Ya I think its a bit lame but guess they just don't want to deal with it or what ever.
Be wary of this... I followed the instructions TO THE T yet I believe this flashed a recovery to my phone that was not from the HoS. I had to Ruu to stock to fix it. Suppose I could have done something wrong... but nonetheless. Also, when I tried doing the recovery it opened my docs... I put the .img in there and then it said I needed to put it in ETv2/prog/zo so I did so and that's when bootloader froze up on me.
Re: [TOOL] HTC Everything Tool!
Fastboot is programmed to execute 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' it flashes it the only way you can via pc, although I will look into the problem and see if its on the software side!

Uh i think u just got a bad flash. it happens once in a while. Happened to me a few months ago. Had to RUU back to stock before flashing anything cuz fastboot commands wouldn't work. and i do everything by hand. not a fan of tools.

Yeah, that must be it. No worries guys, like I said... I got it back. ^_~ I was just really scared thinking I screwed up the recovery partition or something because flashing the recoveries manually did nothing and when I tried to boot to recovery it would just go to a black screen. At that point I was unsure how to re-lock the phone without the recovery to flash my bootloader lock zip so I tried fastboot oem lock and though it gave me an error I saw that it was now "Relocked" and I was like.. "Oh crap, please RUU back to stock with stock recovery... PLEASE!" XD
Re: [TOOL] HTC Everything Tool!
Well glad it worked, I just flashed twrp recovery and everything went well, although I found minor hugs and fixed them, updating my tool to v2.5

Sorry to hear that. SuperCID looks a bit complicated. Pushing the files and rooting must be do-able.
Look like I'll have to wait a bit more then.
Thanks for the reply.

Thanks to AlphaRev Team we can now S-Off the Aria(Removes Security Flag)
**This is for any Aria either shipped with or upgraded to 2.2.2 Firmware**
For an alternative guide check out post #84 by zervic in THIS Thread
Requirements you must have:
*All Drivers installed on Windows PC (See Aria Superthread)
*Aria S/W v2.2.2 (either from the Update RUU or Factory Shipped)
***WARNING*** Installing the Aria Update RUU will format the phone. Any info not backed up will be lost. SD Card is not affected
---If you have ClockworkMod installed you can make a Nandroid backup which can be restored later
*HBOOT 1.02 (installs with the Update RUU)
Difficulty Level= Medium/Some experience required
How To S-Off
-If you have s/w version 2.1 or Custom ROM follow installation instructions for Un-Rooting in the Aria Superthread
if needed: Download ATT Aria Shipping ROM 2.2.2
1- Make sure USB Debugging is checked in Applications/Development
2- Go to Revolutionary Website and click "Download For Windows". a form will pop up which we will fill out later
3- Save file to PC and keep web page open
4- Plug in phone with data cable then run downloaded program Alpharevx.exe

Just wanted to point out that this step is OPTIONAL. This will allow you to acquire root with your default, stock ROM. However, if you intend to install a custom ROM (Cyanogenmod, Liberated, etc.) then you should just skip this step entirely and go straight to installing the ROM of your choice.
Sweet write up! If I'm not busy this weekend, I may take a jab at it. Thanks duder.
Finally, a well done step by step writeup, that pulls all of the pieces together along with the necessary links.
Well done.
Thanks
Thank you for the comments guys!!
@drumist thanks for pointing that out. this was explained in the guide i made on other forums. fixed it here now
@cHarley04 the download for 2.2 RUU is linked in the Aria Superthread, which is linked in the first step on how to S-Off
maybe i will include the direct link for simplicity
I was just about to do this and went to alpharevs sight and the windows download link is replaced with, "windows version is under review, sorry". Noooo! I'm off today, kids and wife are asleep and my little little aria almost saw the future. Oh well, next weekend hopefully that puppys up and running. I know there's a Linux download link but I like sticking to what I always use, sucky windows.

same here
got excited at the first sight
but...
Yeah I would have no idea how to run a virtual linux instance so I could do this... hopefully AlphaRev gets the windows version cleared soon, so I can root and use wifi hotspot.

open up the clockworkrecovery rar with winrar or a program like it and youll see a file that says recovery.img that's the file you'll want to extract into the adb folder with the fastboot.exe
so guys is this still for only 2.1 users or can you already have the 2.2.2 installed

This is specifically for, 2.2.2
The first step in the process, is to upgrade to 2.2.2 if you don't have it.
If you already have 2.2.2, you just skip that step.

let me ask 1 more way so that I am not mis-understanding..
if my wife took the OTA update from AT&T and it upgraded her phone to 2.2.2 which put the security in place preventing you from rooting this will allow me to undo that?
sorry for the extra question
I'm a knucklehead sandwich!!!! I was missing the fastboot.exe!! It was late and I was a few beers deep. All good now. S-off woooohooo!!!!!

@Tommyguns, glad you got iy M8
@bkeaver, yes the guide is for factory phones with 2.2(same as OTA update), and for those who want to upgrade from 2.1 using the 2.2 update RUU.
pretty sure it says that in the guide, but i will check and make adjustments for clarity if needed
Edited first post. also please take special attention to anything posted in RED

STOCK ROM JB 4.1.2 FOR BELL CANADA SGH-I757M (FLASHABLE ZIP)
*** NEW AROMA INSTALLER FOR STOCK JB 4.1.2 ***
***************************************************************************
WARNING
***************************************************************************
I assume no responsibility in the event you brick your device. Make sure you have read the instructions before flashing as they may slightly differ from what your used to.

About This ROM:
Hey guys, so Samsung has finally released JB 4.1.2 for the Bell Canada SGH-I757M, which is currently only available through the sammobile.com website and through Samsung KIES. The download zip contains a tar.md5 file and includes a 3e Recovery partition. That's bad news for those of you with a custom recovery. It will be overwritten and you'll have to go through flashing your custom recovery partition again.
So I bring you a Stock Flashable zip that won't replace your custom recovery. That way you can try the new stock rom without loosing root or your custom recovery.
The only credit I assume here is putting the zip package together which involved using @dsixda Kitchen (thanks dsixda). I also added root to this package so that you can have a fully rooted Stock Rom.

Instructions:
*** MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY IS AT LEAST 75% OR MORE BEFORE FLASHING ***
Before you flash this ROM, you will need a custom recovery installed. I recommend Philz touch recovery found here:
[celoxhd][SGH-I757M][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch
*** UPDATED: July 31, 2013 v3 - See second post for changes ***
Those of you looking for a flashable zip for rooting that works with the tar.md5 JB rom from sammobile.com, use this one:
CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip - I did not put this package together, it was given to my be another member, but it worked when others did not.New Instructions (Aroma Installer):
Instructions for the Aroma Installer version is extremely simple, there is no need to wipe data/format cache/format dalvik-cache as the Installer will take care of that for you if you want it to.
*** ALWAYS REMEMBER TO TAKE A NANDROID AND ALL YOUR NECESSARY BACKUPS BEFORE FLASHING ***
The one zip file contains all of the modems (ICS & JB), the new playstore app (install optional) and all mods. Just download the zip file and flash it like you would any other ROM, then you will be taken through a series of installer screens that will allow you to choose which apps, mods and modems you want to install.

MODS
Extended Power Menu MOD
To apply the Extended Power Menu MOD, download the following zip to your sdcard as it needs to be flashed from CWM:
MOD_SGH-I757M_STOCK_JB_EXTENDED_POWER_MENU.zip (19.6MB)
1. First take a nandroid backup since we are modifying system files and can easily soft brick our phone by doing this.
2. Flash the MOD from CWM, and restart your phone.
Please be aware that the phone doesn't like to start up for the first time after you flash this mod, you will get stuck at the bootloader screen (not sure why). This is easily overcome by pressing and holding your power button for a hard reset (Hold it for about 10 to 15 seconds. You will feel it vibrate). It should then get past the boot screen.

Here is a CWM flashable zip that will install the Galaxy S4's S-Voice onto your SGH-I757M. S-Voice is Samsung's SIRI clone. It seems to work fairly well so far. Just a little slow at times. Just download this zip to your sdcard, make a nandroid backup, and flash this zip. This will install S-Voice on your device. (It may force close on you a couple of times when you first open it up. Just keep opening it up until the force closes stop).

Thanks to @cabetoguerra for finding this leaked apk. Other files and libs were gathered by me and mostly found from a zip file created by xda member zoot1.
FAQ
Q. After I flash the Rom, I get FC's (force closes) like crazy, and I'm gonna pull my hair out!
A. If you did not expressly follow the instructions above, go back and read them. You must format the system, cache and data partitions manually in addition to the regular method.
If you did read and follow the instructions and are still getting FC's. Try the whole process over again and flash the Rom twice just to make sure it fully flashed and all the scripts ran successfully.
Thanks to @4runner10 for actually having to try this
Q. I'm on a Telus network and I get no data connection.
A. Check out this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987678 for Telus APN settings as they differ from Bell APN settings.

yeah, i always used to flash the rom twice but didn't bother this time. might want to mod the instructions! that did the trick, i also wiped the dalvik after the rom and modem were flashed. no idea if that would make a diff tho!

CWM 6.0.4.8 Advanced Edition / PhilZ Touch Recovery 6.40.1
PhilZ Recovery is a CWM Advanced Edition that adds all the features you could ever miss in CWM.
It is a well proven recovery for many phones.
Please give your feedback, what works, and any bug you could encounter.
Read the features at the Main thread, and check if you are missing something.
To take a screen shot, just slide left!
And don't forget to read about powerful aroma file manager integration and double-tap shortcut (in FAQs).
How to install recovery?
From download link below, you'll get a 'recovery.img' file. Put that recovery.img file at root directory of your
sdcard. (means not in any folder)
Now, go to terminal emulator.
Give command:
Code:
su
You'll be asked to grant superuser permissions, grant it.
Now, give the following command:
Code:
flash_image recoveryonly /sdcard/recovery.img
Wait until it executes the command (4-5 seconds), it is installing the recovery.
Now, normally reboot to recovery and enjoy new recovery!

:FAQs:
Q: Wanna know about Aroma File manager?
Visit the aroma file manager main thread for more info---> Aroma file manager main thread
Aroma file manager is a touch file manager which can be used while in recovery. It has options for copy, paste, delete,
change permissions and many others. Also, it has a Terminal inside. So, if you forgot to give correct permissions to any
file you can do that directly from recovery. This file manager has got many themes, font, icons, etc. options and it's UI
is fully customizable.
Q: How to start this File manager in Recovery?
Rename the downloaded file to 'aromafm.zip'.
Create a folder 'aromafm' inside 'Clockworkmod' folder on your sdcard.
Now, move that 'aromafm.zip' file to the 'aromafm' folder.
We're ready now, when you want to use it in recovery just double tap anywhere OR go to "philz Settings" and select
"Aroma File Manager" and it will start up.
If you also want to browse /data, /system and /sd-ext then mount them in the "mounts & storage" option in recovery.
Q: Problems with Aroma file manager startup?
After doble-tapping OR selecting 'Aroma file Manager' option under 'philz settings' if recovery gives error: 'aromafm.zip
not found at /clockworkmod/aromafm' then, wait for 4-5 seconds and again select 'Aroma file Manager', because it maybe
busy mounting sdcard.
If still doesn't work, you've made mistakes in steps mentioned in first post, please do again carefully.
Q: Does your phone every time reboots to recovery?
This happens very rare when you flash the recovery using any bad app or via any wrong (not proper) method. What you can do
is:
-If you've made a backup of your current ROM then just restore only it's "boot" and then select 'reboot to system'.
OR
-You don't have a backup? Then just flash the ROM which you are using currently again and wipe 'dalvik-cache'. Then reboot
to system. Booting process will take time.
NEW: Now you can enjoy the full version of the recovery! Thanks to @Phil3759 for uploading necessary
commits for armv6. And, everything is expected to be bug-free. Please report the bug here if you find any.

Wow this should be great
I tried the recovery and it works. Installation is quick and simple and works just as described. Installing, wiping, backups, touch (up and down) and everything else works just as said. Kudos to you OP!
The last thing I wanna know:
After installing/restoring anything, can you successfully reboot to system?
You should also try Aroma File manager, it's the best part of this recovery.
Gonna Try...
@Bhargav97 i tested it , everything is working but there is one big problem , the recovery cannot reboot to system , it only reboot to recovery ,even if i shut down the device and then boot it , still stuck on recovery

Always Read OPs of a thread.
See my post #3, I've already stated that Right/Left swipe won't work yet. We're lucky to at least have a basic touch code implemented in our androidarmv6 sources. It is improving...someday if androidarmv6 developers plan to furnish the recovery touch code, right/left swipe will also be fixed. I can't fix that.

Marshmallow root has been much more difficult than simply flash a zip in recovery, because it also requires a modified boot image to work.
I've done all the work for you, this root is achieved with SELinux enforced using Chainfire's method.
The original RUU/Stock rom is here.
In this post you can find the followings:
Aroma Stock Rom
Root Info
GPE Marshmallow on All Models
Disable S-ON System Write Protection
Sweep to sleep module
FAQ
Aroma Stock Rom (All models support with selectable root)
Simplest way to dive in GPE Marshmallow, the installer will guide you to the right direction.
If you want root, take a look at the next section for some info about root methods.
Choose your model in the installer, it also includes proper support for Sprint and Verizon device,
This will NOT convert your device into GPE!! It only flashes a rom.
Aroma Version Stock GPE
Mega Link
Important!! If you choose systemless root, please choose "Do not install SuperSU" when reboot in TWRP, because TWRP isn't updated to detect this new method. If you choose to install SuperSU within TWRP you'll get stuck in boot loop.
Root Info
In Marshmallow, Chainfire gave us with two rooting methods include:
The traditional root in system, which breaks OTA functionality.
(It's more stable now)
New "systemless" approach, which means the root stuffs are only in DATA and BOOT, the system will stay intact and it will accept OTAs.
(Note that this method is still in beta stage according to CF)
If you already downloaded the GPE Marshmallow stock rom and you want root, this is where you'd be interested with.
(Non-GSM device should now jump to next section)
Choose your preferred root method above, and follow the correspond instructions below.
Instructions:
Traditional:
Flash m8-mmgpe-su-boot.zip in attachment with TWRP
Flash SuperSU 2.52
Systemless:
Be sure you haven't used any other root method(like the traditional one above), if you've rooted with other methods, please re-flash your system back to pure stock
Flash m8-mmgpe-su-boot-systemless.zip in attachment with TWRP
Download SuperSU-v2.56-20151030013730.zip in this thread, and flash it through TWRP
Important!! Please choose "Do not install SuperSU" when reboot in TWRP, because TWRP isn't updated to detect this new method. If you choose to install SuperSU within TWRP you'll get stuck in bootloop.
GPE Marshmallow on All Models
Not an International/GSM device and still want some Marshmallow love? This is where you'd be interested with.
Simplest way is flash the pre-packed rom above, but if you already downloaded the stock rom and don't want to re-download, then look below.
GPE MM on all models is possible because it uses the Sense all-model dtb image, thanks to sun_dream for his work!!
Choose your preferred root method above, and follow the correspond instructions below.
Instructions:
Traditional:
Flash m8_AIO-mmgpe-su-boot.zip in attachment with TWRP
Flash SuperSU 2.52
Systemless:
Be sure you haven't used any other root method(like the traditional one above), if you've rooted with other methods, please re-flash your system back to pure stock
Flash m8_AIO-mmgpe-su-boot-systemless.zip in attachment with TWRP
Download SuperSU-v2.56-20151030013730.zip in this thread, and flash it through TWRP
Important!! Please choose "Do not install SuperSU" when reboot in TWRP, because TWRP isn't updated to detect this new method. If you choose to install SuperSU within TWRP you'll get stuck in bootloop.
Disable S-ON System Write Protection
After you rooted, you might find out that your system partition is locked up, this is because of HTC's system write protection on S-ON devices, and here is a handy mod for you to bypass it. Original mod by flar2, I modified it to work on MM GPE.
Instructions:
You have to use the traditional root method above to make this work!!
Flash m8-mmgpe-wp_mod.zip in attachment
Sweep to Sleep module
A handy mod to turn of the screen by swiping the bottom of the screen. Original mod by flar2, I modified it to work on MM GPE.
Instructions:
This will flash files to system, there is no point in using systemless method, it ot should be OK
Flash m8-mmgpe-s2s_mod.zip in attachment
FAQ
Q: After choosing full wipe, my contents in internal storage are all gone!!
A: No, it's not. It's a new behavior of Marshmallow. After each clean flash, it will move all previous files in /sdcard into /sdcard/0. You can just move them back to the proper locations.
Q: I cannot install Busybox in system / I cannot use adaway !!
A: Flash wp_mod.
Q: I used systemless root and wanted to keep my system partition intact, how do I install Busybox?
A: Download Busybox Pro, type /su/bin as the installation path for busybox. You cannot do it using the free version, unfortunately.
Q: **** app cannot access external SDcard!!
A: Look at this explanation:
Since Kitkat(2 years ago man), we don't have direct external storage write permission. Google consider it insecure, so they implemented this feature. The reason why you can access external SDcard easily before is because most roms on XDA already contains a hack in /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml. You should not rely on this hack forever, please take a look below.
In lollipop and after, Google provided a much secure and better way to grant external storage access to third party apps, first of all take a look at this article for details:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...s-automatic-mediastore-and-improves-security/
So instead of using the old platform.xml hack in the old Kitkat days, adopt yourself with this new behavior of Android!! If a certain app cannot access SDcard, ASK THE DEVELOPER to add support for this API!!
Many apps already have support for this API. I'll take Titanium Backup for example, as lots of you cannot find the way to use it on externals SD. In Menu>>Preferences>>Backup Location, you can choose Document Provider on top of the detect button.
In the provider, open the menu on the top right corner and select "Show SDcard", then you'll see External Storage in the left side. Select external SDcard in the document provider and press the button on the bottom, the app will then be granted access to the whole external storage. You can then create a new folder in TiBack and select it as your backup location.
Other apps also follows the instructions above, you just have to manually set up the folder where the app can access, in the case which most of us would love to give access to the whole SDcard, I set the location to the root of external storage. Each app has independent permission, so you have to manually grant each app you wish to access external storage.
Q: I want OTA, what should I do?
A: Look at the following info
To accept OTA updates, you need the following:
Your MID should be 0P6B17000
Your CID should be GOOGL001
You have to fully convert to GPE
You have to keep system partition untouched
You have to have GPE stock recovery
So before anything, if you want to accept OTA, you have to change MID, CID, and convert to GPE. The tricky part is the system partition and the recovery. The easiest way is when the OTA comes, flash the stock rom again without root, flash GPE stock recovery through fastboot, then apply OTA. But if you like to go the hardcore way, here comes a tutorial:
fastboot flash systemless_boot.img
fastboot boot TWRP.img(so that you can use TWRP but you didn't actually flash it)
Flash systemless SuperSU
By doing so you can accept OTA at anytime.
Q: Are there any mods around?
A: Because of the difficulty of file based flashing, modded GPE MM might take a while to appear.
You can use Xposed Framework, as it now officially support Marshmallow.

Try copy a random file to system (or remove an system app you don't like) using root explorer and reboot and see if it sticks. I haven't used v4a for years, and I'm not sure if it is something about selinux or other possible reasons.
Also I'm not sure if the su.d script is executing correctly(because stock rom lack init.d support I tried su.d), try this also:
First reboot the device, before doing any modifications to system open terminal on the phone and type:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
then do the system modification tests.
Thanks a lot!!

Just posting to say that the Systemless Root method worked great for me. Able to successfully modify /System files and folders (verified changes were still there after reboot), restored some apps, Messages, and Call Log using Titanium, and Android Pay is still working after rooting.
Thanks JW!
Is there any way to flash TWRP without PC if you don't have root...??
Well, whatever I try, V4A keeps asking for drivers. I have selinux permissive (selinux mode changer app) and flashed the wp_mod from here. Adaway and other changes to the system partition stick. Any ideas?

Tweaked the contents of the boot image to allow for faster boot and better runtime performance. I use it as my daily driver. App performance is snappier. Only for the Boost Desire 626s. Unzip and flash with Flashify, TWRP, or your choice of image flasher. I also added some optimization scripts to supplement the boot image. Run them with Smanager, Root Explorer or in the terminal. Also here is a zip 601626SPIEFIX.zip that when flashed in TWRP recovery will allow the system to run non-pie executables and it works great. You'll be able to run custom binaries without any issue or error. All zips in this thread are the latest.
If you have ISSUES WITH DATA SPEEDS in certain areas, especially if you tether, GO INTO THE DIALER and DIAL *#*#4636#*#* then ACCESS PHONE INFORMATION and SELECT CDMA auto (PRL) UNDER SET PREFERRED NETWORK TYPE. LTE seems to be problematic in certain areas with speeds dropping to 150kbps and with this solution you'll be getting about 600 to 700kbps so at least it'll be a gain until you get into an area with better LTE coverage. In a good coverage area, I get download speeds of up to 5 to 7 mbps with LTE on, but in bad areas, CDMA works better. If you want to tether with a wireless third party solution make sure to run in a terminal window or adb shell as root : pm disable com.htc.tetheringguard

ANDBLOCKDEV.sh from scripts zip will speed up file input and output speeds, its contents have been incorporated into the boot image so the scripts files are for your own archival.
The zip DESIRE626SIMGTOOL.zip contains the android image kitchen and the 6.0.1 Boost Desire 626S boot image contents already extracted into two folders split_img and ramdisk with recent modifications. Enjoy!
http://www.vysor.io/ is a great tool to control your android device from a computer within chrome. You should try it out.
I provided a zip named HTCDrivers.zip containing the installation for both fastboot and adb drivers for the Boost Desire 626S, and minimal adb and fastboot. This will help you connect your device up with Vysor.
COPY the FILES; fastboot.exe, adb.exe, AdbWinUsbApi.dll and AdbWinApi.dll FROM - C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot - TO - C:\Windows\System32 - AND - C:\Windows\SysWOW64
Once you have installed the drivers for HTC devices,
and copied the minimal adb and fastboot files specified above to both system folders, you should be able to run adb commands without a problem by just opening a command prompt as administrator,
and RUNNING the command:
adb devices
- to start the adb server. This will allow connection with Vysor.

For those who prefer nightbreed813's 6.0.1 slim rom version, I uploaded 601VPNDIALOGSFIX.zip to fix the issue with authorizing VPN clients, but first YOU HAVE TO CREATE /system/priv-app/VpnDialogs in Root Explorer or any other root filesystem browser, then reboot to TWRP recovery and flash the zip.

Also, you can get your MSL/SPC security code easily.........
Use the info in this thread to get your MSL/SPC security code so you can write new values to NV entries in the modem. Some values are locked but you can change the BC config for both LTE and CDMA so that would at least be helpful.
INFO HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spri...k-sim-t3314755

Android settings can be changed in the terminal for three namespaces; system, global and secure.
In the terminal run:
settings list system
settings list global
settings list secure
For each namespace all associated settings and their values will be listed. To change a setting type:
settings put system setting_name_here value_here
settings put global setting_name_here value_here
settings put secure setting_name_here value_here

Will this run on the Metro Variant?
As far as I know no but you can try in case it might.
Enter these commands in a new terminal window:
cd /dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name
dd if=boot of=/sdcard/backup.img
The backup boot image can be flashed from the sdcard in TWRP recovery if the device fails to boot into the system after flashing the boot image contained in the zip in the attachments.
Is there anyway you would be able to make one for the metro Variant if i upload my boot image?

Did you try unzipping the boot image and flashing it already? I don't think it could work that way. I would do it if I had the metro version myself.

Backup your kernel boot image to your sdcard and flash the boost version just to make sure.
cd /dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name
dd if=boot of=/sdcard/backup.img
Then unzip the 601bootimg.zip file with Zarchiver in the Play Store and flash the extracted boot image.

Flash back the backed up boot image in TWRP and see if the sdcard mounts right. The mount point contained in the boost boot image is probably wrong for the the sdcard/emmc in the metropcs phone.
I did but my sdcard got corrupted so i was forced to format it.

I'm so sorry the process turned out to be a dud for you I have the boost model myself. Hope you can recover your files with one of those forensic data recovery tools.

Use the tool at the link below to unpack the image, make your modifications, and repack the image contents (The ramdisk and split_img folders.) It's available for Windows, Linux and Android. It's a simple process expect for knowing what you'd need to do to the image.

My mistake i was in a hurry when i typed that last reply.
Im aware of how to unpack/repack boot images and i appreciate the link,but i was wondering what modifications that were made.if youd prefer not to share,i can upload my boot image if youd like to make the modifications yourself.im just trying to make this compatible with the metro version.
The same modifications done for the Boost Desire 626S might not work well for the MetroPCS version so upload the image you backed up yesterday as an attachment in a reply post and I'll work on it.
Thanks a ton!

Run busybox top in the terminal on your phone and post some screenshots so I can see what might need to be done. We want to see what processes would be the culprit behind bogging down precious processor time and reducing the snappiness of the device in reacting to realtime input and handling current requests.
