I don't believe this is correct at all, mainly because when relocking the phone or taking it back to factory settings to not void the warranty, the senior member are very, very clear in stating NOT to use a stock rom, but a shipped rom.

This makes a bit more sense. TY.

so when reflashing to a new 6.5 rom, it would be better to flash a stock rom rather than a shipped rom right?

and if I flash a telus radio on my diamond and reflash back to stock, will it keep my telus radio when I relflash back to 6.5?
