and mount /system as rewritable. And you could do that, but it's safer to delete the "#" symbol in front of the line that has sprint at the end, and PUT a "#" symbol in front of the line that has Virgin Mobile at the end.

So you will go from this
Code: 
#ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Virgin Mobile
To this
Code: 
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint
#ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Virgin Mobile
Whenever the phone reads the build.prop, it scans all the lines, and any lines that have a "#" in front of them get ignored. So by putting a "#" in front of Virgin Mobile line, you are telling your phone to ignore that, and pay attention to the line that says Sprint.

If you still cannot get it to work for you, just tell me what ROM you are using, and I'll download it, edit the build.prop, then give the edited build.prop to you.
