Wondering if any one can suggest a custom rom that will work with a LG G2 Sprint ls980 on Boost mobile? I am rooted on the ZVI update and think Autorec will work but don't see the point unless I can flash a rom for this phone that won't screw it up and put it on Sprint's info or bootloop/brick etc.. I haven't seen much of any one mentioning roms for a LG G2 Sprint ls980 on Boost mobile.
if theres is any it will be listed.. click on my signature where it says here it has all roms there plus many helpful guides..
All ROM for Sprint works for Boost Mobile too.

Yeah, but does it mess with the network settings (since the ROM is for Sprint)? I've read somewhere that it did but can't find it now.

As far as I know, you can't provision your MSL after installed any 3rd party ROM such as CM12. Instead, you can provision your device with the stock ROM and then install the 3rd party ROM. You don't need to set up anything again.

So..since I've already had the phone switch to boost from sprint via the boost rep and have been running stock...loading a new ROM should keep my network settings etc the same?

I have a HTC Vogue (100) w/WM6.1 that a friend gave me and have been considering Flashing over to MetroPCS. I know the phone will do talk/text and even though MetroPCS says no DATA, I see people have enabled that as well with flashed ROMs. So now i'm just a bit confused as to the proper steps to take:
1) Do I unlock/flash the phone before or after MetroPCS flashes it to their system?
2) If MetroPCS assumes no DATA do I have to convince them to put me on a DATA plan anyway in order to set up DATA?
Sorry for what may seem to others as basic knowledge but I could quite figure this stuff out - information overload.
Thanks,

To flash the device, follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592964
My Rom is pre-configured to work with MetroPCS, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652271
And to set up MetroPCS web and MMS, follow the directions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448955
You have to have data from MetroPCS in order to get data to work (the $40 plan includes it already)
Good luck!

Thank you for the links and the fast reply... I still need to know if I flash the ROM before or after MetroPCS flashes the phone?
As long as you're putting a WinMo ROM on it, it shouldn't matter which one it is.

I'm sorry. I don't understand how that answers my question.
You can flash the ROM before you bring it to MetroPCS if you want. I don't think it matters to them what ROM is on the phone for them to activate it, as long as it's a Windows Mobile ROM and not Android.

Ok, update:
Successfully flashed the imcokeman 2.31 bootloader and flashed the ROM as linked to above by egzthunder1. No problems so far as I can tell. I have not been to MetroPCS to activate it yet. The only thing i've played with so far is GPS but I am not getting any satellites. I did change the Settings->Personal->Location to ON from 911 but still no go.

Actually, it does matter because Houdini soft will likely not recognize anything above 6.1 (phone codes simply will not work from a custom rom with a custom skinned dialer). If you successfully unlocked it, there is no need to re-lock it or anything like that. Just flash back to stock, and then take it to MetroPCS. Once the device has been configured, you can switch roms. This is necessary because most MPCS customer reps are not familiar with any of these.
Thanks for the info, that's what I was looking for. Now to just locate that stock rom and away we go.
Thanks again!

Just a quick update. I downloaded .40 unlocker and the stock Verizon ROM and successfully flashed my Vogue back to stock. It did hit a hickup erroring out at 8% on the first try but the software was able to recover correctly. I don't recall the exact error but I know it has to do with the USB connection. When I unplugged/replugged the phone it didn't switch back to the USB connection (on the phone), it stayed on Serial. Second attempt worked perfectly.
I still haven't made it to MetroPCS to flash the phone yet though.
Hello. I flashed a Sprint LG G2 to PagePlus. The Flash goes well and All my items stick. But the problem is the connection is unstable. I'm noticed with both the LS970 and LS980 the same problem happens. The mobile data will first connect with 1x then to Evdo. Then the network will disconnect. I flash phones to pageplus all the time and they all have 3G - EVDO. But the unstable 3G is crazy. It will not stay connected. Why are the new LG phones like this? Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution? I look forward to people's reply because I know a lot of people have run into this problem. Thanks in advanced.

Hello. Absolutely! That's my personal phone! Just make sure when you flash it, you leave the SIM card in the phone. 3g data works, mms, etc. Good luck.

The flashing method is same for all phones. Doesn't matter what kind. I'll give you a good starting place. Viper32 has a forum on here helping people with flashing. And there are plenty of forums with a ton of info. Good luck.
this g2 has been a nightmare for me. i have gotten used to samsung just flash and forget about it, only thing break flash on them is ota. this g2 though..... :/
I'm having same issue. unstable 3g
Sprint probs
What happened with mines is similar but I had the att variant
So I flashed mime to sprint and it worked but only on their 1x network and 3g towers in order for 4g to work and there new spark network I had to get a Sim card and pop it in and boom 4g LTE worked the sec I put it in

No. Call history has nothing to do with flashing. The only way you can lose call history is if you factory reset the phone or you personally delete the call history yourself.

Actually its a known issue with this phone, that it looses its call history when flashed.
It has something to do with the Stock ROM release
I have the same issue.
Also I get a "MIP : 89" error sometimes.
Also, I have a system update downloaded waiting to install but not sure if it'll kill my flash so I've been scared to hit the button.

Is your phone the LS980? I had a customer who updated his LS980 this past week and I had to re-flash his phone. You'll probably have to re-flash as well.

Im about to do the same thing, ill let you know how it goes..
MetroPCS is under T-Mobile's network so it should work. I'm using a verizon Lg G2 on T-Mobile and it works fine. You just have to root it and load a custom rom like CM or anything like it. The stock rom of the verizon G2 won't recognize a T-Mobile sim card so that's why you have to load a custom rom.
Just wondering if you were able to make it work? because I got a Verizon G2 with Cloudy G3 ROM and it wont work on Metro.
Try choosing the T-Mobile variant. That's what I did to get simple mobile Sim card to work, but do not do it if your scared it's going brick your phone. I don't have the vs980 I have the ls980 and it worked.

I have a rooted Verizon LG G2 (VS 980) that I would like to put stock firmware on. I dont want Verizon's version because I dont like the way they tampered with a few of the apps. I've seen the posts about going back to stock but they all seem to point you to use your carrier's version. Does anyone know where I can find the method to use LG's stock G2 firmware?

Hello,[emoji4] , you can't use no other version of your device, but the Verizon Variant, because if you do so, you'll brick your device because the International Unlocked model and the Verizon Model is different, and even if you did(I don't recommend) install the International Unlocked Model, you'll still need Verizon's Sim Card, and once you've inserted the Sim Card, the Carrier will still install its Bloatware.

Quickly looked in the Verizon section of the forum and the "[ROM] XDABBEB's VS98024A v1.2.1" seems to be the most popular de-branded option which is non CM based. The cook removed the 3rd party apps, so most likely the Verizon bloat is gone. See the thread here and good luck.

Sorry, can't help you there.
So I've been getting kind of angry that T-Mobile hasn't updated the phone to KitKat and I tried something on my own. Flashing the MetroPCS KitKat software version on my device via Odin. Guess what? It worked. The only thing was that after it updated all the apps, it installed some MetroPCS bloatware. I don't mind that but this is awesome that I was actually able to install the SGH-T399N software on the SGH-T399. Try it for yourself and let me know how it went for you.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that would brick my phone since that's for the SGH-T399N. I have the SGH-T399. Oh and BTW I know they are both pretty much the same, but if I were to flash that, it would probably screw up.

I bet you can port KK to this if you have a stock rom and metro's stock rom with Kitchen.
I have a stock rom zip here:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347774930
there's a metro KK stock rom zip you can google it.
I think there's a storage mount file you need for kitchen, I wrote one if you need it just ask (i have it in my linux partition, which I'm not on now).
Oh and always have a backup.

If you don't see enough development for this phone now and don't want to wait, then don't buy it. Don't flash something not made for your phone unless you have a backup.
Other than that the phone has a well balanced spec sheet for the price.
