Ok probably a basic question but here goes....

I purchased a T-Mobile PPCPE, however, I am on AT&T, could I:
Go to an AT&T store that has a demo SX56, take an SD card dump the ROM, then take and restore it to my T-Mob, thus making for all intents an purposes an SX56? Also what is the preferred upgrade/flash method? Does everyone back up both bootloader and CE or usually just CE? I would think you's want to leave the bootloader alone and just mess with the CE ROM correct (unless you wanted a feature from a previous bootloader).... any thoughts?

All your assumptions are correct: the ROM determines what device it is, and you want to do CE only when you can.

Thanks again! Now to find an AT&T store with a demo SX56 or someone who wouldn't mind me borrowing their SX56 for a couple of minutes.....hmmmm :twisted:
