Do I need downgrading (Upgrading to latest ROM)

Do I need to downgrade my device so as to upgrade to the latest ROM. Currently I have a WM5 old rom on my device.
Thanks....

Please advice !!!

My brother bought for me X1 from Leipzig Germany its factory unlocked and has no branding. But it has windows in German.
My question is can I flash english rom vithout any spl unlocking?
and if yes please give me link which english wwe rom can flashed to my device.
I have experience with Elfin and Elfin was bought from china has chinese wm so I used wwe elfin rom and directly without unlocking it flashed.
So is there any chance that I can have englisj X1 rom original not cooked that can drieclty flash to my device?

You will need to flash HardSPL for X1 first (it's sticky on this forum), then you can flash UK rom. Remember that German version of X1 have qwertz keyboard, so if you will flash UK rom then some keys will have another function then they show.

But after that hardspl when I will change to UK can I go directly SEUS to recoknized my phone as UK phone and update via website? So if somebody have experience flashed German rom to UK generic and after that tested SEUS service please share here the results.

Can somebody give me link for UK Generic non customized rom I found on forum but it says at then begingn of link Customized UK I need original genereic UK rom please help me to find also if you tell me how to dump my rom I can dume German Generic rom for share with forum

When you've done HARDSPL you can use the SE update service

One more question I have conected with SPL things.
I have experience workign with HTC TOUCH XL USPL tool and flashed lot of roms with that tool but in HTC any time you need to flash another rom you should use USPL tool and then at some stage start RUU and flash your rom.
also if you stack in bootloader or in other stage you can always recover your phone using RUU and your device default rom.
Is this possible in X1?
Lets say I have German Genereic rom deivce I want to flash to UK rom direclty without any SPL tools and stucked in some stage with error. Can I use Kovski RUU and German Genereic rom (which is the my device's defalut rom) and recover from that stage?
Thanks in advance

You should be able to yes, obviously make sure you've done hardspl before going to the UK rom.
The SEUS uses RUU to flash the rom.
If you have your own rom (such as stock german one) then it's much much easier to flash from the SD card. Jack did a decent walkthrough of that.. but just rename the file to KOVSimg.nbh and go into bootloader (volume down and reset at the same time).

is USPL available for the X1?? or its just the HD?

USPL is not available for Xperia... would be cool if it is made available at some point, though I've already flashed HardSPL!

Original Uk Firmware needed

Hi Guys
Ive had a hdd failure on my home computer and i have lost the original firmware that was on my phone and now my phone has got a problem with the ribbon cable and also has cracks so it needs to be sent back to se for repair.
my phone now has latest original firmware installed on it but also has hard spl (phone previously had v lite 6.5)
can i change back to normal spl with the current firmware?
or do i need to go back to what the phone originally had?
original firmware was generic uk R1AA017
Thanks for the help guys!

Yes, see hard-spl thread on how to change back to stock spl. For the firmware, it doesn't matter what version it is. You just have to put an official firmware on your phone and it's fine

thanks thats all i needed to know

Or just flash the official R3 Instead
SE should accept your phone back with their proper stock ROM on it...
You should be able to flash the R3 SE ROM release as this updates the bootloader to a newer stock version. Get it from here:

Don't forget to restore original spl after that

The R3 official release that I added the link for includes R3 firmware (Generic UK R3AA010), an updated stock SPL and newer radio firmware... so you shouldn't need to restore the original SPL afterwards (otherwise SE will think something fishy is going on!)

is it possible to downgrade the bootloader (so as to downgrade firmware)?

i've upgraded to the 2.x firmware without realising that i can't run the RUU file to downgrade back to 1.3x anymore. (bootloader version error)
the reason for the downgrade is because i want the apac firmware back instead of the wwe.
thanks for advice!

i got the same problem.
can someone please help?

Same problem , want to downgrade my rom but there is bootloader version error.
someone please help...

HTc have designed the Legends bootloader so you can't downgrade it fellas.
Only thing I can recommend for those of you that have accidently installed the newer bootloader is to utilise the new WWE 2.03 ROM to unbrand your device - NO ROOTING AVAILABLE AS YET THOUGH

[Q] From mango to nodo (UK T-mobile branded to Unbranded).)

I wanted to know it it's possible to revert from mango to an unbranded version of nodo. I followed the guide, but when trying to flash the memory via wp7 downloader, it wouldn't connect the modem.
Wat do?
Appreciate the help a lot!
