I have been able to do a firmware backup, full wipe, and firmware restore
on the Storm using bjavaloader.  So if you have the right COD files,
it is possible.

When I did it, I did not care about my data, I was just playing with
the firmware side.  If you try it, make sure you are able to backup
and restore the data you care about.

I also tried a firmware install using the set of COD files found on a
Windows machine, that you get when you install one of the Blackberry
firmware packages.  But oddly the themes were a bit strange.  I'm not
sure what the issue was.  Maybe the firmware packages are missing some
themes that come with the provider?  This deserves more investigation.

In the end, I was quite happy being able to restore a device's firmware
to a known state, using only Linux and Barry.
