[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
I've tried before and didn't get any success with copying it across, sorry, I don't know why.

maybe because it's in use, but even after a soft reset it didnt work.

@tjex do you definitely have a security unlocked device? If so then any radio from the current models should flash I think.

@ wildchild. I can't see any point, I think it's unlikely to work, unless your device is security unlocked.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] eboy44:
tjex see if you can flash this radio to your phone without the 226 flash error

http://sharebee.com/5b46eef2

if you get the error you will be in bootloader mode and all you need to do is re-flash with the original xperia radio and you will be all good.

and also how did you get your device security unlocked?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tjex:
I'll five the new Radio a try this evening and report back.

As for the security unlocked, it came that way. I've had the pre-release unit since last June via a friend. Other than the security unlocked, it's exact the same as the others.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
Hmm wondering if the geniuses have had problems with a security unlocking program for the x1, I wouldn't think they would as they have released them for virtually all the other models...hopefully they will grace us with one...

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] eboy44:
tjex did you get a chance to try the radio?

i just want to see if a security unlock will actually get us somewhere or if it still wont work
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tjex:
Sorry, didn't get around to it before, work got me swamped. But JUST did the flash and it worked full bar to 100%. Looking at the version in the OS it show radio: 1.12.25.19

Full bar on reception and GPS seems to be faster! Though these things are hard to measure.

Surprised that someone hasn't figured out how to security unlock these phones yet.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Angelusz:
Am I guessing right that the newest we've got for X1 locked is 1.11? I'm going to flash it in a few moments anyway, lets see if it's any better than 1.10. :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tjex:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ianl8888:
My device is unlocked, but I've been using 1.11.25.71 for about 10 days (since Fards posted it).

I can find no difference from 1.10 for wifi, BT, GSM, GPRS, 3G but these functions were OK anyway

TTFF for GPS in 1.11.25.71 is extremely good under most atmospheric and geographical conditions I've tried (QuickGPS is up-to-date). I've regularly had 9-10 satellites found (as against 7-8 with 1.10) and HDOP 0.8-1.0m (as against 1.0-1.2m for 1.10)

BTW, I'm still waiting for the Mugen 1800mAH battery supply :(

Waiting, but for the new radio or an app to unlock phone?:p
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
When it's ready then there'll be more to tell.

But all I know so far is that unlock is coming.. :D

We just need some patience..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lokatho:
Oh boy oh boy, that's good news!! It will be worth the wait then...:)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tjex:
I wanted to go back to a version v11 of the radio to compare speeds with v12.

Flashes to 100% but OS still shows v12. Any ideas how to get around this?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
is it x300 or x301 ? try changing it to the opposite maybe?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Loco5150:
uuuu mama!!! Mee want to flashi all the possible radios!!!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tjex:
No idea, I didn't have to change anything on the ROM. Just ran it through the RUU and that was it.

Wouldn't mind trying out version 1.11.25.71 to see how good that one is. Can't find it on the main rom page. Though if I can't down grade my roms I might be stuck with a version 12.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] eboy44:
can you flash to say version 1.10 radio or any other radio?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ianl8888:
http://www.zshare.net/download/56950661496ff51c/
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tjex:
Great, I'll give this Radio a try. I flashed back to the official 1.10.25.18 and that finally changed the setting in the OS. Though I have to say, I notice that the reception wasn't as strong now. GPS is still slow, could be a slow day for GPS over all. Will test 1.11.25.71 tomorrow, maybe it will be a clearer sky by then.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] eboy44:
tjex i have to say the 1.12.25.19 radio gave me (and many other touch pro users) the best results as far as reception, gps, and battery life when i had the touch pro. i dont think any of the xperia radios will be as good as the 25.19 one
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] E90 Commie:
Can the new radio Tjex has tested be flashed to a security locked device? I have it downloaded but I haven´t tried yet. Is it worth a try?

Edit: I tried and it gave me RSA Fail. I have realized my X1 is security locked....Aargh. Please upload a flashable edition of this radio. I think most of the X1s are security locked - radio´s who only works on unlocked devices seems to be of a restricted value. The Touch Pro 11.x radio flashes fine on my device.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] eboy44:
we dont even know if the other touch pro radio successfully flashes because the radio number doesnt change on our device, we have to wait for the security unlocker before we can use all the other devices radios
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tjex:
On the unlocked device, the radio number does change, though to be honest it's so hard to judge how much better one radio is from another. So far, the version 12 is going well for me.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] manbean:
I know it breaks the line of questions in this thread, but I do have a radio related question (and I admit that I'm a 'n00b' when it comes to posting, but I've searched and I couldn't find anything on it).

My question--I notice that when I'm using my Xperia and when the HSDPA signal strength gets to be low (around 1 bar), then the phone will at some arbitrary point decide to switch over to EDGE. The paradoxical thing about it is that even though my apparent signal strength is weak, I'm still able to download files very quickly (registering 3.5 mbps even on just the 1 bar)--though regardless of the current speeds, at some eventual point in time a decision is made for the phone to switch to the crippling slow EDGE network.

As a temporary fix I know I can set my phone to only use the WCDMA network (and not the GSM network)--and this works fine as long as there is a trace of HSDPA/3G signal. If I do this then I have no problems using my phone off of 1 bar, for as long as I want. The obvious downside--in some places it leaves me without a signal.

So the main thing I was wondering was: who or what makes that decision of what the threshold is to give up on HSDPA and to instead switch to EDGE? Is it coming from the phone's radio or from the provider side (AT&T in my case). Asked another way, does changing the radio do more than just play between the balance of power consumption and signal strength (and instead also play a role in the aforementioned "decision-making")?

Thank you in advance for any help on this confusing issue!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
I think (and am definitely not an expert, but I think it's down to the base tower), maybe

Artesea will help us out here.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] E90 Commie:
I think one solution is to "sign" other radios. When I tried the 1.12 it flashed to 99% then RSA Failed. It seems to be a security check in the last moment and if that isn´t a success it says failed. The fact the device is stuck at the bootloader screen tells me the radio get´s flashed - and the stock radio isn´t restored (if it would be restored after a failed flash of another radio the X1 would be able to boot normally after that - i.e it would in theory say "RSA Failed, restoring radio rom - please wait). The Raphael radio 1.11 works on my device (even if the version isn´t updated) and that means the modification who enables flashing of it must be done to the 1.12. But a security unlocker is of course the best option when it´s ready.

On some way it must be possible to sign Raphael radios for the X1. I.e cheat the device to think the radio is a Xperia radio. Is there anything we can do to make the X1 believe a Raphael Radio is a X1 radio?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ianl8888:
Actually, the real restriction lies in purchasing a locked device - cheaper to buy, of course.

The 1.11.25.17 radio flashes OK to unlocked devices, as my earlier post noted.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] E90 Commie:
The question is: what exactly is this "security lock"?

On a Nokia device for example there´s two locks:

*Product code. Controls language pack - and branding. If you have a branded code the phone will only accept branded FW.

*Operator lock/SIM-lock. The classic lock.

On the X1 my impression is: Hard-SPL is the same as changing product code on a Nokia - i.e to flash other ROMs and debrand.

But the security lock on the X1 seems to be a lock designed to safeguard the device from "alien" radios and that sort of things. When I bought my X1 it was totally unbranded and according to information it´s not SIM-locked.

I just tried my X1 and yes, it´s NOT SIM-locked. So the security lock is more of a requirement to sign radios correctly. And it would be logical for Sony Ericsson if they locked other radios than their own.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
From what I understand (and I may have missed something):

There's several types of unlock that can be done on WM (and in particular HTC) devices.

Software unlock allows you to run "unsigned" programs (ie pretty much everything you install) (this is the sdk certs cab and is just a registry change)

HardSPL which does a CID unlock, which allows you to run firmware from the same device but different languages or custom roms (again it's down to signing).

Sim Unlock, pretty self evident.

Security Unlock, allows you to do various things to the msm750x chipset at an engineering level (which is why the development phones are "unlocked" it allows them to develop lowlevel stuff faster). For us it means being able to flash similar devices radios (such as the

raphael/diamond/blackstone et al) but I think there are other things that can be tinkered with that could potentially do serious damage, hence the reason for it being "locked"
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ianl8888:
I remember somewhere Olipro, I think, offering a SIM unlock service for the X1 but I can't find the link now.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
there's quite a few places you can get it.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
that's what the x301 x300 and the KOVS**** does, but obviously it doesn't work that well.

Other than those I've never found anything else for it.

If you can get SE to sign them with their development tools I guess it would work..

lol yeah right..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] E90 Commie:
Is there no offline certificates available for signing?

Another possibility is if it´s possible to extract the cert from a signed radio and apply it to an unsigned one.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] s_john8686:
where to get the 1.12.xx radio ? Can't seem to find any link to download ??
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] E90 Commie:
I have got the impression this is the 1.12 radio:

http://sharebee.com/5b46eef2

It was that radio I downloaded and tried. It´s posted three pages back in the thread (from this page).

Radio 1.11.25.71 UP

Tested and works like a charm, and since it is Xperia X1 original it does update the radio version

Added to the KOVSKY LIBRARY today

Thanks to FULGORE69 for extracting / cooking nb -> nbh

Have fun !!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] guap:
works very well :cool:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
1.11.25.71 isn't that what I posted a couple of weeks back?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3429484&postcount=165

or did you mean 1.11.25.76 .... B-)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
There was something amiss in the one I originally posted(1.11.25.76)...re-uploaded....should flash fine now.

WC
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
@Yes fards I can confirm it is 1.11.25.71

It updates the radio version and so it shows

Curiously enough, I tested yours and it didn't work (I was very busy with the icons stuff, dunno if it was my fault at all)

fulgore69 extracted it last week and asked me to test, and it worked OK so I posted it

I think he didn't notice your post too

@Wild Child:

I will take a chance on your new radio, let's see what happens now

Sorry for any confusion
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ianl8888:
Yes, it is.

I re-posted it #202 in this thread last week as well, along with a review of performance over about 10 days.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
@ WildChild:

Just tested your re-uploaded radio 1.11.25.76

Confirmed:

- flashed on security locked and unlocked phones, both OK

- correctly updates the radio version on both

Adding to the library right now

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fulgore69:
Glad to help to this forum...

And i must say that this radio works very good for GSM and have good gps reception too....Very fast for both too...

But i have not noticed many improvement in battery life yet...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ianl8888:
Flashed it earlier today over 1.11.25.71

GSM, GPRS, wifi, BT, 3G are OK, but I can't find much significance from 1.11.25.71

GPS is excellent - very fast TTFF after soft reset (5-7 seconds, with QuickGPS updated). HDOP 0.9m with 8-10 satellites, VDOP 1.0m. The DOP figures are checked against a known survey bench point. The battery on charge while under long load from GPS or wifi is still a problem - I'm expecting the replacement Mugen 1800mAH battery to turn up this week.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
have you tried itjes v4 rom. theres a battery test in windows thatll give you some decent test results inc temp and discharge etc...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ianl8888:
Yes, thanks mate, I know that - I'm intending to compare the standard battery issue with the 1800mAH product using the Itje ROM for both. I expect the Mugen this week ... if the HK post does what it says it will do :)

On the radio ROM's, the 1.11.25.xx series seems to have the GPS performance with this CPU really revved up. Even in poor atmospheric conditions a TTFF of 8-10 seconds is quite regularly achieved. I'm quite impressed with this.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
Yeah I'd agree with the gps, it's incredibly accurate and quick.

I found the battery life on the .71 a bit hungry, but the .76 with the new rom seems about on par with the 1.10 or maybe better, but it's still early days... took the x1 off charge last night at about 1am. had it on standby all night (with intermittent signal), about 3/4 hours worth of wifi this morning and an hours worth of gps and music through tf3d and it's just dropped to 70% as I took the headphones off.

76 seems very sensitive to signal changes. I lost and dropped a signal a few times yesterday whilst out. moved it a couple of degrees and it works fine..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tjex:
I just realized that Mugen has a 3600mAh Battery! That's almost twice the capacity of our regular batteries.

I'm going to try 1.12.25.16 and report back on the battery drain.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
How thick though?

offtopic did anyone see the reports on that new battery tech that's claiming some silly fast charge times..

http://www.gizmag.com/lithium-ion-battery-breakthrough-mit/11244/
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fulgore69:
Did you mean 1.11.25.76,if not...

Where did you get 1.12.25.16?

Thanks for reply
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
I think it's a touchpro radio.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ianl8888:
As Fards also notes, the 3600mAH battery is thicker than than the standard (the 1800mAH is the same as standard).

http://shop.eten.hu/advanced_search...Csid=90624bc76e78aa0607f33c46171d6f21&x=0&y=0

The 3600mAH reportedly comes with a replacement battery cover to accomodate the change in thickness. For me, it's too bulky.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fulgore69:
I agree with you maybe we have to wait a little bit until new batterys are release..I think a 2000 mAh would be nice...:)

But thats is another topic i think this is radio topic
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bengine:
Radio 1.11.25.76 is a battery hog!

I tried Radio 1.11.25.76 and found that it's eating my battery for breakfast!

I fully charged my X1 after I flashed the Radio the night before. Unfortunately the battery went from 100% to 60% in 5 hours. And this is under my normal usage. I had to go back to 1.10.25.18.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tjex:
Well,I"m happy to say that the 1.12.25.16 radio is good on both battery usage and the GPS. If the X1 ever gets unlocked, it would be good to have others test it. But as I previously said, most radios are pretty good as is, hard for me to really say that one is that much better than another
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sve1313:
I flashed the Radio 2 night before and I have not problems with battery. GPS, WiFi, bluetooth and phone is working very well. Battery status show me 70% or above. This radio is better from 1.10.25.18 for me.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] E90 Commie:
I´ve just flashed the newest .76 radio and it seems to give a lower battery consumption than the .71. I´m using Acb Power Meter to check it.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nik40:
can confirm from my 4day trial that 1.11.25.76 definitely consumes less battery than 1.10.25.18

GSM/UMTS Reception is on par or marginally better

Also agree with earlier posts on snappy GPS lock
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
It would be better to fully charge the battery *before* flashing the radio..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fulgore69:
I must say i tried both radio .76 and .71 and for me it is better .71 it consumes less battery than .76 and has better reception and clear sound during calls...Now i am testing the last raphael radio hex edit by my self...I mean the 1.12.25.19 it seems to be very good....Even for wi-fi it does not get hot any more...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
so do you have a security unlocked device?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] chalid:
Something to report from my experience:

X1 hast low reception here at my home. Its security locked, so I can't just flash other non-X1 radio roms the way its supposed to work. So I tried all available X1-radios. Flashing was fine and radio version updated. However, the reception didn't change much and I got plenty of dropped calls, or am not even able to dial out.

BUT with only changing the DIAM*** to KOVS*** in a diamond radio, the radio flashed fine (Radio V2) AND my reception improved significantly. The reception bar didn't get any better, but phone calls don't drop anymore. So even if the radio version is not updated on the device, I'm pretty sure it works.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
which one are you on now?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] chalid:
1.09.25.23 works best for me.

The interesting thing is - and I paid a lot attention to it - the reception bar doesn't really behave any different. The signal seems to be as good as with the xperia radios, but when it comes to making a phone call, the x1 radios drop the signal 7 out of 10 times, while the diamond radio works 9 out of 10 times. Flashed a few times to confirm I'm not imagining this and also tried the new x1 radios every time they where posted here - but in the end always went back to the 1.09.25.23 diamond radio.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
cheers

I might give it some more tries then, but on the other hand I've got used to how good gps is with the .76 X1 radio
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] chalid:
Well ... I was only playing around with the radios because the reception here at home is awful. Its not the xperia, its not the network (the same with any other network), its just the coverage in the building. I didn't pay any attention to the GPS fix or any other thing except the 3G and 2G reception. So don't bother if your reception is fine ... :-)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
nah its erm "variable" at best at home..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fulgore69:
I Think my xperia is security locked but the radio flashes ok but the radio version number does not change...So i guess it is locked....

I give the link to grtab so maybe he will update it later in his topic...

:)

Thanks fulgore 69, adding the link to the Kovsky Library

Has someone else tested this radio ??

@Chalid:

Curiously enough, that Diamond radio was the ONLY one not on-par for me:

I have great signal reception with ANY radio, EXCEPT that one !!! :confused: :p :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] eboy44:
fulgore what hex numbers did you change? i just flashed your radio and i didnt get the 262 error...i tried to hex edit this same radio myself earlier but it wouldnt flash to the device
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fulgore69:
Strange i got this error too first time because i change hex address 60 to 00...Like in the tutorial...And also to 00 the address 96

But then i changed the hex address 60 to 01 and woolaaaa it flash ok...

Maybe this address 60 has something to do with if your xperia is security locked or not....

Mine is security locked so i put the address 60 to 01..Sooo try maybe changing it to 00...

hope i helped:D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
yes you're right: the tutorial was written with a security unlocked phone, but soon many users realized radios were not flashing on security locked devices.

if you don't change 01 to 00 radios do flash, but the version doesn't update

if you change it, you can only flash it to a security unlocked phone, and the radio version does get updated

Changeing RAPH***** for KOVS***** is enough, but only xperia original radios update the version

I've tried to HEX compare xperia/ HTC radios but no luck to date, I think the difference is not in the nbh but in the CID lock, maybe...

will keep trying
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] chalid:
Well, might depend on the network I'm using. This version works best on the Diamond I have here too ... ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
Flashed the 1.12 raphael today and noticed fairly poor reception. sitting in my usual spot in the back garden ti struggled to get and hold a signal, where I'd normally get 2 bars of gprs.

Flashed the 1.09 Daimond from the library to test it and didn't hex check it first as I did it all on the x1.. Flash failed, so I hex edited it to 301 and it flashed. Signal is much more stable with me for this one. Much more stable than the x1 radios.

Alas spent most of PM at the local hospital so Ive not had a chance to check Gps, but battery life seems okay.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fulgore69:
Sorry but what do you mean of hex-edited the radio to 301?

Which hex address did you change???? from----to---?

I dont get it maybe a picture or more explaijn please?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
I posted a tutorial with pictures several posts back
