I took the Official Bell update, and I'm at 1.17 now and I did try to do a SPB restore, cuz I thot update was insignificant and it is... Becasue restore worked fine... Just an FYI. Restore may work in some cases but if you are going to restore to a device that was updated with GPS fix or REV a, a Image retore may undo some of that...:D

BTW I am trying that new radio for Sprint on my Bell - 2.1x and on the info screen it says image ver 1.17...? And any number I tried to Dial works, and Signal is full blast. But on screen I got In YELLOW" above number I dialed saying "programming in progress..." then it says "Programming is Incomplete..." and beeps 3 times. All else works.

****************************
If you take the "official" Bell Update - It undoes Coke's unlocker SO you have to re-do it - and I updated to Sprint Radio 2.1x (or what ever) and I haven't not a major Difrence yet...
Signal seems better...Still able to use my Backup file to restore my SPB restore exe cab...:D

unless you have details on the ROM changes, you're really taking a huge risk to restore a backup from one ROM to a different/new ROM. the files may restore without error, but you could be overwriting/modifying/replacing registry keys and dll's that could impact phone features/functionality. it's best to reinstall all apps from scratch with a new ROM to determine if any changes may impact the 3rd Party software and/or phone functionality and features. not trying to alarm you, but if you notice that your phone is not performing or working well, it could be due to the restored registry keys, dll's, etc. i do hope you don't encounter any problems with your restore!

I haven't noticed any issues... tested all games and apps and it seems to be ok (fingers crossed) - Thanks for mentioning it tho. I just updated the radio to 2.1x and it seems to give me full signal bars all the time. :D
