Broken Xperia X1 and SoftSPL. - XPERIA X1 ROM Development

Hi, I have a truly big problem with my Xperia X1. It is on guarranty so I can't disassembly it. My LCD screen failed. Underlight works, touch works, but the screen stays black. I think that something has disconnected inside of it.
I can control - run GPS, Music, call for somebody from memory of my brain - using touch and keyboard. Everything works fine, but the display has no image.
My problem is... before this accident I changed the SPL for SoftSPL (from this forum) and used some non-original ROM's. After 4 or 6 ROM's I changed it for the newest original firmware, but... the SoftSpl stays.
I think that before get the phone to the service I should invert the SPL for HardSPL back, right? Soo... is it hard, need I to make something on the phone?
Please for help.

it's the other way around: you should have hard spl on your phone now, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to flash custom roms
you have to restore stock-spl, find the file and instructions in olinex thread in the stickies
additional tutorials are in biovolts thread
gl

It would be easier, when my phone woulde be synchronized with any of my PC's. I remember that I had problems with the window of choice (mass storage, win sync etc), which should show after plug USB cable. It never shown and I had to go to the settings on the phone and then select the option.
Now I can't see my movements... what can I do?

try going to bootloader mode (tri color screen) and do a hard spl the flash..

My htc starts up, but freeze during boot up

First of all i do not know where to post this. I have had a HTC wizard for over a year now. it has been working fine after cooking up wm6 and installing it for 6 months. today when i restartet the phone pulling the battery out and inserting it, the phone starts up, then the blue screen comes and shows ispl etc, then windows image shows, there it stops. i do not know what to do. It has been a while since i did pocket pc modding now, and i have forgotten all about it.

Maybe something crashed the OS software.
Hope you have a system backup, or at least PIM backup using ActiveSync because what you need now is a hard reset.
Punching the reset hole (next to IR window) while holding CommManager+VoiceDial, then press "Dial" as prompted.
how do i hard reset my dash/s620?
i have tried hard reset
i have hard reset the phone. i do not have any backup in active sync. and i dont think that matters. because my phone does not connect to activesync since it does not start up. and in the three colored boot mode the phone is not detected by active sync. when i hard reset the phone it just came to the same point and freezed
If you didn't touch the ROM for long time, then it is probably a hardware failure...

READ YOUR PHONE MANUAL, and THIS IS NOT DASH FORUM.
hard to believe
First off, thanks for fast responses.
It cant be hardware(Not as a total theory of course) or likely not, because phone was not touched by water, shock, bumb fire or anything. it laid on my desk, worked, laid on my dask more, freezed. and it has been working for 6 months with wm6. is there anyway i can flash something into it. without activesync, but in the three colored boot mode?
Get into bootloader, plug in your usb cord and give it a minute...ON THE TRI-COLORED SCREEN do you see in the bottom corner "USB"??? If yes, you are OK. Get a stock rom such as the Tmo 2.26 and flash that. If you do not see "USB" in the bottom corner then as far as I know, you are fukd.
For more info on issues, read the linky in my siggy. There is valuable info there that may help with other ways to flash a rom.
Good luck.
i see usb
thanks, guess i am not fked then
Only problem is i have forgotten all about this now, and that i am sorry for.
But i have to ask you, as from norway wich stock rom to choose, what is stock rom, and when you say bootloader, is that an expression for the three colored screen or is that a program, that can flash in three colored screen? Thanks, i do not expect an answer on this noob questions, but i would really apreciate answers.
stock rom & bootloader
stock rom is the rom which comes with ur phone while purchasing it.. u can call it base rom..bootloader is tri-coloured screen which is bios for ppc if it gets fked then phone is bricked..next time if u cant boot up, then u can flash ur phone with the help of bootloader...
that was fast
thanks, but i do not think i have the rom that came with my mobile phone:/
and i do not know how to flash from tri colored screen, because all the files i have tried cant detect my phone.
ipl adn spl are 3.08 if that helps anything.
that was fast
is there an app you use to flash from tri colored
there is no need for any app, just connect ur phone to tri-coloured screen..u willl see usb in down left corner.. then ur phone is connected then run RUU utility.. if any problem comes i am online at hotmail... [email protected]
Can you power down? If not, remove battery for 1 seconds, the re-insert. Then press all at once the camera, comm and power buttons (or I believe you can also press the camera and soft reset. It is in the wiki explaining, as are some stock roms. Use any stock rom if you plan on flashing a cooked rom. The Tmo 2.26 is a decent stock rom, there is a 3.08 on the forum somewhere that you can also use. Get a stock rom. Get into the tri-colored bootloader. Look to see if it says usb in the bottom corner. If yes, connect your cable and using the ruu from the stock rom, flash your phone. Once a stock rom is installed follow the directions to cid/sim unlock your phone. Once unlocked, you can flash any cooked rom.
PS- I am assuming you have a G3 phone.
PPS- reading the wiki and the stickies are very helpful. Give them a try.
im sutch a noob
yeh i got same problem... i will try a hard reset but im at school... hope it fixes it... i got imate jasjam... BETTER WORK OR I WILL KILL MY BROTHER 4 STUFFING AROUND WITH MY PHONE
im sutch a noob
gah... it diddent work what do i do now????

BLANK SCREEN AFTER ATnT Screen and 3G screen..HELP

So i just attempted to flash my tilt.
These are the steps i did.
Used Jump SPL 1.56 Kais
Then flashed a Kaiser Custom RUU.exe
everything was good at this point.
I then attempted the Kaiser SUperCID tool
when i did the unlock radio is when the problem occurred. After initializing and completing the screen turned black and does not display anything after the 3g sreen. I have done several soft resets and am attempting to do a hard reset with the soft keys but all it does is restart the phone....
i am not able to do a hard reset via sys>clear storage since no screen is displayed
this is what my phone does show
the tri color screen is this
kais1*0
spl-3.28.Hard
cpld-8
and it says security unlocked above all of that.
The ATnT screen shows this
R 1.70.Olinex
G 25.65.30.04h
D 1.62.00.00
please help
You need to follow step 0. Too late know. Which includes having an actual "RADIO" ready.
1.70OliNex is not a Radio. Thusly the Device can't load the Phone. Find a Radio and Flash it
Oh And Count this as your Freebie. Next time Search for your answer. And if you don't find the answer this should have been posted in the SuperCID thread.
Thank you kind sir. Off to look for a radio

Before you go off.
Here's something to try. The SIM/CID Unlocker do not work with the stock rom and you should have put hardspl on there.
Setup activesync and make sure that it detects your phone. As long as activesync works, you should be able to flash the stock rom and radio on the phone (even if the display is blank).
1st use jumpspl
then put on hardspl (read and follow the hardspl instructions)
then upgrade to 6.1 ROM
Then Unlock
then reflash with the rom of your choice with the matching radio
you should be good to go.
well i finally figured out the hard reset, which i did. It booted up and i was able to do the screen alignment etc, but once i was on my actual home screen it CUSTOMIZED and loaded a bunch of who knows what and back to the blank screen...
well i do have hard spl 3.28. I will try again....Im also not sure if my phone is 6.0 or 6.1

If you have hardspl on there, then just flash one of the cooked roms on the phone. I loaded the L26 Rom and it works great. It will include a radio firmware and is compatible with the SIM/CID unlocker.
the question i have is how do you flash without being able to execute the program from the phone? How am i able to execute it from the active sync?

Have you connected it to the computer via usb? Does activesync see the phone? You won't see anything on the phone itself until you correct the problem. As long as the computer activesync sees the phone you should be able to flash it from the computer.
I had the same issue
Just follow the steps
get the SIM unlock code from the computer
then flash a "real radio"
Once it finishes and boots up
it will ask you for the sim unlock code
AND VIOLA!!!
got it going
flashed it from my mini sd card after fat32 formatting it.
works like a charm
Thanks to everyone

trinity freezes? HELP!

yesterday i installed the rom of one of the above threads (win 6.5.28052) but everytime i boot up my device (when it is installed) it crashes.. constantly the same screen and i cant do anything?
i wanted to flash it to another win 6.5 rom. but i cant even turn on active sync on my phone
can anyone help me?
and fast. because i cant call and sms..
oh and: sorry for bad english
One post below is an exploit that seems to work without activesync, You could try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5336477&postcount=379
If I`m right it should connect again after You have a new SPL onboard. Relatively new here myself...
Another method would be to flash directly from an old SD card (not a new micro with adapter).
Edit : Maybe I misunderstood "turn on active sync on my phone" : Are You trying to flash when in bootloader mode (tricolor screen) ?
i was not flashing my phone in tricolor screen. but i did saw that screen when i installed the new rom?
but how do i come in the bootloader?
EDIT: can u please explain me in steps how i have to do this? (i am not so smart in those things..)
and how do u flash with a SD card?
another EDIT: i came a little bit further. no i see the commanager screen and disabled everything, then i tryed to turn on active sync. but then it freezes I WANT TO USE MY PHONE AGAIN!
Where did you find 28052 for trinity?.
Bootloader mode push on+camera botton+soft reset.
it was an older version.. typed it wrong. it was 28014..
but do u have a clue how i can fix this?
EDIT: now if i unlock my device. i get the windows screen when it boots up and does nothing.. so i cant do even less..
Ths to Supersport:
My recommendation for Flashing is:
Make sure you have Hard SPL on your Phone. I recommend Olipro 1.20 - Click Here for More Info
Be sure your battery is at least 50% full.
Start your phone in Tri Color Screen mode. Steps below
--Unplug your phone from USB
--Hold down the Power & Camera Buttons
--While still holding them down, press the Reset Button using the Stylus
--Release the Reset Button, but continue to hold the Power/Camera buttons until you see the Tri Color Screen
--Plug in the USB cable (if asked about installing a driver, do this), You should see USB in the White Box)
Now you can Flash.

that tricolor screen says:
TRIN100
IPL-0.50
TRIN100
SPL-1.20.Olipro
so the spl version is good?
what to do next?
EDIT: what happens when i reset everything to factory standard?
ok. i did the steps u gave and i am flashing now..
now see what it does..
ow and btw.
how u can do dual boot on this phone? maybe i want android on it if it is possible
where can i find a good version of windows mobile 6.5? becuase the version i have now i dont like.. but the other version i tried was wrong?
Glad You found some help, I currently only have internet access at work...
What a good ROM is depends on Your liking. If You want a clean 6.5 base to install stuff Yourself and have lots of free RAM for bigger apps, check the second post of
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551424
The one my phone came with was also from xda-devs but couldn`t run iGO (nav software) because there was too little free RAM, too much preinstalled stuff running like Manila eyecandy...
So if You want a ROM with fancy today screens and other preinstalled stuff You`ll have to take a look around here, otherwise check the one above, many ppl recommend it.
Happy flashing
@flyby.
i dont like the standard skins of windows mobile 6.5 but i like the start menu and the file explorer thing,
and i used SPB Mobile before and i like that!
but what is the lightest version of windows mobile 6.5 here on xda? without that fancy touchflo etc, only the good start menu in the top and a good file explorer were u can scroll with u finger?

Flash my X1 before it's repaired?!?

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!
Scoobeebopdeediddlaadoo
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

Any way of restoring Stock SPL via SD card method or otherwise (semi-broken phone)

Hi all,
Apologies if there is any kind of answer to the following elsewhere - I've looked for a few hours, but haven't stumbled across anything.
My phone has developed an issue, whereby the SE logo will display - along with the green Windows Mobile logo, before resetting.
I've been able to reflash the original stock ROM (hence the WM splash screen), but need to now restore the SPL to send this off for a repair.
Any ideas how I can do this (considering I can't connect this via ActiveSync to the PC)?
Thanks very much all,
FatalSaviour

though I normally don't recommend it for spl: you might want to give SD method a try
strange your stock rom doesn't boot though, hope trying to flash spl doesn't scramble it completely
otherwise consider using task 29 to wipe memory and start a new with the stock rom, but read instructions carefully before you try it
gl anyway
