Unlocker won't unlock ???

Hi guys,
Full disclosure, I'm a noob at the PPC thing, but I can follow directions pretty well. I'm using maverick351ci's post "UPGRADING A USCC 6800 TO USE GPS" (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24511). I'm following the directions to the letter, but here's what happens:

Hard-spl-mfg.exe initializes via active sync okay. It loads a temporary spl to ram with JumpSPL, and i get a bootloader screen (rainbow colors and says on the phone "TITA100 SPL-2.40 MFG OLIPRO CPLD-9"

The command prompt on the computer (Sony laptop using XP) says I should see 3 color screen showing soft spl and that I should disconnect & reconnect device. Maverick's directions say that when I see the bootloader screen to run titan_radio_3.35.04.exe, so I do but I don't disconnect & reconnect. During (or just before) the radio program is "verifying the info on your PDA phone...please wait" activesync disconnects and then I get "Error [260]: connection" and it gets stuck in bootloader.

Then I have to disconnect and reconnect and run titan_exitbl.exe to get out of bootloader.

I tried just following the Olipro 2.40 directions (w/ disconnect & reconnect which also disconnects activesync) which runs a previous version of the radio program, but then during the execution of the radio program, a screen says

PDA phone rom update utility 5.16.4.2
current infomation about your PDA phone:
From: Image version:

To: Image version: 5060

Then, if I keep going, I get percentage completed bars on the phone and the computer, but it the gives me an "Error 262: update error"

The directions say to connect with activesync to run the program, but activesync always seems to want to disconnect at the moment of truth. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks guys, I do appreciate the help. From reading alot of different posts, this COULD be a really cool phone.

Pete

Following the Olipro 2.40 directions, by itself, does not install any version of the radio; it installs nothing but the Olipro Hard-SPL unlocked bootloader. Nothing else. It does use the Rom Update Utility for the second step of the process. The Rom Update Utility From Image Version should be blank and the To Image Version should say Hard-SPL_2.40. Somehow you are picking up a different RUU with a 5060 ROM image in it.

FOLLOW INSTUCTIONS COMPLETELY TO THE LETTER!

When you get to the 2.40 bootloader screen
Run the titan_radio 3.35.04.exe

...

I believe the instructions here say that step 4 is to run the Olipro Hard-SPL install, and to follow the instructions of that install to the letter; when it is completely finished, and you are on the resulting bootloader screen, then you proceed with step 5.

I tried that, too, but I think the biggest problem was activesync was disconnecting.

The UPDATE here is that I was poking around on HTC's site and in the software downloads section it said "Tip: If you are having challenges connecting with ActiveSync, please try: Start > Settings > Connection Tab > USB to PC > Deselect Enable advanced network functionality. "

Once I did that, it seemed to work! Now my problem is that it hangs on boot. But, HEY! It's progress!! and fun too!

The BuildOS program splashes a box that if you have this problem to take out the battery and put it back in, then do a hard reset. I tried that, but it hangs on the splash screen "PPCGeeks and PPCKitchen.org present" with the Swedish Chef in the bottom left. I tried taking the battery out and a hard reset twice...still hangs.

If you are using any of the O2 Today plugins that may explain the no-boot issue. Try removing them and see it it will boot then.

Keep in mind that if you cook too much into your ROM it will hang on bootup as well

Do you have the proper combination of ROM, radio, and bootloader installed?

Thanks, guys. Checking all that now. I put it into bootloader mode and re-ran the titan radio program and that seemed to make it work. Everything is working now. Appreciate the help, and I'm quite sure I'll need more. You guys are the BEST!
