I'm with Spring and have Treo Pro. I always thought unlocking was impossible with Sprint phones and that only tmobile people enjoyed that.
So anyway how do i apply this CFAY 153.exe?
1) Run unlocker? hard spl by cmonex ? (Panther_CDMA (treo pro CDMA) Hard-SPL is here now! - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=84822)
2) Connect via Active Sync and run CFAY 153.exe ? and this will flash the rom on my Treo?
Also I read what a hard SPL is.. so is this a ROM for Treo which is identical to the original one except it allows its OS to be overwritten?
thanks in advance! |
This should be as streight forward as they come bro. Just make sure your battery has 50% or more power and that activesync can see your phone just fine. Download the unlocker program and run it and follow the prompts. Once you have unlocked your phone you should do a soft reset of your phone and backup everything on your phone. You will lose your contacts, text messages, and files on your phone if you dont back them up. Then download CFAY's 6.5 rom and install it. You should see activesync disconnect and your phone should have color'ed type bars on it because its loaded the bootloader. Once it has done this it will start to install and you can keep track of the percentage either on your phone or PC. Dont disconnect your usb cable for any reason, because if you disconnect mid-flash it might brick your phone. Also, im on sprint myself and it works perfectly fine with sprint. Worst case, you might have to reset the settings in the diagnostic menu, but I havent had to do that so I dont think you will either.
PS. Thanks to CFAY for these custom roms. I am using 1.52 atm and its working just fine for me. I just wish I knew where to find these programs and reg tweaks you guys talk about.
