Hard reset - when to? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Of course it is always recommended to do a hard-reset after flashing a new rom.
Now I was just wondering WHEN it should be done.
Should I flash the rom, do the set-up (time, auto-configuration et cetera) and wait until it's really running for the first time or should I do it right after flashing without waiting for the whole set-up thing?

I do it right after flashing. I don`t know is it right, but everything seems to work fine.

Wouldn't the hard reset wipe all the config anyhow? You'd be stuck in a loop forever.

Will hard reset format the Internal Storage?
Can i just click the Clear Storage command in the WM6.1 Settings?
Is that the same?

When hard-resetting, you'll get the option to format the NAND or leave it intact.

After rom upgrade

I've read a couple times that after rom upgrade one should hard reset.
What is the and is it really necessary? If yes when should I do it after all settings and customization is finished or immediately after flashing finishes?
Thanks

Hi there.
Well I will point this out, if you don't do it. Your rom (that maybe is bugfree), can contains some strange bugs. And when you ex. say it to a cook, he can't figured out of the problem, because he don't have it
I always do this.
Put diamimg on internal storage.
Flash the phone.
Hard reset it, right after.
Now you phone is ready

CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 1

HI all,
I've flashed CWM5.5 from the recomended thread and installed Cyanogen 9 Alpha 1. Unfortunatly the phone seems to boot up but does never leave the boot animation screen (yes I've also flashed gapps after cyanogen).
Anyone can identify this pattern? On a normal device I could hook it up through a serial cable and try to debug the boot... Eventually how can I do that with a I8150?
Well, any help would be most welcome. I'm totally available for testing and I do have some experience with Linux even at a very low level/system space.
Install
Use CWM5.
Warning: Only use this recovery to flash CM9. Otherwise, you risk bricking your phone!
Wipe data and cache.
Flash update*.zip.
Flash gapps*.zip. You must flash gapps after every upgrade to CM9 since /system is formatted, wiping your previous add-ons.
Reboot phone.
After you setup your Google account, reinstall the three apps from Market in order to restore most of your apps, call log and SMS history.
Warning: Do not restore backup data of system apps!
If you restore a bad backup with cached settings in telephony.db in data/data/com.*.*.telephony it can break MMS.
It seems that restoring backups can also break Calendar sync.
read it thoroughly ...
1st you must flash update*.zip
2nd gapps*.zip
that just about it ....
what is your current kernel ?
That was pretty much it... I've restored not the original operator crap ROM, but instead the Value Pack ROM.
CyanogenMod9 seemed to install ok, but just looped and the phone didn't finished the boot. I'm not really sure on what happened. I'm just finishing restoring the stuff
I'm guessing you didn't wipe data/cache.
I did a factory reset, but sure, it might not have wiped the whole thing... Going to try again.
@argo68
True mate, the issue was not wiping the user cache. I've wiped the cache now from ClockWorkMod and it worked ok. Takes some time to boot compared to the stock samsung ROMs but it works fine
Anything you need tested ? I can most likely help.
I do have a problem with apps though, for example, GMAIL doesn't show the body of the message... as you can see on the screenshot, but I guess this is a app related issue maybe?
http://susepaste.org/images/39081870.png
After a reboot somehow it boots a bit faster and the gmail app is now displaying the body of the email and it seems a bit faster...
Good work, gonna ride this for a few days and see what happens.
@argo68
If you need beta testers, let me know. I'm off work this days but can't wait to get into my lab and check this stuff deeper

just in case he takes offence, which I don't believe he would

Hi I'm using this cyanogen mod for quite a few days now. The back side of the phone is always warm and the battery is drained very fast. Anyone have this similar problem?
I'm sure that I install the ROM correctly as i cleared everything on the phone with CWM 5.0.0.4 before and after. (Phone data / Cache Partition / Dalvik Cache / Battery Cache)
Any help would be appretiated
No such problem here. You should use an app to check what frequency the phone is running at in idle, and also how much load there is on the cpu.

according to everyone i've talked to, we're boned. These phones wont accept a flash, they never enter fastboot to flash them.
you could pay to have lg fix it but they refuse to quote costs before they have the phone in hand

Wipe fully to ext4 using AROMA or Defy full wiper script and immediately flash a ROM. The factory reset problem is mostly due to using the stock recovery for wiping.
Be sure that you /system patrition is formated in ext4. Otherwise format it using the 2nd recovery

[Q] Having weird issues, could it be my setup?

Let me start off by saying that I bought this phone already rooted so I didn't have a chance to learn with it. Every time I flash any rom that people say should work well, it doesn't work great for me. I flashed the latest version of TWRP myself. Now, in order to get a good flash, what should my mounts be set to? Currently they are preload, ext sd, and internal. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but even on something as stable as cm 10, I still have issues. (Slowness, no gps even after fix, and some other small stuff). Help please and again, I am a total noob so I apologize for that.
This also causes problems when I install a kernel. It will never load the system. Even if I wait one hour, do a hard reboot and wait another hour, it still won't load. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but what?

What version of TWRP are you using? I heard 2.6 may have some issues?? Also, did you do proper wiping procedures, such as factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe, etc before modding a new ROM? Which new ROM are you flashing, and did you flash a new radio with it?

First, what is it flashing procedure? I should be downloading rom to ur external/internal SD card, then boot to recovery and make a backup of data, boot, and system partitions, then wipe dalvik cache, system, data, and cache 3x each, then go back to main menu and choose install, find the rom and flash it, if aosp also flash gapps, then reboot, shouldn't be having any issues if u follow that procedure, and upon first reboot let the phone sit for around ten min or so to let everything settle, the first few days or so things will still be settling in so give it 3 full battery cycles before u start guaging performance, I'm on twrp 2.6 and never had an issue yet an I'm a flash addict, u could also try reverting to stock with Odin and then starting over, Odin give a more complete system wipe so u may have some corrupt files somewhere, but like I said if u follow that procedure u should be ok

OP 5T Issues

I'm facing these problems with the 5.0.3 update
1)not receiving calls (the person calling me gets the "phone switched off" message)
2) weird static when I'm playing music on the phone speaker or on earphones when I get a notification
3) can't flash magisk 15.3 for some reason (this isn't really a big deal but the first 2 are)
Anyone facing any of these issues and can help me out with them?

is there any other way around it? i really dont want to go through the hassle of backing up my entire device :/
it is the fix for anything
this way you make the final cut without going through the working arounds
in my opinion your time is better saved this way
you won't spend more than 1 hour setting everything up again

what if i wipe the system and then flash the full zip?
i mean i have a lot of data on the internal storage and backing that up will be a task, so thats why im trying to avoid the factory reset
Clean installation does not require you to wipe your internal storage so your personable files do not need to be moved around.
However, you will have to re-install the apps and setup the configurations again.
