*** Tutorial: Flashing ROMs (...and debranding the X1) *** - XPERIA X1 ROM Development

About this thread: I will explain how to get a new firmware/ROM on your new X1
To debrand the phone you just flash a different ROM. You also do the same thing to change from EN to GER, or to flash a customized ROM. So it's the same procedure for all of those actions (making it easier to write this tutorial ;-)).
Step 1 has to be done only once. For every following ROM you might want to flash, Step 2 is all you need to do. So let's start:
Step 1 (Preparations)
- Download and install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
- If you are using Vista, install the Mobile Device Center 6.1
- Set up the ActiveSync (XP) / Mobile Device Center (Vista) connection with your X1
- Charge the battery to at least 50% or more
- (Re)Connect the X1
- Run X1_HardSPL.exe
- Follow the instructions (it should say something like "Image Version: 1.02.111.7" to "1.00.X1")
- If asked, press "Yes" on the X1
- Now a 4-color screen should show up, showing some version Info
- After that, a progressbar screen will be shown and the phone will reboot when finished
- Click "Finish" on the PC
- If you want to check if everything went fine, turn the device off (long power button press), then hold the "volume down" button and turn the device on again, still holding the "volume down" button until the 4-color screen shows up. It should read something like:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.OliNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
- Remove and reinsert the battery to exit bootloader mode
You completed the first step and are now able to flash any ROM you want to your X1! (Well, at least any ROM made for the X1 of course ;-))
Step 2 (Flashing ROMs)
Before you start you have to -obviously- download and extract the ROM you want to flash. The file should be named *.image or *.nbh. Before you follow the steps, rename that file to Kovsimg.nbh.
- Format a MicroSD card with FAT32 if not yet done
- Copy the Kovsimg.nbh into the root directory of your MicroSD card and insert the card in your phone
- Turn off the phone (USB cable not attached)
- Remove and reinsert the battery
- Hold the volume down button and turn the device on again, still holding both buttons until the 4-color screen shows up.
- Follow the onscreen instructions
Congratulations. You're done.

Hello, I have a "vodafonized" XPERIA from UK....despite I am Spanish .
I would like debranding it....but I don't speak germany at all....Life is very short to learn to speak germany.
If I follow your way, using a generic UK room instead "APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_DE_1213-6439_CDF1215-3303_KOV_R1AA017.image.nbh" Do you think my XPERIA debranding right??
Thanks

Edited the first post in regard to the UK ROM.

Ignore my previous comment - I was being stupid, it was easy, and now I too am free of the Vodafone crap! Great thread - thanks!

I recieved a Dutch X1 from vodafone, what's the best way to unbrand this one ?

If you don't mind changing to an english version, just follow my first post and use the files for the English ROM I provided. Otherwise you will have to find a dutch ROM and follow the "Optional.." step.

I'm hoping someone can help me... I've followed all of the instructions but when I start up my phone in the 4-colour screen a message flashes up saying 'No image file!'. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Did you format your MicroSD card using FAT32? Did you put the image file on it and name it "kovsimg.nbh" ?

I did, I used an upper-case K, would that make a difference?

No that shouldn't make a difference. Perhaps just try formatting the card again and put the .nbh file in the root directory if you haven't already. If that doesn't work, I have no idea what the problem is :-(

I tried formatting it earlier and the only thing I put on there was the ROM file. How frustrating!

Debranding X1 Vodafone Germany
Has anybody already tried to debrand the X1 branded by Vodafone D2 (DE)?
Is it as easy as the other ones placed in this thread?
Has anybody the normal german ROM and not the customized version?
Or has anybody a ides how to change the registry for connecting with skype etc by using wifi?? This doesn`t work with Vodafone DE :-( ...
...thanks a lot!!

Hi
I bought an X1 in the Netherlands on Vodafone and as such it is in Dutch. If I follow the instructions on page 1 will it debrand the vodafone and set the language to UK and also remove the simlock or will it just change the language and debrand it.
Also for the UK rom does the one in the link have all the funtionality because the one in the quotes on page 1 states that it doesn't have the radio. I want to lose the Vodafone branding but not the standard functionality.

hey,
got x1 from netherlands with hi mobile network, but it appeared to be dutch, which is not really suitable for me. so decided to change the language, followed these instructions, but encountered some problems. when i run hrdspl, the three (+white) colour screen appears, but after that, i get and error in the pc, that a recovery should be run. after recovery tried few more times to do it, but couldn't succeed... any ideas?
thanks

@phenx
I've ordered an X1 and am expecting it shortly.
I've flashed and partially cooked quite a few ROM's for both my Polaris and X500, so I have an idea of what this thread means.
I looked at downloading the de-crapped English RUU-signed.nbh from your link, but since my device is unbranded, I don't need it.
BUT: the RAR file size is over 160Mb !! What the s...t is in that thing, apart from the XIP ?

Afaik, the X1 doesn't have a simlock no matter where you buy it. Flashing will remove the branding and change the language accordingly to the file you use. So you can change to german, english, italian etc.. just visit the link in the "optional" section for all possible choices.
the ROM is divided in different sections.. RADIO, OS etc. It's perfectly fine if you only flash the OS section. Then the RADIO section won't be touched and everything will work fine

The demo movies, sounds, .tsk, .cabs etc. take quite a bit of storage. With that removed the size goes down to about 90MB.

Think I have killed my dad's phone !! HELP

Was updating my dads SPV M700 to WM6 and have hit a problem ....
The rom image updated ok, and I used AX3L's 2.0.8.
Unfortunately during the GSM update the software crashed, and froze at 51%. I had to re-boot and now I can't use the phone.
When I re-set the phone it says No GSM at the HTC screen and then stops loading at the WM6 front page.
I can get into the Bootloader by pressing the Power/Camera/Reset buttons, but when I try to re-flash GSM is says error 270, corrupt image. I have tried several files with no luck.
I would appreciate a hand ..... My dad is going to kill me
Thanks
gaz_az
try press
power button + camera + reset
to enter usb mode
then reflash the radio again.
hope this works
You can try 2 other things!
Download the Radio ROM again- you may have had a downlaod glitch in the 1st one. V1.38 is the best one to try.
Download and install the offical HTC WM5 ROM- this should be a full ROM including Radio, so sometimes completes more effectively. If you are brave, you can them retry the WM6 flash!
since bricking a hermes i stopped taking chances doing rom upgrades via usb..
the method that is most reliable ad safe is... via SD card
extract RUU_signed file from the upgrade pack (use winrar) and then copy it to the root of a blank sd (mini or micro etc) and rename to TRINIMG.nbh ..enter bootloader and follow the steps.. its fast and most reliable
Ok - Thanks for the help, but no luck so far. I have tried the suggestions above !
Heres what I have done ...
Hard reset - no change
Tried to re-flash with WM6 and WM5 cooked roms, but an error comes up saying the images are corrupt. This happens with any image I try.
I have also tried a legit HTC WM5 rom upgrade image, but it doesn't work either. It gives an error at 1% saying invalid device ID.
What I can do it get into the standard bootloader screen, which shows I have a USB connection when plugged in. If I allow the phone to boot up it stops at the WM6.0 picture. It won't go far enough to allow me to get an activesync connection.
ANy more adivice would be greatly appreciated !
gaz_az
Next thing then, is to try and obtain a downloaded Orange M700 ROM- there are a few links hereabouts.
For some reason, your device seems to want only its home ROM. If that fails there are other methods before sending back to Orange!
I downloaded an Orange rom, but still no luck. It gets to 1% again, then says there is a error/corrupt image file. Same as any of other cooked images !
What next ??
well if you were my son, i would advice you,to buy a plane ticket for somewhere very far,leave the house while i sleep,and pray every day you have left in your life,for not find you on my way
uhm, question about boot loader and flash on boot loader mode.
I copy file TRINIMG.nbh to root card mini SD, and i can't go as you say...
always Tri colors screen....

You are running out of options
Your choices now are to go further down the 'fiddling' route, or give up and return the phone to Orange for repair. At least if its is stuck in bootloader, they may not spot that you have been meddling
If you want to play more, there are very few Trinity specific fixes, but possibly some of the questions/answers in the Hermes WiKi may help, though the Bootloader versions etc won't be relevant.
[Edit: When you are in Bootloader mode, what version numbers are showing on the screen?]
is it so wrong i was smiling when i read this.
does make me wonder if u told ur dad what u were going to do or whether u were trying to be cocky by giving him a better phone without him knowing.
all i can say is, UNLUCKY !
I must say things are looking bad - I think it would take an original orange SPV rom if I could get one. Been to the orange website, but no luck !! Anyone know if orange released one ??
Been looking at the Hermes unbrick thread. Is there a way to enter KITL debug mode in the trinity ??
G
P.S. Dad knew I was upgrading the phone, already did it once for him and it went ok. No sure he knew I could acutually kill it
No Orange haven't released an official rom.
Well Orange UK haven't Orange FR have, so unless he speaks and reads french that's not an option.
Well, French or not, you've probably got nothing to lose by trying to load the official French ROM
Go Here and click the Mise-a-jour link (which is French for ROM) and it will open a zip file download without the need to verify the IMEI number.
If that doesn't work, nothing will! If it does load, you will at least have a working phone, even if it is in French, and you can go back over the ROM update again, remembering to apply the SPL Bootloader first!
Still "not allow", i don't know what the hell Orange was doing with P3600?
Lock everything?........it's suck !!!
No luck with the French ROM. Same thing gives an error message about wrong device ID.
I am one step from chucking it in the bin. Any more last minute ideas ??
erh, bizzard,i can't use "wtty.exe" to view my CID ...
i tape "info 2"and it always appear
Cmd>info 2
CID: Wait interpreter timeout
HTCSF kEØ(HTCE
Cmd>
...............................
Someone have issue for that?
If i can view CID code,i think i can find the right ROM to re-vivre...all suck !!!
erh, hey guy, your boot loader is english or french? sorry if it's the most stupid question of the day......i think french device use french boot loader,right?
i mean, when screen tri-color appear, use mini SD card to flash ROM, the language it apprear itself is english or french.
p/s : i was telephone to the HTC center, and they say as usual, send it to the center repair.
For french user address is : be sure u have enough garanty which required.

WM6 in other language than English ?

Palm released the WM6-Update in English now.
How long will they need to release the update in other languages, for example German ?
I asked Palm but they even have no planned release date they could tell ....................

Thanks for you info.
As far as i can see the update version is Treo750-2.18 carrier code VFD,
so Vodafone German.

Can u give us a feedback on such things as:
Are the alternate symbols working, i.e. umlaute like ä,ö,ü with on click, or do u still have to hit the navkey three times down to choose them?
What kind of branding does this rom offer? A1 or Vodafone splashscreen for powering on and off the phone? Any waste of storage, like program links known from the att rom?
I am really looking forward reeding u'r experiences.
The only branding in this Rom is the Vodafone logo at startup and shutdown. No additional crap and apps like in the AT&T one.To get rid of the Vodafone logo you could make the Treo vanilla by deleting the extrom as described in other threads here.To get the Umlauts just press the alt key.
After the vanilla procedure
CC-Cap : 000-000-001
Carrier DB: 251
Free memory
Data: 54.65 MB
Programs: 28.53 MB
Firmware and OS-build are the same as in the English Vodafone-Version.
The Software-Version remains unchanged.
Well, I cannot update. When I start the original Update I'll get the error, that the update isn't for my device. I have a REGULAR Treo 750 not the Vodafone branded one. So I know it's not the "right" one. Where do I get a patched RUU.exe or something?
I expanded the Updater .exe-File and started the T750URT.exe and he Flashed a ROM, and as there's only one, namely CHEEIMG_FW.nbh I thought I would have WM 6 on it, but I didn't.
So can it be, that I have to unlock my device? Or is it an other problem?
To upgrade you can use the SD-card method described in this forum.
Or try this one:
- start the updater, stop at the first screen
- look at your temp directory, there is a new folder created
- edit the file "payloads.xml", in the section "carrier codes" replace the 3 letters with the letters you see on your treos system info
- go on with the updater (start update)
good luck
calico
have you tried to take the way with the Flashcard?
rename the Cheeimg_fw.nbh to cheeimg.nbh
format the SD-Card, copy file on it, reset while pressing the button below the volume-control and wait
A 750v (what you'll get - Imho) is not able to pull the Mailboxnumber from your Sim (if it's not a VF one) and it is not editable.
Can you imagine to make an Image of your original 750? Because it's german.

If you tell me how, I would surely make an image of my treo 750 without V before upgrading to wm6. I would also love to have an backup, but i got no idea how to do it. And there's no Information in the Wiki.
hmm,
there must be some dump tools in the ftp area. I've never done this, so I can't tell you how to.

Palm Treo750 ROM updates

For:

So... which update is this, and for some reason it doesn't take the serial number that is in my Treo.
I have just bootloaded it and this are the specs that came out:
ROM Update
Generic ROW
Firmware: 1.54.0.00 --> newer than 3AU
CC-Cap: GEN-ENG-005
Carrier DB: 296
WM6 version: 5.2.1239 (Build 17746.0.2.4)
Changes I noticed:
- the operator logo (when turning the radio on and off) disappeared! WOOHOO! Not that I minded the Vodafone logo since I do use a Voda sim, but incase I change sims, atleast now I dont have an operator logo..
- the click sounds have reverted back to being non-existent (which I think is the norm for WM6).. but I missed it from WM5 so I loaded the fix for the sounds..
- Band selection I remember was around 4 options, now there is only 2 - [1]GSM (900+1800)+UMTS 2100; [2]GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)

You need to update via the SD method, search the forum for further details about it, there are hundreds of post.
so how do u update the sf version if u use the sd method?
Read up on the bootloader method (it's mentioned here quite a bit). Pretty simple:
- Back up everything important off the device as it'll all get wiped. Make sure your battery is well charged too (don't want it going flat mid-update)
- Extract the updater from the .zip file using Winrar or similar. Then when you get the .exe file, extract this as well - you'll get a whole bunch of files
- Look for a file called CHEEIMG_FW.NBH
- Rename this file to CHEEIMG.NBH and put it in the root directory of your memory card (make sure it's formatted in FAT32)
- Put the phone in bootloader mode (hold down the bottom side (PTT) button and the reset button under the miniSD flap together)
- The phone should then go into bootloader mode, detect the firmware on the card, and prompt you to install it by pressing the power button> Just follow the on-screen instructions, and soft reset when it tells you it's finished!
Thanks for your help Ben, after extracting the rar file and then extracting the exe. file I found the file that you were referring to. I guess last time when i downloaded the Wm6 it already has been extracted by the poster.

First off to you and others, please remember that this is a library, not an HTC help line. You walk into the library and search the shelves for the volumes that you need, then you open them and search through for your answers.
You don.t walk up to the librarian get a library card, drop off a paper with questions and then say, " I will be back in an hour for the answers " What you are asking is Kaiser modding 101 and you should have searched yourself first.
Follow every step here, to unlock your phone

The rom has nothing to do with the sim. If you followed all the steps in mskip's tutorial, then your phone should be sim unlocked.
If you then flash an Italian rom, your rom will be in Italian. If you flash an English rom ,your rom will be in English. What exact result are you looking for ?
I'm trying to use the handheld with a sim H3G with Rom italian, I can use any rom it must be Italian also not original HTC (called rom cooked right? I am not expert on windows mobile) now you list what I did step by step :
1. I turn on the handheld
2nd when in windows mobile without sim and without the micro sd I connect to pc via usb cable, start KaiserUnlocker.exe, all three steps are completed successfully
3rd Restart handheld put the sim (at handheld off course) and I always Simlock top left on display.
4th I tried to copy the files on your handheld executable downloaded from xda forum, which unfortunately is English, but when I try to launch from the handheld, entering into windows obviously because I do not know how to start the executable in another way, I always say that not is the type of "phone" correctly, I tried one but more than anything, I would not have created a casino with the rom installed (currently there is RUU_Kaiser_HTC_ITA_3.29.408.0_radio_sign_25.83.40. 02_1.65.17.56_Ship)
thanks

Please Help me to downgrade to WM2003

Hi, I have HTC Blue Angel running WM6.5 and find that it struggles to run at this level, i am looking to downgrade to the original wm2003 that it came with, I am on Orange UK
Current Seetings :-
Rom Version : 6.5.23004EN
Rom Date : 06/12/09
Radio Version : 1.15.00
Protocol Version : 1337.45
Extrom version : 23004-xplode
could anyone help and tell me excactly what files i need to download to restore to original shipped state and exactly how to carry out the downgrade.
Regards,
John.
welcome to the forum!
ok, what you need is:
- a pc, preferably with windows xp
- a wm2003 rom in your preferred language, e.g. from -=xplode's shipped rom archive=-
-a RUU (Rom upgrade utility), you can try mine there (attached)
and then you go to the -=wiki wizard for downgrading=- and follow the instructions there or follow these shortened instructions:
1. hard reset your device: power+reset, then camera and record, change the values in the menu from No, No, Yes to YES, YES, NO using the camera and record buttons, confirm with the mail button.
2. put your device in bootloader mode
3. connect it to the pc using the cradle or a usb cable
4. extract the shipped rom in any folder
5. put the maupgradeut_noid in there and start it
6. have a look, whether the 2nd page shows device and rom information, if not, exit, start task manager and kill activesync (wcesmgr and wcescomm) and go back to step 2
7. start the "upgrade"
8. when it's done, perform a wm2003 hard reset by pressing power+reset, and wait for the versions to show up in the bottom right corner, if all the values changed from your previous wm6.5 versions, you're probably fine and done by now.
in very rare cases, something goes wrong, some combinations of pcs and devices wouldn't work with my ruu, but you would realise that at step6 or 7, try and download another ruu then and try again, i think there also is one linked in the wiki.
at the end, your device should read something like:
R:1.12.00
G:1337.42
D:1.06.02

Bootloader
Hi i dont know if this makes any difference my Bootloader is showing Version 2.05 Reagrds.
no, it does not make any difference, since the bootloader's version is not the problem. before you go on doing anything, you should have a good look at this site:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4_Vista_Pic
and unless you are sure, the installation of the driver was successful, you should not attempt to flash the device, because then you will end up with a half-flashed device, that cannot be switched on and maybe also not flashed anymore.
http://firmware.atspace.com/ can't be accessed. is there any other site for wm2003se rom ?
I have the same problem, as i m downgrading to WM 2003, i followed all the instructions as u mentioned here, but when i run "maupgradeut_noid" it always said that this ROM is not for your device, i have Orange SPV M2000 (Blue Angel), please help i cant able to downgrade to WM 2003.
One more thing is there any way to Merge ExtROM with Storage in Windows MObile 6.5?

ok, we are dealing with several different things here:
1. the storage resize:
no, it can only be done in wm2003, no way to do it in wm5 or above, you have to downgrade
2. while attempting to downgrade, don't forget to put your device into bootloader mode, before connecting and starting maupgrade, then there will be no device error anymore.
3. of course for downgrading you need the original rom, at best from xplode's shipped rom archive, if you can't access it, just tell me your favoured language and country, and i will look it up and send you the direct download link. btw. xplode's site works fine!
favoured languange : English
Country : Indonesia
please send me the direct link. thx a lot. chef_tony
since he doesn't have indonesian roms and you are fine with english, here are the links of 2 different UK roms, you should be fine with.
T-Mobile UK WWE 1.42.00 1.42.112 1.13.00 Download (Ziddu) / Mirror 1 (Rapidshare) / Mirror 2 (Megaupload)
O2 UK WWE 1.40.00 1.40.242 1.12.00 Download (Ziddu) / Mirror 1 (Rapidshare) / Mirror 2 (Megaupload).
i hope these links work for you.
thx a lot chef_tony. I almost forgot. I want to ask whether the different rom can drain the battery fastly ? because my battery drain faster using WM6.5.
the power consumption of the device mainly consists of 2 things:
- wireless communications (gsm, gprs, bluetooth, irda, wi-fi)
- hardware usage (cpu & ram)
the wireless does not really vary from rom to rom but much like on the pc, graphically more intense applications use more power and since wm6.5 has a much nicer shell, it uses more ram and cpu to run. that uses more power.
if you want to save battery, reduce the backlight intensity, let the device switch off faster and end all applications that you don't need and de-activate wireless communications that you don't use. still then the battery life is limited but that is something you will have to learn to put up with.
thx chef_tony. I want to ask about the memory used ? is it better with storage 42mb and program 90 mb or repart it into default which is storage 60mb and program 60 mb ? is this RAM configuration also affect the battery consumption ?
no, that has nothing to do with that, because you don't resize the ram, you resize the extrom and the storage. that doesn't have any influence, kind of like the size of the sd card does not have influence.
