Help flashing a Prototype X1 please....

Hi guys,
I have in my possession a review sample of the X1i. Seems that the hardware is intact but the software is very old
R1AA013
R13A
Generic_UK
Rom 1.01.931.14
Radio 1.05.25.15
The SE update service says there is no update for the phone, but I know R20A is out and much newer roms are also out.
I have a Touch Pro and have flashed many HTC phones before.
Is it just a matter of Hardspl and then finding a UK rom and radio somewhere.
I have checked the Wiki but there only seems to be one rom there and it does not say what it is. Can anyone please point me in the right direction for an up to date UK rom please. (really liking the panels)

if you hardspl then the seus may work, but theres several roms on this section of the forum that id use instead..

Thanks for the tip, I will try SEUS with Hardspl.
I have been looking at the roms on the forum and they all seem to be hacked with HTC Manila on them. What if I just want the latest SE panels and rom?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448911 is a clean ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445818 1.04 is the final release of another clean ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446245 is probably what you're after; custom ROM with performance tweaks, added apps and includes panels

Thanks you so much, I really appreciate your help. I will see how I get on tonight.

Hi, sorry for resurrecting such an old topic, but churchwa did you have any success in flashing your phone? I am in a similar situation and would like not to brick what I got.

I have a prototype X1 too, I have flashed it a dozen times (mostly testing ROMs for the ROM LIBRARY) Zero problems. Advantage: protos are security nlocked
LINK TO THREAD HERE​

Really? Thats great. I'm running the same firmware as OP, and while it will make me sad to loose everything to start fresh (just got tomtom working ) maybe I will try this out soon. A performance boost would be nice.
Usually with SE stuff the proto IMEI (004...) throws a serious red flag, among other things. Great to know I can update it. Now if only the hardware were in better shape...
Edit: One last question to gtrab or whoever may help. My main interest would be to load the latest official NAM firmware out there, doing so wouldn't lock it or anything would it? Official as in un-touched, not network (Att or Tmo) related. If I were looking to do something unofficial, what would be the best way to go? Perhaps I should read up a bit first.

But thats when you have normal non-pda se phones,
there os works differently.
You have FW, EEProm, Erom and gdfs (i think)
proto's have normally got brown FW and erom so they need brown loaders instead of red (retail) to get flashed properly.
As this phone works completely different there is (almost) no difference between proto and ratail ones.

firmware updates

hello all
how do you know when a new update is avaible from sony and what changes it does?

download Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) from here and follow the instructions once installed - http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones/x1?lc=en&cc=gb
Also sony didnt release any info on what they did literally change but there have been some threads about it.
I do know in R3A they fixed a problem with the Clock and updating the Weather or something.
If you want to know when a new update is coming or what not i'd just check the forums here at XDA - sony hasnt even updated the Xperia page since R2A so they are very unreliable for update news - I even subscribed to the Official Xperia newsletter and never heard anything from them

ive got R3A is that the latest version? i dont wana update it if it is as last time i updated it i had to set the phone up all over again

If you use the updater it will tell you if you have the latest version or not and if you do, it wont do anything (unless you tell it to reinstall anyway).

yes r3a is the latest version and i dont expect a new one for a while

How do I check my current firmware version? And where to check whats the latest? Thanks =)

connect to SEUS via your PC, follow on screen instructions and it will tell you if you have the latest or if there is an update available.
You dont have to update so your X1 will be safe.

Latest official HTC EU WWE ROM

Does anyone have it - the *latest one*, which is 2.33?
Thanks.

http://www.htc.com/de/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=174&cat=2&dl_id=537
Enter your serial number, then download it.

I do not have a serial number that it accepts. Otherwise I would not ask here.......

use this:
SH9XXXXXXX0
Dont forget, you wont be able to flash your Orange HTC Touch 3G with this ROM unless you hardspl the thing.
It does work, cos i've done it to mine. The best thing about this ROM, is that the WIFI works properly.
Enjoy

Many thanks. I am very grateful.
Do I need to use customruu (which I got from the hardspl page I think) or can I just run the built in installer? I have already hardspl'd my phone.
NB: latest downloadable version for anyone interested is 2.32.405.3.

if hardspl is done, then you should be able to install the ROM from it's own installer.

can i try this @Wolves4Ever
hi
im from asia can i try this ROM i mean will this work for me or will it brik my phone
thanks in advance

It should work AFIK, as I was running the HK WWE rom on mine before the Wolves4ever kindly posted the s/n (which he may wish to delete now).
I have the WWE EU rom which I can upload if anyone wants.

Just wondring why you want to change to the latest WWE ROM. The reason I ask is that I recently updated to this ROM and regret it! As far as I can see, it offers no improvments to the original but has caused me problems.
Firstly, it keeps "loosing" my SD card. I used a 16Gb Sandisk in my Jade sucessfully for the 8 months before the update. As soon as I installed the new ROM it couldn't find the card and worse, it corrupted it badly. I had to format it for it to work but now, about 1 month later its not finding the card again. HTC support arn't interested as they say the phone is only able to use up to 4Gb. I'm currently using a 4Gb card to see if this works but I don't see why I have to downgrade! We report back to see if this works.
Secondly, I think the battery life isn't as good as before. I haven't done acurate tests but it now struggles to do 2 days between charges, when before it did about 2.5 days.
I would be interested to hear if anyone else has had these problems. You have been warned!
Woolly.

I have had a few probles: the ROM freezes and crashes. This did not happen with the HK WWE version someone has posted here.
However, it is a vast improvement over the orange branded software.
I have not had the problems you refer to.

The WWE UK ROM can be downloaded from http://rapidshare.com/files/2748523...dio_Sign_12.41.30.16_0.41.30.12_Ship.exe.html

Unlucky you! I upgraded to the latest ROM mainly 'cos the Orange ROM stuffs up the Wifi. All seems to be fine and the 2gb SD works fine. As for battery life, cant say its any better or worse. It was pretty poor before anyway.

Hi guys
I have an Orange Jade 110 and sufferred the Unique / no wifi problem. Orange support were no help whatsoever.
Using the excellent info on this forum, I installed hard spl and then decided to try the HTC asia 2.33.721.1 rom. unfortunately I have lost where I downloaded it from but I think there is a link on here somewhere.
- I downloaded the file & used the program's installer to flash my Rom - all orange stuff now gone and I have a fully working phone again that uses wi fi as a priority before using the sim data connection ie like my tytn 11 kaiser
hope this helps
just found the thread with the download link..
sever155 said:
I did all of this but used the updated official ROM from HTC. I could not get the file from the HTC website because it says my S/N is not compatible, I can only assume that this is because HTC have agreed to not release the software to Orange units forcing us poor customers to pay to use 3G internet rather than free WI-FI. A bit of searching led me to an English version hoseted on another website:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/gdoyj...1_Radio_Sign_12. 41.30.16_0.41.30.12_Ship.exe
Works a treat and i love it!

You need to do search my friend. Whatever your question is, try to search and you will find the answer.
In your case, if you like to flash your device to windows 6.5, you'll first need to do HardSPL. You can find the "how to" in this thread and this thread.
Then, you can choose and download any ROM you like. There are plenty of choices.
Just follow the instruction to flash the ROM....I think every instruction is clearly enough to understand.

I did search and i downloaded the hardSPL program but I didnt use it because it was going to download an older rom than the one i have right now.
How do you guys know which ROM to use? I just want the latest one.

Oh one more question, so why is the Hard SPL trying to revert my current rom to an old one. Is that what I have to do?

before flash any custom ROM you have to do hard-spl JUST ONCE THOUGH, have fun

hey!
1. you got the latest update for your ROM from SE. that means you are on a "official ROM" or "stock" ROM.
it's suppose to be running on windows mobile 6.1.
2. there is NO "official" 6.5 ROM for the X1 (yet)
3. when you see ROMs saying they are running on 6.5 they are called "custom" ROMs.
custom roms, as the word suggests, are customized by great chefs here on xda to maximize the capabilities of X1 and windows mobile,
that includes the latest updates either from SE or windows (or HTC)
4. there are also 6.1 custom roms
5. the date any custom rom is released suggests it is the latest.
6. there are different "cooks" who may release the same build/update
my suggestion:
try each rom one at a time. sooner or later you'll find one that will suit your taste.
(i think this is the norm here on xda ). and imho, this is how it should be.
if you want the latest agent_47 will not fail you. he's almost always has the latest updates.
if you want a simple & stable rom go for jack's. (with multi-language support)
for pure X1 & wm, look for spikegotti's rom or gtrab's
later you can try itje's, rotastrain's, killer8nl's, etc which are all great.
i hope that clears your confusion. enjoy!
be sure to hard-spl first.

aww you guys are so helpful. thanks im sorry but i will be sending you a PM if i need help. lol

(REQ) ROM - Can`t Find Anywhere...(ENERGY)

Hello guys i have a special request and i need your help because i can`t find this ROM i search almost everywhere and write here on XDA but for now not success.
I want to download this ROM
WWE EnergyROM WM6.5 PHOTON 17th October Build (23016) Manila 2.1.19.19 Sense
I want to have this ROM on my Hard Disc because when i flash new roms if the ROM is bugy to have this always on my PC to can return Back.

its been so long since i tested it and there's been so many releases that i cant really say exactly a opinion about the rom. I have though used the exact link to get it back then because of hotfire being so slow. best way is to test it really but i using his latest rom at the moment.
link below
_http://rapidshare.com/files/319335428/EnergyROM_21884_BLACKSTONE_10.Dec.2009_StandardM2.5_MaxManila.rar
its design is pretty good and so far i aint had any problems with it and being 21884 its pretty sound on the memory resources so i would advise that. if you dont like the layout on the 2.5 thats been added, use the phoenix 2 rom here but try keepin to the 21884 if you like to have free memory like i do so it doesnt slow as well as being faster.
