Have the shortest time to addiction

Hi, my name is kernelguy (OK, that is not my real name).

I stumbled upon xda-developers one weekday, and I could only last till the next weekend before starting to flash ROMs. It is 2.30 am and I have just finished a flash.

The upside is that I told my wife that iPhone may not be that easy to flash, and she is thinking of buying me one as soon as they start selling here!

Hello, My name is Johnny.

I have a serious problem. I cant stop flashing. Every night I lay in bed with my gf, I get up in the middle of the night just to flash and check for new roms. Every morning I look at my MDA just to see if anything has or needs to be flashed. Sometimes I think the chefs are just putting something "extra" in their roms just to help feed our addictions. Well we all know that good ol saying " If you cant beat em join em". I have been reading for a long time now but only been flashing for a couple of months.

Has anyone found a cure?

Not a cure, but you can start cooking and then feed your addiction whenever you need a "fix".

The "cure" to the cooking addiction is to publicly release your creation. Guarenteed to leave a bad taste in your mouth after awhile as Noobs run into problems and blame everything (including their sink draining slowly) on the rom you made... Sheesh... ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Clayfree:
Hi my name is Clay and I'm addicted to flashing rom. How bad is it you ask? Well we just purchased an HTC Tornado for my son. He will use the phone, wifi, audio and video capabilities. He was proud of it and wanted to show it off at a party that night. That's when I had to break the bad news to him that he would have to leave it with because I needed to do some "work" on it that night.

Now flashing yur own rom is bad enough but when you involve your children, well, that has to be rock bottom. I finally admitted my problem and bought my own phone off ebay. The sad news is that I own an iPhone and love it but there is no tweaking to be done so I have to feed my habit with HTC's :(

WM6 for my WIZA100

WM6 Official Release MS 10.0.15342.0

Where can one find a clean copy of it. The links on this forum don't work and I am a first time flasher. I have a couple of basic questions.

I am using the WIZA100 in India. So I am sure the phone is SIM unlocked. But I don't want to CID unlock it since I feel it may be alsready CID unlocked. How do I tell if it is already CID unlocked.

Moreover which WM6 ROM is the cleanest ROM with no problems and everything working. Also where to find this dream ROM for my WIZA100.

Thanks Guys

No wonder you're so good with this stuff.. I see your name everywhere.. great work BTW.

Before I read this thread, I didn't think I was addicted.. but, I'm realizing I am..

Frustrated- can't flash my rom to wm6

Hello everyone, I upgraded to the t-mobile 2.26 us rom before i unlocked the phone, so my question is--- has anyone successfully flashed their rom after this upgrade? I have tried all unlocking procedures provided on this site, and no luck. I read somewhere that the 2.26 rom is unlockable at this point, need info from you experts, thank you. Ps- sorry, my phone is the t-mobile mda.

I previously had a motorola e398.. I flashed it several times a week

It became an addiction, and pissed off my wife big time.

I then bought a HTC Wizard, and I think what can you do to a WINDOWS device? tampering with registry, putting up useless applications, and stuff.. that's the max.. considering that's what happen to my xp.

But I was WRONG, big time. The moment I saw xda-developers, I was like, " OH SH*T.. here we go again, the same download-extract-flash routine"

And so it happen until now. The same routine.

The worst thing is, I managed to convince my wife to hand-over her Nokia N73, I guess TWO is better (or worse?) than one ...

But yesterday I have flashed Most Beautiful ver; using Shell tool and all went OK but It get freezed my PC and Wizard half way.

Now when I am power on, It get stuck on splash screen.

I have tried soft resetting and hard resetting. But no luck.

Still I can go to Bootloader Mode(Multi colour screen).

I'm an addict too... I admit it.... :( but my adiction is not only to flash ROMs... also, I love to install ALL stuff out there for WM, test it for a while and then uninstall it...

I'm constantly looking for new tools, programs, reg hacks, and so on to apply them to my Wizard....

I thought that by bricking my first wizard will stop my adiction, but no: I bought a new one and also recovered my first Wizard from the death (using JTAG hardware trick) so I have now 2 Wizards to test ROMs in parallel....

I lost my girlfriend but I now have a beauty new one :D, I bricked a Wizard but recovered it and now I have 2 to play :cool: , I'm always looking XDA forum page but it make me able to help others to recover their phones or tell them how to do it without suffering what i suffered, I spend too much time installing/freezing/uninstalling stuff on my wizard but it makes me know which are really the best tools for us and their pros and cons... so it isn't so bad to be an addict, or is it?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] raskell:
Your reading is perhaps only partly correct. In order to unlock successfully, you need to be at IPl 1.x and a 1.x.x OS which is why you need to flash the Button .5 ROM first, then follow the unlock procedures, then flash the T-Mobile ROM, then the wm6 ROM. Flashing the T-Mobile ROM just gets you a stable and consistent SHIP ROM as a starting point and it clears out possible residual 'code' that may be hung up in the exted ROM, Etc... Read Dr. Puttingham's guide a bit closer. I missed it the first time out as well, but it is ALL THERE. If you can not upgrade to WM6 then you are not unlocked!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tkdsl:
When I Started I did not know it was like that

Updating the OS Is like a gift every time I do it.

New OS new features new way of using it. This is why it is so tempting to flash the OS every time a new comes out.:)

solution

Ok mate I found a solution for this I don't know if what happened to you is getting your phone bricked but I sort it out.

you have to get your mini sd card empty and put the enterbootloader.exe in it. you can found it in several roms (wizardlove) that have the enterbootloader.exe in it.

then turn off taking the battery; wait 30 seconds put the card and turn on.

you should be able to get to the in to the boot loader mode plug the usb and put the original rom.

hope it works if not try same procedure with hard reset.

it worked for me good luck:)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] basha:
Thanks for your comment.

I found out another method

After you stuck on splash screen, Your device wont detect by activesync to use with RUU (rom upgrade utility) tool. But still you can go to Bootloader mode (rainbow screen) by holding camera button while you soft reset the phone. Run the RUU tool after you manualy set the bootloder mode. RUU tool will detect your device on USB with bootloader mode (your PC not giving any sign of usb connectin but RUU detect your devise)

Othewise RUU toll give you 'error message 260'

This method was worked for me and I have flashed MB Rom using RUU.

Upgrade question.

Hi guys! I'm following the guides in upgrading and I just have a question on this:

17. My suggestion, take for what it's worth, is to download and install the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM

This will give you a strong 2.26 IPL and SPL to work with.

Now you SHOULD have a IPL and SPL of 2.26 to work with. If not, you screwed up! Don't attempt to install someone's hard work and ***** before you do these steps!

EDIT for Step 17 - Download and install the 3.08 IPL/SPL rather than the 2.26, your choice!

Question:

1. Instead of using the 2.26 ROM can I use the one posted on this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=311027

Official WWE Aku 3.3 Rom (Radio 2.69, IPL/SPL 3.08)

http://www.t-mobile.hr/mdasw/RUU_Pro...R_WWE_Ship.zip

2. Or can I flash the WM6 rom right away?

Thanks

Hello My Name is....

Hi my name is Noonski, and i'm addicted with flashing my phone.

I thought I had it under control after making my own CTU-Versatel homescreen on a flashed and unlocked SDA. I even remember my O2 XDA, and how cool I felt having 2003se on it. Then I got a Wizard and things got worse. I ran stable on a Faria aku 3.3 and was clean for months. Untill I saw this Thing called AD2P and other Standard WM6 goodies. I couldn't resist the name Faria Crossbow Real Thing. And it got worse. I even tried Faria's first kitchen and I knew I shouldn't, I got a few working builds but more freezes. And to be totally honest through all my devices, the main kick is after sweating for hours on a Phone that just doesn't want to flash in Bootloader, that I can finally go to sleep when it does. It is the worry and the fear of the worry that makes my blood vanes pump. Then Varia just left the Wizard forum like a lone cowboy heading for the next town called Hermes. And I felt there was a big hole that went missing on the Wizard thread. And new thugs started showing up because it just became to easy. I haven't touched the kitchens, but also understand that I'm lying, I have. I don't want the kitchen to work I want to worry and sweat and learn. And then after years of reading and shutting up in the presence of Those I Call The Real Developers. I saw people ask questions I would never dare ask. And then Touch came to wizard and everything started spiraling out of control. Then the Core kitchen then my wizard broke.. Help please help I need help can anybody help me. I’m making plans of making the fastest ELF rom and kick ass. Help me I have a problem I have already made a dumprom of my new ELF and soon I’ll have two devices to play with. Is there any one I can sue for what I’m going to do to myself I the future? I made an OEM package with some reg tweaks and the only way to test it is to cook my own I can’t rely on someone else to test my stuff. But I’m afraid, I’m so afraid, I need my sleep. I don’t think I can be cured. So maybe I just have to make things worse and set a goal and some pressure on myself. Before the End of September Expect a TZN Rom release I name it SPC 1.0 (Speed Precision Control) for the Touch And after that maybe an Wizard ROM called SPCPoWeR 9.9 (StopPublishingCookedPoorWizardRoms). Please someone help, stop me from starting this project I fear I will never recover from this addiction.

I would like to thank everyone that has inspired me, the ones that passed me my first syringe, rock and crystal. I would like to thank in advanced the ones that will help me pick up the pipe and keep smoking. Thank you for reading my 200th post.

Ooh I feel better, how much do I owe you doctor!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Noonski:
I understand what you mean and partly agree. But i do have a strong feeling that there's still a lot to gain from optimizing performance on devices. And FUI looks like a great Add on instead of the memory unfriendly touch stuff.

But yes i'm missing a personal touch. Or it's even like i somehow sense that some ROMS did not get enough love while in the oven.

hi im Thunda Chunky and im a Flasher. i like to think of it as a positive thing. at least we're not those kinds of flashers lol. i started flashing 8125 back in july. i (like most noobs) swore my device was bricked when i 1st saw bootloader mode =/ hey im sure we've all been their. well anyway after a lot reading and studying (a WHOOOOLE LOT) i flash faria's WM6. my first successful flash. it felt great. the second one felt even better (NBD 7.4). then came the third, forth, fifth, etc...

well ill just say i made it my mission to tried at least two versions of each ROM that was well known to the GP. Faria's, XM6, Singh, then NBD. then that moment we all fear. when you go to turn on your precious wizard and... nothing. Brick. i was devistated. however the AT&T rep i saw at the store tossed me a replacement and said "you had a G4. you cant change the IPL or SPL." i was stunned. "Find a good ROM and stick to the series." he actually refered me to XDA lol. so i followed his advise.

i flashed NBD 9.1 and thats were i stopped (we're so happy, that ROM and i) ive been using it for at least a week and a half and ive had no problems (except the WiFi connect thing but eh...). ive gone from the Brickyard and back and im still kickin. and best believe as soon as its out 9.2 is im flashin. so thank you Zoki, Faria, MrFrazz, mUn, and all the others. yall got us hooked and we love you for it ya bastards lol

Ever since i saw a blue screen on my touch my life hasn't been the same. I liked that New AU dopod with radio 2.97.

And USPL would flash. And you just keeping flashing untill it sticks dammit. And i beat the crap out of my machine when a new rom's out. Set it to the highest performance for processor and memory. I WANT BLUE SCREEN!!!!!!

I find this a touching story making me think how i had to bring my wizard back to the t-mobile store. They fixed my USB so it could charge. But it couldn't comunicate over active sync. I think they did it on purpose. And he looked at me and said. Are you sure it's broken? I think he knew that they screwed up my active sync. I told him that it was probaply a soldering mistake. But i know what's going on. They now, and they want to stop us. It's great when addictions get you paranoid. And next thing you know you're working for a new boss.

Welcome to the gang of folowers.

Somewhere in oktober i hope to find some time cooking one last rom for myself that i will keep on it...... untilll the next rom off course.

Help!! :(

Hi People

I am new to upgrading. Before I get the business of "you have not read the posts" I have read the posts. That's why I am writing here. The more I read, the more contradicting it is. I have the following:

T-Mobile MDA Unlocked SIM

IPL/SPL 2.26.0001

GSM 02.25.11

OS 2.26.10.2

I know this is a G4, but I have read that you can flash a ROM to an locked CID, but other areas say you cannot. I also have seen many different guides to flash, but some say the CID have to be unlocked others don't. I also have not seen whether the original ROM is saved in case you want or need to put it back. I have also read that you may have to input the GSM settings (I use Rogers in Canada). I bought this unit on eBay unlocked and all I had to do was put in my SIM card and it worked. Will the same happen if I upgrade the ROM? I find after reading so many threads it seems so confusing and was hoping someone here could help me out as you all seem to love flashing ROMs.

Thanks so much in advance,

Mike
