If you only flash OS, no problem. If you have hard-spl installed your device will be almost unbrickable.

With a new Hard Spl, I can restore an old ROM?

can you explain me what hard-spl is ?

My question here is, will original ROM restore the splashscreen and initial bootscreen that was changed by LVSW?

So many questions :)

You can usually restore an old ROM even without Hard-SPL. It makes it a little easier because you can flash even ROMs that are not intended for your device (for example HTC Rom to Vodafone Compact GPS).

can you explain me what hard-spl is ?
Sure. It is a replacement bootloader made by DES and later by Olipro. You'll find it here:

LVSW offers it as a download as well, I don't know why he didn't include it in the update itself (nbh).

Yes, original ROM updates are what I call full updates: Bootloader, Splashscreens, OS, Radio. However they will only overwrite Olipro's Hard-SPL if you use Soft-SPL (sspl) for flashing. Keep that in mind if you want to send your device in for warranty repairs...

Enough noob questions answered :p For details use search, its not hard.

OK OK one more thing...

If I flash from mun_rus rom back to WM05 and take device for warranty... thay will not accept it?

If you flash it properly (load SSPL first, then run official update) they will have no way of telling the difference.
Obviously this only works if you have access to the official full update.

If your phone is the S300+ (SFR version of Trinity) it's gonna be hard. No SFR ROM is available yet. So you can find the OS part over here and you can save your extended ROM, but it seems to be hard to restore exactly as the same.

I`m just asking out of couriosity...

Flashed to muns SE rom works like a charm...
