You cannot flash either IPL/SPL/or Radio to CID locked devices.

But i like doing it anyway just to get error messages, Error messages make me feel afraid and i like that in flashing.

You are only at the start of your addiction my friend but please come back when you are a full addict with red eyes to this post.

Because you just had your first free dose of Crack. And most of us here alos like to be the crack dealers.

Well i really, no seriously had some sleepless nights. I have smoked and drank coffee like a madman, i even skipped watching Footbal with mates. I really had a problem.

Yes that's why i thought porting as much as possible out of the Rom would be fun.

I knew it would be addicting and fun. But the rate you find out stuf is the drive. Fixing the mistakes you make and waiting for that succesfull Flash is a rush by itself. Doctor i'm not cured. I fear i cannot be saved anymore.

I'm still not satisfied but hopefully enough to stay out of the kitchen for a week. Or at least i'll try.

You know your an addicted flasher when you are able to punch in your network key that has 20+ digits, but you can't remember the network key off by heart...just by looking at your phones keyboard you know which button to press next

or is this just me

But hey my time is better spent here than the stuff I used to do chilling outside with friends....

From my ppc 6700, and universal, to Artemis, and Herald plus all the PPC's in between (gonna leave out the 3-4 SP that I had, they don't count :p) I proud to say I haven't bricked a single phone that wasn't able to come back all these years.

To all the good times...and hopefully many more with such a great community

This ones for you

I stayed up way to late again.

I finally found out how to cook my rom with a fixed network wizard that's an my storage card but still starts up automaticly because it has the correct registry values cooked into rom pointing to storage card.

And it's great to see how the new Infofeed RSS reader also on my storage card imediatly shows my saved feeds after a fresh flash.

Yes i need the sleep but this really made me a happy man.

And i'm stil not a satisfied man.

No really do you have some good advice to stop me from keep on cooking and flashing?

How do you flash a new rom?

I have a T-Mobile MDA with a 2.26 rom. I've been trying to upgrade to the wm6 (the crossbow) rom for months, but I've failed.:mad: I've even paid for some roms but they all didn't get the job done. Everytime I select "update," the phone goes off and the screen turns yellow, green, red and blue and the phone disconnects active sync. I've repeated this process for months but it's just not working. I need your help because you seem to be an expert. Please tell me what I need to do or what I'm doing wrong. Help me please.:( I really love the new wm6.

I am happy to say that after flashing my phone over 100+ times in a day for two weeks straight while creating the base roms for the kaiser kitchen that I have managed to kick the habit since last week.

Cooking your own ROMs seems to wear off alot faster than flashing someone elses' FYI. Must be because cooking your own is ultimately what you want anyway...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] licensedtoquill:
Lightweight too

Hi Mfrazz

Not sure if you would be interested in answering this but I have a slight problem flashing. I have downloaded your r3 rom to my Wizard and am trying to get VoIP working. In the interim I am trying to flash a Blue Angel. I have managed to unlock this Cingular unit to T-Mobile and put something called Helmi WM6 on it but it wont let me use VoIP at all. I'd love to know if the BA is an older HTC machine or if 400 MHz makes it later than my Wizard. Unfortunately there isnt much expertise on the BA forum and no one seems to know why my unit keeps reporting Error 101 (I think it is a lost communication error) after identification and just before the flashing process itself starts.

Do you know if your ROMs might work with a BA OR if I can use your utility and simply replace the nk.nbf file with a WM6 one i find on the BA area to get the BA upgraded?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mfrazzz:
Thats not what this thread is for. Please post support questions in the appropriate topic. As I've said in the past, this is one of the few "Fun" threads around here, and I don't want it becoming a support thread for ROM Flashing and stuff. This is support for those that can't stop flashing...

Back on topic... Yeah _Alex_ you have that about right... First cook a ROM that has problems while you are testing it and after doing tons and tons of flashes to debug it, you get pretty burned out. And yes, cooking your own tends to fit your tastebuds and the need / urge to flash is much less (but can still be there just to see what you "might" be missing :D)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] licensedtoquill:
Sorry about that Mfrazz: I thought that as I have flashed my three wizards about ten times each and the BA a few times (and now cannot satiate my appetite for trying new ROMs because of this error message), someone might be interested in answering. (I have in fact already posted three times in appropriate threads and absolutely no one answered)

I flashed my first ROMs back in August of 2007. I eventually got mfrazzz's XM6r2a working and stuck with it for months! I read this thread, but didn't think I had a problem yet.

I started having problems with the phone recently, so I came back to xda-dev to see what kind of new ROMs were available. Well I have flashed my 8125 everyday for the last 5 days now. I've tried most of the ones that look interesting, but none seemed to suit me.

Instead of just putting XM6r2a back on, I've downloaded the Hyper Core Kitchen and decided to make my own ROM :P

This has definitely turned into a problem. Was up until 4AM last night :cool:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Moriah:
Junkie before i got my phone......

I wanted a new phone without a plan..... so it started. I did research and found HTC phones and then Wizards and then ..... XDA DEVELOPERS. I scoured ebay for a Cingular 8125 (liked the shape over T-Mobile MDA) and made a buy. Before the phone got here i had already downloaded lokwiz and and button rom, and radio 2.26......ok ok, i had 5 roms downloaded and 3 radios and just tons of stuff. My 8125 came Saturday Dec 22nd, by 1am i had my first rom loaded "TNT 1933" and my T-mobile sim wasn't due to arrive until the Monday before Christmas. By Wednesday the day after Christmas i was on my fourth rom........... NO TURNING BACK NOW!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, yes.... these are the memoirs of a rom flashing junkie.

I just downloaded my first Kitchen today............

I think i need another 8125 just to Flash.....

I fell back to it

Finnally I'm opening my self.

Smth like 2 years ago i got an HTC himalaya and as I didn't like at all the 2003 i started looking for things.

So i found XDA-Dev and buzzdev so i started hoing to other ROMS till I made my self a good ROM using beppe's kitchen and the history goes . . . . . . . . !!!!

One day a friend of mine gave me a Wizard (little thingie :-)). I had to see this.

My friend never got it back.

I came again to xda-dev after a year to check about the wizard.

And what i see CID unlock and etc. . . . . . .!!

Now i'm on "dope" again this time the wizard kind ;-)

My story...well sort of

Hi, my name is Nick. I have been flashing ever since I received my first spv back in the good old days. I started playing around with the stock roms on a day not unlike today when I was feeling a little down and out and perhaps a little lonely. Well, now its a few years later, I am somewhat fatter, older and now have no friends well, not many anyway. I do have a dog if that counts and I'm sure when I turn around quickly and look at him laying in his basket on the floor that he is laughing at me. I also hear voices too. I never used to. They come from my Kaiser. I began to hear voices after I first got my TyTN a short while ago, but now the voices are getting louder and stronger. I pick my Kaiser up, and its as if it talking to me. I'm not talking about the phone being on, I've had it on flight mode before and it still talks to me. Before I started using the rom kitchen and not too long before I messed about "romming" I was fine and everything was lovely and my life was somewhat ok. But now its all gone crazy and I just don't know anymore.

I am an addict and my name izt Nick

My name is Bud and I'm A Rom flasher. This is my first post to the site. I have an 8125 and have tried a few roms, probably 4. I really like Black Diamond, but it ends up giving me problems after a couple of days. I feel like I may be going deeper into my addiction because now I'm considering cooking my own rom if I can get the courage. At least I know I can get help here when I'm ready to do something about my problem. Thanks for being here for me.

Well now I'm for sure I have a problem. I was flashing a new rom and my phone got stuck in Bootloader screen and I didn't blink an eye. I had this happen with my Blue Angel one time and I was freaking out. Not this time, I just reflashed a new rom and was back to buisness.

Guilty as Charged

Hi my name is Ant and I have a problem.. :D

I started with a Softbank and the first XDA Live WM6 version. I super CID it, radio upgrade it, bricked it, recovered it, you name it. I progressed thru all the Black Roms. I even brought my wife a Dopod 830 pro to both shut her up and feed my habit. I convinced the company I work for to purchase them and now look after about 20 of them.

Recently the company gave me a TyTn II with strict instructions to trial it but no flashing. I have kinda worked around that one by installing just about every patch, hack and crack that has been developed in the XDA forums. FtouchSL combined with Slithers Cube make it somewhat different.

The other day I saw Dutty's 6.1 ROM and have had the tremors ever since. So today I flashed that. Hands steady again. I may have to put it back to the official rom but only after I get caught :D:D:D

My wife tolerates me. My friends with standard phones hate me. I'm a flashaholic....

I started with motorola phones but after a while that would not satisfy my "rom flashing" needs.

Then I got a BlueAngel and I went all the way, even changed the housing, flashed various roms, cooked my own and then I realized I was out of control.

I tryed to go back to regular phones. I got a samsung blast and almost died because I could only change ringtones and the menu color... hard times...

After that I got a sonyericsson and they have patches and firmwares but there was only so much one could do...

I was "clean" for about 2 months then my friend broke his Wizard... I replaced the screen for him but the flex cable was cut too... he choose to get a Tytn II and gave me the phone...

Then it all started again! I got a new flex cable and put the phone together...

It started all over again!

The bootloader mode screen is so beautiful with the colors and that little bar going red and blue... oh! the rush, the adrenaline while flashing it!

For the last 3 days I flashed it about 4 times with different roms and now I'm cooking my own.

another confession

My name is Rob and I am also addicted to flashing. Oddly, I have a very strong IT background but I am a doctor during the day. I was fine with my company phone (well not fine) until our chief of IT gave me a second Tilt and said he was interested in learning about ROM flashing and would I be interested in doing a little research? I was so astonished to have a corporate IT "blessing" that I was speechless. I dove head first into the abyss.

I eagerly await new ROMs even though I think I've already found the perfect ROM (Kaiser Laurentius v4 Vanilla). I thought I had the ROM thing under control until I discovered radios. The nearly infinite combination of ROMs and radios has sucked away most of my free time and I've spent more than a few late nights clicking away after my wife has fallen asleep.

My 9 year old daughter says "daddy, put Tilt away..." but I can't. My business partner looks over me at my desk and says "are you working on that phone agaiin?"

I read as many entries on this thread that I could before I couldn't control myself laughing. Seriously, though, it is very comforting to know that there are (many?) other seriously deranged folks besides me.
