Once again, there is no evidence that flash dancing as you call it did anything. Afterall you reflashed what had become a poorly operating device.....Again....remember.....Flashing a ROM completely overwrites a chip. If you fllash to any ROM there is nothing remaining of the data that was on it before.

As a relative newcomer (a few months and 6 - 7 ROM flashes), the opinion as I have read it is that there is some difference in the 'flash' process on a 'signed' ROM (stock) and an unsigned ROM (custom). MightyMike had suggested the 'flash dance' toward the end of last year on the MightyROM forum because an unsigned ROM didn't always do a completely 'clean' flash on the NVRAM. Subsequent to this however, Mike also had a post that two 'hard flashes' (from the buttons) followed by a 'clear memory' before flashing (if you were having problems) was sufficient before flashing a custom ROM. Apparently there is some change in opinion on what is necessary even among the Cooks. I don't have enough experience personally to recommend one path over the other. Just an FYI from someone trying to come 'up to speed'.
