So thanks for al the good work, it's much aprreciated, even today with a newcomer to Niki hacking.

No tone/voices during phonecalls

Hi all.

Like some other people I bought a swisscom branded, french-languaged Niki 100 in the bay.

As I recognized that first, I wated to swith back the deal, but then I came to that thread of this forum (I'm here some longer for GZZii Geocaching-Application)

At first I didn't understand what the talk was about, but after a while I learned to distinguish between Kitchens, cooks and radios. ;-)

I was very afraid to kill my phone by flashing it, but with the here found description (see below) it was very easy at all.

I installed applications and things I need and found that everything worked fine..especially the EDGE Internetconnetion is a tremendous differece to my old HTC Touch. The only think I fond not working was the camera, but i also found the hint for the used radioversion.

BUT: I tested everything, but not the very basic meaning of the phone: making Phonecalls! I can place and recieve calls, but I can't hear anything: no dialtones, not maypartner, neither is he able to hear me.

Is that a known issue? I didn't find anythin here through search.

Kind regards

Andre

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Hehe nice tuto isn't it :D

From what I can read, you have a corrupt radio or a broken phone, just flash an original rom and see if the issue is solved.

For original roms take a look HERE

Greetz,
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
wow.. after aproxximately 1 year of no posts here at all I didn't expect an aswer that fast, - thank you!

The link you posted includes only downloads... but the names of the ROM don't mean anything to me.. except tha "NOR" might be for Norway, "SWE" for sweden and so on.

Do you know of a "latest official" in german or something similar?

Andre
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
If you want one in German I have an original swisscom for you which can be found HERE.

Succes Andre
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
Swisscom sounds good, because the Phone orignally is from Swisscom (but came with French Windows... et je ne comprend pas bien fraincais ;-)

Thanks a lot, I'll try it soon ('cause I like to use my phone also for making phonecalls ;-)

Andre
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Haha yep, making calls is a handy thing with a mobile phone. ;)

Greetz,
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
Hi.

Just one more:

You expected the Radio to be broken (I don't think it's the phone because I just bougth it with warranty - which I now no longer have) and the mentioned problem with the camera also seems to be based on the radio.

Wouldn't it then be better to first try out a new (or even older) radio then?

- The doing here is just the same as as flashing a ROM, right?

And - is there a certain radio you'd prefer?

Kind regards

Andre
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Hmm maybe you're right, I prefer the radio which wasn't working for you, which can be found HERE.

Greetz,
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
Aaarrghh..it's not working.

The installation stopped at 99% and then tolld we it did not work and leaded me throught the recovery.

I then ran it again as it's been told.. and now I stuck at 0%

What can I do? :confused: :eek: :confused:
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
Ok... shold have read that from wiki before...

You need minimum uspl and hardspl started! If not ... Flashing stops on 99%!

-and that's exactly what it did.

USPL, HardSPL ...

Did I do that?

I used the sspl-1.16-nike.exe from the device.. is tha USPL or HardSPL or both? :confused:
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
Can anyone give hints for me how to carry on?

Currenty i have a blue-red-green display and am far away from knowing what to do.

The questions I try to find answers to in this forum are:

How can I USPL HardSPL my device?

All I can find is that i have to, but i cannot find anything about the "how"

(By the way: what does SPL mean? )

I read that a simple way to bring my Niki back to life would be to flash a FULL- ROM (which i expect to have ROM an Radio all in one!?)

But where can I find such a FULL ROM? -Or how can I identify it?

I didn't find ROM tha has a "Full" in it's name or even has a bigger Size, than "normal" ROMs.

Can a hard-reset bring me back to a working device? Will the factoty-Setting perside in the device, although I flashed a new ROM?

I try to find some answers by reading reading reading, but Id be very thankful for any kind of help.

Regards

Andre
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Hakim Rahman:
Full rom can be found at http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=44&act=sd&cat=all

SPL is Secondary Program Loader
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
Thanks Hakim Rahman.

So this is a Full ROM.. ok.

Unfortunately I Can't use it, because this official site doesn't like my Serialnumber, Maybe because it is Swisscom branded?

Hi Tom,

first of all, your rom is great as usual. but i found a bug too, in cube were you can press "music" "pictures" and "videos", the "pictures" button doesn't appear and when i press the black bulk, then it comes an error message.

what can i do?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] NetrunnerAT:
neon and niki can use the same os ... some settings are different ... this is why we can use both roms, only radio is different!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] tom_codon:

It should be done :)

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Woow Andre, when you started your first post I thought you already go through the hardspl stuff, if you read that tutorial you can see where it went wrong if you only used sspl you should be able to flash your phone, the only difference is that you need to use sspl everytime you wanna flash another rom.

Okay, let's see if we can bring back your phone.

1. Tell me what you read in the boatloader, the 4 coloured screen.

Only make a note of that, and continuing with the following steps.

2. Remove battery, wait a few minutes.

3. Insert battery.

4. Do a hardreset.

To perform a hard reset on a device that is not responding to input or not booting to Windows, first remove the back cover of the device. Hold the "call" and "end call" keys on the front of the device and reset the device by sticking the stylus into the small hole to the left side of the USB port. The device will ask for confirmation. To confirm, press the "Enter" key on the keypad. On some devices you need to press the "Action" key instead of "Enter".

Just let me know how it goes.

Greetz,
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
Hi-ho! :-)

OK, fist thing: Informationonthe Screen:

In the red:

RUUNBH

NIKI100 SPL-1.22.0000

In the Green:

Upgrade ROM code error

Please try again

In the Blue:

(nothing)

In the white:

Serial (or USB, when connected)

Will now carry on with the steps metioned
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
OK...

I did the reset athough I only have two hands.. The Stylus didn't fit into the hole so I took a ... Büroklammer (?)

The device did some restore (confimed by button)

After it had finished i was asked to press the "send" button.

I pressed the green key ... and i went back to red-green-blue

But in the red I now have

RUUNBH

NIKI100

SPL-1.22.0000

CPLD-4
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Okay thanks,

This tells me that you had a bad flash, to solve this you have to flash the original rom.

Personally I think you can use the German swisscom rom wich I mentioned in my first reply. (maybe you already downloaded that one).

I'm gonna do a search for your original rom but I can't promise you anything.

And let me know if it is not working, there is also another way to get your phone back alive, but I wanna try this first because this is the easy way. ;)

Greetz,
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
Good morning!

OK so it's this one you're talking about?

Is there anything special I have to do on the PC before starting the RUU?

Otherwise I'd do it like that:

- connect device

- run Active sync (Will that work?)

- dis- and reconnect cable

- run RUU

- take the phone, make phonecalls and surf the internet :)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Goodmorning Andre,

No I was talking about the link in THIS POST.

I prefer to put your phone in bootloader (4 coloured screen) and then connect with your pc.

Then run the exe from the swisscom rom.

Succes,
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
ok... i'll try it as soon as i'll be home!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Ok, maybe because it isn't the original rom, HERE is your original rom.

Try it again with this rom.

Wonderful, great!

I really already had views on ebay, seeking a new phone, but now it's back just the way I bought it, thanks a lot!!!

- And now I could start from scatch to put it in a german mode?!

To prevent from problems like the one I solved just a minute ago with your help: what should I do?

Where can I find infos about that hardspl-thing?

kind regards

Andre
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
I'm glad your issue is solved.

For the hardspl stuff there is a thread HERE.

Just read carefully, and use the tutorial you already posted in your first post.

Sleepz Andre, ;)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
OK, thanks a lot for your help.

UN fortunatly I have to go on Vacations tomorrow, therefor I'd rather have a living phone in french than a non working (because I didn't understand it all until now) in german.

But I'll keep on trying when I'll be back.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
Hi Rataplan and anybody else who's interested in this tread.

Unfortunately my vacation now is over now and I desperately want to put my Niki into your Kitchen.

As you might remember, my last attempt went wrong because I didn't perform (or put?) "hardspl" to my device (this what I understood from your reply).

Therefore you guided me to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1777082&postcount=1

I now took a look to that thread, but basically I don't see a difference to what I did before, following this thread here.

In the mentioned thread it says:

8. you can now flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki

(hardspl-1.15 was changed to hardspl-1.22 by laer editing)

Also here it says:

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

Is there something I missed or didn't understand?

kind regards

Andre
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Hi Andre, welcome back and that's always the biggest problem with holidays, they are just too short. :(

I'm not sure what you've missed or what went wrong but you should try it THIS way, if that still doesn't work replace Hardspl 1.22 for Hardspl 1.15 and try again.

Goodluck,
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
Aloha!

Well, that did work! :-)

At point

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

I choosed (damn, already forgot the concret words) the above radiobutton from the installation menu, I guess it was called "hardreset". The installation went through very fast and metioned that everything went fine.

What's the diffence now to how the phone was before? (still the same splashscreen and everything like before)

How can I verify my phone now ist hardspled?

How can I go on: just run some ROM with a .exe file from the PC?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Hi Andre,

Great it did work that way, if you want to be sure you have Hardspl in your phone just put your phone in bootloader, turn the device off and turn it on by pressing the on/off button and the camera button on the same time.

In your bootloader screen you should see that you have hardspl.

In the most rom downloads you have two files custom ruu and RUU_signed.nbh just connect your phone with your pc with active sync and run the custom ruu.

You can also flash through sd, you can find those instructions in my rom thread, see my signature.

Succes mate, ;)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
Hey... no problem at all.. that worked like hell! :)

I didn't expect it to be that easy, thank you very much.

I've flashed an original WM6.1 now... unfortunately it's an english one.

The german swisscom didn't work because it seems to verify some device-codes. and the device is also swisscom.

Do you have another german one i can try?

(there are some more original roms i didn't try, because i ecpext the "ITA" within the name to point to italy.. is it so?

regards

Andre
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Hi Andre HERE you have the latest WM 6.1 German version and yes, ITA stands for Italy, let me know if this rom works buddy. ;)

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreha:
Hi Rataplan.

This one seems to work perfectly! (Ok, one slight issue was that I coldn't activate bluetooth in the begining. he told me of a hardware error, but that also works now, thanks a lot lot lot! :-)

In the meantime i've tried you ROM. I had to figure out some different radios and it did work also, but unfortunately it was not that stable: at first making calls was possible, some later i had the same issue like in the beginning when speech wasn't transmitted. some more later it even didn't ring.

I now have only one more question: Is ist nessecary to do the flashing from Win XP or does it also work from vista/7? Actually i did it from an already outsourced old PC that i only took back for that single reason.

Kind regards

Andre
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Hakim Rahman:
not Andreha, flash ROM can be done not only on Windows XP, but also can be done on Vista or Windows 7!! to be able to synchronize the device and are also ROM flashing through the PC operating system Vista / Windows 7 you can use WMDC 6.1 ~ http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=14

I've tried to change the contact mode with "Comm Manager Settings", as you said, but nothing happens, the white screen problem in contact manager persist.

I also wanted to say that once I've unchecked the "enable new style", (the one with the abecedary at the right), it can't return to this mode recheking it again.

Anyway, thanks for your quick answer, I will investigate what is the RandomAcces in order to disable it.

Thank you again.:)
