Hard Reset Necessary?

---

So I use the Kumar roms and I was wondering, if I flash from version 1.5 to 1.6 of the same rom is it still necessary for me to do a hard reset? Or is it any time you update the rom, you must do a hard reset? What happens if you don't do a hard reset?

Thanks!

You don't have to do a hard reset but it always ensures that are no old sys files left that may have been updated in the version. It will help prevent any bugs or glitches from occuring but hard resets are not required with a new flash.

Or just run task29 first and u wouldnt have to hardreset...

lol, doesn't Task29 delete EVERYTHING? I mean, technically you're right, I wouldn't need to hard reset if I do a Task29.

Basically, I don't want to have to re-setup my phone every time I want to load the latest ROM.

Since it's the same ROM just updated it should be fine right.... right?

Well every time you flash a new ROM even if its just a newer build of what you already have it still wipes you phone and is basically the same as a hard reset. The reason why it is recommended run task 29 is because there are files that a hard reset DOES NOT remove that you dont want to have interfering with the new build. So I guess Im confused why are you worried about a hard reset if you just flashed and theres nothing on your phone to reconfigure anyway. But look into a UC program that will install everything that you want as the phone sets up for the first time so you dont have to do. Makes it much easier.

You have to reset everything if you want to flash a ROM. There is no getting away from it.

I need to learn to use UC better or even Sashimi.

I HATE having to set everything back up after a new rom flash.

But yes, I would agree you should be running Task 29 before each flash...although I was puckered up the entire first time I tried it.

Maybe I'm a strange guy but I never do a hardreset after flash and I never experienced a problem for not doing that.

I just don't believe in it and I jump from build to build to base to base while I'm cooking.

Does HTC or T-Mob recommends you to do that after a flash?

hah, you probably dont stay on one rom long enough to notice whether it works or NOT!

I don't either. hard reset after flash doesn't do anything different, I don't know why people say it matters.
