No. The firmware and the presets are in separate areas of the BCR's memory, so flashing the firmware does not affect the presets in any way.

However...:

In theory presets made for the latest firmware (1.10) could contain a few features which older firmware doesn't support.
So your presets may have become slightly "impoverished" when you installed them.
So in this respect it might indeed be safest to install the presets again after upgrading the firmware.

What version was your original firmware?
If it was any version other than 1.07, you could do me a big favor by saving the old version and sending it to me: this would help me improve the firmware utility in BC Manager.
(I'll explain how to do this if you indeed have a different version, and haven't upgraded to 1.10 already, of course....)

Best wishes,
