It's much faster to just go into bootloader mode than it is to clear mem and go through all the customizations a second time!
Both are just as effective at releasing files from being used and giving you a clean flash!

As for getting into bootloader mode you don't need to remove a battery ever unless you get a connection error....

Simply hold down Power, Vol Down and hit the reset button with the stylus.

Keep the vol and power buttons pressed until you see the tri color screen.

Flash, let customizations run, then reprogram your phone as per your carrier procedures (vzw *228 1, it will reset then *228 2)
That sets up your data connection and SMS (Arcsoft) for your carrier.
