if I flash new roms, will that automatically update my firmware to the latest? I have flashed a bunch of these roms but never re-locked my phone to DL the latest OTA firmware. i am running the latest ROM released 392 and I have HBOOT 1.5 and I use FLASH IMAGE GUI for partition flash
No. Flashing ROM's from recovery does not update the firmware. People on 1.4 with S-Off can flash the firmware only using the bootloader, but the only way to get the firmware updated with HBoot 1.5 and S-On is to flash the complete RUU using either the .exe in Windows or .zip in the bootloader.
Instructions to do the RUU update are in mpgrimm2's guide (linked in his signature), and here's a post on GoodAndEvo that explains the process as well:

After you successfully flash your phone with the firmware included in the 2.17.651.5 update, the baseband version for your radio should be 1.06.00.1216 in Settings/About phone/Software information/More.
