I've a T-Mobile Xperia X1 and tried everything to flash it, but it keeps showing me the HardSPL 262 error and is stuck on loading through MicroSD flash. I really have to get rid of the T-Mobile ROM!

I'm looking for the X1i_GENERIC_NL_CDF1215-3311_R1AA017 ROM. Could someone give a link to the file or upload it?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] itje:
thx for the uploads

well thats the first time I've ever had an official rom image fail at 10% the x1 recovery screens in the RUU are quite nice..

serves me right for going off the laptop, just finishing flashing off SD.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Medulla_Oblongata:
Hello everyone,

I have been coming back to this thread for a couple of times now and I'm thinking of flashing my X1i. Perhaps this has already been asked & answered before, but I was unable to find an answer: how can I be sure I have the correct ROM? My current one is a GENERIC_NL and I really want a GENERIC_UK ROM, because I prefer English :p and I seem to be missing the handwriting recognition feature (and maybe more?)

Anyway, this is the information my mobile gives me:

[ Version ]

ROM version: 1.03.937.6

ROM date: 12/9/08

Radioversion: 1.10.25.18

Protocolversion: 52.56.25.29U

some extension version: 1.0.31555.11424

[ Info ]

Software-id: 1213-6448

Sodtwareversion: R2AA006

some change id: 1215-3311

some change version: R9A

some adjustment variant: GENERIC_NL

some data version: PA10

Beware of the italic text. I had to translate it from Dutch to English and I'm unsure what the exact English text would be on an English Windows Mobile

I'd really appreciate it if someone could push me into the right direction and tell me which (newest) GENERIC_UK ROM I can install without fearing of bricking my new phone!

edit: I've read something about an R3 version that may be released (soon?). Is that possible and if so, when will it be released?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dogans:
You have NL version of R2AA006, and there is a newer UK rom, called "X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_R2AA010 - uploaded".

I guess you could use that if you really want it in english.

There is no news about the R3 rom, but some people say that it'll be released in april.. so, soon hopefully.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Medulla_Oblongata:
@dogans: Thanks for the quick reply.

Knowing which ROM I need makes me much happier man! My battery needs recharging so I'll try installing the ROM tomorrow morning.

I take it that the newer ROM includes handwriting recognition and Office Mobile? Like my current one does.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dogans:
Since it's an official ROM, yes, it should have the same stuff as your current.

Good luck :)

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Medulla_Oblongata:

Hi,

I`ve got the Xperia with generic german and i want to install the UK one(i downloaded it from the link you gave).The thing is that when i switch the phone on ,holding the minus and power button ,the lines appear,than says "loading" and then-"no image file" and it stops!what did i do wrong?pls help!

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ncuxuka:
I am putting the Kovsimg file on the card,but via the phone (i don`t have a compatible card reader for the card),....i`ve tried with 2 versions of the generic UK so far and they both say the same "no image file" .the other thing is that when i ran the hardSpl the porgamm said 10 minutes but is was done in like 2-3 -seemed a bit strange to me
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] anbotta:
Hi all,

is there a link where is possible to download an updated rom for X1 in italian ?

latest version is R2A or R3A ?

i have installed a 6.5 rom but i don't like it and i want to re-install original rom.

thanks to everybody
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] F-Styla:
Did you extract the exe data before to get the image file?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Medulla_Oblongata:
Like F-Styla asked: did you extract the .exe file before putting it on the SD card?

The HardSPL program was finished in like 3 minutes for me as well, this is nothing to worry about, as long as the program finishes automatically and without interruption.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zagito:
Hard SPL or not?

Hi I want to go from Generic_DE to Generic_AT. Do I need to HardSPL or is it working as normal with the mSD method? I'm just not sure...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Medulla_Oblongata:
Hmm, in that case ... the last possible reason I can think of is: the SD card is not formatted as FAT32.

Plug your X1 in your computer and look at the Storage Card properties, look at the "File system" and see what it says.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ncuxuka:
well thanks....but it is Fat32 formatted.....i have no idea ;/ what the hell am i doing wrong....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Medulla_Oblongata:
Hmm I was hoping for you that the SD card wasn't FAT32 formatted because that can be easily fixed. There must be a vital step you're missing, which I kinda doubt, but it is still possible. Everything has a reason :p

I'm not sure which of the (many!) tutorials you're following, but I used this one myself: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=446070

May be know, when new release Russian Rom for X1?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] 2zani:
Going to flash soon but I really dont know what my original rom is if I want to get it back. My firmware is RIAA017 I found the firmwares on the pages but how do I found my firmare? no one is from Sweden, can I take like from the uk or what should I do? Please explain for a little noob!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fulgore69:
Maybe read this thread before flashing....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=462926

And BTW

And advice to know the exact rom you have is to look in configuration/System/Device Information

And look for Rom version...Something like this 1.03.947.15

That one is the right number to search for in Pavels Thread inside the rapidshare account...And so write the hole name and searched

for similar but named like R2AA***

anyone have the same problem?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mongkee:
Flashed my X1i GENERIC_UK ROM from R2AA008 to R2AA010 without any problems. Aesthetically, no difference between the two versions but there is noticable improvement in performance (faster opening apps and boot time)

Just remember to press the Reset button (back of the X1, right side, round hole where the stylus is held, press it with the stylus also) after it says "Update Successful" because I think this is where some users have promblems after flasing thier X1's as they just remove the battery after the flashing process (just my opinion, not totally sure)

Looking forward to the R3 ROM version...

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] guebert:
Do you sync with more than one PC? The R2AA SW has still the "86000107" bug (see http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobile/thread/d2f0b39a-14e9-4e0e-ac50-ae5cd8fa5201). Maybe R3AA contains AKU 1.3 and therefore this bug is fixed.

Does anybody know, how to read the information above and check which AKU is included?

hi all,

last week i flashed my sony ericsson x1 (sd card method) with a generic rom (X1i_GENERIC_AT_CDF1215-3299_R2AA009).

yesterday and today i wanted to update the x1 with the r3aa update and started the sony ericsson update service, i exactly followed the steps described but when i connect my x1 to the usb, update service doesnt recognize the x1 :(

in the moment i connect the x1, i also hear "the windows sound for usb device connected", and there are usually no problem with mobile device center to sync.

i made a hard reset, reflashed the old rom over sd card, but update service doesn't work.

any hints what else i could try ?

thx
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] johnhoston:
have you done hard_spl on the device before?

because the update service works only with the original spl
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] wolfh:
after entering the boot/flash screen it says:

KOVS110

SPL-0.72.0000

MicroP1-787

MicroP2-707
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fulgore69:
That is not true i have hard-spl olinex and not problem at all updating with SEUS and i have done it my self more than 2 times with difffernt ROMs just to try it...

Seus dont detect the hard-spl or it does not matter at all....

And after flash it conserves the hard-spl olinex

Trust me....

And by the way i have flash the germany R3AA roms and it is like the R2AA015 LAM rom not difference at all only language....

I do not know why sonyericsson named it New R3AA...Only new i sow is the radio 1.14.25.55 same as LAM R2AA015...

And some other OEM operators ID added...But not new panel or panel manager or camera or xtrakt or else what a dissapoinmt update.....

I was hoping more from sonyericcson...So sad..

Hope LAM R3AA make a difference...

Pavel where are you to give us some light?

But why did the version numbers change?

ROM-Version 1.05.932.7

Ext-Product-Version: 1.0.11809.7229

And what does these numbers tell us about the WM version? (6.1 AKU x.y?)

If AKU >= 1.3. is included, the well known ActiveSync 86000107 bug should have been fixed.

Unfortunately the austrian/german helpdesk won't tell anything about this. Does anybody have a better connection to an SE supporter and can ask this?

yh not sure why this has happened, maybe they updated the details on the old rom by mistake (wrong rom sent out) but its no way the r3 rom as they would not have removed all the extra stuff and just made it run smoother (if it does run smoother, i have not tested as im in the uk).

sorry for asking this question, i think some other people also asked this question a lot of thime but i don't have time to read all the pages, hopefully you can help me.

I have a black xperia from Sweden, 3 stores. I have some crack on the phone so i want to send it to the warranty. but the problem is i changed the language form swedish to english by using a UK ROM from this topics first page. Should i change the rom back to the Swedish version for warranty or is it ok like this?

if i have to change, where can i find a rom for my xperia Sweden 3 stores? or does just a swedish rom is enough?

R2AA008 still offered through SEUS in NAM as the latest software.

SEUS UI is different and update was loaded when launched.

Maybe Monday will be the day for unbranded to coincide with WM6.5 event.

Probably wishful thinking but might as well dream big.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] the_black_dragon:
cant you do it like with SEUS?

connect X1, start download and during download disconnect it before start flashing.... seus will continue downloading until its finished and the rom will stay in cache..... ive tested it also one time and on next update he has not downloaded again and started to flash immediatly
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
yes I think so...

what build does it say start.settings.system.about
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] guebert:
So I'll disconnect the X1 immediately after download has started, right?

Where will I find the ROM-file?
