iv just hard reset my phone to clear off all the programs & rubbish id accumulated over the last month of having my phone. When i hard reset it, will i have cleared hardSPL etc, or am i alright just flashing duttys rom again straight away?
cheers guys
anyone? thanks
Everytime I´ve made a hard reset with a custom rom it has stayed there and the HardSPL as well. If I´m not mistaken you will not go back to stock rom because you´ve overwrtitten it with the custom rom and thefore the custom rom will boot up again BUT with all settings, installed programs and other changes you´ve made cleared. So if you had Duttys rom and made a hard reset you will still have Duttys rom.
I reset the device by going into settings, system and then clear data and afaik it has reset it to the HTF default, cant see any mention of duttys ROM. Also noticed the phone to be much much slower.
is it likely to be the HTC ROM or duttys ROM that im currently left with?
hardspl stays... thats why its called hardspl. it resists hard resets.
thanks for the response, just what i wanted to hear!

Im wondering i was reading this this post on the cingular a2dp aku2.3 test rom and i have that flashed but as soon as the ext rom loaded and started the customizations i reseted to cancel them. i then read that faria had made a ext rom that had no cingular settings in them so i loaded this. this is what he wrote.
his is a proper extended-rom .nbf is not a folder containing the files
To install unzip the folder and run the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe
You will not lose any setting that you have in your rom. It simply updates the extended-rom.
when’d you decide to hard reset you device again the extended rom will load automatically as in the official rom , there it is .no Cingular stuff .

but i read a hard reset is when you do clear storage and its supposed to loose all your settings. hows that supposed to work then. am i reading wrong or doing something wrong
The Hard Reset reset state will depend on the ROM you have flashed on your phone. Hard resetting will force the extended rom customisations to be loaded up (unless you skip them).
Faria may have made (I've no experience with the particular files) a ROM "update" that just updates the extended rom with the no cingular settings stuff - everything else stays the same after his "upgrade". Then, hard resetting will force the system to install from his custom extended rom rather then the original ROM's extended rom.
Hope that's correct and makes sense!

ok but the thing is how do i do it. I mean the way i read in the manual and the way i read on other forums wipes out your wholedisk. or am i mistaken.

A few of us have made Update Roms which don't have the OS portion in them. If you don't flash the OS then your settings are not lost.
Faria's Extended ROm Only Flash is a perfect example of one of these updaters.
so if i flash the ext rom then go to the clear storage and do it and answer yes to it. and do that hard reset my stuff wont be lost even though it says it wipes the storage

You will always lose your settings etc on a Hard Reset!
You won't lose any settings if you flash the Extended Rom or Radio Rom.
grrrrrrr i dont think you are understanding me.
ok i flashed the rom complete os. Then i reseted before the cingular settings went into effect. then i flashed with the faria extended rom. I didnt do a hard reset so the rom customize didnt go into effect. I set everything up like i normally use. should i even do a hard reset now . or should i just leave it like it is.
second. If i flash the cingular rom again. cancel the cingular customizations. then install the ext rom. then do a hard reset would i have to reflash the rom or would it leave the blank rom on there

If you want the customization from the Faria Extended Rom then you have to do 1 of two things:
1. Hard Reset and let the customizations run..
2. Manually run the customizations either by unlocking the Ext Rom so you can do it or using Total Commander.
#1 loses your current settings, #2 does not.

If your goal is to have fresh device with the Cingular Rom and Faria Custom Extended Rom then your best course of action is:
1. Flash the Cingular Rom.
2. When your device resets itself, enter Bootloader (holding Camera button).
3. Flash Faria Extended Rom.
4. Hard Reset Device and do initial set-up allowing customizations to run.
Really dumb question. I am about to install the HTC WM 6.1 ROM. I checked the Wiki and FAQs and they mention doing a hard reset before flashing. i'm sure though I saw a mention somewhere about doing one AFTER flashing too but am blowed if I can find it now. Is it necessary? My thinking is that the ROM flash will totally blitz the device anyway so no further reset is needed???
Its just a recomendation, you dont have to personally do it yourself. It's just there for if you want to. Personally I do it just so I know that everything is okay after my initial install its up to you.
Yeah it's necessary to hard reset after upgrading. Check the last last couple of paras of THIS for further info.

It says it clears most problems, well I never have too many problems with mine so. I guess do what it says.
You'll find that your device will run better on a new rom if it hard reset immediately after flashing. Also, on a lot of the newer 6.1 roms, it is also recommended that you also power down the device after flashing
hi,
as I updated the duttys ROM I got told from dutty, that
I should hard reset my HD after flashing.
The weird thing is, that if I update a Rom I must recalibrate the
screen, setup date, time and tomezone, reinstall my apps, restore
my contacts and so on. So isn't that already a hard reset?
When not, why not? Whats wrong with it?

In theory yes, but there isn't just Dutty's rom, which needs a hard reset just after being flashed.
Hi guys
Sorry I did a bit of a search but not getting the answers I want to know.
When flashing between cooked roms when I had my hermes i used to hard reset > flash stock > hard reset > flash cooked >hard reset > hard reset
With my diamond i just hard reset > mtty format > flash new rom > hard reset.
I am new to Blackstone and am now trying to figure out do I need to flash to a stock rom or can I run mtty before flashing a new rom? is this not needed with the Blackstone/Touch HD?
Thanks for any info

If you flash any roms, you should always do a hardreset after flashing.
Thats it,
and to Boost your Touch HD use HD Tweak or Advance Configurator

sometimes i hard reset, sometimes i dont, i never experienced any problems, never could find an answer why we should hard reset after flash, since when flashing a rom , a new one dont leave any of the old stuff left. Dont know so much about it but i suspect its some superstition involved
anyhow, it wont hurt to do one just in case
I normally just flash and then hard reset (just to be safe and because the chefs often say to do so) I have on the odd occasion just flashed and not hard reset and that also worked fine for me.
I see however that a few frequent flashers have been experiencing problems and the suggested fix for this is as you used to do on your hermes, ie first flash to stock and then to cooked rom again. I have never had to do this (so far at least ).
To be safe I would just hard reset after flashing and only if getting funny errors that others aren't experiencing then I would consider going to stock first before again flashing to cooked.
+1, would agree with ClydeB1, after each flash I would generally perform a hard reset before automatic configuration takes place (generally by removing battery, re-inserting, and then hard reset). I have heard people say to perform 2 hard resets, but I have never experienced any improvement doing this after testing on many roms. I have however at times noticed a slight responsive improvement after one, but not on all roms.
I have never had to reflash stock before flashing cooked roms, but I do know people who have done, though this is only if problems occur.
Only reason why I have ever had to reflash stock was when I had a upgrade rom code error, BLAC100 stays in bootloader caused by flashing process stalling half way through, and this has only happened once and I've flashed 100's of roms
Thanks for the information guys!!
hi everyone, ill start by saying sorry if this is in the wrong place, but anyway, i am currently using itje touch it rom and i love it, but i saw his touch it leo rom and i like that one better.
My question is if i put on the leo rom do i have to hard spl the phone again?
thanks in advance for the help, and keep up the good work.
p.s sorry for my noobish-ness lol i oinly got my x1 yesterday.
NO, you only have to install hard-spl once.
wow that was sooo quick lol, thanks very much, i thought so i just wanted to make sure, as i read on a different site(cant remember) that you did, but on xda the threads say you dont lol.
again thanks you.
Haha, no it's fine to do it once. The hard-spl will stay on your phone after each flash. spl and rom have nothing to do with each other. So only once!
another question
i have another question. it says in every thread that hard reset after installation.
if i use the PC method (with rom update utility that is) would i need to hard reset as well? also what is the purpose of hard resetting? does it improve the performance ?
I recommend everybody to do one or two hardresets after flashing the rom.
hardreset basically resets your device and starts flashing the rom out of the memory.

hardresets normally removed left-over files from the previosu ROM's after flashing. This should, in theory, provide you with a clean ROM to start with.
