Just did a binary comparison of the previous leaked uk-r3a and the current one.

They are identical.

G:\Setup\Mobile\ROMs\X1>fc /b APP-SW_X1_GENERIC_UK_1213-6450_R3AA010__KOVS.nbh APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R3AA010.image

Comparing files APP-SW_X1_GENERIC_UK_1213-6450_R3AA010__KOVS.nbh and APP_SW_X1I_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R3AA010.IMAGE

I am new user for X1.Someone tell me!!!

Now i hard spl and update lastest radio firmware. If i want to flash R3A original rom i can flash promptly or i will sspl before flash R3A rom.

Thank you
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] yptan62:
IMO, they are both the same.

Just that one is earlier released version and other is official release.

use the official version will be safer.

I tested myself using 2 units of xperia phones.

The official version when strolling up & down is smoother but there is slight lagg when open file compare to the earlier version.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
Teeh:

No spl or anything need to be done when flashing via SEUS or using one of the files from here that are "Official"(!).

yptan62:

Its a fact, those are the SAME file. If the rom date is the same.... what does that mean??? SAME!

The fact that they are released at different times is only a subjective SE decision! This files is on EMMA when it is and only the point in time when available via SEUS is set by SE.

So yes, there is NO difference in how those behave. There is NO lagging with this or that version. If there is lagging, then it is with both versions! Check your phones hardware for malfunctions... ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Teeh:
Thank You for answer me. But i mean before flash original rom i flash the lastest radio firmware (it need to hard spl before flash radio) so when i will flash original rom i will make sspl or none. Thank you

This is an Australian ROM content.

I think SE update looks at the Internet on SE server for update.

I mean what do i have to do to install the Rom update this topic is going about.

I've downloaded the Dutch version and that's an .exe file

If i try to start it on my PC or SE it's not working

So please can someone tells me what to do.

Thanks a lot
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Geezay:
My advice to you would be to run a search in the forums - there are several threads explaining how to install these ROMS. Otherwise, just use Sony Ericsson Update Service - it may be your safest bet.:D

And what is the symptoms? What is the error message?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] yessird:
I'm kind of disappointed by sony ericsson, people telling rumours abt the R3 update to be the last one is a crap thing to hear..

If you're rolling with the R2 version, which is working slow as well (imo),

i think the developpers disappointed everyone.

If there's no difference with the R2 version from the R3 why did they even released it? Guess to satisfy the people that don't give a **** abt the true changes (which might be alot of people since it is an business-orientated phone i guess?).

Think I'll be looking forward for the Windows 6.5, hope that will be a large improvement

All the major sites wrote about this R3A and all of them has the source from Coolsmartphones blog which is shame... R3A is a step back for the X1, I hope that SE will release another firmware with WM6.1 or at least WM6.1 the new things found in the leaked R3 ROM.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cozmoc:
ROM version check method:

turn on X1>Start menu>Settings>System>Device Information icon>Customer info>And you can read it. Like R2AA011 and GENERIC_AUS

That is all!

ETC: How can I find diference between R2AA011 GENERIC_AUS and R2AA011 GENERIC_UK roms? I know fhe first is Australian English and second is British English. But what are the other deferences?

If your provider is T-Mobile, there is a R3AA013 update available.

Possible fix for this install...

I had a problem installing it too. To be sure that everything works I used a 1 gb (Nokia OEM)microSD, formated in fat32, and transferred KOVSIMG.bnh to it but it wouldn't work with any rom. Then I used the kingston 8gb hc microSD (the one I usually use for my X1) and without formatting it worked just fine. So seems like the probem was in the 1gb card, I think that because it was from Nokia no matter how I formated it had something on it that would prevent my phone from reading .nbh image. I tried using the Kingston mSD for this and PureRom 6.5 and it worked fine.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
Question YOU should ask YOURSELF: do you want to stay generic and free or branded and vodafoned? Simple one should think.... why did you rebrand in the first place??? And that the files is called 13 instead of 10 is only because it came out after the 10...! Of course minor branding issues in/excluded ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] guebert:
Are you sure? There exists two R3AA for Austria from the same provider Mobilkom: 007 and 013 - Why should they publish two ROMs with different numbers, if the number tells nothing about the content?

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] KrisiaMae:
That is a bit tricky guebert. I wish someone could explain this.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
You are talking about Operator Settings and perhaps Compatibility Issues! One could presume that the Generic_UK or Generic_whatever will always be intercompatible and on the same level if not advanced then a specific operator flash.

Imagine the Australians i.e., they need their phones to work perfectly in AUSTRALIA! Of course they will work around the world but the operator settings are primarily for Australia (in that example!). So if there is any other generic out with even a higher number (at the end!) if you are in Australia, I would recommend you use that version rather. I personally would probably not because I am adventurous and read most of this forum ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] FireBird4:
Even the Brazilian one? Will my phone end up in Portuguese? Or should I use the UK generic, which is for the X1i, and hope for the best?

OK I'll take that under advisement, but I still want to know if there would be any difference in functionality between an X1i ROM and an X1a ROM.

Hard_SPL'd my phone but unfortunately I have to work so can't flash any friggin awesome ROMs yet.

Intersting. Last time I checked they spoke Protugese in Brazil. So why would those phones have a different language there? Anybody clarify this in Brazil?!?

To find the differences uk and us, just read through this forum and you find a lot! Basically the US doesnt offer Video Call natively, the video recording is only in 24frames and only in qvga - compared to uk version which has 30 frames and vga!

And of course, the specific internal settings are perhaps fine tuned to US operators specs if its a NAM version ;)

Newbie to X1

Hi there!

I am very new to the X1 (just bought it for a week) and am exploring its magics! I have some questions to ask for help:

1) My current ROM version is 1.03.206.12. When I tried to Hard-SPL my phone, the Hard-SPL version I used (X1_HardSPL_V1) asked me to "update" the ROM from 1.03.206.12 to 1.00.X1 --> it seems that the Hard-SPL version I used was outdated.

Can any one confirm this? If yes, please help with the more updated Hard-SPL version so that I can update my ROM properly.

2) It seems that my current firmware is X1i_O2_UK_CDF1215-3293_R2AA012 (btw, is firmware different to ROM?). What can I do to update to the newest firmware now? A handy advice guiding thru the processes will be much appreciated (I am IT/technical blinded indeed :D).

Cheers!

First Welcomne to the most x1 great forum

1)Do you know what is hard-spl? And for what it is used?If not read more... All in the forum

By the way hope you solved if not you ask me direct in pm... :cool:

Rom Update

I tried to update the newest Version of rom to my phone. Generic UK Version 3AA.

I followed the instructions in flashing the rom. I had previously installed the Hard SPL. I just continued from renaming the file to Kovsimg.nbh and restarted into the tri color screen.

When I got there, it says there is no image file there. What am I doing wrong? I put the file into the root directory as it told me to do. I had download the lates version Rom to install.

I tried to find the (RUU) update utility, but I wasn't able to download it.

Can anyone help?????:confused::confused::eek:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Nimche:
Format your card for FAT32.

Dump the Kovsimg.nbh file in it and then

turn off the phone. Remove the battery and put it back in and

hold volume down and power botton.

After the color strip screen release and follow the instruction.

I hope this helps

EDIT:

For some reason, I can't flash my device either. It doesn't find the file. Error message accross the top as 00068002

Edit II:

I guess the file is corrupted because I can flash an older release of the UK version just before it become official on my X1 without any problem.

Could someone double check this please?

Hi everyone i am kinda new to this page. I am in the army in South Korea, anyways this phone is out over here and I bought it a few weeks ago. I have flashed it with a few ROMS from here how ever the SMS does not work with the Korea model phone I think that SK Telecom which is the provider uses its own SMS client. Is there someone that can extract this program from the Korean ROM and cook it into an English version ROM so that I can use R3AA Roms which is supposed to give you better signal on the phone. The phone signal is soooo bad on the Korea model. Really I am willing to pay if someone could just extract that SMS client from the KOREAN rom and cook into an english rom someone please take a look at it and let me know what you find. this is what i am using right now SKTELCOM_KR_CDF1222-0580 (1.04.911.26) R2BA026 thank you

I had already tried that. But that is the problem. I had already followed the instuctions. Just as you had listed.

Yet it did go into the Tri Color screen, and it says "No Image File".

What do I do now???
