Your problem is a lot more complicated than I originally thought. Hard to find stock firmware for Sprint MVNO (Boost) version.
Have a look at this thread.

Post #39 is supposed to have link to firmware that should work.
Seems that to get any of the custom ROMs to have data/wifi, you had to pick one based on the original stock firmware that was on your phone when you started. Any miss match borks data.

Samsung firmware is sequenced alphanumeric from old to new. QF4 is older firmware than QL2. Most of the time, it's harder to downgrade or flash a older version than to update to newer firmware.
This will explain the difference between odex and deodex

Deknoxed means they removed all or most of the Samsung Knox security features.

I'm kinda out of ideas. I know that thread at XDA hasn't been active for a while, but maybe worth creating a account and asking there. Hopefully someone may have a current copy of the firmware or be able to point you in the right direction.
