Re: flash to stock
It would be a good idea to flash to stock then onto the next custom rom, just to ensure you are "clean".

Re: flash to stock
it may be myth. some people swear by flashin back to stock before flashin a new rom to get all the old bugs out from one rom to the next. i never do tho. i do always hard reset as soon as i flash tho. after the new rom is all loaded and set up i hard reset 1 time. that could be myth too tho.

Surely the roms completely erase the old roms when they flash over (vs just installing over it)?

Re: flash to stock
i think installing a rom without first flashing it is like installing an upgrade of a pc OS... if u do a clean install its always best... keeps off the bugs and issues from the older OS thats how i see it

But when it comes to roms, aren't "flashing" and "installing" the same thing? Unless flashing is just the process of putting a new rom onto the device, then it being automatically installed after the flash.. |

Re: flash to stock
Flashing does overwrite everything. It should not, in theory, be necessary to flash back to stock first. However, many people, myself included, have found that it put an end to problems we were having with random freezes and even hard resets we didn't ask for. I don't think anyone quite knows why flashing to stock seems to do a better job of clearing things up, but if it works, why ask why?
I don't think you have to do it every time. I've flashed a dozen times since I did it last and haven't had any problems with the random hard resets since. But if you're having problems, or if a chef recommends you do it for a certain release (like Mighty did on one of his awhile ago), I'd say give it a shot. |
