I just flashed my first phone, a Sanyo Katana LX, to cricket with Talk/Text/Web. Without this intro and all the other guides I would have been totally lost.

best tip I have seen is "READ READ READ and READ some more"

Thanks

Ive been reading left and right about flashing and there is alot of info to take in... and so far from what ive seen this is the one site that has it together the most in other sites they have one guy say one thing and another say sme thing else so thumbs up...
