Virgin Mobile Root Question. - General Questions and Answers

Virgin Mobile Root Question.
It is time for me to upgrade my phone again and I was curious, which of the following phones are easiest to root, my last phone that I was able to root was the HTC Incredible (the LG Optimus Elite I could not).
Also which of the following phones are any good. The last VM phone I got (optimus elite) sucks donkey balls.
Here is the list of phones I am looking at, they all have OS 4.0
HTC Evo V (4G)
HTC One V
Samsung Galaxy Reverb
Thanks In advance.

Heard the evo v is basically a revamped og evo.
I just got the virgin optimus elite this past weekend rooted it in about ten minutes. The only ***** I've come across is finding a custom recovery for it

[Q] Root Evo Shift Like Evo

I am wondering if you can root the shift like the evo. I recently rooted my evo to the cm7 v2. My wife has the shift and wants her phone to be like mine. I don't want to brick her phone without knowing if the mod will work with her phone.
can u root the evo shift running gingerbread
Hi I have a HTC EVO shift 4G running 2.3.3 I did not perform the OTA update. I have tried gingerbreak and it did not work. I'm through sprint. I used to be through at&t and used to have 3 sgs captivated all 3 rooted and running phoenix unleashed. I rooted em using GST tweaker. I tell u this cause I'm no noob when it comes to rooting, unlocking, jailbreaking idevices etc. I've been doing this for 3 years. However I have no way to get to a pc. Is there a apk I can get from 4shared to root my shift running gingerbread other than gingerbreak. I tried gingerbreak like 5 times I followed the posts and still nothing. If anyone can help please let me know. Thanks. Oh and on another note is their anyway of running sega cd games or emulators on Android? I ask because sega will not be porting sonic 4 episode 1 to Android so I've read any help on any of these again please let me know

[Q] HTC Desire Cdma to cricket (Help)

Ok, so I recent bought an HTC desire from ebay for like $80 and i wanted to flash it over to cricket. The carrier that was on the phone was Alltel wireless.
I've had followed this tutorial since HTC evo is similar to my phone:
http://www.mycricketforum.com/sprin...cricket-2-2-froyo-talk-text-mms-internet.html
I had no success. I tried using cyangenmod 7 and 6, and 2.2 froyo sense stock rom(for the programming part).
What I basicaly did was change the number on the phone and the carrier appears unknown in the stock rom but US Cellular in the cmd 7 or 6 rom.
Ive also use this to enable web and the cricket carrier:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730289
When i used it it gave me the cricket banner but no service on the cmd 7 and 6. No effect on the 2.2 froyo sense stock rom though.
For the qpst programing ive used this tut:
http://www.mycricketforum.com/flash...ming/6450-qpst-tutorial-pictures-cricket.html
I did everything it said and it still doesn't work with my phone. Is this the only tutorial in this forum?
Well the main point I'm trying to get here is help on the flash my HTC desire over to cricket. Anyone is welcome to guide me into the right direction.

I'm coming from the droid x world of rooting and flashing so this is new to me and not taking chances of bricking
Sorry if this question has been asked or answered, but I couldn't find it and I'm tired of looking, so a simple yes or no to this question would be great, thanks
this is how i accomplished S-OFF & Recovery with my Metro Wildfire S

however for root i followed this guide since 1 click would not work for me.

i know its intended for the virgin mobile version but it worked for the metro variant as well. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK THOUGH.

[Q] CWM for Lg Viper?

I currently have an LG Viper Running on Official LG 4.0.4 ICS package and i'm rooted. I'm looking at ROM Manager right now and there seems to be no CWM Recovery for my phone. This spurs two questions in my mind:
1. Is it safe to flash a CWM built for a different phone but same make?
-The options i'm given made by LG are: LG Connect 4g MS840, LG Lucid VS840, LGE Esteem 4g, LGE Optimus M+, LGE Revolution 4g, LGE Spectrum 4g
2. If not, is there a workable CWM for the phone? If there isn't, can I expect one anytime soon?
Simple answer is no unless someone decides to port it.

I know this is an old thread but flashing any sister device recovery will bootloop the viper. We do finally have custom recovery abs basic roms if you downgrade back to gingerbread...but as of now ics dev is on halt, major locked boot loader. I already had my viper replaced six times and had terrible customer service experiences , so I found a number for a sprint corporate executive, mailed me a Samsung galaxy nexus 4g lte the next day. I'm pleased, although it's a year old phone, none of these issues, bigger screen, much better resolution, 32 gig internal sd, :/ 4.1.2 vanilla, and more mods roms and kernels then I can try :/. A lot of us purchased this viper based on specs, which seem great, unfortunately the phone isn't...
