Is there any way for super cid

Hard SPL 1.15 is a MFG SPL with more commands (u should use this)
Hard SPL 1.16 is a Normal SPL modified to flash all rom's

No Sim Unlock and no Super Cid!

Thanks for the response. I had incidentally installed 1.16 because first I think higher version is better, so can I downgrade to 1.15? If yes, can you share how to do that. And is there any way to be superCID?

You should read the 1st post to know what to do for install 1.15, and yes u can do it with 1.16 already installed.

About super cid and all the related stuff, soon there will be more news... You must wait...

Hi I have some troubles flashing.
A bit of a newbie but this should work... :(

As the instructions, i did the following:

- REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
- connect usb cable
- copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it
- after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display - OK
- usb cable release/plugin
I used ROMUpdateUtility.exe to load rom hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh (it was done in 10 sec. should not be normal?)
phone reboots.

UPDATE:

- REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
- connect usb cable
- copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it
- after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display - OK
- usb cable release/plugin
TOM_Niki-Project_WM6.1_WWE_16keys_signed_Ship.exe gives a connection errror 202.

I booted the phone and hold the power and camera button for the bootloader
- unplug and replug the usb cable - USB -> serial -> USB -OK
(the bootloader now sais NIKI 100 SPL-1.15.Hard CPLD-4)
TOM_Niki-Project_WM6.1_WWE_16keys_signed_Ship.exe gives a connection errror 202.

reboot to windows mobile
sspl-1.16-nike.exe sais NIKI 100 SPL-1.16.jump CPLD-4)
TOM_Niki-Project_WM6.1_WWE_16keys_signed_Ship.exe gives a connection errror 202.

This problem is well known and covered to the bone...
Nonetheless, I will help you.

Unpack the exe (in you have winrar installed) like this:
rightclick on the exe and click extract (or something with a similar meaning).

Succes!

Hello, I used this method and i flashed to this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379827

The problem is, when the PDA start up, he asks me a code to unlock it, so my PDA isn't unlocked...

how can I unlock it?

thank you

:eek::eek::eek:

NO, NO, NO, and NO. You should learn what is SSPL,USPL and HardSPL and what is the all idea of it.

You should also learn what is OS rom and Radio rom.

So you should read a lot before posting this kind of questions...

Thanks for replying Padillha. Could you like guide me on which one I should read? I'm totally lost :(

I know the OS ROM is the WM5, WM6 etc...

The Radio ROM is for the antenna, GSM or watever radio device inside the phone.

The SPLs... I have totally no idea and I'm having trouble finding information about them.

I just wanted to convert this Chinese touch dual to English. Been reading the threads but I'm really lost on where to start. :(

any help will be really really appreciated. Thanks!

Padilha
14th April 2008, 06:20 PM
It is in chinese because it is a chinese OS rom.
You must flash a new OS ROM.

But 1st you need to install hardspl, to do so just follow the steps on 1st post of this thread. (If u have a niki model...)

Hi guys. Thank you for your great work.

I still have a question

8. you can now flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki

That means that I replace the nbh file that already resides in the "flash-uspl-niki" directory with the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh ?
And then run the ROMUPdateUtility?

thanks

The attached SSPL, USPL and HardSPL are based on the Nike shipped SPL v1.16
EDIT: HardSPL v.1.15 (MFG - manufacturing) with rtask support now added. I highly recommend to install this version !!!

1. download the attached files
2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
3. connect usb cable
4. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)
5. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display
6. unplug and replug the usb cable
(OPTIONAL, better to skip it! step 7. if you only want to test the sspl try flashing the attached splash screen by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-splash-niki)
8. you can now flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki
9. after installing the hardspl you can flash any rom (rom cook project here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355397))

Note:
The USPL is not a "HardSPL" which means it gets overwritten when you flash a full ROM. You have to run the SSPL if you want to flash any ROM again.
The HardSPL is never overwritten which in case of flashing trouble is a great insurance. Should you want to flash another SPL or USPL you must run the SSPL.

Important:
Use at your own risk! I'm not responsible for any damage to your device caused by using the attached files.

Any donation amount is greatly appreciated :)

Hi kabayan, you don't really need to know what those acronyms mean.. they may not even be acronyms but rather just variable names that doesn't really mean anything understandable. :D

As long as you follow the instructions (by the letter) on the first post, you should be ok on uprading your ROM.

Hi Bro! Still using "Tom_codon's Niki Project ROM"? I just got a touch dual from Airfagev and I plan to update the ROM. how was it? any suggestion? salamat!

Hi everyone, everything looks good, until point 8.

8. you can now flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki.

I can see percentage-bar on mobil. ROMUpdateUtility write, that it will take about 10minutes to flash it. But it ends in half minute and I can't recognize if flashing was success or not. After that my phone booting to WM, where I must do "first initilazion" (~touching little cross on different places on screen, time and place settings, instalation some HTC packages, ...). After that everything looks like before flash.

When I try flash WM61 ROM from tom_codon, I get Error 202.

Great thanks for every advice,
Iceek.

Hi,

I've been trying to flash the Niki project ROM to my T-Mobile Touch Dual. But can't seem to make it work. I've followed these instructions, but the USB connection seems to be an issue:

1. download the attached files
2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
3. connect usb cable
4. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)
5. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display
6. unplug and replug the usb cable

At this point WMDC doesn't connect to my device anymore (I've also tried this on an XP/Activesync machine with same problem).

My bootloader screen shows: SPL-1.16.Jump.

Only way to restart Dual is to unplug, remove battery and restart (I get the smart mobility 'not for sale' splash screen). WMDC will then detect handset, but when I try to flash a ROM I lose the connection when the update begins...

Any help much appreciated!

I want to upgrade my Orange UK touch dual to the Niki project but really need a point by point list of what to do.

Still unclear and appreciate this is basic stuff for you guys. I am trying to update my touch dual to the Niki project. I am stuck at getting the Nike SSPL USPL HardSPLL to work through my lak of understanding. I follow the basic instructions:
1. download the attached files
2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
3. connect usb cable
4. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)
5. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display
6. unplug and replug the usb cable

I get to point 5 and onscreen of the phone I get a few coloured bars and USB at end which I guess is what it means. I then go to 8:
8. you can now flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki
this cannot work as I have no Actvesync connection so I reset the phone and get activesync running.
I then run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki (I assume this is the right one as there seems to be a few flavours included)?
I get no option at this point to load hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh - it just wants to update my ROM down to version 1.00.000.0. through the PDAPhone Rom update utility 1.31.61.10

PLease help I am obviously missing something.

Further info - none of the non MS programs run, nothing happens some report not trusted certificate, I therefore did a hard reset, and all seems okay. As I have only rmanaged to un sspl-1.16-nike.exe what has this actually done.
Any additional advice on saving original ROM and ways of reversing if I get a problem would be much appreciated.

Thanks

THanks for that and yes it was a school boy error, though I had tried so many things I had forgotten that.
THe issue now is that one you run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki
I get the various splash screens on my PC, click next each time until I get to the point where it says it will take 10 mins HOWEVER at no point does it ask me or give me an option to select the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh where does this come up, perhaps its after the final warning, I have'nt yet gone that far, I expected it to allow a dialog alongside the ROM version it displays that you want to upgrade to OR perhaps the new ROM should sit in a specified directory.
Appreciate any assistance.

7.) flash the renamed uspl-1.16-nike.nbh with ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki
8.) ran the sspl-1.16-nike.exe on the Niki again
8.) and install the WWE ASIA rom afterwards.


It was the 3. part.
Its somewhat odd, that I cant chose among the .nbh files, in ROMUpdateUtility's folder.
And need to remove/rename the files not in use.

I managed to flash rom's fine but was not getting 1.15 but instead 1.16.hard

So after reading previous post about renaming im sorted now

I'm still a bit confused which files i need to flash my touch dual.
Do i just need:
sspl-1.16-nike.zip (for on the device)
hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.zip (to run from my pc)

Also, what if i want to restore my original SPL how can i return it?
And a last question: if i flash it this way i can flash every rom i want, so i dont have to flash the SPL everytime before i want a new rom?

Sorry for all the questions, i'm just a bit afraid that i will ruin my brand new device ;)

I followed the steps in post 1 and everything went fine i believe

When i enter the 3 color screen is now has the following information:

Niki200
SPL-1.16.Hard
CPLD-4

So, did everything go well ?
Just want to be sure and wat about the hardspl-1.15mfg-niki.nbh

I only run the RomupdateUtility inside the flash-hardspl-niki.zip.
How do i flash the 1.15mfg one?

You will have to disable the password on your phone.
This makes it simpler.
Keep the phone connected with activesync.
Read the first post very carefully and go step by step.

I did it and i'm also new to flashing phones. So it is not that hard

Hi
I have a Niki on T-mobile which I am trying to unlock.

Here are the stages I am going through and what happens.

1. download the attached files - all done fine( located them in their own folders
2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!OK
3. connect usb cableOK
4. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)OK
5. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display OK
6. unplug and replug the usb cable OK
(OPTIONAL, better to skip it! step 7. if you only want to test the sspl try flashing the attached splash screen by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-splash-niki)Done this and get the "Not for resale screen"
8. you can now flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki. I load the Romupdateutility on my PC, agree to the terms and conditions, accept that my device meets the 4 criteria sets and then select image to update - it details a version 1.00.00 version ? Is this correct? The upgrade goes straight to 100% and then phone reboots and is back to standard "out of the box image" so have to set screen up etc
9. after installing the hardspl you can flash any rom (rom cook project here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355397))

What am I doing wrong , any help appreciated

If I want to install another ROM, do I need to repeat the entire process?

No, with HardSPL installed, you can flash whenever you want.

Hi,

I have done everything perfect up till step 6: unplug and replug USB cable, when i try to do step 8, run ROMupdateUtility, not only the update firmware shows version 1.00 and it only took my few sec to complete the update. after the unit restart, it' goes bak to the original WM OS,
I run the sspl-1.16-nike again, the same tricolor screen shows up, and display

NIKI100
SPL-1.16.Jump
CPLD-4

does this mean i fail to install the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike?

or i can already flash new roms??

PLEASE HELP

hi,

that means u did the 1.16 update not the 1.15 one...

kerrance76
20th June 2008, 04:53 PM
as i said last time it is because you have run the sspl again. you run sspl 1.16 it shows spl 1.16 .
once you have run the rom update with the hard spl thats it job done. running sspl again will overrite it
if you want a different os you need to install the hardspl then you need to find your new rom and run the rom update again to install the new rom.

30th June 2008, 04:02 PM
8. you can now flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki
9. after installing the hardspl you can flash any rom

Note:
The USPL is not a "HardSPL" which means it gets overwritten when you flash a full ROM. You have to run the SSPL if you want to flash any ROM again.
The HardSPL is never overwritten which in case of flashing trouble is a great insurance. Should you want to flash another SPL or USPL you must run the SSPL.


is the ROMUpdateUtility.exe inside the folder flash-uspl-niki a USPL or HardSPL?
do i have to run any other files attached after step 8 to make it HardSPL?
there are alot of attached files. kinda lost.. hehe

Update: i ran the flash-hardspl-niki and looks fine now :D though i wished my phone was not hard reset... :(
i know this question was posted before but couldn't find it. how do i know if my hardSPL was successfully installed?

if you already have version 1 on there, you probably have the hard spl on your phone. if so, just proceed and flash the new beniki rom.

Hello,

I tried to follow the instructions but I can't get far.

After I have connected the USB cable I start the sspl-1.16-nike.exe from my touch dual (USB cable connected). The screen with the 3 colors appears shortly but no USB massage. After that the screen changes to the white screen saying "loading ..." After that nothing else happens and I have to do a reboot to come back.

I tried this both on a Vista System with the mobile center installed and on a XP Media Center Ed. 2005 with ActiveSync 4.5 installed. Any time the same behavior. Any advice how to go on?

Any comment is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
Finally problem is solved. I forgot to remove SD Card. After that I managed to update with XP Media Center.

my problem is that: the imageinformation doesnt show anything http://c.imagehost.org/view/0497/nothing.png and ROMUpdateUtility.exe doesnt actually update/flash anything, the flashproccess only takesabout 1-2 seconds.

and right after the hardreste/softreset/whatever im not able to enter the bootloader

btw: after I unplug the usb and plug it in again, i lose the activesyncconnection
(but this might be irrelevant, isnt it?)

so after a while a "new installation" of the ROM start again and i have to reinstall all...*sigh*

which are the correct steps if i wanna flash for example a new radio or another tool without reinstalling again the ROM from the begining?

i hope my english is not bad and you understdand what i mean!
I mean:

1) first time i used first "sspl-1.16-nike.exe" and then "hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh" and all went
ok and flashed the new ROM.
2) now if i want to install for example a new Radio or a new tool again i have to do the same at 1)? or what?
3) which is the ok state of the bootloader if i wanna flash something else:
- SPL-1.16.0000 (this is sim locked)
- SPL-1.16.jump (this is sim unlocked)
- SPL-1.16.hard...and this???

Hello to everyone,

First tks for all the effort to free this World from the Operator Despote ;)

Ok so I started the first steps for Nike upgrading BUT soon face some problems:

files flash-hardspl-niki, flash-splash-niki, flash-uspl-niki

Are all the same weight of 600 ko and when I try to decomp. them an error message says: compressed file not valid or corrupted.

So no way to go on with the process...

Thank you for your support,

WF :confused:

Blackwalker - you have flash USPL, and it has deleted after another flashing. There is no nothing strange. You just need to flash HARDSPL :)
(I mean you must use flash-hardspl-niki for flashing. And don't forget put hardspl.115mfg to this folder. And don't forget check if there any other .nbh files)

WorldFreedom - Try download it again, i don't have any error with it

WorldFreedom - Try download it again, i don't have any error with it

ok!

i make this:
4. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)
5. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display
6. unplug and replug the usb cable
(OPTIONAL, better to skip it! step 7. if you only want to test the sspl try flashing the attached splash screen by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-splash-niki)
8. you can now flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki
9. after installing the hardspl you can flash any rom (rom cook project here)

i'm confused, sorry!

i dont used "USPL" but, like quoted just here, i used first "sspl-1.16-nike.exe"
and then "hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh".
I thought that after this, i dont need to do the same again, i mean
i thought to flash "hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh" only one time and that
the flahed ROM wont delete it!

Ho well, so now if i want to flash again, for example another RADIO,ROM or BOOT SCREEN, i have to flash only [hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh] or
[sspl-1.16-nike.exe and hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh]?

and..

what mean this state on bootloader screen?

- SPL-1.16.0000 (this is sim locked?)
- SPL-1.16.jump (this is sim unlocked?)
- SPL-1.16.hard...(i'm ready to flash anything?)

thx for your time and sorry if i still dont understand the
correct procedure...my english suck :D

blackwalker - there is 02:01 o'clock in my city, i wanna sleep and i absolutely don't understand what u saying :p

Just tell you that if you want flash hard spl, u need to:
1)Clear flash-hard-spl directory from another .nbh file
2)Put hardspl (1.15mfg for example) to flash-hard-spl directory
3)Execute sspl-1.16-nike.exe from u device
4)Flash the hardspl

That's was steps i have done, and now my phone have hard 1.15mfg spl

P.S. I think flash guide have some mistakes, because when i flash it for a first time, i got same problem :)

as i described before (ok my english is not so good but i
think its not so difficult to understand what i mean ;) )
i do what you write, the first time and i succesfully
flashed my first ROM.

Then i try to flash the bootscren image, and when i do it,
the device started again like the first time, i mean i had to
configure again wm6.1 like when you install it for the first time.

Anyway, my question i simple:

now if i want to flash again, for example another RADIO,ROM or BOOT SCREEN, i have to flash only [hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh] or
[sspl-1.16-nike.exe and yjem hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh]?

1)Download the attached files

2)Delete .nbh file from "flash-hardspl-niki" directory.

3)Put one of hardspl to "flash-hardspl-niki" directory.
(Hardspl-1.16-nike or Hardspl-1.15mfg-nike)

4)REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!

5)Connect usb cable

6)Copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be

Hello,

but restoring default Nike SSPL sspl-1.16-nike.zip shouldn't remove all additional screen at boot? After I've restored this I got the SmartMobility with banner "not for sale" (that is not suitable to send phone to assistance) and then "HelloNasty" screenshot from a previous ROM... is there any way to solve this issues?

Up till here i have absolutely no problems, after this i connect the usb cable to my computer again running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki. However thats where i dont understand the instruction about:

"now flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh" by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki

because i can only run ROMupdateUtility.exe and follow the instructions, i do as it tells me that its going to update my rom and then with in seconds its 100% complete. I know that i am missing a step and even though i have tried to the best of my abilities i have been unable to understand how to flash the hardslpl-1.15 mfg-nike.nbh i simply dont know wt that means.

If someone can make me understand i would love to donate money to this site because i see that ppl over here are really helpful. Thanks:confused::confused::mad:

Hello.
I'm very new in this, so I have some doubts.
I had a problem with 6th step. I unpluged and repluged but the activesync nevermore conected with device.
In the 8th step where do we have to put the file hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh. In the device, in some folder in the PC?

Thank you for you patience.



The attached SSPL, USPL and HardSPL are based on the Nike shipped SPL v1.16
EDIT: HardSPL v.1.15 (MFG - manufacturing) with rtask support now added. I highly recommend to install this version !!!

1. download the attached files
2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
3. connect usb cable
4. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)
5. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display
6. unplug and replug the usb cable
(OPTIONAL, better to skip it! step 7. if you only want to test the sspl try flashing the attached splash screen by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-splash-niki)
8. you can now flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki
9. after installing the hardspl you can flash any rom (rom cook project here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355397))

Note:
The USPL is not a "HardSPL" which means it gets overwritten when you flash a full ROM. You have to run the SSPL if you want to flash any ROM again.
The HardSPL is never overwritten which in case of flashing trouble is a great insurance. Should you want to flash another SPL or USPL you must run the SSPL.

Important:
Use at your own risk! I'm not responsible for any damage to your device caused by using the attached files.

el_boda - There is no problem, in Bootloader mode ActiveSync can't synch with device. Just replug cabel and start flashing

In 8 step you need put this file to flash folder.
uspl means it will be deleted after fullrom flashing
hardspl - it will never deleted by rom flashing

I think we need a new USPL or HardSPL as the new official WM61 ROM comes with spl 1.22.000. Using the new SPL, the WM61 ROM performs much better. At least that's what i noticed.

Yep it comes with the new wm6.1 niki rom from htc.

I really would like to give it a try...but i'm quiet sure that once spl 1.16 will be back, I won't be able to flash the upgrade again because of the CID (my dual is from Orange France).

There's a lot of people who have not been able to flash the upgraded rom without HardSpl 1.15 MFG, so I don't know...

EDIT:

Found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2774344&postcount=13 so Uspl is all what we need to try spl 1.22!

Just waiting for people to confirm that spl 1.22 is really faster, and that it is not a subjective feeling. Sorry not being able to take risk this time for testing myself, but my dual contain so much things it is really a pain to reinstall all.

Hi guys here is a hard spl based on 1.22. My device was SuperCID and security unlocked when I used this so I do not use this at the moment if your device is not SuperCID. I have only tested this on a NIKI100 device.

Sorry about the lack of details but thought you guys would like this as soon as possible and I'm late for work.

Follow the instruction from the first post of this thread but use the attached zip file instead.

Thanks goes to Pof, Des, olipro, jockywoo and viperdjk who have provided the information to make this hardspl possible.
Also thanks to Midget_1990 for his work on the custom RUU ROM updater.

This hardspl is based upon the changes made to the 1.16 shipped spl to make it a hard spl and so I really didn't discover any work, I just ported the changes.



Anyway I better go - only flash this if you know what your doing.

I'm am not responsible for you guys bricking your devices

Thanks a lot for the HardSPL, it works very good with NIKI300 aka XDA Star. We schould Link that to Page 1 and delete that "experimental" Flag

----

One more thing for everybody who has a bricked device, e.g a solution if SPL or radio patching went wrong somehow...

If you have the three colored bootscreen and see that SPL is still the original 1.15,1.16 or 1.22 ( spl patch didn´t work ) - You can get your device back to life:

1) Deny Active Sync USB Connection in Active Sync Settings
2) Download MTTY 1.42
3) Connect MTTY 1.42 with USB (button to the right)
4) Press "Enter" 2 Times
5) type: "boot" without quotes and press the enter button again.

Voila, if there is still some kind of WM on your device, it will boot !

Hey guys,

Thanks for verifying the hardspl works for you guys too.

I have removed the experimental parts from the filename and I think this hardspl could be put on the first post of this thread if it helps people.

I was wondering if people who use the 1.22 hardspl could post saying if they feel the 1.22 spl has changed the performance of their nike in anyway (for better or for worse).

I am also looking at how wifi works in the spl and eventually in the radio.

Is the niki wifi team still active? Could any of you give me any pointers to prevent any duplicated work.

I know from comparing the nike spl to other MSM7200 spl's that the code used to load wifi firmware is missing in the nike spl. I'm going to work on porting the wifi loading code into the niki 1.22 spl. I guess the wifi still needs to be enabled in the Radio and the OS will need wifi drivers. I don't even know if there is any wifi firmware at 0x50100000 on niki devices.

I am also looking at how wifi works in the spl and eventually in the radio.

Is the niki wifi team still active? Could any of you give me any pointers to prevent any duplicated work.

Can someone explain me the advantage of 1.22 compared to the hard spl 1.5 mfg?

Im not sure if I should change? I hope, with this I could be able to flash radio ROM 1.71.

Hey guys,

Thanks for verifying the hardspl works for you guys too.

I have removed the experimental parts from the filename and I think this hardspl could be put on the first post of this thread if it helps people.

I was wondering if people who use the 1.22 hardspl could post saying if they feel the 1.22 spl has changed the performance of their nike in anyway (for better or for worse).

I am also looking at how wifi works in the spl and eventually in the radio.

Thanks for your excellent work! ;)

Flashed and tested on my NIKI100, no need to have SuperCID and security unlock(worked on an Portuguese TMN branded NIKI).

So far it´s great, a little faster than 1.15 Hard...

Thanks

Not noticed any, in fact I'd say it's the opposite - I find that I'm recharging less. Whether that's ROM, radio, SPL or a combination I'm not sure

It used to drain really fast with wm6 and orange UK rom

I must say, I'm not noticing any major difference with HardSPL 1.22. (the SPL was the only thing I changed)

Battery life is still good - definitely not worse than before, but hard to say if it's better - I've never managed to flatten mine in recent times anyway.

Boot time is also hard to pick, as I'm still using a custom super-lite rom which booted damn fast anyway.

Haven't changed radio recently - still on 1.65.29.

My verdict: No enourmous pressure to upgrade to SPL1.22, but it certainly won't hurt anything. If you're coming from a stock rom you'll notice far bigger improvements by upgrading to the right Radio and a suitable custom ROM than you will from just the SPL.

I think the biggest battery life savings I had recently were when I upgraded to radio 1.65.29 (oddly - 1.71 won't flash on my device - consistently suffers a communication error - but anyway).

Ok, this may sound really stupid but i have to ask .....

I flashed the 1.22 HARD SPL this weekend and ever since I did that, I've noticed that my alarm does not work properly. I'm using the normal WM6.1 alarm, no special software.

What I've noticed is that the alarm will ring once as expected but when I snooze it, all subsequent alarms only vibrate with no audible! This only happens with certain rings, not all of them. Very strange symptom.

The only thing I've changed on the phone is the HARD SPL.

Can someone test the snooze on theirs? I'm using the LILY ROM (see my signature).

The attached SSPL, USPL and HardSPL are based on the Nike shipped SPL v1.16
EDIT: HardSPL v.1.15 (MFG - manufacturing) with rtask support now added. I highly recommend to install this version !!!

1. download the attached files
2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
3. connect usb cable
4. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)
5. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display
6. unplug and replug the usb cable
(OPTIONAL, better to skip it! step 7. if you only want to test the sspl try flashing the attached splash screen by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-splash-niki)
8. you can now flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki
9. after installing the hardspl you can flash any rom (rom cook project here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355397))

Note:
The USPL is not a "HardSPL" which means it gets overwritten when you flash a full ROM. You have to run the SSPL if you want to flash any ROM again.
The HardSPL is never overwritten which in case of flashing trouble is a great insurance. Should you want to flash another SPL or USPL you must run the SSPL.

Important:
Use at your own risk! I'm not responsible for any damage to your device caused by using the attached files.

I have tried upgrading to WM6.1 - on 2 Onage branded phones - I first used SSPL 1.16 Nike - and was then able to run the update on the first phone. The 2nd phone reset at about 9% and I get the boot loader screen.
Its showing RUUNBH
then NIKI100
SPL-1.16.0000
CPLD-4
I have tried running flash-hardspl-niki but it just does nothing - and running the upgrade for WM6.1 gets to 1% and then resets to the bootloader - I think because it cannot upgrade an unofficial Orange Rom without SSPL.

I am under the impression I need an official Orange UK Rom to get back to where I started - anyone have it available or is there another way to get this fixed?

EDIT: sorted it - got an Orange UK Rom and back to life again!

Hi guys,
Here's what I did (something very stupid) and what happened :

I have a NIKI100 which has simlock and HAD a vodafone dutch splash screen with original rom and radio.

I followed the instructions and managed to flash a new rom with
RUU_Nike_HTC_NLD_2.09.404.1_Radio_NikeMR_1.65.28.2 5_signed_Ship.exe

I still had SIMlock so I started over the procedure with Niki-SuperCID
Here I made the STUPID mistake to hardspl while I FORGOT to SSPL first!
so this is what happened next: rom update halted at 95% I got error and began
recovery. (1) Ever after this I get ERROR[262] whatever I try and update halts at 0%.
I tried to flash the ROM again but then I get error [294]:INVALID VENDER ID

everytime I reset the phone I get red-green-blue screen :

NIKI100
SPL-1.22.0000

Ok! Excuse me as "newbie".

I downloaded all the files attached to a folder. Follow steps 1 through 6. After finishing the stage 6, I tried to install this ROM "RUU_Nike_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.1_Radio_NikeMR_1.65.28.2 5_signed_Ship.exe."

Before this file is just 1%. After the last attempt, managed to reach the 15% but gave error.

I tried "ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki". Do not start.

How can I relive my Nike?

My htc touch dual was previously locked with telstra until i did the hard reset (hold green and red + reset button) and now it works fine, but it is laggy due to all that extra crap like those applications the service provider puts on. i was doing this rom update (to get rid of the extra stuff) and it was working fine until the last part where it said my device was incompatible with the update. I'm not sure why this is because i have met all the prereq's for it.

I am now using an optus simcard with it

If you want to upgrade to official ROM, then the process of HardSpl is not necessary.

What HardSPL does is create a 'permanent' form of SPL on the phone (hence Hard SPL), and is there so that no programs will overwrite it. This is installed as insurance if you flash the phone a lot, or want to use non official ROMs.

An alternative upgrade is SSPL (SoftSPL). This will update the SPL to whichever one you want, but it can be overwritten by another SSPL or HardSPL routine. Newer (or older) SSPL just needs to be flashed as required.

If you want to overwrite HardSPL, you need to use USPL first, followed by new HardSPL or SSPL. The latter is done in cases where you need to return the phone for warranty purposes etc.

Once HardSPL or SSPL in installed, you can flash your phone multiple times without needing to reflash the SPL with HardSPK or SoftSPL if the ROM you are using is compatible with this version.

SPL-1.15.Hard
CPLD-4

Is it ok ? Can upgrade my device with any roms ?
Thanks

You'll need HardSPL 1.22 if you want to use ROMS with radios greater than 1.64. This includes the latest official ROMS released by HTC. Hard 1.15 is good for the older ROMs, including the custom ROMs of Tom_Codon and Hello_Nasty.

Consider USPL and then Hard1.22 if you want to use the latest HTC ROMS or cooked ROMS.

Hi all, 1st post.

I am a complete novice re unlocking phones let alone some of the other techie stuff that I have been reading all day yesterday.

Detail of my situation to avoid confusion:
I received an htc Touch Dual about a month ago, as a replacement for a different faulty phone. Just getting used to it, when my contract ended and due to watching pennies and not happy with Orange, I decided to get a PAYG sim. Doing this to work out just how much I can save compared to lengthy contrats.

Anyway, I have searched and read more posts than is healthy to no avail. Therefore I throw myself at your mercy please?

I have tried to follow the unlocking instructions but my phone sticks at the 'usb' screen, and I can't access it further. Keep having to take the battery out to turn it off too. Everything works still, even TomTom. But will not allow new sim.

Please please could someone take a few minutes to gently talk me through the process.

In anticipation
Thanks
PS
I have a few E-Bay items ending this weekend, so will be able to donate when funds clear.
PPS
Apologies if this is in the wrong place.
Got to sleep now, as I am all htc's out.

This implies the phone is SIM locked.

You'll need to unlock the phone. Follow the first post of this thread:

Do be aware, There are several variants of the Touch, and you need to know which one you have. This is available from Settings>Device Information>Identity. The Model Number will give the info.

I can see light at the end of the tunnel now, thanks.

Right, I get to action 6. and my phone screen is red, green, blue, whote with SPL-1.16.Jump displayed.
I skipped step 7 as suggested.
I unzip "flash-splash-niki" and run "ROMUpdateUtility.exe".

Nothing happens.

My phone does not show in 'My Computer', and Actve Sync can't see it either.

By the way, I dowm=nloaded the zips to a folder on my PC desktop, and onaly copied the "sspl-1.16-nike.exe " to my phone, is that correct?

I really do appreciate this, as I have the day off, and want to use it well (alternative is dreaded housework.



6. unplug and replug the usb cable
(OPTIONAL, better to skip it! step 7. if you only want to test the sspl try flashing the attached splash screen by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-splash-niki)
8. you can now flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki
9. after installing the hardspl you can flash any rom (rom cook project here)

So, phone is in bootloader mode and ready to accept ROMs. It should also say USB on the phone screen.
I unzip "flash-splash-niki" and run "ROMUpdateUtility.exe"
Wrong file used - that is a test file to change the splash screen and to test that a ROM can be flashed. This step can be skipped. You need to download HardSPL 1.16 or HardSPL 1.22.

I am beginning to think that I am out of my depth tbh rling. I do appreciate your help, but having tried to follow some of the instructions am in a bit of a tizz now. I now have so many zip files on my desktop too, and 2 new folders that I created plus the original Active Sync folder!!

The ROM Update Utility encountered an ERROR even though the progress meter did appear on the phone, but froze.

If you really do think that I can be 'walked through' the process, then I would give it one more try, but otherwise, i would appreciate it if you wouldn't mind recommending someone who would be able to do it for me? It's a pity that no-one lives in the Southampton area on here or that you don't offer an over the phone service.

As I said, I am probably out of my depth, but at least have a better appreciation of the expertise that you guys have.

Look forward to your views and comments Andrew

I am assuming that you have installed SSPL 1.16. Reading your posts above, it has been done already. All you need to do now is to flash the new HardSPL to the phone.

1. Download the attached file from this link for Hard SPL 1.15 Mfg for unlocking, you'll need the following 2 files:

Flash-Hardspl-Nike.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=64073&d=1199289995)

HardSPL-1.15Mfg-Nike.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=73353&d=1204286404)

You need the first file, as the HardSPL 1.15 file only has the nbh - the package to be flashed.

2. Unpack Flash-HardSPL-Niki.zip first into a folder of your choice

3. Delete the file HardSPL-1.16-nike.nbh from here.

4. Unpack HardSPL-1.15Mfg-Nike.zip into the same folder. This is then ready to flash HardSPL 1.15.

Running ROMupdateutility will flash the {whatever}.nbh file in the folder to your phone.

5. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!

6. connect usb cable, and make sure Activesync connects to phone.

7. Run ROMupdateutility.exe on the PC. This should start the flash procedure.

8. Once it reach the end, the phone will have HardSPL installed. Yippee!


You can proceed to unlocking the phone.

If you want to update to a new HardSPL, eg HardSPL 1.22, you will need to flash USPL 1.16 first, followed by a new HardSPL.

Link for USPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=63905&d=1199211370

Once HardSPL is flashed, and working, then you can flash new ROMs, including custom built ones, if you want.

hi every 1 ... hope u all well and healthy...
here is my situation:
i have an HTC Touch Dual and some how i damaged the ROM or the some thing else and all i have is the tri-color screen nothing else and my phone is locked so i was advised to install the Hardspl 1.15 and that what brought me to here on this thread and i did understand the 9 steps but the problem is that i can not copy the sspl-1.16-nike.exe to the phone (i have tri-color screen) and i tried the flash-uspl-niki.zip and the flash-hardspl.zip after unzipping them but both of them stop responding on 0% and with connection error and start's the recovery system...

all i want is to unlock the phone and install the WM 6.1 ROM that i downloaded from the HTC official site.

what should i do ...
please help me i have no where else to go or any one to ask about this.

Best Regards.

From your other thread. Flash the ROM that your carrier uses, and then start again. The phone is locked to all ROMs except those from your carrier.

rling, thanks again for taking the time to reply.

From the begining this is my situation. I'll take it one step at a time, as I am pretty sure that I know where the sticking point now is.

I copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe onto my device, a simple copy and paste from it downloading to my PC desktop. When I 'explore' the device in ActveSync, it appears as a kermit the frog icon, but when I use 'file explorere on the device, it just appears as a teh exe file. I think this is all fine?

When I activate the .exe file using my touchscreen, it turns to the tricolour (usb) display. I unplug and reconnect the USB cable.

This is where I think the problem lies. Apart from a 'ding' on the PC, the device is invisible, both with ActiveSync and in My Computer. If I can not see the device I think that the RomUpdate Utility probably can't communicate either, hence the error message.

It's been a long weekend my friend, thanks for you patience.

Andy

Are you sure that you don't do an over the phone idiots guide? ;)

Correct

Correct again. If this happens, you can disconnect the USB cable from your computer and reconnect (at the computer end, and not your phone end). If it still fails, reboot the computer.

This 3 colour screen, with USB at bottom is the standard bootloader for the phone. All ROM updates will drop it into this screen to allow flashing of new ROMs, radios, SPL etc. You are doing everything right, except that the PC will not disconnect and reconnect the USB and probable still waiting for the old connection to be reestablished.

Woohoo! One more nike device free from the Orange stranglehld. Thank you so very much.

I really was at a loss, but your continued support gave me the confidence to persevere. I have actually learnt quite a bit too, enough to have whetted my techno appetite. I am going to have a look at some of the applications that have been talked about on the forum, wish me luck. Fingers crossed I will be able to impress my I-phone owning mate at work now.

One thing that I am confused by, is the fact that when I first set up the unlocked phone, I was able to get the local weather forecast on the home screen, when I now click the refresh it, it tells me that I have no connection to GPRS or 3G! Maybe I changed something in my excitement?

Finally rling, who should I send my donation to please?

Re. the bit about weather updates, I just connected up to ActiveSync and it worked, but hopefully there is a way of configuring the device to other methods.
I will persevere.
