NIKI ROM update - newb question? - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

OK, newb question. Not yet done a ROM update on a phone and wanna make sure im doing it right before cooking my phone.. Searched for a basic guide like this on forum as to how things work, and what is compatible, but couldnt find.
Touch Dual - NIKI100 ..
Old Radio i know.. RUU Nike Radio 1.58.16.27
ROM 1.31.710.11
ROM DATE 11/16/07
Protocol ver 25.61.30.03H
From what ive read on the forums, Im guessing ive gotta do the below.. Correct me if im wrong..
1. Phone has gotta be unlocked.. Using Niki SuperCID and Security Unlocker... How to tell if it is unlocked before i do this?
2. Nike SSPL, USPL and HardSPL .. Gotta run this on phone.. Or do i gotta do this before the unlock? .. And which one to use?
Following info on this link.. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730
3. Use this radio update when flashing.. RUU Nike Radio 1.58.16.27.. from this link? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369502
- Im guessing you always have to use something compatible with the radio, therefore gotta use the right one, otherwise wont work?
4. Choose a ROM to add.. which is the best WM6.1 ROM to use?
- From what i can see, the ROM is slightly flexible, and customised to what someone needs, and isnt entirely hardware/model dependant?

Correct. Slip another company's SIM chip in. If it is unlock, it will work.
2. Nike SSPL, USPL and HardSPL .. Gotta run this on phone.. Or do i gotta do this before the unlock? .. And which one to use?

Unlock phone first before this.
SSPL first. That prepares the phone to accept another bootloader (either USPL or HardSPL). HardSPL just means it is write protected.

3 & 4 is dependent on ROM chosen. The author will advise you of which radio is needed for their ROM in their thread.
If you intend to flash HTC WM6.1 ROM, then the radio and SPL is also included in the flash. You can skip 2 above in this case. This ROM also needs SPL 1.22 or HardSPL 1.22 to work. If you have HardSPL 1.15 or HardSPL 1.16, then flashing this ROM will cause radio problems (phone or camera not working or both) until you update the SPL to 1.22

correct. it requires to be able to flash the radio stack in order to unlock it, but the radio stack of that new rom seems to be read only and flashing another radio stack is not possible at this time.
I could not find in google as well but get somewhere else with slighly different filename. Not sure the same one or not. Can somebody please confirm,

It's possible.
Hello I'm french, first sorry for my bad english.
I just bought a V1605 from england that I have immediatly unlocked.
I have tested French qtek ROM 1.18.256... but it's very slow and there are many bugs, after that I have tested a WWE qtek ROM 1.18.416... with bootloader 1.06 just for see if TCPMP was better and it is!
But I wanted the last Qtek ROM, so I have put the original ROM of my vodafone in order to downgrade bootloader to 1.04, it's very simple!
Then I've installed the latest QTEK ROM 1.35 with bootloader 1.09, and now after few very fast manipulations , I have bootloader 1.04 and radio 1.20.
So I can test every ROMs I think...
For the moment, I can see that this ROM (1.35) is very fast, and TCPMP works better but for the video it is the same than vodafone 1.20 or tytn 1.18.416 .

1.04 to current boot rom?
After downgrading to 1.04 and doing all the upgrades, is there any reason to reupgrade 1.04 to a more current boot rom?
hi there,
seems i`m not able to downgrade after after flashing the 1.35 rom. my bootloader remains 1.09 and the downgrade_spl (1.8mb rar) tool doesn`t work properly. i always have to recover my device when i try to run the upgrade. is there something i do wrong or is my downgrade_spl the wrong one?
thanks jammerlappen

Who use v3 unlock DO NOT flash cht roms

Important notice to users who wanted to use v3 cid unlocker to flash Chinese roms to a post Dec X01ht phone.
Until now the v3 unlocker still cao not manage to make your SPL to 1.04,and after flashing,your super CID just become valid by the flashing program.And what is worse,you got wrong radio rom flashed.The tool SSPL have not rtask command for you to rebuild your radio.So your phone become useless unless you can load KITL mode which is truely difficult.
Sorry pof and Des,if I have someting wrong above please tell me.I am really new here.
thanks for the information. could u pls kindly make it more clear?
is it specifically related to CHT roms or any roms other than the original ones, or even the original ones could not be flashed as well?

New radio ROM 1.38.00.11 (from trinity)

I've extracted the radio ROM from latest Trinity ROM and packaged here as a standalone NBH radio upgrade:
HERM_RADIO_1.38.00.11_Only_SSPL.rar​This radio has HTC_BOOT 0108 and GPS enabled.
Keep in mind that the safest procedure to upgrade your radio right now is:
Flash Hard-SPL v1.10.Oli on your phone
Flash the desired radio upgrade using the RUU package
Both steps have to be done with phone connected to computer through USB cable and activesync enabled, Des SSPL will be pushed into your phone when the RUU starts.
Remember that when flashing a radio only you don't need to hard-reset your phone, so no data will be lost.
Enjoy!
Excellent! Have you given this radio a work-out yet??
still flashing 92%
Edit: Flashed and working fine (see attached image), but still haven't seen any noticeable difference
What news with this radio ? most stable, battery ingrasse ?

Pof ,I understand 1.10.Oli will somehow protect us from bricking device by flashing a wrong radio.But since it is base on 1.04 ,so it will not support Radio BL 0108,so if I am now having 0108 here,and I flash this rodio 1.38,and I got a bad flash,I still can not repair my device.Is that right?
Radio-BL 0108 or something newer?
Hope the battery-duration will be better than in 1.35 Radio
@qvik123: If that happens you have two options to unbrick your device:
1) wait for a hard SPL based on 1.09 (which AFAIK Des will release soon), once you have it reflash the radio again.
2) You will still be able to flash an OS only because hardSPL will still keep the "fake" SuperCID on your device, so flash a OS image with KITL enabled and then use the KITL mehtod to unbrick your device with Platform Builder.
By any means, if **** happens do not overwrite 1.10.Oli with other bootloader.
Thanks Pof,you just answered the question which kept me thinking since Hard SPL released.Flashing this one,now by 30%.
flashed 1.01 oli, flashed 1.38.00.11 - no problem, BUT when I flashing/updating (or possibly bricking ) device, I like to know what exactly is a differences between versions, only one think I know about 1.38.00.11 is, that this version have GPS enabled. Thats all. Is any changelog, or list of changed/updated/improved features inside of roms? I know, that you just dump this rom from device, but it is really nice to know, if it is necessary. perhaps we should created one special thread with differences between versions, to better orientation (sorry if I miss this one, but I think at this time doesnt exist)... guys - thx for your work anyway
Thanks Pof I am going to upgrade.
ok a little lost on the process can I just download the 1.38 file and that will upgrade it or do i have to do something to the boot loader first? Sorry for the simple question.
yes, the question is really simple. but there is one more think you can do... read all this thread, and also this one. all necessary information is in there. and if you dont want to have 700$ paperweight, I really recommend to read all information about flashing procedures in wiki - here before you start. in any case of question or problem, do not hesitate to write some posts, but if anybody ask similar question like you, without some reading, which, yes, need a some time, then If somebody want to find any relevant and usefull information, must read about 60 % pointless posts... it is nothing personal, just for your info. forums is about people, and people keep forums alive.
you did not provide us any information about you current version of OS/ROM, BL version, for me it was easy, just extracted Hard-SPL.zip, runned ROMUpgradeUt.exe - after reset I have oli BL, then you can run HERM_RADIO_1.38.00.11_Only_SSPL.rar.... there is much much more knowledge about that, so try wiki first, it is only for you own good.

Yes definatly read the wiki etc... but also do as sinmae has done and load a HardSPL first, this is especially relevant when flashing radios.
@pof are you also running a HardSPL based bootloader??
...can somene put this ROM on Rapidshare or somewhere else, cause XDA FTP is not working

Unfortunately HTC keeps this information private, so there's no ChangeLog.
The radio was not dumped from a device, but extracted from 1.23.408.1 Italian Trinity ROM.

The download server was down now running!!!!!
Just upgraded to radio 1.38 from 1.35 and I am running xdalive first release WM6 on O2 3g. Since the upgrade I am pretty sure the phone signal is now stronger as I have tested it in areas around my home and outside that got no signal, especially near my pc. I can now make a call next to my pc with 3 bars on the signal meter! The signal does not drop so much, I will test further and report back any problems, but so far so good.
Please let me know how you get on.

I will let you know on that one as I had it fully charged for the radio upgrade. I will keep an eye on it and report back.
I was about to down grade my radio back to .1.27 or earlier beacause of my UTMS reception in Brisbane (AU) and also the battery life. So i will also let you all know how this goes.

Hi & welcome!
Ok..understand your problem and this is your first post and maybe you thought, "aah nice forum, He WM6 that looks nice, lets flash it on my device" ..Right simple ah? But..what you forgot..is to backup or read more about flashing..You cant reset it back to the original (what you wanna call it) "firmware"...

Well, this is not EXACTLY correct. Check out THIS LINK for downgrade directions. You will need to get the original ROM from somewhere. It is possible that it is HERE IN THE WIKI. Chances are that one of the files there has the same Radio, IPL & SPL. You will just need to find the OS, if it is not in there. (In fact, based on the specs, it looks like the third from the bottom of the English ones - Vodafone?) To flash, you will need dutty's good nbh tool to unpack the ROM, becuase you will need to do the IPL and SPL separately from the OS and radio. See THIS LINK for that info. If you don't want to get into all the unpacking, you *could* do the SPL downgrade first, then the upgrade, but it is generally good practice to downgrade SPL as a LAST step since you lose the hardspl protection as soon as you do it. Finally, use the google search link in my signature if you need to find anything else. Good luck.

Like Todd said it is possible.
Check out the links in my signature and read alot before actually doing so.....
That is a practice tip
The Mr VanX guide alias HTC Hermes guide has complete steps to do this!
Good Luck
Ok, tell me if i correctly understand..
I found the correct rom, after i have to unpack this rom with dutty's good nbh tool..(i have to remove Ipl & Spl?).
After the unpack i have to pack again the rom without ipl and spl and flash it in my Herm??!!is it correct? And in the end i have to change ipl and spl(is it a down grade?).
Last questions yet,
What i have to verify first that i start all this work on my herm to not brick my Herm?
Thank you to all again for the help that you are giving to me
All the best
I may have made it more complicated. That is the process I use.
Best thing to do is simply follow Mrvanx guides.
First downgrade the OS/Radio using THIS GUIDE
Then downgrade SPL/IPL using THIS GUIDE
That is all - as long as you have HardSPL, it is VERY hard to brick your device. So, do that last.
Is possible to flash only the rom i need following the guide, and leave my device with the current hardspl ipl and spl?
Thank you

Yes. The only reason to remove HardSPL is for warranty. Just for clarification, there is no Hard IPL, only Hard SPL, but I know what you mean.
Basically, 99% of the time most of us flash we are only flashing OS or Radio. SPL and IPL don't change often. Most cooked ROMs are released as OS only.
Ah ok perfect, i'm not interested to the device warranty, because i bought it on ebay from Uk, and there is no warranty on my device, so i can only flash os without ipl and spl..
Thank you very much fo all the help

No worries.
To unpack the exe, just use winrar and open it up. You will get a RUU_signed.nbh and an RUU. Just use the nbh file with the custom_ruu.
Yes, you can downgrade radio to 1.47 safely. No worries. I tried 1.51 too - didn't work out for me either. back to 1.50 for me.

Tnx my friend
I have done the flashing, it works perfect.. now i learn the way, i can flash every kind of Os in my tytn following this way?for example o2(Uk) os can be put in my device?
Where here in xda forum can i find the software(for eample the software that shaps have included in his Os) for my device customization?like today home,weather widget, or the automatic operator configurator etc etc?

HTC Radar flashing custom ROM

Hello. I want to buy a HTC Radar and I want flash custom ROM because I need BT transfer, File Manager and other good stuff. So I must install HSPL with Y cable and Gold card ? Or maybe I dont understand ? (sorry for bad English)
depends if radar has been supported MIDs
List of supported MIDs:
“PI061100, “PI061000"
if not supported, then you must install HSPL with Y cable.
Here is everything explained ... good luck
If your MID (you can find it in SPL) is supported, you just flash SPL, then HSPL and then ROM (you may need flash proper radio too).
If you have T-Mobile or AT&T Radar, you have to use y-cable for SPL flashing. HSPL and ROM can be flashet from computer.
It may look hard, but it's pretty easy.
Ok. Thank you for fast reply

after downgrade SPL to 2.5 , you need to install the Radio .nbh ,
tell me if i'm wrong
You have to install the correct radio for the ROM. It should say with each ROM what radio it needs...
There is an exe with a wizard that will install the radio, just like the ROM...
