How many times to you Reflash?

[schettj]

Been too busy, *and* HTC roms have been "good enough", so I have reflashed the refurb mogul I got in exchange for my dead 6700 at the beginning of the year exactly twice - both to stock HTC/Sprint roms.

Not sure what's keeping me from building a custom rom like I did with the 6700, except time (none) and reasonably good performance of the stock rom.

I also have a AT&T based Kaiser sitting here in the same state - running stock rom, working well enough to ignore for now.

Look in your build status window...close to the end you'll find "Build xxx completed"

For a device that is only meant to be programed once or a few times in its lifetime, I sure hope the flash memory doesn't wear out quick.

approx 10,000 flashes...it's unlikely you'll wear it out during it's lifetime.

There hasn't been a kitchen update in any of the major 3 devices (Apache, Titan and Vogue) for over a 10 days... I haven't reflashed in over a week...

I think I'm beginning to have withdrawal symptoms...

I am an addict...I seriously can't remember how many times I've flashed my phone...That commercial w/ the guy typing on his phone while he is sleeping hits way to close to home...That is totally me after a new flash.

I currently have two Moguls. One is used for testing (bought it broken, fixed a keyboard problem and replaced the LCD), and the other one for everyday use (bought refurbished). This way I'm never out of service, or have an unreliable phone.

When I get the test phone operating properly on a ROM, and all functions work (I put it online and use it hard for at least a week), I upgrade the primary phone.

The test phone is currently running a kitchen made 3.49 ROM, with a 3.35 radio. The primary is running a 3.35 stock ROM.

I couldn't get the 3.35 kitchen ROM to run stable with the applications I wanted, so I went to the 3.49. So far, no problems, and I've tweaked (application wise) it 6-times so far.

I haven't tried the DCD or No2chem ROMs, yet.... Nor have I loaded the latest radio. Once I have the 3.49 tested, I'll upgrade the primary phone, and load the latest radio on the test phone.

Total flashes so far, 43.......

I have flashed my 6800 for every update from DCD (November - January), and every updated for N2C (February - until today). I haven't counted, but if I were to guess, I'd say 40 times or so. Changed radios I think 5 or 6 times....
