Anyway, here is the link and I take no responsibility if it causes issues on your phone. I have a VZW RHOD500, and I wouldn't recommend flashing this on any other devices.

I think I know the answer, but here goes anyway: Is there any way to flash the new radio only without losing all my data and settings like I do in a ROM-flash or MR upgrade?

Yes, the radio update in the zip does not touch the OS portions

Just unzip and run CustomRUU.exe. You do have to be CID unlocked though.

Thanks, Nate. How do I check for CID unlock? And do I need to remove my SD card?

Have you ever unlocked your phone so you can flash a custom ROM? If not, you would have to either HardSPL your phone or use the original MR3 update from Verizon to get the radio update (which may or may not wipe your OS).

download nate's zip and flash the radio because that is all there is to flash,no data loss or any other changes,after the flash and the soft reset everything will be the same,the only change being made is the radio version
