This weeks most impressive turnaround post! Like a thriller movie wrapped up in a single post.
The AAHK S-OFF's the device, but there is also ENG S-OFF which is a different thing altogether.

You are radio s-off at the moment but the confusing thing with that name is that it only turns off security for the ability to flash a recovery and a ROM but not actualyl a radio...you need ENG S-Off for that however, if you never had a problem with your signal before just flash this:

That is the corresponding RIL file needed for your current radio which will have been wiped when you flashed the ROM, as the ROM only contains the RIL for the recommended radio but as you are without ENG s-off you can't flash it and after my experience with it, its not worth the change if you were happy signal wise prior to the flash.

The tool to get ENG S-Off is really easy to use. There is minimal (none really) risk in bricking your phone. The danger is when you are actually flashing a radio... when I say danger, it sounds worse than it is... basically a bad radio flash can really knacker your phone. I haven't flashed a radio, as I've always been happy with my reception, but I understand it's not difficult. The thing to make sure is that you have a full battery when you're doing the flash, then you should be safe enough!

You should be fine... I've never heard of anyone having an issue when running the tool... if you think you need to do one for your piece of mind, then do it. I did all that before I even started flashing ROM's and making backups... but do what you think is right - there's no harm in doing the backup (you can always delete it after using the tool), but it really shouldn't be needed!
think im ready to take th eplunge , but just a few quick questions -
1. do i need eng s-off ,or shall i try to flash again , making sure the md5 match
2. is there a link to the HTC sync drivers thing

I've had a look for some drivers recently myself, but not been able to locate them. I plugged my mates Desire Z in to the laptop and connected it in HTC Sync mode and my laptop downloaded them on it's own.
Eng S-Off will mean that your device is fully unlocked. As I said, I did all that before I started flashing ROM's and making backups and I lost nothing!
