bootloader = camera + softreset
and flshing from sd - never worked for me

ok...well can i flash from my usb or whatever???if so do you know where i can get a compatible version for my p4300/wizard.

for those of us with mac's and non windows desktops<it would be nice to have a wayto flash from minisd! I can only remember how easy it was back when I used my zaurus 5500.

Please use the search function because I know 4 sure it is described in these forum, since I have done it myselves.
But once again:
1 BackUp your Herald (if possible)
2 Format your micro-sd card with FAT32
3 Unpack the .nbh file of the Rom you want to use if needed
4 Rename the .nbh file to Heraimg.nbh and place this file, and only this file onto your micro-sd card.
5 Place the micro-sd card in your Herald
6 Put the Herald in bootloader-modus by pressing simultanious camera- and comm. manager button and performing a softreset. Keep pressing both buttons until the bootlaoderscreen appears.
7 Your screen will display the instructions to press the key on the left side of your device (slide the volumebar down)
8 Follow the instructions as displayed.
9 After flashing perform a hard reset as prompted!
10 Tada
But; before flashing by micro-sd:
- Make sure your device is fully charged
- Flashing is always on your own risk and neither I or anyone else can be held responsibl if anything goes wrong
This methode cab also be used when unbricking your device if no pc-connection is possible/available

Errrr..... wrong thread... lol

With some fantasy I interpreted your post as "for me this method did not work"
If it didn't work, you screwed up somewhere...but no need to worry...what exactly didn't work?
In your future post please do not only mention something doesn't work but include which part didn't work and what went wrong.

Just use the sd card method.
Re-name the radio/rom file RAPHIMG.nbh
Copy to a clean, FAT32 formatted sd card (the main folder, i.e. root folder).
Remove sim card.
Add new sd card.
Enter bootloader (hold volume down, soft re-set).
Hit power button when prompted.
Wait ~3 min til it's done, and the screen tells you that ROM update was a success, then soft re-set.
Do a hard reset when you're at the screen alignment step (if this was a rom update; if it's a radio update, you're good to go after the soft reset); remember to remove card with the rom image (and get the image off of there).
Now you're done; it's a lot easier than flashing with a pc connection. This all assumes you have hard spl installed and a security unlock if you're flashing a non-raph radio.

Hi,
Do I need to connect device to power supply or upgrade just with current battery charge?
Thanks a lot for Your info.

I've flashed with my fuze plugged into the wall outlet, but you should always have at least 50% battery charge.

dude
he explain for fixes
"Attention! Couldn't do this on a Vista machine, had to use my XP notebook!
- Download the file you want to use and rename it from *****.image to ****.image.nbh
- Run NBHUtil
- Go to "Extract NBH" tab
- Choose *****.image.nbh
- Now you should see something like this:
Model ID: KOVS*****
Target CID: 11111111
Version: 1.02.932.3
Language: DEU Remember what it says here. Could be something else for you, depending on the language of the file you want to use!
Chunk Size: 64
- Click the "Extract" button next to OS:
- Save it as OS.nb
- Go to "Build NBH" tab
- Select the X1 as model
- Set language to the value you should remember ;-)
- Click on "..." next to OS:- Select the previously extracted OS.nb file
- Click "Build NBH"
- Save it as "Kovsimg.nbh"
Now you can continue with step 1 or 2.
but ..
this step
- Click on "..." next to OS:
not posibble
because look at the picture havent it? "...." how can be? pls help me

I'm not sure if I understand your problem, but why don't you follow this procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445662
"
0. Make sure x1 is hard-spl first - this is OK in your case
1. Make sure yr micro-sd is formatted w/ fat-32 - if you have no data on your card better format it again.
2. rename the image file (normally "ruu_signed.nbh") to Kovsimg.nbh, copy that to the micro-sd, and put that it yr X1
3. Bring x1 to boot-loader mode by turning off the x1 completely. Hold the "volume down" button on the right, and hold the power on button until you see the tri-color screen.
4. Then follow the on-screen instruction
"
5. After successful flashing remove battery for while
6. Optionally - do hard reset combo: press & hold two silver buttons under screen and press for short while power button, then follow the on-screen instruction
If you have no special reason it is better to use this method for flashing every rom.

step by step:
1. you wan to have stock rom.
You go to http://blog.fastgsm.com/sonyericsson/r3a-software-for-sony-ericsson-xperia-x1/ and download file you want.
For example file for "XPERIA X1 Generic UK R3AA010 Software Update" is "APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R3AA010.exe"
2. Now double click on this file in windows and unpack it. You will get another file something.image or whatever.
3. rename this file to kovsimg.nbh
make sure you can see in windows files extensions like .exe or .nbh
4. copy kovsimg.nbh directly on your sd card
5. now you should be ready for update
If you do this and boot loader can't find file - format your sd card again (not quick format bur normal format).
I hope this will help.

There are some SDcards that don't work with the flash by SDcard method.
So you'll have to try with flashing with your pc.

Rom update guide, what is missing?

Hi everyone,
I have had this new xperia and love it, I have decided I would like to update my rom but want to make sure I have not missed anything.
If it's not to much to ask can someone let me know if this guide is missing any steps.
my phone and me are both virgins.
Thanks
------------------------------------
Preperation:
1. First lets download all that you will need in order to flash your rom.
Hard_SPL_X1_V1-
And of course download any custom rom made for the X1 of your choice...that is all you will need!
2. Extract the HardSPL somewhere on your pc, you might aswell extract the rom file somewhere on your pc too.
3. Connect your phone via activesync to your pc
4. When you are connected, (I let it finish synchronising one last time, to ensure all of the data on my pc was up to date with the current data on my phone), you then go to where you extracted "X1_HardSPL.exe" and you run it...
5. Follow the instructions at some point it should say something like "Image Version: 1.02.111.7" to "1.00.X1"
When asked, press "Yes" on the X1
6. - Now a Tri-color screen should show up, showing some version Information
After that, a progressbar screen will be shown and the phone will reboot when finished
Click "Finish" on the PC
(To check if you succeeded, turn the device off (long power button press). Then hold the volume down button and turn the device on again, still holding the volume down button until the Tri-color screen shows up. It should read something like:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.OliNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707)
Remove and reinsert the battery to exit bootloader mode
You completed the first step and are now able to flash any ROM you want to your X1! (Well, at least any ROM made for the X1 of course ;-))
Steps 2-6 need only to be done once...from here on forward should you wish to flash another rom you do not need to install HardSPL again as it is already on your phone.
Flashing your Rom (The fun begins):
7. Rename the rom file you downloaded from whatever.nbh (usually it is ruu_signed.nbh) to Kovsimg.nbh (you can rename it on your pc or on your phone once you have transferred it over)
8. Start up the phone normally, if you have not already done so...then connect it to your pc...(at this point you can connect it without activesync, just as a memory card reader so that you can copy over your rom faster)
Copy your rom into the root of the memory card.
(You can also use any external memory card reader/writer connected to the pc and copy over the file)
Remeber to make sure all files have been deleted off your memory card.
9. Insert the memory card into the phone (You never know somebody might forget to do it :-S )
10. Turn off the phone completely, not standby mode (USB cable must not be attached)
11. Remove and reinsert the battery (This step can be skipped if you made sure you turned off the phone in step 10, this is just in case somebody put the phone in standby instead)
12. Hold down the volume down button and press the power button while still holding both of these buttons until the tri-color screen pops up.
13. Follow the onscreen instructions (It should install the rom +-5mins)
14. When you see the screen say "Succesfully updated", you can then go ahead and remove the battery and reinsert it.
Getting ready to see results (one last step):
Do not skip this step!!! This may result in errors!!!
15. Do a hard reset : Hold down the two silver buttons directly under the screen, while holding them down push the power button, you should then be presented with a screen that asks you to press "R" to reset your device....so go ahead and flip open the keyboard and press "R", when it completes it will ask you to press "Spacebar" to restart the device...go ahead..
16. You are done!
You have now flashed your rom....after it restarts please note the first time it starts up again will take longer than normal, you will be presented with all the normal setup's as you first did when you got your phone...
Like stylus setup and time and date etc...
With this particular rom that I flashed approximately 3/4mins after getting to the today screen a notification came up asking me to choose my operator and it then installed all the necessary connection settings for me....
You may also be asked to restart the device once more after the initial startup of the new rom, this is because upon first start up the rom may install some additional programs / cabs / tweaks which the "cooker" has cooked into the rom....
I cant think of anything more at this point, I tried to be as detailed as possible with this guide and use as much lame-man's terms as possible to make it clear and understandable....
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to post under this thread and I will answer to the best of my knowledge...
Once again thanks to XDA-Developers from whom I have learnt all of the above....

The only way to know which ROM is best for you is to try each of them out and see how it "fits" your personality.
Enjoy flashing!

I have not had time to do the rom flash, and might find a few hours tomorrow.
I have one last question, has any one done flashed a virgin phone in windows 7?

Thanks

After a rom update has anyone noticed that the screen flickers on the bottom third?

Help me, Flash with sd card.

I want to flash my touch hd with my sd card.
give me step to step info.

1: download the ROM to your storage card
2: UNZIP the ROM using the 7zip utility found here
http://www.qweas.com/downloads/syste...ws-mobile.html
3: Rename the unzipped ROM image from ******.nbh to BLACIMG.nbh
4: Move the BLACIMG.nbh file from the folder you unzipped it to accross to the ROOT of the SD Card
5: (This is important) Press and hold the volume DOWN button ONLY, not the up button as if you were hard resetting
6: when you see the 3 colour boot screen it WILL change to a screen asking if you want install the new ROM upgrade, press the power to start the install
7: Finally when finished remove the battery to power the handset down and then reinsert and restart the phone Hard resetting twice before allowing it to boot fully for the first time.
Good Luck
