So, my question is this. When flashing back to the Stock ROM, (after the flash has completed) and is booting up for the first time... how far into the setup procedure is necessary, before flashing another custom ROM? Do we have to let the carrier customizations run, calibrate the screen, etc. or can we just interrupt it with a reset, and force a boot-loader screen at some point and flash to custom ROM? Reason i'm asking is purely for time saving. It SUCKS sitting here waiting for all that to run thru before playing with a different ROM. Oh ya... I'm running the CDMA Diamond. On Bell
Thanks for your input.

Here's my general rule of thumb:
1. Flash Stock
2. Hard Reset
3. Let customizations run
4. Flash Custom
5. Hard Reset
6. Enjoy!
I always let the customizations run so that my phone was in the exact same state that it came out of the box in. I have never had a flashing related issue. You can probably get away without the customizations running, but I would still suggest a hard reset after the flash back to stock.
