yes, the xperia seems to have a normal HTC SPL... so it will probably need a hardspl. =)
[size=+2]UPDATE: RELEASE TIME[/size]
[size=+2]NOTE: This is NOT a SIM unlocker - it also doesn't unlock Security for other radios. if you need that, GO HERE[/size]
UPDATE - NEW: 0.78.OliNex Hard-SPL, I was asked to help with this as 0.78 seems to work better for some newer devices. it's the attachment xperia078_2.zip - to flash this over your existing Hard-SPL, you can just use customruu or SD flash. you can also flash it via SSPL (such as Xperia-SSPL-Manual EXE) or if you overwrite NBH file in X1_HardSPL_v1 after running the exe.
thanks for any donations, you can see the donation link in our signature - the big link saying "elite project".
Instructions to flash Hard-SPL:
it's recommended you run the basic package, and don't flash the other attachment (MFG SPL - it is only for hackers).
0a) make sure you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6&DisplayLang=en
0b) if you have vista, WMDC update is recommended: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty folder.
2) it is recommended you download only the X1_HardSPL_v1.zip unless you want to tinker with MFG SPL (MFG SPL 0.52 is a separate attachment).
3) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!
4) run X1_HardSPL.exe. (if you want to flash MFG SPL: at this point replace the extracted RUU_Signed.nbh with the MFG version of RUU_Signed.nbh)
5) follow steps in the RUU, and check on the device for prompts after PC shows loading bar.
6) it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.52.OliNex.MFG (this is SSPL!).
7) Hard-SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
8 ) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 0.72.OliNex (or 0.52.OliNex MFG).
NOTE: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!
to enter bootloader mode to see version: with the device turned OFF, press and hold the volume down button along with the power button, then release the power button, and finally release volume down button when bootloader tricolour screen appears.
NOTE 2: anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically(your device doesn't go to tricolour screen), please copy Xperia-SSPL-Manual.exe from the Xperia-SSPL-Manual.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is in SSPL (tricolour screen saying 0.52.OliNex), run RUU on the PC (i.e. the rest of the hardspl package) manually.
NOTE 3: this is unsigned Hard-SPL. also, this has overwrite protection, if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, a stock SPL downgrade package is also available here - scroll down!
NOTE 4: do not use this RUU to flash anything else! this is only intended for flashing the Hard-SPL. use Xperia CustomRUU to flash other ROM images. for example this version: http://rapidshare.com/files/164933503/X1_CustomRUU.zip
***
IMPORTANT: extra Xperia-specific notes: the prerelease roms out there in the X1 ROMs thread are not going to flash on retail devices because the radios they include are only flashable on prerelease devices ("Security unlocked" message in SPL can be seen on these). so what you need to do is repack the NBH without the radio - this will only work with Hard-SPL though, as repacking breaks the HTC sign on the NBH file.
I had a tester upload a repackaged UK image, which will flash fine. you can find it in the x1 roms thread. =)
***
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:
- read the instructions.
- read the instructions.
- read the instructions.
- if you get connection error in RUU after the device goes to tricolour screen, then try a different USB port, also do not use USB hub, you can also try rebooting your PC, and can try using another PC. read the thread for even more tips that I don't remember now. also you can try unticking advanced network functionality in start menu / settings / connections / usbtopc applet.
- if hardspl EXE won't run, and you are on vista, try to right click it and use "run as Administrator" option
- if SSPL-Manual.exe or enterbootloader.exe fails to run (says missing component or similar), try a hard reset of the device.
***
extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons.
step by step:
- this is ONLY for warranty reasons. i.e. the device needs repair and you have to send it to htc to get it serviced. if you plan to restore hardspl then don't even bother flashing this stock package, unless you are some kind of hacker/dev
- IMPORTANT: be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
- now the steps
1. download the stock spl package from this post.
2. download X1_HardSPL_v1 too, from this post.
3. run the hardspl package, but do not press Next button i.e do not go ahead with flash yet.
4. at this point, take the extracted stock SPL, a RUU_Signed.NBH file, and overwrite the other RUU_Signed.NBH in hardspl package.
5. go on with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour screen with 0.52.OliNex version), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+1. to verify, enter bootloader (see description above in this post), and check version number on tricolour screen. it should say 0.72.0000.

so, let us know if you have a prerelease device to test on... we looked in this forum and saw several people who have one. thanks.

What is a SPL ?
Does anyone have a working version of the hardspl for the X1 so we can try it? Thanks

my hera 100 is in french and i need to use it in english,i ve search the forum i cant find one.pls i need a direct link to download this english rom.thanks in advance
You searched for Herald ROMs?
A quick search lead me to this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/23139691/RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_1.8.405.1_02.71.90_Ship.exe
Your phone is still in the wrong language so you'll have to either USPL or HardSPL but BEFORE you do that, is your phone's SPL/IPL 4.0 or higher? (Check by holding the camera button down and pressing the soft reset button.) If not, DO NOT USE USPL or HardSPL. Use the Goldcard method. (Search for it.)

error 294 invalid vendor id
i tried to flash the rom, this is the message i gets error 294 invalid vendor id.pls i need another rom with no vendor id,or if there is any thing i can do pls tell me
You'll have to USPL or HardSPL and remove the SPL from that ROM I gave you, in order for it to bypass the vendor ID. Make sure you have an SPL of 4.0 or higher before you try, either. Search the forum for more information about this.
uspl or hardspl

Good work..
This is probably not the right place to post this question, but here goes.
I am trying to run the Hard-SPL on my Tmobile HTC Touch Pro 2. I have tried and get this error msg. ""Hard-SPL is for non-commercial purposes only, we have detected that you appear to already have unlocked another device, if you wish to unlock commercially, please e-mail [email protected] or [email protected] to discuss solutions" . I downloaded this program from http://thewingster.com/howflashtp2rom.aspx web site.
I have emailed the two people that it refers to but no answer. I am assuming that they are the people that wrote that software. Is there another version of the Hard-SPL that i can use so I can start experiencing the windows mobile 6.5 ROM (cooked roms)? and LOST. HELP!
Thanks
this is the best place to ask http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578660
If you see the Hard SPL thread, you will find that you need to contact cmonex / Olipro via the support.htc-unlocks.com website.

X1 problem to hardSPL for newer SPL version 0.78.0000
Hi, I am ALi , sorry to bother, but just done some HardSPL on my X1,
last time the SPL ver was 0.78.0000
i read many of method to flash a newer ROM must HardSPL first their X1,
the problem is, I had already HardSPL it to SPL ver 0.72.0000, the process was a success
but
it stucked/bricked at tri-color mod, so i had it settled from
forum. xda-developers. com/showthread. php?t=455553 thread reported by MALIK,
i noticed that before down grading my X1, the ROM ver was UK_GEN_R3AA010,
but
after HardSPL to ver 0.72, i cant flash the original ROM UK_GEN_R3AA010 back, instead of that only ROM UK_GEN_R1AA017 are working with my current flashed SPL ver 0.72.
I tried to Hard SPL to 0.52 Olinex version (i didnt find any 0.72Olinex!! just 0.52 Olinex, where can i found the 0.72 ver of olinex?? does the 0.72Olinex really exist?? i am so much confiused now and really tired of trying to make it work in almost a week!!) so many time but fail, by USB, by SDcard (also try to replace my SD-HC4gb to Nokia SD 256Mb) neither of that method work!!
please help...
i am desprate to implement newer ROM on my X1 so called Kovsky....
please admin/engineers/developers help.... my head are getting bolder than b4 huhuhuuuuuu........

p/s: i am uploading some of my pic shot while the problem persist right now to photobucket, but i am affraid that i didnt have any permission to attach th pic since i was a newbee....
The hardSPL 0.72Olinex can be found here (X1_HardSPL_v1.zip):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
Also there is a detailed describtion on how to hardSPL your device:

For questions you can try the search button here, if you can't find any on this subject (which I doubt, because the question has been asked more than once in the thread) reply to the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
I've flashed my X1 with hardSPL and back to stock SPL a number of times, never without succes. From 0.720000 to 0.72Olinex to 0.720000 and from 0.780000 to 0.72Olinex.
So when you can't hardSPL from your pc there must be something wrong with the connection between pc and X1.
If you want a newer ROM with stock SPL, connect your phone with stock SPL 0.720000 to SEUS and SEUS will automatically update SPL to 0.780000. After that you can flash R3A ROM.
The other way through hardSPL and the manual download of R3A from PavelX1's sticky.
I tried restore my software using SEUS but it says that I already have the lastes software (but I have ENERGY ROM 6.5)
the past version of SEUS had an option to flash again but the new one doesnt have.
CAN someone help ???

Download you stock ROM from PavelX1's sticky thread and flash it...
Tnx you saved me from hours of searching
Hi Lokhato,....
thankx for the advice,... if ou wont tell me about the SEUS, sure my X1 i declared it DEAD!!! I was accidently HardSPL it to 0.72.0000 i think...., because of i tried so many times to HardSPL the OLinexSPL to my X1 but it aint workin. but then when i replace the RUU_signed.nbh that got version 0.72.0000stockSPL it worked AND THEN it STUCKED at the boot screen says that please wait, continue to upgrade ROM.... damn i resolved it...
so my step on recover to the latest stock SPL 0.78.00 are like this,...
1. download the SEUS from XPERIA website.
2. try to READ and FOLLOW the instruction stepbystep. even whenever the application ask you to restart the PC/LAPTOP, please make it done so....
3. whenever SEUS asked u to enter the bootscreen, MAKE SURE you take out the SD out from your phone. and let the SEUS flash the OriSPLver 0.78.0000
4. then it blinks several times after the progress bar finished, and it also stucked at bootscreen saying to continue updating ROM.
5. in this situation, please flash back your ROM with ROM UK_GEN_R3AA010 not the R1 or R2 ROM. so to manually flash the R3 ROM, copy the R3 image file to your freshed format SD and named it kovsimg.nbh
6. so put the SD in X1 and soft reset the X1 by pressing the reset button with your stylus at the back panel of X1.
7. let it load the image whenever it enter the boot screen again
8. press the power button to confirm upgrade ROM.
9. it should state there SUCCESS!! and you must HARD-RESET the X1.
9. waitt...... and wait...... be very patient, take a break... let it run.....
10. you are DONE!!
enjoy your original flashed ROM,...
if you not like it,
from this point you can just simply HardSPL it to 0.72Olinex by downloading the X1_HardSPL_v1.zip
then go get another ROM and repeat step 5.
as my observation...
SPL 0.72.0000 can flash img from R1,
R2 I dunno can flash or not, never try it...
SPL 0.78.0000 can flash img from R3
HardSPL it to OLinex ver 0.72OLinex ver, then you r good to go to flash any ROM you like!!
damn what a hard week!!! at last i got it to flash the HardSPL on my X1
last but not least.... just want you all to know that i was doing those step above from my mom's laptop current spec was CentrinoDuo, mine that always hanging whenever try to flash any SPL was on SempronAMD Laptop + always BlueScreen error even after i freshed repair my .NetFramework ver3.5sp1. so if you facing any problem on SPL our X1, try to done the upgrading on another PC/laptop, i believe that Intel based processor was more stable than AMD i think...
Don't know if you can use the SD-card flash method when on stock SPL.
A couple of things to know:
0.720000 is stock SPL
0.780000 is an updated stock SPL
0.72Olinex is hardSPL
Did you try to flash with CustomRUU instead of sdcard? I attached it to this post, just unpack and place the ROM you want to flash in the same folder. You can find the ROMs in PavelX1's sticky.
What does your bootloader say now? And you can't boot your phone?

but
- last time my original 0.78.0000 cant do HardSPL
- after accidently flash the 0.72.0000 by using RUU but at the same time i copy the stock0.72 SPL to RUU folder,,,... or my mistaken to copy to SD also by renaming it to kovsimg.nbh i think, just cant remember at that time, and still cant HardSPL + hangging somemore....
- after SEUS updates to newer stock SPL 0.78.0000 like before it was very easy to HardSPL with 0.72OLinex..... wonder y.....
hmmm... CustomRUU??... i think if i try that method would always get the ERROR code rather then success huhuhuuu....
for now i just stick to flashing ROM using Nokia SD 256Mb if the img can fit it in....
thank you so much anyway bro...

sorry i miss out to answer this...
my bootloader shows SPL-0.72 Olinex
already flash some of software img like firestorm... nrg... but still cant suit me, now just flash back to it original state WM6.1.....
you got any suggestion about the best,smooth,cool&light ROM for me??
another thing i noticed that, the ROM that been cooked doesnt seems have Xpanel.cab installed, so that our X button panel will be useless, or did i miss something? huhuhuuuu
-ALi
Several roms do have panel manager installed so there is a use for the X Button
in case it is not cooked in you can add it manually. Also XMapper is available for alternative uses of the button...
Finally, if Silent_UC is supported by the rom you can bulk install many apps, registry edits, etc. after flashing the rom or afterwards. Just search...

hardSPL can be done without a problem from 0.780000. I did it several times after I brought it to repairs.
In post #5 in the EnergyROM thread you can find a link on how to install the panelmanager, from R3A and X2. This works with all roms which don't have the panelmanager installed.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
I am very happy now! Just managed to update my SE X1 after SEUS 0.78!. As others suggested downloaded R3AA010 (APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R3AA010), but used NBHUtil to extract ROM. That was a mistake! I simply renamed R3AA010 to Kovsimg and put it in my SD 2 Gb card. Ufff, after 2 weeks of endless reading the forums and thying this and that... Finally!!!!

It happened to me once.
Regarding you have "manila version 2.5.20113030.0" and your OS version, you have a custom ROM installed, and this means also you have HSPL installed in your device.
To get your device recognized by SE update service, you have to flash a *stock* ROM, and also a stock SPL.
After doing these two steps, your device will be recognized.
You must be familiar with flashing ROMs, and you should search the whole forum for stock ROMs and SPL, before attempting to flash anything..(I'm not responsible for any damage)
As a suggestion, refer to this thread for a detailed info on the subject
and also this thread for Stock SPL (see "extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons." section)

Hello please help my Sony Ericsson X 1 Rom 1.05.931.10 Radio 1.06.25.29 Manila 2.5.20212114.0 Wi-Fi connection is working, but I can not open a webpage or use any program that uses the Net also how enter the Settings text messages do not know where please help please
sorry for late reply... but can u thread me to stock rom and stock spl plzzz....
Unfortunately, the Xperia X1 is now an old device, and the links to its stock items are rare and not working any more.
I managed to find links for the stock ROM (Generic UK WWE, latest version provided by SE which is R3A)
Here it is:
Part 1
Part 2
After you download the two parts, rename the file extension from .image to .nbh, and if you are using the SD card method, rename the file to kovsimg.nbh
Be sure to read about flashing ROMs and changing the SPL, if you did it the wrong way you may damage your device.
thanx i'll try and tell u soon...
