Problem with unlocking is that you must start out in Windows Mobile (Activesync or WMDC) so that the phone can load and work from a temporary bootloader which runs in RAM. This temporary bootloader then permits flashing the unlocked bootloader on to EMMC. If you can't get into Windows Mobile, you can't unlock.

Not sure what to do at this point except get my Touch Diamond out of the box. I'm not giving up my legacy SERO, that is for sure. $30 / month ... with pick 3 and 6pm nights and weekends. I'll keep my eyes open for another TP2 that is in good condition.

Yeah, Olinex states in their instructions that you have to start out in WinMO but I remember with the Vogue you could run that unlocker from the regular rainbow bootloader without booting into WinMo first and syncing and I suspect if the TP2 unlocker were not so locked down you could do the same. I mean I remember many many Vogue users not being able to boot or flash or they flashed the wrong unlocker and they had to run the unlocker/hspl without booting first.
