[jr5416]

[1LOMOFO]

Ya know it wasn't to bad, I was a lil more nervous the way my girlfriend was looking at me when it was in boot loader (her mogul was my guinea pig LOL!) but she was happy in the end. Now i flash my vogue about every month with either a Kaos or BIG JEW ROM.

[1mrlcb]

I was scared outta my pants because me 6700 got stuck in the bootloader and i tried to hard reset and everything so i called up sprint they just gave me a diffrent phone new mogul then the next try on the mogul went good after i read stuff!

[puertoblack2003]

with some knowledge with technology with messing with stuff i learned to take risk! To do thing, lots of it you must have common sense and lots of reading and then comes the trials. but i mange to do things without any issues.And i like to trouble shoot things too.So flashing a rom is like installing a OS in a computer. so go figure.

[iamdasht19]

mine went good since i read and my first flash was with the mogul and wasnt worried but more excited this was way pre-gps and wm 6.1 when i did for the first time.

[Moebius]

I researched, read, re-read, re-re-read the guides on here (and any other site I could find) for a couple weeks before I even got my phone. I was still nervous as hell, and got a bit confused after putting the boot loader in, but I took a breath, went on through, and everything was good.

[Sh0wNuF]

I went for a week debating whether or not to flash, but what decided it was my mogul's lack of memory on the stock rom so i read the flashing guide a couple times, got really scared and was like "f*ck it" and just followed the directions without understanding why to to it and everything ended up just fine. I was a actually a little dissapointed that it wasn't harder after reading so much and expecting more of a challenge to flash

[dansoftcore]

My first time sucked, I was a complete nub. Actually I think dash helped me out over yahoo or something >.<

as backwards as this may seem i would rather install an OS than flash my phone at the moment since i depend on it so much even though i know it's not that bad and i have all the support i could possibly need if i ever came to need any but i'm also lazy about backing up and reinstalling shit, even though there are some sweet and juicy roms and TF2D stuff that are just making me itch more than a kid with ringworn on his nuts in the summer wearing leather pants, i just need to pull my head out of my ass and just do it!!

yo d/\sh, i LOVE the new sig bro, kudos to the designer!!

1 year and still on stock!! i go crazy after just 2 days on a stock rom if not one lmao.... you will do fine, just folow the steps and you wont have any errors or troubles.

[TweetyBear]

first flash was scary but after that i became a pro. i remember i used kaos roms back then and he n dash helped me out

[Mystery]

The first time I flash my phone I was scare of messing it up, but I read ALOT ALOT before doing it. It all went well and I am glad I did it. You can do way more stuff to your phone once you unlock it and flash it to a Custom ROM. :>

[DenverDev]

I am STILL unsure about flashing my phone, although I believe I can recite, chapter and verse, the methods. But for a couple of reasons. When I got my phone it was flashed to Cricket by someone local, using of of toO's roms from over at xda....downside is that i am finding that it might be difficult to find a ROM that works as well for Cricket as this one....very stable....low memory usage (well, i know that i have alot of stuff going on that sucks RAM)....and since I cannot find the ROM from toO (xda), I am not sure that I want to go to something inferior.....I have thought about flashing KOAS Take 5, but I am not completely up to speed on getting the Cricket information (prl) onto it or getting the messaging or internet to work.....soooooooo until I finally find the information that i need to be comfortable, I will keep searching Craigslist for phones to experiment on!

[tlpalmer01]

i was scared as hell my first time, i did it on the vogue and all went well, i am still deciding now what rom to use with my pro...I did alot of reading though before I flashed and I had no problems.....

[lordhelmet]

My first flash on my Mogul was to the 6.1 update w GPS. When going custom, I read a lot before I did it, but it still felt like I was betting it all in Vegas. When my phone went into boot loader mode, I kind of freaked cause I wasn't expecting a tri-color screen, and I just associated it with a blue screen on a comp. But it was all good, and been at it since. I'm still fairly noob, but I've flashed like 8-9 times between my Mogul and my TPro (shout out to KK loaded ROMs BTW; a very underrated ROM in my opinion). Anyway, you need to flash cause stock is like trying to sprint (pun intended) with a 200 lb sack of potatoes on your back. Peace!

[Metalmayhem]

I did my first flash with my mogul and kaos **** sprint take 3 rom. I felt if i could intall an os on a computer this shouldn't be any different, so I read through spj, ppcgeeks and xda until I had all my questions and doubts answered. Once I flashed I had found my new long lost hobby and felt the addiction kick in and would never go back stock again!

Took about 5-10 minutes to flash, took my time and drank a beer.

[jr5416]

Im not sure if i flashed my mogul ,you guys member when 6.1 came out well i had windows 6 on mogul i then updated to 6.1 but im not sure if that the same as flashing a diff rom ,doing what i did took bout 10min so idk.

[crazaytalent]

hahaha... interesting thread...

well for me... I admit, I was kiinna scared... it took me forever before I was ablet to get a smartphone, and I had wanted one for the longest...so i wasnt tryna do ish to brick... and I kept seeing all those dflashing a rom may brick ur device disclaimer, and were not responsible, yadda yada... so I was like F*** that! Lol... But I am the type of guy that like to do my reasearch before i get into anything (i mean when I was in college i did research on all the drugs that i experimented w/ before doing them, just to have an idea of the effects, and addictive qualites of each...lol) so I research read and re-read like alomost everyone else... but still didnt want to try it... Although D/\SH and the rest of the spj fam were calling me on it and saying just do it for months...and how great it was... i figured, hell i couldnt miss what i didnt know... as far as I cared, stock rom was fine... finally i got sick of the bloatware etc, and as always over time system start to slo etc... that I finally said F it... and did it... I was still scared, cuz my vogue was so presious to me, so scared that, when it went into bootloader mode (even tho i know that was gonna happen) and the active sync icon on my pc disappeard I paniced, and unplugged my device...lmao... well afte I saw a simple soft reset got my phone back to nomal, i decide try again... and just let it do its thing... ten minutes later I was done, and it was like having a brand new device out the box... i loved it!...even better than when i first got it...but then i was mad at myself for not doing it sooner...lol!

That my only problem... I be way to lazy... to do it over and over... like when i flash a fresh new rom, then three days later, rom is up dated, then five days after that, etc... I be f*** that... Im not doin this again( thats why im still on mighty rom 4.12)... all that afterwork setup can be a bit of a pain, so I only flash like 1 every 1-2 months... unless Im beta testing for my ppl, then I can flash like 1 a day, test, give feedback and try the next version etc... Yep... basically im lazy... but thank god for sashimi!

it is a flash, but its flashing from stock to stock... not stock to custom, so you skipped the unlocking process... i had to do it to when i first had my vogue, and i wanted the gps and rev a activated

[GokuSS3]

My first Flash I was more scared that I was gonna mess up my phone than anything. It was on my Mogul I Flashed Kaos Take 2. But after I did it was all over " I was like that was too easy" Now it is fun an something ill do when i am bored to re-do my phone!!!!!

[mrpants20]

I was pretty nervous when I flashed my Mogul for the first time about 8-10 months ago. I read through the Dash's guide several times before doing it and then tried it out after having stock Rom for awhile..... I got it suck in bootloader mode and I was kinda freaking out (well inside at least since my wife was sitting next me and just said not to ruin my phone). I read a little more and found out ho to get it out of bootloader mode and tried again. Worked perfectly..... Fast forward to now and I flashed my Pro literally ten minutes after getting it in the mail... I downloaded the unlocker and Rom before it even got here LOL

[jr5416]

[parna1973]

[wentzeric]

Just Flashed today and it was a good experience. I put Juicy 6 on the Touch Pro and it looks NICE! I was very worried, just bricking my Mogul but after a little fight with an few apps vs. stock software. I decided stock was no way to live.

Stock makes me so mad how they lock all the potential in the phone with these apps that just don't make life easier. Thanks to group like SPJ and PPCgeeks things get done right.

[angiekay]

my first time, I was scared as hell, done all the reading and re-reading.....still was too chicken crap to do it....................SO...................
