The rom flash dance, yeah annoying. You don't HAVE to do it, but most on here will recomend it from what I have seen.

I believe the reason is to rid the device of any possible remanants of a custom rom. Along the lines of a blank slate for the new rom.

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

I flashed about 30 times on my TP2, but never did flash back to stock first. No problems unless self inflicted via installation of problematic cabs.

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

Flash back to stock. It only takes about fifteen extra minutes, and you save yourself and everyone on this forum's time when you try to troubleshoot. If you don't think it matters, go see the forums about random hard resets or other problems. If you don't do the dance, please don't waste anyone's time asking why something doesn't work.

That is like buying a car from the dealer, taking it home and swapping the engine with different one, putting the original back in, then asking the dealer to tell you what a noise is over the phone.

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

I think I've flashed my phone 60-80 times since the unlocker came out and I've flashed back to stock twice. Most times after a flash I am fine, but every once in a while I will get random locks or I will soft reset and it will be a hard reset. I just flash to stock and then put the custom ROM back on and everything is fine. But I don't flash to stock every time.

You shouldn't have to do that. There were some corruption issues with early visual kitchens that made it necessary to sometimes flash stock first, but those issues are long gone.
