Question,
Does everyone recommend a hard reset after flashing different ROMs?
If so, can the Chef's make it so that when the ROM is done flashing, the phone turns itself OFF instead of rebooting.
When it reboots, it goes through the whole setup process, screen alignment, and reboots again.
Then its recommended to do a hard-reset and then you’re forced to go through all of that again.
If the phone turned off instead of rebooting, you could do the hard-reset immediately.
can this be done?
a few of the new ones hard reset automatically now.

ROFL
Perform the hard reset at the "Tap here to begin blah blah blah" screen.
u should hard reset after every rom flash, period. it will save u ALOT of headaches down the road. some chefs have their roms set to autorun clear storage at first wm bootup after flash.
oh and this is a redundant thread. next time plz search
hahaha hardreset is a step u shouldnt skip..and after u flash u dont have to tap and set up everything and wait for it to reboot and hardreset and do it again...the first time u see tap just hard reset there
yep, because when it ets to the tap here screen, after the really long first boot, its fully installed the os. i think its still doing stuff before it gets to that screen though...
but just hard reset
Thanks to everyone that replied!
I noticed on some of the newer ROMS that it was doing something that I wasn’t used to..
Clearing storage
So I guess that is where some of the Chefs have it hard-resetting on its own.
and thanks everyone for letting me know I can skip the tap steps and just hard reset right away.
and since this is a duplicate thread, if you want, delete it.
My questions have been answered! Thanks
"the phone turns itself OFF instead of rebooting"
"some chefs have their roms set to autorun clear storage at first wm bootup after flash."
Execuse me. Isn't that most steps people talking about here is Soft-reset?
Honestly, I never did any HR after rom flash and no issue so far.

I've searched everywhere, and I can't figure out what to do. I bought my 8125 with the faria crossbow rom already loaded. I made some registry changes, using the registry wizard. All I changed was to turn off the message sent notification. After a reboot, I see the IPL and SPL (both 2.26)...and then instead of going to the crossbow logo, it just goes blank. After a few seconds, the green light starts flashing...and when I hit anything, all the buttons light up. It almost seems like it's working, but it's not displaying. I've pulled the battery a few times hoping for a miracle, but no such luck. I can get to the bootloader screen. If I understood the instructions correctly, I should be able to flash it from here with the love rom? I downloaded it, and the update utility is not in english. I tried to get through it, and I think I did it right...but I'm pretty sure it was giving me an error saying it couldn't connect. When I plug in the usb cable from the bootloader screen, it does say usb on the bottom. I'm pretty much stuck from here. Does anyone have any suggestions on my next step?
Thanks in advance...
You can just do a hard reset. Turn off the phone, then hold down the comm and Voice buttons then turn on the device. It will ask you to reformat memory. Press the green Call Send button to confirm. This will put you back to a fresh install of that rom (and you will lose anyting you loaded on the phone in regular memory).
If that doesn't work, then you can look at flashing. Read the sticky at the top of this forum on how to flash (by Vippie) and you will be good to go with doing that... Good luck!
The hard reset did it. I tried that earlier, but I guess I wasn't holding one of the buttons down all the way...or something stupid like that. Thanks for the help!
i read thru ampda_how_to_ppc_upgrades_v1_159 over n over again. i followed every steps COMPLETELY. i reached to the steps where i write the new big storage rom to my magician. when the process reaches 100%, i try to soft reset it but my magician just turns blank without resetting itself. i have tried over for almost 5 times and the outcome still the same... buddies any solution?
To flash then Hard reset then start setting up the ROM, or just flash and start setting up your phone.
What is the point of the hard reset after a flash of ROM?
Clean install. May just be my imagination, but I've had far better luck with ROMs when I hard reset after flashing...both other's cooked and mine - FWIW. Plus all the great chefs here seem to suggest it, which is enough for me.

I've taken the liberty of explaining the benefits of a hardreset after a flash.
Check my signature for the link called Things to do before and after a flash.

One the flash has completed and you get to screen that says “Tap the screen to begin to set up your windows-mobile device” perform a hard reset.
To do this press & hold your left and right soft keys. Those are the key that are just above the Internet and Message button and push you stylus into the reset button. Hold this for about 3-5 seconds. A screen will appear that says “This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press send to restore manufacturer default or press other keys to cancel” If you want to continue hit the green call button.
Once the restore is complete press the green call button again and this will reboot your phone. If you want to cancel out of this press any other button.
This reason behind doing this is quite significant. If you do this you will have far less problems then if you do not do it. Trust me on this. This is a proven solution to a lot of problems that many users will face.
[size=+2]YOU SHOULD ALWAYS PERFORM A HARD RESET WHEN FLASHING TO ANY NEW ROM![/size]

Sorry didn't mean to make the text so large. Just copied and pasted it from the WIKI.
Glad I was able to help.
When I turn on my device (TP) it ALWAYS asks me to align the screen and to config the calender and time, and also it asks me if I want to put a lock on it. (However the startup video does NOT show)
This is really annoying! Because I hade soft resetting or turning of the device, because I know I need to do that align and configs again!
I've hard reseted my device once, and before I hard resetted my phone, it wasn't like this! Is there a way to turn this of?
Just out of intrest, do you loose any data when you startup. Examples are other Windows settings, contacts, messages, history etc?
sorry, double post
Just to be clear, are you properly aligning the screen? I had to talk a geeky mate of mine through the process. He was briefly tapping the screen and the cursor wasn't moving around the screen as it should. I had to explain that you have to keep the stylus pressed gently on the screen over the little cross until it moves to the next position. Repeat at each position.
Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs.
Uhmm, No I don't loose any data (settings or anything)
Also, yes I align the screen correctly I guess. I do it just as you tell me
But it's like, when you first got the phone, You first installed the WM (I don't) Then you align the screen (This I have to do) Then it asks you to tell it what time it is (This I also got to do every time i turn off and on my device) Then it asks if you want to have a code lock, you can skip or press next to make a lock (This I also have to do, And YES, I have tried to make a password and then just delete it afterwards) Then it tells you to type in PIN code (I also got to do this, but this is nothing I want removed hehe) Then lastly it auto configurated what network you use (For you guys ATT and sprint maybe, I got NetCom - Also this I do NOT have to do)
Please help me! hehe
Really annoying that I need to config this setting each time I restart my Cellphone
Has i always been this way? Have you not had the phone long?
It sounds like you didn't hard reset your phone after you either turned it on for the first time, or flashed a custom ROM.
I bet a hard reset will work, if not then it sounds like a hardware problem. Like back in the old days before WM5 if your battery died, thats it it would wipe. This is because the memory in the phone is volitile. Your phone might not be keeping the settings or supplying enough power.
Try a hard reset first, this usually solves most problems like this

As said, I got this phone for christmas, I turned it on, and had to set it up, I did, and when I restarted the phone I did NOT have to set it ut again!
After 1 month I hard reseted it (Because of a bad program which ruined my dailpad) and now I have to set up the phone EACH TIME I turn it on!! (I do not have to install WM or config the Network)
OK, so I've Hard Reset my device again, works perfectly now!
so, out of sheer curiosity I was playing with some of the on phone options and saw a little deal that said "encrypt storage"..... well long story short I was not aware that you could not UNdo this without factory reset of the phone, so I have been using the phone this way for awhile.. nothing really a big deal, just annoyed having to enter a code every time i reboot the phone, or leave the screen off for >5 min, and have to re enter the code when i turn the screen on.... now ofc when I attempt a factory reset on the phone it self... it doesn't do anything the phone reboots and its the exact same lol, I'm thinking that may be from me having a custom ROM on it.. so I will attempt to wipe data via fastboot/adb CMD... and hope it works...
now that the explanation is out of the way, I am curious.. will erasing the phone data either by on the phone or thought the CMD, will it unroot and re lock my phone? or is that set and not bothered by data erasing?

If you are properly rooted it should not touch anything other than data.
