They can flash the full update without being unlocked. If people are only looking for a radio upgrade though, then they're screwed.

I'm trying to decide whether to update. An improved Radio would be nice, but I am not sure I want to re-customize my TP2. Thanks.
Yes, this will be like flashing any other ROM and wipe everything. The only way it won't wipe the phone is if you flash just the radio. Even though there are little to no changes in the base system, it's still a full ROM update.
