My other question is about the ROM (dcd kitchen 3.2.6). When I unrar the rom, there is a ton of stuff in a folder. I was thinking it was gonna be one file I would put on the SD and rename... Was I not supposed to unrar it or what? or is it the whole folder that is supposed to go on the SD? Basically.. What am I to put on the SD to flash?

Thankfully I have not done anything yet. I was only walking myself through everything and trying to make sure I understood everything, then I got to this point. Thanks for your help in advance.

to the first question, yeah just rename (if needed) the nbh

as far as the ROM, it sounds like its already in an RUU folder:
to flash via RUU, just look for the exe to start the Rom Upgrade Utility..
to flash via SD Card look for RUU_signed.nbh and rename + drag to card...

Wow Thanks for the fast reply! I did find the RUU in the folder. I was posting an edit as you were replying to this. I didn't know if I was able to run that while in splash screen because that's where I expect to be stuck with the gps radio and stock rom. Would I need to put in BL or do anything special... or is it really just plug up and run RUU? Thanks again!

If you flash via RUU it will put the phone into bootloader for you (you dont hafta do it)
but if you want to put in bootloader b4 you start the RUU, that's also fine (it wont hurt a thing)
oh and yes it's that EZ, just plug up and run RUU (make sure ran the unlocker first)

However, I recommend flashing via SD Card - only because its so much faster

Thank you!! I will buy a 2gb tomorrow and flash via SD... as long as I find this RUU_signed.nbh.

How long should the nueSPL2.47 take on the first try via SD? His pdf says 10 seconds, but I've been staring at it in BL for about 10 minutes now... What next?

I think I did everything to the letter. It's like the first step, how did I mess it up?

Edit: Started over... Same deal, stuck on the BL and says TITA100 SPL-2.07No2Chem Titan SPL EVT. I am currently trying it the "edited" way from your guide (i.e. unrar and run it from the device...). If this doesn't work, will the first way work (straight to SD and rename it)?

Well thanks. I suppose I'll just try olipro and see if that will do it. Is there a big diff b/w the two?

Gosh... olipro wont work either... 2 tries. the RUU ends with an error

Oy... Neither unlocker wants to work for me... must be a sign :/
