One too many flashes... (VZW TP)

Using Clear Storage is ALWAYS the last resort for frequent flashers as it adds the extra steps that are not really needed.

Not sure if you were aware of this or not. I know I was not and am very glad it was pointed out to me.

Hmm, wasn't aware of that difference. Thanks. I had just been doing "Clear Storage" immediately following a flash.

So, the more efficient way is to do the button combo after a flash?

Yes! Hold both the center button and soft reset button until you get the restore message. Hit the up volume button to start the process and then hit the up volume button when it is complete and you are all done.
