[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] phenx:
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 :P.

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

I recieved a Dutch X1 from vodafone, what's the best way to unbrand this one ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] phenx:
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.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] James!:
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?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] phenx:
Did you format your MicroSD card using FAT32? Did you put the image file on it and name it "kovsimg.nbh" ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] James!:
I did, I used an upper-case K, would that make a difference?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] phenx:
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 :-(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] James!:
I tried formatting it earlier and the only thing I put on there was the ROM file. How frustrating!

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.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] edvardas.m:
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
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ianl8888:
@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 ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] phenx:
Should be just the same :-)

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 :-)

Sorry I don't know.. perhaps someone in the HardSPL thread can help you.

@ianl8888

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

Hi,

I'm on search for some Magisk modules and hope you can help me. Don't find anything of this. Only in custom roms and think there have to somewhere in Magisk

- for close all apps in recent apps (in the middle of the bottom, not to scroll 5 minutes to the left)

- the status bar as brightness slider

- NFC for the QS tabs

- battery indicator for AOD

- small clock in AOD

I think that's all, thanks

I need some help fixing a windows CE based device, can someone please help? The manufacturer no longer supports the device :(

Basically I have a ancient digital back (sensor module for a camera), it is in 2 parts, there is the sensor with it's own serial number and a e-back (which is the computer part). I've had to change my e-back as mine developed a fault. The eback I use is second hand and not compatible because it has the serial of another sensor.

The eback only has 1 firewire port and 1 CF card slot. The manufacturer was able to perform allsorts of updates using the firewire port with their proprietory software, which they no longer have :(

I have tried the good old trick of putting total comander on the CF card but it is not detected.

Basically I need to figure out where the serial number is stored on the windows CE part and change it to match the sensor.

Happy to pay for help if I can get it working.
[Windows 11] Bcoates84:
Can you please post pictures of the device. What is brand name? Do you have any pictures of the serial numbers

I can look in my developers tool box once I know more about the device.

Did you test the (cf card) because it sounds kinda like that part is not working. Do you have an adapter for the card it is possible that the card is incorrectly formatted or corrupted.
[Windows 11] imyk:
The device is a Leaf aptus 22 digital back. Leaf as a company no longer exists. The device has 1 cf card slot and 1 firewire port. The base os is windows ce but it boots up in their firmware. I need to access the base ce os to see what is going on. Is there a way? I tried all the variations of creating folders on the cf card corresponding to the cpu type, though I am not sure of the exact cpu, I tried all variants. The screen on the back is touch screen and the interface that loads onto it is custom. No CE interface is shown anywhere.

[Windows 11] imyk:
The Cf card slot works fine for shooting images onto. Just cant get it to boot total commander.
[Windows 11] Bcoates84:
Pop off the battery and under the battery there should be some numbers I Would need to see that plz. The total commandor is most likely not compatible with windows ce.
[Windows 11] imyk:
Please see attached photo
[Windows 11] Bcoates84:
Wow. Sorry for the late reply. I was looking everywhere in my dev tool box and I couldn't find anything that will help. The one way to access the "rom" is to install net 4.2 with visual studio 2018 on your p.c but that really only grants access to the apps and gives you the option to make your own apps. If you have had "Total Commandor" working before on the device it is most likely you was running an older version of the program wich can be accessed through the archives. Clean the battery terminals with a cue tip I see some general grit. This device is worth a lot of $ so it is of importance to be careful. I see that the device is Bluetooth capable of accessing the memory. I would always recommend using the fire wire port for debugging 1394. What is the computer or device you are using to connect to the leaf? I am wondering if the leaf has a debug mode. Check the manual if you have it sometimes there is a cd with the manual with some drivers on it. Thank you.
[Windows 11] imyk:
Not sure if visual studio will give me access to the part where the serial number is stored 😔 the company never provided any software to allow you access to the rom, they used to charge thousands of pounds for simple config changes 😂😂😂

The firewire is used to push images to the laptop using their desktop software.

I mainly used it with mac osx and Leaf Capture software.

Bluetooth was also used for sending images to a ipaq device back in the days. Ipaq needed their client software.

The battery contacts are fine.

I was hoping to somehow access the rom or internal storage like you can if you stick a drive in a Linux machine, mount it and browse away.

Thanks for your help though.
[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] nazabarral76:
I can't find a way for my PC to recognize the device, I tried different drivers, Windows 7, XP, 8, 10 and nothing. different cables and nothing, it just charges me. in developer options active USB transfer and nothing.
[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] CaruzoOnTop:
That must be a hardware problem with the charge connector, I have the same problem, you gotta take it to a cell phone technical assistance in your city to replace the old charge connector to a new one. But actual, it's hard to replace because taking the screen out of Moto Z3 Play might mean it'll never work anymore, it's a luck question. And I can't forget to say that the charge conector may be soldered to the board, I don't know if it really is, it may or may not be, and it will get it harder to replace and solder again. I found an a technical assistance here in my city, I'll try to take my Moto Z3 Play to them in order for it to be fixed, but I have to sign a statement of responsibility saying that if it breaks, it isn't their fault because this cell phone is really hard to open without breaking the screen and also really hard to replace the charge connector due to the solder. I hope you can fix that, this problem is really so annoying and I fought it in two Moto Z3 Play that I had. Good luck!

Hey everyone out there , i am kind of new to all this , i need help.

My realme 7 code name rmx2151, losses its custom recovery (twrp , orangefox) after i boot any Android 12 based custom rom .

Phone works fine until i use advance reboot feature or power button combination to go into custom recovery, but when it boots again it is stuck on bootloader unlock error , and keeps boot looping , and then i have to reflash recovery and the rom too.

The recovery sticks if i use Android 11 custom rom.

Any help would be great..

Thanks in advance.

Found out that twrp for RUI2 A11 works on A12 based ROMs, pitch black recovery also works(pbrp rm6785 v3.2.0).

Hello community!

When playing around with my watch yesterday, something happened and the watch lost connection to my phone. And i was forced to reset it and set it up again.

After setting it up fresh, i see that the Galaxy Wear app on my phone doesn't show the watch battery information most of the time.

View attachment 5643809

View attachment 5643811

I keep getting the above error.

On the app home screen, the battery info gets updated some times, though most of the time, that too lags behind.

I used to see this problem once in a while before, but after the factory reset, this is how it is most of the time.

Even on the SmartThings app, it is the same story:

View attachment 5643815

A fresh installation is supposed to solve existing problems. But in this case, it has resulted in a new problem.

I have already restarted both my watch and my phone multiple times, and it hasn't helped.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks.

UPDATE

​

​

As suspected earlier, this issue is most likely caused by apps or watch faces installed on the watch that REQUIRE a companion app on the phone for certain functionalities, such as getting phone battery info.​

​

In those cases, either remove the battery optimisation for those apps on phone, OR uninstall such apps from both the phone and the watch.​

Although I can't confirm just yet, it appears to me that some watch faces can potentially hinder with sync or cause connection related issues.

[OnePlus 10 Pro] Gen8Master:
This is honestly unacceptable how major features like this are deactivated due to nobody taking ownership. This vendor is becoming a joke. I recon this will be my last oneplus phone. Might as well pay a few extra hundred dollars and mitigate the risk of bricked functionality.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
Forget it. Since July 2019 that I'm asking them for an official Logkit that give us the switch to enable VoLTE.

They said that it might be my ISP that didn't activate it, then when I said to them that Vodafone Portugal had successfully activated it even OnePlus smartphones weren't on their "white list", they simply didn't care and never sent it to me.

Then I found the Logkit here and I successfully used, without ANY issue, till I updated to Android 12, 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Always an HTC client (well done HTC... 🤦🏼) and this is my first, and unfortunately the last, OnePlus smartphone.

I really like this 7 Pro; it still works very well and it doesn't have punch holes or any sh* for the front camera (which I don't use) so it has been perfect but the behaviour from OnePlus regarding VoLTE and updates. Remember how they bragged in September 2019 for releasing an update right after Pixel phones. After that was the disgrace we've seen with late updates, stable updates with bugs (don't quite understand the intention of having a beta program if some bugs on the stable version we're reported since beta 1 in some cases I read in the OnePlus community).

They simply don't care about their customers (only the ones that are always licking their... well, feet.

Now, it's funny to see the path they are going, being more and more swallowed by the mother company.

Hello community!

The built-in backup feature is extremely limited, and almost useless because it essentially backs-up only the Quick Settings screen and a handful of other Settings.

I have sideloaded this File Manager using EasyFireTools.

This file manager allows me backup all apks, as well as connect to my phone and PC wirelessly over the network.

But the main issue is app data. None of the watch faces come with a configuration file that can be exported/ imported, so every watch face has to be setup from scratch each time.

Is there a simpler way to backup watch face configurations as well as other Apps'data?

Thanks.

I have seen some of the watch faces from thema and others like RichFace, whose phone apps look similar.

Most of the features are locked behind a paywall. Does one have to buy each feature separately or buying once unlocks all features?

On the Play Store, they say x dollars per item. So not sure what exactly that means.
