How to Flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh ROM

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.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] muuu:
And then what?

After i see USB on screen, and replug the cable, nothing happens.

What am i missing?

Update:

Just a minute, found some info, reading it now.

Update:

Heres what i was missing:

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.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] iloveannie:
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
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Montezume:
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 ;)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] delta37:
if i sspl and hardspl my device now, my data won't get overwritten right?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] whutwhut:
THANK YOU

:D WORKS GREAT .......Now i finally got rid of those horrible pink icons:D:D:D
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Brombeer78:
Okeey, I finally did it:)

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?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] NetrunnerAT:
its all ok!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Brombeer78:
Okeey thanks i will try to get a HTC default rom on to the device.

So i finaly get rid of the T-mobile colors
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] 7th_gear:
I am a newbie, when it comes to flashing these phones... how can I perform step one ? active sync says please unlock the phone and it phone prompt enter pass word
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Brombeer78:
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

Problem with Flashing

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)

What am I doing wrong , any help appreciated

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] kerrance76:
nothing as far as i remember thats what happened to me, you should be able to flash a new rom now
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] NetrunnerAT:

Flashing Niki

...I'm not sure it is ready.

When I run the SSPL-1.16Nike again - I have the following on the Red/Green/Blue Screen

NIKI200

SPL-1.16.Jump

CPLD-4

Is that correct?:confused::confused:
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] kerrance76:
thats because you have just run the sspl again
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Just a clarification. Have successfully installed SSPL, HardSPL and updated the ROM to 6.1 on my Nike100.

If I want to install another ROM, do I need to repeat the entire process?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] badaas:
No, with HardSPL installed, you can flash whenever you want.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Sorry to be pedantic, but just to clarify - I can just run any 'RomUpdateUtility' without any further preparations. (Too fearful of bricking my phone)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] kendo818:
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
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] the_fish:
hi,

that means u did the 1.16 update not the 1.15 one...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] kerrance76:
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.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] delta37:
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?

Sorry if all this sounds stupid to all you experts but help.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] eyecrispy:
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.

Stuck at "Loading ..." screen

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.

:O

ive trying to install the hard spl 1.15 since 2-3 hours.

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?)

any solutions?

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!!!

First attempt 15%... conexion lost!!!!. All my fears come to me...... recovery did well work...... UUUUUffffffffff!!!!!

Second attempt.... after 6 minutes. All working. No red Vodafone start splash screen, Contacts in the red button (not the ****ing VF Live!!!)

But still not possible to put Movistar SIM....Still network locked.

Anyway It will come sooooonnnn

Yes, you can update the rom!

HARD SPL = only unlocking your device so you can put another niki rom on to it!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] toddbud:
Think I bricked my 16 key

Followed instructions as per above. Was able to update to 15%, did not recover. Now when I try to load the uspl, hardspl or flash I get a communications error. When I try to flash the ASIA ROM (above), it shows 1% then the phone blacks out and I get ERROR [294] Invalid vendor ID. When I yank the battery and turn back on, I get a the red, green blue screen with the following info: NIKI 100, SPL-1.16.0000, CPLD-4 (RUUNBH in top right corner).

Help!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jockyw2001:
It means the USPL or HardSPL wasn't flashed to your device in the first place.

Then you tried to update the ROM which doesn't work of course and now your Niki is still in Rom Update Mode.

You can get it out of that mode by using MTTY to connect to your device via USB (search for MTTY 1.42). Make sure activesync setting "Allow USB connections" is not checked!.

Press return 2 times and you will see a "Cmd>" prompt.

Type "task 8" and your device should reboot normally.

Then try again to flash the USPL or HardSPL (recommended) and once it is installed flash the ROM of your choice.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] cmonex:
We patched CableChanged but omitted to try loading it with cable connected then unplugging and replugging, unfortunate because we actually also then delved into detectUsbCable evidently unnecessarily... still, it was quite amusing to do since I (Olipro) hacked up a bit of shellcode to BL to that would display "Wahey" and a number on the screen (per iteration) so that we could see where execution got to, anyhow, we're in the US now (New Jersey specifically) so we're technically AWOL at the moment :P

notes from cmonex: you probably already know which function we refer to when mentioning CableChanged, but if not, then it is the function where you patched a BEQ to NOP to always load the proper flag for USB connection. (we did the same patch but as Olipro says above, we didn't test it properly .. then no more testing, as we've gone to the US. :D )

...but if you didn't know the function name, in that case i wonder how you got there without knowing the functions ;)

anyway did you see my post in Kaiser SIM Unlock thread, i didn't see a reply from you? thanks.
