Actually there is a Root Unlock on Windows Phone, between your (2) and (3)I am guessing you are a little new to Windows Phone right? Rooting is only done on Android devices.
Now to answer your question ...there are three levels of unlocking standards for WP. -I will post a link from the WP thread explaining these level of unlocks entirely when I am not busy.

A short a sweet version is (1) The Developer Unlock (2) The Interop Unlock (3) The God Mode Unlock -Full Unlock
As of right now, the Titan, Titan 2, - and any second gen HTC WP device is only able to do the developer unlock at the moment. -Developer unlocks can only side load apps. In order for us to have a custom ROM we must have an unlocked bootloader. -Which is also not currently available for our phones just yet.
Alrighty then, now you have a little understanding of what we can/can't do just yet. Tune in and be patient and we might get something soon.
Right...yea my bad...Actually there is a Root Unlock on Windows Phone, between your (2) and (3)
Nope! That's a separate sort of unlocking I'm afraid. You might need unlock codes to carrier unlock.any of these levels involve unlocking for different sim carriers?
To Dev unlock...for free...you have to be a student, otherwise if not a student you have to pay 99$ to dev unlock your phone.So, what options for dev unlock titan 2?
Thanks
$99 is not just unlock your phone. You get to publish apps you wrote and unlock up to 5 phones.To Dev unlock...for free...you have to be a student, otherwise if not a student you have to pay 99$ to dev unlock your phone.

Also may I add that $99 is not one-off. It is $99 per year.$99 is not just unlock your phone. You get to publish apps you wrote and unlock up to 5 phones.
if I buy a Titan II from the US, can i use it in India and flash a current/latest custom ROMs?Too bad, there are several apps that I would like to be able to side-load. But that is not worth $99 annually.
Thanks
You are correct! Thanks to the HTC Titan II, I made absolutely sure that when I bought another device it was the Titan I, not the Titan II despite it's better camera and LTE. I'm eyeballing one of the Windows Phone 8 models but I'm saying to myself if Microsoft and carriers have perfected making the Titan II bootloader unlockable then what will the future bring. Windows Phone 7 should have been what Windows Phone 8 is and I'm hoping with the formal release of Windows Phone 7.8 in early 2013 there will be more substance to the release than just the customized tile display; I mean for Christ's sake if that is all there is to it then release it to Windows Phone 7 devices. That said, I'm hoping what is released will allow us to run programs like Skype in background.Not completely accurate -
there is one stock ROM around for the Titan II - I haven't tried it, but there you are - no one has reported back after flashing it to say if it is useful....
If you carrier unlock a Titan II and take it somewhere else it will depend if the carrier you use has the same frequencies as AT&T, and also whether the HTC connections app can help you out. The app is designed to facilitate use of HTC phones on other carriers by trying to set up the connection specs for you. I don't know how effective it is, I'm on AT&T.....
So there you go....
