First time flashing, Need Help - XPERIA X1 ROM Development

This is my first post
Ok i want to flash my phone for the first time and want to know if all my info is correct.
I want to flash my phone from the stock rom to the WM6.5 pure rom because my battery sucks and so does my signal, any idea if this will work for me???
heres the info i have:
" *** Flash X1 without PC - Micro SD Method ***
This is useful if you load a bad image and cannot make an activesync connection for RUU flashing method.
This method works for any 6.1 and 6.5, and even radio rom.
*** Some Kingston brand may have problem to use SD method, no solution other than use RUU method ***
0. Make sure x1 is hard-spl first
1. Make sure yr micro-sd is formatted w/ fat-32
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. Make sure X1 is disconnect to your PC to avoid goes to serial mode (AC power source is OK)
4. 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.
5. Then follow the on-screen instruction

BUG FIXING SUPPORT
*Voice Command is included, but disabled by default. To enable it, download and install
THIS CAB (ROM SEX1 R5.07 VoiceCommand).
This will enable the bluetooth audio gateway too (thanks to a1234567 for posting the registry settings)
*Common WM6.5 glitches: a) Tapping taskbar battery icon does nothing b) scrolling dialer with keypad hidden
causes display corruption

Am i on the right track and is it recommendend i do this ?

First of all, update to official R3-rom via SE update service.
There you will get a new radio (signal strength).
After that, Hard-SPL your phone.
When that's done, yes, you can use the Micro SD method.

thanks a milllion so if u upgrade to this rom first like this is it ok ???
"1. download this: http://rapidshare.com/files/238466530/APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R3AA010.exe then
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. Make sure X1 is disconnect to your PC to avoid goes to serial mode (AC power source is OK)
4. 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.
5. Then follow the on-screen instruction"
because that is the R3 rom right ?

Just follow your instructions and flash to gtrab ROM first. then if your reception or battery doesnt increase, you can flash to a different radio version. The way to flash to a different radio version is the same method as ROM but u need to find the radio file. The radio file is also in the ROM developement section, all you need to do is search. I think the lastest radio file is 1.16 or 1.17. Good luck. Just post any questions and people will gladly help you.
PS: Once u start to flash different rom, it is addicting to try to different rom. Dont ask which rom is the best, every ROM has it positive and negative. YOu just got to try them all to see which one fit you the best.

so i downloaded the 1.16 radio and...
"Just extracted from new Korean R3BA015 Rom
http://rapidshare.com/files/25077333...1_16_25_48.zip"
did it this method!
"1. just copy the file *.nbh into the root directory of SD card and rename into kovsimg.nbh
2. Do the ordinary flashing (hold the bottom volume button and the power button until the flash screen appear)
3. Follow the next instruction"
its saying loading for 5 mins now , is this normal???

ok i never hard spl it first i think that might be the problem

im having a huge problem hard spl my phone can someone please guide me step by step thanks

1. State problem
2. Follow this for HardSPL'ing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218

Mda II Compact boot failture!

Hello gays!
I hav a problem with my Mda.
In my mda was windows 05 and i want to upgrade to 06
And im download rom from thiece site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305125
And i Upgrade rom thiece method :
ANOTHER FLASH METHOD :
If you have the chinese WM6 rom, downgrade to some WM5 with official RUU, then:
download this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/29098553...fixed.zip.html
Once you unpack it, please put the nk.nbf (charmer wm6) into the Shelltool folder. Open shelltool.exe. Click Get Rom info, then click Extract OS. Wait until its finished and you'll receive a file called 8004000-OS.nb (save it for later).
Download the xbeta Chinese WM6 rom : http://rapidshare.com/files/27671349...eta.exe. html
Extract it and put that 8004000.OS you saved before in the XBETA directory. In the itsutils folder of xbeta rom you will find enablerapi.cab and cert_spcs.cab. Copy them to your device, install them on Device Memory, then soft reset.
run xbeta.cmd and choose the 8004000OS.nb file to flash (you should be connected with AS and have your radio module turned off).
When the screen goes green and the flashing is finished make a HARD RESET!. Press Camera and Voice Dail buttons (hold them). Put and hold the stylus in reset button for 2 seconds. Release it. Wait until you see some white fonts on black screen. Then release those 2 buttons. Push the green dial button.
I choose thiece method becouse the first method in the rom subject doesnt work.
But after im instal new rom i have Era rom and when im complete upgrading to wm6 the phone is restart and im see era splash screen and its strange for me :/
So the problem is it is in startup screen showin Era splash screen and he STOP! i tried to hard reset but it gives fat partition error.
Please HElp me!
sounds like your device is CID locked at the time you flash it.. which gives you the same splash screen. However, the fat partition error (I presume it said format fail), is a big problem that AFAIK, it has no solution.
What you can do (at least) now is to put your phone in to bootloader mode and flash it (check the wiki, I think there is a section on this).
I turn on boot loader and i upgrade to another rom Era name and still thiece same Can you give me link with rom ?? to my phone ? Yes i dont unlock the cid
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
Now i download my Net is so slowly :d when im download and upgrade i write and good luck to me ;]
Rom t mobile Doesnt work. Other minds?? But the splash screen is T mobile ;]
ipl 2. 06
spl 2.06. 0000
gsm 02.19.21
os 2.6.2.27
meybe Rescue Rom like i wizard ?? do you now where i can find it??
the splash screen indicated that it has already flashed, but, as I've mentioned above, the partition failure are more complicated than that and may not be fixable yourself. I can't help anymore now, you can try to find some other solution. Good luck.
How to unlock cid ?? can you tell me what i hawe g 3 or g 4
at the top section of this screen, there is this "XDA-Wiki", go in to the 'Wizard' section. G3 G4 CID unlock info is there.

""Splash screen freezing -> SOLUTION !!! DIY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damn... I walked around and around and solution was all near me and able to do it myself...
Ok here´s how I done it.
First, I must explain what was the problem.
After update the firmware (not actually upgrade, I had the phone full of trash, so I decided to reflash same firmware v2.18 PTG), the Qtek 9100 / HTC Wizard freezed at 2nd splash screen (the one that shows OS versions IPL version, ect). Tried many different versions, upgraded to 2.24, 2.25, downgraded even to 1.6.7.3, but always same problem, freezed on second splash screen. I read many topics on xda-dev, and seen some people with same problem. Apparently there was 2 solutions. 1- send phone back to warranty. 2- write backup ROM from SD in bootloader.
Passed more then 15 hours asking for this SD backup everywhere, and COULDN´T find any help. Apparently no one had this "SD dump ROM Backup".
So here´s how I solved my problem
1- I tought that a SD backup was needed, and yes it is. But u can use your own phone and your own SD to do it.
2- Get a clean SD card (in qtek 9100 / Htc Wizard case is MiniSD) with 128MB (some people say 64MB, but I personally used a 128MB, maybe a 64MB is enough)
3- Kill (task manager) wescomm.exe (this is related with activesync installed on your PC). Insert the blank SD card on the phone.
4- Get your phone in bootloader mode. Like this : Phone powered off, press Camera button + Power On, will enter in bootloader mode (RGB screen).
5- Now connect your USB cable to your phone. And start MTTY_updateROM.exe (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/romupdate.rar). After open, on Port selection, choose \\.\WCEUSBSH001 and press OK. A window will open with a blank sheet.
6- Type "r2sd all" and hit enter... wait to the end (at end shows "cmd>"). On your phone screen u can follow backup progress... small bar will appear down the RGB screen.
7- Power off the phone (or remove battery), enter bootloader mode (camera button + power on) and this time RGB won´t appear right away. Will ask if u want to "download SD image", press voice dial button to agree, and writting will begin. Wait to the end. Power off and power on normally. Now your phone should be working ok. Not even needed to reflash the phone after this.
Thanks to all and hope this helps more people with this problem""

Format Is Failed (!?)
Hi. I know that the focus is now on the new ROM, but I am having a problem with my MDA Compact II after following the alternative flashing method. Original details:
IPL 1.12, SPL 1.12.0000, GSM 01.11.20, OS 1.12.2.23
All seemed to go ok, following step by step as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=39129&d=1179243687 and I got to the end step with ‘Congratulations’. I had no error messages. However upon hard reset I got the message: FORMAT FAT PARTITION, FORMAT IS FAILED (oops!)
The screen then showed the same details as before, but with OS now 10.2.0.8.
I’ve done some searching on the Forums & tried restoring the phone via bootloader using both “MDAc2_ROM_Johnnnnnnnnnny_v1.0” (stalls at 99%) and “RUU_Charmer_1120223_11202110_11220_T-MobileUK_Ship” (this completes 100% & reverts the OS to 1.12.2.23, but I get the same FORMAT IS FAILED message).
Any further suggestions how I can revert to the original state, or update to WM6?
(My wife has an MDA II as well – I’ve checked my battery in her phone & it is fully charged).
PS Ignore the details at the bottom - I also have an MDA COMPACT (I)
Chameleon846: if you read carefully, you would know that you need at least bootloader in ver. 2.x to flash WM6. And seeing you have 1.x, no wonder it didnt flash poperly. GO find an official HTC Prophet rom and flash it with RUU. It will help.
no problem with this, this happen time after time on every ppc, it's random flashing error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307332
please, read forums before asking, this was mentioned many times...
vlodeck, thanks. A little knowledge... I stupidly missed the 2.x bit...
I've tried the RUU method with an official ROM. It completes all 100%, but will not go any further. I've seen bits about a restore from an SD card, but can't find the exact method (copying the nk.nbf file to SD & running bootloader doesn't do anything. If I manage to sort this am I able to upgrade the bootloader to 2.x?
Thanks.
Chameleon: not charmer official ROM. Prophet ROM!

2.Poweroff your phone
3.hold the volume down key and while continuing to hold it power on ur phone
4. The Phone will go into the bootloader mode, and will auto detect the rom image from the SD Card and ask if you want to proceed by hitting the power button. Hit the power button and the rom will install
Note : it should take about 10-15 mins (as of now i have not tried this try at ur own risk but it works for kurtfhouse )
also make sure that ur SD card is Fat32 or format the same to Fat32 & use a smaller memory card the smaller the better

Hi Hari.
I have been going through all the threads and i recently upgraded to the new ROM for my 3G. (Official one). Actually, I use Jabra bluetooth headset with my phone. When the voice command is running in the background, the phone does not go into power saving mode. i.e. the screen does not switch off.. Can you please check the same with your ROM. Not sure if its ROM issue or something else.
If the voice command is running in the background, the phone screen does not go into sleep mode.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!!

Sorry For Double Posting
Well my Jade has two problems right now, since I've updated his ROM, I think.
1. When it's charging (standby mode) it only charges to 50-60% and the light is always orange. But after a soft reset it appears immediatly 100% and the light turns to green.
2. While it's in standby mode it doesn't vibrate when receives a SMS, only blinks the green light.
So... Problems with standby mode?
@blackaos
hi
if u have updated the Pdaviet ROM the SMS will only blink by default u need to got to sound setting and change the same as per ur requirement
in terms of ur charging problem im sorry i dont have a solution
u can try a hard reset
if any one has any solutions kindly advise

PLEASE READ THE *FAQ* BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS!!
IF YOU HAVE A CDMA DEVICE THEN GO *HERE* FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO HARDSPL
IF YOU NEED TO HARD RESET OR ENTER BOOTLOADER YOU CAN FIND INSTRUCTIONS *HERE*
Before starting, backup anything you might want to keep after the new Rom has been flashed as all contacts, emails, texts, notes, Internet BookMarks WILL be lost!!
PimBackup is good and free (copy any mms attachments to your storage card or computer seperately)
*ONCE YOU HAVE FLASHED A HARDSPL ITS PERMANENT. YOU DONT NEED TO DO IT AGAIN WHEN FLASHING NEW ROMS OR RADIOS*
*DO NOT start another process while the flashing process is taking place*
*DO NOT click off of the status bar... Let it stay in the foreground*
*DO NOT let the Screensaver activate*
Any of these can lead to a bad flash and possibly brick your phone
*FLASH HARDSPL BEFORE FLASHING ANY CUSTOM ROMS*
1. YOUR DEVICE MUST HAVE AT LEAST 50% BATTERY POWER FIRST BEFORE ATTEMPTING EACH STAGE
2. FLASH HARDSPL
The Original HardSPL Thread is *HERE*
IMPORTANT: Each user gets 1 license, or perhaps 2-3 on request if needed (valid forever and works as transparently as possible, so it won't be a problem at all)
you can send a request for 1-2 more devices for private user (free) at http://support.htc-unlocks.com (ONLY at this link, not in PM).
NOTE1: This package is for Rhodium (Touch Pro 2, not the original Touch Pro) devices. CDMA-GSM worldphone version is not accepted (RHOD400, RHOD500 modelids), that will have its own HardSPL later. This HardSPL supports WM6.5
NOTE2: If you have Vista or Windows 7, update WMDC to v6.1 *HERE* first
Flashing via ActiveSync with USB Lead (thanks to OliNex)
1. Download HardSPL package from *HERE* and extract to an empty folder
2. Synch Phone with PC in Windows Mobile!!! It has to be connected to activesync or WMDC via USB cable and it must not be in Flight/Airplane mode (i.e. radio should be on)
3. NEW: Internet access is required as the program checks online for updates and license
4. Run Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe on PC, make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.). XP requires Admin logon and Vista/Windows 7 will automatically prompt to allow it to run in Admin mode, allow it. If you get an AntiVirus warning please ignore it, it contains no harmful code (just used a packer to compress it).
5. Follow steps as prompted in the HardSPL program. If this is the first run of HardSPL on a device after Hard Reset, you must select Automatic Flash Mode (first button in Welcome Screen)
NOTE: You should usually go for Automatic Flash Mode. The Manual Flash option is only to be used as noted below and you must only attempt the Manual Mode option if Automatic Flash Mode or SSPL-Manual.exe already put device in black screen. Any other errors triggered while running in Autoflash Mode will have to be fixed as instructed in the error message.
6. It will ask you to wait while it prepares for the flashing, press OK
7. Now it should go through without any error messages, if one does pop up then follow the instructions included in the error text. If no specific instruction is shown then ask for help in the thread, but this should not ever occur (as this means a really fatal error occurred)
8. At this point the phone hopefully went to a black screen (reporting version as 1.01.C-SSPL only using "info 7" in mtty), this is the SSPL version, which is temporary. Then RUU will instantly launch
9. NOTE: When RUU says it will Hard Reset do not worry, it is not going to do that. Also when it says the flash will take 10 minutes ignore that, it will only take a minute or so
10. SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done
*Go into BootLoader Mode (do a Soft Reset while holding the "volume down" key on the left side of the device. Keep holding the "volume down" key until you see tricolour screen which is the bootloader mode, then release it) and verify the screen shows 0.85.OliNex, which is the HardSPL version*
NOTE1: This is unsigned HardSPL. No limitations on flashing ROMs (except of course some Radio roms). Also this has overwrite protection against HTC RUU's overwriting HSPL with a stock one. See steps in the Original thread about how to reflash stock SPL.
NOTE2: Anyone having USB problems with the device after it enters SSPL mode, download SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe, copy it to the phone and run it. Once the screen has gone black, run the HardSPL package on the PC and select Manual Flash option.
*IMPORTANT* Make sure that the USB cable is plugged in and device is synched to Windows Mobile even if doing manual method.
NOTE3: Do not use this RUU for anything other than SPL flashing (i.e. hardspl or stock spl restore)!!! Nothing other than SPL's made by Olinex team (using OliNex custom cert, which is not public) will flash to make SSPL more secure. If you want to flash another rom then use shipped RUU or Rhodium customRUU if you want to flash cooked ROM.
3. DOWNLOAD AND FLASH YOUR PREFERED ROM
NOTE: Check the Roms Thread for any specific Flashing instructions. If there arent any then you can use the following guide.
Flashing Via ActiveSync
1. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your computer
2. REMOVE SIM and microSD CARDS!!
3. Turn phone back on and wait until it syncs with your PC
4. Run the CustomRUU.exe from the Roms Folder (if one isnt included then download it *HERE*)
5. Follow onscreen instructions to set up your New Rom
6. Once phone has gone through the customisation procedure then replace Sim and microSD Cards
7. Turn phone back on and set up as required
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.
4. FLASH PREFERED RADIO (OPTIONAL)
For more information about compatible Radios go *HERE*
Flashing Via ActiveSync
1. Sync your phone with the PC
2. Run CustomRUU.exe from the Radio's Folder and follow the instructions (if one isnt included then download it *HERE*)
Flashing via MicroSD Card
Use same method as Flashing a Rom via MicroSD Card
5. JOB DONE. Well Done YOU DID IT!!

FAQ for Flashing your First Rhodium Rom
FAQ
1. What Operating systems are supported for Flashing HardSPL?
Supported OS versions: 32bit and 64bit XP, Vista, Windows 7RC and later. win2000 was untested, and pre-RC win7 (lower than build 7100) is explicitly not supported. Also the program may be unstable or not work on Virtual systems, so it's recommended to try outside Virtual OS software. Also version verify: if HardSPL package says V120R in first Welcome dialog title (and version 1.20 in About box) it is the latest version, not some crappy beta/old version.
---------------------------
2. Why is it recommended to remove the Sim Card and microSD Card before Flashing?
microSD Card removal is recommended just in case any self booting programs or UC setup files are on there that might interupt or conflict with the setup procedure after flashing.
Sim Card removal is recommended because as soon as your phone reboots after flashing your phone will be live and if you get a call or text message during the initial setup it might interfere and ruin the setup.
If you flashed with both the cards in it should be fine as long as none of the above situations happened. Just be aware for future flashes
---------------------------
3. What are the different types of Unlock? (answer by DaveShaw)
The three stages of unlock are:
SIM: Allows you to use SIM's from another carrier. Can be done using codes or unlocker programs on xda-devs.
Security: Allows you to flash radios from another device (radios intended for your device only need Hard SPL) - It does other stuff, but this is all the casual user will use it for
CID: CID unlocking is an old concept, nowadays you flash Hard SPL instead. Hard SPL lets you flash any ROM, Splash or Radio (depending on sec unlock) to your device. The stock SPL's only let you flash signed ROM images that match the CID & Model of your device. N.B. the CID is the carrier ID (e.g. HTC__001, or VODAP100).
Also, SuperCID is setting your CID to a value that allows you to flash other signed (shipped) ROMs, even if the CIDs are different after removing Hard SPL. - SuperCID is performed by the Olipro unlocker.
---------------------------
4. What is the difference between ROM and RADIO?
The Rom is the operating system and included patches, tweaks and programs. The Radio is a seperate part of the firmware on the phone that handles all communation related matters such as signal, gps, bluetooth, camera, wifi and sound. Newer Radios to include improvements or fixes in older version, or even just to compliment an existing Rom or network so a newer Radio isnt neccessarily better. Radios also need to be matched to the correct Rom so you cant just put any Radio and Rom together.
---------------------------
5. How do Stock ROMS differ from Cooked ROMS?
Stock Roms usually have extra 'bloatware' added which take up extra space on the phone. Custom Roms are stripped down to provide more space and most are tweaked to provide a faster more stable Operating System. Every chef is different so you have to look around the forums to see which Rom is best for your needs.

Great post for people thats new
Nice one Mark.

i have to say, that no matter what color font, special &$^#%@ that you use, someone will NOT follow the directions. This is a VERY in-depth guide!

Too true....I remember how scared I was when doing my first flash on my Wizard though. Somethin like this at the time would have put my mind at ease (would have probably scared me to death even more at the same time! ).
It's funny how, with experience, that fear fades away and you just flash as if you've been doing it all your life. Some people will learn the hard way...others will read, read, read like I did many years ago! (as they most definitely should)
Nice post mskip.
When flashing a new ROM via Active Sync, is it really necessary to remove the SIM-card and SD-card? I didn't and the flashing did go well. No problems at all!
Just extra precaution against wiping your cards out or God forbid getting incomming phone signal during flash and having that interfere!

Unfortunately flashing HardSPL on a Rhodium is a very in depth process and no shortcuts can be taken for the safety of the phone.The purpose of this guide is to give someone the whole process from flashing HardSPL to changing the Rom or Radio and save them having to keep 4 or 5 screens open with all the different information.
I remember when I first flashed my OLD Hermes many many years ago (god that makes me sound old haha) I was trying to pull all the information I needed together and ended up with over 15 pages all with different information and different methods on how to do the same thing and it took months off my flashing life.
I only made this up last night and the HardSPL information is taken directly from the creators thread. I will go through the HardSPL section and try to "dumb" it down so its easier to understand but if people want to customise their device then they HAVE to be prepared to follow all the steps to the letter and not complain that its too hard or too in depth.
This is the third one stop flashing guide I have written and the other ones have helped thousands of people flash their phones, the fancy fonts and colours are just their to help point things out
Any improvemants or additions are welcome (although my 10000 character limit has already been reached so if I add something then something else has to be taken off)
no problem to flash an official rom later?
you talk about : "CDMA-GSM worldphone version is not accepted (RHOD400, RHOD500 modelids)"
i'm the owner of the european htc touch pro 2, is it supported or not? thx

Once you have HardPSL on your phone then you are free to flash Official or custom Roms as you desire.
Im sure the Touch Pro 2 is supported but if you are unsure in any way then ask in the developers thread.
Ok I've got a question. In the starting post is sais that the HARD-SPL is permanent. Is it really permanent, or can you change the HARD-SPL later on when updates are brought out?
I guess it is permanent in a way that it won't be removed after you reflash you device. But it can be altered right? (Because there are updates brought out for HARD-SPL also

It means it cannot be replaced by a stock SPL. There is a flag in the Hard SPL to prevent it from being overwritten. You must use SSPL to change the SPL version - PS the relocker in the Hard SPL thread will revert you to Stock SPL if need be.

Mark, you forgot SD card Flashing - RHODIMG.ngh
Would you be able to add it when you get chance?
Dave

Sorry Master
When I was writing the guide I didnt see anything about microSD Card flashing so I thought it best to leave it out. Plus I knew that you would pick up anything I left out
I will add it to the Rom and Radio flashing steps but I totally maxed out my post already. Any chance you can bung me another 5000 characters I promise I will pay you back next week Failing that I will have to do some drastic rewording or spread the guide over the first 2 posts

Upgrade Rom Problem!

Hi all!
This if the 1st time I write here!
I have a Blackstone with spl 1.14
I tried to update my rom to
Miri WM 6.5 23017 :: MANILA 2.5 :: REV 7.1 [ONLINE]
and
[PDAVIET][WWE] BLACKSTONE WM6.5 ROM V59
but i have the same problem!
The wizard starts ok it automatically takes me to boot loader mode then i get the message with the bar 0-100% ready to load but is stuck to 0% for 3 minutes and then the procedure stops!
What can i do?
I tried hspl before but windows dont opent it!!
Any help ?????
thx panos
the phone is not un lockt for flashing
hspl 1,56 or someting like that you need
You NEED to read the sticky's on the front page for using either Hard-SPL or USPL to upgrade your ROM....
NEED being the most important word there, all the info you require is in those threads.
NEED TO FLASH OLINEX 1.56 BEFORE YOU EVEN TRY TO FLASH A ROM!!
r8zer i have read all of the above but uspl black doesnt work on my windows!
where i find to download this file?
thx!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
Skia, use this thread and read is carefully. All the information that you require including the files are in there.
Everyone one has their own preferred method to flash, choose yours and read, re-read, maybe once more to be sure and then have a go - everyone is new at some point and has reservations, but please read the threads that other kind soles have taken the time to write in order to guide people
r8zer i have found it but it opens the same application that opens with miri!
Should i run this 1st (to unlock) and then run miri?
Am i right?
thx again!
instal windows device center youl sea it will work
or active sinc !?!?
r8zer i have found it but it opens the same application that opens with miri!
Should i run this 1st (to unlock) and then run miri?
miri includes BlackstoneRUUWrapper in the rom!
Isnt it the same thing?
They both start with the same page
thx again!
Right You need to be in windows, hook your phone up and let it connect to activesync, once connected run Olinex 1.56, thats what unlocks your spl, of your phone, then take the rom of your choice, and extract the .Nbh file from the exe, by opening it up with winrar, RUU_sighned.nbh, and put that on your desktop.
now get a 2 gig micro sd and format it, then change the name of the nbh file to
BLACIMG.nbh and transfer that to sd card.
Reboot phone into bootloader, by holding down volume and press power button, should have tricolour screen, plug back into computer and wait for it to say USB at the bottom, then push SD card in and should come up with a menu saying push power button to start flash.
As i see it cannt be done automatically (without the sd)
So i ll try tomorrow and i hope it works ok!
Thx for the advice
it can be done from windows but this way is much safer, and you will not have to worry about knocking the usb cable, its all done from sd, but it up to you how you go about flashing either sd card way or through windows. i will always choose SD.
Follow this guide and post further queries in that thread. No need for another thread on flashing.

I'll try to help :
1. Unpack the file you've downloaded.
2. Rename the file (without quote) to "kovsimg.image" or "kovsimg.nbh" and make sure it's not "kovsimg.image.image" nor "kovsimg.nbh.image"
3. Copy the file to your micro SD card.
4. Turn off your device and release the battery for few seconds then turn it on again, bring i to boot-loader mode by by holding the "volume down" button on the right, and holding the power on button until you see the tri-color screen. Just follow the onscreen instruction. I believed you have known this method, otherwise you can read this.
5. If you don't have a plan to flash custom ROM again, restore to stock SPL. Find it and read the instruction here.
Just do search my friend, you'll find the answer.....

It is not the same issue. You have a compatibility software issue, that is normal since you are running a beta ROM or a software that was not designed to run on WM6.5. Knukle89 has a ROM issue, i.e. his phone doesn'e even turn on.
Follow bulux instruction or/and read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
still can't work ...
i had run SEUS ...
but when identifying phone it always says that " the phone can't identified ... please reconect the USB "
i try it again n again but still no use ...
hard reset maybe?
