Has anyone gotten the 4.4.2 update yet. Running ND8 right now but hoping maybe I can switch out modems when VM releases their version.

Kernel source for "VMU" is not out yet on the Samsung Opensource Release Center, so 4.4.2 is not out yet for Boost/VM. If you ever want to get a good indicator of an OTA coming, just check that site, under your phone model, because they release the kernel before, or simultaneously, as the update. And believe me, the minute it drops, I'll be zipping them up for you guys.
Does anyone have another download link/mirror. The one provided by OP isn't working for me. It stays searching for mirrors. It would be much appreciated!
AFH may have been down for repairs. I just tried it and it's working. Did you get it working yet? Let me know. Thanks!Does anyone have another download link/mirror. The one provided by OP isn't working for me. It stays searching for mirrors. It would be much appreciated!

Hey y'all... Quick question. How does one determine which MK version they have? (I.e. MK5, MK7) Thanks!
should be settings/about device - then a bit down and it will list baseband version - I threw in a screeny - mite be a little different depending on phone -
VM SIII - jdsingle76's MK5 4.3
decimalman's TW dkp kernel
VM SIII - jdsingle76's MK5 4.3
decimalman's TW dkp kernel
You rock the casbah, remote hugger!!! Thank you so much! One more quicky... I'm on KitKat now (AOKP) which I believe has KNOX in it... if I downgrade to this ROM, will I still be subject to KNOX?

EXCELLENT! For some reason, I thought I read that it did. So, thank you so much for cleaning that up for me, Bilgerryan!

Gotcha... ok... so I knew I read that somewhere... just it was a different ROM *grin*... One last question (promise!), given that I'm downgrading should I flash with another kernel or use the one that's baked into the ROM?
PS - The reason I'm downgrading is because my signal is just crap... usually I have 4 of 5 bars on 4G and now, it's barely even registering 3G... I know that KitKat ROMs have to a work around for data but it's not "working around" just right for my device. So, my assumption is that if I run a ROM that's a rooted stock ROM (without all that virgin mobile sheeite) then my radio should work properly. Is that an accurate assessment? (Ok, I lied... two questions.

The one that's baked in is the stock Samsung kernel. I would recommend KToonsez or dkp in the Original Development section (make sure it's TW4.3)Gotcha... ok... so I knew I read that somewhere... just it was a different ROM *grin*...

Ok, sure will do that. Hope it beefs up the radio... this signal is abysmal! Thank you SOOOOO very much for your recommendations. Do KToonsez straight away. Cheers! :good:
Cheers! :good:Is this all fixed now, where you don't have superuser ect in there anymore?Alright folks, we're up and running. Just as the title says, this is the MK5 Boost/Virgin Mobile 4.3 update in flashable zip. Stock, zipaligned, basic. More to come in the future, but this should be enough to keep you busy for awhile. Enjoy!

Issues:This is an early run, so I’m sure there might be hiccups. You tell me!
ATTENTION!!!. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 4.3 FIRMWARE. AKA THE KNOX BOOTLOADER! SO HAVE NO FEAR OF FLASHING THIS BECAUSE OF KNOX!!!
Also what is the difference with odoxed and deodoxed?
I lost my IMEI, baseband and other settings after flashing this rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/help/lost-imei-baseband-phone-information-t3172440
I probably did something wrong but do you know how I could fix this for sure?
