Iolite Regionlock-how to remove? - Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development

Htc Iolite WWE has english language
By flashing RUS rom using gold card all goes right, by finishing and rebooting it says that rom not desighned for this region.
I've tried to disassemble russian rom in QMAT and assemble it with OS only without radio and spl, and it hangs on "loading" in bootloader... I understand, that firmware must be original shipped, or sighned by Htc, otherwise, it wont flash via gold card. Maybe another way to do it? I've found firmware that contains OS only, named "IOLITE_WWE2RUS_HTC__032_signed.nbh" it flashes via gold card and flashing and works, but i seriously doubt, that Htc done this version. You wrote that Rom must be patched to remove region lock. How to do it? Sorry for bad English...

No way. Only HTC private key.

Redional lock

To my knowledge,QMTA will temporarly make your device super CID to let you flash another ROM, but you still have to modifiy the shipped ROM by using NBHutil to take the shipped ROM apart and rebuild it.
Once you have an RUU_singed.nbh built by NBHutil, then, and only then you can flash without problems usinng the Iolite special RUU found in the Iolite forum.

correct, so only HSPL will help. I also have my own program to make the regionid patch.

And how goes the hardspl progress?
All here waiting for a hardspl for lolite.
EDIT:
Nevermind. I just saw your other post.
Thanks for your efforts.

Animelover from HTC-DEVs works hard, maybe this week! (today, tomorrow...)
Greetings!

Great! Waiting for this day.
Great!!!

Not cool
Greetings. First of all, I'd just like to say I have the utmost respect for cookers, since they develop their applications and programs on their own time. I can relate to that. Everyone is good at something and takes pleasure in doing it. And I also appreciate forums such as XDA-Developers, that are based on one helping the next out.
But... It's just not cool to leave us drooling over something for 2 times in a row:
1 - like saying "will get around to releasing HSPL soon" and then not hearing word from for 2 months;
2 - Saying that it is done and you're just going out to lunch and then you're gonna upload it, then a week passing and no word from, yet again.
I can understand that unexpected things can happen and you might not be able to do the Hard-SPL, but at least let us know that it won't happen, so we can go ahead and sell our Iolites and buy some other HTC that has Hard-SPL available. Just let us know once and for all if we should abandon all hope.
Best regards,
Bruno Santana.

New cing/ATT aku3.5.2 WWE_2_1_.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00

So here it is.. this is an official release, just not officially to the public... I have posted 3 flavors of it... although word of warning, cingular definitely had their fill of bloatware with this one...
1. The original (WWE_2_1_.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108)
*edit if you have 1.01MFG bootloader the original will fail and your phone will be stuck in bootloader, you can fix this by using mtty and issuing the "set 14 0" command and soft resetting
2. Oli SPL 1.40, OS, Ext Rom, and 1.40 radio
3. Oli SPL 1.40, OS, Ext Rom
and as pof mentioned earlier you will need hardspl or sspl to flash #2 and #3
*thanks pof, i forgot to mention that
intentionally left blank
Thank You
Thanks Shogunmark. I downloaded them and will flash them tomorrow after getting some sleep. I've only been flashing roms for a month, but i've learned quite alot reading posts from you and the others who are far more knowledgable than myself.
gracias time to do some snooping
WOW!
Answer to my prayer....been going on here everyday, today the 11th 3am, and here it is waiting for me....thanx BuD-Dy
Yes It Works
ok i downloaded and installed the 1st one (original)
its great so far very stable but it is 335am in NJ...so you never know...but so far its working great....no flaws that i can see boot time is a lil longer..but other then that very stable..time will tell....
The full rom has IPL-1.03
Sounds Awsome...
Now can anyone PLEASE tell this newbie,
(1)
what's the difference between 1st ' The Original ' and 2nd ' Oli SPL 1.40, OS, Ext Rom, and 1.40 radio ' ... (i figured out 1st one is .exe & 2nd is .rar,so possibly more files; but which one is better?)
(2) How to flash / upgrade either of 'em onto Brand New Cingular 8525?
(is it possible to upgrade / flash from 2gb micro sd on the device itself?)
Thanks a million in advance, Jags
shogunmark
Can create one with
Oli SPL 1.40, OS, and 1.40 radio
i.e. no ext rom?
Thanks
Truthfully, if you don't already know the difference, use the first "original" file. Or, read the wiki, then decide. Either way, you got some learnin' to do before you try out #2 or #3. Good luck. If you do read thw wiki, you will become unhealthily addicted to your phone - just a fair warning.
Edit: Oh, BTW, the wiki will answer your other questions too. Too long of answers to rehash here. Finally, try forum and google searchesnext time. Great google search "tool" posted at the top of the Hermes forum.

The original is signed by HTC and unmodified, will upgrade all your rom parts (including radio which can be dangerous if the upgrading process fails for some reason), and will upgrade also your SPL to 1.11.
The one including SPL-1.40 is not signed with the valid key, so you need to start the upgrade either using SSPL or by having flashed HardSPL on your hermes first. These are modified bootloaders which allow you to flash code without the proper signature, and will allow you to flash any rom on your device.

If you want the upgrade as provided by cingular use the first one, you will only be able to flash it if you have a 8525 (or another hermes if you have flashed HardSPL or made your device SuperCID previously). If you are somehow a bit "advanced" user and like to play with rom upgrades, and flash your device frequently, go to one having HardSPL.

yes, all aku >=3.3 have internet sharing.
I apologize for displaying an attitude. I was really just trying to point you to a good source to get you prepared to do the kinds of things that the other versions allow. I was not trying flame you, just help you not brick your device. I do sincerely apologize if I offended.

Update to CustomRUU coming

Hi Guys
it's been rather a long time, so I'll be releasing an update to CustomRUU within the next few days.
recently, Myself & Cmonex have managed to hack up our own SSPL via JSPL by pof... although we did have to hack the EXE up quite a bit, and the IPL still has to be loaded manually (ish) the plan is to create a new CustomRUU that will utilise a version of SSPL of my own making; this will come in two flavours (when you opt for it) - a "recommended" SSPL; which will block all SPL updates. and a second "not recommended" SSPL, which will allow ANY SPL to be flashed... so if you desperately need to return to stock, this is your problem solver.
Cheers guys!
Regards from Oli and Cmonex
woo,it's really a long time,I never mind.thank you!!!

yes... but I can't code it in 10 seconds flat, so don't PM me right now for Gods sake.
On second thoughts... just don't PM me, as soon as it's done I'll be posting here.
and yes everyone, the autodetect will now detect 2.30, if you've been enough of a naughty sod to download it.
Awsome news!
Thanks Olipro!!
Awsome,
Thanks a lot.
i waiting for this everyday. Thank you much .
Thanks for the 2.30 support oli!!

So is the "recommended" flavor the replacement standard method for flashing, or is it just to be used alongside HardSPL v7 for special situations?
So how do we become naughty enogh to download the new HardSPL since 2.10 is the one for download in the thread?

it's in the WLAN fixing thread... alternatively, search for it on FTP.
I still don't know who it was that uploaded it there, I gave it to so many people to play with that I've forgotten
OK, the updated CustomRUU is complete, and is being uploaded now

[warning] Please read this before flash any official rom

When I came to this forum I see people damaging their gene by flashing a ROM with IPL, SPL or radio (GSM). Even with so many warnings people continue flashing original roms without taking any care. Thinking about it I decided to make this thread to see if these errors decrease.
How to know that rom has IPL, SPL or GSM?
It is very simple. Download htcRIE which is attached. Run the program and open the .Nbh file of the ROM who you want to flash. If in the right panel appears IPL.nb and/or SPL.nb and/or GSM.nb this rom can damage your unit.
How to remove these files from my ROM?
Using htcRIE select the files (IPL.nb, SPL.nb, GSM.nb) and click <delete select files>. When finished click <save current file>.
Now you can flashing your rom without fear of brick your device.
Please don't flash a rom who contains IPL, SPL or GSM. It will brick your device. Sometimes in a irreparable way.
PS.: if you are brave enough to use JTAG method you could revive your gene or send it to service center if the worse occurs.
I hope I have helped.

On flashing TNT and Hornet, it says that the updater is not new enough and leaves my wizard in the 3color bar state. I also have been unable to connect to my home wifi network through my wizard, through either the love rom, or the touch hd. anyone have suggestions?

but you have to read HOW TO UNLOCK, HOW TO FLASH and thats it, once you read you wll be able to unlock/flash
be sure to know if you have a G3 or G4 device, always have a fully charged battery to unlock, flash etc.
Better to use a xp based PC, use the lastest activesync, have a USB cable in good conditions, never ever touch the screen/cable in the unlock/flash, do not run another programs while unlock/flash.
Ok those are just some advices, all you migth need is in the forum..
GOOD LUCK!

CustomRUU Question

I have a stock Leo 1024 with spl 2.10 can i just hook up my phone using the windows mobile center and run the the CustomRUU.exe. Or do i need to flash my phone to hspl 1.42 in order for the flash to be successful. I have read the topics and honestly i am still confused. I guess cause i am reading alot of scenarios which in the end makes me more confused than when i first started reading. Cause i was reading in one thread that i dont need to flash to another hspl if i wanna keep my waranty and stuff like that. any help is greatly apprecieated
use hspl3 - choose 2.08.hspl
thanx...much appreciated. i just used hspl3 and it worked like a charm. do u know what radio works best for miri & dinik rom or is it pretty much based on your own personal phone?
