Do I need to unloack before flash

mak101 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-20-2009, 05:57 PM

I have sprint touch pro from last 6 months but I have not tweak anything on phone, but after visiting the site, I am preparing myself to flash first time. I am trying to gather all information before flash it but I am confuse about unlocking phone. Do I have to unlock my phone before flashing any ROM?

And I see lots of ROM for my phone, is there any place where I can find any comparison between ROMs? Being first timer, what do you suggest about ROM, which ROM I should use? I know there is tons of information but difficult to find one.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Yes you do.. If you do not, your phone may become bricked (basically a paperweight)..

Thanks for all of you for helpful information. Can anyone suggest any particular rom? Or any comparison between ROMs? Any advantage/disadvantage using one ROM over any other ROM?

I understand that, but now question is which rom has advantage/disadvantage over others. As a beginner which ROM I should try first?

Thanks.

There are many threads on this already.

I would read through some of the ROMS is the upgrade section and see which one appeals to you.

there are many easy roms out, many clean or [light] ROMS.

many are in Favor or Silence, mightyrom, or silence mighty.

we all would suggest going through them and getting a feel for it.

believe me once you flash you'll be addicted!

There are alot of good roms out there my fav are "Energy" "Mike's Mighty rom" "Silence" silence he has listed a new one a few days ago its fast and has no lag with programs, good on battery life by far on of the best roms I have tired in awhile and I have to agree with lilbitz once you start flashing you just cant stop lol good luck with your searching!
