Do I have to flash the Radio? my device is already rooted and working, not sure if the flash for the radio is different for each rom or whatnot. > 2. What is S-OFF? System off? 1. I have done some reading a lot on this. Don’t mess with the radio if you don’t have to. Flashing the wrong files to your radio can brick your device. 2. S-OFF is unlocking the NAND portion of the device which is where the ROMS are stored and being able to write to it. You need S-OFF to flash a custom ROM. ---

Ya I bounce around between roms becuase different ones do different things.I had one that was power hungry so backed it up and now running gingerbread on my Inspire. Clockwork allows you to backup, wipe clean, and install a new on really easy with with google sync, you can quickly get all your apps back. ---

Whenever I enter the word “you” in a text on my phone (droid x, latest updates, not rooted) the keyboard disappears. The message doesn’t send, it just takes me back a step to where I can see the entire conversation, but no keyboard. Anyone heard of this before? Tried other words ending in “u” and the keyboard is fine… Also only happens as long as “you” is not the first word in the text. If I text “You know” then it is fine… Been happening for probably a week or two at least. ---

Downloaded a rom, used Clockwork Recovery, Rom said it installed correctly, phone was in a infinite reboot loop. Now it won’t turn on…FML Had to do a factory reset and apply the Gingerbread rom to the phone…it’s working pretty well now. ---
