Hello,

I use two Diamonds daily: one as my normal device (ROM v1.93.x.2) and the other for development (HardSPL v1.93, ROM changes weekly/daily). My normal device is configured just how I want it, the development one gets blown away daily!

I'm looking forward to upgrading my normal device to a v1.97.x.x ROM once released from HTC (don't tend to use cooked ROMs on my day-to-day handset, and certainly not branded ones) however in the interim I fancied trying out a couple of the newer radios on it - specifically to try and improve battery life, data connectivity and GPS functionality (the normal wish list!).

However when going to upgrade last night I realised this handset does NOT have Hard SPL installed, instead the stock boot loader. I seem to recall that in the process of putting HardSPL will blow away the devices configuration - correct? Not something I really want to do at this stage (but something I deffo will do when prior to its next ROM flash whenever that may be). Any alternative suggestions?

Thanks in advance..
