I understand that it is a procedure to flash a new ROM but what are the steps exactly and why do you need to do that?
When we jump ROM to ROM files can get written to the wrong location and create a bit of chaos.
Flashing to a SHIPPED stock ROM re-writes the radio and helps but everything back nice and tidy

The process (there is some personal preference variation)
Flash to Stock ROM, hard rest, flash to custom, hard reset.

Some start with a hard rest of the current ROM but I've been skipping that step without any observable difference.

You dont NEED to do it unless you are having random wierd issues not posted by anyone else such as random soft/hard resets.
I do it frequently so I know I'm starting a ROM with a "clean" install.

EDIT: austin was a bit quicker on the draw
