Simple flashing guide w/Screenshots
 
Alright, since some people still have trouble flashing I will make a guide of my own for the Apache. There are others out there, but none with screenshots.

Step 1: Get the phone in bootloader mode by holding down the Power button the Record Button and your stylus in the reset hole. You will be given the dark bootloader screen saying "Serial" at the top and "v.X.XX" at the bottom, which is your bootlaoder version.

Step 2: If you are on a computer running Windows Vista make sure you have Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 installed. Now Open the program and go to "Connection Settings" and uncheck the first box, "allow USB Connections".

Step 3: Connect your Mini USB cable to your phone and straight into your computer USB port, don't use a hub or cradle. The Bootloader screen will now read "USB" at the top and the bootloader version at the bottom.

Step 4: Run the RUU for your ROM. This step can be different for which ROM you are flashing. If you are using a stock ROM there will be an excutable you download then run, follow the directions and you will be fine. As for my custom ROM, open the folder and run the excutable, then follow the directions on the screen.

Step 5: After the RUU is complete unplug the device and perform a hard reset, the go through device setup. If you turned off USB connections, turn them back on.

You and me both. The Titan forum is even worse. I am going to stop coming here if n00bs don't stop posting threads on GPS and getting stuck in bootloader. And don't anyone try and tell me "lighten up on the n00bs". I find it funny how those who don't help n00bs and those who's rank here is "lurker or n00b or PPCGeeks Regular" wanna tell us that are a little higher up to lighten up when we have been helping people for a long time...
