Go to settings > about phone and see what baseband you are on. I am also on boost (LG-855) but I am running on the spring baseband (LS-855). When installing this rom for boost, did you use the .install.prop command to make sure it installed the boost version? If not, the installer will read your baseband and if you are on the sprint baseband like I am it will install the sprint version on the ROM.

If you look at the OP you will see:
If you are using a mismatched baseband and carrier (eg. Boost firmware on Sprint), you will need to override the automatic detection. To do this, place a file on the phone named /sdcard/.install.prop with the single line "install.model=xx855", where xx855 is your desired model name.

Code:
adb shell echo "install.model=LS855" > /sdcard/.install.prop

In your case, you would have to swap LS855 for LG855. That will install the Boost firmware but maintain your current baseband.

But you added both APN's and swapped out apns-conf.xml in /etc and /system/etc?

for boost i had to do a clean install of the rooted zv4 then badabing
 
Btw if anyone is having problems with screen not coming on you may have overclocked to high well at least that was my problem lol
 
I have a boost lg855 just sitting here im willing to do all the testing if anyone needs me to test their ROM's and see if we can get a JB or ICS roms to work on it....I wanted to revert back to stock but guess ill keep it to help the community out! :smokingsomb:

Feel free to msg me and I will give you my email address to all the developers!

Cheers!! Let me know!! :p :D

Thanks for the offer, but at this point about all we can do is wait on the kernel TDM is slaving over. Without the updated drivers in the 3.x.x kernel, you won't see full functionality in this rom.

On the flip side, once CM10 is finished i'm failry certain it will take preference over CM9 (with the exception of AOKP for those who get excited by the little things in life)

Updates will come eventually, and patience is a virtue. As said before, we would rather wait and have a fully functional ROM then rush to get it finished and have boatloads of bugs to work out later.

If you don't really use your camera, I would say keep this. I ran AOKP CM9 for months as is, and loved every minute of it. Otherwise, jump on the CTMod bandwagon for the time being.
 
Problem this line: adb shell echo "install.model=LG855" > /sdcard/.install.prop

its save in my /sdcard/.install.prop

is it

adb shell echo "install.model=LG855" > /sdcard/.install.prop

or

adb shell
echo "install.model=LG855" > /sdcard/.install.prop

This didnt work im still showing SPRINT!! ????

Also No Google Play and no way to install apps with a file explorer???
 
Having trouble getting my contacts also, it synced my eamil but when I click contact's they are blank its asking me to setup account so i enteer in my gmail account and its not taking it:

Domain\Username
mygmail@gmail.com

Password:
************

Server:
gmail.com

Never had this problem with anyother ROMs or with the phone for that matter...what am I missing?

First off, are you using ADB to do this? If you are just trying to type it in a text file, no dice.

You should be doing this from command prompt on your computer, or possibly a terminal emulator (not sure, havent tried?)

Either way, you may want to google ADB to ensure you are set up for ADB and get familiar with the concept. You will need the correct drivers and development tools.

Then you would open command prompt, navigate to whichever directory you have adb in. From there you can check to ensure it reads your device by typing "adb devices". you should see the device serial number.

from there, "adb shell" initiates a shell session with the device. the ""echo "install.model=LG855" > /sdcard/.install.prop"" is telling it to repeat or "echo" the text install.model=LG855 to the directory /sdcard/.install.prop meaning on the root of the sd card it will create a file called install.prop to write the aforementioned text to.

For ADB help, Try this
What is ADB, and how do I use it?
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474956

If you can't figure it out from there, you're probably better off sticking with CTMod. If you're going to use an Alpha rom, its best to have some sort of experience with ADB and/or logcats for at the very least troubleshooting. If something goes wrong and you dont know what it is, we can't help.
 
...what am I missing?

A little thing called Gapps.

Please read as much as you can before flashing. All of these questions have been answered within the first 2 pages of the OP
 
I have dont everything thanks I got gAPPS but the USB debugging is not working my device shows up as usb but adb can not find my device.......idk what the hell is going on I have done this before with my marquee using CTMod's is there a bug in the ROM???

No. The rom works just fine minus the cameras.

Are you sure you have all the sdk tools and drivers for adb? sounds like that may be the culprit.

Enabling USB debugging and plugging it in is not going to enable ADB. There are certain files you must install and certain directories and resources ADB needs to run. If you dont have those, its not going to work. plain and simple.
 
This excerpt is taken from the link I provided you with earlier:
What is ADB, and how do I use it?

Installing ADB

"Aside from ADB, the other set of initials that you see with Android hacking is SDK. This stands for Software Development Kit. So yes, in order to root most devices, you’ll need to download the entire platform that developers use to create apps.
To get started, pick up the version of Android SDK for your platform:Once downloading, extract the file to an easy-to-remember place on your PC. On Windows, we’d recommend installing it in your root (c:) drive, in order to make it easier to navigate there via command line.






Now you’ll want to open the folder that you extracted the SDK into, and launch the SDK Manager (on OS X, you do this by executing the program ‘Android,’ which is located in the ‘Tools’ folder in the SDK).


After launching SDK Manager, you’ll see a list of optional packages to download and install. Find the one that says “Android SDK Platform Tools” (you may need to expand the “Tools” entry to find it). Once you locate it, check its box to indicate that you want to install it (choose “accept”). Unless you want to develop apps, it’s safe to uncheck everything else (choose “reject”).


After choosing “Install,” Platform Tools will be automatically downloaded, and you’ll be (almost) ready to use ADB."


The rest of the article goes into details about drivers, directories, and testing your ADB connection. If you aren't connecting through command prompt (the black box with white text) on your computer, you aren't using ADB.
 
I did that I have those two installed.......ok now when choosing debug mode on phone the phone wont even show the little bug at the top of the corner now im installing the Android 4.1.2 (API) Im going to stop that I know its not needed....so point is I have the TWO tools at the top!!! Saved on C:\ANDROID

Next?

Go to where you see what i pasted above, scroll past it, and keep reading ;)

Also, make sure you have Java SDK and not just the standard Java package. Some more info here

Also, your commands are directory specific, so know where your files are. If they aren't located or named the same as the examples, substitute the name/location of your folder for the one in the example
 
Ok I got it!
Had to connect with ip but it did and i installed the prop file I see it now in the root of my sdcard now I will reboot and try to reinstall......lets see if this works!!

Man I forgot that I re installed windows 7 and that the old windows has alll the drivers on there so I had to install the drivers....now its asking for the info as it should and I installed the gapps right after installing the ROM....im no newbie to this I just do so much coding at work and when it dosent happen the way i remember then i get a little hot headed...please forgive me ill let you know if I run into other issues! Wish the camera worked tho.

So whats new to this as compared to CTMod?? Is it faster, smoother better?? Can I run ICS apps now??

Thanks!!

There's a lot that's different. The best way to find out is to run both of the ROMs (CTMOd & CM9)
and compare them yourself. You can also run the themes that are out there for CM9. As for your question if you can run the ICS apps... um.. you're running ICS so you should be able to. Just keep in mind that this is in the ALPHA stage and you are gonna run in to things. When you do, just do Tdm a favor and report the things that haven't been reported yet.
 
It definitely runs smoother than GB. The UI is improved as well. There are a lot of little things you will notice as you use it. Keep in mind there will still be lag from time to time as I'm pretty sure this is still running off the GB kernel. If you followed the development thread, you will see what a battle the 3.x.x kernel has been to port forward. TDM did amazing things with what he had to work with, so be patient and once the new kernel is finished you will unleash the full buttery smoothness that is CM9/CM10.

Furthermore, if your into customization, I highly recommend the AOKP rom.
 
Where can i find that rom? In the rom section? AOKP?? 1st bug is that when trying to run thethering the phone reboots its self and is stuck in the welcome screen, no big deal for now just back up my ICS rom and load the CTMod rom and teather if needed.!

Use wireless tether for root users and make sure to have the connection as ad hoc so it can work properly, right now it doesn't work as infrastructure.
 
I've tried CM9 but finally decide to try out AOKP and it is working beautifully. :thumbup:

Phrant1c, thank you for the MMS fix. This is the 1st time I've tried and it worked perfect using Chompsms. The instructions you posted were spot on.:D

Another thing that I noticed right off was Gmail. For some unknown reason it will not work for me on CTMOd and I've had to use the stock email app. It started working for me as soon as I synced. Perfect!

Tdm, very nice work. I'm gonna run this AOPK for awhile. Thank you again.:)
