Having trouble Hardspl

i'm having some trouble.
I've downloaded X1_HardSPL_v1.zip and unzipped it. I tried running from my computer but it came up with an error and same with running it on my phone.
I have windows XP with .NET framework and have the phone and PC synced.
What am I missing to get this working? I read through the thread stickied at the top without luck. The instructions on the first page does not say whether or not i have to run hardspl from the computer or on the phone...

I replied earlier but the post has gone missing ...
This is strange:
1) 12 months ago I installed HardSPL on my Polaris. This programme would not run on Win2k Pro, only XP Pro SP2
2) about 1 week ago, I installed HardSPL on my (new) X1. This programme would not run from XP Pro SP2 ["... failed to initialise" error ] but ran without error in Win2k Pro
... beats me
Anyway, I used a PC with Win2k Pro and NETCF3.5 installed. The X1 was asynced on the USB cable first. The process took about 4-5 minutes

Flashing under vista how to ?

Thanks a lot for your great job we really appreciate all your works;
is there a way to flash hardspl and rooms under vista ?;
its a little bit easier than flashing trough sdcard so it will be very kind of you if you show me a way to do this under vista;
thanks a lot bro

Same as XP, I have a vista machine and I have flashed mine many times without problem.

I had some issue with Vista while HSPL. Tried with XP Pro, it works without a hitch.
ROM flashing from storage card is easier too.
I could have save hours (reading up and testing)

Flashing using Vista should be almost the same as using XP. You could run the process with elevated user rights to be on the safe side (not sure right now, if that is even neccessary), but apart from that, it should work without a hitch.

Maybe I should correct my response. I flashed HSPL with XP, never tried it with Vista as it is usually a one time flash. I have since flashed many time the ROM's with vista.

There seems to be an issue with USB and vista and USPL, i only get error messages. under xp its 100% fine every time.

I flashed HSPL with Vista without any problems.

thanks a lot bro for your quick answers its very kind of you
anyway can i flash the hard spl from sdcard with same way of flashing rom from sd card ? and how to do this safetly ?
Many many thanks brothers

I had absolutely no problem flashing HSPL with Vista (32 and 64)

There is also an WMDC update for vista that's recommended to install if you havn't already which might help if you're having problems still
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx

i'm using win7 x64 and i'm flashing without any problems ^^
and i've installed the same WMDC, so i suppose it works on fine on vista too

I have a Macbook Pro and never have any problem flashing under Bootcamp Vista Ultimate. HTH.

flahing using Windows 7 beta

Has anyone got this to work? No one mentions Win7 in the thread about replacing drivers to get Vista to work and don't want to mess up my ActiveSync (which works) if I have another choice? Any advice would be great!
P.S. I don't have a XP machine available, converted both to Win7 beta.

I would like to think there would be no problem you'll use the same WMDC as vista, but if you not sure flash the rom from the sd card, just rename it to blacimg.nbh (.nhb whatever? lol) and copy it to the SD main directory, once you enter bootloader follow the on screen instructions and it will flash the rom, I prefer this as it is faster then using the pc

Windows 7 is working excellent

Hello,
I have a Windows 7 latest build working. Just install WDMC (same version as vista mentioned above!)
It's working without any modifications and even much more stable then vista. It uses also less memory then Vista.
It is a very good choice apart from Windows XP -> Vista is the Beta version of Windows 7!!! ;-)
Many Thanks
Roman

I had nearly every build of windows 7 started with 6801 over beta 1 (7000) up to 7068 now and it worked on every version 32bit and 64bit! Just use the mobile device center ;-)

I've had no problems with win 7 synched to my Touch phone

No Problems with Win 7 no need to install anything to contact phone just use the mobile device center.

Ditto, works perfectly. You'll find Windows 7 installs some drivers the first time you connect your phone which may mean your flash times out while it waits. Just let the drivers install and the re-run the RUU and it'll start to flash

Running Windows 7 RC1 (7068) and no issues whatsoever

i couldnt HardSPL on windows 7 but other than that it works great with the HD.

I was trying to use USPL and that doesn't work (get USB in bootloader but the exe fails as can't find the usb port), guess I could try HardSPL but liked the idea of USPL. can you run USPL from the memory card?

did you change the usb drivers to the old ones? and turn off usb in active sync (on the pc)
I've done it on Windows 7 like the other users with no issues.

Install Vmware Workstation 6.5 and then create a new windows XP virtual machine.
Map you usb to the VM whenever you want to flash using USPL and not only. It works perfect!

ok thanks guys, sounds like using the old drivers will work, but Vmware sounds like a perfect solution will try that.

If you don't mind may I ask where you get the download for RC1 7068? I tried through MS site and got a license key but no download link, it said download was no longer available. Would like to try it.

works fine on build 7048

This is funny.... I would love to know how you have RC1 when its not even been produced yet / hit testing stages of RC

To clear up some comments on Windows RC1. The leaked version of Windows 7 build 7068 in the license agreement says Release Candidate so people are thinking its RC1.
No biggie.
For those who want to upgrade from a previous version of Windows 7 Beta to Build 7068 understand that it WILL break your Windows Mobile Center 6.1 - when it tells you that its not compatible with the 6.1 version in the upgrade it means it. Don't mess with it. Install a fresh copy or you will not get it to work. Even if you download the 6.1 version to re-install.
For those who are installing the HTC for the first time it will say that it cannot find it. That's okay. Once it cannot find it - refresh your windows update and it will find a new driver. once that is installed it will try to install a another driver and it can't find that one. Refresh Update again and it will then find the final driver and Windows Mobile Center will recognize the Touch HD.

Guys, I have ActiveSync working (I am on Win7 7000 however) but was trying to flash (and yes, I had 'unticked' allow USB). This is what was failing. Can't find an XP disc so will try the older drivers as per the solution for Vista. Thanks for all the help.

search for VistaRUU on google for the older driver. It should work just fine under windows 7, I've used it to flash my friends' hermes.

Windows 7 and Flashing

Made a quick guide on how to flash your phone using Windows XP mode on Windows 7. ( For People that cant do it on there Windows 7 due to driver problems )
1. Download Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
2. Install first Virtual PC then take a reboot and install Windows XP Mode.
3. Do a Windows Update on the Windows XP Mode, and make sure that .Net framework is installed.
4. Download Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/activesync-download.mspx
5. Connect the phone to the computer , once that is done you can click on the USB menu above your Windows XP Mode.
6. Attach the devices that you need by clicking on them. (Make sure that the phone is in the bootloader if you are going to flash it)
I have tested it on my phone a couple of times worked every time.
Hope it might help someone as it helps me a lot

Thank you Giland
But i have anther way i tried it on Window 7 pro 32b which is
1- Reboot your HD device on the bootloader
2- plug the Cable till you see the USB written in the bottom of the screen
3- you can Flash your HD now

yah been doing this since 1st time loading cooked rom into my HD

Thanks for your guide Giland, but I've been using Windows 7 and used same method as described by mezolezo, i.e.
1- Reboot your HD device on the bootloader
2- plug the Cable till you see the USB written in the bottom of the screen
3- you can Flash your HD now
Also the Dummies Guide also provides a detailed step-by-step guide for flashing including how to downgrade drivers for Windows 7 so 'usb' is displayed in bootloader
Still I appreciate your efforts and hope to here more from yourself
Thanks
Rick

Using windows 7 64b and i just make an active sync connection and use the given software with the roms... Only had driver issues while Windows 7 was stil on earlier RCs.

You don't need do that! Simply boot windows 7 using disable driver <something> lol! Update drivers and flash! I use this method and i never have problems!

What do you mean with upgrade driver?
Where can I find the driver?

This my friends it is very very complicated.I am sure it is working but..
If you have windows 7 install windows mobile device centerr,plug in your HD and FLASH.OR you may copy the BLACIMG.NBH to the card and FLASH.
NO NEED TO OVER COMPLICATE YOUR LIFE.
Thank you anyway for the tutorial.

Was just a test since @ work the mobile center wont work no mater what i try.
So i found this complicated way to do it and its working

I did not want to offend you in any way,i am using windows 7 for a long time now and always flashed using Windows mobile center.
I plug in the HD. When asken select the Active sync mode, then start the RUUWrapper and tihs is it, the rest is his job.
And it worked always.
But i still preffer the card method.

found out my problem here , guese what it was forefront anti virus that did it all
I just disabled it and then i reinstalled the Windows Mobile Device Center.

i simply flash my rom on my windows 7 ultimate as i used to do on Vista. Why bother complicating one's life

USPL 2.5 and Windows 7 Ultimate
I only flash via USPL 2.5 and I haven't been able to flash in windows 7 ultimate I have tried all the guides and have not been successful, I came across this guide thought I found some information that would really help me because I also set-up this virtual PC on my machine, only to find out that there is a lot of different ways to flash my phone in Windows 7, so my question is this
1) Is anyone of you guys Flashing using USPL2.5 in Windows 7 Ultimate?
2) If YES, could you explain to me how get it working on my machine?
Thanks.

Cant Flash / Hard SPL via USB....any ideas?

Some some strange reason if I try and hard spl / flash via usb method Windowds Mobile Device centre drops out half way through the process (when phone goes into boot screen) and the install fails because the phone is no longer sync'd with the PC....
I have never had this issue before....which is why it is puzzling me..
I get an error message on the PC saying: "Error [206]: Connection"
PC is running Win 7, 64bit if that makes any difference...
p.s do I need to hard spl each time I install a rom? I kind of do it now out of habbit......

Windows 7 x64 is the problem, you need hacked drivers.
update the drivers of your phone with the ones attached here.
You don't have to do HardSPL every time, only one time is enough.

Since when do you need a hacked driver to flash Xperia X1 using Windows 7 64 bit?
I've been flashing using my PC which is on Windows 7 64 bit, never have I used hacked drivers.

Thanks for the reply.
I have unzipped the folder, but am unsure what I have to do with the files....
Sorry for being such a n00b....

I have a Windows 7 x64 PC and got no problem flashing different ROM's on this thread. As what the others have said, you only need to HardSPL your phone once and then you can flash any ROM you want. You don't need any drivers as I have not installed any on my PC. Maybe your phone's battery is below50% during the time of flashing? If that's a no go for you, why don't you try flashing using the SD Card method?
