God... I hate U.S. carrier minority variant models! :mad:

It sounds like Boost/Sprint/Verizon have locked their APN settings. The modem does not get changed from stock when flashing CM ROM. What I am going to suggest is for competent experienced users. First, make a nandroid backup, (mirror image), of your phone in your custom recovery and save it on your external SD card and/or PC. This is your get out of jail card... hopefully!

Next, follow the steps in this video, to allow access to your APN settings...


Just in case everything goes base over apex or you decide that all this is too much trouble, here is the latest stock Samsung firmware for Boost mobile that you can flash via Odin. This will unroot you and return your phone to stock Boost...

I downloaded the firmware from sammobile. Can I just flash it through recovery? What will happen when I flash it? Will it un root my phone? What will it do?
 
OK, I followed the steps in the video again and it worked, but, it still won't let me edit access point names; it says they're unavailable for this user.
 
On first boot, the phone needs to compile all the apps for the run-time environment. On some phones this can easily take 10 or 15 minutes which makes it appear to be 'stuck'. We usually recommend people wait 30 minutes before panicking. :)
 
i feel stupid for this but i can't figure out how to root my phone again. i tried flashing cf autoroot with odin but it says this eror message on my phone "custom binary(recovery) blocked by R/L
 
What version of Android did you end up flashing? Root methods for your phone will be different and if you were on a different version when you first rooted, you might need a different method.
 
To root your phone using chainfire's, CF-Auto-Root kernel, see...

[SM-G900*] CF-Auto-Root

This kernel is for the G900P model on Android 6.0.1... CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.zip

If the phone does not boot after flashing, pull the battery and re-insert and then boot into Recovery Mode and wipe the phone's cache partition as per #1.3 of S5 Update Problems - Dummies Guide.

To flash the TWRP custom recovery, just download the TWRP klte version and flash it via Odin as per the instructions in the link.
