Just got brave and did this. A couple of things to consider especially if you're using Vista.
1. DON'T use the cradle. I couldn't get the phone off of bootloader or get it recognized by the OS after unplugging it to get past step 6 and started to freak out and even tried connecting the phone to another computer to no avail. I took the plug off of the cradle, plugged it directly to the phone, pressed and held the red power button, took the battery off and put it right back and the HTC device came right up. You can't do this with the phone in the cradle and is why I say to not use the cradle. One way to avoid this is...to not unplug the phone after step 6. Phone resets itself so there's no need.
2. If you're using Vista (original author mentioned he couldn't get the phone to be recognized by the updater) you'll need to go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> And RIGHT-CLICK on Command Prompt and select "Run as Administrator". If you have UAC turned on you'll get the "are you sure you want to do this" crap dialog box. Click continue and then you should be able to run the command with no problems.
The only reason I did this was to see if BT DUN would work correctly because my phone kept freezing up with hanip's BT hack whenever I connected to the BT DUN. I'll report back after I've played with the phone some and see if there are no problems.
