Root [Virgin Mobile] Big issue

Hi, the_Victorian here.

So, a few months ago back when I was a complete android noob, i restored a mc1 baseband backup on a mg5 build. I managed to save the phone, but since then, it has had major problems. First off, the phone is convinced it is on sprint. I have reactivated it multiple times, but no luck. Even in hangouts it says "sent from my sprint number". In addition, in the areas where it is supposed to be branded Virgin Mobile, it just says Samsung (like the lock screen and phone info). Both 3g and 4g data work, wich is lucky. The main problem is, reicieving MMS. Sending SMS and MMS work like a charm, but someone sends me an MMS, i get an error like the one attached. My greatest thanks goes to whoever can help me with this.

P.S: this is regardless or ROM baseband. I successfuly updates to nd4 a while a go. I suspect an APN issue...

This worked on a couple other Samsungs, haven't tried on victory but I think it should. Get an app from the play store called refresh customization. It worked on an s3 on virgin too. Worth a shot.

No luck. The victory's 4.1 is too old :( it is not available to this device
 
Yeah its for losing carrier in the update from 4.3 to 4.4. Sorry I ha remembered using it on some of my samsung phones that said sprint instead of VM.

Dang this problem is REALLY annoying. Any other ideas? Some kinda factory reset? Anything to avoid buying a new one...
