Cannot get the new S/E ROM - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey you guys..!
I have tried several times to update my X1, but without any luck..
I know that the official S/E update service have a problem with the new ROM, but since I've newer tried to update a WM-device before, I have no idea what to do.. All attempts have failed..
Would someone be kind and give me a short How-to-do list..
I would like to update to the "normal/generic" UK-ROM, since the device is not SIM-locked and imported from the UK to me in Denmark..
I really hope someone would help..
Thanks

this is the R2A rom, it includes the updater and the HardSPL if you want to install it first (just to be safe).
http://rapidshare.com/files/192528768/X1i_RADIO_10.10.25.18.rar
this is the radio and the updater, I don't know if doing the manual rom upgrade updates it since Ihad it already updated before.
instructions are included in every rar.
for more info, do a search in the ROM forum, there's lot's of info there.

No Radio ROM version

Hi
i have been given a XDAIIs by O2 from a mate to try and correct the botch update he tried to do.
He Download the ROM update from O2's web site, run the install but something happened half way though the Radio ROM procedure and it failed.
Now there is No radio Version when GetDeviceData.exe is run and the Phone function dont work too.
I have tried to install the manufacture Radio ROM and various others, but they all fail.
My guess as there is no version on the ROM the install process falls over trying to determin what the current version is.
IS there a way around this?
If no one can help he will have to send it back under the warranty.
Doh best if i post it in the right place.
Lock/Delete plz

Reverting back to HTC ROM and SPL for warranty return?

At the point I am I need the help of experienced Users from the community.
I flashed a original HTC Wings (S730) with WM 6.1 ROM. It runs perfectly until I got a hardware problem (radio) . This is the reason I have to send it back to the official service.
Therefore I tried to go back to an official ROM from the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WINGS_WM61_Alcaline
At first I flashed the earlier backuped Bootloder via sspl-0.91-wings.exe. This seems to be okay. But as I tried to flash an official ROM from the site mentioned above, during the flashing process I've got the note 'ERROR 294 Invalid vendor ID'. What was wrong? Did I forget any step?
Please, is there anyone who can describe the correct way back to 'warranty' for a newbie?
Thanx a lot.
have you tried all the ROM's? there is one prerelease and two release ROM's.. try both of the release roms, they might be for different production models/locations.
I tried both official released ROM's (signed as 'Ship'), not the prerelease version.
and if you first flash the shiped rom (with hardspl) and when done flash the back-up of the spl
With reference to an earlier statement of bigflavour in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383617&page=17
I flashed back the original SPL at first.
Too bad It seems to be that I have a new problem now. Few minutes ago I have tried to reinstall hardSPL on the device via the well known sspl-0.91-wings.exe running on the Wings. But as I started the sspl, the device shows on the display that 'Access denied....is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate'.
Thereupon I thought I had to 'application_unlock' the device. After running the SDA_App...Unlock on my PC the display message shows succesful unlocking process. B U T, the sspl doesn't run as before.
Now, I'm totally confused. What has happened??
It's flavor, and unfortunately, I have no idea how to help you.
Probably tried the European english's spelling hehe.
Also This does seem like an odd problem, have you tried for kicks doing the factory reset to see if it will reset some of the registry and maybe fix your issues? I dont know anything about the spl's since I have no need to upgrade to 6.1, I wouldnt imagine it causing any more damage but again I dont know what all was done. I havnt followed those threads for a long time.
Thanx a lot. Apparently, the hint to make a hard reset hits the mark. Now I flashed back the HardSPL. So I'm back at the starting line . Does anyone knows if the official ROM from the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._WM61_Alcaline is the latest one and can I use it for the warranty return?
Or should I look for an original German HTC ROM?
I was a little bit to fast. I will need a German ROM definitely, because the ROM from the Wiki doesn't include a the german language option.
Is there anyone who can help me with a original HTC S730 ROM for the german market?
Thank you in advance.
Hallo HSN,
if you give me a introduction how I backup my ROM, you can have my one. I own a German HTC S730. But I am confused when I read all threads about flashing etc....
One page introduction how to back up and you can have my one.
But I think that the Repair center here in Germany, doesn't care about the Rom you have installed.

Best dutch rom

Hey, I got a MDA compact IV branded from tmobile, but its starting to get on my nerves, and I want the original theme, so I figured I've got to put a new ROM on, now what rom is the best for a Dutch tmobile MDA compact Iv?
thanks in advance
i use A.Z.T.O.R. X2 (V11)Ultimate NLD based on latest Official ROM
you can find it here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422417
there aren't many dutch roms, but this is probably the best one.
It seems to be nice and clean... Just a heavily tweaked ROM.
But these are Diamond ROM's, are they good for the MDAcompactIV?
Another thing, when the next Dutch ROM update comes from T-Mobile (if it ever comes) will I be able to update?

I also got a MDA Compact IV...since 2 weeks I run the aztor v11 rom, and man what a difference. Much faster.
Just try..
Okay, all good.
But here comes the noob question... I already dl-ed the [rar] file, there's a [exe] file in the as well as a [nbh] file. Are these the only files needed for flashing my rom? How do I do it? Do I run the [exe] file on my PC or my phone?
Tnx in advance...
Ok, I've tried two times to do the update as I just ran the [exe] file on my PC, but I get the [262] update error.
When it updating the bar sticks on 0%, as well on my phone. Luckily after detaching the battery for 3 seconds, my phone just soft resets. What now???
I've done some research but with all the different versions and languages I got really confused. I need another spl to install the [nbh] in order to update the X2 update. But I cant find a way to run the [nbh] file.
I'm also afraid that I'll ruin my MDA. So I searched for a original spl and ROM, but I can't seem to find the right one. I also unable to determine which spl I have on my MDA. It should be a dutch T-Mobile ROM (& spl???). The warranty period isn't over yet so I might need it. (But I hope not of course).
This flashing thing is really confusing...
Same problem
I have exactly the same problem trying to change the ROM from uk vodaphone to Duttys V4. The strange thing for me is that I have 2 Diamonds (his and hers) and the first one went through the process like a dream.
I'd be very grateful to find a fix

First I ran Olinex hard-spl 1.40, after that I rename the .nbh file tot DIAMIMG.NBH, copy that file to your internal storage and than flash from the internal storage. Read this
If above is still abacadabra send me a pm, then I will translate this in dutch.
best rom questions?
to find out whats best for you is to start flashing.
this question is not welcome here on this forum.
as it always end in a flame war.

Flashing without hardspl :S

Hi,
Just downloaded the new R3 UK firmware for my X1
I tried to Hard Spl my phone but it failed at 0%
But..
I thought id try flashing the firmware WITHOUT a hardspl using the microsd method.. and it worked :S is this normal?
everything seems to be working fine...
will anything happen to my phone in the future?
If it helps i was using 02 R2 firmware previously
Thanks
Adam
If I read your post correctly. You went and flashed an official SE Rom which you wouldn't need HardSPL for because they are released by SE and aren't custom roms.
You could of got the same by using the auto update service. You will only need HardSPL, is you try and flash any of the custom roms in this forum.
Well ive debranded by phone then...
and according to the turtorial flashing roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
you have to use HardSpl
I just wondered that if i didnt have a hardspl would this cause any problems with my phone.
That update would not have been available through SEUS because i have an o2 branded x1.
So am guessing there isnt going to be any problems with my phone? and if it ever breaks will it need to be flashed back to 02 R2?
Thanks

Can somebody please send a message to the mods or topic creator or something to change the title to "how to flash CUSTOM ROMs?" This would make it much easier to understand, and less of a hassle for newcomers to flash OFFICIAL Roms.

[Q] HD7s woes seveneighter

I just got an HD7 to replace my broken HD2 and I wanted to update it before using it so I did the zune updates and then attempted to use seveneighter to update form 7.5 to 7.8. The updating was fine but then many features did not work email ,wifi, messaging plus more. So I restored the phone with zune but no joy this stuff still does not work. I hard reset and still no luck. So I would like to start over and load the original rom but have not been able to find a download. I am not sure if this will fix my problem thus I am asking for advice is this just a paperweight now. Can I reload the stock rom and start over , if so where could I get a copy pf the rom?
Many many thanks
More inforamtion
I have tried several times to run seveneighter again and and I get error 80180048. So it looks like the phone is missing some language packs. I have checked all packs available but this phone is a US at&t phone and it has many more packs listed than I can find available 50-60 different ones are listed on the phone. I looked at the manual cab installation thread and only 22 packs are available. I also tried the windows phone support tool and after running it the tool states cannot be recovered please contact technical support. I also tried the disconnect method on zune to force update the phone without result.
Just install Deepshining V8 or Dynamics V2.0, and you'll be fine, just be sure to downgrade the boot loader first.
PS: Don't ask me "how to downgrade" you can use the "SEARCH" function...
Look my signature, mine it's an AT&T too.
