,Hello, this is a question I've been wondering for ages but I can't find
anything that answers clearly.

So firstly I have read in "a dictionary of japanese grammar" the のに/のには part
on which it is written that when we add the particle は to のに, it is often
contracted into には. It made complete sense to me but even then, I still find
some cases where のには wouldn't be accepted whereas には is okay. For example I
saw in the dictionary :

> 始発に乗るには四時に起きなくてはならない。

They explain that this には means 「場合には」 or 「時には」 so I believe this is the
contraction of のには. But in the following sentence :

> Huluを解約するには、どのようにするのですか？

I don't think のには would be okay. So I searched on the internet and found
somewhere that someone was saying には is a contraction of ためには.

So who should I believe? Maybe には is something completely different that just
happened to have almost the same meaning as ためには and のには？

Japanese people don't seem to know either, so I'm hoping to find someone who
has a study paper or who has done a diachronic study to find the answer to
this question

Thank you.

question
particles
Is には a contraction of のには or ためには and how did it come to be like this ?

Correct. ためには is my preference; 始発に乗るためには ( **" ため" is another noun**).  
Also nothing wrong to say 始発に乗るのには.

> But in the following sentence :
>

>> Huluを解約するには、どのようにするのですか？

In this case also, 解約するのには is actually the fully spelled version. Of course,
you can switch this nominalizing particle, の, to another noun; 解約するためには.

I feel, to use 場合 or 時, it's more natural to say 解約 **したい場合** （に）は or 解約
**したいとき** （に）は.
