No, it won't make a difference

I've been using the Custom ROMs on this site for a while (which are for U8230) and it works absolutely fine

Woah woah woah!

I thought that some users with U8230s had problems when applying U8220 ROMs (but not the other way round) - non-working touchscreens, for example. If I remember correctly, Glycerin has cooked up a rooted U8230 image elsewhere in the forums.

Oo... So i must care about the different versions...

Mine was more of a holding reply to catch you before you flashed your phone and ran into trouble.

I'd recommend reading this thread (which I haven't really been following) and decide for yourself what to do: http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile...u8230-troubles/

Yep, as jmmL points out, you could run into trouble. It depends on which carrier you got your phone from. The MCR ROMs on this forum are based on the T-Mobile Pulse firmware so they really should only be used on the Pulse.

I think the following devices have all reported the touchscreen doesn't respond when using the Pulse MCR ROMs.

• U8220 Claro in Chile
  
• U8220 CTBC in Brazil
  
• U8220 Red Bull Mobile in Austria
  
• U8220 Sweden H3G
  
• U8220 China Unicon
  
• CHT 8000 in Taiwan
  

Basically if your device isn't a T-Mobile Pulse then you shouldn't install the Pulse ROMs unless you have a backup of your original firmware.

And if you decide to make a nandroid backup then also be careful - do NOT install 'superboot'. Most of the instructions on this forums suggest installing the Pulse Superboot first, which is fine for T-Mobile Pulse owners, but if you don't own a T-Mobile Pulse then you shouldn't install that.

It might be worth just sending a PM to PAUL, to see if he can give you a straight forward yes or no answer

the MCR and superboot for pulse doesnt work on the U8230! I've tested them and either the touchscreen not work or i get a loop at the startup! But i cooked up a superboot and a customrom for the u8230!
