This is the 6th time I've flashed today. I'm playing around with cooking a vanilla ROM and believe me, when (if) it's finished, you'll swear it came straight from HTC. 8 MB PP, based on Faria's vanilla ROM.

When's the next meeting?

Hi, my name is Steven and I'm a phone flashing addict.

As a founding member of the Unhappy Wives Club here it's nice to know that we weren't (and aren't) alone!

However there's hope! Yesterday I upgrading to the Hermes and presented my lovely wife with my Wizard (replacing the Blue Angel handmedown) and she actually asked that I continue to keep her new PDA running the latest and greatest even though I'll be spending the majority of my time on the Hermes forums... maybe she'll want to learn how to cook... hmmmm...

Hello, my name is James, I am a recovering MotoModder. I loved my MoMo, she had a new flash/flex at least twice a week. At first I only flashed other people's work. Then it grew from there. Before you know it I was writing my own gain tables and making skins for iTunes. But that was then...

Five days ago I ordered the 8125 from cingular.com. Two days ago it came in. Today it got flashed!!! I feel like the guy who quit smoking but started dipping copenhagen instead :D

I hated to give up my ROKR E1!. The phone would not die, you could always revive her!

And to think I told one of my friends I finally got a new phone, one that I couldn't mod :rolleyes:

Just got X-plore 1.0 on my wizard and told my wife I'm done messing with it, I have it just how i want. Now, I see there is a new RUU ROM out there and have downloaded. I haven't flashed yet, but that's probably cause i need to get my battery above 50%! Flashing isn't the hard part, its reinstalling all the apps and setting up my cingular wireless account and exchange folder. Pretty much got all the configurations memorized. Yeah, i think its gonna be a late night....

I feel better now that I got that off my chest.

I'd like to try this ROM flashing stuff.......Somebody tell me where to get started and If I brick the phone, is there a way to just flash it again to recover or once it's bricked is it over?

Wrong thread for you! ........ :mad:
People here have real problems....we flash & can't stop! :D
Keep reading and you'll find what you're looking for. Help is given once you do your research and people can tell by the questions you ask. Not trying to be a jerk but you're in the wrong place if you want someone to hold your hand.

Going along with dwny here. . . A good place to start would be the thread I've linked to:

The 12-step program has been "reserved" for those of us that just can't seem to get enough, and keep living dangerously "on the edge". . .

Is your 8125 a G3 or G4? Is it unlocked?

I am really having problems. No new roms for at least 4 days. I couldn't stop myself, and tried flashing the new German T-Mobile rom and converting it to English. Went to bed at 5 am. Finally had to revert back to X-plore when I realized I needed to actually use the damn thing to be productive! I spend more time flashing, re-installing and tweaking, than I do actually using it! Sick..

I've had a new situation arise today... My SBSH Pocket Breeze, Pocket Weather, and Pocket Informant all "expired" from their "trial" modes (I have codes, but I've been flashing so often I haven't taken the time to put in codes since I flash and reload them again in a few days). This means I've been on one ROM for some time now! Flashing Withdrawls are starting to set in again ;) I've even started looking at old WM5 ROMs that I've never tried... Sheesh...
