Ok, your right I went the ROM2 v1.7 route. I looked over your post about confirming I had full root when you check the hboot for the .76 and not .79... Well I have .79 which in your posts indicates I'm not fully rooted. But then I found another post (can't remember now where??) but it indicated another methoed to check for proper rooting. If I could load shell and get a # as a prompt, that meant I was fully rooted... Well, I followed that route... Cuz I got the # once my phone requested SU permission, I just granted it and the shell switched from $ prompt to # right away.

The only reason I didn't want to do the PC136IMG.ZIP and erase all my data and have to redo all my downloads and what not.

Question... Can I do the ROM1 PC136IMG.zip and not loose my present setup. If I'm currently v1.7 and everything appears to be holding and not crashing, do you think I will have to do davik and cache resets?? I really don't want to go through the hazzle of reinstalling all my stuff again.. I've done it 3 times already getting it just right... If there is no other way, then I'll just wait it out cuz my phone is really running GREAT.. I have everything updated except for the wimax radio. If wimax only deals with 4g, then it really wont make any sense for me to upgrade at this time cuz Miami doesn't have 4g yet..

Please let me know if doing the ROM1 I can avoid deleting and having to reinstall all my apps and setup again..

Thanks again for the quick reply..
yes, wimax is only for 4g, so since you're not in a 4g area, and everything else is good, wait for next release....but eventually you will need to flash ROM1 to get the proper ota updates. you definitely need hboot .76.

when u do take the plunge & flash rom1, backup everything u can using titanium backup, android mate, or mybackup...then b4 flashing do a nand backup. there's a good chance after flashing rom1 you can follow my guide in post #2 to flash the data.img from the nand backup & have everything restored. matter of fact, if u want to try this now you can and worse case you restore the full nand & get back to where your at now.
