View Full Version : Elite Team ROM Project & Signing Team

Hi Guys,
So, this is the placeholder thread for a ROM we intend to produce... we want ideas... donations would be a plus, we don't actually have a Diamond.
Also, we want people familiar with building and extracting NBHs, or with a bit of savvy, who we can trust who we want to give our signing certificate to so they can sign ROMs (for yourself, and for other people)
Those interested, please post!

Probably a noob question but anyways. Is this another team working on another project? I already donated to Tom's work. It doesn't really matter, I just want really nice things to happen really fast to the beloved Diamond. In fact I decided to wait for the Touch Pro but guess all this will jump start it when it finally arrives.

Me too, know the basics, but I'm not so retarded that I can't follow instructions to do anything you need once I've got one.

Count me in (if you are not full). Classed as a noob here...Elsewhere less so. I read more than I write. Anything to help "put back" into the xda-dev's....Plus, just seen I live up the road from mrvanx...Might even know him LOL.

yes, another project... since Tom Codon is just a feckless untalented twit who uses other people to release shit (yep, jocky made his (unworking) Hard-SPL, not Tom), he had success with the Nike project in getting a free device, so he fancied freeloading his way to one here. (interestingly, I was originally slated to get a device... enough money was made but it seems that disappeared into Tom's pocket)
So, I frankly don't like this crap, so we're stepping in to take over basically... this is partly why we're releasing the Hard-SPL with signing, so good Ole Tom doesn't rip us off and resume his game.
I was originally uninvolved in these politics, then people started telling me how Tom was deliberately trying to avoid working with me so he could release a Hard-SPL and keep the stuff to himself, well, I guess that fucking backfired now.
Anyway folks, me, cmonex, bepe and walshieau plan to bang out a a suitable ROM for your delight.
So, anybody with ROMs, skills and anything to contribute, PM Me or Cmonex (or post here, we'll get around to PMing you)!

Yeah, I think HTC are going to shit themselves a bit when they find this... and believe me they will, they're not particularly fast off the mark at catching this crap, but they'll find it eventually.
Next week I'll throw a big piece of shit in the bonfire by releasing a sim unlocker.

HTCs locking down of devices seems to fail as soon as someone who knows what they are doing even touches their systems...

Since they can never lock down the OS to prevent you running your own apps (because that'd never sell) they can't stop us putting stuff in RAM, so no matter what they try, we always have an angle to load our own stuff to flash.

Job well done, everyone is applauding...
However if you delay SSPL/HSPL version to flash unsigned ROMs, someone may patch your patch.
this is partly why we're releasing the Hard-SPL with signing, so good Ole Tom doesn't rip us off and resume his game.
Now YOU are talking about a rip-off? You, who even ripped your signature?

If you're not into politics why are you making things harder by confronting everyone all the time? Don't you see you are like tom_codon yourself, "shamelessly" accepting donations and "keeping the stuff" to yourself?

Oli and cmonex do a lot for this community whether you realize it or not. It seems like every new device that hits has oli and cmonex working on tools like hard spl and unlockers to further our tweaking and hacking needs. I can see why he gets frustrated with the state of things, he works quite hard on solving these technical challenges and all he gets for it is ripped off as in the case of people selling his unlockers on ebay. He may not seem like the friendliest of guys here but even if you don't like him you should at least respect him. I tip my hat to you oli and cmonex, you put up with more crap here than I likely would.

they actually did rebuild the bootloader this time and used the Radio to Write Protect the Original SPL, cmonex is just crafty ;)

actually it was a parody, not a rip, but I decided I liked it and retained it.
and sure, in principle it can be done, pragmatically however, that's a different kettle of fish... aaaand I'm not just talking about actually finding what to do and doing it.

Because mate, I can actually walk the walk, not just talk the talk and use other people.
And you're wrong about me not being into politics... it depends on which way the wind blows.

actually no, the SPL is the same, the radio is the trick here.
of course there is something else going on that's to do with the SPL itself, which made it much harder to get SSPL working...well you know what I mean here ;)

So my ten bucks went to the wrong pocket then, damn it! Anyways, the only thing I can contribute with is donations so you guys will have my ten bucks for a start. And of course testing when I get my Touch Pro in couple of months.

By all means, this is so true, apparently HSPL is way beyound and above Des's SSPL concept.
And you're wrong about me not being into politics... it depends on which way the wind blows.
That's it, however it may blow you away, keep steady...
Due to signature verification requirement people started posting patched Diamond HSPL. :( It's a matter of days for first bricks to appear now. Wouldn't it be fair to release a proper working HSPL from Elite team now?

I'll donate to the other team too because I think I'm beginning to like this fight of yours. At the end it's us to benefit from it I hope. Just make sure you use them appropriately.

that's a nice straw man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawman) you have there...
the diamond SSPL is certainly beyond the original one with so many extra patches needed. I have certainly never used Des' work for this.
and no, people haven't started "posting patched diamond HSPL" ... just one fucker who miserably failed... you see, we're not so stupid as to allow you to patch out two 4 byte strings.
but in any case, yes there is an unsigned HSPL now, so argument ends here :P

That's the spirit! Great effort and noteworthy result. Thank you for unsigned HSPL.
