I am using (other carrier) on the sprint network and i want to update my rom for the first time. I have read the guide many times but the one part i dont completely understand is it says " When the phone reboots to the screen that says "tap here to setup", you need to put the phone back in bootloader. DO NOT PROCEED PAST THIS SCREEN so that customizations do not run." How do i put it back in bootloader screen? Im sure this is very simple however since i do not have a sd card and use my phone as modem i thought it would be best to ask before i try and get myself stuck with a name brand "HTC" brick.

Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can give me.

To put the Titan in bootloader mode press and hold the power, camera, and reset buttons all at the same time.

I'm afraid that is personal preference. You have gone to all the trouble to unlock your phone so it would be all for nothing if you just flashed a stock ROM. If you want 6.1 ROM's DCD makes the best ones in my opinion. If you want to be cutting edge you could try 6.5 ROM's. there are a few on this site including mine. It's very simple with not a lot of added Apps so you can load the Apps YOU want. My advice is to try them all and find one thats right for you, just remember to hit the thanks button on whoever you download from.
