Ugh, i got popped by 120 about a month ago. Felt a lot of things. Ticklish wasn't one of them. Didn't hurt for long at all though. Forgot about it for a week. Then my thumbnail fell off.

Electricity is not my friend.

I've only done that a time or two. It's really only useful to remove a bootsplash screen that gets cooked into the ROM. Or, if you have major issues after flash and hard reset.

Industrial electrician for a decade or better. The only thing that makes me actually find a breaker is 277. 1200 amp switchgears don't bother me as much as 277 lol...it's a fear thing. 277 got me once, never again.

Only time I have EVER had to go back to stock was when flashing energy ROM from over at XDA. Bootsplash wouldnt go away no matter what. I have also done it once or twice during testing to rule out a issue of something being left over from a previous build.

Hard reset after flash is almost read again ALMOST always enough.

1. Make sure your phone is unlocked prior to flashing.
2. Download your preferred ROM and flash.
3. Allow all customizations to run and allow for first boot.
4. Hard Reset.
5. Note any issues that appear prior to restoring contacts, or installing additional software, CAB files, drivers, etc.

6. Report those issues to the chef.
7. If problems arise AFTER you've installed software, don't report those items as ROM issues in the chef's thread. State that you installed "X" and this occured. It makes it very difficult for us to diagnose an issue when we have no idea you installed "X" until after the fact.

We don't get paid for this. We do this to bring the most features and speed to our phones. Help us keep that alive.

Thanks!

Fallen...
Good advice, I will do this from now on when reporting problems. I really appreciate the great work all you chefs do!

No kidding dude...You'd think this forum is full of PDA totin' geeks or somthin. OBVIOUSLY, my idea of "Idiots Flashing" is different than the OPs :mrgreen:. Woohoo, back to the party.

:headbang: Usually you should do a hard reset after a fresh flash, but I have tried alot of rom's that sometimes I forget and I didn't have any issue's. But yes you should do hard reset after flash.
