Hi all!!!
Fist of all Im Not insulting anybody... This is for our BENEFIT.
After some post and time, in XDA general forum Im exposing this problem:
We have too much BRICKED Devices in wizard forums, cause our devices have too DOC CHIP Flash versions inside and the people dont reads enough information, to know where to go and ask whatever they think. So We suggest a solution... when somebody register on the forum it must be some fill spaces about his device like ours... but it is imposible!!! and they are right, the reason is We cant obligate everybody to do this, even if is an important Info to avoid damages.
So... Flar (MOD) told me that we can get a Stickie Thread to let knows to everybody in wizard forums to fill their signature with the information we need to answer their questions, its a great Idea!!!!
So the hope is the last thing to die....
PLEASE EVERYBODY FILL YOUR SIGNATURE WITH YOUR DEVICE INFO
So let me tell you what Info is important to fill in:
Device Model Provided if not in front cover under the battery in the label that say the IMEI and serial (If you want the name that carriers use, I think is not important but i see some people wit his HTC UNIVERSAL using Roms for wizards!!!) BRICKED PDA!!!
IPL and SPL version, provided by a softreset on the second screen(this info is shown on the second splash screen when device boots)
Radio version provided too in the second splash screen (when the phone starts or boot after the softreset under the name GSM!)
OS Version its shown again in the second splash screen (are just number like 1.0.0.0. or something like that)
The Rom you are currently using, Developer and Windows mobile version too, give to the chefs his fame and reputation too!!! they deserve lots of congrats even the ROM is ugly... cause it costs too much than a bricked device. if you have an original ROM please provide the link to it and all the info.
CID/SIM locked or unlocked SuperCID(G3), softSPL or HardSPL (G4) if you never do the unlock process on tutorial... You Are locked!!!
Its important that you read carefully the wiki Cause it has so much informatino like knowing about your DOC CHIPSET G3 or G4 (IPL, SPL can do it too) there is some Faq Manual if you can read a little too.
IF you got any question or suggest PM me you can found ME around Here.
Thanks To all!!!!! and mods to let me put this Stickie on every Topic in wizard forums.
Thanks to all the new members that recah his limits just for revives his devices or upgrade his devices we are here for help y'all.
Thanks to all Seniors, Administrators and Moderators for support our forum...
Im kinda MISS UNIVERSE????!!!!!
See on the upper lever bar of this web it says... USER CP click it and then on the Left bar see the option Signature... to edit your info
Just if you dont know what am I talking about.
HTC Raphael Wiki Pages
The xda-developes wiki system is a (shamefully) under-used resource, lets change that shall we? The information is available to ALL users and naturally being a wiki everyone can contribute to it, details about ROMs and download links etc can be added when they appear and it is easy to use.
ALL new members need to take a read through it BEFORE asking questions since if it is a common topic you WILL find it in the wiki.
Common useful pages in the wiki include:
HTC Raphael for Beginners
HTC Raphael Images*
Raphael Tips & Tweaks
HTC Raphael Specifications
Model and CID FAQ
Software utilising the sensors in the Raphael
HTC Raphael Cooking Resources (CustomRUU, Kitchens etc..)
HTC Raphael OEM Packages
Rather than have an endless number of sticky threads containing the same information as in the wiki we actively encourage ALL members to use the wiki to its full potential, lets make an example of this forum and show the community in its best light.
Dont be scared of adding/editting information, its there for everyone so if something usefull is not in the wiki....add it!
Note:: we will be monitoring ALL changes so dont abuse the system. If there is a popular page which you think deserves a quick shortcut to in this sticky thread, PM a moderator to have it added. Enjoy people.
* Not yet in the wiki, perhaps somebody should add it?
Hi,
Can we please have a separate sticky thread which clearly and precisely describe the procedure for replacing the Official ROM with a cooked ROM? Like we have in Vox Forum - all the senior members has a very clear readme file for flashing the Vox with their ROMs- I found that is not the case with this forum. Plus there is jockeyw's post for spl. As I am a bit confused also do not know why I need to hardspl my Gene as it is unbranded!
Sorry for my BAD english
Hey thats a great idea. I was thinking about it for some time but didn't found the time to create one. As soon as i get some time, i'll do it with pleasure. Then we can keep the first post in the thread updated based on user responses. What say?
Regarding your query, Your phone is unbranded means it is not tied up, or in other wordsm sim locked to any particular provider. But HTC is your provider in that case. So its not really unbranded, its just not tied to a particular operator.
The original SPL checks ROM for whether it is signed by digital certificate of HTC or not and does not gives permissions to unsigned ROMs or ROMs that are signed using some other certificate. The custom ROMs are signed by using the personal certificate of the chef which doesn't meets this criteria. Therefore, the SPL also needs to be replaced with one that doesn't checks for any particular certificate.

Thanks a million for the info. Actually I was confused since I didn't have to USPL my Vox.
But I will wait for some time before I flash my Gene. I don't want to brick my Vox just one day after buying It . I would rather wait for your stickey post
BTW after flashing my Gene with, say GENE_wm6.1_19971wwe fusion9.0_new_gene_GENEs (SN:HT 8XX) - will there be more free space? Any ideas? Or can you please tell me by using which ROM will give me most free space?
Thanks in advance.

post removed coz i realize that i had used harsh language,which shouldn't be used in the forum. But nevertheless, my feelings remain same
can u tell me is it old or new gene
Nobody in this world can tell you a phone is old or new gene. Its only become known when you follow the process given in tutorial actually. If you read the tutorial instead of wasting time here, you will get to know exactly what i mean. THis is a developers forum, for heavens sake, and you cant even read a 1 page tutorial?

Thanks for reply.
When I run gene_hspl_ht8x.exe I get error in a small diloug box is
"'Gene HSPL'
Unknown version of SPL.
HSPL FAIL."
btw, If I try to unlock spl with sumit's trick old hspl wont work for me for sure.and my gene will brick. But what if the new hspl is not even working on it? My phone will be bricked for ages....
someone please help....
I do not if it will work for you or not. There is a spl file in Zelalat's ROM thread by ankit360, the Hard SPL file or rather the Gene Bricker (LOL) worked for me from that post. But do it at your own risk.
read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2953612&postcount=2
BTW, right now krazy has an excellent tutorial, ramersonw has another, but you people just dont have enough time to read the forum. When I came to the Gene forum, what three or four months back there was nothing of this sort in the forum and everything was totally unorganized. Yet I was able to flash my Gene without asking much and reading a lot.

@svrhari
I dont want to be harsh, but what the hell you think of me?
You have your gene unlocked by the easy tut. but I have bought it 2 days ago.
I have a low post count so this doesnt mean that Im a nub.Im reading this forum from 3 weeks ago. I have all the tools from the stickies, and i have followed them all.
So if you think you are wasting your time, please ignore thise thread. thread.

^^I flahshed my Gene on the same day I bought it without any tutorial, so your point is?
Have you tried the file in Zelalat's thread (ankit's Post not zelalat's, that did not work for me)
@Xmuit
hi
i flashed my Phone after 6 months of buying my phone i joined this forum few days since i got my phone but the day i decided to do HSPL i decided that it was my decision and at that time their was no tut here and just because u bought ur phone a few days back dose not mean people here have to jump to help u and buy the way this has nothing to do with post iv been here for a long time and my post count might be less than ur so
AND I DID MY HSPL THE HARD WAY THEIR WAS NO TUT AVAILABLE WHEN I DID IT
yes i got help but i did not put up a thread i asked individuals in the various threads and also by PM and after a long long time this great guy helped me whom i don't want to mention here but he too helped me when he as free and i waited for the same
EVEN today i dont put up threads for my personal self i put threads which are also useful to other
AND WHOS MISTAKE IS IT THAT U BRIKED UR PHONE NOT ANY ONE HERE
i gaurentee u that if u read Krazy stiky save it on ur comp and read it around 10 times and use the tools do wat it says word for word sucess is urs
don't u DARE show ur frustration & anger on me its ur mistake that u briked ur phone no ones else is responsible OK
still wishing u luck

Firstly Mind Your Manners Everyone.
(doesn't mean anyone's wrong)
imblfmstr, as you can see (check that big banner in my signature).
There are tips on creating a new Thread about YOUR problem.
It helps to go through the stickies, because after that you can mention which steps you have tried from those stickies.
(in case you then decide to start a new thread)
And try to imagine that your device does not get saved by the tips in the Stickies, but by something not mentioned in the sticky and that then only gets posted in this new thread.
Because most people would go through the stickies this (hypothetical) new information might get lost to those users.
That is why a lot of users try to make clear the importance of posting and using the stickies instead of opening a new thread that can easily disappear to page 147 (which no one ever reads)
Why r u writing it to me
thats fine but it was someone else who popped up this thread
my problem was solved with help of krazy
Thnx for the search bar addon...
We should keep forums clean!!man u ppl cant send ne private msg. to experts like krazy,svr( he is not a chef,but he still helps oder ppl a lot,Ankit,addicted.plz dont waste threads:l
i had flashed my mobile on next day of purchase.
A Request to all New Members please Read stickeys!! before posting ne new thread.95% of things are already there in stickeys.Still if u dont understand read 1nce again or send private msg.
Hi everybody!
Few days ago HTC 7 Mozart was introduced officially in Moscow and I fell for it.
After reading few articles about unlocking, downgrading and flashing it I came to the conclusion that there is nothing I can do to my Mozart because of the new version of bootloader and so on, does anybody have an idea how can I chevronwp7, downgrade,or flash new rom to my HTC?
OC: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware: 2250.21.40600.411
Hardware: 0004
_______________
Bootloader:
SPL 4.6.2250.0(129193)
PD67100 SS-BC(4K)
TOUCH F1(V69)
And it is already unlocked( works with any sum)
I'd be interested to see a reply to this question too, I've had a look at most of the threads and there seems to be conflicting advice from many, many different people on many different threads discussing the same thing. If someone more qualified than people like me and the guy who posted this question could post a 'sticky' or wiki at the top of the forum section with a current known status of roms and bootloader combinations etc it would be great- there seem to be a lot of noobs like myself and this guy who are posting loads of questions asking pretty much the same thing and I'm sure it must wind the more experienced people on here up a little. Maybe better to keep it in all one place eh? If someone wants to mail me the info I don't mind typing it out etc again into a post/sticky.
