For everyone pissed at Olipro & cmonex...Hard-SPL

[Bohn101]

Any one who has received the following error:

"Hard-SPL is for non-commercial purposes only, we have detected that you appear to already have unlocked another device, if you wish you unlock commercially, please e-mail contactchan@freemail.hu or olipro@gmail.com to discuss solutions; However if this is your first device, then please ensure that the radio is turned ON and retry"

I wanted to share my experience. I've read countless pages from the xda and ppcg forums, trying to decide whether or not to make a payment of £4.00 GBP to regain the ability to unlock my seemingly blacklisted device.

I wanted to know if making payment would work specifically for my situation which was:

New Sprint Touch Pro2 with an original SPL of 0.72 and running Windows 7.

I found a reference of a Sprint user paying and immediately being able to unlock and after getting a response from razorloves. Today I decided to make payment, not being interested in waiting a month for my open ticket to be answered.

Here were my exact steps:

1. Connected TP2 to computer.
2. Opened RhodiumW-HardSPL_V1_10R3.exe
3. Selected Flash Hard-SPL (Automatic flash)
4. Received error message about non-commercial use.
5. Selected Yes (would like to make donation)
6. Was taken to Olipro->Creations(&Unlockers); - RhodiumW Hard-SPL and selected Donate With PayPal
7. Logged into PayPal and made payment.
8. Repeated steps 1, 2, 3.
9. Continued unlock process, completed successfully.

The reason I started this thread is because I spent so much time looking for the specific answers. I agree, the developers have not been helpful to the community as of late. They should update all their posts and indicate that after the first free unlock, you are likely going to be required to make payment if you'd like a speedy unlock if your device is blacklisted.

I thought the developers deserved a little retribution.
