I actually have a new phone coming today because I had no idea what to do and when I called neither did Verizon.
I seen the GPS fix thread, downloaded all the necessary files, ran the first unlocker (.40) and it errored half-way through the process, I figured big deal I'll just run it again..
Well, my USB would show on the phone screen but in the bootload mode the unlocker programs couldnt detect my phone at all and I couldn't get out of bootload mode whether I hit soft reset or took out the battery. So I decided to try going ahead an upgrading, I tried the next step on the list (sprint rom) but the upgrade would error as well, then I tried the verizon one, error, and the just tried jumping back to the NFSFan ROM and it didn't even begin to error it said it wasn't allowed or something.
Anyways, I had no idea what to do... took it in to the store, they looked at it for awhile then told me to call a number, I tried the number and they attempted to wipe it from their side and couldnt do anything so they told me they'd send another one being I was still in my 1-year warranty.
Is this how you brick a phone? Having an error during an unlocker/upgrade? Or could I have fixed this if I asked here before I sent for a new 1? I don't mind because I'm hype for a brand new phone, I just wonder if it can be fixed incase this ever happens again.

to do the gpsfix you have to use coke .40, its not like its some old outdated thing the thread is from august everybodys been using it, all i want to know is if theres no return once an error occurs in the middle of an unlocker?

There is a fix
what is showing on the bootloader screen for the unlocker?
Also you may want to reflash a shipped ROM. I have had this happen on both Titans and Vogues and reflashing from the bootloader screen always solves the problem.

I'm assuming you have to flash via the SD card right? Because I tried doing it through the USB and all the ROMs would error because the unlocker never fully finished, I mean before all this my phone was unlocked by the 2.31 and I had the newest NFSFan running I just decided to go back for the GPSFix..
The bootloader screen wasn't froze, it showed the usual..
Upper right corner says "RUUNBH"
Then to the left top it says..
VOGU100
SPL-0.36.0000
CPLD-3
and Serial at the bottom until I put the USB in and it turns to USB.. but it doesn't get picked up by the unlocker if I try to re-run it

I guess I answered my own question.. to fix it I'd have to run the unlocker again from the SD Card so it finish's without error since the USB won't pick up right?
My problem is I've never ran anything from the SD card.. if anyone can tell me how you go about loading up an unlocker or ROM from bootload on the SD I'd appreciate it, this way when I get my new phone if I run into a similar problem I can fix it

Try installing this driver on your XP computer http://www.4shared.com/file/101893703/a59b72a/WindowsHTCdrivers.html if you have Vista let me know and I'll give you a link fvor that one. It should then allow you to communicate via USB. Also to answer your next question on flashing from the SD. It is simple you copy the NBH file from a ROM to Root directory of a FAT32 card 2 gb or less. Rename the file to VOGUIMG.nbh place the card into PPC and place into bootloader mode. Then follow the instructions.

It may delete anything else on the card while flashing.
I would take out the battery. Put in the SD card then turn the phone on. If, like you say, you are stuck in bootloader mode then it should start flashing as soon as it powers up.

Thanks everyone, I received my new phone this was mainly incase it happened again, but I also figured out why I ran into my problem..
During the unlocker I thought I knew the process being I'd done it multiple times, I skipped the part where I unplug the phone from USB and plug it back in so it's no longer connected with ActiveSync... thats why my unlocker error'd, so make sure you don't do that lol
What was messed up is my computers been acting like a piece of shit, it wouldnt even read my SD card so that I could put a file on it, but I don't think I'd wanna do it that way I have all my stuff on my SD card if it erased it I'd have been pissed..
ActiveSync does work, for awhile I thought the USB was only charging my phone because my new one wouldnt pick-up ActiveSync.. no idea why.. but if I plug it in and wait around 10 minutes it finally connects.
