Hi there guys, I'm also one of those X1 users who suffers from the flex-cable problem (when the x1 is slided open, the screen turns black). It's a hardware issue so I want to send it in.
Now I wanna know if anyone had trouble sending in his or her X1 with a custom firmware.
I can't advice on that as it would void your warranty
restore stock rom first, you can dl fom pavelx1 thread in rom dev stickies
then restore stock spl fom olinex thread (also in rom dev stickies)
cheers
I just was asking because it is clear that I have a hardware malfunction and it has got nothing to do with the software used.
And living in germany I am happy that our laws are a bit more consumerfriendly then elsewere...
I will probably get the latest offical german rom back on but that's about it!

Hi DK,
i sent my x1 back with a custom spl flashed to it, but not a custom rom. i got away with it they fixed the screen, the case and my volume button, i would have put forward the same argument as you though with it being a hardware fault. But ive read a few times people saying they can be really funny about the custom SPL or the ROM and void your warranty, if i was you id just flash the latest X1 offical rom stick it in a parcel and post it away to sony. but you do it at your own risk to be completely sure ur going to get the A* sony service, if avalible.. flash your spl and your rom. Peace out XDA'rz.
If i were you i'd just flash it becase you dont want them to get it and then charge you the postage of sending it back...
You can't get away with HardSPL anymore.

My baby just came back.
Not only did they fix the flexcable issue, as I asked they changed the battery cover and the whole chrome-like plastic (it had some cracks). Thank you SE:Service
One thing though - they also updated my SW!
How do I find out if it is still flashable (HardSPL still there)?
Just take a .nhb file and see if it will be accepted - using the SD card method?
Rom Version: 1.05.932.7
Rom Date: 03/24/09
simple: enter boot loader, if it says SPL-0.78.0000 you are on stock spl (I expect so), if it says SPL-0.72.OliNex you are still on h-spl
congratz to successful service btw
Yes it was stock spl again
I tried to HardSPL it on my W7Pro/64Bit machine - always ended in error 200 (no conncetion). Even not inside of XP Mode
But I also have a W7HomePre/32Bit machine here - it went a litte further, until the tri-color screen. But then I got a new errorcode 260.
Well I had to deactivate a windows function called "Microsoft.NetFramework3.5.1". Strange cause you need .Net to run the App but it worked.
@Windows7
Control Panel -> Programs (where you can delete your progs) -> Windowsfunction enable / disable -> uncheck "Microsoft.NetFramework3.5.1".
I translated the way from that german thread:
http://www.se-world.info/sony-ericsson-xperia-x1-xperia-x2/250606-hardspl-geht/
"Systemsteuerung -> Programme und Funktionen -> Windowsfunktionen ein- oder ausschalten."
Now let's see which rom I'll take
Any recom. for german roms? I want speed and will end up using SP Mobile Shell so no fancy **** plz
BTW - when I start the device the green WinMo6.1 screen really flickers, until I see the Todayscreen where everything is fine again...
What's up with thad?!?
congratz and interesting piece of information, thx
there are not many ger roms, have a look at rom dev section (x1owner, TAI_sw, Sorata4u, Xkan, norti,?) and try them until you've found your personal favorite
cheers

Was updating my dads SPV M700 to WM6 and have hit a problem ....
The rom image updated ok, and I used AX3L's 2.0.8.
Unfortunately during the GSM update the software crashed, and froze at 51%. I had to re-boot and now I can't use the phone.
When I re-set the phone it says No GSM at the HTC screen and then stops loading at the WM6 front page.
I can get into the Bootloader by pressing the Power/Camera/Reset buttons, but when I try to re-flash GSM is says error 270, corrupt image. I have tried several files with no luck.
I would appreciate a hand ..... My dad is going to kill me
Thanks
gaz_az
try press
power button + camera + reset
to enter usb mode
then reflash the radio again.
hope this works
You can try 2 other things!
Download the Radio ROM again- you may have had a downlaod glitch in the 1st one. V1.38 is the best one to try.
Download and install the offical HTC WM5 ROM- this should be a full ROM including Radio, so sometimes completes more effectively. If you are brave, you can them retry the WM6 flash!
since bricking a hermes i stopped taking chances doing rom upgrades via usb..
the method that is most reliable ad safe is... via SD card
extract RUU_signed file from the upgrade pack (use winrar) and then copy it to the root of a blank sd (mini or micro etc) and rename to TRINIMG.nbh ..enter bootloader and follow the steps.. its fast and most reliable
Ok - Thanks for the help, but no luck so far. I have tried the suggestions above !
Heres what I have done ...
Hard reset - no change
Tried to re-flash with WM6 and WM5 cooked roms, but an error comes up saying the images are corrupt. This happens with any image I try.
I have also tried a legit HTC WM5 rom upgrade image, but it doesn't work either. It gives an error at 1% saying invalid device ID.
What I can do it get into the standard bootloader screen, which shows I have a USB connection when plugged in. If I allow the phone to boot up it stops at the WM6.0 picture. It won't go far enough to allow me to get an activesync connection.
ANy more adivice would be greatly appreciated !

Next thing then, is to try and obtain a downloaded Orange M700 ROM- there are a few links hereabouts.
For some reason, your device seems to want only its home ROM. If that fails there are other methods before sending back to Orange!
I downloaded an Orange rom, but still no luck. It gets to 1% again, then says there is a error/corrupt image file. Same as any of other cooked images !
What next ??
well if you were my son, i would advice you,to buy a plane ticket for somewhere very far,leave the house while i sleep,and pray every day you have left in your life,for not find you on my way
uhm, question about boot loader and flash on boot loader mode.
I copy file TRINIMG.nbh to root card mini SD, and i can't go as you say...
always Tri colors screen....

You are running out of options
Your choices now are to go further down the 'fiddling' route, or give up and return the phone to Orange for repair. At least if its is stuck in bootloader, they may not spot that you have been meddling
If you want to play more, there are very few Trinity specific fixes, but possibly some of the questions/answers in the Hermes WiKi may help, though the Bootloader versions etc won't be relevant.
[Edit: When you are in Bootloader mode, what version numbers are showing on the screen?]
is it so wrong i was smiling when i read this.
does make me wonder if u told ur dad what u were going to do or whether u were trying to be cocky by giving him a better phone without him knowing.
all i can say is, UNLUCKY !
I must say things are looking bad - I think it would take an original orange SPV rom if I could get one. Been to the orange website, but no luck !! Anyone know if orange released one ??
Been looking at the Hermes unbrick thread. Is there a way to enter KITL debug mode in the trinity ??
G
P.S. Dad knew I was upgrading the phone, already did it once for him and it went ok. No sure he knew I could acutually kill it
No Orange haven't released an official rom.
Well Orange UK haven't Orange FR have, so unless he speaks and reads french that's not an option.
Well, French or not, you've probably got nothing to lose by trying to load the official French ROM
Go Here and click the Mise-a-jour link (which is French for ROM) and it will open a zip file download without the need to verify the IMEI number.
If that doesn't work, nothing will! If it does load, you will at least have a working phone, even if it is in French, and you can go back over the ROM update again, remembering to apply the SPL Bootloader first!
Still "not allow", i don't know what the hell Orange was doing with P3600?
Lock everything?........it's suck !!!
No luck with the French ROM. Same thing gives an error message about wrong device ID.
I am one step from chucking it in the bin. Any more last minute ideas ??
erh, bizzard,i can't use "wtty.exe" to view my CID ...
i tape "info 2"and it always appear
Cmd>info 2
CID: Wait interpreter timeout
HTCSF kEØ(HTCE
Cmd>
...............................
Someone have issue for that?
If i can view CID code,i think i can find the right ROM to re-vivre...all suck !!!
erh, hey guy, your boot loader is english or french? sorry if it's the most stupid question of the day......i think french device use french boot loader,right?
i mean, when screen tri-color appear, use mini SD card to flash ROM, the language it apprear itself is english or french.
p/s : i was telephone to the HTC center, and they say as usual, send it to the center repair.
For french user address is : be sure u have enough garanty which required.
send them and make them crazy.....

thank anyway,i will try it before tomorrow,cause i will send them my device for repair.
I got xperia for about 7 months now. Back in feb. 2009 i installed the update service suite from SE and upgraded my rom following the onscreen indications...everything worked fine and i was happy 'till now when i want to update the rom again.
So...i download the new version of update service from SE website...install it, do exacly as they say but i can't get my phone detected when the colour lines appear...it goes from serial to usb a few times then i get the message on the PC...it can't detect my device. I pugged out everything from my laptop, changed the **** usb port, rebooted, killedmyself a few times but nothing works. I use Windows XP sp3 and it's the same laptop i used back in february when everything worked fine.
PS: this is my last SE phone...it's inacceptable that a phone like this (highend and pricy) would crack on the volume buttons side. At least for me Xperia was simply not a good way to go.
Try turning off and on the "allow usb connections" box in Device Center/ Active Sync settings. That was the only thing that worked for me.
I tried that too...does not work. I can see the bar indicator for 2-3 seconds at 0% then the device resets and tries again. Also from time to time i see a screen with "no image loaded" or something. If i reboot it the device works ok with the rom it has installed now.
Which rom do you use?
Have you try to make a hard reset just before trying to use update service?
No...i didn't try a hard reset...will try.
These are my official rom details :
ROM version: 1.03.931.10
ROM date: 02/02/2009
Radio version: 1.10.25.18
I can't belive it's so hard updating something the way the manufacturer intended to and pointed the user too
Ok...hard-reset does not do anything good ether. On the coloured screen i get this information :
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0liNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
Please help before i crush it and throw it away
The issue is your SPL: you have Olinex SPL but update service doesn't work with it!!!
Flash back to stock SPL
Flash back what...the rom that is now installed as u see in the first posts is like 02.02.2009 ... how do i flash it back ? can u be more specific or point me exacly how to do it? i don't wanna mess it up. Cheers.
The information you gave show SPL 0.72 Olinex
I think you try several custom rom before flashing back to stock rom
Olinex SPL is needed for custom rom but update service doesn't work if you have it on your phone
Go here to flash back to stock SPL
After that, update service should work
on other hand, try to download one of the latest rom's found here on xda, rename it to kovsimg.nbh an perform an update trough the sd method. works too, you know. if you do so then SEUS will allow updating again, no need to revert back to stock spl, at least, that was in my case... long time ago.
I wrote an email to sony ericsson giving this info and i'm waiting to see their "official" answer to this issue. I wanna do this the official way...don't wanna mess up something.
If you guys still have ideas i could use feel free.... cheers.

P.S. This is just too funny!
Dan White...did u read the first posts? I didn't hack anything....i updated my rom back in feb with a new OFFICIAL rom and that was that (the phone still works with that one) and now i wanna do another OFFICIAL update...how did i hack it ?

you see that SPL - 0.72 is from 0linex? Stock SE rom doesn't come with 0linex.
Really, you must have did hard-spl to your device... no way you could not have done it.... unless.... you've bought a refurbished x1 and they have only restored the stock rom for you, that's why you could update once..
Really, think again, think hard... we are here trying to hep you and based on the info you gave us, we can only see that the device been hard-spl -ed.
like i said earlier, download an official Rom, rename the nbh file to kovsimg.nbh and copy it to your microsd, power off your device, hold both volume down and power button at the sametime untill a tri-color screen pop's up, followed by a grey screen and follow instructions. link to official roms:

Really, your phone is not stock anymore, but that's better anyway...

I understand what you mean. I will do as you indicated tonight but please belive me that i only did 1 update in february and i did it trought SE update service and it worked back then (that's all i did and that's why i'm amazed).
Thank you for the info and i will be back to post news.
Ok...managed to upgrade my rom to R3 but i can't hardspl to ruusigned_072stockspl.
As you can see in the first picture the hardspl detects the image from within the phone (1.05.931.10) and the one that i want to install (0.72.stockspl). I go forward, the phone goes into 3 color mode and then i get the error 284 as seen in the second picture.
I changed the usb port but no luck.
God i swear this is my last smartphone
Forgot to upload the pictures...here they are.
i'm having the same problem as you are. I updated my phone to the R2A version around April. Now when I try to update my phone it doesn't detect my phone. i checked the boot loader screen and it also doesn't show the stock SPL. I don't know how can Sony Ericsson Update Service do this to our phones.
Did you do the sd card boot for the R3A version? I'm going to try this tonite and see if it works.
Yes, there's a post in this thread that points you to the link with stock windows mobile roms. I upgraded to R3 just using sd card. But the hardspl is very stubborn...i could not get it work. By the way what is hardspl and what is the difference between the 2 roms? one si for windows software and hardspl is like the 'bios' so to speak?
Anyone had this problem...please help me to get the hardspl stock.
Hello out there.....
First of all i have to say THX to all these people which are really willing to help every1 with their great tutorials. Ive used alot of them already. Thanks.
And i have to say sorry for my english language, due Im german and i left school behind long time ago. I'm really taken pains to write this comment.
Now, in my case ive tried to restore my device (Xperia X1i) to OEM status step by step as its shown in this thread.
My worst issue is that my touchscreen aint work anymore after i flashed a custom ROM and that i got stock at the point where the ROM wants to configure the OS like "Tap the screen to continue with configuration".
Ive tried to flash way too much ROMs using HardSPL but the touchscreen wont let me do anything - no reaction.
So how can I restore the bootloader (SPL) on my device, when my touchscreen aint work? How can I take the following step without any working ROM ?
sirsycho said:
12. Run SSPL.KAIS.exe from your phone (make sure you do this on your actual device and not your PC)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I do not know what I did wrong, that the screen wont react anymore, but im sure that the SPL is the cause for this disaster.
I'm really desperate couz i already have sent the device to the SE Support, where they told me that there is an "extraneous" on my device although ive flashed the Stock ROM firstly... there was still something that bothered them...
After i got the device back the touchscreen worked again as funny, allthough the support did nothing on the device as they said in the delivery.
A bit skeptical but with alot of happiness i kept on flashing some ROMs after that.
Now, after i found a good ROM and kept this one on my device for some days the screen doesnt work again.....
This is what my bootloader says right now
Code:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.OliNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
....seems like the HardSPL is still there......
Honistly i had to apollogize (maybe too late) that this part of using a cellphone (flashing a ROM using HardSPL etc.) is a big fish and that ive underrated it. Now i have a 400$-Device which aint work anymore
Ive read like all Tutorials here at xda-devs containing something about flashing a ROM or informations about SPLs; tried everything
I feel like im lost and fu**ed right now....
Is there any1 can help me with my problem?
Hopefully there is.....i pray for him
first flash a stock rom
then just run the hard-spl exe, and replace the ruu_signed.nbh file
why are you trying to use kaiser spl?
use the things found in the hardspl sticky in the xperia section
Wrong Tutorial
You're using tutorial for wrong device (HTC Kaiser)
The correct tutorial is in first post (extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
But before restoring original hardspl you should flash with original rom found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
wow thanks for your answers !!
i never thought ill get response.
Its really weird that i havnt found that tut before bcuz i was looking through whole board.
I will try do that tomorrow.
I hope that it will work then. Don't wanna pay 300$ for a new device
Else there is mtty to restore the bootloader
Aight i have done the steps showing in the tutorial.
1. I have flashed teh Stock ROM (R2A german - Vodafone)
2. I've used the RUU with the stockSPL given in that post.
Now my tricolour screen shows the following
Code:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
This is what it shall looks like OliNex said.
I hope this is all i had to do, to make use of my device's guarantee, cuz the touchscreen still doesnt work
Seems like i really have to send my Xperia to the Support again (now hopefully with a ROM + SPL they wont reject)
But if i send my device with "extraneous" again i have to pay another 15€ just for let them do a costs estimate -.-
I would like to get a reply before i make use of the support again.
Thanks for all your help
Glad to hear recovering to stock rom + spl worked out.
Your touchscreen doesn't work when you have booted up windows?
If that's correct then I suggest to send in the device for service. Although
it might not help I suggest updating your device with SE updating service (SEUS) first.
After the flash remove the battery for 10 seconds, then turn it on.
Hope it helps and otherwise servicing the device is free of charges
Haha!
That's what im doing right now, using SEUS
Thanks for the tip with the battery but i already tried that way too often
Edit:
Ok, touchscreen still aint work....
Time to contact the support...at 11:45 PM **WOOT
nvm....Ill wait till tomorrow
gn8 and thanks for helping me with my issue ^^
a few days ago I returned my silver X1 for the same issue, my touch screen (digitizer) doesn't work. Then right in front of SE support person, he justed took out the battery and rebooted. Then it worked. The thing is, I did the same thing several times earlier that day and it did NOT worked. I am worrying of getting the same problem again and I only have until november 30th until my 1 year warranty expires. I haven't tried any cooked roms and it is because of warranty purpose. Altough I'm not new to custom roms since I own an Alpine and a Prophet. I've been here for some time now.
The thing that holds me back testing cooked roms on my Xperia is the aftermath if in case my device goes half-dead. I almost always read the restoring on to official roms everytime I get here, but still the thousand dollar spent on my phone's tag price comes with a fear of who's gonna rescue if my phone won't work. And to add that spare parts aren't available here as of the moment. And yes I'm eager and very curious about almost everyone saying cooked 6.5 is faster than stock roms but though I haven't tested it I have to disagree for now on my case basis.
First, my Xperia doesn't come with a carrier lock. It's locally called "open line" in my country I guess technically called debranding. Then my phone has the generic r3a rom via seus I think it's generic uk. Lastly, for some reasons, the touchflo 3d doesn't work with my device I've tried it since r1 firmware time. Some response told me to unlock-debrand my phone first but I dont have to since it isn't locked. Still installing tf3d makes my phone hang, doesn't uninstall, doesn't show in the themes list if installed as a theme, and doesn't let me have another panel since it always stay as tf3d whenever I choose another one. And it is very unstable in my device. These happened even if I install it as a panel.
I feel handsets here are faster than handsets that are locked by a carrier so I'm thinking again since for now, my Xperia works for me as stock as it is.
Hello guys,
I am having serious issues with my HD, and the best solution is to send it back to be repaird, or trow it away...
F.Y.I. the problem is screen going black, or without backlight, or not starting quick, and continuing black.. or the infamous "MICROP FIRMWARE MISMATCH"
To make it a bit worse, I bought it second hand, and I have to prey that the phone is not 2 years old... (guess to be seing in the sticker info on stock number, or part number...).
So... I had a lot of fun in this forum, installing HSPL, and diferent roms.., and guess.., I have to put everything back to original to try to get it fixed.
First, I will show what the info on the Phone is..
R 1.13.25.24
G 52.62.25.34U
D 1.56.47501
BLACK100 32M
SPL-1.56 OLINEX
My questions (and I guess lots of people's question too) are:
1) How to downgrade my SPL to an "official" one
2) Which one could that be (number)
3) Which official rom to use (number), to make it matching SPL.. MUST BE AN WM 6.1
4) Is my radio version "stock"?
5) can I flash Stock rom, and then AFTER stock SPL? to avoid to have to use USPL to flash stock rom after..
6) Does the Stock rom comes with its own radio?
Requests
1)Dummie capable help
2)Where to find stock SPL'S for this phone.
3)Some link to tutorials HOW TO...flash stock SPL
4)Link to downloads to WM 6.1 stock rom (HTC Support doesn,t have them, only upgrades). Dutch should be the languaje, but if not, WWE should do...
5) Where to get some luck...
I know its a lot what I am asking, but, after hours of looking arround, and lots of tabs on my explorer, I am just confused..., and believe that many people are in the same situation.
I have ony seeing upgrade guides, but not yet an downgrade guide sticking nowhere, and ways of dealing with manufacturer due hardware problems, and I mean, the way to set your phone back to standar, or the proper way to back up everything before we make it "really user friendly", which, acording to manufacturer, is ILEGAL,
Everybody's reply's will be trully apreciated
Well, I found the "STOCK" rom on the HTC site.
It has already the radio included.
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_NLD_1.56.404.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship
For everybody's info, the only way to download it, is by filling the Serial number of the phone (behind the battery) in the HTC Website(support).
It was an unlocked phone, so, I choosed EU version, and after filling the serial number, gave me automatic.. Dutch languaje (good enough to send it to Service).
So, I guess that if you want to change the lenguaje of your phone on an official rom, and is not possible with your phone serial, you will just have to request it.
I just flashed it with SPL 1.56 OLINEX, and he just won't start..., just have to let him rest couple of hours, or try to start it tomorrow (vibrates after 1 minute, and wont start), so, If everything goes ok, .. stock SPL, and "send it back"
This might be helpful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217.
First you have to sure what was your original SPL version, and Radio version.
Good luck.
I flashed thesame rom when I had to send my phone back to claim warranty. I use spl 1.14. My phone was repaired for free so I think I did it right ^^
edit: just follow the guide philrom posted anf you'll be fine . The stock rom you flashed already includes a (stock) radio, so after flashing spl 1.14 our phone is good to go
1.14... and will be ok for warranty.... so, 1.14 will be
Apreciate the info, let's hope that service will do their job, so I can go back to WM 6.5!! , and off course custom roms..
Again, tks. I will let you know how everithing turned out.

So my problem is - I put android on my htc tytn II and it worked (well kinda) but anyway I decided to switch back to Windows Mobile...
I installed 1.27.x.x radio , found a Windows Mobile 6 ROM and put (Like in the instructions ) Kaisimg.nbh(renamed from ruu_signed.nbh) and Kaisdiag.nbh to my SD card and then started flashing... It flashed smth,rebooted automatically and started booting android again...
Then I hold again camera button + power+ reset and since then when I put EVERY .nbh file on my sd card and try to flash it it STUCK on "Loading.." If I try to flash it with USB It stays at 0%.
The only exeption is if I try to flash from USB the rom that I tried to flash before from my sd card.. then it starts 0%..1% and reboot the phone...
P.S: Please help me...I think my device is not Broken but I dont know what should I do to fix it...
To flash back to WM from android put your kaiser into bootloader (multi colored screen) Then connect to usb. Download any WM build that is recent (I suggest Phoenix 3 for this, you can flash whatever you want later). After you download it open and run the included RUU that came with it and it will flash it on there.
hmm, I also had experienced the similar problem on my 1st time flashing back to WinMo.
When you are trying to flash via USB cable and the process stopped at 1% I guess there is also a message about "Invalid vender ID" right?
and if the text in your bootloader (tricolor screen) doesn't mention anything about hard such as "3.29.0000" (not "3.29.hard")
then
you've lost your hard SPL that's why you cant flash any .nbh to your phone.
I had managed to solve this problem by flashing stock WM rom for kaiser. The rom also has to be suitable for your phone, I mean if your kaiser is originally from France, then use French kaiser stock rom. Or if you are using AT&T Tilt use kaiser cingular stock rom.
you can find the list of shipped roms for kaiser here :
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Kaiser/
If you still have the "invalid vender ID" error message, try another stock ROM.
Thanks man you're my hero! I though I lost my phone.. anyway i bought new one - Nokia 2730 Classic but Ill sell the kaiser...
Thanks Anyway ... you're god!
Have the same problem...
Firstly, I'd like to point that the reason for the hard SPL getting overwritten by an original SPL is NOT HAVING UPDATED HARDSPL to a newer version that prevents accidental overwrite. This is instructed in the previous steps before actually installing Android. That was my mistake (I had HardSPL 1.0 OliPof), and now I can't flash no rom to my Kaiser (which thankfully works quite well in Android).
What happens (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that "KAISDIAG.NBH" is a modified, standalone hardSPL that will flash to the phone the SPL that comes with the "KAISIMG.NBH" you put in your SD card with "KAISDIAG.NBH"). In my case, I used the WinMo 6.1 spanish version 3.29.412.0, which, resulted in my phone being flashed with the original SPL 3.29.
Now, it seems many users have fixed this locating the correct stock rom and flashing it in their Kaisers. But to others, like myself, nothing seems to work. I believe that this is because we not only need a stock rom for our specific Kaiser model, but also it has to be compatible with the SPL that accidentally got installed in the phone. The problem is what if such rom doesn't even exists?
I'm really thankfull for all I learned by reading the forums (and from my mistakes ) and I know I'm in no position to make requests, but here goes what I think could help the users like myself to fix this, if posible:
1) Guide to identify what model of Kaiser we have (maybe it's already there, I just couldn't find it)
2) Complete list (or lists) of stock roms (There are some around, those are easy to find I think, but it doesn't hurt to share different sources)
3) Something like a JumpSPL for Android would be more than awesome...
Thanks in advance to everybody, sorry for my own stupidity . Any idea or help would be much appreciated,
Daniel
hmm, I'm not sure if it has to be compatible with the SPL.
In my case, I was flashing a very old WWE stock rom which has original SPL 1.56.
I also had been very desperate because any stock rom I found seems doesn't work and I even didn't know where originally my kaiser came from because I get it from my uncle. So I tried to flash any WWE stock rom I could found but nothing works. I read from Wikipedia that based on my phone model (Kais100), this model was only sold as AT&T tilt for US. But the problem is my phone is HTC branded, not AT&T tilt. Well, based on this information I also tried to flash some cingular stock rom but the result was just the same.
After contacting HTC Customer care, I know more info about my phone. They told me that based on my phone product ID, my kaiser was originally shipped for US, but unfortunately they can't provide me stock rom for my phone model. So I searched myself but this time I had better objective : to search HTC branded rom but for US.
finally, after days of search. I've found the rom that is suitable for my phone. Its called HTC WWE Brightpoint US which has original SPL 3.29 at the bottom of the list on the website I told you on my previous post.
few weeks ago I also accidentally overwrite my HardSPL again, but this time I did it with the stock ROM which has original SPL 3.29. But this problem also solved by flashing the stock ROM I've found before via USB cable.
So, I guess it has nothing to do with spl version.
Keep tying don't give up.
Update: Step 1 completed! YAY
Using the serial number and some obscure google searching, I came to the conclusion my KAIS130 is australian. Cheers, mate!
I verified this by being able to download stock roms from the australian HTC site with my Kaiser serial number. But at the moment of writing this, have downloaded two roms and no luck yet. 5 minutes remaining for the third one... Wish me luck...

Well... Now what?
Tried all four rom-like thingies I could download on the HTC page, all of them returning error 294...
Now what? try to somehow extract the .nbhs from the exes and and use customRUU.exe? Try to flash from SD card?
Please help... Any ideas... I really want to get rid from that original SPL3.29.0000 It's evil!!! I think it won't never let me flash again.
Thanks,
Daniel

sorry to hear that..
well, extract the .nbh from exe and flash it via sd card is the method that made me overwrite my hard SPL in the first place.
hmm, did your phone comes with operator brand, such as three or something?

No, it's HTC unbranded. Now, something strange here: the label behind the battery has the serial number: HT830GB06075 and the P/N (guess it's part number) :99HCY194-00, but to the left of the camera, another label with the part number: 36H00563-00M and below says DATE:061107(TB02)/US.
I don't know if that's normal, but it caught my atention because my phone seems to have been dissasembled (little label over screw is teared). Maybe my Kaiser isn't Australian after all...
