    It is step (1d)
    You really need to read that page from top to bottom. Here is the link again

    And I did the HSPL way because I was easier to me. You will only have to unlock once. Not every time a new rom comes out.

            Jassy B Dubai, 06 Jun 2009Hi I also have the same question about ROM update like i... moreI'm not sure about the official Europe ROM whether it will work or not in the middle east..
            My phone was from UK (Orange). I had to unlock it because it wasn't working here in Bahrain.
            But the reason i'm recommending these updates is to install cooked Roms where you can do whatever you want with your phone. Battery life will last long too..

            Please go through the previous 10 to 15 posts to understand what's going on..

                                zak, 05 Jun 2009my last question is about is it really worth to install tho... moreFirst you have to check if your Rom is updated to the latest one, if not go to the official website and look for the latest one. 1.56 or 1.59 i don't know, as long as it is above the 1.56.. You can look for them here too, easier to see depend on your region..

                                http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Ship_exe

                                Then when you're done installing official Rom, do the steps i gave you, from turning off your phone and and USPL and so on..

                                    they werent showing in the topic whats the difference between USPL and HSPL i though that you have to use both inorder to install a ROM i didnt realize that both do the same job and you can choose ..

                                    by the way what i have to do now is just to download USPL and the DUTTY ROM follow your steps and VOILLA ???

                                    do you recommend USPL OVER HSPL ?

                                        zak, 05 Jun 2009dear dexter .. thanks for the tip ... but may i ask now .... moreWhen you buy Windows phones from different regions, you can't flash(Install) Any Rom unless its from that region. Example (Europe, MiddleEast, North America, Asia.. etc)

                                        For example i live in the Middle East but i bought the HD from UK. It doesn't work here, and i can't install the middle east Rom from the official website. So i unlocked it using HSPL. Now that i unlocked it i can flash(Install) any Rom i want.

                                        SPL:
                                        The one that is stock (When you bought it) It only lets you flash your region Rom and Official ones only

                                        HSPL:
                                        Makes your phone flash(install) any Rom you want.
                                        But it should affect the warranty if the agency found out you unlocked it. You'll have to install SPL again before taking it to service or fixing.

                                        USPL:
                                        It unlocks your phone temporarily just to install any Rom but if you later want to install another Rom you have to run USPL again. And this is recommended because when you take your phone to service, the warranty will still be valid because the colored screen (Boot Loader) will show the official SPL.. :)

                                        1.56+:
                                        Latest Roms.

                                        Phone could not be bricked, not if you have enough battery charge to flash Rom atleast 20 - 30%. Imagine a phone running out of charge while flashing a ROM? It will definitely get bricked.

                                        That's all and i still recommend going through the link i sent you..
