Flashing usinng Windows 7? - XPERIA X1 ROM Development

Recently got an Xperia X1 and now i want to flash it.
Been reading the threads here, but i've got some questions.
1. Anyone flashed using Windows 7? Anything specific i should have in mind?
2. Should i simply just get a computer with XP/Vista before flashing?
3. How do i format the MicroSD card? Can't do it from my computer, do i need an external reader for it?
Thank you in advance.

You can't flash windows 7, completely different operating system designed to run on a different processor. Look at the available roms, and there are several flashing guides on this forum.

If your pc does not have a built-in card reader...you will need a external reader to do it...
Hope this gives you a clue...
Great Day!

Yes, i meant that my PC is running Windows 7.
But i guess there are other ways to flash than to use the SD card, or are they more unsafe to use?

1\ login as administrator and fully turn off UAC. download and install Windows Mobile Centre no matter if it has already installed with system
2\ not needed
3\ card reader is needed. format via card reader as removeable disk with FAT format

nop.. U dont need any program installed to flash . Ive flashed all the roms using windows 7!! And I havent faced any problem!
btw , win 7 is great!

Hi
Very simple. I'm Using WIn 7 Ultimate on my laptop. When I connected my X1i to it it automatically downloaded WMDC (same as used in Win Vista). and it works similar to Win Vista
No problems at all.
Syncs well with outlook. I/ve tested WM 6.5 as well as WM 6.1 both on the same.

As far as I know .net 3.5 is already installed by default on Windows 7. But you can always download the installer offcourse

Windows 7 build 7057

Did anyone tried to install Windows 7 build 7057. This is the newest version which is available now on the world wide web. Currently I am running Windows 7 build 7000 on my HTC Shift. Maybe someone can tell me how the update function is working from 7000 to 7057.
And how can i delete the message "Evaluation copy. Build 7057.winamin.090305-2000". I could try some old versions but i don't know if that is working.

haven't tried it.. I have tried 7000-7022-7048.. but not the 7057... until there is a really interesting new thing in Win 7, I won't change the version .. 7048 has everything working fine for me.. and so should be 7057.
I don't know how to remove the trademark.. but I know it was possible with vista... I guess it is the same for 7.. just look on some forums
I just installed it today........so far so good
All function with this build is ok!!!
Wifi - bluetooth - shagctrl - internet share from snapvue - resolution changer.
Not working for the two button of resolution changer and shagctrl, only via software!!
I haven't tried in Shift... but working on the Toshiba-M700... as such the build is fine. It is good

So all themes including aero is working with both resolutions 800x480 and 1024x600?
and how about activating.. does it work with this version too or does it expire after 30 days?
Control panel is working very well for windows 7057. The resolution changer isnt.
Unfortunately the 'classic theme' has been removed from windows 7. Right now I am having a lot of trouble with the blue screen. I cannot switch back to 800x480 after I've changed the screen resolution because there is no classic mode i chould switch to.

all themes exist in Win7.. you just need to select the correct one (at the bottom of page).
if you have issue, just press F8 at start and choose to run windows in VGA mode.. which is 640x480 and then choose 800x480 in windows.
everything works perfect for me except the BSOD with 1024+AERO.
all buttons works.
Windows 7 Migration to build 7057
Thanx for all these reactions!
After reading this messages i decided to upgrade my system.
So this morning i tried to upgrade my Windows 7 (build 7000) to Windows 7 (build 7057).
I had Windows 7 installed with the Step-by-step guide for installing Windows 7 beta1 instructions.
After installation i didn't have any problems at all. All my settings and documents are there!
The one problem that is still existing is the videodriver. With the upgrade the videodrivers are installed again from Windows. After installation of the HTC Driver the resolutionchanger is working again. Of course without Aero.
The only thing that i can't solve is removing the Evalution copy watermark. Can someone help me with this?
Update:
Touch screen is not working. Had to reinstall the software (EC and Touchdriver)

So there is no solution for higher resolution and Aero? An alternate driver or reg tweak?

At the moment there is no solution to this problem. Why would you even want to run aero with only 64MB dedicated video memory...
If the function is there I want it nevermind the productivity I used to say until Vista came...not important but teh basic theme is ugly.
Hello guy.
Since I installed the 7057 I have problems with the sd. The shift can not read the sd card. Someone has the same problem?

Hmm, I've been using 7057 for a couple of weeks now without having any problems with the SD-card.
Did you try with a different memory card?

I try with a different memory card, a lot of cards and I try to reinstall vista. Sd works on vista. Also when I insert the sd on seven 7057 wi fi stops working. In your opinion may depend from the ROM that I installed on WM side?
Thanks deadnex.

It doesn't have anything to do with what ROM version you are using on WM side. Try changing the power option to "high performance" in Win7. If that doesn't work you could try to rollback the driver (in case you installed a new driver through windows update)
Hope this is helpful
Windows 7 build 7057 vs. Windows Vista boot time

Question for you guys that have already installed Windows 7. How fast is the boot time vs. Vista?
Thanks
Windows 7 build 7057 vs WM6
Guys, another question. Does the connectivity between Windows / build 7057 work with WM6? Is it using the same USB tool?
Thanks

mac book: Update tilt rom

How to update rom for my tilt with macbook pro....i have had tilt for long time and didnt use it for sometime.i have installed 6.1 n wanted to update the latest rom. Responses r appreciated.
Parallels or VM fusion
I dont know of any RUU's written ofr Mac, so I believe you're going to have to boot into windws somehow.
EDIT: You could also update via the SD card. Go to the Kaiser Wiki, and the ROM development forum for details.
Good Luck

There is no way to update using OSX. I have all Macs and I flash my Tilt with my Intel iMac by booting into Windows XP using Bootcamp.
I don't believe you can flash " official roms " with the SD card method, but I could be wrong.

You can download the HTC stock ROM, extract it using any UnRAR program for OS X (a google search will yield plenty of results) and after doing that, rename the extracted file called RUU_Signed.nbh to KAISIMG.nbh. Then, you can move KAISIMG.nbh to your MicroSD card using a card reader, and put that back in your device. Hold the Camera and Power Button at the same time while the device is off to load the bootloader, and if you did everything right, you should be able to follow the instructions from there.
Check out the WIKI page for more info:

That is the SD card method, but again, if you don't already have Hardspl on your phone ( and you have to do that with a PC ) you can't use the SD card method. And you can't flash a stock rom either using the SD card method either unless you use Hardspl first .
I think the OP was asking to do a normal Kaiser rom update with a Mac.
thnx guys
thnx you for ur responses ppl ....

Flashing with MTTY through Ubuntu?

Hi, I have recently moved away from windows to ubuntu as i hate the thought of being bound to it.
I often flash ROMs and always use the MTTY format tool before i flash.
I could probably fudge running MTTY from the microsd to format but the trick would be how to remove the nbh file so that i could put a rom nbh onto it.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers
am i the only one on ubuntu?
oh well i suppose i can use a micro sd adapter. cheers for the input guys.
I am an avid user of Ubuntu. It seems the major "windows" based phones around here, kind of prohibit users from being Ubuntu capable.
I have recently tried flashing my TP2 from VMware running XP on Ubuntu. I cannot get "task 29" to run from SDcard, and was looking for some MTTY help to send it the command or something.
I run Ubuntu 10.04 on all my machines now, and had found a XP HDD laying around in the past to flash my TP2 to firestorm. I just did not format. My friends TP2 with identical firestorm(he has slightly newer radio and ran task 29 before flashing) runs like lightning to my phones thunder. Don't have windows anywhere now...
Meanwhile the newest firestorm supports MP4's...
Either or, if you could leave me some insight on flashing from mtty in Ubuntu, I'd love to be able to continue flashing.
Moved to Q&A, and title changed slightly
Easiest way is to copy the NBH to mem card, and flash via SPL if you all ready have H-SPL, if not, flash H-SPL at a friends house and then flash NBH Rom
Good Luck
Badwolve1

is there any way we can flash using ubuntu.. im using ubuntu 10.10.. Im using htc diamond and my internal memory is broke.. any way i can flash from ubuntu? thanks.

sorry double post.. slow conection, i thought it didnt go thu.. after refresh double post.. please help on ruu that works on ubuntu 10.10 thanks.

Developer Registration Tool w/o full SDK?

Long story short...I have a legit Windows Phone Developer account and I want to unlock my Lumia 920. I know the unlock tool is part of the WP8 SDK, but the only problem is that the SDK requires Windows 8 64-bit. As of now, the only Windows 8 install I have is on my Samsung tablet, so I can't install it on there since its not 64-bit.
Is there a way to just get the registration tool without installing the 1.5+GB SDK? Or is there a way to do it from Windows 7?

Try this. Idk if it works, but give it a shot anyway! Extract the files and put it in a folder, then run the exe.

unfortunately this doesn't work, as it states we need a zune-connected phone. and the lumia 920 doesn't connect to zune
RE: register phone
Why don't you use a vmware image of windows 8 where you can install the sdk on it. I use the same method as I have a macbook. for win phone 8 dev I use vmware.

I think the zip doesn't work but not because it needs a zune connected phone. Instead the issue is that the tool is probably missing some common files or something like that. It asks to connect the phone to the computer and points at a potential problem with the windows phone passthrough service (although there is no problem because the device can be browsed perfectly fine).
I wish I could at least install a XAP to my WP8 devce on Windows 7...Is THAT even possable ?

Sorry for bumping this old post, but I had been having issues registering/unlocking my Windows Phone 7 Lumia 710 recently to develop.
Using Windows 7 SDKs, the registration tool with it just wasn't working - I was getting the good old "Error logging into the App Hub. Please check your Windows Live ID and password and try again" message.
Even contacting Windows Dev Support couldn't resolve this - apparently its a known issue theyre working on just now!
Long story short, I found this thread - and tried the zip file you linked and it worked! I was able to register my phone through that file instead of the registration tool that came with the SDK. So thank you very much!
Worked for me too. Thanks a bunch !!

Use APK Installer For PC. Install files through it. Before installing apps, check "install to sd". Your apps will be in your sd card.
Hit THANKS if it worked.
