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........

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:

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)
the past version of SEUS had an option to flash again but the new one doesnt have.
CAN someone help ???

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...

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!!!!

So, guys, here is the first test SSPL for breeze. I have no breeze, so please report if it works.
extract to your device root!!!
start spl.lnk AND immediately press POWER and CAMERA buttons. (or try hust CAMERA)
if the screen shows sth like spl 1.01 DFR, then everything is ok - it is my spl
this version was intended to allow you to flash any CID rom update and unsigned nbh files. the next release will be based on the latest spl and include compatibility with new RUU of 1.34 rom updates and the feature to fix bad blocks.
EDIT - may 10, 2007 - SSPL V1 works successfully
CID check - disabled
NBH check - disabled
attached spl in nbh format for flashing - breeimg.zip
Thanks to:
DES for his SSPL
Olipro for his hard spl which actually saved me from hours of IDA analysing - I simply compared his spl to original and patched the one from breeze
at first try...
i have exactly what i descriped here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1253965&postcount=782
after the reboot i can't get into the bootloader...
what did you changed in the spl ?! or in the sspl.exe ??
I try... It's WORK!!!!!
what did you do??
edit:
ok, strange things goes on here ... just tryied it another time yet...
ipl-sspl by Des
SPL-1.01
should work
if i have time today i will try to made an cooked rom ...
if this works i look for a way to extract the files out of the excalibur wm6 rom ...
edit2:
i now have the problem that i can't connect mtty to bootloader... mtty ends with error when producing the cmd command line... i just had this problem with hermes to... i have 2 mtty version on all the 2 the same error...
i will try it now on a other machine..
1) Rename the BREEZE_HTCEUR_1.34.251.1_SHIP.nbh file to BREEIMG.nbh
2) Copy to sd card
3) start spl.lnk and immediately press POWER and CAMERA buttons
4) Phohe start in bootloader and flash new rom. (but no new radio)
THX
Thx for the replies, i`ll try to make a newer sspl. also, let`s begin the work for wm6 for breeze based on hermes rom... but in another thread some time later
can anyone confirm that they have sucessfully flashed a cooked ROM onto a breeze? Please update the wiki.

this should work when you have a new spl installed - and you want to flash another cid rom!!
has nothing to do with unsigned code!!
!!! only for understanding!!
hey what should i say...
it just look like that it works...
i have cooked a rom now...
only small reg changes!!
i have flashed it with hermes RUUUpdaterV2
only a OS file!
Phone boots! now i have to check if the changes are taken over!!
But why not ;Þ
Please post to the wiki.
I am hoping that we can use tornado WM6 code to cook a WM6 image...
I just added some Infos to wiki!!
Updated:
Breeze/MTeoR Upgrading Guide (4Hard/S-SPL)
Custom RUU Updater
I can also confirm that this SSPL truly works, but I am still unable to flash 1.38 radio over 1.29 currently installed with this SSPL version.
Any hints when could we expect SSPL based on some newer SPL release (like 1.09 or 1.10)?
just extract the radio rom what you want from an shipped rom ...
take it and re nbh's it with the nbgehn utility ... than put it in the custom ruu folder start ruuwrapper and flash it...

Tried that 3 times already. Doesn't work! Although process finishes whithout any glitches, System Info still says Radio ROM 1.29.00, and my phone still acts like crap...
.... i tried it too ... no problem... you should have done a mistake...
download an usb sniffer and let it run when updating... maybe then we can see the error...
but i had done it too... with sspl had no problems!!
I confirm this is also work on my dopod 595.
Now I need to search how to change the splash screen
what would you want to change??

This is what I did/have...
- I have installed Radio ROM 1.29.00.10 (with older 1.32.251.1 RUU)
- My MTeoR is CIDed QTEK_A07 - all available RUUs fail with INVALID VENDOR ID error
- If I use SSPL (linked in this thread), my MTeoR actually does start SuperCIDed and I can run any RUU or custom ROM, and although all of them complete with success Radio ROM DOES NOT CHANGE at all.
My theory is (based on posts in Hermes upgrading forum) that Radio ROM 1.29 installed Radio BL 0108 which in turn does not allow flashing Radio ROM when started SPL is pre-1.09 codebase. I presume that it flashes with 1.09, 1.10 or newer only (makes sense because HTC released new 1.34 RUU which first installs SPL 1.09, then the rest of ROM).
Can anyone concur with my assessment or am I completely wrong?
Ohhh,thank.It works perfectly on my HTC MTEOR from O2 Czech Republic.

WOW
I have now read for weeks the Hermes/Trinity threads wondering if this would be possible for "simple" smartphones too - and you did it
So while it is possible for the MTeor, maybe your kind of patching the SPL would also work for the Excalibur/S620?
I would love to flash my O2 Cosmo, but want to have an original ROM Backup for warranty/fallback reasons.
I also found out that it is possible to extract and cook ROMs for it like the way for the Hermes - but I cannot flash because of this f****g need for signed .nbh.
May be you are able to do this MAGIC on a Excalibur SPL too?
I would try out on my phone if you want to take the challange - if it doesn't work I think I'll have to get a MTeor
Anyway - lots of thanks for your work - and giving me back my hope on smartphone ROMcooking
hello guys, as i have posted in other threads but no one gave me any soultion to my problem so im starting this thread.
ok i have xperia purchased from UK.
im trying hard to use jack's rom 1.07.
i have done hard spl..i started X1_HardSPL, some message showed on xperia i click yes, it restarted my device. and X1_HardSPL gave me error that it cant connect to my phone...i put my device in bootloader mode and it was showing this on colour screen:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-787
then i used the sd card way..i put the jack's rom file in the card after formatting it with fat32 format..i put the device in bootloader and after the colour screen it shows LOADING and i waited for an hour but nothing happen..
2nd way i used was i ran hardspl file again in a folder, it created some temporary files, i renamed the jack's rom to RUU_Signed.nbh and overwrite the file in hardspl folder.....it again restarted my device to bootloader and after coloured screen it showed LOADING and thats it..nothing else..and hardspl file running on pc gave me 260 or 262 error i cant remember..
so anyone kindly tell me what im doing wrong?and how to fix this

did you do this (prefereble on an XP machine)
Phone Synced with PC
run X1_HardSPL.exe
follow on screen instruction, including after getting the drivers installed on you xp or vista machine installed, so the hardSPL will make the phone in bootloader and make sure it says 100% done on you xperia. and XP VISTA
then put inte bootloader holding down volyme button and power until tricolor screen is shown, and make sure that the imgage.nbh file is named correctly.
'
then it should work.
the most common failure is that the hardspl isnt installed correctly.

DO NOT I REPEAT
DO NOT
use the hardspl custom RUU for flashing roms.
this is from the 1st post of the HARDSPL thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
NOTE 4: do not use this RUU to flash anything else! this is only intended for flashing the Hard-SPL. use Xperia CustomRUU to flash other ROM images. for example this version: http://rapidshare.com/files/164933503/X1_CustomRUU.zip

IF you have finished hard-spl properly it should say 0.72.Olinex, I'd suggest doing hardspl all over again
thanx bro for replying...during hard spl process it never asked for any drivers, i will try this on xo machine and see what happens,
and i dont understand about customs roms, jack's rom is a custom rom right? so which hard spl file do i need ?

do the SD WAY, but remember to rename xxxxx.nbh to kovskimg....nbh otherwise it wont load it, se sticky post here in ropm section.
the driver issue is for XP AND VISTA when still in tricolor screen thn vista will install driver needed for hardspl to work (to recognise the device), as i stated the most common is that the hardspl isnt correctly installed.
hope you got it bro..
It sounds like you're getting confused between RUU and NBH
Ruu is the process for upgrading your phone with a new rom.
RUU stands for
Rom
Upgrade
Utility
nbh is the actual rom
there's only one Hard SPL available in the hardspl thread.
Run that again and let it complete, it should work from booloader mode on your phone.
when that is finished and your device in bootloader says 0.72.olipro then you can flash a rom.
If you use the SD Card method the whatever ROM file you choose must be called KOVSimg.nbh and be in the main section (root) of the SD card.
If you want to flash from desktop take the SD card out first.
Download the RUU I linked to in my last post. Extract that and make sure the nbh rom is called RUU_signed.nbh put it inthe ruu folder then start the RUU process.

after that i restarted my device then i did the hardspl

read #2 post @ jack's ROM thread
Some cabs and extra files you may need.
1. X1 Panel package to add panel back (divided into sub cabs)
extract the .rar file then it'll show you the panels cab
install Jack Sony X1 Panel Main.cab first then u can install other panels
sorry cant help you with the xperia logo
ok i want to get back to my stock rom..is there anyway to do that?
how to remove this rom so i can install the orignal rom, by connecting with SE software update utility?
this rom is fast stable but its not only me how use this device.so others dont like the way programs and startmenu are showing.
Usb-driver
I have the same problem when trying to flash with XP. I have tried two different computers but have the same problem. It seems that there is some usb-drivers missing. One time i got an error in XP when rebooting the X1 that the usb-device not working correct.
Can not flash by computer
Can not flash using card
The problem occurs when trying to install ROM
Result: When running RUU. Reboot= OK, Tricolour =OK, Process freeze after "loading" apperas (when *.nbh is supposed to start loading.) SPL never finish.
Anoyone knows which driver i need?
don't forget to disable any firewalls and possibly antivirus... This was the problem for me when using Hardspl and Zonealarm suite... So switched off Zonealarm and Hardspl just worked.... [oh and any windows firewalls]
Will try again tonight without FW and antivirus...
However... i have successfully upgraded ROM using SE Update software earlier... The USB worked fine at that time.

Yes. Just download the generic ROM from the ROM thread and follow the exact same steps as for a custom ROM. Also, look for answers yourself before asking questions that have answers stickied
Spiff76, SE update uses a different way to access your phone. hardSPL can be considered a "hack", which is why antivirus etc. might detect it.
Hmmm... turned of FW and antivirus but same result. RUU freezes after reboot and tricolour. When phone is supposed to start loading new ROM it just freezes and i get a connection-error message.
I believe it has to do with the usb-connection but i can not figure out how to solve it. Have also tried ti install via card without any luck. Same problem remain... i can not get the SPL to finish.
Have any one experienced similar problem and how was it solved. It can not be a biggie but it is really ***.
As said, running this on XP. USB works fine with active sync and in usb to PC-mode.

Please CHECK your tricolour screen: the world "olinex" must be there, which means you correctly flahsed the "olinex HARD-SPL" to your device
READ again. It's all written there (sticky posts)
First of all why should i ASK if there WAS AN ANSWER TO BE READ???
I have:
1. Tried to flash using exact intructions in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
Yes, the STICKY POST!
2. I have tried to flash from card whit hard_SPL:

Yes, again the STICKY POST!
And of course:

I have changed cables, ports. The flash seems OK, it says "olinex" in boot-loader but it has never finished.
Have searched the forum for other similar problems and found this thread.
I do not feel the need of repeating myself. Was hoping for some help and answers...
Here are my questions:
1) Will Hard SPL permanently stay even after...ROM Flashing/Hard Reset?
(I prefer it to stay because I don't want to reinstall after every new custom ROM)
2) If I update to ITJE's awesome Touch-IT V5 ROM, can I go back to the R2A firmware simply using SEUS? (Meaning I don't have to backup my ROM to revert back)
Thank you for your time.
yes to number 1 not sure about number 2

YES to number 1
No to number 2 *****BUT NO NEED****
****You can simply download your rom image from PavelsX1 ROMS Thread and flash with this one just rename it to KOVSIMG.nbh and copy to root MicroSd******
Hope i helped you
So are you telling me that in order to use SEUS to update to firmware R3A once it comes out, I would need to reinstall SPL (the original SPL)?
So...if I reinstall Stock SPL (the original SPL for warranty reason), will I be able to use SEUS to update to official ROM R3A (while my X1a is using Touch-IT v5.04)?

No, first you should go back to the Official ROM ie. R2A and then reinstall StockSPL in order to get the R3A via SEUS

I'm loving touch it
the thread is currently closed but right now it's running so fast xperia and eveyrything I only dont know why for instance if I talk and my ear is touching the screen this notification tab always pops out or if I try to click on the battery status on the main page it always pops out do you get that too?
what a load if sillyness.
Yes SPL should stick. there's some instances where it may get overwritten by a stockspl I think, (if a released rom has a newer version) but it's pretty unlikely.
no you don't need to change the SPL to go back to using SEUS
It should allow you to flash the latest straight away, I've done it a few times. However if you want a specific locale or language version then it would be a good idea to flash the correct rom from Pavels thread.

Currently I'm using Touch-IT WM6.5 Beta 2.0, I've tried to get update via SEUS without get back to Official ROM or StockSPL, as you said, but it seems the SEUS didn't recognize my X1, my X1 just freez at the Bootloader screen & the SEUS just in the Identifying Process without any ending. And at the second time I tried it, the SEUS just freez at the "Follow the Instructions below" screen.
Are you sure with what you've done Fards?
im certain.
I've done it a couple of times now. some people seem to have issues with seus,even from stock rom.
have you got a different computer you could try it on?
have you tried putting the x1 in bootloader mode first to see if it makes a difference?
reading the 6.5 thread it seems some people are having issues with flashing other roms afterwards, so maybe that's connected, if so then try one of the released stock roms first ?

I haven't tried with another computer Fards, I was using my laptop which ever successfull upgrade my X1 from R1A to R2A using SEUS and even just for check for updates without any errors (I've done it a couple times when using official ROM). I'll give a try with another one if I've time, but I'm not sure it's my computer issue.
Certainly I'm always putting the X1 in bootloader fisrt before connect it to PC and continue the SEUS process.
Have you ever tried this WM6.5 ROM to get update using SEUS successfully?
Thanks for ur time Fards..

I can confirm now, it's not my computer issue, I've tested it with another computer and had the same issue.

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
Ok, here's what i did:
I'm sending my xperia back to vodafone, so i need to restore stock rom and spl. I flashed a NL Vodafone R3AA rom (found here) to my phone yesterday, which worked perfectly. Did a hard reset, and went on with restoring stock spl.I tried using the special RUU with a replaced stock spl .nbh (the method described in one of the topics here), but the RUU couldnt find my phone. Since i didnt have another PC here, i tried to flash the .nbh to my phone via the micro SD method.
This went well, the progress bar filled up and disappeared, followed by 10+ minutes of "loading". Advised by a friend, i pulled out the battery, put it back in the device and powered it on. The phone instantly booted, showing the bootloader-screen and saying it's going to resume flashing the device. Followed by another endless "loading" screen.
But, since i got a chance to look in the bootloader-screen, I saw the SPL version was now 0.72.000 (or something like that, at least the OliNex text was gone). Afaik, this means the stock spl is back. I tried replacing the stock spl Kovsimg.nbh with the default one provided with the custom RUU (which is OliNex HardSPL, right?), but it showed the same "loading" screen. I havent tried flashing the rom again, since the bootloader says it's on stock spl at the moment...
What can i do? I guess they dont accept bricks over at vodafone...
Thanks in Advance,
Sorbo
using the usb cable and the ROM flashing Custom_RUU.exe
flash the R3A Rom again. that should fix it not booting!
You also need to flash the radio back to stock (not sure what version it is, but it's around here somewhere) otherwise you'll face flash issues. This means flashing HardSPL flashing the radio, flashing StockSPL again and return. Also, best flash R2A. Not sure if R3A was ever properly released.
Ok guys, thanks for the replies

The phone is back on stock spl, is it possible to flash a rom? Or only stock roms? (Sorry for my dumb question, havent been into flashing for a few months now)

Ok, thanks for the tip R2AA it is!
When flashing the rom the radio was also updated, but i'll try this
R3AA was properly released!
if you want to be cure of complete stock why not just use SEUS?
and there is no need to flash radio with stock ROMs as they're included, all your doing is flashing a radio extracted from a stock rom anyway! this means you don't have to hardspl

And this was the winning tip. Just flashed back the R3AA rom (vfone NL), even though i doubted if it would work (since the bootloader said it was back on stock spl), but it did.
Phone works again. Bootloader now says 0.78.000 (or something like that, no OliNex), so i guess it's ok now. RUU still isnt able to flash the phone, tried on 3 different pc's ( win7 x64, vista x86, xp x86), but i cant flash the phone...
Ah well, i'll try to send it back, see what they come up with. Thanks a bunch!
