[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] diegomgcosta:
My device doesn't sync

Hey guys,

My Xperia is not recognized by host pc.

Only USB mode is working. I already tryed to update my Room by Sony Update Service and it's not possible as well.

I'm afraid to try to install Hard-SPL to try a micro SD method cause it says "2. Establish an ActiveSync connection with your PDA Phone" and this is exactly what I can't reach.

Any idea how to proceed?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] kanchianandkumar:
i have been doing flashing through microsd card method after while flashing after multi color the screen shows white screen with loading and it take much long time plz me really it takes time it got struck
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tussi1:
x1

can anybody help me please?

I got my xperia x1 since 1 week and I really want to try the WM6.5, but it doesn't work! :(

The first step is easy, I see the tricolour colour on my display but then, at the second step, I don't see the NBH-data?! So I cant finish the WM6.5.

Do you have an answer for me what I can do or what I maybe do wrong??

THANK YOU!!!! :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] 4yunweb:
blimey, it's that simple, huh, i never expected that!!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] M3tic:
Followed all the instruction, did the hard SPL too. Yet all I get is Loading... alone with nothing else happening.

Could anyone enlighten me and the rest of my fellow mates whom are facing this issue?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] M3tic:
Followed BioVolt's video tutorials and it worked, thanks BioVolt :)!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zurich14:
What to rename?

You write to rename the file which is normally "ruu_signed.nbh". I was quite afraid :confused: that I would make something wrong because the image I downloaded was a very long name with the ending ".image". Still, I trusted my feeling and renamed that file to the name you suggested and put it on my micro-SD and, guess, it worked. One thing was though a bit frightening. When I used the hardSPL.exe I got an error on my PC with an error code like 202 and the xperia showed only loading for 15 mins. I then unplugged the USB and waited. After 10 other minutes I just took out the accu. Then I started the xperia by pressing the minus-volume and the top-button each together for 4 secs and it started with the grey screen where I then could proceed with everything and all worked fine!:)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] deathgod1989:
can i use this method with radio's too? thanks!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] denyboy:
Im just flashin ROM with MicroSD method. I formated to FAT32 copied and renamed file. Started in 4color mode and started installing ROM. I got to the

Update in Progress

Blue bar is at i guess 95%. Its almoust at the end. But its stuck at 95% for 10 minutes or more. Is this OK???

Should i restart the phone. Its 15 minutes or 20 now at 95%.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cyclist:
SIM in or out?

I've read this whole thread and can't find any reference to SIMs. Should I take the SIM out before flashing, leave it in, or doesn't it matter?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] NeoXerO:
After flashing a certain custom rom, I get "No image file!" every single time I try to install another custom rom. Why is this?

I'm getting this feeling it's because I connected my Xperia to my PC via Hard disk storage and then Formatted it from there completely. Then I synced it with mobile device center and copied the Kovsimg.nbh file to my microSD card via mobile device center (just like in BioVolt's guide). I know what I'm doing... I've flashed 4 other roms before. First time I formatted it like that though.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] thejoker01:
How long does this process take? My rom update bar has been stuck at around 10% for the last 10 minutes. What should I do? My xperia already has hard-spl.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] alias_neo:
Hmm

I have noticed one thing personally recently.

I have flashed dozens of ROMs lately and normally I use the SD method but since I gave my 2GB away that I always used, not one single SDHC (4GB+) has ever worked for this method. I have several 4GB and 8GB SDHCs from various manufacturers including Sandisk, none of them find the image file even when formatted correctly. With my 2GB I flashed almost 50 times and had no problems.

Now I'm stuck using the PC method (which I hate because of intermittent electricity) because the SD method just wont work with any of the SDHC cards I have.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] pulang_lata:
I'm new with WinMo and did something to corrupt my ROM (actually SEUS did it :D). Just want to say thanks for this tutorial. I got my X1 up and running again. Cheers!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
I think it's your own problem. I tried a couple 16G (Sandisk, Patriot ...etc) and no problem at all.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cyclist:
My 16G Transcend does not want to flash, but a couple of older 256MB and 1G cards do, so I'm hanging on to them purely for flashing.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] meipenlei:
Got it to flash

just for your information. I switched the USB to PC connection to disk-mode - now I can flash it via SD-Card method :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] angel.lara69:
hey I follow all the instructions to install a cooked rom on my x1

I did the hard-spl succefully and when I loaded the KOVSIMG.NBH file on the root

of the sd card it shows that is doing the update (white screen with blue writing and loading bar) but then the phone resets itself and then it stars over again without gettin anywhere

and tryiong to do an upgrade over over again....

any idea wat i did wrong??
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] eechyd:
hi all! can we use our x1 after just doing hard spl? I mean is the device usable after hardspl and before updating new rom?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Karadenizli:
Yes it is!

Hard-SPL is like BIOS, you dont loose any software, contacts....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Karadenizli:
try to start the phone without sd-card,

or make a hardreset just after the rom is updated...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] angel.lara69:
when i try to start the phone without the sd-card it goes to the tri color screen n it stays there

I will try to do a hardresent right now, (hopefully it works lol)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rickysio:
Just flashed my X1 just now, might want to mention that you're supposed to take the batt out and put it back in after the update completed screen is shown, instead of being like me and staring at the screen for one hour before I went "F--- it".
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] psp786:
lol same thing happened to me

but i soft-reset it after like 15mins
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
Taking the battery out is not the only way to reset X1, X1 has a reset button after all.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jonikah:
Hi, already have flashed my phone but if I want to do it again , do I have to run the hardSPL again before flashing ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rickysio:
No, you don't have to.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] angel.lara69:
I still havent had any success with my phone =(

when i take out the sd card it gets stuck on the tri color screen and it just says loading n it stayed like that for the whole day without doing anythin, I watched the videos on how to intall a custom rom again and I notice that the "ruu_signed.nbh". file is quiet large (size of the rom) before being renamed.

but the "ruu_signed.nbh" file that i renamed to load on my phone was only 510k

could that be wat i did wrong:confused:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rickysio:
SD card method tried?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aufche:
but it will destroy cellphone guarante?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] costas100:
A question nobody ask.Please help with ROM flashing.

First of all, Hi all.

I am going to install the PCTech4U_v2.0_WWE rom but i have one major question.You are saying in an other post ( in Micro SD Method) that "rename the image file (normally "ruu_signed.nbh") to Kovsimg.nbh, copy that to the micro-sd, and put that it yr X1'.

What is the progress?I download a folder with name:PCTech4U_v2.0_WWE

Inside this folder there are 9 files in including PCTech4U.nbh.Now you mean to rename the PCTech4U.nbh file to Kovsimg.nbh???There is no ruu_signed.nbh file name (rename the image file (normally "ruu_signed.nbh") to Kovsimg.nbh).

Well with plain words, what exuctly we copy in the micro SD?

Thanks in advance
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] costas100:
No one???

No one knows??

Please HELP.I try every methode but it stucks in "loading" screen.

Even with the ROMUpdateUtility hapens the same thing.I even try the Touch-IT_Xperience_v15_Build23502 (ruu_signed.nbh rename it to Kovsimg.nbh) and copy it at Micro SD root (with usb at disk mode) and later i try with Active Sync (because Active Sync change the file in its way and i thing maybe this is the reason).

So, i try two ROM's and every methode i can find.NO RESULTs.I even download a video explaing the prosess to Touch-IT_Xperience_v15_Build23502 ROM.DIDN'T WORK for me.

Cant tell....:mad:

HELP if you can.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] costas100:

Thatnx for all info all of you have in here anyway.Is fantastic so far.I will look at it an post if i found out some thing.

Unable to flash via MicroSDHC now

Hi all,

Up to recently, I am not able to flash using the MicroSD method on my 8GB Silicon Power (FAT32, Class 6) card. Prior to this, I was able to flash with it and now I get a "No Image File" error shown. I can flash via normal RUU method though.

Steps I have tried :-

1) Change USB to PC connection as Disk Drive

2) HardReset

3) Reflash HardSPL

4) Reflash older Custom ROMS

I suspect it could be because I last flashed the new radio 1.16.25.48 using the RUU method, and since then any rom flash couldn't work on the MicroSD method.

If anyone has any ideas on this, kindly share your knowledge although I can still live with the RUU method.

TQ all.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] omkey2001:
HI,

I am trying flashing ROM with microSD method.. i followed the instructions as you told, i saw tri screen...and now it just says Loading....

what should i do? its been 2 hrs now...same condition....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] deepthroat:
when the screen says Loading ....it means that device is looking for the image file. Make sure you have file KOVSIMG.nbh on root of your Storage Card.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] im_very_kool:
thank you very much.

i was getting frustrated, but this is the only way that worked for me.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Author:
Thx with this method have German Os flashed on my X1 with original English Os.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] 76inc:

thanx in advance

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Dryll7:
hi noob here

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] FunMCRider:
I had the "No Image File" and my problem was I was formatting the card

"Fat 32 bites" not FAT32! Had to do it on my Windows 7 machine XP Pro only had Fat option My New Rom is now Loaded.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] TonWes:

Hi,

I have just got my X1 back from reparation (keyboard) and now I want to flash win 6.5 on it.

Do I need to do a hard-spl even when SE have updated all programs and reset it to original?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] borg28:
with pc flashing is easier it worked for me better anyways.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] scorpion_s66:
how can i flash roms with pc, roms link XperiaInfinite ??? flash with microsd not works for me either, in bootloader i just see serial in screen and nothing
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] borg28:
open the custom ruu and connect it than run the programm it tells you exactly what to do.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] borg28:
and don't fool arround with the flashing let it do its work 100 %
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] scorpion_s66:
thanx bro, where i can find ruu and what's exactly the ruu??

is it like hard spl app?? is it difrent for every custom rom that i download in nbh format or it's the one??
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] scorpion_s66:
I' just do the hard spl thing , can u explain more about flashing with pc what's i need and how to do it??
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] borg28:
yes every rom needs his one ruu find them in the folder you downloaded press it and make sure you follow instructions.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] borg28:
press the hard spl run it than after that the ruu make sure you change the name of the NBH file in your card then run it you can miss it.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] votanderhector:
ok I'm really starting to loose my mind here. I've installed the hard-SPL without any Problems, but the bootloader doesn't do anything! I've tried 3 different ROMs now. I'm using a 8gig Scandisk card. it's formated properly but the Bootloader simply doesn't do sh*t. It just starts and thats it it doesn't even prompt a message that it didn't find the image or anything. could anyone help me I've been trieing this for over three hours now.

Or what different methods do exist to flash? I didn't find anything about the mentioned RUU-Method.

thanks in advance
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] r3bel:
Works OK with:

Unbranded X1i (SIM-free UK)

Official R3AA (Generic UK)

Corsair 2GB microSD

Please note: I did not flash *any* SPL, because this is a signed ROM.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Temoi19:
mine jsut keeps saying loading how long does that go on for?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] moolash:
same here

same question here...

Loading... has been on for about 5-8 minutes. Does this take this long???
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Draken Korin:
do you get progress on progress bar?

it can't be fully generalized as it depends on the rom size, but all in all it shouldn't take longer than lets say 10-12 min max (I never explicitly measured time...)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] JihaZafik:
is there any way to do hard spl withou sync cable? coz i lost it... :confused:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Draken Korin:
more a q for the hslp thread isn't it? :)

well, read here

cheers
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zmartic:
(This is for all people who have problems with flashing)

1: Inform yourself about what U going to do with your device

2: CHECK YOUR HARDWARE!

3: Make sure to follow all steps provided

I had problems with SD-Card where all ROM's installed did not work properly, OR I could not run the Image file from boot screen...

Until I have noticed that card is writing files at low speed, after which I took my old card microScanDisk 512mb.

All problems after using ScanDisk were salved. ROMS worked faster, better, more stable and had no more freezing problems, black screens…

Xperia has issues with Kingston cards, donno why... my card is brand new Kingston 2GB but it gave me a full week of headache (that problem I solved with aspirin:)

Go with the flow...

xperi bricked

hey guys i flashed the yptan wm 6.5 lite v 1.1 rom and it says the beta test concluded for updates contact the web site,now i don't want an update but these are the problems i request the solution.

1) i flashed using micro sd method,in that process i used the disk drive connection option snd flashed the rom now i want to flash a new rom but i when i connect my xperia to my laptop it doesn't recognises the micro sd card so not able to paste a new rom in my sd card.

2) i tried HARD SPL but that option also i can't use because xperia can't be connected through active sync suggets me a way to copy any new flash in my micro sd card....help guys...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shkumma:
flash with sd

Which file to get for flash wm 6.1....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Draken Korin:
what's your current installation: everything on stock (as delivered by SE)?

you want a custom 6.1 rom?

start with h-spl (olinex thread), pick one of the roms, decide on the flashing method (customruu or sd card, both in sticky section) and flash it (backup your personals before), done

cheers :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shkumma:
DrakenKorin,

I dont understand lot of stuff here because im new with WM but I've flash ROM with SD and was not able to do a h-spl before because my phone was not starting so i made direct flash with sd and do you think is it ok my phone is working OK what about the future do i need to do h-spl now..

thnx in advance...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Draken Korin:
so you already flashed roms...roms not from sony ericsson?

then your phone already has h-spl and you can flash any x1 rom that you like

if the rom you flashed was from se you have to h-spl for custom roms (non se roms)

independent of how (used method) you flash
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shkumma:
Now im clear with the case, but that ROM ive get here in forum maby was from se now i will make a H-spl and to make it ready for the future just in case if it happens aggain...

thnx...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Exa777:
Ahem...okay il give alot of details to try to make it clear and easy for you guys so i can get some help

I have problem with this metod, on screen is only Loading... and that is all.

How to solve this , PLEASE.

BR Vladan
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Draken Korin:
you did everything as described in #1?

loading means its searching for image

make sue you renamed it to Kovsimg.nbh and put in sd card root
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vietdoan20062006:
great method, thanks

vietdoan20062006
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ovVe:
did the post #1.. and all i gotis the tri color screen and has label "serial" on the bottom..:confused:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Draken Korin:
what sd manufacturer are you using?

kingston cards are often reported with that kind of problem
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ovVe:
un branded.. "micromax"
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Draken Korin:
and properly formatted as FAT32 I expect (and not e.g. "Fat 32 bites" which doesn't work)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ovVe:
yeah in FAT32.. i just want to try this one if it really works and also i forgot my usb cable.. anyway it doesnt work for me.. thanks :)

[OnePlus 9 Pro] Davies_90:
I will keep an eye on this thread for a while and see what peoples reactions are such as battery longevity and whether i can use it as a daily driver.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Or you could just flash the ROM and help the developers with your feedback. People have different usage patterns and battery life is subjective to each person. I thought this was already obvious to people, but it seems I was wrong.
