If you run the soft SSPL (in ram, 1.10) you can flash an nbh with only the SPL.nb in it and it will overwrite the hard SPL on the device (not itself). I don't want to promote the regular use of the soft-SPL though as i encountered errors (thought it was truly bricked for a while) when trying to flash a full nbh (including rom and radio etc) . The method in which it is loaded into RAM seems to affect it's access to the radio so use caution. Rule of thumb: If the nbh is ~257k you should be safe with SSPL, any larger make sure you use the Hard-SPL.
Awesome. I understand much better now. Thank you for the explaination ImCoKeMaN. I appreciate it.
