Sorry Itchy submit trigger....

You should really read three or four times the tutorials that are floating around here about flashng your TP.

You need to HardSPL (and use the verizon SPL) the phone before you flash. This will allow the bootloader to be accessed by the flash utility.

Then download the rom and flash.

Remember to *228 1 and after reboot *228 2 to reprogram the phone for data and text and update the PRL.

But don't go crazy trying to get a Massive pack ROM. With the VZW memory limitations your better off starting with a lite rom and adding just the stuff you really intend to use.

As you get more experienced with Flashing (and what you would LIKE on the phone) you can graduate to using a Kitchen that will allow you to select which programs get cooked into the rom and customize it to fit your needs perfectly.

With a VZW Raph500 less is definitly more!
