Why unclokcing Ext-ROM ?

Can some one tell what usage ids after unlock the ext-rom ?
Thx a lot
You can put your fav applications into this ext rom and it will install it automatically the next time you do a hard reset.,
Do I have to edit the config.txt or do I just drop the cabs into the folder?

Well, I guess there is no way to get apps on Ext ROM installed directly to SD Card, on hard reset!?
Or there is?

WM 6 ext roms?

Hi guys. Here's the deal. Can you flash a WM5 ext rom in a WM6 device. I have a wizard and i'm just wondering. is it possible? or do I need a wm6 ext rom? OH and ive searched my head off and i cant find anywhere with the aforementioned ext roms..........any help? Thanks in advance.
You can (However you may need to use itsutils yourself), however note that software and settings in WM5 ext rom may not be fully compatible with WM6.
btw, you can just use Total Commander and navigate to \Extended_ROM and make a backup to files there to your SD card, then install what you need after flashing WM6, that's the same unless not automatic.

sorry to butt in but WST allows to copy all files (or just some) to the Hard Drive in an easy manner
btw, WST can also be used to flash an extended rom in .nb format (decrypted as a partition image)

*** Flash X1 without PC - Micro SD Method ***

This is useful if you load a bad image and cannot make an activesync connection for RUU flashing method.
This method works for any 6.1 and 6.5, and even radio rom.
*** Some Kingston brand may have problem to use SD method, no solution other than use RUU method ***
0. Make sure x1 is hard-spl first
1. Make sure yr micro-sd is formatted w/ fat-32
2. rename the image file (normally "ruu_signed.nbh") to Kovsimg.nbh, copy that to the micro-sd, and put that it yr X1
3. Make sure X1 is disconnect to your PC to avoid goes to serial mode (AC power source is OK)
4. Bring x1 to boot-loader mode by turning off the x1 completely. Hold the "volume down" button on the right, and hold the power on button until you see the tri-color screen.
5. Then follow the on-screen instruction
Thx, always using this system.

This could be a problem with you're ROM language.
My xperia was english, so had no problem. 2 Dutch xperia's had this problem.
Just flashed SPL first, then flashed the english rom. And now the sd card method works on the 2 dutch xperia's.

I also got the same problem when using the rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2392404&postcount=1 but the flash of microSD method ran pretty well with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218&page=6
Does the device automatically reboot after it's installed? I just used this method and the device currently says:
'KOVSIMG.nbh - OK
OS - OK
Update Complete
UPDATE SUCESS'
It hasn't done anything since.
spr33 you take the battery out, put it back in and switch on
I'm having a few problems, I have the HardSPL installed but when i load the rom image on the sd card and reboot the bootloader shows a message of "no image found". Is there something im doing wrong? The sd card is formatted to fat32 and it only has the images on it

I was having the same problem as you, I tried everything finally I just used the kovsky RUU and used the pc update tool with it. it worked great. just make sure you take your sd card out before you do it or it will keep trying to search the card and say no image.
Problem X1 rom chang on english
I can't change rom on my X1 i have formated card on FAT32 my file name is ruu_signed.nbh i chnge the name on "Kovsimg.nbh" my device is set to tri color bar and on the screen i have Loading... and nothing else
can you help me ????
It works, I'm free and thank you
After weeks and weeks aof reading, reading, reading, making copious notes so that I had the process sorted from start to finish, I decided to bite the bullet tonight, yes, New Years Eve (well it is my new X1 after all ).
OliNex Hard SPL worked a charm, then during the micro SD method, the dreaded "no image file" message appears. RATS!
Numerous FAT32 processes, different ROMS and still the same message.
Tried the cable version using RUU and viola, I now sport the fantastic Touch IT v2.2 and NO VODAFONE
I would like to thank the more senior members for their cutting comments to witless noobs that made me read, search and read again.
Also to itje for his great ROM - have only just had a cursory scan so far as only just finihsed synch, and running like a dream. Donation certainly coming your way!
HAPPY NEW YEAR ONE AND ALL at XDA Developers from a very happy revitalised X1 owner!

Has anyone more of an idea why the SD card method is causing so many to come up with the "No image file" message" ?
The USB version works for me, just would like to know the reason for error message - in case need to use it one day
BIG QUESTION:
Why some people can't flash from microSD card ??
I had the same issue
After a lot of trial and error, testing and testing, I arrived to this conclusion:
IMPOSSIBLE TO FLASH WITH microSD METHOD
(Nothing happens, "serial" message or "No image found" message popped up)
a) When I used an incorrect format (other than FAT32) on any brand card
b) With two Kingston cards properly formatted
I have successfuly flashed my X1 with unbranded cards and sandisk cards,
but after many attempts and format variants I NEVER achieved a successful flashing with kingston cards
Interesting...
Hi guys! i tried 2 flash my x1 ending in f***d up device.
I did the following:
1) running the hard_spl. The flashing started and at about 50% it stopped went back to the stripes screen telling me file not found...serial....all the things you guys described in the forum.
2) I created a card with a Kovsimg.nbh and restarted the device. Result was the same: File not found!!! but i did all like in the tutorial.
3) I tried again with hard_spl: First I got an Error 282 then 262. The device changes from stripes to grey screen the bar shows 0% ......thats all.
any suggestions??????????????????

Please help!! Flashing error!!

Well, i can't believe it... I have a problem with X1 and i want to flash the generik UK rom, so to restore SPL... But i can't flash any rom!!! I get a message "No image file"... I have flashed over 30 times... I put the rom in the storage...The storage is in FAT32 format... The battery is full.... Why this happens??????? If i can't fix this, the phone will be useless!!!

Hi, did you change the extension from .image to .nbh? and when you put the nbh file on ur storage card did you rename it full to kovsimg.nbh ?

Finally, (thx God) i found the sollution!! The problem was the Kingston memory card!! I used a sandisk, and everything went good....
