[cmonex]

--copied from my PPCGeeks thread--

Panther_CDMA (treo pro CDMA) Hard-SPL is here now!

thanks to CFay for testing http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif


Instructions:

first, this is for CDMA treo pro (SPRINT/VERIZON/TELUS), PANT200.

steps:
0) if you have Vista or Windows 7, make sure you have latest WMDC.
1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty local folder.
2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!
3) run PANTHER_CDMA_HSPL exe from the folder
4) follow steps in the program!
5) it should go to tricolour screen now, i.e. SSPL mode, and show 0.32.SSPL. now follow steps in the RUU that's launched by now.
6) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done. if you get any errors, follow the instructions offered by the program.
7) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 0.36.CMONEX.


NOTE: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot!
to enter bootloader mode to see version: with the device turned on, press and hold the Camera button along with the Power button, then press the reset button with the stylus tip, then release the Camera and Power buttons when bootloader tricolour screen appears.

NOTE 2: anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically or problems with USB connection after SSPL was loaded, please copy SSPL-Manual-PantherCDMA.exe from the SSPLManual.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is in SSPL, run CustomRUU on the PC, and flash HardSPL NBH from attachment.

NOTE 3: this is unsigned Hard-SPL. no limitations on flashing ROMs. also, this has overwrite protection, if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, a stock SPL downgrade package will soon be posted.

NOTE 4: do not use this RUU to flash anything else! this is only intended for flashing the HardSPL.

Troubleshooting tips:

- read the instructions

- if you have USB issues:
1. anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically or problems with USB connection after SSPL was loaded, please copy SSPL-Manual-PantherCDMA.exe from the SSPLManual.zip attachment to the device and run it (make sure USB is plugged in). then once the screen is in SSPL, run RUU manually. i.e. you run the RUU on the PC, if it isn't obvious.
2. if it still has connection error in SSPL screen, try unplugging and replugging the USB
3. try different USB port, PC, etc.
4. when there are sync issues, the program also suggests installing this file on the phone: http://hpcmonex.net/roms/enablerapinew.cab (http://hpcmonex.net/roms/enablerapinew.cab), just making a note here too.
4. it's been verified that you can flash HardSPL from SD in SSPL, see instructions below.

Updates:

HardSPL NBH file is now downloadable from 1st post! you can flash this from SD now; rename this NBH to PANTIMG.NBH, put it on a fat32 formatted SD, and then run SSPL-Manual-PantherCDMA.exe on the phone.

steps for stock SPL restore:

0. only use this for warranty service! for no other purpose!!! also before flashing this, make sure you already have stock ROM flashed.
1. download Stock_SPL_Restore_036.zip attachment from 1st post, extract it.
2. get customRUU and flash this file. can also do SD flash (PANTIMG.NBH).

thanks cmonex,
Your hard-spl works fine on my treo pro.

After replacing original hspl with yours, immediately i just try to flash a new custom rom into my treo pro, but this time failed, ether usb-way or storage-way.

Then after a big searching job, finally i found a treo pro kitchen which can given custom rom automatically, also this custom rom could be write into treo pro,

Things goes pretty sweet till now, BUT, BUT, BUT.......................


After rom writing job finish, treo pro restart, system is stopped at splash screen, i am jammed!:eek:

Later i find out that damned kitchen is only used for producing 'panther200' roms:eek:

and my treo pro tri-color screen is displaying 'panther100', does this mean that kitchen is used for any other treo pro? for example, sprint, cdma?


right now only one thing i am pretty sure-----my treo pro is poisoned!:mad:


once again, please, cmonex, any ideas for solve this problem?
online waitting!

yea, panther 100 is GSM afaik... but this thread is CDMA hardspl. :) or do you mean you flashed the GSM hardspl I released in another thread? (it would be 0.59.CMONEX)
the problem is really just that you need to flash a GSM panther rom, so just flash the shipped RUU for *GSM* treo pro.

thanks cmonex,
my hp is GSM device, sorry for posting problem on this CDMA thread,
problems fixed!

yes, after hspl hacking, it displays 0.59.CMONEX on my treo pro tri-color screen,

The reason for failed loading GSM rom to treo pro is because of wrong format of my TF card, previously i was using TF card for U drive with WINPE system, and i think i messed up with memory format since that moment.

So right now one thing is clear, windows default format function won't help, i mean after windows formatting, TF card properties shows FAT32, but still something wrong with it.

Later on i found an app called [usboot] can doing the proper formatting job, then everything goes fine.

currently i am back on track & WWE 6.1 custom rom works fine, thank you very much for your kindly help!
