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

Thank you everyone so much!

Ive been sick last couple days and to keep my boredom down I thought I would root my HTC Hero (CDMA) Thanks to this site and its users my phone is running Fresh with ZenKernel OC at 768mhz. Even removed every app I dont use with Titanium Backup. (Coin, Call Mom, etc) Im in love with my phone all over again. Thank you all so much for all your help!

Your welcome I have a hero too, they're great fun to mod and play around with

i've been wanting to root my phone ever since i got it, but i have no time to do it .
Hope to get sick and have a little time to do it.

LOL It would have been easier if I had been reading up on it for a bit. Learning all the basic stuff like Nan backup and how to flash roms. But going from knowing almost nothing to now took alot of searching and reading. Aaaaa LOT! I wish I had learned more about the boot up options like Recovery before I started! That would have cut my time in half!!! Bu tits like one of them things. You just got to do it. Then you'll be like, WTH didnt I do that sooner! ( *But its ) that mistake was way to funny to fix. sry

[Q] Q??? how can i get the k-lean rom to take

ok ok this has been a nightmare of epic perportions. i have tried and tried to flash klean rom by boush i am running his v5 kernel on vzw galaxy tab. that runs great love it! And i have honestly read both of the forums front to back. I have had to flash back to stock oh 3 or 4 times now. trying to get this rom on here and i seriously can not make it happen. ive gotten it to take a couple of differnt times but it just hangs on the formatting system text as it installs. May i add at this junction that is scary as hell. it makes my butthole pucker every single time...lol But in all honesty i was wondering if any one had some info on how to get this to take for me. I would love to use his aosp rom,but the no headphones is no go for me i use the headphones like ten hours a day. so if some one wouldnt mind walking me through heimdall i would love to get this up and running. I have seriously tried every thing in the forums. thanks for the help in advance

The Heimdall README has all the instructions you should need.
However assuming you do need help beyond what is in the README you've left out the most important bit of information:
What OS is your PC running?

Now I used an all-in-one toolkit to flash stuff like i knew what i was doing 2 weeks ago, now that i have read like 400 forum posts, I know now that im pretty much screwed as my phone is not vastly supported anywhere on the inter-webs. Basically (i think) i flashed GSM stuff onto my phone, Ive gone through every single post i could find and have tried to reverse this thing for a while, im basically calling it a hard brick cause I am lost, When i boot it shows (this build is for development purposes only....blahblah... red txt with HTC logo, I CAN get into fastboot/hboot menus, fastboot commands work fine, I just really screwed something up good, anyone have any idea or way to fix this POS? At this point I could care less if my carrier works, Just want the damn thing to boot. Thank You in advance if you can help me at all.
(Not sure if this is right spot to post this, but due to less than 10 posts Im kinda SOL)

Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335368 also you could request an ruu from 'football' the op of that thread, he is the guy that supplies all the leaked firmwares/ruu for all of the HTC devices.
I think that's your best chance mate.

All of those are for the gsm desire c, which is what caused your problem to start with.
Don't flash any rom/ruu for gsm desire c (golfu). message football and ask if he can supply an ruu for the cdma version golfc, it may be worth offering a donation.

[Q] Yet another Bricked Nexus one

I have done it this time, I tried flashing a custom rom (Cynogen 10.1) and Ended up bricking it, I can get it into CWM but when I try to select anything the screen goes blank with just the image of the rom manager that is in the background and does nothing. It corrupted my SD card so recovery is not an option and Fastboot doesnt really work either. Kies doesnt recognize it neither does ODIN. I have tried just about every way to fix it that I have found and all it does is piss me off. CMD in windows does nothing. Anyone have any suggestions? Or can I just run it over with my car, I am totally sick of nexus, and the sidekick sucks just as much. So what are my options?

How about selecting with a different button? Like trackball instead of power, for example?
Nexus is super-easy to deal with and it's very hard to brick one. However, I suggest you read more to get the idea how to work with it. Fastboot is always an option, if you unlock the phone (and there is no reason to keep it locked).

Holy mother of god you make me feel like such a tard lol.... I don't really know why I didn't think of the trackball. I actually like the Nexus I was just incredibly pissed at it. But I used to track ball to flash the stock rom onto it, Now time to re-root it this time with the boot loader unlocked, and try once again. So erm it works again..... Thanks for the option that was just about the easiest one there is. Definitively going to read up on this phone. I need to for my own sanity and the knowledge of how to do things the easy way lol.
I seriously spent the last 4 hours googling and reading how to fix it and nothing worked.... Then you provided a fix that I should have caught after reading so many pages on google about it :/

You know Kies and Odin are for Samsung phones, right?

I should just stop before I get to far ahead of myself. But the posts I read about fixing this thing. A lot of them said something about using Odin. I can't figure out how to flash roms or anything on this phone. All I have accomplished is unlocking it and rooting it.
Otherwise I just don't understand hboot, blackrose, the s-off thing and or why or how I have to partition anything to install a damned custom rom. I have never had this much of a problem with any other phone than the nexus. Can't get cwm to stick and am considering buying 4ext since there is no free version I don't really have a choice. There used to be a free version but not anymore apparently.
But I have tried to flash a 250mb hboot. Which didn't work, tried to flash cm10.1 which also didn't work. I can't figure it out. I had a friend with a note that wasn't this much of a hassle either. So I am just about ready to give up. I am waiting for the iPhone to come out on T-Mobile late march and I think I'm just going to ditch android. Mainly cause it now is starting to cost money to customize these Androids cause cwm sucks and everything else you have to pay for it seems. Or stay current with the new nexus 7 or whatever. Then when you have a newer phone there is absolutely no point to rooting or flashing roms on it because the only reason for it in the first place is to increase proformance and or upgrade from the crappiest OS's like gingerbread and froyo to jellybean or ICS.
Its whatever I guess. Just too phone illiterate to be able to cope with new technologies I guess.
Hell even pulling a galaxy noteII out of a hard brick is easier than rooting and customizing these phones.

@kitsuKun, A lot of members here enjoy tinkering with their phone, including me to get the latest version of the Android OS on an old phone. It's not that we can't afford a new phone. So if you have questions, feel free to ask and don't whine

I am not trying to whine. All I am saying is I don't get the HTC. Can't figure it out. If I have questions I will ask but right now I dont, I have understood what I have read.
