SPH-L520 Roms

[zacktack]

I've been looking all over and there only seems to be unofficial cm roms for the Sprint variant of the s4 mini. Where's PA or Slim for this model? xda seems inundated with roms for the gt variants of the s4 mini but sph has very little. Anyone know why that is?

I havent found much but im a noob. I have the same phone how did you happen to root and did you install a recovery? Oh also are you on KitKat?

I used Kongo root. It was very easy to root. I'm on the unofficial cm12.1 ROM. Is great but it doesn't have pie controls which is something I got used to when I was using liquidsmooth ROM on my last phone and really liked. Its nice to have android L though and everything runs very smoothly.

Wow no way! Do you know where I could get a recovery and a stable cm rom to flash to my sprint l520? Also do you mean kingo root? Oh also should I update to 4.4.2 before trying to root?Thank you!

I don't know if you need to update or not. I doubt you would need to but don't take my word for it.

Doesn't it say lte and SMS arent work on that rom?
Also was your phone on 4.4.2 when you did it?
Did you use kingoroot or kingroot?
Do you know how I flash the recovery?

they're working fine for me. Yeah, I believe so. Kingoroot. I got a microsd card from walmart and put the recovery and I think I put the flashr apk on it if I remember correctly and flashed it through that on the rom that I had that was broken (the haptic feedback buttons weren't working and it was meant for the gsm model so it couldn't connect to mobile or wifi and it had a whole host of other issues but it was capable of installing apps on my sd card). Then I went into recovery and flashed the sph-l520 rom and everything's been good with it so far.

You used a flash app like flashify from the rom to flash the recovery? Cool
