I am giving one of my flashed phones that I was using on Page Plus Cellular (Boost Moto G XT1031) to a friend who wants to use it on Boost Mobile . The phone was flashed using using the procedure here- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2681166. The phone has the unlocked bootloader and is running stock VZ 4.4.4. I know that I have to change the SPC back to original (I saved it ) Can I simply flash it back from VZW 4.4.4 to one of the available earlier stock Boost stock roms 4.4.2, 4.4.3 (don't want to brick it) ?. Any help in making this phone useable on Boost Mobile is appreciated -Thanks.

You should just be able to change the SPL back to what it was originally and flash the factory firmware and be good to go. Do the factory activation after you flash *228 or whatever it is.

There was a filesystem change between 4.3 and 4.4.2 but if you are just flash 4.4 you should be fine. Just make sure to follow the appropriate flashing guide.

If there were any other specific changes you had to make when changing to Page Plus in CDMA workshop you may have to revert those, but I don't think there really was.

OK. - I will give it try when the Boost Mobile XT1031 Moto G 4.4.4 ROM ( 4.4.4 Blur_Version.175.44.1.falcon_cdma.Boost.en.US) image shows up at one of the hosting sites mentioned in this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2546251

4.4.4 makes changes to the trustedzone. You will not be able to downgrade. You'll need to wait until boost 4.4.4 firmware is released.
