Am I Being Overly Paranoid?

Ive been a loving owner of a Tilt for quite a few months now, and have modded, changed, and added to it as much as i can. Recently ive been having a few troubles with the phone keeping a connection, so i figured i would backup things, and do a hard reset to get back to square one.
But i started looking and saw sakajati's new Hyperdragon ROM, and am now seriously tempted to flash this rom instead of just sticking with the WM 6.1 stock AT&T rom i have now. So far ive got everything i apparently need downloaded, and have read and re read the directions, faqs, and every guide on doing it to death.
My problem is i can't see to go through with the first step, i am just so worried about breaking my phone. I don't have the money to get a new one, and this one wasn't exactly cheap since i bought it out of contract. Am i just being overly paranoid?

Well, Its been said that its hard to brick your phone, but if you arent too confident you should have a techy friend handle it for you
Flashing in itself is pretty simple and easy to figure out from the wikis. Just be sure to follow all of the directions to the T. Also, to change roms, you have to use Jump-SPL to flash the Hard-SPL. Once thats on your phone it will be nearly impossible to "Brick"

haha i am the techie of all my friends. I know about using jump-spl to put on a hard-spl. Ive already got the jump-spl program on my phone, i keep getting nervous when i go to run it.
Guess i just wanted someone else to slap me in the face more or less and tell me its ok to do, even with all ive already read.

Well, i took the plunge. Already got HardSPL v3.56 on my phone, and am already more then half way through flashing the new rom. Im still rather nervous, but all is going well so far, so my hopes are high. i really can't wait to see my phone with this new rom, even if i gotta go through and get all the at&t connection settings done. Thankfully theres cabs for that
Thanks for the fast reply by the way

Well it went well I am so far fairly happy with the new rom. Only problem im having now is for some reason my phone wont get a data connection going. I have tried using the rr att settings cab, using the connection wizard, entering in the settings myself, everything i can think of. I hope that doesn't kill this rom for me.

make sure proxy is disabled

That did partially work Thanks for the advice though. Ive now moved on to try another rom. Now that i know how to do it its gettings addictive to try more of em. Onto duttys right now Already tried the new offical AT&T rom and Garmins. Hoping to find that perfect one i like the most
Way its going though i might be cooking my own since i can't find one just perfect for me.

would you mind to upload the att settings .cab mine are messed up and there site to send it is under going maintenance

DO IT! it was nervewracking at first for me (i voided my warrranty with all this good stuff just 2 hours after i got the phone xD)

i cant even tell you how many different roms i have flashed, only problems i have ever had were because of the radio, i can see the paranoia but just do it, and if you mess anything up you can always revert to the stock rom, which you can find on xda somewhere
the way i look at it is the tilt is a little old now, i got mine last december, so if i break it ill get another phone, which i am already saving up for now anyways

Becuse some sites like 4Shared do not allow files larger than 100 Megs

Talked to an att rep. and was told that the main problem is their network. He said its the same problem they have with the Iphone 3GS that it wasnt configured in their system yet and everyone who bought one with the new mms feature couldnt use it and they were getting calls nonstop. He also said that as soon as they release the fortress that the problems will be resolved. The only other thing I can think to do is find out how to get the system to recognize the touch pro 2 as a fuse mabey by replacing some rom files or OS files but dont have the know how to do so. I have tried cooking in the past on the fuse and tilt but every time I try to get something done Something else gets in the way like the wife or the baby or customers or fixing someones computer...... A never ending cycle of life on a daily basis. A good general breakdown of ROM cooking would be greatly appreciated. Like step by step without anything left out and an explination on what everthing does and how it works and changes a rom tweaks and all. Still waiting for someone to post a all encompassing tutorial........ Will pay for this advice, Hint Hint If I had the time Id do it but Business has to come before fun o r me and my family would be living in a shack.

I was able to send MMS fine before I flashed Manilla 2.5. So lemme get this right, its no manilla 2.5 its at&t?

Thats what Im thinking, And now that you mention it, it probably is something to do with the connection between 2.5/2.6 and the os on the device. The reps I usually talk to are regular not tech support because its a little harder to get the tech guys to stay on the phone chatting after they troubleshoot your problem unless you get a talkative one, Like I said Im no chef and it will probably get worked out in future releases of 2.5 and 2.6, I stick with 2.6 even with all the bugs mainly so Im aware of exactly how it works when a 100% working version comes out and the process of the changes are cool and gives me a reason to keep flashing my phone

droid 1 on metro pcs; available roms?

i have the DX and somewhat knowledgeable about ROMs and perks of each. unfortunately i am not too sure how the D1 and different ROMS would work since the radio is on Metro vs the standard Verizon that this phone is built on.
so my question is, which ROMs will work for her phone. also, will i be able to install any ROM i want without loosing the flash to Metro that i had to pay for and drive an hour out of town to get done?
this is my only concern is that whatever i install will break the flash and i do NOT want to screw this up.
i am seeing a lot of Camera application freezes and becoming a nucence. would it be just as easy to reinstall the Camera apk or is installing a different ROM even an option?
thanks for your support guys and gals. . . cheers

i say still try and root, flash a rom. i just flashed cy 6.1.2 stable. and i am going tomorrow to get metro flashed. but i say flash it cause you can allways re flash the stock .sbf and move on wit no problems.
but also did u flash metro or did you go pay to get it done. cause im tryna figure out how to do it myself. cause those guys had to learn it somewhere you feel me. so if you kno how please shoot me the steps so i can do mine. thanks in advance bro and hope you get it flashed.

i paid 50 bucks to get it done. at that price, why not. plus i have no time with a 5 month old baby. seems to be running ok though.
here is a link someone sent me that might help you out...
just asking, why do you think you can sbf it and re root and install custom ROM and it will still work on Metro? when you flash a phone to work on this provider, dont you change a bunch of things on the phone in order to make it work? i dont know how to do any of that and if i screwed up this phone and the wife was without it, she would flip out. i am sure you can appreciate that.
with that said, i would like to know if reinstalling the camera.apk would fix any problems.
maybe i will install Launcher Pro tonight for her vs ADW and see what happens. this isnt going to change the way the phone works.. only the way it looks.

just called some random person on Craigslist and they said there is only a few ROM's out there that will work with the Metro PCS.
is this true?
i would love to get her off this ROM, she has called me 3 times today complaining about the freezing and rebooting randomly. i would be upset too..
a little help please.

You need to go to samsfirmware and download the correct rom for yr region...Rule of thumb if you clearly dont know what you are doing with Roms and your phone then leave your phone well alone.......

I hang my head in shame, i did try and research flashing for a few days and finally got up the courage. I "tried" flashing darkys 9.3 but after the reboot loads of services would work. Frustrated all day as this is the 1st contract phone ive ever owned, feel such a pratt!Where do i go from here?

[Q] Failed to "nandroid" backup../New rom for flash or new phone?

Hi to all,
1. Awhile ago (in a distant galaxy, far away...) I rooted my Hero and moved over to CM7(a couple of times before getting it right...) During the process then, I failed to safeguard the nandroid backup, and no longer have that to fall back on...
2. Recently, I signed on with Hulu, and now want to use the Hero for watching videos and discovered... no way. I have spent a few days looking into this googling and going where it took me, and have spent today spending my time here looking. After searching and coming away with the realization that it isn't going to happen, I spent some time reading the first eight pages on the forum here to get familiar with the why's and why not's... but still have this little bit of hope that I have missed something... and I stumbled across the Zero Hero mod.
So, before I replace CM7 with Zero Hero, I thought I would check with folks who know way more than me....
1. Not having the original nandroid backup on file to use" in case of emergency" should I just leave well enough alone or use a recent nandroid backup of the currently working system (I am really unfamiliar with backing up in general...) to fall back on? I see no reason to ever need a backup of the original system that came with the Hero but... just checking!
2. If I utilize Zero Hero and replace CM7, will I be able to install Adobe Flash 10.1... or 10.2.. and use it to use on the web in general and Hulu specifically?
3. Am I trading of anything of consequence or importance by replacing CM7 with Zero Hero? (I am of the understanding at this point that CM7 is just not going to work with Flash Player. I also see that I will probably have to use another browser like Dolphin rather than the "stock" on the phone now with Zero Hero which is okay as far as I see things now.)
I will thank everyone now and again later (!!) for any answers, thoughts or opinions on any of the 3 questions together or any single question that they can help with! If your answer is to go ahead and buy a new phone... then I will start shopping!
Thanks a ton for your time and help,
mike :fingers-crossed:

A nandroid is just a snapshot of how everything is at that moment. So you can make a nandroid now and will always be able to go back to it for whatever reason.
Going between cm and sense is just a matter of preference. They both have benefits. Its just a matter of preference. You can install zero and nandroid, then go back to cm or switch between them as you wish.
Flash will never truly work on the hero. The sense roms have flash "lite" but flash won't fully work.
I was addicted to my hero and couldn't think of switching to a new phone. I finally did about a month ago and it really is amazing how much farther new phones are from the hero. I'd sadly recommend upgrading if it's within your means, but there's a few that are always here to help with the hero.

:good:
Thanks for your help. After all the effort so far on this, admitting this is deflating... your reply really confirms the slow dawning of this creeping around my head. It is time to retire the Hero I guess after all. :crying: It has been a faithful sidekick all these years.
Off I am to find a new phone, but what to do with all this info. I have acquired??? Guess I'll try to share it when I can...
Can I ask if you would recommend the phone you now have? Unless something else has come out since or is on the horizon??
Really, thanks, I do feel like I gave the Hero all I could :highfive: Closure, it does kind of feel good!

I switched to Verizon from cspire for several reasons. It's awesome having 4G. I got the s3. I'm loving it. The nexus 4 is coming out soon. I looked around for awhile before i decided. It was difficult going to a 4.8" from a 3.2" but it's nice to have more real estate. Its just up to you. Play with them at the store and you'll eventually find one you like.
