What are the advantages to flashing ROM?
I'm obviously new here. I want to find out what are the advantages of flashing ROM (especially for the mogul/wing). When you flash the ROM are you basically unlocking the phone?

flashing the rom (read only memory) is a process in which the read only system, os, and if its a phone device, radio software is erased then updated (or restored).

if youre installing a "cooked" or custom rom versus installing an updated rom from the manufacturer, that will dictate what is installed onto your device and if it will unlock your device

please just ask if you have any other questions

Basically you get a streamlined and tweaked version of the mobile OS. Gets rid of the extra crap that the provider includes.
Check out xda-developers for all the info you could possibly want on this topic. I'm relativly new to ROM flashing and after the 1st one I haven't looked back
