Question! Need expert's help! - XPERIA X1 ROM Development

I have been using Manila Rom's for a while now and i never had any problem with updating weather etc. But then I flashed an X2 Rom, and then went back to a manila Rom and now weahter won't update anymore... Weather for other city's will update but "my location" won't. I cannot understand why because it worked perfectly before. I tried various Rom's but the problem remained and then I tired task29 to wipe my device but still no luck!
Now I can only get my weather to update using Settings->Miscelaneous settings->AutoData Config and then it works but the problem is that not all manila Rom's have this option, and none of the non-manila Rom's have it so the amount of Rom's I can use is limited.
Does anyone know a solution that will keep working eventhough I flash diffrent Rom's?? It would be greatly appreciated!!

Ok so now i want to try flashing the stock dutch Rom for Xperia to see if that will help. But the dutch Rom won't flash.. It is an .image file instead of a .nbh file. Any answers for this??

rename to *.nbh...

Lol, fail

Ok so I flashed a stock Rom, hoping that it would somehow revert whatever is causing 'my locations' not to update but it still doesn't work
I am going crazy over here and I have no ideas left
Please someone make a suggestion even if it doesn't make sense!!

Did you read this?

3.21.90 Radio cab?

Please help me out i am looking for a radio that would enhance my signal and i had it on my previous rom but then i updated my rom to the open touch 6.0 biggy. Any assistance in this would be very greatful. Thanks in advance.
you have to flash the radio.
it doesnt come in cab format
have you ever done it before? cuz i do not know how i would go about that. Do i have to intertwine it with the ROM or do i do it by itself. I have never done this before do you think you can walk me thru or tell me how..
get the radio(its an .nbh file) put it in the folder that the open touch .nbh was in and flash it like a normal rom.
nothing will happen to your rom so dont worry about that
ok sounds easy enought thank you. By any chance do you know what link i can follow to get the radio file? i have looked and searched throughout the forums but i have not been able to find it.

Some help please - flashing x1 to Touch-IT

Hi,
I was really hoping to do this without having to ask for guidance!!
I have backed up my ROM via Kovskykitchen: all OK and nice clear tutorial! thx..
I have X1_HardSPL_V1 ready to run..
I have the Touch-IT Experience ROM..
I think I follow the process but have a question about HARDSPL : Once I have completed the process - will I be able to use the phone at that point - or will I have to flash a new ROM to use it? i.e. is HARDSPL just an unlock so to speak or does it wipe the phone?- been reading this very helpful thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070 by Phenx - ta..
Flashing the new rom:
all the detailed tutorials seem to be the MicroSD method.. I can't find a decent X1 walkthrough using activesync...
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm obviously searching wrong..
Thanks!!
(One other question: will flashing affect my sim contacts? Thanks)
I'll try and answer ur questions to the best of my ability but i can't say i know much about what hardspl is besides the ultimate tool
After you hardspl u will be able to use ur phone as normal. I believe it still has the same stock rom on it but again i'm not sure but i do know u will be able to use it.
There is a way to use activesync and its fairly simple. Establish a connection through activesync and then run the rom update utility and follow the instructions. This is the only method i've ever used and i've been flashing my phone since the wizard.
Hope this helps
Thanks, thats given me a little more confidence
What flash util would you recommend? or do you mean the one with the HARDSPL download?
I would suggest backing up your contacts to your sim card, pull your memory card and then flash AFTER you hrdspl the phone. The hrdspl enabled you to be able to flash the phone to another rom, it will not interfere with the operation of the phone afterwards.

Most ROM's are packed together with the flash prog. I do recommend the microSD method, as it's less prone to murphy's law.
always use the sd way, it far by the safest.
your sim contact will be left on the sim the other contacts yo want to backup.
hardspl is a unlock only utility, wont affect your phone, rom.
ive done it throught the sd way ...and its really simple and no problems, i had a few problems with hardspl ...but got that sorted quick enough.
yeah so i'd recommend the sd way.
Well don't have a microSD so did it via activesync...
HARDSPL - was painless - click - click, go make coffee - done!
I mistook the ROM update in the Touch zip for another HARDSPL.. It was infact (obviously) the update util needed.. Flashed to Touch-it .21 - As easy as HARDSPL....
I have noticed 1 bug but its a tiny thing: the ok or x in the top right doesnt show when in any menu... Hard reset didnt fix it.. no problem though as the OK or x is there just not lit up..
Can anyone confirm that to change to another ROM, I would just replace the RUU file in the update util folder?
Thanks for everyones help!

yes to the second, just replace the RUU.
and I'd recommend trying wktask http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html
instead of the taskmanager. (disable the task manager through settings) then you can make the X pretty and useful!
well thats the icing on the cake!! cheers - worked a treat.. thanks all

I thought it'd make a nice app for me, but it doesn't work well. Messes up my entire top bar.

flashed my phone like 10 times now and NEVER used the SD version.
so from my point of view ... usw the USB version. saves loads of time.
plugin USB
sync if not allready done
start update and click a few times
done
download file on x1, save to sdcard,,,,, rename flash, much easier doesnt require windows pc can be done anywhere and less chance of failure
must have flashed different devices well over 100 times
probably a stupid question, but right now i have the Touch-IT 2.1 rom on my phone, if i want to Flash to another ROM, i don't need to flash to HardSPL again do i then flash to another rom?
EDIT: don't worry found the answer.

Decided to give it another chance. Your 52-280 helps, but it still looks kind of crappy with a gray bar on top, no other settings changed.

Best dutch rom

Hey, I got a MDA compact IV branded from tmobile, but its starting to get on my nerves, and I want the original theme, so I figured I've got to put a new ROM on, now what rom is the best for a Dutch tmobile MDA compact Iv?
thanks in advance
i use A.Z.T.O.R. X2 (V11)Ultimate NLD based on latest Official ROM
you can find it here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422417
there aren't many dutch roms, but this is probably the best one.
It seems to be nice and clean... Just a heavily tweaked ROM.
But these are Diamond ROM's, are they good for the MDAcompactIV?
Another thing, when the next Dutch ROM update comes from T-Mobile (if it ever comes) will I be able to update?

I also got a MDA Compact IV...since 2 weeks I run the aztor v11 rom, and man what a difference. Much faster.
Just try..
Okay, all good.
But here comes the noob question... I already dl-ed the [rar] file, there's a [exe] file in the as well as a [nbh] file. Are these the only files needed for flashing my rom? How do I do it? Do I run the [exe] file on my PC or my phone?
Tnx in advance...
Ok, I've tried two times to do the update as I just ran the [exe] file on my PC, but I get the [262] update error.
When it updating the bar sticks on 0%, as well on my phone. Luckily after detaching the battery for 3 seconds, my phone just soft resets. What now???
I've done some research but with all the different versions and languages I got really confused. I need another spl to install the [nbh] in order to update the X2 update. But I cant find a way to run the [nbh] file.
I'm also afraid that I'll ruin my MDA. So I searched for a original spl and ROM, but I can't seem to find the right one. I also unable to determine which spl I have on my MDA. It should be a dutch T-Mobile ROM (& spl???). The warranty period isn't over yet so I might need it. (But I hope not of course).
This flashing thing is really confusing...
Same problem
I have exactly the same problem trying to change the ROM from uk vodaphone to Duttys V4. The strange thing for me is that I have 2 Diamonds (his and hers) and the first one went through the process like a dream.
I'd be very grateful to find a fix

First I ran Olinex hard-spl 1.40, after that I rename the .nbh file tot DIAMIMG.NBH, copy that file to your internal storage and than flash from the internal storage. Read this
If above is still abacadabra send me a pm, then I will translate this in dutch.
best rom questions?
to find out whats best for you is to start flashing.
this question is not welcome here on this forum.
as it always end in a flame war.

first the orginal rom is here flash it like you normally would.
if you plan on flashing again the you don't have to do the next bit, but if your giving it in for warrenty then go here and follow the same instruction but when you open the hard-spl program replace the .nbh file with the stock one attached at the end of the post!

Just rename the extracted file to (without quote) "kovsimg.nbh", and make sure it is not "kovsimg.nbh.image", then you can update your rom via micro SD method or run RUU. Read this thread, or this thread to update your ROM.
I hope this will help....
thx guyyyz it works finally
sry guys :S i tried to do update through the update service but not worked and the numbers appeard in the tricolor screen is 0.78000 plz help

Some question about first flash

Hi guys!
I'm a new user and i wanna flash for the first time my opal t2223 with the pajerm's rom lite 21697 but i've some question:
1. i've downloaded a stock rom for this phone, for safety, and i found the .nbh file and a radio file,but in the rar file of pajerm's rom i found just the .nbh file, i need also the radio file to flash this rom on my phone or i can flash it without?
2. during the flash process sim card and micro sd must be inserted in the phone or is better that i plugout?
3.some backup of text msg,contacts and other from wm 6.1 created with spb backup work correctly if restored in wm 6.5?
thank you for helping me and sorry for my english
And sorry if i've posted in the wrong section XD

So, did you manage to flash it without finding Radio?
If you may, post your steps as you did it so others can make use of it. And hope you enjoy your new OS
pajerm told me that the radio is part of the software that runs from near the peripheral and the interface with the operating system, it is not necessary to update the radio when you change a rom, because each type of PPC has its own radio i guess, infact i haven't found any problem during flashing operation by following guide from the first posts
I hope I was clear enough
