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.

Actually there is a Root Unlock on Windows Phone, between your (2) and (3)

The bottom line is if you are not going to publish apps, there is no reason to spend that $99/yr. Dev unlock only gives you ability to side load apps. That's about it.

From my experience with a Titan 2 there is no way to install a custom ROM or even a Stock ROM, They were only ever released for AT&T and although you can unlock them for use on other carriers you will be stuck with AT&T setings and not be able to use MMS,
At least that was what I found out earlier in the Year when I purchased one from USA,
Best of luck.

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....

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.
