ExtROM cabs coming back after hard reset??

[digi]

Hey guys, I broke the usb port on my xv6700, and just got my brand new Alltel PPC 6700 today. First thing I did after activating it was flashed to my WM6 ROM that I had cooked for my old phone. After booting, I went in the ExtROM and deleted all the cabs.

I like to install large apps to ExtROM, but when I began installing, my phone locked up. I had to hard reset to get it back running again because with a soft reset it would just hang on the welcome screen.

Anyways, after hard reset, my ExtROM restores itself, time and time again. I manually made all the files not Read-Only, and then manually deleted them several times. It shows them as gone with GSFinder, Resco, and Total Commander.

Anyways, I guess I will flash with a blank ExtROM, but I still just dont know why it would do this. My xv6700 treated the ExtROM like a storage card, it would be unaffected by hard reset.

Who can tell me whats really goin on here? Is this normal behavior? and was my xv6700 not doing what it was supposed to?
