Hard reset vs rom upgrade

[umasiva]

Hi, This is a strange question, but would like to know the answer ASAP. What is the difference between a hard reset vs rom upgrade with the same ROM?

Will there be a difference or it is the same, ie it will bring the mobile to the same state as when it was upgraded to that new rom?

:D

There will be no difference.

Hi, I did a hard reset instead of upgrading the same ROM again. But I noticed something. I had installed WM7ish.tsk theme before the hard reset. After the hard reset this tsk file I could still see the Home settings. Your ROM (as I am using the MSD 6.5.1.7 - 23085) doesn't have WM7ish.tsk. But even after hard reset this was still there. But if I do a ROM upgrade, it erases this too. Does this mean, there might be few settings, installs, registry entries, which wont be erased even after a hard reset?

Hardreset and flashing the same ROM again is not the same!

Flashing a ROM does not delete everything! That is the reason why you should always do a hardreset after flashing!
You can test it. After flashing the clock still has the right time. After a hardreset the time is reset to initial values. Time is not the only thing that does not get reset by flashing.

Hi, Yes you are right. But I am saying, when I hard reset the theme was not deleted, which is not part of the rom. I thought it will be like doing a complete format with a new rom and nothing will be there.

If I am right u mean to say, I should have done a hard reset when I had upgraded the ROM. But the wm7ish.tsk, I had never installed before. It was only after the ROM upgrade

@umasiva:
I didn't realy answered your posting! It was just an answer to the main question of this thread and to the people who said that it would be the same.

Your problem is very strange! As I said befor, a hardreset deletes more than just flashing the same ROM again. Make a hardreset, softreset if the rom tries to install something from ext-rom at first boot and then doublecheck if the file is still there and if it has the rom-file-flag.

how to find out on the rom-file-flag? Actually after a rom upgrade & hard reset, still the wm7ish.tsk is still there.
