as this is de generic ROM version the R3AA0013 is the vodafone branded one.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lokatho:
Nothing wrong, just rename *.image to*.nbh
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] my00rs:
Thank you very much, I found it and I found another one <Generic Taiwan R3AA013 Software Update>, so I think I will use the newest one instead too.

Don't worry it is an rar or zip autoextraible archive, but when extracted it will

*.image, then just rename it to KOVSIMG.nbh to use microSD method...

Thats all...Hope this help:)

itje reporting hands-on winmo 6.5 upgrade for X1.

I'm skeptical by nature.

Any confirmation, Pavel?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] augie7107:
No official 6.5 released yet.

If you want it you need to flash custom ROM. Read tutorial found in sticky threads at the top of ROM development page for X1.

You are running R1 and two updates have been released since then.

You can download SEUS and update the device to R3 through USB connection.

Since you have UK ROM it will update automatically in english due to region code.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Wearwolf:
Now what i'm about to say and ask might either have been mentioned elsewhere in this forum; but i'm not sure if the Admin determine's if it's relevant or not. So here I go with the questiong

What is Windows Mobile 6.5?

Issit a service pack upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5 like SP2/SP3 was to Windows XP?

Or issit like Windows ME is to Windows 9x?

*(Or you could say Win 7 is to Win Vista)

*(Anybody got a better analogy?)

Let's be frank here; we could go on and on ranting about why the X1 (or any other WinMo 6.1) should/shouldn't qualify for the upgrade. And we'll always be asking Pavel if there's any new 6.5 ROM's out there for the X1

But seriously; can somebody truly answer me what is WinMO 6.5? I'm already tired searching/reading about the new WinMo O/S everywhere; but nobody can/could say for sure if its a Service Pack or a whole new OS.

And if WinMo 6.5 was a service pack; shouldnt we ALL be qualified to get it via the built-in Windows Update service instead of a ROM? I mean; isnt that what that feature/function is for in the first place? Other than a snazzier interface & improved stability/usability; what other functions are there from the .4 variance? It's still a MS WinMo O/S in my phone that's NOT being patched/SP-ed weekly since i've got it. I mean; is this a new SP i should be getting? And does SonyEricsson / HTC even need to pay a cent for this!?

But if it's supposed to be a whole new OS; then why label it number 6.5 when you coulda gone straight to 7....

Well.. there's my 2-cents rant and rave.. [awaiting firing squad]

@ADMINISTRATORs/Moderators - you're welcome to shoot me about this. Point me where this topic shoulda gone....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nicromant:
Windows Mobile 6.5 it is a new operating system

as if 6.1 was Windows XP SP3 and now this new version can be related to vista

and the new upcoming Windows Mobile 7 will be absolutely related to Windows 7 for desktop

I suggest you read about it on the wiki or google and review other users experience and tutorials before trying to do anything by yourself as you can end up with a brick

how to update my sony ericson to wm 6.5? Now is wm 6.1. can someone help?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] augie7107:
R3AA is the last one and there is no news about a next one.

SE has said there will not be a next one.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] augie7107:
Custom ROM only.

Check the sticky threads for instructions on how to flash.

SE has stated there will be no 6.5 upgrade for X1.

I use ROM's from here:

thanks

plz help

i updateing x1 by seus

cannot to install because 44% install stoped

plzzzzzzzzz help:(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] augie7107:
Sounds like a battery issue.

You need a full charge before flashing.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] augie7107:
What method are you using, your own file or SEUS?

SEUS only works with stock SPL.

Your own copy of the stock ROM only will work with Hard SPL.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] anbotta:
i downloaded original rom from links in first page of this thread
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] augie7107:
You should be able to flash the original exactly the way you flashed the custom's.

Make sure you have Hardspl on your device.

thank you !!!!

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] kentorwow:
same thing here :\ microsd doesn't work either

uhhhh i have hardspl then i open the x1_hardspl.exe and then it generates some files. then i replace the RUU_Signed.nbh with the image that i downloaded in the front page (renamed to RUU_Signed.nbh) and then clicked next and stuff. then it doesn't work

hmm it says current rom version is 1.02 even after hardspl?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] augie7107:
I've never used SD method.

PC method uses RUU (Rom Update Utility).

I never touch Hardspl.exe, the RUU automatically flashes the device.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] kentorwow:
i don't get it. why are some people saying use hardspl and some saying you don't need hardspl
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fulgore69:
The answer is:

----If you flash custom rom you NEED hard-spl...

-------BUT if you flash sonyericsson original rom (image, like the ones uploaded by pavel) it includes spl, and thats why it does NOT need hard-spl..

First time poster here guys.

Read most of this thread but I am still confused on way to flash my X1a.

I have a Rogers branded X1a but I want to install the generic NAM original firmware.

Do I use the microsd way by renaming the .image file or can I use SEUS?

If I can use SEUS, is there a way for me to tell it to install the generic file instead of reinstalling the Rogers branded one?

Problems in rom R3xxxxxx

I am new guy,

(sorry if my english is not so good)

I want to ask if in Rom R3xxxxx got a problems?

I cannot send mms after upgrade to Rom Generic UK R3xxxxx, but internet and 3g video call work with no problem. Only mms cannot be sent. It says " Could not connect to internet setting for unknown reason ............. if problem occur, please reset the phone according to manufacture setting " (or something like that). Please, if some one can help with this problem?

When I change to another phone with the same sim card, I can send the mms. So I chenge another sim card into my X1, and still the same problem happen again, cannot send mms.

I already check the setting, although x1 has auto connection setting itself but still got no way out.

So... is it Software problem or hardware problem?

Thanks.

Which version?

Greetings, everyone. Please forgive what is I am sure a very ignorant question. I need to update the firmware on my X1, but - which version should I choose?

1) Although I am multilingual, I would prefer the software, interface, etc. to remain in English.

2) I am using the phone with a Simyo SIM, based in Spain

3) The phone itself came originally from Scandinavia, so has the Scandinavian keyboard.

My first guess would be to download the Spain generic firmware, but I don't want to have a compatibility issue with the keyboard or the language setting.

Thank you for your help.

whan will we have 6.5 original roms?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] augie7107:
There will be no official update to 6.5 for X1.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] FireBird4:
I don't think you can use SEUS. The microSD method is very easy and foolproof. Remember to hardSPL if you're installing a non-stock ROM. Other than that, just take the ROM you want, rename to kovsimg.nbh and you're laughing.

This is a settings issue. Go into SMS then press menu in the bottom left. Choose MMS Options > Servers, select the server. Under drop box "Connect via:" choose the "[your mobile network] internet" option.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Mopral:
1- Run the .exe file on your computer, it should give you a XXXXXX.image file

2- Rename this XXXXXX.image file to Kovsimg.nbh if you want to flash with SDcard method or to RUU_signed.nbh if you want to flash with customRUU

3- Flash your phone
