Hey everyone, came through here because i saw new rom is out but i see there is little reaction to it. the rom is in wwe. if u have hardspl installed u can go back to the original roms as long as it is available on xda.
this rom though has been tested fully and because of all the aditions and cabs out there would make u keep it after flashing it. a 20 key version will come at a later time.
dont be scared to try it. it wont bite. i with other helped tom design graphics and make this rom as good as possible. it is aku 1.1 buid that i know none of u have and has absolute latest apps and lots of good tweaks. Nice job tom! enjoy the rom everyone!

31st January 2008, 10:59 PM
...i saw new rom is out but i see there is little reaction to it...
Probably it's due to the major diffusion of the 20keys model...
Just a little request: could it be possible to have a "How to cook the Niki rom" for the newbies?
Would be greatly appreciated...
We know we have to start from here:

Excellent work, cheers Tom.
If you have trouble installing [ERROR 202 - Connection failed], try extracting the nbh and the CustomRUU.exe from the install package and running the exe directly, I had to do this before it would flash.

HI,
This is for 16 Key version, but work in 20 also, like in my case, but you will lose xt9 portuguese.
ExtRom is where the operators/devellopers normalily put their one aplications and settings, wich will instal autonaticaly after a Hard Reset or a upgrade. This ROM donīt have ExtendedROM.
If you upgrade to this ROM you will lose I9 acess for TMN, and MobileTV, because this aplications are in the Portuguese version of the EXtendedROM, and the Portuguese ROM that TOM posted donīt have the Extended, for that, even you return after this to PT ROM you will never get again i9 acess and MobileTV.
To flash is only "copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)" and after that flash the hardspl-1.16-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe , but you must read carefull the Thread, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1777082&postcount=1

If you want a sound when you send a sms messege then go to message / message options / select a :) request a message delivery notification
And by the way ...read your phone manual - it is not Tom job to answer basic questions - he coocks ROMs for us !
Great JOB TOM !!

Just a thought but..
In the registry send message notification has been disabled.
So if you enable it (I believe you can do it through Advanced Config.) and soft reset it should appear in sound notifications?
Just a theory.

hi everybody,
yesterday evening i made the ROM upgrade installing the kool results of Tom Codon work.
Everything's running fine but i'm experiencing a strange behaviour with the Call History option from the Phone app: i'm not able to exit from it using the End Key, as I used to do before the upgrade.
If i try to press the End Key (while i'm in the Call History view) the screen becomes slightly "corrupted" (blank white parts) and the app remains in foreground; i've found a workaround going back to the keypad view and then pressing the End Key. In this case the Phone apps goes correctly to background and i see again the Today Screen.
Otherwise, to exit from the Call History view i have to push the OK button in the upper right corner... but it's less practical, i'd prefer to use the End Key.
Is anyone experiencing the same?
Thanks a lot and lots of compliments to Tom & all the master coders :)

Its faster (this could be due to a clean install) and seems more responsive (could be psychological :)

Dear Tom,
I 've tried to upgrade to your Rom with my notebook pc (Vista) last night.
I did the procedure carefully as follows,
- download the attached files...........OK
- REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!.........OK
- connect usb cable...........................OK
- copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)....OK
- after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display..............OK
- unplug and replug the usb cable...................OK
Then, before I flash HardSPL, Windows tried to search the driver but cannot find.
So, I disconnected Niki and hard reset. After initial setting, I connect USB cable with my notebook. But Message shown up "USB Divice Not Recognized". and cannot connect to Windows Mobile Center as usaual.
I though it 's because of Windows Vista. So ,this morning I tried with my office PC (XP) when connect usb, the same message again "USB Divice Not Recognized"
How can I do now? Please advise.
Although, now I can restore my data back from Sprite Backup and can use as usual but it cannot be Syncronized with my PC anymore. :(
Please help.........
Edit : Sorry , after I tried Hard Reset and went to Troubleshooting of windows, now I can use ActiveSync.
Then, I tried to Upgrade ROM again. But when I went through
- REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!.........OK
- connect usb cable...........................OK
- copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)....OK
- after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display..............OK
- unplug and replug the usb cable...................OK
Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-hardspl-niki
Connection ERROR (260) appears.
How I can do next ?
Edit : Solved
After I tried it again and again several time , I alredy pass the process of HardSPL.
Now I will try UPGRADE ROM.
Edit : Connection Error 202
when I want to upgrade Tom's Rom. Do I have to go through sspl again ? before run TOM_Niki-Project_WM6.1_WWE_16keys_signed_Ship.exe
I tried both through ActiveSynce Conneted and run sspl first then run TOM_Niki-Project_WM6.1_WWE_16keys_signed_Ship.exe. Both gave me "Connection Error 202"
How can I do next ? Please ....
Edit : Connection error 260
I tried to run after extract TOM_Niki-Project_WM6.1_WWE_16keys_signed_Ship.exe. Still got Error 260.
Also, I'm not sure how I was doing wrong but right now my screen is Color Stripe with Serial letter below and when I connect USB ,it changes to USB.
Even hard reset , it came back to this screen again....
Oh!!! now worry about it to be a brick..
Somebody help me...
Edit : ha ha ha 55555 I DID it.. after re-trying several times..
I think my problem is the USB connector in my Niki ,always loose and lost connection between upgrading.
I have to hold it and stay still for long until it's 100%.

After few days using your excellent ROM Tom, the issues I have which I'm not sure if it's to do with your ROM but more a WM6.1 issue (other then the end call history bug that's already mentioned here) are 1st with certain apps that launch at start up my device would hang on the welcomehead splash upon every 2nd or 3rd re-boot/SR:( this happens with SPB Pocketplus, GPRS Monitor and PointUI if I disable them from start up problem goes away!
And the 2nd issue I have is upon every other sync either via usb/BT Activesync/WMDC seems to forget partnership with my device:( I have to re-do the whole partnership process!!

After few days using your excellent ROM Tom, the issues I have which I'm not sure if it's to do with your ROM but more a WM6.1 issue (other then the end call history bug that's already mentioned here) are 1st with certain apps that launch at start up my device would hang on the welcomehead splash upon every 2nd or 3rd re-boot/SR:( this happens with SPB Pocketplus, GPRS Monitor and PointUI if I disable them from start up problem goes away!
And the 2nd issue I have is upon every other sync either via usb/BT Activesync/WMDC seems to forget partnership with my device:( I have to re-do the whole partnership process!! I know Activesync has always been a nightmare but this is ridiculous it's a shame I really like this ROM but am afraid I'm reverting to my previous ROM until you release v2!
I get similar issues on the roms i have built for herald. And I have seen other chefs getting theese too.
But I would not worry, cause this rom is made by the numero uno guy, and there is not much mr.Tom can't fix :)
looks great Tom, wish I had a Niki to test it on :p

wow this was my post nr 1000, weird....

have no issue with bootup. Probably because of the startup items. Try HR and not installing pocketplus.
As for syncing, no issues again so far. Have synced about half a dozen times, all via bluetooth.

1. This is a bug. A fix for the BT problem, goes to 'Settings/Bluetooth/FTP' check the enable file sharing. Then you can receive via BT as well.
2. No issue for MMS. Works fine here
3. This has been discussed so many times. Goes to 'HKLM\Software\OEM\MASD' and delete the 'QuickDial' String. Then refresh your today screen. You'll then be able to access the Favorite People.
Cheers!

Thanks! But the first issue was easily resolved by deleting the culpret apps from start up and yes I did do a HR, the issue was still present.
My real bugbear was the activsync issue couldn't fathom as to how activsync forgets the partnership I know BT sync is not always 100% but even over USB!! bizzare:-/
Activesync is important to me as I sync a lot of emails so it needs to be consistant hence for this issue alone I have gone back to my previous ROM and my activesync works fine now, ah well I'll wait for tom to release v2:)

hi everybody,
yesterday evening i made the ROM upgrade installing the kool results of Tom Codon work.
Everything's running fine but i'm experiencing a strange behaviour with the Call History option from the Phone app: i'm not able to exit from it using the End Key, as I used to do before the upgrade.
If i try to press the End Key (while i'm in the Call History view) the screen becomes slightly "corrupted" (blank white parts) and the app remains in foreground; i've found a workaround going back to the keypad view and then pressing the End Key. In this case the Phone apps goes correctly to background and i see again the Today Screen.
Otherwise, to exit from the Call History view i have to push the OK button in the upper right corner... but it's less practical, i'd prefer to use the End Key.
Is anyone experiencing the same?
Thanks a lot and lots of compliments to Tom & all the master coders :)
Alex
hey kulma,
I have the exact same problem here. As a workaround, I have stopped using call history as I can achieve similar functionality from the phone dialer. it shows me my most recent dialed/missed/received calls at the top of the contact list. Now I just get the dialer when I open the keypad or press the Send Key and I can close it qiuckly with the End Key too! :)
if you want to try this then turn off the option 'Press SEND to open Call History' via phone->options->advanced. and I also turned off the 'Keypad QuickTasks' from settings as I don't really like it.
Big thanks also from me to Tom for his outstanding work!!

Hi all - could you please confirm, that nobody had any problem with ActiveSync with Exchange? Does anybody us it?
I also have Problems with ActiveSync and Exchange.
Under my Vista PC, ActiveSync can't connect every time. (Cable Connection)
Device is recognized, Device center starts "connecting".
After a few seconds Mobile Device Center says "not connected",
but on the Device i see the connected Arrows in the taksbar.
Device isn't present in the explorer when this happens.
If I get it working after a few tries, ActiveSync still ends in an Error,
because it can't connect to Exchange.
Internet is present on PC.
Syncing of local information (my documents, wallet...) works fine.
But sometimes Activesyc is getting completely disconneted again while sync.
Today I tried at work with XP.
I have no usb-cable available here, so i tried over BT.
Connection seem to be no problem.
Have to do a closer look at home if it will be working also over BT with Vista.
But i'm still getting an Syc Error because of connection to Exchange (BT and XP)
Unlike Mobile Device Center, Actiove Sync gives an Error Code for the Error with Exchange: 85020006
I also tried another Harderset, but the problem still exists.
Beside ot that this ROM works like a charm :)
Thx for your amazing work Tom!

Hi i have a problem,
I follow instructions to the letter, during flasing (either hardspl or uspl) the progress bar, takes less than 3 seconds to get to 100% rather than the 10mins advised, and then the pc says it is completed and the Niki resets.
It still comes up with the orange start screen and, asks for me to calibrate screen and set time.
Is this right ! ?
I then try and install the Rom from "Niki Project ROM V1" and I have no Idea how to do that so am probably doing it wrong, but if I try and launch the prog from the Niki it says "no" basically, and if I try and launch from PC a black box comes up and has a random blinking white line jumping around it.

Flashed on an Italian "TIM" branded 20keys Niki....
Works like a charm... tomorrow I'll test the connectivity and the BT...
Just a doubt:
I've seen that the parameters in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\[Resuming] [Suspend] [Unattended]\{98C5250D****\Default are all configured to "4"...
I've posted a thread about those and many of us confirmed that with "3" we get more battery life...
I'll test it and I'll tell you if with "4" and your rom I will have the same battery life than my original rom with "3" in those parameters... (maybe there is something wrong with the TIM Rom...)
Thanks so much TOM!

Ok my friend..!
The first i think u need update Hard-SPL for your device.
And for sure u have Hard-SPL already,please go to Bootloader to check it.
Copy my Attachments files and copy to your device.Run it.It will go to your bootloader.
If u see Bootloader page 4 color and in Red Sector show :
NIKI100
SPL-1.16.Hard
CPLD-4
That mean u have Hard-SPL already and can update my rom normal

if you have installed the hard spl. donwload tom's rom. unpack it opening the exe file with win rar extract the two files where you want and then start the exe file with your phone connected to the usb cable.
hope this helps you

Hi Thanks,
I have tried this but cannot seem to get it to work, It comes up, gets to the point of a percentage bar on the phone and PC goes to 100% then phone restarts, the PC says its complete. but then orange just comes back up.... Rom not updating.

Excellent work, cheers Tom.
If you have trouble installing [ERROR 202 - Connection failed], try extracting the nbh and the CustomRUU.exe from the install package and running the exe directly, I had to do this before it would flash.
I tried running the exe directly, and it worked just until the progress bar appeared. Then still in 0% I received an error message saying: ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR.
I tried the recovery, and my phone restarted normally, but every time I try the update again I get the same error.
What should I do?
Cheers!
;)

install winrar , extract the exe to a new directory , launch the EXE inside the new directory ...

I'm going to flash Tom's ROM sometime in the next few days and given that this is my first time flashing, I'm wondering if you guys can answer a few questions for me:
1. USPL or Hard-SPL - which is better? Should I do one or both?
2. If I use Sprite backup to back everything up prior to flashing, will I be able to restore it on the new ROM or will I need to reconfigure everything?
3. My phone doesn't stay connected to Windows Mobile Device Center very well. What happens if it disconnects during the flash? Will my phone be bricked?
4. How long (in general) does the flashing process usually take??
Thanks in advance for your help. I look forward to trying out your new ROM, Tom.

in my experience:
1)you only need to flash the hardspl once(to understand why just read the first post about the HARDSPL, ect)
2)I do not use sprite so I cant really say about the settings..but for sure it is better to reinstall everything after changing rom
3)for windows mobile center you mean that active sync does not stay connected with the phone when you plug in the cable? if yes installing the hardspl you should be able to restore the phone, but better wait for someone more expert about this...
4)around 5 minutes

So you mean reinstall everything by hand instead of restoring backup?
3)for windows mobile center you mean that active sync does not stay connected with the phone when you plug in the cable? if yes installing the hardspl you should be able to restore the phone, but better wait for someone more expert about this...
Yea, ActiveSync (or Windows Mobile Device Center on Vista) doesn't stay connected. I often have to try 5-10 times before it actually connects. After that, if I'm copying over a cab file or running an exe to install something on the phone, it'll disconnect after it is copied instead of staying connected. It's really weird. I've only seen it with this particular phone.
So, I'm nervous that when I get half way through flashing it'll disconnect and I won't be able to restore my phone. It was expensive so I want to be careful.

Have you checked the usb cable is firmly in both ends (:) have to check)? Try copying a large file over (40mb+) - if the connection is actually cutting out then the transfer will fail. WMDC can be tetchy sometimes.
If it fails do not attempt to flash, if the connection dies while flashing it will almost definitely brick your device.
I would recommend hardspl, less hassle and once it is installed you have the peace of mind knowing you can recover from almost all issues.
If you are still unsure of the connection use another machine, its not worth ruining your device!

I don't think it's my USB cable. In fact, this phone does not stay connected on my personal laptop OR my work laptop. My home machine has Vista and work has XP. It's really irritating.
I've even searched the forum to get insight on the issue but none of the stuff I've tried has worked.

But you DID try a different cable, right?
It's usually just the cable, esp if the connectors are loose.
Don't try to flash if until you've fixed that connection issue. Not worth the risk. We don't have much resolution/fixes for bricked Nikis yet.

Yes, I have two different cables (one for work and one for home) and I get the same symptom with both. In fact, the one I have at work was used for my Cingulare 2125 and I never had and issue with keeping a connection with that phone.

You 've got the same problem with my niki. When I want to sync the data with PC. I have to hold the USB Cable into the phone until it finish. or, sometimes can put the phone to lay on a cup with USB connection on the top and let the phone stay still. If the phone moves, it will be disconnected. But it can be charged without problems.
I did the ROM upgrade and faced a lot of trial and error , you can see on my previous post.
But finally , it's done. and Tom's ROM is goooooood...
I think you can try holding and pushing the usb cable in your phone while connecting and see whether it's still disconnected or not. If no, I think it's will be same as mine.
USB Cable is not an issue but the USB connector on the phone!!!!!

The connection Problem was mentioned a whole time on the last pages.
It only affects this Rom.
With my O2 Rom there is no problem like that.
It also seem to fail only the AS/Mobile Device Center connection.
The phone also still says its connected to a pc.
So i don't think it will cause errors while flashing, because you are in bootloader
then and not connected with ActiveSync.
But now with 2 more guys mentioned this bug we should be already 5-7 peops in this thread.
Let's hope Tom find and correct this for next ROM.

Hi, I tried different roms but only Toms ROM showed up with this connetion problem. I figured out, I had this Problem only, when the Niki has a password protection (you need sometimes with Exchange Active Synq). It seems, the computer can not save this Password. Usually at the first sync Active Sync ask you, do you want to store this password for further connections or something like that. With Toms ROM this question will not showed. Perhaps it can help to find the bug ...
BTW Sorry about my bad english ... If you find mistakes, you may keep them (;-)

Just been going trough this thread, and I can see quite a few of you are having similar activesync USB issues like I did when I had this ROM installed on my device, begs the question whether it's related to WM6.1. I hope tom can fix this issue on v2.0!

yep..let's hope it can be (easily) fixed...because it is really annoying to be able to use only 3g or similar for surfing the web or just update the weather

it seems issue is known to microsoft.
the way to go around it, is to open the device manager, and uninstall the remote mobile network device (under network adapters- visible when phone connected to PC but mobile center not seeing it/connecting to it). unplug-replug and sync is possible.
Tom, great Rom...but apps are slow to launch, and some problems with internet connection settings (resets to unknown (laurel?) proxies).

i don't see the remote mobile network device on my machine. does this only apply to XP or is it vista, too?? i can't connect anymore and really want to flash Tom's ROM on my niki.

I'm still having real problems with active sync (wmdc) connecting irregularly.
I have also noticded that my device and charger cable get exceptionally warm when left to charge for a few hours.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi Tom, I need to send to Customer Service my Niki because I didn't solve the camera problem. In order to have not problems with warranty I have tried to restore the original configuration of it.
When I restart my Niki, after few seconds, it shows off red message with the roms installed inside:
R 1.58.16.27
G 25.61.39.03H
D 1iki Pro
How can I change last line "D 1iki Pro" with the original line?
Thanks a lot!:)

You only need to flash HardSPL once it's permanant!
