Just use the sd card method.
Re-name the radio/rom file RAPHIMG.nbh
Copy to a clean, FAT32 formatted sd card (the main folder, i.e. root folder).
Remove sim card.
Add new sd card.
Enter bootloader (hold volume down, soft re-set).
Hit power button when prompted.
Wait ~3 min til it's done, and the screen tells you that ROM update was a success, then soft re-set.
Do a hard reset when you're at the screen alignment step (if this was a rom update; if it's a radio update, you're good to go after the soft reset); remember to remove card with the rom image (and get the image off of there).
Now you're done; it's a lot easier than flashing with a pc connection. This all assumes you have hard spl installed and a security unlock if you're flashing a non-raph radio.
Hi,
Do I need to connect device to power supply or upgrade just with current battery charge?
Thanks a lot for Your info.
I've flashed with my fuze plugged into the wall outlet, but you should always have at least 50% battery charge.
Hi everyone,
I have had this new xperia and love it, I have decided I would like to update my rom but want to make sure I have not missed anything.
If it's not to much to ask can someone let me know if this guide is missing any steps.
my phone and me are both virgins.
Thanks
------------------------------------
Preperation:
1. First lets download all that you will need in order to flash your rom.
Hard_SPL_X1_V1-
And of course download any custom rom made for the X1 of your choice...that is all you will need!
2. Extract the HardSPL somewhere on your pc, you might aswell extract the rom file somewhere on your pc too.
3. Connect your phone via activesync to your pc
4. When you are connected, (I let it finish synchronising one last time, to ensure all of the data on my pc was up to date with the current data on my phone), you then go to where you extracted "X1_HardSPL.exe" and you run it...
5. Follow the instructions at some point it should say something like "Image Version: 1.02.111.7" to "1.00.X1"
When asked, press "Yes" on the X1
6. - Now a Tri-color screen should show up, showing some version Information
After that, a progressbar screen will be shown and the phone will reboot when finished
Click "Finish" on the PC
(To check if you succeeded, turn the device off (long power button press). Then hold the volume down button and turn the device on again, still holding the volume down button until the Tri-color screen shows up. It should read something like:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.OliNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707)
Remove and reinsert the battery to exit bootloader mode
You completed the first step and are now able to flash any ROM you want to your X1! (Well, at least any ROM made for the X1 of course ;-))
Steps 2-6 need only to be done once...from here on forward should you wish to flash another rom you do not need to install HardSPL again as it is already on your phone.
Flashing your Rom (The fun begins):
7. Rename the rom file you downloaded from whatever.nbh (usually it is ruu_signed.nbh) to Kovsimg.nbh (you can rename it on your pc or on your phone once you have transferred it over)
8. Start up the phone normally, if you have not already done so...then connect it to your pc...(at this point you can connect it without activesync, just as a memory card reader so that you can copy over your rom faster)
Copy your rom into the root of the memory card.
(You can also use any external memory card reader/writer connected to the pc and copy over the file)
Remeber to make sure all files have been deleted off your memory card.
9. Insert the memory card into the phone (You never know somebody might forget to do it :-S )
10. Turn off the phone completely, not standby mode (USB cable must not be attached)
11. Remove and reinsert the battery (This step can be skipped if you made sure you turned off the phone in step 10, this is just in case somebody put the phone in standby instead)
12. Hold down the volume down button and press the power button while still holding both of these buttons until the tri-color screen pops up.
13. Follow the onscreen instructions (It should install the rom +-5mins)
14. When you see the screen say "Succesfully updated", you can then go ahead and remove the battery and reinsert it.
Getting ready to see results (one last step):
Do not skip this step!!! This may result in errors!!!
15. Do a hard reset : Hold down the two silver buttons directly under the screen, while holding them down push the power button, you should then be presented with a screen that asks you to press "R" to reset your device....so go ahead and flip open the keyboard and press "R", when it completes it will ask you to press "Spacebar" to restart the device...go ahead..
16. You are done!
You have now flashed your rom....after it restarts please note the first time it starts up again will take longer than normal, you will be presented with all the normal setup's as you first did when you got your phone...
Like stylus setup and time and date etc...
With this particular rom that I flashed approximately 3/4mins after getting to the today screen a notification came up asking me to choose my operator and it then installed all the necessary connection settings for me....
You may also be asked to restart the device once more after the initial startup of the new rom, this is because upon first start up the rom may install some additional programs / cabs / tweaks which the "cooker" has cooked into the rom....
I cant think of anything more at this point, I tried to be as detailed as possible with this guide and use as much lame-man's terms as possible to make it clear and understandable....
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to post under this thread and I will answer to the best of my knowledge...
Once again thanks to XDA-Developers from whom I have learnt all of the above....

Thanks,
I have tomorrow off and will be flashing my rom tomorrow.
Now all I need to do is find the rom I want to use.
Is there a guide on all the different roms and what each one does and how it's different?
I know I want winmo 6.5 and htc touch.

Check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477801
The only way to know which ROM is best for you is to try each of them out and see how it "fits" your personality.
Enjoy flashing!
I have not had time to do the rom flash, and might find a few hours tomorrow.
I have one last question, has any one done flashed a virgin phone in windows 7?
thanks
Need some assistance, I'm at the step where I have copied the rom to my sd card, I have renamed it to Kovsimg.nbh
I hold volume down and power on, i get a message no image file found.
I'm trying to use Jack_3.5b_Full.
I have formated the the flash memory to fat32, the rom is the only file on the card.
I have started the phone and I can see the memory card ok and the flash file.
Does any one have any idea's?
Thanks

Ok I just reformated the sd card and now it's working, go figure.
After a rom update has anyone noticed that the screen flickers on the bottom third?
I have tried everything to get it to work when i hold down volume and power the screen with coloured bars says SPL 78.000 which I know is what SEUS Puts on and yes with official ROMS the RUU and SEUS works.
Whe I try to use olinex from SPL thread it goes through the phone reboot into coloured screen mode and says 52.olinex and then changes to the white flash screen with 0% after about a minute the RUU errors with [262] communitcation error and thats all I get re-boot and nothings changed.
I hae tried allsorts and been through xda found tips but none seem to work.
Anyone any ideas ???????
SOLVED
Fixed:
I copied the hardspl.nbh file to sd card and renamed it from RUU_Signed.nbh to Kovsimg.nbh
I copied Xperia-SSPL-Manual.exe to the sd card.
I ran Xperia-SSPL-Manual.exe on my xperia
It picked up the Bootloader image and installed it
After reboot it was stuck in loop trying to update the rom
I connected my X1 via USB to pc
I shut down active sync on pc an ran MTTY
Executed commands
set 16 0
set 14 0
boot
Placed a custom rom image on the sd card named: Kovsimg.nbh
Rebooted to loader
another solution for the error262 is that the usb3 is not complitable with spl and flashing try a port from the back of the pc and non usb 3...this worked for me
PROBLEM IS NOW FIXED USING THIS METHOD: LINK
Hi, i'm new on xda (have been reading stuff here for a while though)
I have flashed DarkyROM 10.2 Extreme, DarkyROM 10.2 Resurrection and CyanogenMod 7.1 before, but tonight disaster struck
I have searched here, googled my problem but so far, nothing worked so lets try it here.
Ok so i have a few problems:
1. When i power up my phone it boots normal, i get the darkyrom bootscreen and then it goes into the setup screen, just pressing next is suddenly says: "proces com.sec.android.app.phonesetupwizard has stopped" (or something like that), afther that it just restarts the setupscreen. edit: Problem has changed, it is now stuck at the bootscreen (the screen you see the first when you press the powerbutton)
2. When i connect my phone to my pc (in this case my laptop) is doesnt recognise it, and wont install the drivers. I Reinstalled KIES, i reinstalled the drivers manually, nothing helped.
edit: tried installing drivers manually different times, different drivers not working so far
3. I can boot into download and into recovery (in my case CWM) but i cant install zip from sd card, because i cant connect my phone to my laptop (as said above). I have tried putting it on my external sd card, and then try to install it from there trough CWM (install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > external_sd/) but it just says: "no files found"
4. Found out a minute ago (9:20 AM) that i can't power off my phone either, when i do it just reboots itself. i have to pull out the battery for it to stop (duh..), when i put it back in, it just continues until it gets stuck on problem nr 1. again
so right now, i have an phone that won't boot or connect and that i can't flash because it wont connect
narrowed it down to just the USB problem, it wont recognise any drivers
i hope this is still repairable
(sorry for some mistakes in english if there are any )
Get into download and flash a stock rom from there with pit, pda, modem, csc.
Then reflash cwm and your custom rom.

thanks for your reply, but i can't flash a stock rom as my phone wont connect to my pc, so i can't put anything on the sdcard to flash.
already have Odin + stock files waiting, but i can't do anything yet
Did you try a different usb-port and/or cable?
yes i tried all usb-ports on my laptop, haven't tried another cable though as i do not have one that fits, i am now trying to connect my phone to my desktop pc to see if it is recognised there (laptop has win7, pc has win xp)
As long as you can get to download, the consensus around here seems to be that it's fixable. Just a matter of finding the tools;-) but you may have to get another cable.

it didn't work on my desktop pc either (desktop had win7 not xp) so could that mean the cable is just broken, as it seems to me its a driver problem
edit: alright its not the cable, my brother has the same phone and it works for him, installed the drivers (exept one called galaxy s >.<) and i could see his phone at "my computer" so its not a cable problem
edit 2: some extra info (dont think it matters): my brother has CyanogenMod 7.1 at the moment
Ok, too bad that would have been real easy;-)
Have a look at the last post, seems a similar situation.

didnt work, wont intall drivers correctly, also phone will show up as "unknown device" in zadig.exe
also using heimdall is impossble as it doens't recognises my phone
edit: tried it on a friend's laptop, same error, not recognising usb
if only there was a way to flash trough external usb, that would probably work right? as i can put files on my external sd, but not via usb cable to internal sd
i had a similar issue once, nothing was recognized when connected via USB.
the problem was gone after i had powered off the phone and taken out the battery for some time (half an hour or so).

i guess CWM shows the content of my external SD when i select "choose zip from internal SD" (confusing!). did you try that?

when i go into CWM and do this:

Does your phone "react" if you plug in the charger?

how do you mean exactly?
i can't turn of the phone without removing the battery, and when i put the battery back in it boots automaticly and then hangs on the bootscreen.
in recovery i don't get any "reaction", in download mode i also get no "reaction"
so i guess i get no reaction if i plug in the charger
have u tried to put all the files u need to flash the phone on the external sdcard? use a card reader connected to your pc, copy them to the card, put the card back in your phone, boot cwm and select
install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard and select the external one. I always flash from my external sdcard.
hope this helps
that is exactly what i did, but the only 2 options i get are voodoo/ and clockworkmod/ there is no option to select the external sd, i think it isn't mounting it correctly or something

ok, so you don't have an additional option called "choose zip from internal sdcard"? i think that depends on your CMW version (i'm running v5.x).
unfortunately, no more ideas so far...

no i dont have any additional option.
my CWM version is: CwM Dark Core Recovery v.3.0.2.8x (dont know if it helps :S)
thanks anyway for trying
So I brought myself in a bad situation.
Here's a video showing what the phone does and me trying to get into CWM:

I was trying to root my sony xperia z1 compact using this guide: http ://techglen. com/2014/02/05/root-xperia-z1-compact-d5503-4-3-14-2-a-1-114-official-firmware/
Following the steps it asked me to CWM 6 using this guide: http ://techglen. com/2014/02/05/install-cwm-6-on-xperia-z1-compact-d5503-4-3-14-2-a-1-114-official-firmware/2
I checked firmware and version of my phone and everything was correct.
I must admit I have no clue as to what I'm doing but I'm normally ok with tech stuff and the guide seemed detailed and trust worthy so I thought I could do it following the guide.
I got the bootloading unlocked just fine and started to install CWM. I made it this far:
- After downloading CWM kernel zip (Its not the actual name of file, just a reference name), place it in internal or external SD Card of your smartphone
- Now extract CWM kernel zip on your PC’s desktop and copy boot.img
- Paste this file inside the folder where you have installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot
- Now turn off your smartphones completely
- Plug in mobile’s USB in cable in PC port only
- Hold Volume up button and plug in USB cable in mobile’s port
- LED will turn blue (If it does not remain blue for long, then read Optional part in bootloader unlocking method explained above
- Once you are successfully in fastboot mode, then you can continue
- Now type Fastboot flash boot boot.img and press Enter
- It will flash boot.img file on your device
- Now unplug the device and boot it up
- As soon as you see purple colored LED, start pressing volume up and down buttons repeatedly, until you are in CWM mode
- In CWM Mode, select “Install Zip”

I downloaded CWM .img file, placed it in my ADB folder and placed a copy on my phone. Using ADB I flashed the CWM .img (bolded step), unplugged the phone and the CWM screen came up and I was able to navigate using the volume buttons. So far so good.
At this point I realized that the CWM .img file I had downloaded and placed on my phone was not a zip file and I couldn't find it. So I hit reboot to boot up my phone normally so I could place the .img packed as a .zip file on the phone. Some error message came up, but I didn't manage to read it but caught something saying root I think.
As it rebooted the sony logo came up but then the purple led turned on and it seemed to boot into CWM again. A brief screen explaining how to navigate came up as you see in the video below (but with no menu options to actually navigate) before it rebooted and repeated.
I can still use ADB and fastboot, but I can't get into CWM and I can't boot normally.
Edit: Just tried "adb devices" and it says "list of devices attached" and then it's just blank. I can't push files onto the phone (error: device not found) but I can still reboot the device fusing fastboot and there's no error when I try and reflash cwm. Reading up on this it would seem that usb debugging has somehow been turned back on so adb can't acces the phone but fastboot can. Any way to turn on usb debugging through fastboot?
I tried a forced shutdown using the off button next to the sim card but it didn't help.
The phone is not recognized by my computer so I can't place or delete files from it.
Here's a video showing what the phone does and me trying to get into CWM:
http ://www .youtube. com/watch?v=5F2Gg_eU7Yw
If I don't press the volume button it will just keep looping in the sony logo and purple led light.
What I want to do is get back to a normal boot, remove the CWM .img file and put the .img file packed as .zip file onto the phone and retry the process.
I have googled a lot of options, but most results are a year old and I hardly understand half of what is being suggested. If anyone could please walk me through the process in a language that a total idiot can understand I would be so grateful and hopefully get my sleep back.

I hope you made a backup of your phone.
It may be worth wiping everything and flashing the Z1 stock firmware on to your phone. Stock firmwares can be found relatively easily by using Google. There are also lots of different video tutorials on YouTube on how to how to revert back to stock firmware and on how you can escape bootloops. Try this: www. youtube. com/watch?v=j4gm9VeQCHA
