I just got my i730 from Verizon, I have been reading up on this forum for a couple weeks to get familiar with the hacks and the process of upgrading and such.

I understand how to do all the hacks and upgrades via FAQ and sticky threads. Thanks to all who helped creat them.

What I am confused with is, in what order do I install/upgrade the different software/hacks/OS?

This is a fresh phone with no data on it so I don't have anything that can get erased.

DO I first upgrade to WM5 then do all the tweaks and hacks?

Which order should I do assuming I am going to install WM5 and do all the tweaks found on this forum.

Thank you for your help.

Loading WM5 on your i730 will erase anything, so if you load any hacks they will be gone when updating.

1. Activate your phone and do a few test calls to make sure it's working.
2. Load WM5
3. Hack the phone to your hearts content, and you if look, you will see a copy of my setup guide for WM5, which should get you started...

Most of the hacks where for WM2003 and arent needed on WM5 so read before you hack.
