I know what you mean... like that too. But, it mostly does not. HOWEVER, this might be because I have also BlueMusic installed which changes some settings and I think installs also a different or 'enhanced' bluetooth driver. But I need that cause I want to be able to hear music over mono bluetooth!

So I "think" that I remember prior the bluemusic install the caller was announced in the headset.

If I have the setting that announcements go through the phone and wired headset only (NOT through bluetooth) then the name is definately announced via phone prior ring.

Hope that helps.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Anant:
OK here goes my experience.

I tried original ROM from SE UK or US version did not made a difference along with the cooked ROM including 6.5 available here.

I also tried MSVC 1.6.19965 and 1.6.19971. I didnot install any other applications other than those came in the ROM.

In all the scenerio, the caller name was not announced using blue tooth or wired heat or though the device speaker.

The latest version of MSVC I have got is 1.6.21040

In this the caller name was announced correctly. But it then did not announced the ring tone.

Any ideas what went wroung or what should I do?

Thanks for your experiences sharing
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
How many MBs does this version have? Because I see the first 2 versions have over 4MB and that last one only 2.xMB

So perhaps some files are missing there//???
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Radio Saturn:
Now I have GENERIC_DE R3AA… ;)

What have I done?

I’ve installed StockSPL (not HardSPL) and flashed GENERIC_DE R2A (Old one) per Bootloader from Card (renamed to: kovsimg.nbh) …

… Then I started SEUS (original SonyEriccsonUpdateService) and the new GENERIC_DE R3AA will install fine ;)

greets Radio Saturn
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] lamtung:
This should be the answer to the question I was just about to post :) I am having an Generic_AT R2A ROM and wanted to update to the new R3A using SEUS but SEUS doesn't seem to recognize my device. I might be that I did the HardSPL before, so now all I have to do is to install StockSPL, am I right ?

How about the performance of the new ROM, I've heard that it doesn't worth the upgrade :confused:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] SGN_DK:
Do you need to HardSPL before installing the R3A?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] williyung:
No need.....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zxcvcxz:
Hi,

I'm brand new here, so, please excuse the ignorance.

I've been looking around and around and getting real confused over this problem I'm having with the update service. It gets to where it's "checking connected phone" and simply hangs forever and ever.

Could someone point me in a helpful direction?

Also, I've noticed that my current software is generic UK R2AA010. I'm in the US and I understand that I should be looking for a NAM version (?) Is this correct?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

is it possible to flash without sd? i dont have one here right now
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] doministry:
So is upgrading firmware of X1 a standard SE process,

I mean you connect X1 to SEUS with USB and follow instructions?

What do you mean by flashing from SD?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ariankey:
seus doesnt really work with vista
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
first boot incredibly fast, but then no splash screens helps.

Customisation takes a long time, which doesn't bode well.

2nd boot is still quick, looks like a good base for a kitchen..

Looks like it's still in need of some fairly desperate tweaking, scrolling through a folder takes far too long and is jerky.

edit: resco explorer is flyng so it's just the inbuilt one being pants..

File operations, even on internal memory, are slow (or maybe I've become spoiled lately).

however opening settings and some of the other screens is really quick. Programs is near instant.

Updated progs Included as cabs are:

R19 of FM radio Panel

R19 of Media Panel (same file I posted)

MR1 of VF javaUA

opera 2535 (same file I posted)

SPBMobile Shell Panel.

Panel Manager works fine, no problems with rotation here.

Video playback is really awful in media panel.

this is the VFUK 2A
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
yes it does I used it last week 3 times!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] RMNZR:
Customization is ongoing on my device, will update if I notice anything new / improved :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
If you don't know these answers then I really would wait till this is out officially via SEUS. It's not yet.

I was using the Custom RUU that we use to flash custom roms..

Flash by Sd card has been covered before, there's even a sticky thread on it.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] doministry:
Thanks, so the answer is YES, we upgrade via SEUS?

P.S. I also used SEUS on Vista, no problems...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] doministry:
All right, my previous post has been written when you've been writing yours...

Anyway ok, I don't use any custom ROM's,

so I'll wait for official......
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] RMNZR:
What I've seen so far:

- Speed may be improved, but the xpanels still lag when sliding out the keyboard.

- crossmediapanel now includes SIMcontacts under contacts.

- Norwegians will get hardware ÆØÅ - This based on the fact that my keyboard is all rearranged to include dedicaded buttons.

Thank you for compiling this list :)

In fact, I can see no X1a ROM's listed as released yet
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Shoyu:
Thanks so much for these instructions! (Flashing via SD card)

Is it true that, with the correct ROM files and with the above instructions, I can roll back to the Generic_UK ROM at any time when things go wrong?

Thanks guys!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dneal:
I'm not sure this is correct.

My U.S. device lists:

Software Id: 1218-9240

Software Version: R1AA021

Now that would lead me to believe it is outdated. However, it also lists:

Customization Id: 1219-1224

Customization V... R2A

Customization V... GENERIC_NAM

The NAM ROM listed in the thread is: X1a_GENERIC_NAM_CDF1219-1224_R2AA008

So which "Id" should we be looking at? Given the first two pieces of info, it appears my ROM is out of date. With the last 3, it's not.

FWIW, SEUS's Update Service lists mine as current with "Version 1219-1224"

:confused:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] holdout:
I just flashed the GENERIC X1a NAM (North America) Release 2 (R2 aka R2AA bla bla) on my X1i since i'm in Canada.

now it shows customization R3A. so yes you are out-dated and should update.

I installed Manila HD on this new ROM and when I scroll through the photos they are much smoother now! This probably means that a new 3D driver is included!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] msalmank:
Your Software Version is older than the version uploaded... yours is R1, the uploaded one is R2... that's all that matters... (in my opinion)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dneal:
Ok, thx!

I downloaded the NAM file, renamed it to Kovsimg.nbh, put it on a freshly formatted FAT32 microSD card and rebooted (volume down and power button...). When the bootloader screen came up, it said "image not found" and "serial" at the bottom. How do I boot from the SD card? Do I need to load the HardSPL first?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fommuz:
i just flash my X1 with seus - even if the message appears that no new version can be found.

and voilà >>>> i've got the new version "X1i_GENERIC_DE_CDF1215-3303_R2AA006"

try it!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] holdout:
Weird for me it worked just fine. make sure you didnt name it Kovsimg.nbh.image check the file extension.

make sure your SD card is inserted before you reboot to flashing mode
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zxcvcxz:
hey!

Thanks for the reply!!

I've tried the hidden admin account and it's still not working. Also, I've updated it once before on my regular account.. would this have made the difference? I've also since installed touchflo 3D.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Ad =]:
Hey everyone :)

Long time stalker, first time poster.

I just needed a bit of advice RE: flashing my phone with stock firmware.

Now, I've HardSPL'd my phone and have installed gtrab's W4X (which is amazing may I add). However, I need to send my phone in for a repair (under warranty.. bloody light leaks) and, as I understand it, I need to flash my phone with my carriers original ROM (Telstra AU) and also through the default SPL on after this.

So I downloaded the .EXE from this page and have opened NBHUtil etc and followed the steps etc but I just wanted to make sure I'm doing the right thing so I don't destroy my phone :)

I went to "Extract NBH" and extracted the OS with the following info:

MODEL ID: KOVS*****

Target CID: 11111111

Version: 1.03.841.8

Language: USA

Chunk Size: 64

Following this I went into build NBH and selected the OS.

Now, I know I need to change the language from "DEU" to "USA" but do I keep the Version as 1.00.X1 or do I input 1.03.841.8 instead.

If this sounds completely idiotic I'm sorry. :o

I just want to make sure I'm doing everything correctly so I don't make a mistake/ know for sure next time.

CHEERS :)

/ just to make it easier can I just flash my phone with SEUS then restore the StockSPL?

Haha.

EDIT:Don't worry, I managed to work it out.

Cheers.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] poetryrocksalot:
Right, you make the admin account, and then the admin account should show up as a separate user on your log on screen.

Have you tried logging into the administrator account? I tried updating via my main account even though I activated the admin account and it didn't work, so I tried logging into the admin account and the update was able to recognize my phone.

Here is what MSVC versions I have at my disposal and its MBs

1.6.19971-4.08MB

1.6.19214-4.26MB

1.6.20771-2.36MB

1.6.21040-2.42MB

1.6.19209-4.26MB

All are CAB files which I install directly doubleclicking from the device's memory card and for every version there is installation error but the installation is successful.

As I told before I did not install any other application other than those came along with the ROM (cooked or original from SE)

But on any ROMs the caller announcement for incoming calls did not work. (except the latest version i.e. 1.6.21040-2.42MB - where caller name was announced but the ring tone was not played back)

I had also used Herms before, on which the same files did work without any problems and the MSVC worked there for the same cab files.

Any suggestions?

Hi

I think I really hate ne new firmware...at first i was impressed...everything worked fine and so on. But then i noticed the mistakes:

-Often Crashes after boot ( in the last time nearly after every boot)

-Music stops 30 seconds after turning of the display....

I would recommand to NOT update now. I think it's great that Pavel has Uploadet the whole stuff, but the new updates from SE are Sh!7....

Does anyone have the same Problems ???

Xperiancer.blogspot.com says: "The update was released early on the 14th of May and so far the reports are disappointing. The R3AA 010 ROM update contains none-of the goodies and features that were seen in the leaked R3A ROM, including the new panel manager. What happened to those features and the updated panel manager? No Xtrakt, No new Media Panel, No geo-tagging, No auto-flash, No new Panel Manager…"

Have anybody tested these?

The R3A is cool. But not enough to be latest up to date ROM.:p
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Dunnam:
my mainproblem with this firmware is that it often crashes when I hit the Start button. The start menue won't disappear anymore and is stuck.

I've seen in this forum that Hardreset is the solution for this Problem...but how do i Hardreset??? All other Files will also be removed right??? I think that can't be the good solution. I think SE should come up with a new Rom as quick as possible, because that's the worst one i've ever seen for the X1.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zagito:
Hi Dunnam,

go Start->Einstellungen->System-> Speicher löschen. You do that from the GUI. It exists even a solution with a Hard-reset by button combination. The System installs itself after a hardreset.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Dunnam:
kk thy...got that....i hope se will release as quick as possible a new firmware...it really drives me crazy.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zagito:
Dunnam, if you're using a backup of your prvious data, this could be the reason why you have so many problems.

So don't use backups, because older files (and damaged ones) will be copied on the brand new SW version.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zagito:
To the experts:

What means StockSPL from 0.72 to 0.78 effectively -> Does anybody know why this update? Or is this blocking HardSPL 1.0? Or is this for preparing for...?

I cannt explain a new version of StockSPL... the old one had no problems..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] temo44:

I connected my x1 to the SEUS but it says my phone already has the latest update which is R2AA010.

how is it that those R3 updates are released then one after the other for different languages?

mine is UK.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
Interesting question.... "we" should READ into it....!!! :cool:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] SorWrath:
That's right, I was excited that finally the new update is here, i went to SEUS tried to update and it told me that i have the latest R2AA007. Then here, there are all these ROMs that people have problems and from what i reading they don't have all the nice features that beta versions have. Something doesn't seem right imo.

Reading more posts it seems that the official R3 is coming (perhaps) in June, i don't think i am going to update until i see the update in SEUS.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] kaanten:
I have a question.

Currently ive got this ROM: 1.02.114.7 on my X1 of t-mobile branded (netherlands) installed. But i want to upgrade it to the new ROM.

My current provider is KPN.

What ROM do i have to download and install? And do i need hard spl to install the new rom? And do i need a micro SD card? Because i didn't receive it yet from Sony Ericsson (waiting 6months now).

Sorry for the noob questions. But i don't want to make any mistakes.

Thanks in advance.

x1i rom with video call

i have an xperia x1i and doesnt let me make video calls is there anyway you can upload a us version rom with this capability the us version doesnt have this and the european x1 has some issues with the range and speed of signal, thats what i heard

thanks
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
First of all: where are you located and want to use the phone?

I have the generic_uk R3a and the signal is as perfect as it can be in the U.S. of A.

Since it is the UK version, I have video call of course. BUT in the U.S. of A. there is NO video calling!

So, if YOU are in Europe or NOT in the U.S. of A., why would you want a U.S. Version software???

You can download the generic_uk here and flash it via SD method easily and safely. But flash 2 times and in between do a hard reset. I had to do it that way to make it useful. After just the first flash my phone got laggy and froze a lot. Now it is okay.

Hope that helped ;)

Norwegian ROM

Hi,

Yesterday I downloaded new ROM from SEUS, Norwegian R3AA007. I guess it has to be official since I got it from SEUS. I am not very impressed with the changes, I cant find any difference from R2AA** that I had from before.

Does someone know why this update does'nt include new MediaPanel, New CameraSoftware, better softkeys and all the other updates that are leaked as R3A cabs on this forum?

Also I read that people writes that new updates for Xperia X1 are expected june 2009. Does that mean they missed the month, or that we will get another update soon? Hope it's the last as I was very disapointed with R3AA007 release.
