Hi im ScottyF79

Decided to join up after finally admitting to my addiction

It all started at the end of 2010 when i was given a gtp1000 galaxy tab for xmas.

I had asked for a ps3 but the mrs showed me the gtab in a catalogue and i thought it was pretty cool so she bought it. I was allowed 20 minutes with the gtab so that i could decide if it was going to be a keeper or if she was to take it back to the store.......it was rooted (thanks chainfire its your fault this started!!) within minutes and packed away for Santa

Next came my first rom flash using Odin......Overcome Team - we salute you! Amazing guide (Devs take note) and support.

Onwards and upwards i decided it was time to try an Android phone. So i got a cheap LG Pecan and got it rooted. No roms so i was starting to go into deep depression whilst waiting for Gtab rom releases. Cyanogen Mod, Boca Heretic, Overcome, Boca - round and round until i finally hit my first soft brick. Tears and tantrums a plenty. My saviour - XDA!

All my reading from the fantastic advice by the amazing members on here finally paid off.

Next came my beloved Samsung Galaxy S2.......i was under strict orders not to F**k it up and to leave the £400 quid handset as it was!.......They just dont understand do they! Why have an amazing handset when you can have an orgasmic cherry popping handset:D:D:D

8 long and withering days later i buckled! 30 seconds - Odin - Flash - Root and recovery!

Injected CheckRom.......ahhhh thats better. Now almost a year down the line with the yellow triangle as a give away (removed thanks to bloody Chainfire again!!) it has Foxhound ics coursing through its circuitry - or Aokp - or CM9 - or........ughhh just whatever looks good on the day :rolleyes:

Summer was about to finish and flashing on small estates just wasnt enough......it was time to go for the hard stuff......10" tablet time!

So i got myself an Asus TF101......Read and read and all i kept coming across was this NV Flash caper. Adb push......WTF. wheres chainfire when you need him! lol

Couldnt figure out what wtf to do..........2 freakin days later and eureka moment.

Finally the demons were sent back to taunt the Apple mob with Roms and Overclock Kernels they can only have wet dreams over. Tf devs, we are not worthy! Honeycomb as it should have been.

Which brings me up to today. Frozn (Jcarrz1, amazing) Asus Tf and Rafa powered Sgs2, Touch recovery, overclocking, undervolting, ota's, parts, upd8r......YAS!

If your an addict then come out and say it!

I have ORD and im proud!!:D

..............who knows what 2mrw will bring? (its that bad ive even made videos of roms and put them on youtube! see my signature)

who cares!! lets just hope it flashes properly hehe (thanks to all our devs!)

Hello I'm Dero and I had ORD when i was on my Windows phone. After giving it out and settling for Nokia E71 i think i became stable.....

But now got my hands back on a beast(i9100) and the symptoms are showing...I think i 've gotten back the ORD...

Hello everybody. My name is Stu, and I'm a flashaholic...

I started exhibiting early signs of ORD after buying a Motorola Milestone in early 2010. Sure it was locked down...but it was my baby...I found myself not paying attention in my classes, and instead making nandroid backups and flashing when I was supposed to be learning Statistics (I was a second year business student). It got insane, my phone spent more time in OpenRecovery then in Android itself...

Then, I saw the Galaxy Nexus during the event that took place in Hong Kong...I simply had to have it. Fast forward to now, I flash an updated ROM or kernel about once a day. Some think I'm insane, but they don't understand...

The thrill of an overclocked kernel, the adrenaline that comes even from the smallest of bugfixes...

So that's my story, I've come here for help (even though deep down, I don't think I really WANT help). I'm Stu, and I have ORD.

Edit: Just thought I should also mention, that even though my Milestone is now a permanent alarm clock in the bedroom, I still flash the latest build of CM9 when it's out....

Hello everyone, I'm Logan, and I'm a Chronic Flashurbator.

I started into Android with a Motorola Backflip (and like most backflip owners, hated it so much I switched to Apple) but when I finally broke the iPhone (looked at it funny or something) I decided to come back into the light. I ended up returning two phones because they couldn't be flashed, ended up with the CDMA Xperia Play. I couldn't do anything with it, but the light came in a flash when my girlfriend dumped me. There I was, with an expensive Valentine's Day present, a co-worker who upgraded his Epic 4G instead of buying his wife a present, and a plan. A quick, shady trade under the table at work, and it was done, I had the drug I needed. I jumped from ROM to ROM almost daily, freed by the stable, locked xperia play. I spent over 500 dollars on a TF101 and accessories, and I don't even get to use the thing between stability tests and restores from ROM updates. Even if the Epic is just a remote for my tablet, it still gets the latest AOKP the moment it hits... I'm Logan, and I have ORD.

Hi, My name is Gareth and im a true flashinator :D

And here was me thinking i was the only person i knew who flashed every form of rom/kernal/radio/update/you name it!!! But i finally found a place where i'm not alone:p

I started of with my dear old HTC Desire Z(oh how i miss you) and flashed nearly every rom, kernal and mod for my device. Unfortunatly i started to get bored with it as i had done just about everything short of a turning it in to a nuclear reactor.

Now i have my Asus transformer TF101. I'm still flashing every update and rom i can find on here. Aswell as helping just about everybody i know with bricked devices and bringing them back to life. And then flashing there device (not that im complaining, I get to try out just about every new device)

So all in all i really have Obsessive-Rom Updating Disorder
[Off-topic] 008bond:
Hey everyone, I'm Akhilesh and I have been terrible victim of this disorder. I just can't stop.

I flash ROMS on weekly basis and sometimes even daily for several days in a row. I end up flashing the same ROMs again and again from time to time as well. It feels good to share this :)

I own a galaxy ace and I just couldn't get enough. I used to learn a lot about things like OC and then I found out that underclocking was beneficial for battery saving purposes and whatnot. Now I just flash ROMs and compare their performance and from time to time I even flash ROMS for their different variety of looks. From cyanogenmod7 to stock ROM ! from stock ROM to custom cyanogemod 7 to cyanogenmod 9. This is a endless cycle of happiness/anxiety. I love it and at the same time hate it.
[Off-topic] MissionImprobable:
Yep, stayed up until 3 the other night to flash the latest MIUI V4 for my phone. Flash went perfectly, but then I realized I was going to have reinstall all my apps. Tried just using a nandroid I had but it wasn't compatible with ICS so I had to flash back to GB, do a quick MIUI backup of just the apps then reflash.

Once that was done I had to of course check functionality, sleep be damned. Played with it for a while, finally went to sleep, then flashed back to Galnet because I can't live without a custom status bar and carrier logo ;) I believe I may qualify for the support group?
[Off-topic] CMiles1979:

Once installed this, you don't want to flash anymore.

I really think I need help... I've had some down time because of an injury and I discovered a joy in taking a perfectly good phone, erasing everything on it and replacing it with something developed and constantly changed by people I have never met with names like Task650 (my current hero), bird man and teams of other faceless folks too numerous to list. My initial endeavor was to extend my battery life. But now the biggest power sucking apps I have is are tapatalk, titanium backup and antutu benchmark. I have flashed roms while driving, in the parking lots of grocery stores and while dropping the kids off at the pool ￼ I have very little self will left and have managed to piss off AT&T. Supposedly I am in the top 5% of data users in the land! (Does that make me something like a Mitt Romney of Data?). I admit my problem and need the solution.. I need an app that will take away root privileges except for certain times of the day and a "sponsor" I can entrust with the password to override it! Lol
[Off-topic] DAGr8:
haha a, that sponsor thingy woudl be great we need athread with available sponsors and htere 24 h /7 toll free number .

my personal disorder includes porting them mods to my device as soon as I find them, regardless of what device there on ... so Im really in need of one !!

Hi, I'm Gabriel and I am an ORD Addict. I don't have any hopes of you guys helping me as you are all probably even WORSE than I am :D

I have a Galaxy S for a year and a halve and have been flashing it about 100 times now. Also my TF101 and my wifes Milestone, Xperia and Xperia Arc S :D

My next phone will be an iPhone, making sure that I can't even change the colors of the OS! :rolleyes:

I stumbled across this thread while in my ORD mode. I definitely addicted and I'm not ashamed smh. Its taken a toll on my daily social lifestyle even with all the social networking apps available. I help myself the gracious devs put so much effort into these roms/mods/kernels that I cant help myself. I started off with the atrix coming from blackberry and not realizing the massive potential of the android experience. For a locked down phone as the atrix devs found a way around it and I found my self flash happy. I've come to a pouint where I know what I want on my phone so I just get get giddy for certains Roms from certain devs. I just got the Galaxy Note and I told myself I would be disciplined and just root it but not do anything else because I jsut want the stock ICS update wit the S pen settings and apps. I actually have a rom just sitting on the phone as we speak and I feel that I'm literally itching to flash it to get the fix. I knew I had an addiction before reading this thread and I'm a little relieved to know I'm not alone.
[Off-topic] unubtanium:
I am with you Brother, i also have the Note and do love the Spen and so on. But the ICS came and i tried NOT flash the sweet ICS over my ONLY rooted stock rom. But then i could not help my self any longer! Becuase i stumbled over Mobile Odin Pro and DOOOMED I WAS. so of again with the Flashing!!! Damn u Mobile Odin Pro! That is the worst thing ever happen to us with ORD!! It is like a superdrug With turbo and direct injection. I just love Getting my Mobile Odin Pro Fix on the train to work. People do look at me funny sometimes on the train but i do not care! I need My FIX!!!!

Finally! I know what I am!

I've been bumming around on XDA for quite some time now, I don't post much but I'm pretty much always trundling around the development section of the Galaxy s. I flash my phone pretty much every day unless I find a particularly tasty Rom and then I might be able to hold off for a couple of days and just keep tweaking the settings. The best part is finally having a name for my condition...ORD... next time I'm told to 'put that damn phone down' i'll be able to say, 'I can't I have ORD!' and claim some sort of compensation or allowance for all these years of technological abuse. Its got to the point where I tell random people I barely know about how they should update their androids and it causes me physical pain to see someone still toughing it out on Cupcake!

[Off-topic] GazaIan:
So I got rid of my ORD :) you see, when I was on myTouch 4G, I wasn't satisfied. AOSP ROMs were awesome, but had an awful camera. Sense Camera was awesome, but the overall experience was bloated. MIUI.... It was just weird.

Then, I got a Sensation. I went ROM Crazy and if it weren't for a random guy at Engadget, I wouldn't have discovered HyperNonSense. It takes the official Sense 3.6 Update, strips almost everything Sense EXCEPT the camera. The result is a fully functioning, super fast, AOSP looking ROM with an awesome camera (Video problems are imminent on any ROM that isn't HyperNonSense or other Sense 3.6). Now? I haven't changed ROMs in 3 months. I do switch to see what's up with a new ROM, but I always restore right back. My ORD is gone :)
[Off-topic] josear33:
I too struggle with ORD

The name's Jose, and I deal with ORD

It began in march '12, when I first had my sensation (coming from a hero, and never heard the word root)

I was tired of my carrier (orange) getting late to the ICS train, so I decided to move on my own, and followed a link to a htc spanish related site, where it was stated that you could update to ICS with a custom rom, just by rooting and S-OFFing... nothing more.

So I followed instructions... downloaded the rom they were linking (I did not know, but it was ARHD), revolutionary s-offed, rooted, and... power+volumedown... recovery.. and it was there... clockwordmod (I remember I thought how unsecure it made me feel by then...)

A few steps after, it was flashing ARHD, and... finish... reboot...

BOOTLOOP!

"OH, ****! What's going on!!? There's nothing on this site that talks about this! Not even in the comments!! --What the.. there is not even a single comment about the post!! What have I done!!?!"

My just bought-unboxed htc sensation, turned out to be a nice aluminium (or whatever) cased stone!!

After 10 minutes, I understood that in fact, it was not bricked at all.. well, at least I could enter clockwordmod, that had to be a good signal, after all. Provided I'm an engineer, I had done a backup before all the process, so I was able to go back to stock GB... but that was like... admiting defeat... I couldn't stand it.. so after almost an hour of reading things I barely understood, I came to XDA... and found joaquinf's guide... THE GUIDE.

15 minutes later, AHRD was running smoothly on my device... was a good thing to see the PIN code screen after the bootloops...

Since then... I've flashed every AHRD release... almost every ORDroid release since 5.1.0, and almost every CM9 nightly (which I'll stick to... well, euroskank nightlies, in fact), and every faux123 and bricked kernel releases....

I've tried beats (aosp and non aosp) mods, HQcamera mods, bravia engine mods, even tried Paranoidandroid ROM (which I actually like a lot)...

It began as curiosity.. now is a lifestyle...

Greetings, and thank you all for the good work you do here on xda... you might say... knowledge at its best

My name is Todd and I have ORD. It's not that I like to flash, it's just that all the ROMs suck, in one way or another. One day they'll make a good one and I'll stop. Actually, that will probably never happen. F***.
[Off-topic] bayusuputra:
my name is bayu, from Indonesia, but currently based in Singapore.. I confess that i have ORD, and i am not ashamed of it! :silly:

started after i unlocked the bootloader of my HTC Desire S, went to flash several Sense 3.5 ROMs, and then S-OFFing the device once and for all (hate that boot.img flashing through fastboot)..

now, after some quite stable vanilla ICS builds, can't stop flashing ROMs.. sometimes 3 times a day, after breakfast, after lunch and after dinner..

and i have no remorse for it! This is Android, and i am gonna take full advantage of this great OS!

Hi, I'm Kieron, and I've had ORD since about November 2010. I had a GT540 (look in the legacy sub forum) and it was stopped at Eclair 2.1. I wanted 2.2, found CM6. Then I wanted GB, cue CM7. In August 2011 I got a Desire HD and my ORD continued, with me getting the latest GB build and ICS in December. Now, even though I didn't use my gt540, my ord meant it HAD to have ICS on it, so I got a ROM and all of my devices ran ics. All was well, but a few weeks ago, disaster. My dhd's LCD cracked, meaning I had to drop back onto my gt540. Unfortunately it had terrible battery on 4.0, so I had to roll back to a fast, stable eclair build. My ORD is killing me at the moment. Fortunately I also have my tablet (writing with it now) and a net book with Android on it, so I have ICS on both of those, but I

Hello people !! I am Partho from Kolkata India. I have been reading the posts here and I realise that I also have ORD. My story goes like this - One of my cousins showed me the HTC Gene that he had bought in 2007. I looked at the features and liked it very much. I bought one for myself the next year. I was surfing the net for some WinMo 6.0 apps when Google search guided me to XDA. I read through the forum and the detailed instructions for flashing ROMS and had a try flashing a WinMo 6.1 ROM. It was a success and I was addicted. From WinMo 6.1 I went to WinMo 6.5. Soon I was flashing ROMS left right and centre. In the meantime I learned about the HTC HD2 and was impressed by its specifications. So at the beginning of 2011, I retired the Gene and bought HD2. I learned how to run android from the SDcard. So, from there I gradually came to NAND android. From Froyo to GB & MIUI to ICS. Now a few hours back I downloaded a Jellybean ROM for HD2 and looking forward to flashing it tonight. It just goes on and on.

I am a confessed, and proud ORD sufferer :D . Albeit much to the dislike of many of the people that know me. Many of them say just get a new Hobby. I then inform them that it has gone way past being a " Hobby " . After that I just look at them with a quizzical look, and ask one simple question. How long can you hold your breath? When they ask me why I ask that. I simply reply, because that's how long I'm going to stop thinking about, or tinkering with Phones.

ORD

and I'm not ashamed to admit it. When I'm not flashing I get all sweaty and start walking around the house naked thumping the walls, when I flash (and I dont mean in the park to old women) it excites me, will it work, won't it work, will the fone get bricked, will I lose my warranty, thats the excitement about flashing in the night and I blame my first custom rom sexual experience on Litepro. I was the same when I got Windows7 but that was a different sexual experience and I turned to god. I keep thinking when I flash, this is the last time because this roms the best ever, then the next day I'm flashing again because I want more and more of this lovely stuff, guess I'm sad but so what if I am, at least I don't support Chelsea FC.

Happy flashing guys and remember, you're right hand can be used for other things as well ;)
