When downloading it you'll either get all of it or none. if the download doesnt complete successfullly then the .zip/.rar file will be corrupt. When unzipping it will either complete it or corrupt it. When flashing it, it will either do it, or it wont. If the flash completes youre phone will work correctly, unless the rom you had on it before hand had radio data that conflicts with the new rom (which can be fixed by flashing stock) I think that is the most common thing called a "bad flash" and actually has nothing to do with the Custom rom flash the person just did. Also, IMO, most of these "bad flashes" are after people have installed CABS that mess with the rom in a negative way and cause it to not work correctly. When you flash a rom from your computer, to your phone (or SD card to phone), the data is there, on your phone. otherwise the little bar would never reach 100%. you can reflash and reflash and reflash, its just going to put the same data on the phone again. Now if a custom Rom had some weird radio data it flashed to your phone, then you flash straight to another custom rom thats expecting the normal stock radio info, you might have a problem. i really dont agree with the whole "bad flash" thing either drew.

wow amen brotha. tried to but couldn't say it as good as you well done
