Simple steps to flashing your own rom

[PapstDFrisco]

I decided to use spl2.40 since I wasn't having much luck with the 2.47.
Going from stock. I Flashed sprint 3.56 rom did not let boot past htc screen that shows the rev #s - rebooted back into boot-loader. Then flashed dcd 3.2.2. After reboot did the dcd vzw carrier cab. Then flashed the new radio via SD - and it actually worked.

I then appeared to be having radio problems as it would not find a tower. Eventually it did and I was able to do the *228 prog & roam updates. I have since been able to make calls so my A-Key didn't get hosed - but again I have no data connection.

So, the only thing that I can take from this experience is, I'm not sure wtf causes the PRI to get screwed up. It just happens sometimes no matter which sequence I follow.
