So this whole wimax issue may only affect the new handsets....I dont know the whole story, just bits & pieces.
I think people losing their keys was the main issue....I have backed mine up, and I suggest everyone does the same....

Yeah yeah... that's where I read it! ... Guess I got lucky on this one since I have 0.97 and a 003 handset AND used unrEVOked before I really knew what in the hell I was doing AT ALL in this Android world (still very subjective btw)! LOL
... so these RSA keys differ from the Nand backup of the Wimax or no? This was posted just a couple up from where you said you stickied it

I was viewing the root tutorial over at XDA and came across this:

This will back up your rsa keys and is not required. If you DONT want to do this then you can Proceed to Step 7. Otherwise if your still at the # type the following to back up your keys.
Run this command first
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/wimax.img
This saves it in a file that can actually be restored. This next step is another type of backup just for good measure
busybox sed -n '/BEGIN CERTIFICATE/,$p' /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/rsa_OEM.key

So looks like you need to run:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/wimax.img
In order to save it in a format that can be restored. I just did this and it worked great. The .img came out to be like 12MB in size.

So then I just ran an Amon Ra Nand including "Wimax" and my wimax.img came out to be exactly 12MB as well (same with CWM btw)... This appears to me that the nand wimax.img is actually the keys in a restorable format but I am just drawing this conclusion from these posts and the fact that my wimax.img is also exactly 12MB
What do you think? Am I on track here?
Edit: Or is this all exactly correct and you are just saying it's a good idea to also make a copy of the "non-flashable" version of the keys just in case it is ever needed and someone figures out a way to make them useful?
