Well I was wondering has anyone has personally flashed a phone.

- Specifically from verizon to cricket?
- What software do I need to flash the phone?
- How hard is it to do the flashing process?
- What features would be included/usable(texting/pix messaging/etc)?

Phone being flashed is a Samsung Alias(SCH-U740).

Thank you for all your input on the subject.

Here guy. If you have no experience doing this, make sure that you have a backup phone just in case you really mess things up. I learned all about this stuff by trial and error, it’s relatively simple if you just follow the instructions given very thoroughly.  
I’ve never done a U740, but plenty of razrs have crossed my path.

good luck
