How to: Remove Olipro Hard-SPL 1.40

[awojtas]

Once finished you will have:
IPL-0.20
SPL-0.24.0000

* Requires MiniSD card

On your PC
---
1. Copy the files in "jumpspl-urt.zip" to the root of your device. The detailed steps for this are:
i. Connect to your PC via ActiveSync
ii. Click "Explore" in ActiveSync
iii. Open "My Windows Mobile-based Device". You should see a dozen or so files.
iv. Drag-and-drop the files inside "jumpspl-urt.zip" into the "My Windows Mobile-based device" window, which is the root of your device.
2. Prepare a FAT32-formatted SD card with CHEEIMG.nbh (tested using 81Mb image extracted from Treo750_2_30_VF_NZ_DesktopUpdater)
i. CHEEIMG.nbh has to include the bootloader to be flashed
ii. This particular bootloader ONLY accepts SD cards or Serial, no USB connection, until you've flashed, then it supports USB.

On your device
---
1. Open "File Explorer". Browse to the root of your device.
2. Insert your SD card with CHEEIMG.nbh
3. You will need to press the bootloader key (side convenience key) while clicking on "jump-urt". Press the bootloader key 1 second BEFORE you click on "jump-urt". Keep holding the side convenience for at least 5 seconds until the bootloader screen actually appears.
4. Upgrade starts (let go of convenience key now). My device rebooted after 10 seconds and continued upgrading again. I assume this was due to the bootloader needing to be restarted.

Q&A:
Q: Can I now get rid of hermes radio from hell (1.54.30.10)?
A: No, as the radio bootloader itself won't talk to this bootloader (or any other Cheetah bootloader known to man at the moment :P). Damn thing. I only downgraded bootloader to try and get rid of it.
According to summiter, someone would have to convert a Hermes bootloader to Cheetah (similar code, but different memory locations) before we can get rid of the 1.54.30.10 radio rom. Using an older bootloader like this doesn't help.

Q: Does task 2a work?
A: When tested with radio rom 1.54.30.10: No, same as hard-spl. I would've thought it would work actually, but no.

Q: How do you know this has really worked?
A: You can't flash anything other than factory roms

Q: Why would you want to load this?
A: Selling the device, sending in for warranty etc.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried your procedure but it did not restore the original SPL.:(

[awojtas]

When you ran the jump-urt program from File Explorer on the device, what happened?
- Were you prompted to "Run this program"? (You won't be if you've already removed the security requirements from the phone by unlocking it)
- Did it reboot to the tri-color bootloader screen?
- What did the IPL/SPL versions show? They should show already the 0.20/0.24 versions at this point.

Was the jump-urt program in the root of the device - not in "my documents"?

Hi,

My 750 is an unlocked 750 from the start. When I clicked the jump-urt program (all in root directory) from Explorer it started I was prompted to run jump-spl. I said yes then the I was booted to the tri-color screen. Bootloader update from the sdcard was immediatelt started after I press the red poweroff button. After the successful update still the bootloader showed olipro 1.4.
:(

Try do the same process, but leave out the SD card. This way it will stay on the bootloader screen - can you let me know what ipl/spl versions are shown?

[roydok]

Still it did not work. Still showed Olipro 1.4. :( Anyway I gave the Treo to my sister as a gift. She does not care nor understand this bootloader problem. :p

Hi, Can you please confirm something. I looked at the files in the desktopupdater.zip (voafone Australia 2.18)

CHEEIMG.nbh is ony 258KB not 81MB. However, the CHEEIMG_FW.nbh file is 81MB

Do I put both CHEEIMG.nbh and CHEEIMG_FW.nbh on the SD card? or do I rename CHEEIMG_FW.nbh to CHEEIMG.nbh and put that on the SD card?

[miloszz]

rename cheeimg_fw to cheeimg.

Finally go around to trying this. does not work for me either.

ok... but if the phone dosen't boot/start... how can i remove it?

Here's the way to remove SPL-1.40.Olinex:

1- Download the attachment from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1562747&postcount=1 and put the file JumpSPL.exe in "\My Documents" (on the Palm).

2- Download the attachment from awojtas and put the file urtspl.nb also in "\My Documents".

3- Run (from the Palm) the file JumpSPL.exe and replace 0x0000000 for 0x30080000 when asked. Then it will ask for a .nb file, select "All folders" and click on urtspl.nb and quickly press the camera button. If the device reboots, try again and be faster this time.

After this you should now see:
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20

Palm Tr
SPL-0.24.0000

Do it all again with a SD card in and whatever .nbh you want inside it and wait for flash process to finish.

That's all.

Cheers!

mabe the wrong post...but how do you UN-remove Hard SPL (aka... put it on your phone)?!
LOL

[hellketty]

is that possible for me to use this method for my panther(treo pro) since similar system configuration for both 750 & 850

[Fjtorsol]

OMG it finally does work :)

Thanks !!!

I used CHEEIMG_FW.nbh (renamed to CHEEIMG.nbh) from 2.27 ROW Updater
And this fixed the programs folder/menu lag in factory ROM :)
