I also just received this text message but sadly this is the same WM5 ROM that was released a few weeks back. Nothing new (to people that frequent here anyhow)

They must be getting ready for the WM6 release.

Hi, I'm quite new to the forum and I do apologize if this has been covered. I just don't know where to look for the answer.
Is there away to upgrade to the ROM that was texted to me from cingular/at&t on a MAC?
TIA

Apparently I have a very old ROM on my 8525 and wanted to upgrade.
ROM Version: 1.34.502.1
ROM Date: 09/26/07
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01H
This is the first time that I have received a message to upgrade. I have NOT had the phone that long. I'd say a couple of months at the most.

You will need something like Paralells or bootcamp to do it. I would recommend thoroughly testing the connection reliability. I use a 15" MBP C2Duo all the time - but the connection can be tricky - test with some flash screen flashes or something relatively harmless. Check out www.mrvanx.org for help on flashing in general.

oops... LOL It's supposed to be 09/26/06
yes I use parallels and decided to try it on my own ATM. I'm in the middle of doing it now.
The screen has 4 colors on it (red, green, blue, white)
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.06
and on the white area it says USB
I decided to stop and wait for a reply
I disconnected and hit the reset button on the bottom of the phone. should I update since my ROM version is quite old?

Yes, but only if you will read the guide I posted first. If done properly, there is little to fear. If not, then you could screw up your device. If you will read through the guide and follow each step (incliding HardSPL flashing), then GO FOR IT! If not, best leave it for another time.

Thanks, I'm looking at the site already. man these types of phones are completely different than the other types of phones that I've previously dealt with. the lingo is completely different
thanks though. I'll be sure to read the guides.

ok so i tried to follow the guide on my MBP C2Duo and when getting to the part with the Hard SPL I got an error about my connection. Am I doing something wrong?

Fair warning - I'm using my unlocked ATT/Cingular 8525 on Telstra in Oz and the upgrade removed my ability to access the internet with my Telstra SIM.
Darn it.

How are running windows - paralells, bootcamp, ???
What version of windows - XP, Vista?
Does ActiveSync see the connection in windows?

Before you upgrade, there are a few issues you should know about the new version.
1.- You won't be able to access streaming media through IE,you can only access streming through pay software included (Att music, XM, etc) and you won't be able to use your own subscription to XM, you'll have to pay ATT anyway to use it.
2.- You won't be able to go back to any previous version unless you use an external bootloader
3.- The alarm goes off only when you have flight mode off, (I always turn it on at 5 pm so guys at work or customers won't bother me)

Just re-enter your Telstra carrier's GPRS settings, mms as well if you use it.
Most custom roms and definately other carrier's roms will not re-customize these for you. You should save off the relevant cab files from your EXT-ROM before you flash with an "unapproved (by your carrier)" ROM.

I had to enable Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC > Enable advanced network functionality in order for ActiveSync / WMDC to see the phone and launch. However when following the tutorial on the site that you posted I kept receiving an error stating to check my connection. I followed everything to the T and still couldn't get it to work. Finally frustrated I just tried the new ROM that was posted and I was able to successfully upgrade it.
The weird thing is that even though I received the message to allow an unaproved (by your carrier) message and allowed it... It seemed to do what it's supposed to. Meaning that I got the screen with the 4 colors and the new version number and everything but for some reason the phone would NOT restart and then eventually the software would time out.
Any ideas? am I still able to do that update?
This was done through Parallels not through bootcamp and I did everything required for Vista prior to doing the update. This version of Vista is Ultimate OEM and fully licensed. I also had to download the WMDC from microsoft as stated in the tutorial as well. That installed but same problems
Thanks
Now that I have the AT&T ROM loaded I do NOT have "enable advanced network fnctionality" enabled and I have successfully connected my MBP to my phone via bluetooth PAN. I am able to get online with that connection type and I have also been able to browse the web on the phone through IE.

So, I am not exactly sure where we are atm. It sounds like you *did* get the new ROM on the phone? Things seem to be working?
Is there more that you need? Are you just trying to figure out the USB connection to the MBP now?
Sorry, but I am confused

yes, I did get the new ROM onto the phone but I did NOT do what you had asked me to do though. I tried to follow the tutorial BEFORE doing the AT&T ROM since that should keep everything safe from harm but it didn't work. being discouraged at all the time I spend on that side I decided to just load the ROM that AT&T told me to download and that was a success.
Will I or do I need to do the Hard SPL and other things on the site you posted earlier to make sure my info isn't messed up when modding the phone later on?

How to Unlock your 8525 and Go to SA 1.35 all steps and links included

These are the instructions I spent many hours looking for. Also, I know most people know, but just in case... Loading a ROM does wipe your device. Make sure you have all your info synced or backed up someplace.
- Doc
First, I Followed andykwg's instructions to the letter:
(here is his Post,but in case you dont want to go there, here are the instructions)
ANDYKWG:
Thanks POF, my 8525 is unlocked, but I have gone through hell with Vista so just to let you all know that "don't try these upgrades on VISTA".
I have read many posts and finally got it to unlock. In any case, here is what I did (on a XP box with activeSYNC 4.2 - it is running all the time for each of the steps below):
1) on XP, connect the phone to XP and make sure ActiveSync see the phone. Run the exe in 1.30 ROM for Cingular to download the SPL to 1.04. After this the phone will reboot/restart itself.
2a) On XP, with ActiveSync running and connected, run POF's MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe within the unlocker v2a xip file to upgrade the radio to version 1.16. If it fails with ERROR 114, go to step (3); else go to step (2b).
2b) If the first time failed, DON'T TOUCH THE PHONE. Run the exe again and the second time should run fine. There is a 114 error at the end and it is OK. Once you get the 114 error, soft-reset the phone before next step.
3) On the phone, flash with POF's unlocker (v2a) ON THE PHONE MEMORY HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe (in the zip file same as above download for unlock v2a). There is a success notice at the end.
That is it. Hope this help someone.
Andy
DocHoliday:
Now, what Andy Doesn't say here, and people have asked, is Yes, you are now unlocked and SuperCID.
Ok, I went a step further.
I loaded the South African 1.35 ROM. Why? Faster and about 15% more battery life to boot! There are a few things to consider before you go to SA 1.35. Your boot loader will now be SPL-1.09. Make sure your device is unlocked before you go to this ROM! If it is unlocked and SuperCID, it will remain unlocked and SuperCID after the ROM Update. If you installed the update before unlocking, I think you are out of luck. I have seen some threads that say you can change back to SPL-1.04, but nothing conclusive.
3 things you will notice after you load this ROM and how to fix them:
1. Keyboard Special Characters are out of Sync with the Keyboard (-, _, ;, :, etc...)
Most people said a registry entry fixed theirs, it did not for me. Here is what worked. Download this Extended ROM. Copy ShortString_Keypad_XML.CAB to your SD, then run it. Softboot, then Keyboard Special Characters are fixed!
2. Keyboard BackLight:
Disable the light sensor! With the SA ROM, the light sensor is too sensitive and doesnt work properly.To disable: Settings (on the 8525), Buttons, Backlight tab - Clear The Checkmark! Keyboard backlight now works when you press any key.
3. May not be a problem for some, but Phone skin is God Awful Lime Green! Yuck! (my opinion...)
Fix Phone Skin an download the skin of your choice...
Anyway, Hope this Helps someone. Took me a while to research and I wish I had my post when I first started. Many thanks to POF and the other contributors to XDA without which we would be limited to the ROM's the Carriers stuck us with! Good Luck all!
great
Thanks!!!! I want the perfect 8525 rom/radio/ext rom. Trying to decide what radio to include.
sucess with cingular 8525 1.34.502.1
thanks d0ch0liday..i loaded a t-mobile sim and started working right away.
Glad you guys got some use out of it.
It may be buried somewhere in the instructions, but definitely make sure you have a solid USB connection to your computer. Definitely DO NOT try an upgrade going through a USB hub!
Also make sure your battery is well charged... ;-)
Excellent advice, thanks...
some folks at ebay are selling Unlocked 8525s (like in this link), i am curious that if I buy one of these, will it be definitely SuperCID?
Hi there...long time no using a WM device and all the things with this CID and locked devices become a bit complicated to me...So I bought a M3100 unlocked with pof V2 and I have successfully upgraded my Radio version to 1.27.00...but now I want to upgrade the ROM too...I assume that my device is CID unlocked as I was able to upgrade the radio only...but a strange thing...I have no extended ROM on it...so can I upgrade my current rom with the SA 1.35 rom without problems...?
Regards and sorry for the noob question

Probably not SuperCID. These look like they may have been obtained directly from HTC or they may be test units. They say new, but you new means never opened. It doesnt tell you how long they have been on the shelf. Since they are HTC, even if they were test units you would probably be ok. Anyway, you would probably still have to do POF's unlock to get it to SuperCID. Hope this helps...

You should be able to load any ROM you wish once you load POF's unlock. SuperCID and SIM Unlock stay with it...

i really don't think they are test units..any way, do you think it's a good idea to buy one of these? they're like 200 bucks cheaper than tytn... btw, can I update them later on through Cingular's website? and is it possible for my device to become Locked on some carrier again if i flash it with the wrong Rom?

Yes if they are SuperCID or have a cingular CID (CWS__001).

Definitely not SIM locked. If it is not SuperCID and you plan to switch ROMs from different carriers, then make sure you CID unlock it prior to do any upgrade.
thank you pof!
just one more thing, have they ever shipped 8525 with bootloader 1.09? if they do, is it possible in any way to flash a rom from another carrier after CID Unlocking it?

First this is an excellent Primer for those of us with Cingular phones ( or people like me who have one on order and want to be ready to tinker )
Has anyone found a reason that the SA ROM causes the light sensor issue?
Also is there a way to bring the phone back to virgin/stock if the need were to arrise (as in the phone died)?
quick question from 8525 users: what is the input voltage range for 8525's travel charger? is it 110-220 or just 110?

Not sure why the light sensor happens. I also noticed it happened with the 1.30 ROM as well. This is the ROM you load to downgrade to the 1.04 bootloader. I didnt really like the sensor anyway as it definately did not do well in ambient light. As far as getting it back to Cingular stock, just load the latest Cingular ROM 1.34 and it should be close enough. Thanks for the compliment. I wrote this just for that purpose. I spent quite a while looking for all the answers, I learned alot, which is i think POF's and the others intent. But it was very consuming and wanted to save others the uncertainty of not following in someone's footsteps. Again, thanks.

Help, thnk I bricked my G4 Wizard

I had my wizard upgraded to WM6. I was trying to upgrade it again to PDVait3 WM6. I was running the Shell tool. Even after an hr didn't go through, so I killed the process. When I reboot my wizard it stops with the bootloader screen. There is no usb at the bottom. This is what it reads
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 10.1.0.811
No usb at the bottom of the screen. Active sync doesn't connect.
Is there a way to bring back the usb connection.
Any help will be appreciated.
If you see bootloader, it is not a brick
Hi,
im not a Guru on this, but i had a similar problem.
I THink your phone is not bricked since you get to the bootloader,
ActiveSync wont work since there is no OS on your phone, but nevertheless the USB is working and you must flash a need OS through there.
Download the Wizard Love ROM, and keep it always in hand since it works 100% of the time.
Unzip it and then run: newromupdateutility_wizard_noid.exe
Thats pretty much all you need to do.
It will flash the wizard love rom, and youll get your phone up and running again in no time.
Dont stop or kill the process until its done, you will notice it hangs around 14% and 96%, it will complete , dont stop it, it takes about 10mins or more.
If you want to try a new OS, like WM6, read the first sticky on this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480&page=14. I have use this method and i went from Wizard Love rom to PDAVIET4. Then from PDAVIet4 to Aku3.3v2 (but did not work). I flashed wizard love, and then using the method i went from Wizard Love to Aku 3.3v2. Works like a charm.
Please excuse my english, im spanish.
if you have any question, mail me.
I'm trying to use the shell tool but in the first step it shuld show me the current rom information and it doesn't
Is it OK? Can I proced with the upgrade?

Yup, don't be afraid. Currently I have faria's 3.3 ROM, and it doesn't show anything. Take any G4 ROM, load into bootloader, then connect to USB and flash. Good luck!
Thanks for the response edgardito.
I tried flashing with Wizard Love but no luck. It gives an error pretty much saying check your usb connection to the device and computer.
The problem seems to be the Wizard is not connecting to the PC. I went from AS 4.5 to 4.2 but no luck.
Is there any other thing I can try? Please let me know.
I am attaching a jpeg showing the screen. Resolution might not be that good.
check this thread worked for me to un-brick my wizard

This is just a boot splash, put the device in the tri-colored bootloader mode as described in the wiki. If you are getting that boot splash you should be able to get into the bootloader. Try to flash again using your carriers original ROM (whole RUU intaller) if you have it, but do not use the one from HTC's site. Try 1) In activesync disable usb connections 2) kill activesync processes (wcescomm.exe) on the PC using task manager before running the RUU.
Check your PM's
It works !!
Thanks guys for the help. The solution was so simple. Just had to put the phone in the boot loader mode by holding the camera button and pushing the power button. I loaded Wizard love on it.
Thanks to all the people who helped put together Wizard love. It has saved my a$$ so many times.
I am having trouble following the guide above. I have the Love rom and it gives me this error.

Bricked G4 Phone
I bricked my phone. I already upgraded the MDA from WM5 to WM6 and had used it for over a year when it suddenly became slow. So I attempted to do it all over again in order to have a fresh install.
Right now, when I attempt to boot, it gets stuck on the screen:
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.18.0.0
I can get to the boot loader screen by pressing the camera and reset buttons.
I have tried flashing with SD but no such luck. I got an RUU file and renamed to different things and placed on the SD card, no luck still.
When I get to boot loader screen, I see the USB sign on the phone when USB is connected. But all attempts to get to the phone from PC proved futile.
PC is Windows Vista.
Thanks!

PC with vista is the problem here,but you cannot flash any custom build wm6 rom straight like that,as its a G4 device,first you'll have to get it 'HardSPL' anf than upgrade.
Download and flash official stock rom to recover back to its default status,then get it HardSPL and than upgrade to wm6.

i think i messed up my friend's hermes for good

this is my first post and as you'll learn quickly i'm a total newbie. I'm such a newbie that you'll find a picture of me on the dictionary entry of noob. anyway, on to my problem.
About a month ago i purchased a HTC Hermes, more specifically AT&T 8525. My cell phone provider is T-Mobile. I googled AT&T 8525 unlocker and sure thing found this great unlocker. Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker *New* version v3a. Needless to say the unlocking worked perfectly. My phone ran Windows Mobile 6.0 Pro.
Fast forward about three and a half weeks ago and my friend got the same phone off ebay. He has T-Mobile too and I told him i would unlock it for him since mine worked flawlessly. Well, his phone runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 Pro. I started the update process on the computer and here's what the screens looked like
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My phone did not ask me to press yes. Then i checked the boxes on the setup and was ready to continue
After pressing next it showed this
The progress bar remained at zero then this screen came up
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j120/mnn2k/phone/Untitled8.jpg
I have tried over and over again and get the same error. I have tried using different USB ports, USB cables, and two computers, both running vista but i have had no luck. now the phone is be in the tri-color mode and it won't do anything. All the screen says is
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.40.Olipro
If i can't fix it i guess i will have to give my friend my phone and will lose a lot of money. Any help is appreciated. I tried doing a search and all the posts can't help me since i don't know much at all when it comes to phones.
Flash it with a stock rom from the wiki (for the country and provider the hermes is from)

its a United States AT&T 8525. i tried flashing it with the Official HTC WM6 ROM from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316726 but now the progress bar goes to 11 then it gives me the same error. I'll have to try it on from a XP. on the Readme it says there might me a problem with ports. How do i check if there is a problem with that.
If i were you i would flash hard-spl v7 before you flash another rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
If you are on vista make sure you download the latest version of wmdc from microsoft.
Then flash the most recent at&t rom from here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
If this still doesn't work use an xp machine. If you can't use an xp machine there is a guide that explains how to swap the wmdc drivers for active sync ones.
http://www.anichillus.net/index.php?topic=21.0
why does everyone seem to point the main cause of problems to vista?
I have vista installed and i dont have any problem flashing with WMDC (latest version installed) and have updated vista with sp1 , i did used to have problems sync'ing the phone before i installed sp1 but afterwards i have had no problems and flashed a number of phones for people who had experienced the same thing as MNNK.
Anyway enough of my moaning. Basically i would flash an original rom. then try flashing hardspl . If the HTC one wont work try the network rom,that it was originally on, T-Mobile.

i found Schaps ROM and that worked. thanks for all the help. In your opinion which is the best cooked ROM.
Now you opened a can of worms.... Everyone thinks something else is best, & it is for them..... A rom is a personal choice so asking whats best is like your girlfriend asking if you think shes fat, THERE IS NO RIGHT ANSWER.....
Seriously though, do some research on the Hermes Mobile 6 part of the forum as I believe someones started an updated list of current roms.

Okay, i'll stay away from that. but i still can't flash HardSPL on my phone. it gives me error 260.
1) i uncheck the allow USB connections on WMDC
2). i run the SPL-HERMES.exe on my phone and connect to usb.
3). run ruu_wrapper.exe
I also read the guide here http://www.mrvanx.org/hermes_guide/hardspl and nothing.
Then i tried using the Unlocker but that gives me the same error 260. i have tried the SD card method but mine is a 4gb microSDHC. my phone recognizes the card and i renamed the .nbh file. So i launch spl-herm.exe and nothing happens. i do hit the power button. still nothing.
When running SSPL-HERM.exe it says i have SPL-1.09.ds. when i do a manual bootload it says i have SPL-1.40.Olipro
what did you rename the image as when you placed it onto the sd card?
I know a lot of people have renamed the file incorrectly?
Also, I know people who SWEAR they formated fat32 but when I did it again using the same card freshly formatted it worked.

i did format it with fat32, quick format and normal format, default allocation size and 4096 bytes. i know i said i am a newbie when it comes to phones but i'm not one when it comes to computers. i would rather have Hard-SPL flashing first though, and also i have no Radio ROM currently on the phone.
The fact you have no radio is probably your BIGGEST problem.The no GSM error is what makes most bricks. Up til now there is no reliable surefire fix.
Looks like you have a PDA on your hands but no phone functionality. You can load an os only rom - generally they are the cooked roms, but you have more chance of jumping off a cliff and instantly growing usable wings than fixing this in a hurry...
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. but thats why the unlocker won't flash on, it replaces the radio rom to something that allows the sim/cid to be unlocked.
You should still be able to flash Hard SPL on but don't pick any roms with the radio cooked in as they WON'T flash.
Cheers...

yeah i kinda thought that was the case. Since the unlocker replaces the Radio ROM, but the frustrating thing is that the HardSPL isn't flashing. Stupid VISTA. Let's say i am able to flash HardSPL. can't i flash a Radio ROM only? or the original ROM found on the wiki.
Maybe, people somteime can recover their radio roms flashing a radio only rom or the original shipped rom, BUT, if this doesn't work then there seems little hope of you actually fixing this problem.There are quite a few threads with numerous "I got it working" posts but then those same people are back the next day bemoaning the fact that it didn't work. If by some miracle you do get it working, make sure you post what happened and how you fixed it but wait a day or two to check it really is fixed or just faking you out.
Good luck, I think you're gonna need it....
And don't get me started on Vista

If I were you I would use the Titan relocker to default to your stock bootloader. Then install the Stock Sprint ROM from my HTC unlock tools directory. Now after that is done reinstall the olipro 2.40 bootloader. You need to be booted up to a functioning WM OS. Make sure memory card is removed and follow this. Run the Olipro 2.40 unlocked Bootloader and follow its instructions until it comes up saying you must unplug and plug the phone back in. PLEASE dont miss that, DO NOT hit a key to continue UNTIL you have UNPLUGGED the phone waited a moment, then plugged it back in. Then you can hit a key and continue but PAUSE again and minimize that window. Now right click the Active sync icon on your PC's taskbar. Pick connection settings and then look for the Box with Allow USB connections. Clear the box (disable) the usb connections. Then click OK. Now open the window back up and click to continue. That will exit the Bootloader and reset the phone.
Now you can flash A GPS RADIO 3.35.04, 3.42.40, OR 3.42.50 AND THEN A CUSTOM ROM using an RUU or by using the MicroSD method. Hope this helps. But your problems sound like a bad flash.
PS: If you jumped into custom ROM flashing not knowing what you are doing. That is on you.. This thread should not be in this subforum to begin with so if you still cant get up and running I will gladly have it moved.
Thanks RyanMogul6800
1.- can you post the Olipro 2.40 because I found one in this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1941281&postcount=6) but I dont know if is the correct version, I leave you a pics abouy my problem
2.- you say that I need to be running windows mobile to apply again the Olipro or it can be apply in radio mode?
This is when I instal the multicarrier light version

No problem buddy, I am here to help. And your English is very good. I think by fit you mean fix, but I know what you mean.
Also I just released my Carrierless versions. Click my name and goto my homepage then look at the folders on the right of the 4shared page that comes up. Also if you want to try my 21054 6.1 builds they are also accessible by clicking on the "other share space" link. Versions 1.5 and 3.0, Zero G is another Carrierless version. Very light on resources. But Zero G is stripped bare. Meant for enthusiasts only.
1.5 is the same as 1.1 just a newer build. 3.0 is the same as 2.0 just a newer build.
well i do the step of apply the relocker and run the "RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship" it start installing the OS but when it was in 11% chance the PDA screen to the 3 color bars and sent me a error menssage

Yea remove the memory card and only use a main usb port on your Computer (port built into the motherboard, not a hub)
Also I forgot to mention, after each bad flash use the Exitbl.exe to get out of bootloader. Then re-put it back in bootloader manually to try again. Use Winrar, or 7zip to extract the contents of olipro 2.40 into a folder to get the Exitbl.exe.
Also since you dont have a functioning Windows Mobile OS to use Synced Active Sync (green icon in taskbar) are you trying to flash the Stock Sprint ROM with Active Sync connections disabled in the PC's taskbar (icon should not be green, should have a little x over a white icon.
I noticed in your screenshots it doesnt look like you are using Windows XP..
If you are using Vista, or Windows 7 then I cant help you. Those are not recommended operating systems for phone flashing..
You might have to use a friends computer with Windows XP and install active sync 4.5 on it. etc..
Im usin windows xp, well i cant do that the "TitanRelocker" run very well, i have the mogul coneccted to the pc, and run the "TitanRelocker" I press a key and later send me this menssage, I choose yes a lot of times but always send me the same menssage in bootloader mode

You said before you already used the Titan Relocker you only have to relock it once.. So your new objective is to Exitbl.exe (exit bootloader) disable active sync connections and get the Stock Sprint ROM to flash. And then from a functioning windows mobile OS and active sync re-enabled flash the Unlocked olipro 2.40 bootloader, then GPS radio, then Custom ROM.

Ok im done.. I guarentee if I had the phone in my hands I could get it fixed in 15 minutes tops..
This large disclaimer is in the beginning of my ROM threads for a reason..
Make sure you know what you are doing before you attempt to flash a Custom ROM onto your device!!
I had the same issue with flashing my phone.
I could not for the life of me get a radio to flash using a usb connection.
I had to use the non-highspeed 2gig SD card to flash my radio and then my first ROM. Worked first time. No fooling with computers that are not compatible with the flashing process.
use the search function, you will find the instructions....
cheers.......
and wow Ryan - you are extremely nice to have helped him along this far. You need to make a clear trouble shooting wiki page, and then point people in that direction.

Yea and another possibility is that you could of tried restarting your computer and trying again. Sometimes when you have a bad flash or errors the RUU utilities refuse to work until a reboot of the Computer.

Drew, you do not help anyone. You put your in your two cents in lots of threads usually short answers that only mislead someone further. All someone has to do is click your name, and find all posts by this user and sit back read and say OMG what an idiot.
You have yet to make any contributions that help out any forum. You are just a bantering PITA. You say useless garbage to just up your post count.
I on the other hand, help people. I spend a lot of time on my ROMs and software. I dont use Navizon links to make money off of people like you try to do.
You think you are invincible or something buddy? Say one more thing about me and you will be repramanded or worse. Trust me on that..

then it complains about some conection error about phone cant connect to the internet when it is on zune and i cant use the zune pass

To get into bootloader mode you must hold down both volume down and volume up simultaneously and while you're doing it, hit the power button until you see the white screen, continue to hold down volume up/volume down but let go of the power button.

Your device model number is the HTC Titan x310e. You will note all we folks with the AT&T HTC Titan in the United States have the "x310a". If you're overseas somewhere other than the US and Canada, I believe you're going to debrand your device with the Cingular 1.10 ROM where we are required to use the European 1.09 ROM but I'm going to be honest with you and all; I'm not sure. My interpretation of the original debrand post is to debrand your device with the opposite ROM depending on where you from and I have spent more time on the Titan threads in the last 6 weeks than I have since my Motorola z3 and HTC Rhodium days but I'm a math major and no where near the level of expertise of most here including this very thread. It is unknown if the Windows Phone 8 devices will be capable of being unlocked other than the carrier-subsidy unlock; the HTC Titan II to date can't be HSPL so it begs the question if the latter devices will equally be highly improbable. I think those of us who also own the HD2 hope the future HTC Titan III (Zenith) will be what many have achieved in our HD2s.
The bootloader is waaaaaaayyy too old. That's like the first walking days of the Titan, but your OS versions seems to have caught up. In this case, no debranding is necessary as all X310e model are unbranded, you just straight flash HSPL and do a custom rom, or you might even consider going stock, which football has provided, including the latest and official 8773 firmware with 4.6 bootloader.
There have been a couple of reports that WP8 crashes, tinkering/trying to unlock the bootloader, showing a PC-like error upon startup asking for a "recovery disk". The only way to fix this is via warranty.

I wondered whether if the device hardware began as an "x310e" if the debrand was necessary. Our "x310a" devices have to be debrand and made to mimic the "x310e" to successfully HSPL...but no one outside the US has been able to verify this. Over on another thread an individual asked my about his "x310e" and his OSPL is 1.86.160015.3 and I asked him to double check that for me and again he said the same thing. It's my understanding, he's good to go and simply has to flash both the SPL205 and HSPL and that's it.

you are right
no gold card, no nothing...
just flash it and it is all done now!
it is surprising that I need to do this on a unbranded/unlocked device.... the x310e 's tethering is *still* locked by AT&T.../
does the top left of my device saying "Security Unlocked" mean anything special?

Honestly, I don't know. If you have successfully HSPL your deice and you're using a custom ROM, not a stock ROM, you should be good to go.

it is surprising that I need to do this on a unbranded/unlocked device.... the x310e 's tethering is *still* locked by AT&T.../
does the top left of my device saying "Security Unlocked" mean anything special?

I take it you're using that Titan inside US? If so, then you will need to have a tethering plan with ATT (as I understand with most US carriers, they make you pay to tether). Otherwise if you're on a custom ROM, you can follow the guide in the Titan development forum about unlocking the tether option with ATT.
end up having to do the registry hack to get tethering to work...
this is kind of crap seeing as it is an unbranded/unlocked device which is still affected by AT&T's tethering limitation.... for example, the Lumia 800 isn't faced with this issue. Perhaps it may be time to switch to tmobile soon..
