I just really want to know how many times have you flashed to a new rom or to an updated rom. I think I might have flash the brains out of my phone like men in black lol but for real. thank for your input

Hmm. Probably 30 or more times including going from WM5 to WM6 and now to WM6.1. I flashed eight or so times yesterday just cooking up different ROMs and am about to go again.

I really don't think you could have met the limit on how many writes your memory can take, but if so, I hope you carry insurance on your phone.

Happy flashing,

D

I have flashed my Verizon XV6800 .. oh .. 9 times just in the last 6 hrs trying to get rid of that darn SPCS v3.35. I made it through. Over all I would say about 30 times or so just to get it nearly perfect for what I want to use it for.

Ok I feel a lot better now. But i do have the insurance i just wanted to make sure. because i got this phone the day it came out and never exchanged it. just the battery from over charging it. but when i had the 6700 oh boy thats a different story i flashed that thing more than 100 times and about 20 phones later
thank you all for your input

I flashed my 6700 probably 10 times before I sold it. I've flashed my 6800, gosh... 7 or 8 DCD ROMS, 10 N2C ROMs, Sprint 3.35 ROM... so I guess about 20 times in 6 months!

I'm still waiting for the dream ROM... you know, the one that everyone is waiting for... the ROM that will put all others to shame.

..still waiting. (N2C is close!)

I think i have lost count lol After trying a billion combinations possible, i am having nightmares about ALL of my electronic devices coming up with bootloader screens lol

For my Mogul I would say only about five times. Then again I don't think that I have had it more than 45 days yet. The Touch I had before it... probably a dozen times. Then five to six more flashes for the other people in my office that had a Touch and wanted what I had. My 6700 and Treo 700wx... God only knows...

I would have to say I've flashed my Titan so many times I've become an addict. Actually had to take my old one in to get a replacement and sat in their parking lot and Flashed the new one

I really think I need rehab or something. I know in the last 3 months I've flashed well over 100 times. Not because it wont work right but because I keep thinking of different things I want to try. My wife and kids have disowned my poor lil phone. They say it's become a nucense in our house.

I think they are right.....I use to have a Treo 700w and messed some but there wasnt alot that could be done with it. Then I discovered crack (Titan) and ahhhh ya you know the rest.
