Flashing without hardspl :S - XPERIA X1 ROM Development

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.

Stuck At 28%

I know there are others experiencing the 28% death wall while trying to flash WM6, but there doent seem to be any specific solutions to this.
I have a Dopod D810 and has already installed 1.30 olipro. Just trying to flash to the official WM6 ANZ Rom. No luck.
Any suggestions guys?
Should just be a very straight forward procedure. Flashing a Dopod with an official Rom.
should be, but it's not... mine is Dopod asia, and stuck at 28% when flashing. Not too sure, but really seemed to me that it was something related to hard-spl. After the 28% error, i reflashed an unofficial rom and tried the official again.
eventually it worked for me.
i guess you don't technically need to manually enter hard-spl first before flashing official ROM.. if anything went wrong i guess you could send it back to them..
safest is to use a modified RUU so it just flashes ROM without IPL + SPL.. i thiiiiiink problem is something to do with SPL
which unofficial rom did u reflash it to? I've been going back and forth with AX3L_OS v3.0.0.2 and the official ANZ dopod rom.
tried about 5 times now. still trying. each time it fails at 28% it's another 10 minutes to flash backto the unofficial rom.
maybe if i try to trce ur steps exactly it might work.
i was flashing to some pdaviet ROM, but i don't think that would make any difference from ax3l's...
have you tried flashing the official ROM with a modified RUU, or you really want the whole package...
If you're just trying to keep everything official i guess you could try to flash the official rom without manually entering bootloader and take your chances. Being that its an official ROM i guess it's safer, or at least covered in warranty..
One question, why don't you try to flash to official WM5 ROM, then to official WM6.. since technically it's supposed to work that way
seriously, i'm not sure why you'd want the official one though.. it's nothing special
Yeah I've tried flashing back to the official WM5 and then WM6, same story.
Tho I havent tried flashing the official WM6 through modified RUU, mainly coz i dont know how to.
Also, In the AX3L version of WM6, there doesnt seem to be a phonepad input method. only keyboard and block recongniser and one other one. Is that coz it's a modified rom, or does WM6 not have the phone pad input. if that's the case i can forget about flashing to WM6 all together.
can't remember if official wm6 has phonepad, but you can just install a cab for it, so it's not a big deal.
look on my site for a link to modified RUU official ROM... instructions are here
i had a lot of problems being stuck at 28%
what eventually i got it to flash to the aus rom was i used SPL 1.20 then it seemed to flash fine.
for some reason my phone doesnt like any other version of SPL besides the one on the latest aus rom either, i flashed to a cooked rom and couldnt flash back until i had put spl 1.20 back in then flashed back to the aus rom.
I have the same problem with 28% stucking
I try to reflash but I still have the same
do you have hard-spl? if so, which version? If you do, flash back a cooked ROM..
if not, you need to try to flash official ROM..
if neither is working, use splxploit. I think all links you need are in this thread already
I have a same problem.
I was upgraded from WM5 to Hong Kong Official WM6 chinese ROM, then I want to change to Official English ROM, I did the Hard-SPL 1.3 and get the SuperCID, but when upgrading the WM6 English officeial ROM, this was stuck at 28%.
Now I was able to flash back to WM5 rom, but I world like to Upgrade to WM6 official ROM, anyone help?
I had this problem when upgrading to the Australian WM6 official HTC Release. The way around it is to run the Trinity Service Provider & CID unlock program from the link below. Dont know why but to use either release, Dopod or HTC WM6 you must run this tool first.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Trinity/Tools_and_Programs/HTC_Trinity_SIM_CID_Unlock_v1.zip
Hope this helps
you don't *have* to CID unlock your device to use these upgrades..
again, sometimes it gets stuck, sometimes it seems to work.. you can just keep trying.. mine magically worked after a while. the most sure method is to use a modified RUU, of which there's a few on the forums and a few threads regarding these issues..

HI, Thank for your reply, how can I do the modified RUU?
Hi all,
I have success to flash the WM6 official ROM.
this is my experience:
To flash the Radio ROM first, I has flash the 1.50.08.11 Radio ROM.
Then to download the Dutty NBH Tool to take off the Radio DOM of WM6 official ROM.
Then to flash the modify ROM.
Now, my phone is running WM6.

Learn something new everyday. Never knew that simply modifying the RUU would itself allow the updates. Just tried it, and yes it works also.

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.

Problem with Upgrading.

I want to upgrade my diamond to the 1.93,but I can't.
I have tried using the signed Hard-spl and Unsigned Hard Spl each time it finishes in a minute and says that it has successfully completed but when the phone restarts,it is on the same rom. I have even tried the official rom upgrade from HTC E-club,that just gives me an error and guides me how ot get it back, please help
I know that its is pretty strange,I have searched but I have not seen a similar problem
Bump,sorry I really want to upgrade
Sounds like you've flashed the Hard-spl but not a ROM
After you flash unsigned Hard-spl, you need to flash any of the ROMs you like from the Rom Development forum after that. The Hard-spl merely opens your phone up so it can be flashed with another ROM but does not contain a ROM with and in itself.
i know that I am not stupid
the hardspl didn't work becuase I have entered the bootloader mode and it didn't say Olinex 40 ,or something like that,and like i said I tried flashing the offical rom from htc e club and that didn't work

Will Hard SPL permanently stay even after...ROM Flashing/Hard Reset?

Here are my questions:
1) Will Hard SPL permanently stay even after...ROM Flashing/Hard Reset?
(I prefer it to stay because I don't want to reinstall after every new custom ROM)
2) If I update to ITJE's awesome Touch-IT V5 ROM, can I go back to the R2A firmware simply using SEUS? (Meaning I don't have to backup my ROM to revert back)
Thank you for your time.
yes to number 1 not sure about number 2

****You can simply download your rom image from PavelsX1 ROMS Thread and flash with this one just rename it to KOVSIMG.nbh and copy to root MicroSd******
Hope i helped you
So are you telling me that in order to use SEUS to update to firmware R3A once it comes out, I would need to reinstall SPL (the original SPL)?
So...if I reinstall Stock SPL (the original SPL for warranty reason), will I be able to use SEUS to update to official ROM R3A (while my X1a is using Touch-IT v5.04)?

No, first you should go back to the Official ROM ie. R2A and then reinstall StockSPL in order to get the R3A via SEUS

I'm loving touch it
the thread is currently closed but right now it's running so fast xperia and eveyrything I only dont know why for instance if I talk and my ear is touching the screen this notification tab always pops out or if I try to click on the battery status on the main page it always pops out do you get that too?
what a load if sillyness.
Yes SPL should stick. there's some instances where it may get overwritten by a stockspl I think, (if a released rom has a newer version) but it's pretty unlikely.
no you don't need to change the SPL to go back to using SEUS
It should allow you to flash the latest straight away, I've done it a few times. However if you want a specific locale or language version then it would be a good idea to flash the correct rom from Pavels thread.

Currently I'm using Touch-IT WM6.5 Beta 2.0, I've tried to get update via SEUS without get back to Official ROM or StockSPL, as you said, but it seems the SEUS didn't recognize my X1, my X1 just freez at the Bootloader screen & the SEUS just in the Identifying Process without any ending. And at the second time I tried it, the SEUS just freez at the "Follow the Instructions below" screen.
Are you sure with what you've done Fards?
im certain.
I've done it a couple of times now. some people seem to have issues with seus,even from stock rom.
have you got a different computer you could try it on?
have you tried putting the x1 in bootloader mode first to see if it makes a difference?
reading the 6.5 thread it seems some people are having issues with flashing other roms afterwards, so maybe that's connected, if so then try one of the released stock roms first ?

I haven't tried with another computer Fards, I was using my laptop which ever successfull upgrade my X1 from R1A to R2A using SEUS and even just for check for updates without any errors (I've done it a couple times when using official ROM). I'll give a try with another one if I've time, but I'm not sure it's my computer issue.
Certainly I'm always putting the X1 in bootloader fisrt before connect it to PC and continue the SEUS process.
Have you ever tried this WM6.5 ROM to get update using SEUS successfully?
Thanks for ur time Fards..

Help!My Blackstone fails to accept a WM6.5 rom, as it used to the past!

Hi guys, I've been using the Energy roms quite often and I can say I did not fail to upgrade any of the updates. Today, my Blackstone "freezed" while I was surfing on the internet using opera, I took off the battery and I turned it on again but no success, so I decided to upgrade the rom (I was using the 25th Dec Rom). I followed the same procedure as always and when the installation ended the phone failed to boot. It reached at the stage where you are asked to enter the pin code, I typed it and then "nothing"! It kept frozen no matter what I was trying to do. I did several hard resets, I re-installed the latest rom (both versions) but nothing
Anyone knows how to fix this issue????
I need to say that in trying to fix this issue, I installed an old rom which was based on Windows 6.1 and the phone worked just fine, but the whole rom was so old, so I could not stay with that one. This means that the phone is not broken, right?
I also followed someone's here suggestion to go back to the original stock rom, hard reset and then install again the WM 6.5 roms. But again, this did not change anything. Is there a way to make the phone "accept" the WM 6.5 roms, as it used to accept them before???
Please help me cause I cannot live without this phone!!!
Thanks in advance for all those experts who are willing to share their suggestions with me!

Have you tried various wm6.5 roms, possibly as bad download? Obviously I'm assuming you have either HSPL on device or you re-used USPL before flashing rom?
Did you flash back to original stock rom & SPL? i.e. rom and SPL which was on device when you bought it?
I had the same problem on the same rom, flashed stock rom then back to energy's. Been working fine ever since
Did you do a hard reset after installing energy rom too?

Thank you very much for your response! I followed your suggestion to go back to the stock rom and spl and then flash cooked rom, although Energy roms still refused to install after all this procedure! I don't know why, because they have been working and installed just fine in the past. I suceed on flashing a Miris rom, not the latest one but an old one I had in my computer and fortunately it worked! So, according to the results of my experiment, my phone accepts WM6.5 roms, but not Energy roms! I will be waiting for an update of Energy roms to see if the new version will be accepted by my phone!!!
Thanks again for the assistance!

Thanks for the response, read what I wrote in my response to the other friend!
I got similar issues before, the phone just couldn't boot or hard reset itself after one or two days with many different 6.5 ROMs. Did an mtty task 29 then it looks good now for a week. If it still failed I would follow Fallen Spartan's suggestion to flash stock ROM+SPL.

hmmm, after returning to stock rom & SPL. What was your SPL in bootloader? Did you follow dummies guide afterwards and use USPL or HSPL before trying to flash NRG rom? Did you try a different rom? Whats your current SPL?
