[Q] Custom Roms on Republic Wireless XT1049 - has anyone had any luck getting calls?

Hi there,

I am having an incredible amount of trouble finding any recent posts about people that have tried to use a custom ROM on a Republic Wireless device - is there any documentation of the process at all? And if not, do you think it would be safe for me to try without Republic ending my service? I'd love to just flash CyanogenMod in TWRP, but have no idea if it would be safe to go back to a stock RW ROM should things fail. I really really just want to get off of 4.4.2...

The only person I've been able to find that's tried it out is bstevens23, who seems to have completely dropped off the internet within the last 5 months. All I know is that he got the Republic app working and wasable to receive texts to/from his internal "hidden" Sprint number.

Also, on an unrelated note, would it be stupid to just get all my RW #'s calls/texts forwarded to my Google Hangouts number and just ditch Republic completely? (Assuming they don't ditch my service, that is...) I now live in an area that almost always has both cell and wifi, so I don't really need the hybrid stuff anymore.

No luck restoring water boarded edge, last rites?

I'd love some advice if there is anything left to try to restore my t-mobile s6 edge (g925t). It was submerged in water for only a few seconds. Took it to the Tekdry machine inside Staples, which dried it out completely. Still not booting up.

I can get into download mode. I've tried reflashing the stock rom (epf1) with both Odin 3.10.6 and 3.10.7, and tried the repartition option with the original pit file. It always hangs at NAND writing. I've tried the smart switch emergency recovery, but it doesn't recognize the phone. I've tried reinstalling Samsung drivers, and rebooting.

I've attached a photo of where the write stops. I've heard of jtag repair. Is that a real option at this point? Thanks.
