[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] iedoc:
Ok, i'll just lay out me whole situation or whatever (thanks for the super fast reply btw)

I have an HTC touch dual P5500 (Niki100 i believe)

I am using windows 7 (i got the drivers that are supposed to work here (ht tp:// forum .xda-developers. com/ showthread.php? t=485293))

I am trying to eventually upgrade from wm6.1 to wm6.5.

I got the phone from my friend who said it was unlocked. when i turn off the phone and turn it on holding the camera button, it goes to the bootloader (i'm not sure if this is helpfull or not) and here is what it says at the top:

NEON300

SPL-0.95.0000

CPLD-3

and here are the steps i am taking;

1. download all those files on the first post of this thread.

2. download the hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped thing on another thread here

3. Put hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped.nbh into "flash-hardspl-niki" directory.(extracted from hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped.zip)

4. Remove simcard and if there was an sd card that would be removed too

5. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to my phone then run it

6. After the color strips and the word USB come up, unplug the USB cable then replug it back in.

7. Then run ROMUpdateUtility.exe in the flash-hardspl-niki directory where the file hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped.nbh is also at.

8. follow the steps until i reach the part where its getting the data from my phone.

9. This is where the problem is at. It has only blanks for the version and all the other information

10. After the next couple steps, it goes into installing or whatever, where there is a bar and its supposed to take up to 10 mins, mine is at 100% in less than a second then gives me the error 244 mobile divice not supported or something.

I'm sorry, right now i seem to have just gotten another problem and activesync won't detect that the phone is connected, so i prob need to restard, then i'll come back and edit this and put more info.

Sorry to sound like i don't know what i'm doing. I've been developing software for almost 15 years now, but i have never really had any experience with devices such as these. So thank you very much for your patience and help! it is truly appreciated!

Also one more quick question, i know it doesn't belong here, but its more like a yes or no question i think. is the htc dual touch POSSIBLY able to have wifi? I would think no because you'd need the hardware, but i keep running across people talking about it, so maybe it is actually possible.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] iedoc:
It looks as though i've gone back a step.

Now, when i run sspl-1.16-nike.exe from my phone and go into the bootloader, and then unplug and replug the usb, activesync won't connect to the phone, so i can't get past the part in the romupdateutility where it checks the phones information, so i get an error 260 - connection.

I have a windows xp netbook i tried using, but it did the same thing as this, so i wanted to try with the xp drivers on windows 7 or whatever, now windows 7 is doing the same thing as windows xp was when i tried to run romupdateutility.

I'll try to reinstall the regular windows 7 drivers for the mobile device.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] iedoc:
Ok, I realized that my phone is a neon300, not a niki100... That clears that up.

So, for the neon300 i'm not supposed to update the rom in the bootloader. I just need to keep it synced then update it. then it resets and goes into the boot loader. i read a thread here that said i need to unplug then replug the usb right when the spl screen shows up. whether i do that or not though, the progress bar on the computer stays at 0 for a bit, then the error 260 connection problem comes up again.

I'll keep looking around to get this fixed, but if anybody has any ideas that would be great! thanks so much!

Touch Dual (nike) Not taking Rom

Hi

My phone stays on 0% then the pc says error in communication?? I see the color bars and everything just does not take the RPL????

What am I doing wrong?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] andrei.nica:
SOLVED

1. I just started at step 4, and copied the sspl 1.16 to my phone. - DONE

2. Turned the phone off. - DONE

3. Removed sim and sd-card - DONE

4. Turn on the phone and launched sspl 1.16 - DONE ( results in triboot screen writing:

NIKI100

SPL-1.16.Jump

CPLD-4

5. Connect on computer and usb appears. - DONE (USB appears on lower triboot screen but active sync disconnects)

6. Running hardspl 1.22 - NOT DONE:

- running hardspl 1.22 from the download link means running a CustomRUU with the attached "hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped.nbh" file. But the CustomRUU check for activesync connection and if that is absent, when "Verifying the information on your phone.. Please wait.." returns error 260: CONNECTION - the update utility cannot connect to the pda phone.

Should I change something like go to mmty and stuff like that to allow usb connection even when active sync is not connected, or how should I solve this issue?

Solved: All I had to do was disconnect and reconnect the USB cable after running 1.16. However Costom RUU did not display anymore the image already present on the phone as it did when activesync was connected but while the triboot screnn with 1.16.Jump was on it flashed 1.22.

Should I see any differences in running Froyo ? :p

HTC T Mobile MDA Hanging Splash Screen - Faulty Car Charger - Curious Child!

The joys of life!

Just when I was really starting to enjoy my HTC MDA Touch Plus, I even managed with my limited knowledge.....to set it up on the internet -(it was

Supercid

- unlocked in January with much appreciated help received from here:) whoopee....and recently, I took it on my summer FAMILY holidays...............and then, TROUBLE!:eek:

The situation;

When mobile, I have to use the in-car charger but this time I noticed the charger seemed faulty. I don't know how long it had been faulty for. Sometimes I would see the charging light doing what it should be doing, being lit up, then sometimes, only after a short time it would be gone out.....and the phone would obviously not be charged. I am quite sure that this was the charger at fault as it had a melt in the plastic case.

In the process of trying to get a new charger - that would work (in the car/bus) the phone must have stopped and started tens of times, but never quite going through a full starting sequence, to be able to be ready to use - either as a mobile phone, or a windows mobile device (was running WM6). Well, I know from experience, that this is not very healthy for computers, as they should be started and stopped properly, otherwise system files get corrupted.

ALSO.....

Without warning (knowledge or consent :mad:) my keen daughter, who thought she might just help her Papa, picked up the phone and 'fiddled' with it: eek:.

I must admit I have since fiddled with it too, trying to work out what has happened, but despite my best efforts I am stuck.

So here I am again, kindly asking for any help you can offer. All replies gratefully accepted.

Symptoms:

Turning on via power switch the device first displays a mostly black screen. At the top is a thin white band which displays the message 'Security Unlocked'.

Underneath it also says, "Smart Mobilty" - and underneath that again it says TEST ONLY NOT FOR RESALE" (This was always normal after I unlocked it before.)

Anyways, after that screen, it displays the T Mobile splash screen and just sits there doing nothing. I cannot turn it off. I have to remove the battery.

Doing a bootloader start procedure (power switch and camera button) I get the tri colour band and the display with thin white band with same message as above, then:

NIKI200 MFG

SPL-1.15.Hard

CPLD-4

At the bottom white band the word serial is displayed.

When connected to some computers in my house (several xp and vista mixed) the word serial changes to usb, but I cannot seem to do anything else. I am completed confused and fuddled.

Any advice please, point by point.

Thanks in advance,

imalearner
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
@ imalearner

Connect your phone to your computer, and flash any rom you like, that will do the trick. (be aware if you flash an wm 6.5 rom to your device, you have to use a radio above 1.65, installing a new radio is the same procedure as flashing a rom only faster because a radio is smaller then a rom.

Can you plese advice, WHY? Is it harder to lock back the device (warranty reasons). Or any other suggestions?

Thank's,

Allex
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
First of all I never re-locked my device so I don't know about that, but my experience is that people with a simlocked device can not unlock there phone when they use 1.22 , but if they start with 1.15 then they are able to

unlock the phone and after that they can flash 1.22, but I don't see any difference between 1.15 or 1.22 and I never had problems with 1.15.

Greetz,
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Synoptex:
Ah, well, ok, now i see.

So... ok, I'm at 1.22, can't do nothing ) Anyway, my warranty already expired. Thank's for the info.

Thanks for the post, but i'm blocking on point 8:

5. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display: done OK6. unplug and replug the usb cable done OK[/COLOR](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 UNABLE

When I run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe, i loose the Sync with the HTC, therefore no data can be sent to the device.

How can I do?

I have now installed the SPL 1.16 Jump...the aim is to sim unlock the device...

Welcome hairbrush4,

I have 2 questions for you,

1. Can you confirm that you're phone is a niki100, you can see that under your battery.

2. If yes, did you removed your sim and sd-card.

Just let me know.

1. it thought so but may be i am wrong.

HI hairbrush4, you have to read THIS and you'll found all information for your phone this thread is for another phone, they both look the same but they are different, that is why it isn't working.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] t_raja:
I am new to changing ROM/Flashing etc. I have HTC Touch Dual unlocked version working pretty well in India till a year ago when I bought my Nexus One.

I like to change my HTC to Android and I hope I am in the right thread. I have gone through many pages in this site for hours to understand some basics.

My HTC phone has the following details:

Model No: NIKI100 (HTC P5500)

Platform: Pocket PC

Windows Mobile 6 Professional

CE OS 5.2.1622 (build 18128.0.4.4)

ROM version: 1.31.707.09

ROM date:10/31/07

Radio Version: 1.58.16.27

Protocol version:25.61.30.03 H

( the above spec is similar to imalearner's but his is a locked phone while mine is unlocked already)

I find the link below having the summary for changing ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=355730&page=61 which reads as below:

ALL INFO FOR THE NIKI100 and NIKI200 NOT THE NEON

01)Disable the keylock/password on your phone

02)Download the attached files in post 1 (and from here http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=439)

03)Delete .nbh file from "flash-hardspl-niki" directory. (extracted from the flash-hardspl-niki.zip)

04)Put hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped.nbh into "flash-hardspl-niki" directory.(extracted from hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped.zip)

05)REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!

06)Connect usb cable

07) Make sure either Activesync or WMDC is synced with the device rather then just being connected via usb!

08) copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)

09) after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display

10) unplug and replug the usb cable

11) Then flash the hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-hardspl-niki directory

12) You should see progress bar on device and be flashed in about 3-5min

13) After installing the hardspl you can flash any rom (or splash or radio)......

.......

Before I start this can any senior/expert here (especially Rataplan - who has been helping a lot) confirm that this is the correct procedure and if I have to know/learn/do anything before?

Thanks in advance! :)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Hi buddy, let's see if I can help you ;)

A lot of people get confused about all the attachements on the first post of this thread, so I'm gonna try to make it a bit easier:

1. download the attached files and extract them from the zip file.

- sspl-1.16-nike.exe

- HardSPL 1.22

2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!

3. Turn your device on.

4. connect usb cable and connect with Active Sync.

5. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)

- You have to run it on your device by tapping on it.

- Your device will now jump into the bootloader (4 coloured screen)

5. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display (4 coloured screen)

6. unplug (wait 10 seconds) and replug the usb cable (4 coloured screen)

7. you can now flash the Hardspl-1.22 by running Nike CustomRUU.exe from flash-uspl-niki

8. Now you can flash every rom you want :D

(When flashing a WM 6.5 rom, you're radio must be 1.65 or above)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jimbtruck:
My device connects ok until I run the sspl-1.16-nike.exe. Then it goes to the colored sreen with USB at the bottom and active sync drops. If I unplug the USB (10 seconds or more) it never goes to serial, and never connects to activesync again. I have a Neon 300 running WM 6.1
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Ok, I'm going to checks some things and will be back in 15 min.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jimbtruck:
I should say it never reconnects to active sync until I remove the battery and restart.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
I'm trying to figure it out, where I go wrong, you need to make the jump.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Ok, if I'm correct when you unplug your device the bootloader says "USB" and it is also there when you're device is not connected.

When you connect you're device you can run HARDSPL 1.22
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
You have to stop immediatly, I didn't read you have a NEON 300, this is not made for your device.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jimbtruck:
Is there no upgrade to 6.5.x for the HTC Touch Pro Neon 300?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
You can start HERE.

Succes
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] t_raja:
Hi Rataplan,

Thanks a lot for your prompt response.

I assume that, this simplified procedure is meant for me. I like to first understand and do cautiously. With you being around, I need not worry. But I like to keep troubling you to the minimum.

I have downloaded the files you have attached in your post. Yesterday I set up WMDC (my laptop is Vista) and made the sync work with my HTC Touch Dual.

Upto steps 6, your instructions are clear. In step 7, you mention "can now flash the Hardspl-1.22 by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki". In the hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped.zip you have attached, "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" is not there but "Nike CustomRUU.exe" file is there. But the "flash-uspl-niki" of post one has "ROMUpdateUtility.exe". Please clarify this step.

Also you have stopped with Step 7, Is that all or what are the next steps (which ROMs -basically I like get my HTC phone work well with Android)?

THANKS once again for your promptness and help!

warm regards,t_raja
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Hi t_raja, yep this instructions are specially made for you :D but now everybody can read them, because you're not the first who is having problems with it.

Sorry about step 7, it was a typo, I now corrected it.

Android is only running on sd-card you have to read the specific thread of it and post there your question, I can't help you with that :o sorry.

If you have any questions, you can always ask ;)

Have fun with your device.

Greetz,
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] t_raja:
Thanks, Rataplan.

Step 7 should read "you can now flash the Hardspl-1.22 by running Nike CustomRUU.exe from hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped".

Well, I could do the steps without any problem. Thanks to your simplified procedure. I went through setting the device etc and the phone rebooted once in the beginning and once after setting the device as per instruction on the screen. It took about 6 minutes for everything to be over.

But when I checked the ROM version it was same 1.31.707.09, date 10/31/07; radio version 1.58.16.27; protocol version 25.61.30.03H. This is a bit puzzling to me but you have mentioned that in step 8 you have mentioned "Now you can flash every ROM". Is this correct?

Before flashing, the phone signal used to be very low and it is the same now. I hoped that it will improve after flashing. Is there any ROM I can use to improve signal strength? I do not know whether over a period of time the phone hw can go bad to lose its sensitivity.

So please recommend a good Radio ROM which will improve the signal strength.

Regarding Android (even from SD card), I am okay with it. I will try to locate in some other forum in XDA. Thanks one again for your help.

warm regards,

t_raja
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Hi buddy, the rom doesn't change when you flash Hardspl.

Your phone is splitted in two different sections, a rom and a radio.

When you flash a cooked rom (not an original) the radio doesn't change, when you flash a radio, your rom doesn't change.

A radioflash is a lot shorter because it is smaller then a rom.

For a good radio you must take a look in the Insomnia thread from d_train, he has a radio 1.65.30.12 that one is ok.

For rom's you just search the forum, from which one you like the most.

Succes and a lot's of fun

Rataplan
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] t_raja:
Thanks, Rataplan, for the clarification (that the ROM does not change for hardspl!)

I will hunt for the radio 1.65.30.12 as per your reco. You say "For rom's you just search the forum, from which one you like the most."

Does this mean I can use any ROM that is available on my Touch Dual irrespective of make, type? Sorry for sounding dumb!

I could not find any Android (even on SD card) here....

But I am really enjoing this experience of flashing and learning from you, experts!

Fun this is... :)

warm regards,

t_raja
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Hi t_raja, you can find the radio HERE

For roms you can take a look in my signature, but there are a lot of other chef's who made perfect roms, just keep in mind that a rom is device specific, it means that you can only flash a rom which is made for your device.

For Android, I'm pretty sure you"ll find one in the Nike forum.

Just a small tip, if your device is acting weird you have to go back to your original rom and radio, most of the times it happens if you flash your device to often. (about 10 to 15 times).

I'm glad you already having a lot of fun, and I'm proud to be the first person to give you a thank you. ;)

Have fun, and if you have questions just ask, that's where this site is ment for.
