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.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] the_fish:
because it boots way faster ;)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Alex Minards:
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...

Successfully flashed to Hardspl 1.22. I'll report back on my impressions after a bit more use.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Pinotage:
Is it possible that version 1.22 causes a higher battery drain?

Thanks
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] randomelements:
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
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] ed33:
My battery lasted all weekend with 6.1 htc rom and spl1.22.

It used to drain really fast with wm6 and orange UK rom
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Khrushy:
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).

is this caused by 1.22 HARD??

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).

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,

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

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 :

Dear all friend

I read all post from this forum.I don't know which way (the way is necessary before upgrading i.e:sspl,uspl,..) is perfect before upgarding to WM6.1( HTC_Touch_Dual_APAC_RUU_Nike_HKCSL_WWE_2.16.831.3_Radio_NikeMR_1.65.29.22_signed_Ship.exe).Please tell me a way correct for sspl,uspl or hardspl if it is realy necessary.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
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.

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

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

Apologies if this is in the wrong place.

Got to sleep now, as I am all htc's out.

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)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
So, phone is in bootloader mode and ready to accept ROMs. It should also say USB on the phone screen.

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.

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.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
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

HardSPL-1.15Mfg-Nike.zip

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:

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

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.
