Why is data "left over" from earlier flashes on the OS partition of the ROM chip anyway? A hard reset/flash should reformat the OS partition, clearing the TFAT allocation table therefore making the filesystem represent all clusters as available for overwrite, not readable with valid data.
Old used clusters that haven't been overwritten yet by the fresh flash (but now marked as FREE [or BAD] in FAT) should never interfere with the current state of the ROM. Thoughts?
UC works fine on the 2/18 6.5, why would he not include it for 6.5.x?

I don't feel like digging through old posts to quote you some more detailed information on this. All I can tell you is that a few chefs have talked about this happening. And although it does not make sense to me either, this method has been known to help in some situations. Therefore when all else fails, doing the flash dance is worth a try. It may fix it, it may not. Personally, I do the stock rom flash dance every now and then whether I am having issues or not. It's just good a good practice to get into when you flash as much as some of us do. In the end, what is it really going to hurt for the OP of these issues to spend 20 minutes or less on this?
