This page explains the process to dump the ROM of your Gene. The HTC_gene does not have a disk-on-chip flash, like most other HTC devices, you can however use pdocread with the -w switch.

pdocread is part of the itsutils tools collection, you can download the source + executables here.

Now let's start the process:

1. Unzip the contents of itsutils.zip on c:\itsutils
2. Connect your Hermes to PC using USB cable, and make sure ActiveSync is running
3. Start -> run -> cmd.exe

4.C:\>cd its*

C:\itsutilsbin-20070323>pdocread.exe -l

5. If you get the following errror, probably your device is application locked:

C:\itsutils>pdocread.exe -l
Copying C:\itsutils\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll
Could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, maybe it is inuse?
try restarting your device, or restart ActiveSync
Check this wiki article on information about how to avoid that. Basically you have to modify this registry key, and then softreset using power button:

HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies
valuename '00001001' was set to dword:2, change it to dword:1

dword: any thing other than 1 disallows unsigned
dword: 1 allows unsigned

This does not include the IPL, splash and SPL.

6. Check that all the partition sizes reported by pdocread are correct:

C:\itsutils>pdocread -w -d DSK1: -p Part02 0 0x3310800 Part02.raw

and the part01\part00 also like this

I find another way to dump os and extrom parts from device and created small programm for it.

Programm dump_gene_os_extrom.exe do dump os and extrom from Gene to memory card. Created files are identical os.nb and extrom.nb, extracted from official RUU_Signed.nbh, and allow rom coocking with it.
Usage:
Copy dump_gene_os_extrom.exe on your device. Insert SD-card with at least 70 MB free on it. Run copied program. After some time you will see message - Dump complit. On SD-card will be files os.nb and extrom.nb.

Sir，there's some question for u,i need ur help.I'v download "jumpspl",it has two folders,one is "G3",another is "G4".Each folder has three files-"JumpSPL.exe"、"spl"and"spl.nb".Now i have the GENE uspl file,but its name is "1.10-Olipro.nb",Should I rename "1.10-Olipro.nb" to "spl.nb" to cover the file spl.nb,then connect GENE to pc by activesync and run jumpspl.exe?
THS!

Copy jumpspl.exe on your device, at root.
Copy 1.10-olipro.nb on your device, at MyDocuments.
Run jumpspl.exe on your device.
Enter 0x10000000 as address.
Select 1.10-olipro.nb in list, and press and hold "Power" and "Camera" button.
White screen is appear.
Now your device is temorary CID-unlocked, and allow flash any language Gene ROM or selfmade ROM's.
Attach USB-cable and run RomUpdateUtility.exe to flashing your Gene.

ops...
Possibly spl by olipro don't remove cid lock.
You must got the CID of your device, extract nb files from WWE ROM nbh, and convert it by "HTC ROM tool" back to ruu_signed.nbh, but with your CID.

spl by olipro don't remove cid lock or patch wrong.maybe.if You got the CID of your device do not flash the rom ,maybe the device still locked .
