This will not re-lock your phone. The "locked" status is from the SPL which is not in the NBH I uploaded (which will only update the radio).

Thought maybe why I want to install this update might be useful. I was planning on doing a hard reset and then unlocking my phone so I could try some custom ROMs. I'm looking for a new experience without having to get new hardware. I almost bought a Droid X the other day but VZW's poor warranty policy made me change my mind. I'm also going to be getting an SD card (again) and putting Android on it so I can play with both OS's.
So again update to MR3 or not??

So here's the quick breakdown on this decision. If you are going to unlock your device and mess around with custom ROM's, just do that and flash the radio I have posted. If you decide you don't want to unlock your phone, you can move straight to MR3, but it will wipe your device and you will have Sense 2.5 instead of Sense 2.1 (which is a good thing IMO).
I haven't had SoD issues since the early MightROM's, and I don't think I ever experienced it on the Official ROM. I did have MR2 on my device for a couple of weeks, and it ran just fine. The difference in going to a custom ROM is just far better functionality, better customization capabilities, and a better layout.
