Guys, I am pulling my hair out with this, can anyone advise what to do??!

I cannot flash my X1 with a new ROM. I have followed the instructions to flash from SD card, the HardSPL worked fine and I went to the tri-colour screen to confirm this. I downloaded the ROM file from the link provided:

"Prepared ENGLISH ROM without Branding (link by OliNex):

http://rapidshare.com/files/163578806/ruu_signed.zip

Just extract and rename the file to Kovsimg.nbh"

I have Also tried 'GENERIC WWEnglish UK/SG/IN/ZA/PL/CZ/HU (1.03.931.8)' ROM from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=477801

I renamed the file and stuck it on my SD card (newly formated) when I hold down the volume and power button I get the following message:

"No Image File!"

I have tried this with an 8GB Transcend & 2GB SanDisk, I have tried to format using a USB reader I have, I have also set the phone to treat the card as a disk drive and formatted this way.

I then tried to PC method using the following program:

ftp://x1:x1@spikedsoftware.co.uk/Xpe...ateUtility.zip

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=477801)

And I get this error message:

"ERROR [208] : FILE OPEN"

:confused:

Pleeeeease help.

poor or simply "unlucky" cards needs more power to be read. In bootloader mode phone is in under-power mode not all flash can be read

that sounds electronically plausible and related to different type of devices, not sure if it's the real cause of this issue.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rumpelkammer:
Found out that You cant use a Micro SDHC for flashing. Only Micro SD.

Thats the only thing..

Worked for me too now.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
Try different micro SD cards, don't matter if they are SDHC or standad, don't matter if they are 512MB 1GB, 2GB, 4GB... or 16GB, just try a different card !!

If you see my first post here, some cards flash, some don't, even with the same format

Many cards come pre-formatted OK, so just test a couple of cards and find the right one, then label it: "this one flashes"

:D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Rebach:
Success!! I have downloaded the PC tool again and it worked straight away, I guess my first archive must have been corrupt or something.

Sometimes you just get a dud

I have been unalbe to SD Flash using my 2GB Sandisk no matter what I did, so been using USB method quite successfully.

Yesterday, I tried flashing Norti's v1.02 and was getting USB connection errors again and again :mad:

Just for the hell of it, as I did not have my second SD card on me, I copied all SDConfig data and .nbh file onto my 8GB Sandisk in my phone (without especially formatting it as loads of other data on it) and viola!

Ran like a charm, with all other data still on the card as well as the SDConfig file and cabs. :D

We may be underestimating the imperceptible flaws of some cards. Work in someways and not others.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Paschinski:
Same here with my 2 GB Kingston, it just won't work.

Now I'm trying with a 8GB SDHC no-name... wish me luck!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Paschinski:
I can't believe it! It works!

So it's definatly a matter of MicroSD cards!!!

This should be mentioned lot more around here, because people keep using hardspl even though they don't have to when flashing a new generic rom!

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] pansen222:
using 8gb sandisk. and i couldnt flashat all. i was able to flash hard-spl at first try but then i couldn flash any rom. neither from sd card nor from ruu. after a while i tested to flash via sd card and it worked. luckily, cause the next try didnt. i tried everything like just copy the file to sd card with all the other stuff still on or erasing it all or completely formating. sometimes i could flash, sometime i couldnt. i couldnt see any pattern. then, weeks later i used ruu and it worked every time i wanna flash.since i have windows 7 and dont wanne mess up my phone with the new active sync client i tried once again the sd card method and, guess what, now it works every time perfectly. dont get it.

i think its something on the phone that blocks. maybe there is default software on the phone for the sd controller that is messed up...

Hi Guys,

I am using 16G Kingston Micro SD card and the rom does not flash. I have used 4G Sandisk card earlier to flash ROM and it worked successfully.

I guess its genuinely a problem with Kingston cards. Will try with another Sandisk card sometime and post the result
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
please share your results
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] pansen222:
as posted earlier im using a 8gb sandisk card and flash a lot with it. yesterday when rota relesedhis new rom i tried to flash it via sd card method but it didnt work. what i have noticed, every rom i flashed via sd card had 177mb or lower. rotas rom is way over 200mb. maybe its something about the filesize in combination with the cluster size of the card

the iphone switches the screen off when it goes to your head then turns back on when u take it away. is there a simple app for this??
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] pmow:
Phone lacks the proximity sensor the iPhone has. Fortunately, it has a plethora of other useful features (a keyboard, picture messages, etc.)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DrzNight:
To add on to that the phone also goes to sleep when the call is connected and its just a matter of pressing the power button to get it to wake up again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] aonavy:
mine doesnt:mad:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] jok3sta:
Well mine has always went black when it goes up to my ear, but it would be nice if it came back on when removed from my ear.. although we dont have a proximity sensor, i dont see why it coulnt work with the gsensor/accelerometer. all it would have to do is go on when the phone is put back in the upright position
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] aonavy:
is there a setting for this?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] vader165:
is it possible to in fact use the light sensor? it obviously recognizes something when it turns off, maybe write up something saying "when dark below 'x' threshold, turn off screen. when bright above threshold, screen on. you would have to press the screen somewhat snugly to your face, but it sure beats nothing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Kraize:
It should be possible, but no one has done anything with the light sensor of turning it back on. I'm thinking that the polling of the light sensor turns off when the screen is in standby. If we can somehow get that to work in only incall (so it doesn't have battery issues), then it should work, when it goes from little light to more light, it should act as close to phone to far away from phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Der_wahre_Phi:
One could even use 2 sensors for it? Maybe the Light-Sensor and the G-Sensor. So when u bring the phone to your ear the light gets dark an the position upright. (the phone turns the screen off) And as soon as it get brighter and the position is change to normal (whatever that is ;) ) it turns back on.

I reall would love to write something like that. But so far i have no clue of writing anything for that phone. Does anyone know a tutorial for writing software for a pda? ;)

Thx
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] iamedelmann:
Come on guys this would be soooo great
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Nate731:
It doesn't actually do that when you put it up to your ear. It's a WinMo setting to put the phone in standby after a call is launched or received. What you preceive as behavior is actually a timing thing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Xue v.2:
The guy from pocket shield managed to combine these two sensors, g-sensor and light sensor, to work together as locking/unlocking behavior.

maybe some g-sensor and lumos code can handle this thing... and create one cab solution here...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] tazz0710:
if some one could write this code it would be an AWESOME addition to the Phone. I would personaly love this as im sure many others would.

[General Questions and Answers] 02mca31:
Hello friends,

First off, please check below code. Well, I am developing printing functionality from the windows mobile device using vc++. (I am novice to the vc++ ). For printing, we are using third party DLLs. Below are important snippet required to explain the complete picture. Currently, the problem I am more concerning is printing multiple pages. For this, we have API and everything. While printing using “mpPreviewDialog” API (provided by third party in form of DLL) and when it recognize more than one pages required, it raises/passes “MP_EVENT_REQ_NEW_PAGE” message from printing library, ie mpPreviewDialog itself, to the handle hWnd of “mpPreviewDialog(hWnd,__)”. Now, to handle this message, we have put all logic portion in one class which is inherited from CWnd so that we can override “DefWindowProc” function to achieve our goal. But while I run the application and command print for multiple page, it only prints the first page perfectly and then just get hanged. Thus, it fails to handle the “MP_EVENT_REQ_NEW_PAGE” message of “DefWindowProc” function. What all I need is to handle this message and execute the case MP_EVENT_REQ_NEW_PAGE: while printing and multiple page required. Because in this case it issues the message but appropriate case never get executed. I hope you got my point. Please let me know how to solve this. Am I missing something? Thank you very much for your time in advance.

class CFxPrinterWnd : public CWnd

{

DECLARE_DYNCREATE(CFxPrinterWnd)

public:

CFxPrinterWnd(); // protected constructor used by dynamic creation

virtual ~CFxPrinterWnd();

public:

#ifdef _DEBUG

virtual void AssertValid() const;

#ifndef _WIN32_WCE

virtual void Dump(CDumpContext& dc) const;

#endif

#endif

protected:

DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()

public:

int PrintReport(HWND hwnd, int flg);

protected:

virtual LRESULT DefWindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);

};

Int CFxPrinterWnd::PrintReport (HWND hWnd, int flg)

{

_______

This contains “mpPreviewDialog” API call which starts printing and issue “MP_EVENT_REQ_NEW_PAGE” message if more than one page required.

}

LRESULT CFxPrinterWnd::DefWindowProc(___,___,___)

{

Switch (message)

{

___

Case MP_EVENT_REQ_NEW_PAGE: //This debug point never get focused while printing and new page required.

hWnd = ::FindWindow(NULL, _T(“del”));

CFxPrinterWnd wnd;

___

mpPreviewDialog (hWnd____); //This is the printing API where MP_EVENT_REQ_NEW_PAGE message get raised while printing if new page

}

Help! This is driving me nuts! I've searched the threads and can't find the answer.

I've downloaded and installed the SPB Mobile Shell Panel from Sony but there's no sign of it on my Xperia as a Panel.

What I do have is an executable called Mobileshell in the Program Files which runs all the SPB functionality.

WHAT is going on with this??

Thanks for the help and apologies if I'm being unbelievably stupid!! :-)

Go to panels --> settings and add your new SPB panel to an empty slot

If you dont have an empty slot, change an existing panel for the SPB panel

However, after re-installing it's there now. D'Oh!!

Other than the standard Kitchen / ROM and carrier files for Verizon, is there anything else I'll need to keep in mind before going ahead with the swap?

Also, since the P4000 will be roaming on Telus when I do the swap, is that likely to cause issues when I swap it over?

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] GlOcKoMa75:
Lol.. One of the secret Herald/Wing mysteries...

I've had my Wing for a couple of months now and am also struggling with Wifi problems... Specifically, my Wing won't connect to my home wifi network (Belkin G).. This is regardless of security, encryption or the network being visible/hidden.. I've scanned the Net... In all cases, it sees my network, goes to connect and fails (no error message given.)

In one case, after a recent ROM change, my Wing couldn't even initialize the wifi at all.. A hard reset fixed that...

Regardless, My main concern (from reading the posts here) was my Wing was one of many devices with a BAD wifi.. Since I bought it used, I would be screwed... SOOO I was able to logon to a public wifi and it worked just fine..

I'm guessing if you provide some detailed information about your device, the pros will probably be more likely to pipe up..? :D

Here's just an example:

HTC Wing or Herald?

Have you modified your ROM?

How is your home wifi setup? Visible/hidden, encryption (if so, what type?)

Again, just a suggestion.. As you'll see I'm a 'junior member' so.. Also, hopefully its ok to post a reply though its in the wrong section? :eek:

Hi.

I've used 4-5 GPS apps and I couldn't find option to set a sound (in my case beeping sound) when I gain vertical speed. I wanna use my tilt like a paragliding variometer cause i can't look at the phone and enjoy the view :).

So is there app that have that option or could you make one plz.

You can search on youtube to see how variometer works.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Flying Kiwi:
The TyTN II is missing the hardware required

Firstly welcome to XDA-DEV arminf! I know exactly what you're after but the HTC TyTN II (and consequently also the Tilt) isn't equipped with enough hardware to be able to do that. There's no Barometric capsule to sense changes in air pressure and no accelerometer so it's no can do using just the phone. Interestingly the Tomtom Navigator version that came with my TyTN II has a setting for which units pressure is to be displayed in (but it has no way of getting that info). Maybe with future products if you let HTC know you'd like this capability included, they may listen (oh, and don't forget to ask for complete driver support while you're at it :rolleyes:). The Touch Pro has an accelerometer but I don't know if it's capable of sensing acceleration in the right plane and whether it can be harnessed using software for this specific purpose.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] dancj:
Surely it should be doable. GPS gives your 3d position, so all software has to do is give compare the positions and times of two subsequent positions to work out the vertical speed.

It should be quite simple for someone who actually has a clue how to program for Windows Mobile
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] arminf:
Thanks

Wow you are really into variometers :), and i know that Tilt doesn't have Barometric capsule, but I was trying to improvise with GPS. So i just need that beeping sound on some GPS app when I'm going up :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] alt236:
Keep in ming though that the GPS inside the TILT uses a perfect sphere model for the planet (AFAIR). So it is possible that you will get a number of false posities/negatives on an extremely uneven terrain...

But yes, in principle it should work.
