that rom. Not back to the rom that was on your phone when you purchased it.

Now, in answer to your question about going back to an official carrier released rom,
such as 2.17.
1. Follow the guide through step 3
2. Now, while still in the bootloader screen on your phone, run your carrier released rom (such as 2.17)
**This will also install the correct radio for that software rom**
3. Then proceed to steps 8-11, because going backwards WILL erase those settings in your phone.

Hope this answers your questions. Enjoy!
ok that's what i've been trying to figure out. didn't make sense that you flash a ROM and then magically the factory ROM is still there. one overwrites the other. i might try it this week. got some big stuff coming up at work though and i'd hate to lose regular phone service or my Exchange access. i already downloaded a copy of the verizon stock ROM so if i have to go back to it, i can.
