SCH-I545 rooted, unlocked, refuses to accept Boost Mobile SIM - HALP!

So, yeah, we finally moved away from Verizon and I gave up my grandfathered unlimited data plan (*cry*) and we went to boost. And now I want to split heads in frustration, because no matter what I do, I cannot get my Boost SIM card to work in my S4. The best I get is "This is not a Verizon SIM card" and constant roaming/searching for signal.

Some Deets -
  • SCH-I545
  • 5.0.1 OF1 stang5litre custom ROM
  • Locked Bootloader (OF1 ;( )
  • FlashFire
  • Pushed Universal_Boost_APN_Fix-R2
  • The push worked, can see two new APN's in my networks, both are selectable (unlike verizon), but neither finds a tower.
  • I could never get manually setting APN's to stick, regardless of what I tried, they always disappear :( :(
  • I am using a SIM card adapter to make it fit the S4's slot
  • Hangouts doesn't seem to have a network option anymore?
  • Have Samsung Galaxy TouchWiz MMS Fix - Boost.zip but haven't pushed
  • Neither Boost's online website nor their customer service will accept my IMEI and change what info they expect from the SIM, but my understanding was that that was not necessary and even that that information updates itself automatically (suspicious of the activation charges that boost store charged me)

It's late and that's all I got right now for you guys, but I will check back tomorrow and will post pictures and any other relevant data I can think of in the morning. Any help is GREATLY appreciated as my substitute kyocera I never got a case for (because well it was supposed to be temp) and a couple well placed drops have rendered all but a third of my screen unviewable and Im a poor boy and I wont be able to afford a new phone any time soon.

Thanks you guys for everything, the forums here have already been a wealth of information and I would not be where I was already without all the hours I poured into researching the issues and solutions. You guys are awesome, please help me finish getting this girl up and running on Boost!
