Please help: flashing ROM

I read the wiki and all the other stuff that I was supposed to before I tried to flash a ROM.
I am stuck on a step and could use some help. I downloaded the ROM to my cpu. I noticed it was a .rar file, so i also downloaded winrar so I could open it.
Execute the .exe file you downloaded with the ROM. (If the ROM you downloaded only comes with an nbh file, download the CustomRUU for the Kaiser here. Put KaiserCustomRUU.exe and you nbh in the same directory and run KaiserCustomRUU.exe)

I cant get past this step. Can someone please advise.

don't know why u would get stuck ...
create new folder and place the .nbh and kaisercustomruu.exe in same folder on pc. make sure phone connected to pc via active sync and connection is established (icon turns green in actuve sync). now run the kaisercustomruu.exe from pc and let the action began.
p.s. i do sincerely hope u flashed hardspl onto ur device be4 flashing. don't know what that is? plz stop flashing and read wiki again for ur sake.

People just don't read. Did you try extracting the contents in Winrar to your desktop?

I did the hardspl already.
when i try to extract the folders it asks me for a password.

passwords are usually located on the first or second post of the rom you are trying to flash.

Found it. thanx!

Mod Note: This question should have been posted in the thread specific to the Rom you downloaded in the ROM Development Forum.
New thread for existing issue is a no-no.

CAN'T FIND RUU_Signed.nbh FILE IN THE STOCK ROM

I'm using the x1a (n.america) and i figured in order to make a backup of my firmware i would need the NAM (canada) stock rom instead of the UK one. (correct me if i'm wrong plz). And so i found this stock rom on this site, the exact one, even my provider's name was on it, and i downloaded it but it just came as an exe file and when i run it it just extracts/installs an image file (215mb) in a folder specified by me. In the tutorials it says that i need to put the RUU_signed.nbh from the stock rom in the kovsky folder... but i don't see that file anywhere, is it the same thing as the image file installed by the exe file? Do I just rename it and proceed??? PLZ answer this if you can because i have everything else prepared to flash my phone but this is the only thing holding me back...

Yes, if you're using the RUU method rename it to RUU_Signed.nbh if you're using the SDCard method rename it to kovsimg.nbh.

You need to extract the RUU_signed bit from the image i am having the same issue and i write software for a living. Are you following the tutorial on how to back up your rom?

video guides
Im actually following BioVolt's video guides which I think u can find on this site if u search biovolt's video tutorials? they're really good and detailed but they're kinda long.

The exe contains a .img file, just rename that to kovsimg.nbh, and copy to the root directory of your memory card, and flash it.

it's not for flashing it is for doing a ROM dump in all the tutorials it does'nt tell you what clearly to do with the stock ROM once downloaded. But now i know along the same lines as your idea It just needs renaming to RUU_Signed.nbh then place this in the same folder as the 4 files you have allready extracted.
I have watched biovaults vids good but a little long for me.

I am in the same situation, and I'm totally new to flashing/backing up Rom's.
I'm also following BioVolt's Videoguides to start with but can't get hold of the Stock UK Rom.
Since I purchased my phone in sweden, unbranded I perfer to use swedish stock roms (If this even matters anyway?!).
So just to get everything straight, can I just download "Generic Sweden R3AA009 Software Update" from the sticky here in the forum, extract and rename the .image file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" and use this when I'm dumping my rom or did I totally missunderstand you guys?
Thanks in advance and sorry if I'm just way off with this question.

The reason we use uk roms is cos they they are WWE(world wide english) and the kitchen needs this to dump the rom.
the one you end up with will be an exact copy of your stock rom.
Yes just rename the uk one

Allright, thanks alot! Really helped me out.

It's a little OT but my X1 doesn't find the kovsimg.nbh file in the storage card anymore. Why is that? I've flashed using this method for months!

Uhm, I'm not sure really.. But ensure that you put the "Kovsimg.nbh" in the root of the storage card, not in any other folder. Might be a stupid answer but you might have missed this lil' thing.
Good Luck, Anton.

Checked that...could it be a matter of storage card hardware? I had few problems writing on it through the card reader.

Might be, but you still should find the file if you successfully transefered it to the storage card...
Just to be sure, you haven't reformatted your storage card recently? It has to be in the "FAT_32" format to be flashable..
Can't really think of much else that gives you these problems..

So even if I'm using the X1a i should dump my rom with the STOCKUK rom? I read somewhere that if i flash my stock rom back on my xperia after it's been dumped using StockUK rom then my phone won't be able to connect on 3G etc.? Is there any truth to that, because im finding it impossible to dump my stock software using the NAM stock rom, kovskykitchen tells me that it cannot extract the ruu_signed.nbh

It must be uk ROM due to it being the only one that is guarenteed WWE the kicthen won't recognise anything else and when you flash back it will be whatever stock rom you currently have.

Help: Created backup of original ROM can't flash back

I created a backup of my original ROM using the tutorial and I've placed the created nbh file in the root of my storage card and went to the bootloader only to get, "No image found!" If anyone could help please or point me in the direction of a stock xperia 1i rom I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks Drake I'll try those and I did rename it Beneficial thanks.
I'd like to say I got two files and the one I didn't try was in the rom folder in kovskykitchen but it's just a .nb file could I have used the wrong file? Thanks again.

All You Have To Do Is Download The Rom From The Url You Posted Then When You Have It On Your Computer Right Click On It & Select Extract Files Then Open The Folder That Gets Extracted & Find RUU_signed.nbh & Rename It RHODIMG.nbh Then Put It On Your Storage Card & Flash & You Should Be Good To Go
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
I Hope This Helps!!!

Rlly? cause I was told if any software is found on the phone when its sent back,ill be charged for a full price?

If you are on AT&T, you have to restore the stock ROM or you will be charged. You also need to restore the SPL.

Problem
I flashed abck to default stock rom some time agon and they voided my warranty just because id didnt return to stock spl. They are full of nonsense over here

i have done numbers of returns of from tilt 1 too the fuze and the tilt 2 for warranty exchange and never had a problem but if u feel confortable follow the steps from the previous post to conver the file over just extract the file and then convert the name over to rhodimg for the nbh filr and put to ur main root of the sd card and flash it that way it will install the stock rom

ok so I got the file on my SD card, but I forgot the button combo to flash it, I get to the tricolored screen then it takes me to the hard reset. What button combo do i need to flash?

Think i got it!

Just let us know when you need help with flashing back to stock rom btw with the stock rom that was just updated for the AT&T with sense it has a lot of problems so you may want to flash it as soon as you get the replacement.

Just make sure to flash stock rom and respl your phone if you hgarsled it. coz spl voids the warranty.
it doesn't matter how many softwares you have on your phone when i sent my phone i had spbmobile shell installed on it plus nitrogen core player and all the crap so it doesn't really make any difference.
my phone had a little crack near usb and when they asked me i said nothing is wrong with it there is not even a small scratch on my phone

Need a rom ZIP file for desire 626S

I am looking for a rom zip file for a T-mobile HTC desire 626s. All I keep finding are the ruu's. I need a zip file so I can install OS via TWRP. Anyone know where I an find and download one, really need as soon as possible.

Flashing without RUU
First, download the RUU and run the .exe up until it prompts you to begin the install to the phone. Don't do that.
Go to Windows Explorer and in the address bar put "%temp%" and find "rom.zip"
Rename it "0PM9IMG.zip" and put it in the root directory of your external SD and from here you can do whatever you want. I used the bootloader to install it rather than TWRP.

Thanks
