In this guide i am going to explain you how to install a custom ROM using phone.
You need PC just to copy ROM on memory card, nothing more, nothing less.
First thing you need to do, is to check do you have Hard-SPL installed on your XPeria X1, follow next two steps to check that.
1. Turn off you phone.
2. Hold volume down button and PRESS AND HOLD POWER BUTTON, hold these two buttons pressed until three-colored screen shows up.
If in top left corner of the screen shows
"SPL-0.72.OliNex" (or what version you have)
That's important, if that is not shown, DO NOT CONTINUE!
POWER button will not work, so remove cover and battery, and put it back on.
Install ROM :
1. Power on phone
2. Connect your XPeria X1 to PC in Disk Drive mode.
3. Transfer the custom ROM you want to install on ROOT of memory card and make sure that it's named "kovsimg.nbh" (Sometimes when you download custom ROM, there will be several files in that ZIP/RAR you downloaded, but you only need ".nbh" file, and if that ".nbh" file is named "ruu_signed.nbh" rename it to "kovsimg.nbh")
4. Disconnect phone from USB, and shutdown phone.
5. Hold volume down button and PRESS AND HOLD POWER BUTTON, hold these two buttons pressed until three-colored screen shows up.
6. Three-colored screen will stays for one or two second, and then there will be a message on screen
"KOVSIMG.nbh - "
"OS - "
"Press the power button to start the update image"
"Press Action button to cancel update image"
PRESS POWER BUTTON, and installation begins.
7. When it reaches 100% it will say "UPDATE SUCCESSFULL". Again, POWER BUTTON will not work, so remove cover and battery, and put it back on, but don't power on phone.
8. (IMPORTANT) I strongly reccomend to HARD RESET PHONE BUT BEFORE YOU EVER BOOT IT!
9. Hard Reset - (Phone is off) Press two buttons below screen (left and right) and hold it, and press the power button UNTIL VIBRATE, then release the power button, BUT STILL HOLD TWO BUTTONS BELLOW THE SCREEN (IMPORTANT)
10. It's shown "This operation will delete all your personal data and reset all the settings to the manufacturer default settings, press "R" to restore manufacturer defaults or press "X" to cancel." Slide keyboard and press "R" wait for a few seconds, and it will show "Restore completed press Space to restart" so press space and slide in keyboard.
You have successfully installed your first custom ROM, now align screen and set date & time, and that's it. First time, it will take three to four minutes to boot, that's called "Cold Boot"
another great thread
"9. Hard Reset - (Phone is off) Press two buttons below screen (left and right) and hold it, and press the power button UNTIL VIBRATE, then release the power button, BUT STILL HOLD TWO BUTTONS BELLOW THE SCREEN (IMPORTANT)"
this step is extremely important. i messed up the first time and my phone was noticably slow lol.

Thank you again yeaah, i messed up the first time also, becase it wasn't explaint very well
I have to say I liked the "Task 29" thread better. A lot of information here is redundant. In principle both threads describe the same process (SD card flashing).
Only this one is Task 29 short (which suposedly is important in flashing).
I expected this thread to describe the USB flashing method, which is in fact different. But it's more-or-less the same really... with more detailed naming descriptions... but minus Task 29.
The other thread has the potential to be a complete guide to SD flashing. Only steps missing is Hard-SPL - if it hasn't been done already. This one - less so.

Okay, there is maybe redundant information, but i wanted to people know what exactly will phone show, and exactly what to do! Little more information won't harm, but a half-explained instruction may lead to some errors...
problems after installing custom rom on htc dsire
Hi there Description: I’m even scared to write… Description:
Newbie Noobie here. Greetings!
Got myself a birthday present a few days ago – HTC Desire.
If it helps, here are the details:
======
Firmware version: 2.2
i rooted my phone and then followed the steps to install custom rom
Anyway, here’s my problem (there were posts about it before as well).
Once I reach point 5 in Step 2 [i.e. Turn off your phone & turn it back on holding POWER + VOL DOWN then use vol up/down to scroll down to ‘Recovery‘ and power to select.] after I click ‘Recovery’ my screen either stays white with the green HTC logo or just goes black – in either case, that’s it… nothing happens and no buttons work.
The first time it happened I almost got a heart attack (well, which noobie didn’t?) because I thought I’d just bricked my baby… Right now it is still the only way for me to do ANYthing after getting the black screen…
Any suggestions/help will be more than welcome! Thanks in advance!!!
(And sorry for the long post… I always need long intros and all the details listed to make myself as clear as possible)
Please do help me
i am nearly crying while typing it
email me the response
cheers

I have never used HTC Desire, i am XPeria X1 user... but my guess is that you do not need to go to recovery mode, i meen on my XPeria i just enter bootloader mode (Volume down + power) and ROM load itself... This tutorial is about XPeria, so... maybe you should post your problem to HTC Desire thread... Good luck... let us know what was the problem
Greetings

Hi guyz,
big problem with my Wings...
I've tried to install SPB Traveller, discovering that doesn't work (was the version for pda).
Then i've disinstalled it and, immediately after, i have no more possibility to press buttons. Only once.
To be more precise...
Switch off the phone removing battery, switch it on again, enetr the pin correctly and, after WM6 screenshot, i'm able to press buttons only once. Not depending from the button...i can pres Start or Contacts, doesn't matter.
After pressing once there's no evidence to have any other button depressed.
I would like to hard reset the phone but, hao can i do if i cannot press any button??
Which is right procedure for hard reset the S730??
There is some shortcut in way not to enter into WM6??
Thanks a lot.
With the phone off, press both softkeys (the ones right under the screen) and then press the power button to turn it on. After a second or so (basically when it starts booting up) release only the power button, but keep the other two pressed.
After a moment you should see a screen asking you if you want to hard reset (you may release the buttons now), press the Send buttont (the green one) and it'll do it.
Soft keys should be "Start" and "Contacts"...i suppose.
I tried many times, releasing Power button keeping softkeys still pressed, immediately after Smart Mobility screenshot....after displaying of radio version, rom version, etc etc.....but it doesn't work.
I think i'm wrong in some passage. Sure that this process works on S730??
Could you be more clear about it, please?
Which boot i have to take care of? Initial settings (radio, rom, etc etc) or Windows Mobile?
Many thanks.
Yep, those are the buttons. And this procedure does work on the S730, as I had to use it once to restore my phone.
The only advise that comes to my mind is to keep the power button pressed a little bit longer than usual, I believe that's what I did.
After messing around with the device, I am now readying it to be my phone...this means, hard reset to go back to how it was + sync + simcard in etc
The rest procedure is as follows:
If device is on:
Hold Vol Up and Down and at the same time, press the reset button (you will have to remove the back battery cover and it is the RED button under the stylus head and NOT the opposite side which says VOID (this is a screw) )
Your device will reboot and then display on a white Screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data and reset.... etc
Now release your volume buttons and press the Vol UP button to reset it
Any other key will take you out of this and reboot the device without a hard reset.
Obviously soft reset is self explanatory...just press the red button in and release..this will reboot the device without any data loss
This is in your manual too on page 213/214 but it is always easier it being on a forum
Thanks always useful when inevitably I lose the manual

This didn't work on my device but I found out that pressing volume down + the red soft reset button will take you to the bootloader.
Thanks for the useful informations! Much appreciated!
found an easier way. you even dont need to remove the back battery cover to get to the reset button.
1. turn off the D2 by pressing(and holding down) the power button for few seconds! it will ask you if you want to turn of the phone.. "yes"
-for a Softreset just power on again ---> Softreset
-for a Hardreset hold VolUP & VolDn and power on! now you'll get to the white screen telling you everything will be deleted blabla! as akash_84 wrote now just press VolUP ---> Hardreset
Hard Reset for Diamond2 is press 1234 then YES!

Hi Everybody Here,
***DON'T NEED TO REMOVE BACK COVER !!!
***DON'T NEED TO PRESS WITH TWO HANDS !!!
Soft Reset : Press the Power Button for 3 seconds, then YES!
Hard Reset : Go to Start, Settings, System, look for a icon "Clear Storage" ,
Just key in 1234, then YES!
Is this more Simple?

I Followed the instruction step by step to Diamond2 but screen doesnt show any message buit instead I saw many colors such as red, green I think etc. what seems to be the problem can you please help me I need to Hard reset my device.
Make sure you press the volume up and volume down buttons in together and press the reset button, with the screen display you are getting it appears that you are only presing the volume down button
Long time ago found one program for my smartphone, to make restart by software. Here you can get this program:http://rapidshare.com/files/246268871/129_PhoneReboot.rar
Copy both files to device Program files\ folder, rename .ln to .lnk and insert it in Programs folder.
At least it works on my TD2
the vol up + vol down + red button worked. But the one with the vol up + vol down + power button didn't actually work :-?. Maybe didn't press enough time. Thanks a lot!!!
Hard Reset
Hi,
there are now 2 ways to hard reset our devices....
Will one of the hard reset delete the storage card also?
I don't want to try it
I removed the card when I did a hard reset, but I've read in these forums that I will work without removing it (meaning you won't lose anything with a hard reset with the card in). Didn't try it, read about it after I did the reset ...
Does anyone have any ideas on why I am unable to hard reset my diamond?
I've had a look around the forums but haven't been able to find anything.
Doing the standard Vol Down + Enter + reset but it only does a normal soft reset.
Is the "Clear storage and format internal storage" option from the system settings the closest to a hard reset?
Thx in advance

well yes - that is the closest. but before that (since it'll format internal storage too) try this:
1a. press the red soft reset button, release it and immediately (i mean immediately) follow 2 OR
1b. turn off ur fone - keep the top power button pressed, and tap yes to turn it off... once turned off... press once and release the power button and immediately follow 2. OR
1c. take the battery out. put it back in and press the power button once and release and immediately follow 2:
2. press and KEEP PRESSED... Vol Down & Enter (center circle) until the screen shows up asking u to format blah blah...
Are you holding the Vol. DN. & Enter buttons, or just pressing & releasing?
I find the easiest way is to follow steps 1c & 2 written by Cloudedhopes. But, here is a more detailed instruction if you need:
1) Remove, then replace battery {ensures the device is completely off}
2) Press & HOLD: Vol. DN. & Enter buttons
3) Press & release: Power button
4) Release Vol. Dn. & Enter buttons only after grey confirmation screen appears!!! <Very important!
5) Press Vol. Up {resets main memory only; Internal storage is not affected}
6) Wait for device to reboot {You are now hard reset}
If this does not work then, there is something wrong with your hardware. Check to make sure the Vol & enter buttons all work.
@ CloudedHopes: Using the "Clear Storage" program will not clear out the Internal Storage unless you ask it to.
Worked
Thanks to cloudedhopes and Humblehippie
Finally got it boy's
A funny story to it
I had one of those thick mirror screens (screen protectors) on my diamond screen and also on the HW buttons (inluding the Enter button).
The enter button worked fine, or so I thought, for exmaple, I would select calender and hit the Enter button and it would open up the calendar no problem.
So her I am thinking its something else
Anyway, I remove the plastic bit form the Enter button and try to hard reset... VIOLA! Hard reset worked.
Moral of the story? Does not seem to be competely idiot proof
Thanks again guys

I have a big problem guys and need good help fast...
My diamond flipped out on me last night. Soft reset doesnt do squat and it keeps freezing at the first page displaying text: Touch Diamond (and some red lettering on the bottom taht indicates the ROM or some thing like that)
I have tried a hard reset and it doesnt do anything different, just keeps showing the screen where it used to freeze up before and the buttons doesnt do s**t (buttons all worked properly before, I was doing some web surfing and listening to music when it crashed the first time, so I was adjusting the volume and using the enter key quite often)
Now, everything I have tried just keeps freezing it up at that same "welcome/bootup screen and I seem to be quite "bent over" right now...
Do you guys know about an issue regarding my problem and a possible solution? (need the phone for work and all my costumers infos are on it with a backup of it on the internal memory (I know, not bright at all and I realize it now!!)
Any help and suggestions are more then welcome...
HELP!!
I have managed to do hard reset after all...
It seems that my version of the touch diamond is different, even from my users manual
To do a hard reset I must hold POWER, VOLDOWN and ENTER, then press the soft reset button...
But afterthe hard reset, I found out anotherproblem... Opera doesnt work anymore, seems like its not even installed! Its missing a bunc of files.
Did the hard reset had a problem and screwed up the reinitialization process or is it normal?
How can I get it working? (IE is not to my taste and cant even do the landscape mode)
Please someone, need some help!!
Can't remove pass
Unfortunately my Vol down button isn't working and I cant make hard reset. But i have passworded my phone and cant manage to remember what numbers i wrote exactly ( or especially my kids did). Is there another way to remove password except hard reset? I even agree to format the whole device and install directly Android. So far just found how to make dualboot but for this purpose i have to enter file explorer... which i can't do because I have a password at beginning before even start the OS's interface. If someone can help me please wite here or at my skype didkuivanov
Hi,
Diamond is not going to bootloader (tricolour) screen after MTTY. MTTY was successful but nothing happening after pressing volumedown+center button.
Now device is just showing - Touch diamond when i switch on.
I have diamimg.nbu on internal storage, is there any way to trigger install.
It was working fine before mtty.
Pull battery out to turn it off.
Put it back in.
Press and hold volume down
Press reset button.
The reason its only showing Touch Diamond is that the MTTY process has cleared off your previous OS. You need to get it back to bootloader and try MTTY again.
I have tried all those stuff but no luck, for every thing diamond just vibrates and shows "Touch Diamond".
I guess boot loader is not working, is there any way to connect to it and repair bootloader.
I have tried snoopy from some post but thats also of now help.
Taken from PPCGeeks:
"Hold down the Volume down key and power button, the take the tip of your stylus and press the soft reset button (bottom left corner of phone under battery cover). After you press reset button keep the Volume down and power button press until the bootloader screen comes up"
Let us know if this works.
Thanks Super....
This is not working, only option i see is some way to connect to it through USB because i had faced this problem earlier also but that time RRU updater used to push it to bootloader.
volume down button used to work only with original HTC ROM for me....only a few time it used to work with cooked ROMs....
Hi,
Anyone can suggest some advance tool which can connect to diamond if its not going to bootloader through normal methods.
Its all clear by MTTY, i have ROM image on internal storage.
Solved finally.......
Hold only volume button pressed, press reset button and immediately after that press ok or back button
Hi everyone,
I was using my nexus one with low battery, and then it shut down.
I went back to car, attached it to the recharger, and pushed power button.
At this point it turned on and a setup similar to first boot appeared (selection of language, date & time, google account)..
Once the setup was completed, I pressed the home button and associated it with Launcher Pro.
At this point a popup message appeared, saying (translated from italian):
"Sorry! Sudden interruption of the application Launcher Pro (process Android.process.acore). Retry.", with a button named "Retry".
- If I press the "Retry" button, the same popup message appears on and on again.
- If I shut the phone down and restart it, it asks for the SIM pin, the unlock pattern, and then the popup message appears again and again..
- I can't access the menu through the button, and I am stuck in this situation!..
- I tried to uninstall Launcher Pro via appbrain about two hours ago, but with no luck..
Any help would be much appreciated..
Thanks!

Assuming you aren't rooted, I just want to let you know you always have the last resort of resetting the phone back to default, so the phone itself is still fine.
With root, you can ADB and remove LauncherPro.
Hi cigar3tte,
I'm not rooted, so I could "reset the phone back to default".
Do you mean reset it to factory default (aka hard reset)?
Note: If I press the menu button at the bottom of the device, nothing happens and the popup keeps showing up
However, the procedure I found for the hard reset is this:
"With the phone shut off, while holding down the volume button on the side of the N1, press the power button briefly while maintaining the volume button pressed in for around 5-10 seconds.
You should be presented with a menu that allows for: Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock. You can release the volume button at this time.
Select Clear storage with the volume button up and down, then press and release the power button to make the selection.
It will ask you to confirm this decision. Press the yes button using the volume up."
Should i proceed so?
Thanks!

Yes, I meant a factory reset. Before doing so, check for any data you might want to save.
As for the method, what you found should work fine. I've never done a hard reset from the default recovery. I've only done it from the phone itself (which you can't access) and custome recovery.
Hi cigar3tte,
I followed your suggestion and did the shut-off-and-on procedure.
After that, I was asked to complete the initial configuration (time, google account, etc). and I am now on the home screeen!
Thank you so much for your help!
For future reference, you would probably have been able to fix this without wiping... turn the phone on, then when the X appears hold the trackball, it should boot in safe mode and you can remove/clear data as needs be.
AuraxTSense ROM - I know someone having this issue, anything they can try short of full wipe?
