So who wants Custom Roms? I flashed my WX!!!

[Alias]

I flashed my Sprint WX, with Verizon Firmware succesfully. I needed to do this to get around Sprints Data provisioning, so I could get Data on another carrier.

This means that there is no carrier ID, and we have a working Flasher for the WX. So wants to cook us up something good?

wanna explain further?

you dont have those dreaded vcast type red bars everywhere do u

I think the reason we never seen Custom ROMS for this PPC is because we had no way to flash them. The only way to flash a phone was the update for Verizon phones. I found a way to load any bootloader and firmware you have, on any Treo 700WX.

And no red bars. I only used Verizons because it doesn't require an A-Key for data services like Sprint. My Sprint Treo wouldn't work on my carrier (Cricket). Thats why I flashed it.

Sounds like a great idea, unfortunately I know nothing of custom ROM making.

Not sure I wanna guinea pig either, I just removed my insurance on the phone, lol.

But obviously this could result in some sweet mods, so lets keep this alive...

I'm going to write up a tutorial. It took me 2 weeks to figure this out.

This may be useful for anyone in my situation, trying to get one carriers phone working with another firmware like I was.

Its also useful for the custom roms.

I'll post my instructions here, and on XDA Dev forums.

This is very cool! Can't wait for the instructions, as my 700wx is still insured.

Yes please post, as I also still have insurance.
