Re: Logic behind flashing phones multiple times

If the radio that you have installed is compatable, and you didn't error out during the flash process, just do a hard reset of whatever ROM you have installed. Any issues you have will almost certainly be resolved after a hard-reset. (center button, volume down, depress stylus to reset for 5-10s. Volume down to confirm system wipe, voume up to restart).
well... that's not entirely true. I've had several times where no amount of hard resets would get the phone working right. Only a flash to stock then to the updated rom would get it working again. Not sure of the logic behind it, but it seems to especially be true with 6.5.
