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)
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.

Very wise words Pawel062, thanks for contributing them.
But not to worry, this SSPL works fine. I solved the usb issue.

Hi guys, I'm sure there are thousands of posts with clear instructions for a newbie (like me) on how to flash the uspl (.nbh) file. To my eternal shame and after trying to search the the various forums, I'm still badly in need of some explanation (or a least a hint regarding what to search for) on how the flash the uspl file... Suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks in advance.
