Another thing that bit me was the 'persistent' storage of the 8525. I
thought the hard reset would clear all memory. It didn't.
It also left data, so a restore created two copies of data and applications.
Since the indexes for where the information is stored is different from the
icons in 'programs', I found a launch for software on the uSD sometimes
launched device programs.
In addition Sprite Software erroneously claimed the ability to restore data
and software after the upgrade to 6.x.
Everything needs to be cleaned with Settings/System/Clear Storage before the
reflash and restore.
