You've got it right. If you do the Monster Pack it includes the flash.
Also download the Keypad_Fix_Flex file as you may need that too. I've
modded 4 phones and all but one needed that. The problem is that after
upgrading, the keypad won't work except for the power button. Obviously,
this is more than a minor inconvenience but it's easily fixed by running
the fix flex which takes less than 10 seconds. Once installed you'll
never need to do it again (at least I haven't).
In the future, you'll want to reflash as new versions are released. The
advantage to just the reflash is that you won't have to backup and
reinstall all your games, photos and phonebook as you do when you flex.
