Re: Flashing Instructions to Ensure Full ROM Functionality

My mistake I figured since it was actually about flashing and theres a flashing sticky, I thought it would be here. Mod move to HTC Touch Pro forum please?

Also, any device that has RAM and or ROM will always have temporary cache files, which eventually can go corrupt on an abrupt soft reset just like in a PC when you reset it while it is doing something. The original reason why soft resets started being performed on Smartphones/PPCs was due to these corrupt files which would become then engraved into the ROM or RAM chip until it were forcefully overwritten or released from any electrical current. Which is why I flash with the battery off and unplug it when it is done. Then the hard reset ensures moreover that anything still miraculously 'alive' within said system storage is properly overwritten. On a PC you can simply take out the CMOS battery and reset the BIOS as to where on the phone I flash and then remove all power. On phones however we do not yet have a BIOS. I'm tired of typing and what not... If it helps anyone great... If you guys don't think it helps... Ask around the Tech1 CDMA thread and see how many people had ghost bugs... Later guys
