The latest ROM from Gullum is his Diamond styled multi-language ROM.
You'll need to use the "New" upgrade guide rather than the old method. There is a sticky for it at the top of this forum.
Or, you can use Dioxda2s "Lazy_Tool" (which I need to go and sticky...) to cut out a few steps!

just read the sumits stiky do it word for word he has given such great details that even some one who has zero knoledge like me could do it
good luck
hari
using : sumits vanilamanila(for old gene) and loving it
What apears is that you have flashed your device without SPL-ing it, please try to reflash your Gene with the original ROM, which you will find in krazy's Stickey. Best of Luck. And by the way, why don't you ask first before flashing your Devices? I asked around 20 questions before first flashing my Vox!
Shaunak, its not worth your effort answering these kind of threads, enough is enough. We are not here to do the Kidwalking, let them search on their own.

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.
why wast ur time
hi
dear Krazy& addict why was ur time
first of all sumits stiky is the first posting no one needs a guide to find it and i think this guy has not even read it when i did it their was no help but now we have very detail simple tuts for every thing so let him read try and then ask for help
@Xumit
pls read stiky by sumit it also has all req tools try it and then come for help
their is no room for lazyness here and their is no easy way to do it OK
good luck

@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.
