I just downloaded R3AA010 (generic). The file is APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R3AA010.image
My X1 is HARDspl. Does this mean I can simply rename that file to kovsimg.nbh and flash it from the memory card? Or do I need to convert it somehow? I read
the tutorial but it says i need to change from .image --->.image.nbh
Can I simply rename the file to kovsimg.nbh and flash it?
Any help would be appreciated!
you can simply rename, i did it and it works fine

This is the way you can flash from your computer (when the X1 is connected via ActiveSync / WMDC)
1. Download X1_CustomRUU.exe and put that in the same directory as your rom.
2. Rename your rom from .image to .nbh (the rest of the name doesn't matter)
3. Execute X1_CustomRUU.exe and follow the steps on the screen.
If you want to use SD-card flashing you have to
1. Rename it to kovsimg.nbh (I don't know if the case is important)
2. Copy to the root of the SD-card (i.e. not in a sub directory)
3. Power off the X1
4. Enter bootloader bij pressing 'volume down' and a little later 'power' until you see a four-colored screen (red / green / blue / white). If everything goes well it will flash automatically

I've tried to do a hard reset but it doesn't do anything. I can enter bootloader screen though. Is the wiki correct about hard reset being the two soft keys and the soft reset button?
Please help! I'm stuck without a phone!
The wiki is correct about that, but if that won't fix it I suggest flashing a new firmware to your phone from the microSD card. You can follow the instructions from the wiki on how to do that, just one thing that it leaves out: you must format the microSD card to FAT32 file system, most come set to the FAT file system.
This has saved me when my device couldn't boot after a bad flash, in fact I now do all of my flashes using this method and they never fail. Good luck!
Is there a HardSPL file to run from the MicroSD card?
Download HardSPL, extract the files, find the .nbh file, then follow the wiki instructions of renaming it to KAISIMG.nbh. That will work fine.
There only seems to be one file...an exe....
You have to run the .exe file to extract its' contents. In the folder that it extracts to you can find the .nbh file.
Sorry to pester you but which file do I rename...
sspl-kais
or
kaiser-hardspl
?
Actually both are required, first do the sslp file, then the hardSPL file.
So I rename the SSPL file and enter bootloader...
then repeat for the other file?
That is correct.
Thanks for your help.
For some reason when I format the MicroSD to FAT32 and copy the file over (and rename it) it enters bootloader and quickly accesses the card only to say something to the affect of no file found and then return to the bootloader screen.
It will only detect it the file if 3 things happen: it must be fat32, the file must be named KAISIMG.nbh exactly, including the caps, or it will not be detected, and the file must be valid for your phone. If the sspl isn't working, try just the hardSPL.
If all else fails, put the official AT&T firmware back on the phone (it can be found in the FTP under the wiki), then flash hardSPL from your PC.
down load the att rom found here ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Kaiser/Roms/ run the update.
download pof/olipros hard spl found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
no more worries, have fun flashing all the roms you want.
everytime i try to install (volume down button + power button) it says "No image found". It really frustrates the living sh*t out of me! i completed everything untill the last step:
* Uncompress the .rar file to get the .image file.
* Rename the .image file to Kovsimg.nbh
* Copy the Kovsimg.nbh file to the top of the SD card.
* Remove the battery for 5 secs (guarantees the phone is turned off).
* Hold down the volume down button, then hold down the power button at the same time.
* After 2-3 secs you'll see the reg/green/blue stripes, then it will go to a light grey background saying "Loading".
after that it says No image found!
someone able to help me?

Did you do a hardSPL that worked then the tricolor should say xxxxx OLINEX
cant you see the name Olinex then hardSPL agian. if that is not the problem check your memory card so it is FAT32 and original sectors (windows format standard)?

The same thing happened to me when I tried to update the Spanish ROM. That is because you are missing ONE step
You need to use NBH Utils to do several things before you get the file you need to rename to "Kovsimg.nbh":
- 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"

thanks for taking time and making it clear
it worked for
I had the same problem when i installed my latest rom.
All i had to do was to Hard-SPL and format the micro-sd card as fat32.
Then you copy the kovsimg.nbh file into your memory card.
Easy peasy
By the way...
With all the step above you are only upgrading the OS not the splash images, and the radio...
To update all no need to do thats steps...
All the step no needed just have to rename the file to KOVSIMG.nbh and copy to the root...Not problem to me at all...
But you must remember to have the MicroSD in FAT32 format and use the MicroSd that comes with your xperia...
In some cases the fault is the MicroSD brand...
I have read somewhere the Kingston MicroSd present problems to flash Xperia..But i havent test that either....Dont have a Kingston one...
Only Sandisk...
Please try to use SDHC micro-sd memory card.
FAT32
Yes, MicroSD card has to be in FAT32 format.
Hy
First of all we need to know exactly what org. Xperia (language, brand) you have and the name of Rom you like to flash to your Phone.
Cause you need to know that a phone without hard SPL will not accept other rom than org generic or org. Brand (t-mob, O2, Voda) in org. Language to flash.
If you like to flash WWE rom on a German T-mob Xperia you have to Hard SPL the Phone first! Hard SPL is easy make sure no sd card with a rom on it is in the phone!!!
make sure you flash newest org rom first before flashing a custom rom, to have last Radio on your Xperia.
I had the same problem when I use the 4GB "Hancock-card" (formatted to fat32 off course). So I use the old skool pc->active sync -> usb cable method. That works perfect
Hello guys;
I had a xperia and use the method without HTC X1 PC - Micro SD Method, for something like HTC HD?
Thx very much!
ever looked in the Wiki? Searched maybe?
Yes you can:
Download the file from web to your device
Extract the ROM.zip or ROM.rar Ffile
Rename the extracted *.nbh file to BLACIMG.NBH
Copy this file to the root folder of your Storage Card
Power off your device
When powering on your device press the Volume Down Button
Now you should be able to flash your device with your downloaded
ROM.
But, of course, you have to HardSPL or USPL your device

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

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
I have been searching everywhere about a certain doubt but I didn't find any clear answer so, my question is quite simple..., taking stock firmware, bootloader locked and unrooted, if I copy a proper "update.zip" in the internal memory, according to the model and region of my device , can I install it directly from stock recovery or not...?
I will appreciate any reasonable response
Yes you can install
place the proper ROM (Update.app) in Internal storage (Dload folder)
Now turn off your phone and turn on by pressing all the three buttons

However, inside of update.zip file (fullOta) there are many files besides "update.app". Can you tell me please, if I have to copy all of them to "dload" folder or just "update.app" file?
