Thats great and thanks for helping out a NB btw.

So a few more ?'s

First if I decide to try a new OS ROM, should I or is there a way to save my current one, I think I remember that this can't really be done but that the Verizons factory TP2 one is available now so is that the route that is to be taken?

Just find it and keep it handy?

2nd, so just to be clear, if I have a non-stock ROM, first I switch it back to the factory one, then do the hard reset then all is well?

In other words I don't ever want to do a hard reset with a non-stock ROM as this would brick it? Or is that OK it's just that it won't do a full restore?

Also one more silly question but, is the hard reset we are talking about one that would happen if I pushed that red rest button that is under the battery cover just above the memory slot? Or is there more?

Would the clear info thing be considered a soft reset?

Thanks and sorry for the continuing questions.

I dont think you can image your rom like you you can on a pc but you can use sbo backup (free trial) to back it up then when you reflash your stock rom you can just run spb backup and it will go back to the way it was when you backed it up. It you do a hard reset on a non stock rom it will restore it to the way it was right after you flashed the rom. The clear info is a hard reset and the red reset button is a soft reset. A soft reset it just like turning it off then back on, a hard reset it restoring it to factory default. Before you flash a rom make sure you hspl. I recommend mightyrom. Any of them, I use war.

Flashing back to the stock rom will actually wipe out any changes you made. However, I would definitely hard reset as well. You should always hard reset after flashing a new rom, because fragments from the previous rom can be left behind. You definitely want to hard reset to insure nothing odd is visible when you send it back.

You DO want to hard reset with a non-stock rom. This will not brick it. As mentioned above, parts of the previous rom can be left behind, and cause instability or other issues. A hard reset should get rid of anything left behind. It won't set your phone back to the default stock settings, just the default settings for that particular rom.

As already mentioned, the red reset button under the battery cover is a soft reset. Clear storage will do a hard reset. Or for Verizon, shut off your phone, and hold down the down volume button, and the red and green buttons until the hard reset screen comes up.

I use PHM Registry Editor. I'm placing a cab and a Link to the url in case the cab doesn't work...
