Re: FLASHING TO STOCK JUST TO FLASH CUSTOM ROM's

I have flashed roms without flashing to stock, so I'm not saying it is a procedural requirement, but I personally have had stability issues that flashdancing cured. Not flashing stock may not have been the cause, but flashdancing removed the effect. I still feel it is a good idea. |

That was my two cents, I'm not trying to come off as a jerk or attack anyone, my only point was that flashing stock fixes/prevents some issues. I'm done with the topic. |
Re: FLASHING TO STOCK JUST TO FLASH CUSTOM ROM's
if i'm not mistaken, someone said to hard reset, and then hard reset again to make sure you got everything out that shouldn't be there. i wanted to try mighty's updated ROM if it's done so i think i'll give this a go. i THOUGHT i had to flash back to stock but if i don't have to, i wanna hurry up and get the new ROM on my phone!

Re: FLASHING TO STOCK JUST TO FLASH CUSTOM ROM's
I've flashed dozens of times(yeah,I'm a tad compulsive)and have occasionally had issues if I didn't revert to stock first. So my personal rule is stock first then flash. Using this method I have not had issues. I stick with what works for me, takes maybe ten extra minutes. I hate to get all my stuff/settings reloaded the way I like it on a new rom and then start having issues. But thats just me and my $.02. To each their own.

Re: FLASHING TO STOCK JUST TO FLASH CUSTOM ROM's
I have not seen one single speck of evidence, ever, that supports flashing to stock first. Yes, I have read plenty of posts from people saying they had a problem after flashing and they then flashed to stock, then back to the custom ROM, andthe problem was solved. It is much more likely the problematic ROM was corrupted in some way, and by reflashing they fixed the problem. Going to the stock had nothing to do with it....IT IS MYTH that has gained some legs in this forum. Remeber...ROM flashing completely overwrites the chip. The ability to flash at the file level is possible, but not done.

I have to agree that flashing back to stock seems unecessary. I've lost count of how many times I flashed my last 3 WinMos and I never flashed back to stock. I've never had a random hard reset. I generally will hard reset after my first full boot, but that's about all I do extra. |

I ran the stock ROM for several months... finally caved in and built myself a ROM using calk's kitchen. All was well. He released a new version of the kitchen and my phone crapped out. tmail.exe would lock up every 20 minutes or so and any texts after that point were lost, I'd have no way to know. The alarm would randomly not work. I had quite a few random problems. It happened with every build I made, no matter what options I chose. I gave up fighting it after he had two more beta releases of the kitchen with no change. I was still having the same problems which no one else was having. I flashed malatesta's ROM and didn't have those issues (built with SSK kitchen)... and it worked well for a while till it started locking up about a week later. The lockups got worse till it got stuck at launching Sense, then at the loading windows screen, then finally at the Touch Pro 2 screen. A hard reset brought it back for a day but it wasn't long before it acted up again. I went back to Calkulin's kitchen because he had a new release. Built a ROM with a brand new sys/xip... Same problems as before! Got frustrated and flash danced... poof, problems gone. I never used any other ROMs between having problems. It's been 4-5 days without major problems... which is a record since I started having issues almost a month ago. I'm about to make a week without a hard reset, FINALLY |
