Please help me - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i am trying to update my x1 firmware but i keep getting this error "The Phone contain manipulated software and is not supported by this application". Can someone please help me i beg u

Are you trying to update your phone with SEUS? And are you currently using a custom cooked ROM?
Try to flash a stock ROM first, after that put softSPL back and last update with SEUS.

hi thx u for the reply, i tried to update it from the sony site but got that error, yeah i think it is a custom rom, i bought it second hand and it turns out like this.
Im not too smart with technology, can you guide me what to do???

What OS are you on now? Wm6.1 or wm6.5? You can check in Start - Settings - System - About.
Well....do you want to go back to a stock ROM or do you want a custom ROM? In other words, do you want wm6.1 or wm6.5?
If you want to go back to a stock ROM:
1) look here for your stock ROM and download it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
2) read first and flash your device with the stock ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445662
3) read on how to restore softSPL and do it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
4) now your able to update with SEUS
If you want a new custom ROM:
1) search which ROM you want to try first and download it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=471
2) read first and flash your device with the custom ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445662
Remember when you flash a new ROM (custom or cooked) your devices memory will get completely erased, so DO A BACK-UP FIRST!
I strongly advice to read as much as possible before flashing your device, primarely the stickies in the ROM thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=471).

hi thxs for all the info, i just want to restore it to its original way instead of the fancy stuff

Did you follow flashing guide correctly?
Are you using HSPL or USPL method? If USPL method you need to re-use it before every flash. If HSPL is on device, your SPL should say SPL-1.56Olinex and you should be able to flash rom straight away
Answer all questions above and post your response on flashing thread. No need for new one.

how to bring back stock rom?

hy gujs,
please help me, i need to bring back my stock rom, 6.1, but dont know how! my vibra is broken, i have guarantie, but they want to official 6.1 rom.. now i have 6.5 rom heeelpp
b.u.m.p.
.
Look in the ROM section and just flash the generic UK one... R3A.
Also don't forget to return to the stock spl found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
I had no problems with a warranty job after returning to stock rom and spl.
extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons.
step by step:
- this is ONLY for warranty reasons. i.e. the device needs repair and you have to send it to htc to get it serviced. if you plan to restore hardspl then don't even bother flashing this stock package, unless you are some kind of hacker/dev
- IMPORTANT: be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
- now the steps
1. download the stock spl package from this post.
2. download X1_HardSPL_v1 too, from this post.
3. run the hardspl package, but do not press Next button i.e do not go ahead with flash yet.
4. at this point, take the extracted stock SPL, a RUU_Signed.NBH file, and overwrite the other RUU_Signed.NBH in hardspl package.
5. go on with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour screen with 0.52.OliNex version), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+1. to verify, enter bootloader (see description above in this post), and check version number on tricolour screen. it should say 0.72.0000.
this is what i found, but how to return stock OS?! can i overwrite 6.5? all next step i understand!
have you tried following the steps provided?
there is nothing different to flashing a 6.1 and 6.5
Hey guys.
Just on this. I downloaded a generic image, but how do I load a *.IMAGE file? CustomRUU doesn't do anything, and SE updater won't recognise the phone.
Thanks in advance.
u must rename .image to kovsimg.nbh
So.. issue solved?
solved, have forgot to delete image of wm6.1 from my memori stick! now is solved and evverything is oke, x1 is now to authorized repair!
thx all, if someone have problem like i just ask here will help
cheers

X1 problem to hardSPL for newer SPL version 0.78.0000

X1 problem to hardSPL for newer SPL version 0.78.0000
Hi, I am ALi , sorry to bother, but just done some HardSPL on my X1,
last time the SPL ver was 0.78.0000
i read many of method to flash a newer ROM must HardSPL first their X1,
the problem is, I had already HardSPL it to SPL ver 0.72.0000, the process was a success
but
it stucked/bricked at tri-color mod, so i had it settled from
forum. xda-developers. com/showthread. php?t=455553 thread reported by MALIK,
i noticed that before down grading my X1, the ROM ver was UK_GEN_R3AA010,
but
after HardSPL to ver 0.72, i cant flash the original ROM UK_GEN_R3AA010 back, instead of that only ROM UK_GEN_R1AA017 are working with my current flashed SPL ver 0.72.
I tried to Hard SPL to 0.52 Olinex version (i didnt find any 0.72Olinex!! just 0.52 Olinex, where can i found the 0.72 ver of olinex?? does the 0.72Olinex really exist?? i am so much confiused now and really tired of trying to make it work in almost a week!!) so many time but fail, by USB, by SDcard (also try to replace my SD-HC4gb to Nokia SD 256Mb) neither of that method work!!
please help...
i am desprate to implement newer ROM on my X1 so called Kovsky....
please admin/engineers/developers help.... my head are getting bolder than b4 huhuhuuuuuu........

Terengganu, Malaysia
p/s: i am uploading some of my pic shot while the problem persist right now to photobucket, but i am affraid that i didnt have any permission to attach th pic since i was a newbee....
The hardSPL 0.72Olinex can be found here (X1_HardSPL_v1.zip):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
Also there is a detailed describtion on how to hardSPL your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
For questions you can try the search button here, if you can't find any on this subject (which I doubt, because the question has been asked more than once in the thread) reply to the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
I've flashed my X1 with hardSPL and back to stock SPL a number of times, never without succes. From 0.720000 to 0.72Olinex to 0.720000 and from 0.780000 to 0.72Olinex.
So when you can't hardSPL from your pc there must be something wrong with the connection between pc and X1.
If you want a newer ROM with stock SPL, connect your phone with stock SPL 0.720000 to SEUS and SEUS will automatically update SPL to 0.780000. After that you can flash R3A ROM.
The other way through hardSPL and the manual download of R3A from PavelX1's sticky.
I tried restore my software using SEUS but it says that I already have the lastes software (but I have ENERGY ROM 6.5)

Download you stock ROM from PavelX1's sticky thread and flash it...
Tnx you saved me from hours of searching
Hi Lokhato,....
thankx for the advice,... if ou wont tell me about the SEUS, sure my X1 i declared it DEAD!!! I was accidently HardSPL it to 0.72.0000 i think...., because of i tried so many times to HardSPL the OLinexSPL to my X1 but it aint workin. but then when i replace the RUU_signed.nbh that got version 0.72.0000stockSPL it worked AND THEN it STUCKED at the boot screen says that please wait, continue to upgrade ROM.... damn i resolved it...
so my step on recover to the latest stock SPL 0.78.00 are like this,...
1. download the SEUS from XPERIA website.
2. try to READ and FOLLOW the instruction stepbystep. even whenever the application ask you to restart the PC/LAPTOP, please make it done so....
3. whenever SEUS asked u to enter the bootscreen, MAKE SURE you take out the SD out from your phone. and let the SEUS flash the OriSPLver 0.78.0000
4. then it blinks several times after the progress bar finished, and it also stucked at bootscreen saying to continue updating ROM.
5. in this situation, please flash back your ROM with ROM UK_GEN_R3AA010 not the R1 or R2 ROM. so to manually flash the R3 ROM, copy the R3 image file to your freshed format SD and named it kovsimg.nbh
6. so put the SD in X1 and soft reset the X1 by pressing the reset button with your stylus at the back panel of X1.
7. let it load the image whenever it enter the boot screen again
8. press the power button to confirm upgrade ROM.
9. it should state there SUCCESS!! and you must HARD-RESET the X1.
9. waitt...... and wait...... be very patient, take a break... let it run.....
10. you are DONE!!
enjoy your original flashed ROM,...
if you not like it,
from this point you can just simply HardSPL it to 0.72Olinex by downloading the X1_HardSPL_v1.zip
then go get another ROM and repeat step 5.
as my observation...
SPL 0.72.0000 can flash img from R1,
R2 I dunno can flash or not, never try it...
SPL 0.78.0000 can flash img from R3
HardSPL it to OLinex ver 0.72OLinex ver, then you r good to go to flash any ROM you like!!
damn what a hard week!!! at last i got it to flash the HardSPL on my X1
last but not least.... just want you all to know that i was doing those step above from my mom's laptop current spec was CentrinoDuo, mine that always hanging whenever try to flash any SPL was on SempronAMD Laptop + always BlueScreen error even after i freshed repair my .NetFramework ver3.5sp1. so if you facing any problem on SPL our X1, try to done the upgrading on another PC/laptop, i believe that Intel based processor was more stable than AMD i think...
Don't know if you can use the SD-card flash method when on stock SPL.
A couple of things to know:
0.720000 is stock SPL
0.780000 is an updated stock SPL
0.72Olinex is hardSPL
Did you try to flash with CustomRUU instead of sdcard? I attached it to this post, just unpack and place the ROM you want to flash in the same folder. You can find the ROMs in PavelX1's sticky.
What does your bootloader say now? And you can't boot your phone?

but
- last time my original 0.78.0000 cant do HardSPL
- after accidently flash the 0.72.0000 by using RUU but at the same time i copy the stock0.72 SPL to RUU folder,,,... or my mistaken to copy to SD also by renaming it to kovsimg.nbh i think, just cant remember at that time, and still cant HardSPL + hangging somemore....
- after SEUS updates to newer stock SPL 0.78.0000 like before it was very easy to HardSPL with 0.72OLinex..... wonder y.....
hmmm... CustomRUU??... i think if i try that method would always get the ERROR code rather then success huhuhuuu....
for now i just stick to flashing ROM using Nokia SD 256Mb if the img can fit it in....
thank you so much anyway bro...
u da man!!!!

sorry i miss out to answer this...
my bootloader shows SPL-0.72 Olinex
already flash some of software img like firestorm... nrg... but still cant suit me, now just flash back to it original state WM6.1.....
you got any suggestion about the best,smooth,cool&light ROM for me??
another thing i noticed that, the ROM that been cooked doesnt seems have Xpanel.cab installed, so that our X button panel will be useless, or did i miss something? huhuhuuuu
-ALi
Several roms do have panel manager installed so there is a use for the X Button
in case it is not cooked in you can add it manually. Also XMapper is available for alternative uses of the button...
Finally, if Silent_UC is supported by the rom you can bulk install many apps, registry edits, etc. after flashing the rom or afterwards. Just search...

hardSPL can be done without a problem from 0.780000. I did it several times after I brought it to repairs.
In post #5 in the EnergyROM thread you can find a link on how to install the panelmanager, from R3A and X2. This works with all roms which don't have the panelmanager installed.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
I am very happy now! Just managed to update my SE X1 after SEUS 0.78!. As others suggested downloaded R3AA010 (APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R3AA010), but used NBHUtil to extract ROM. That was a mistake! I simply renamed R3AA010 to Kovsimg and put it in my SD 2 Gb card. Ufff, after 2 weeks of endless reading the forums and thying this and that... Finally!!!!

How to upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5(xperia x1)

kinda newbie here in terms of custom ROMs or flashing but could somebody give me a step by step procedure for me to be able to upgrade my xperia x1 6.1 to 6.5? just don't want to brick my phone.
i know that there are lots of tutorial here but i can't find which is the best & stable.
every one is quite stable, if you charge your phone 100% and don't plug your cable out of the phone nothing will go wrong.
After hardspl use SD-Methode to put your 6.5 rom on your phone it's the simpliest way, there you cannot damage your phone with putting a x1 rom on your x1 (with roms from other phones it could damage your phone but i am not sure)
1-unlock yr phone with spl 0.78
2-connect phone with full charge(20% is enough)
note: DON'T use task 29 if u don't flash yr device everyday!
3-try romes to find yr best choice
there is nothing in a simple regular flashing to brick the device
thanks for the replies, im trying to consider this ROM but when i read the thread i found that there are some bugs.
is it possible to revert to 6.1 if you're not satisfied with 6.5? could a simple hard reset do the job?

it's good rom but I suggest this one....It's stable & up to date.don't use htc rom just download GTX 2.2.0 & enjoy!
about the question.no the rom is not a program,It's the os of device.like your pc.it's like that you install windows 7 instead of XP so if you Decide to go back to XP you neet to install it.
if you want to go back to WM 6.1 you need to flash the stock rom again(that is simple).but I think you'll never go back to 6.1
the link for rom I proposed
Dynamics 2.2.0

thanks, will try that & give you feedback
another set of questions....
these are the instructions in flashing x1 to 6.5 but don't understand most of it, sorry for the stupidity =)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing:
0) Make a system backup!
Useful apps: SPB Backup, PPC Pim Backup, Sprite Backup
1) Install Hard-SPL 0.78 by OliNex!
2) Put needed cabs to \Storage Card\autocfg\.
Supported formats: *.cab, *.provxml, *.reg, *.rgu.
*.CAB: by default they will be installed to internal memory. Cabs with "_ui" in their names will have an opportunity to be
installed to storage card.
*.EXE: AlphaUC can install *.EXEs from \Storage Card\autocfg\exe\. If you add "_nowait" to filename, customizer won't wait
until it finishes
3) Use task29. !!! Put kovsimg.nbh to storage card !!!
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649230
4) Then flash needed ROM as always (via storage card or via CustomRUU). Make a Hard-Reset.
5) Wait for the end of customization. You will see message about it on the second launch.
After that make a soft-reset.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
help, the link for task29 is missing, how can i continue?
for number 4, how will i do that?

guys no 1's helping???
It happened to me once.
Regarding you have "manila version 2.5.20113030.0" and your OS version, you have a custom ROM installed, and this means also you have HSPL installed in your device.
To get your device recognized by SE update service, you have to flash a *stock* ROM, and also a stock SPL.
After doing these two steps, your device will be recognized.
You must be familiar with flashing ROMs, and you should search the whole forum for stock ROMs and SPL, before attempting to flash anything..(I'm not responsible for any damage)
As a suggestion, refer to this thread for a detailed info on the subject
and also this thread for Stock SPL (see "extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons." section)

Hello please help my Sony Ericsson X 1 Rom 1.05.931.10 Radio 1.06.25.29 Manila 2.5.20212114.0 Wi-Fi connection is working, but I can not open a webpage or use any program that uses the Net also how enter the Settings text messages do not know where please help please
sorry for late reply... but can u thread me to stock rom and stock spl plzzz....
Unfortunately, the Xperia X1 is now an old device, and the links to its stock items are rare and not working any more.
I managed to find links for the stock ROM (Generic UK WWE, latest version provided by SE which is R3A)
Here it is:
Part 1
Part 2
After you download the two parts, rename the file extension from .image to .nbh, and if you are using the SD card method, rename the file to kovsimg.nbh
Be sure to read about flashing ROMs and changing the SPL, if you did it the wrong way you may damage your device.
thanx i'll try and tell u soon...
