Hi Jockyw2001, as per your 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
- unplug and replug the usb cable - OK
- I flashed the attached test splash screen by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-splash-niki - OK but did notice my device went to full hard reset back to factory settings is this normal? had to do a system restore via Sprite Backup!
THE NEXT TWO STEPS IS WHERE I GET ERROR 262!!!
- Tried to flash the uspl-1.16-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki - ERROR
- Tried also to flash the hardspl-1.16-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-hardspl-niki - Again ERROR!!
Each time on the above two steps my device goes into the tri-colour bootloader screen with the progress bar at 0 then after about 3-5 min I get Update Error!!! Luckily my device is fine except for the fact I get the Smart Mobility - TEST ONLY NOT FOR SALE splash on on every bootup, how do I get rid of it and what am I doing wrong? please help!
UPDATE: Oops my mistake just realized had to run SSPL each time I flashed, Flashed HARD SPL it's OK now
PLEASE IGNORE ALL SORTED!! Just Flashed HTCAsiaWWE ROM Thanks ahmad yousry, it's a nippy ROM compared to my previous bloated Orange ROM!!!
Big thanks to jockw2001,Olipro,Pof and others!!!
