Please advice !!! - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My brother bought for me X1 from Leipzig Germany its factory unlocked and has no branding. But it has windows in German.
My question is can I flash english rom vithout any spl unlocking?
and if yes please give me link which english wwe rom can flashed to my device.
I have experience with Elfin and Elfin was bought from china has chinese wm so I used wwe elfin rom and directly without unlocking it flashed.
So is there any chance that I can have englisj X1 rom original not cooked that can drieclty flash to my device?

You will need to flash HardSPL for X1 first (it's sticky on this forum), then you can flash UK rom. Remember that German version of X1 have qwertz keyboard, so if you will flash UK rom then some keys will have another function then they show.

But after that hardspl when I will change to UK can I go directly SEUS to recoknized my phone as UK phone and update via website? So if somebody have experience flashed German rom to UK generic and after that tested SEUS service please share here the results.

Can somebody give me link for UK Generic non customized rom I found on forum but it says at then begingn of link Customized UK I need original genereic UK rom please help me to find also if you tell me how to dump my rom I can dume German Generic rom for share with forum

When you've done HARDSPL you can use the SE update service

One more question I have conected with SPL things.
I have experience workign with HTC TOUCH XL USPL tool and flashed lot of roms with that tool but in HTC any time you need to flash another rom you should use USPL tool and then at some stage start RUU and flash your rom.
also if you stack in bootloader or in other stage you can always recover your phone using RUU and your device default rom.
Is this possible in X1?
Lets say I have German Genereic rom deivce I want to flash to UK rom direclty without any SPL tools and stucked in some stage with error. Can I use Kovski RUU and German Genereic rom (which is the my device's defalut rom) and recover from that stage?
Thanks in advance

You should be able to yes, obviously make sure you've done hardspl before going to the UK rom.
The SEUS uses RUU to flash the rom.
If you have your own rom (such as stock german one) then it's much much easier to flash from the SD card. Jack did a decent walkthrough of that.. but just rename the file to KOVSimg.nbh and go into bootloader (volume down and reset at the same time).

is USPL available for the X1?? or its just the HD?

USPL is not available for Xperia... would be cool if it is made available at some point, though I've already flashed HardSPL!

Restore Backup From Sd Card When Stuck In Splashscreen ?? Help Senior Members!!!!

Hi,
- I'm stuck into the first splashscreen
- I can get into bootloader mode
- When trying to run USPL it hangs at 50... with 2 errors
The only solution I know is the factory rom (DUTCH ORIGINAL HTC ROM - not branded) but it wasn't delivered with the device on cd
Does anyone know if it's possible to flash a backed up rom from my mini-sd card from the bootloader? or get into dos from bootloader to type a command to run the exe file maybe?
ORIGINAL DUTCH HTC ROM (NON BRANDED) WM2003, WM5 or WM6
----------------------------------------------------------------
If anyone has or can find a non branded original dutch HTC rom, would be great to help me (and lots of other people). Sending in your device is 6 weeks waiting, did it last time. So the repair service has the original rom, I wonder why this isn't available online, there are so many roms downloadable online from different operators, but no original dutch HTC rom ?!?
I think I can flash back with succes, even if it was an older original HTC rom (WM2003 or SE or WM5 or WM6).
Anyone can help all the people that are stuck with the dutch original rom? or other people that are stuck and want to flash from their backups from bootloader?
Hope to receive some serious answers from experienced 'senior' xda users
Thanks for your help!

Nld Rom For Htc P3300 Artemis
Hi,
Thanks for trying to help, but the rom you mention is for HTC Trinity, i need a dutch official rom (WM5) for HTC Artemis (P3300);
I did try it, what can i lose with a bricked phone, and setup quits at 1% mentionning 'image file corrupt'. I guess because it's for another HTC.
I did get to 3% with other rom images, but setup was broken off then, due to that i cannot run uspl with a bricked phone.
Anyone else finds a dutch wm5 rom for us all ?
Thanks!

The ruu with wm5 doesnt work> connection error
The .nkb doesnt work with ruu mun> file read error
What to do???
LOLOLOLOL
Are you sure it is .nkb? Wizard doesn't use that kind of ROM...
What?? Of course he uses. I extracted the RUU and rom file from .exe instaler.
What could i do? I tried also flash it with softspl and i didnt work.
Well,which rom you are trying to flash and which rom is at present running on the phone,plz be specific ?This problem usually occurs when trying to flash a rom in a language different then already present on the phone.Are you running a Russian or some other language OS on the phone and trying to flash with a rom in some other language ?

I have T mobile mda vario g4 and i want to install official wizard wm5 rom in german language. And i cant.
No i am running wm6.1 with english language. I had never, after the hardspl, problem with flashing g4 roms. Everithing worked perfect with muunˇs RUU.
I have english rom( all instaled roms were anglish) and i want to downgrade to official wm5 german rom. And tzhen upgrade to another wm6 or wm6.1 rom.
Why i cant??
Sorry. U are right. The rom file is. nbf , and yeah the official rom is like that.
If i try to flash it with ruu in official pack - i cant cause wrong update tool ( no connection)
And if i want to flash this official rom with munn ruu - file read error( something wrong with .nbf file)
sry, double post
and thanks for helping me out
Ok,I got your point. You are at present on wm6.1 latest custom build rom in english and you want to go back to your phones official wm5 rom,ok ?
Right,well,as you have done 'HardSPL' your phone and its IPL/SPL is patched to IPl 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21.olip,right ?
ok,now as you have patched to ipl 2.21.0001 & spl 2.21 olip through 'HardSPL',its not possible to revert back to official rom,untill you remove the 'HardSPL' from your phone and flash the original/official IPL/SPL of your phones carrier Rom bootloaders.After only removing HardSPL and getting the official ipl/spl,it'll will be possible to flash the official wm5 rom,ok
Now,how to remove 'HardSPL', read and follow the method as instructed in the 'Sticky' in the G4 forum by dharvey "How To: Remove HardSPL"
Well,then again,if you want to upgrade to another wm6 rom,you'll have to either again use 'HardSPL' or 'SoftSPL',but,if at all,you want to flash with another wm6 rom,then why first downgrade to wm5,why not straight away flash the rom while with HardSPL still on the phone ?
Cheers!
Yeah, everything is soo as u wrote.
you: why not straight away flash the rom while with HardSPL still on the phone ?
I have very strange problem with wm6.1 rom that i would like to use, until the new paradox rom will come out. i will try it for sure.
U can read about problem in wm6 subforum in windows Mobile 6.1 slim editon thread.
So do i have any option unless to remove hardspl?
u are the king , i wouldn come in weeks to the "please remove hardspl, " solution. hahahaha thanks again
Ok, thanks
well,if you got a problem with the wm 6.1 slim,then just flash another wm6.1 latest rom e.g by 'it's right' 'TNT 19199 series Professional Rom' as I have personally used it and found it to be an excellent rom,without removing HardSPL and reverting back to official wm5 rom.Just give it a try,I'm pretty sure you'll like it and may sove all your problem,as it'll replace all the rom files of the previous wm6.1 slim rom.
Cheers!
Tooo late. hehe
To remove the hardspl u need 2 minutes. I removed it and tried to instalruu_vario_aku3.3_3822_382120_026911_tmo_de_ger_ship
Again once again i get the message from ruu = error file read.
Could somebody open that rom and look for problems.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
First one on the site.
Right now i want to flash another official rom( from remove hardspl thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342744) and it say again file read.
What could that mean??
EDIT:
I just succesfully instaled ruu_vario_aku3.3_3822_ rom with ruu in the rom` folder. I tried also the T-Mobile MDA Official WM5 Rom (old) with his ruu and it didnt worked. Also softspl didnt work on both roms.
I need quick answer
now i flashed wm5 rom aku 3.3 and the ipl/spl changed to 3.08 . Before was 2.26 which i got with instaling ipl/spl pack.
Is that bad for g4 with ipl/spl 3.08 , is it safe to install wm6.1 roms?????

is there a problem installing original GPS enabled ROM over cooked ones??

I have an HTC P3600 from france (Originally with SFR then deblocked and serial was accepted at HTC site for update) working with english Ausdim ROM and SPL 9.99-CF and i would like to try the original french ROM i downloaded from HTC site or the original english ROM from HTC wiki.
Would that cause a problem or reblock the CIF or block install of any modded ROM later
also if i try the DOPOD original ROM would it cause same problems or not??
THX for your help
should i flash SSPL before using original rom or still use Hard-SPL??
anybody there??
Since nobody answered and I actually tried it
YES it is possible to downgrade from cooked roms to original version but always use SSPL as recommended by trinityguides.info and it will propably revert your SPL & radio version to original But not CID as I have seen.
But you have to install Hard-SPL again before installing a cooked rom.
Sometimes just installing the original rom can unbrick the phone stuck at boot screen even if failed to complete but of course this is not done using SSPL so i dont assume it is that safe
these remarks are from my personal experience

is HardSPL necessary to flash an original ROM

Hi I have a HTC not ORANGE, AT&T, Turkcell etc. TYTN2, which is German and it is not Cid locked.
I want to flash an original English ROM (RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.rar), is it necessary to run the HardSPL or can I just run the rom update utility.
Thanks.
Now don't quote me on this but I think if you're flashing an OEM rom from ATT to an ATT branded phone you don't neeed to update the spl. same is true for the HTC kaiser when flashing an official HTC rom. But, if you wanna flash an ATT Rom to your HTC kaiser, or vice versa, I believe you need to change the spl. Now I'm not 100% sure about this and hopefully one of the senior members can clarify this, but you could just play it safe and switch ot like jocky's 3.29 or 3.56 spl and not worry too much about it.

Flashing Back to Stock ROM

can anyone give me a step by step on how to flash my ROM back to STOCK?
if you want it for warranty reasons then you will need to flash the SPL also to stock. you can just download the latest ROM from HTC website and flash it. it will give you the stock ROM on the existing SPL.
End of the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2710548&postcount=1.
Remember you will also need to go back to stock spl if for warranty purposes.

nevermind what i said there, for sum reason it works again now
I've kinda got thesame question. I flashed a stock rom (latest EU rom from HTC site), then stock SPL (1.14) and then the stock rom again. Is this enough to be able to claim warranty without HTC finding out about custom roms/boatloaders?
Thanks

That depends. What was your original rom and spl? Are you entitled (via location) to use the new EU rom, eg if you live in America then this may not be acceptable to HTC.
When you boot up the new rom, are the screen colours ok as this will tell you if you have the right spl for your rom? If you have the latest EU rom, I doubt that 1.14 spl would be the right one, but it could be I guess. With the stock rom, you should also get the stock radio. So provided you have the stock rom available to your area, with the correct matching spl and the radio, there is no way to tell of your exploits
Thanks for your reply
The problem is that the screen of my device won't turn on anymore (Device powers on, I can connect with activesync, digitizer works fine) so i have no way of checking if I have the right SPL or not...
I also have no idea what my stock rom/spl/radio version was.. I live in the Netherlands, and through the official HTC site i flashed the latest rom, which included a radio (a radio version was part of the filename). What I'm trying to find out is:
Could 1.14 have been my stock SPL, or was that version never used on any Dutch Blackstone?
If the spl doesn't match the rom (wrong colours) that isn't much of a problem; I can tell them I tried to update my rom because I thought maybe my screen would work again after I installed the latest ROM... But if I have a SPL that was never even used I don't think they will buy that
According to the wiki there are 2 Dutch roms - one would require a 1.14.0000 spl and the other a 1.54.0000 spl. So I guess either of those would do.
When you flashed the rom from the website, where you still using hspl or uspl? Depending on the rom you flashed you will need to flash the matching spl. Do you have the full notation/naming of the rom you flashed. This should give an indication of which spl you will need.
As much as I appreciate ClydeB1 for assisting you, I fail to see a reason for this thread. A thread already exists for flashing advice, i.e. the dummies guide. Also the HardSPL thread exists and has advice on how to flash back to stock. So depending on your query post in either of these.
The initial query and reason this thread was created has been answered, so no need for this thread to remain open. Thread closed
