No Problem here...bro I love to hear insights from different views on the matter... I do plan on fully switching to sd flashing in the future... Just been lazy and havn't broken the ice on getting personally familiar with the very easy process. Love your post and thanks hit...

It's more likely there is a flaw in the RUU writing process over USB, especially with the occasional wonky usb ports on these phones.

Since switching to SD flashing I haven't had a single bad install, and I never hard reset or clear storage unless I screw up something myself while reinstalling software.

Clearly there is nothing wrong with all the extra hard resets and clear storages you want to do. It seems to recover a bad install. I'd just rather install it right the first time.
