Default What would happen Question.

Please Login to Remove!

What would happen if I downloaded the 4.2 OS for the 8800 from cingular and loaded that on my tmo8700g? Would that mess up the phone or disable features or something? I kinda wanna try and see what happens

I doubt it would even boot and even if it did you'd get error message after error message....

I highly doubt it will even let you try. It'll see the ROM on your device is 8700 and ignore the 8800 software

I tried just about every modification of the software package I could think of, and nada.

I suppose you COULD load the .cods on manually with javaloader, but you wouldn't be able to copy over the actual OS, just all the java apps and interface, so no doubt there'd be errors all over the place if it even booted.
