I have made an unlocker/patched bootloader for the touch. This is similar to the Hard-SPL for the Titan (Thanks Olipro for the lessons and the modified version of Pof's JumpSPL). It will CID unlock your device and allow you to flash unsigned code, these changes allow custom roms to be used.
If you need your device to be perfect for work etc. you might want to make sure you have a backup plan before running this. It has been tested successfully, but just remember you don't NEED to use this unlocker =)
This is only the first step for custom roms, but if you look in my folder on the FTP you will see a test rom that will give you 10mb more storage space with no additional chances. It wasn't customized, but it was to test that the unlocker worked. The same tools for rom making on the Titan work for the Vogue by the way.
Please read all the instructions in the unlocker itself. It will need to be downloaded to the PC and then run while the device is attached with activesync. At one point you need to disconect and reconnect. At this point it will look like it's flashing a rom (standard rom update utility). Let that complete. Finally you will need to disable USB in activesync for the exitbl step. That's about it, if you have trouble re-read this post and the instructions again.
When completed successfully it will show version 0.40.CoKe and your device will be unlocked
Notes:
* No need to extract, it will run straight from the exe (it's not just an RUU)
* When flashing roms or this unlocker, be prepared for a hard reset
* This will
not enable you to flash roms made for other devices (titan, 6700 etc.)
* This is for a CDMA device; the HTC Vogue aka Sprint Touch. (not Elf)
* I haven't protected this bootloader from overwriting so any stock EXE (includes a bootloader) ROM will relock the device. I suggest only flashing custom nbh files after using the unlocker (they don't generally include bootloaders). I did this so that there is no need to create a custom relocker (for warranty concerns), and in general if installing only custom roms it won't be a problem. This means....
VERY IMPORTANT / Warning: If your carrier did not release a rom and you flash an exe of another carrier you won't be able to flash ANY rom until unlocking again (this requires
booting into WM)
Thanks to my brave testers: Lattisimo and Sonny.
Alright here it goes:

P.S. Let's try to keep this thread on topic. The hard-SPL thread in the titan forum got a bit out of hand. If you have questions about making custom roms, tools (same as titan), boot screens etc. please use a different thread.
