Simple steps to flashing your own rom

[PapstDFrisco]

So going back to your original post - the steps to flashing your own rom - from the vzw 6800 perspective:
1) run olipro 2.40 (Hard-SPL-MFG.exe(ver2.40)) to upgrade the bootloader and unlock
cant use spl2.47 because I'm at a non-gps firmware/radio state
is TitanUnlocker.exe an acceptable equivalent choice?
2) run Titan_Radio_ROM_3.42.30.exe to upgrade the radio.
3) honestly not clear on what the winrar step is for does - most of the rom images only have the RUU_signed.nhb - like the ones from ImCoKeMaN, No2Chem, & NexVision - the ones from SBR_L3GIONN & Dette do have extra files and executables. So are these executables compatable across the different images or does each author have their own customized set? I suspect compatable but don't know for sure. The dcd_titan_3.2.0.exe is just that an executable not a rar - is it a self-extracting zip or an executable that has everything built-in? Also your link to the ftp site doesn't work on my computer - following the link on the menu above it now gives a different url.
So, I'm still confused about the after radio section of your walkthrough. Maybe you are just presuming facts that you think are in my chain of evidence - which of course they may be and I'm just not connecting the dots. So are you expecting me to unpack a file(s) here and if so which ones?
4) Download and unpack the main rom image.
5) Find and execute the romupdateutility.exe
6) After flash is complete reboot by removing and replacing the main battery.

Where is the carrier cab suppose to run if it does not run automatically?

Thanks again for all the assistance and your patience.
