Re: I keep hearing that 3.35 radio is not safe...

I am still reluctant to make this my first test though as my standard recommendation is don't flash any radio roms when it isnt absolutely necessary. The reason for that is because if it does just have a flash error even the radio is a lower level than the SPL so you can't flash back! That being said, if you go GPS, don't go back. If you went to any GPS even titan, don't go to another radio. There are still parts of the radio which i believe do not get overwritten. I know this is the case with titan, but have yet to positively verify on the 2.31 vogue SPL. Additionally, the titan and vogue have different low level setups. The SPL's aren't compatible, so why use something lower level (radio loads SPL) from a different device to load the SPL?

Bottom line: Radio flashes are much more risky than OS flashes and can permantently brick your device, but going GPS is worth a one time risk.
Would the newly discovered recovery of "Stuck in Download Mode" (now covered in Complete FAQ Sticky) have recovered your brick?

Is running the Alltel Vogue Radio ROM in a Sprint Vogue just as risky or is that considered safe because it is for the same physical device?
