Just tried Hard-SPL, but got problems!

Hi All:


I've been studying this site, and hundreds of posts, and finally got up the nerve to try to unlock my Treo today. Unfortunately, it does not seem that it worked.

I just tried Hard-SPL in order to unlock my Treo 750 Cingular (US).

I was not able to get through all three steps.

Got "Unhandled Exception Has Occurred, Continue or Quit" I continued.

After three or four tries, I was able to get to the point where a message popped up: "Congratulations! Process complete!"

Powered off Treo, inserted TMoble SIM card, and got this:
"Simlock: You have tried 3 times. Please wait until timeout"

Cannot get past this message.

What happened? What point am I at?

If I press reset and hold the bottom button on the left, the screen says:

Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
Palm Tr
SPL-0.21.0000

Can anyone help?

the hard spl did not work. you do have net compact framework 2.0 on your computer? what i did on mine was go into your c drive. there is a file that says tempche. delete that file. then run the unlocker process again from the beginning.

.net framework?

Well, well, well!

I have .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 installed.

However! I do not have .NET Compact Framework installed!

I'll try that, and let you know how I do.

Thanks!

Unbelieveable!!!

OK, this is UNfreakinBelievable!

I got it working!!!

I now have my Treo 750 SIM unlocked. And, for good measure, I had it do a CID unlock!

I used the CheetahUnlocker.exe program from Olipro. (The internal version number of the program is 1.0.0.0, dated 2007, and the internal Program Name is AthenaUnlocker.exe.)

Once I installed the .NET Compact Framework onto my PC and Treo, everything went pretty smoothly.

During Step 2 of CheetahUnlocker, (Unlock Radio) I did have to manually copy two of the files that were in the c:\tmpche on the PC: Athena_Unlock.exe and CheetahPatched.nbh to the Treo, then run Athena_Unlock on the Treo. I checked both "SIM Unlock" and "CID Unlock", and clicked "Unlock"

I did run Step 3 of CheetahUnlocker, (Flash Normal Radio), as I had read that it was important to put the "normal" radio software back in.

Once the unlock procedure was done, I powered off the Treo, removed the cover and battery, and inserted my Tmobile SIM. Once I re-installed the battery and cover, the Treo booted up, and allowed me to go right to the phone dial pad. I tried calling my home number, and it worked!!!

Then I went in and set up the MODEM settings, and tried to get on the Internet. Success!!!

And, not only do I now have phone and Internet, all of my contacts, scheduling, and notes were transferred from my old phone to the new one!

the only thing left to do is set up my email. Which I'll leave for tomorrow. Right now, I need to get to bed (it's 11:40pm), but I'm so psyched, I'll probably not sleep!

Olipro, you're the greatest!

And nuwayman, thanks for tipping me off to the part I would never have figured out on my own... the "compact" in .NET Compact Framework!!!

I know that, to many of you, this process was nothing. But, to me, it was a nerve-wracking experience, wondering if I was going to destroy my shiny "new" Treo 750 by trying to unlock it!

Thanks to all of you for your efforts in making this all possible.

YAAAAYYYYYY!

Now I can retire my Treo 600!!!!

And...figure out how to unlock my "new" Treo 650!!!
