When it woke up from the reset, it said "setting up for first time" - and wanted me to calibrate the screen. It did it's own hard rest.
Now I'm worried that I really butched something up... is it possible that I wrote to the ROM too many times? I'll go back to shipped stock rom again but at this point, I've lost complete confidence in the hardware. I need to be able to rely on this for work.
I've been operating w/the SD card out today, thinking maybe something on there was causing it... I'm really stumped.

At some point, someone did some sort of benchtest study to see if they could "Wear out" the processor from reinstalling roms. After around 10,000 ROM Installs the phone was still holding a ROM. So they reported that you should be able to Reinstall ROMS at least 10,000 times without having a problem. While most of us are ROM junkies, I doubt that most are THAT bad.
If you are worried about something being on the SD card that is screwing it up, then try this. Copy everything from the SD Card to your hard drive in a back up folder. Then go to Start/Settings/System/Wipe Device. Chose format, but also make sure to check Format card also. This way, when it does a hard reset, it will also format the SD Card so that there is nothing on it that could cause you to conflict.
Then go ahead, and install the apps from you back up folder one at a time, and soft reset after each install, and see which app is causing you problems. its a bit of a pain, but once you do it, you can get rid of that cab file, instead of not knowing what is causing it.
