How many times to you Reflash?

I totally understand. Once I feel like I have a stable and great working ROM... those Kitchen gurus go ahead and mess everything up and release a New and updated ROM... lol.

Re: How many times to you Reflash?
 

once a week...yeah...but probably much less I'm waiting for iSWISH then one final flash for the whole summer

Re: How many times to you Reflash?
 

Wow, I'm a bit surprised already.

I thought #2 (every update) would be highest...

but I guess with every update comes 5-6 reflashes to get it "just right"

Re: How many times to you Reflash?
 

I have probably flashed at least 5 times with every kitchen release eperimenting and tweaking my cooked rom. I couldn't begin to figure what my flash count was.

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.

EDIT: I imagine there is some sort of wear-leveling since we use the program memory for whatever, but I would think there are some OS specific files, partition info, and what not that needs to be in the same sectors every time.

Once a week or so.
Usually due to either:
- new ce version
- bug fixes (and new additions)
- phone is slower and I don't know why
- free time

Re: How many times to you Reflash?
 

I've stuck with the stock ROM and have not had any problems. Of course there has been some tweaking. Although lately I have had the urge to try the latest from no2chem.

Re: How many times to you Reflash?
 

sometimes there is no need to flash, but I find myself bored with some spare time and I reflash just for the hell of it. it's like some kind of disease. lol I like speed timing my resetup after a flash, my best time so far is 22 minutes. about 20 cabs, and all my tweaked settings, I should really get off my *** and cab up my personal settings somehow

Re: How many times to you Reflash?
 

I reflash about 5 times on an average for each new kitchen release. The first few times are just for trying new OEM to quench my curiosity. Usually, I reflash again after a few days of use after finding out what I like and disklike in current oem selections.

Re: How many times to you Reflash?
 

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

Re: How many times to you Reflash?
 

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...:-P

Re: How many times to you Reflash?
 

22 min...no coffee involved right? lol

Re: How many times to you Reflash?
 

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.

Re: How many times to you Reflash?
 

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....
