im not shure if that are RUU-compatible files if you rename them to RUU_img.nbh but look at this path in SEUS:

C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs

if you sort by size there will be some files with size about 170MB ore something near this...... that must be the image file and the one with the newest change date is the actual image......

but i repeat ive not tried this for myself cause i dont want to reconfigure my X1 again......
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
if you disconnect after the download has started then it'll stop the download.

I've not found away of converting the downloaded data into a nbh yet (or any other format that we can dump).

I've just flashed my x1 using SEUS and then dumped it and done a windiff on the old and new, and this is definitely R2 despite it SEUS saying it is R3
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Speed baron:
I installed the german generic R3A007 and it's running nice. (I install in a vm machine XP and update via SEUS!)

I think the performance is a little bit faster then R1A which I had before.

The speed of the camera is a little bit faster but not really.

I cannot find any news in the phone after the update - only its a little bit more stable and on a performance scala in percent the speed is now 10% faster during switching between tasks or taking a picture (the speed of the automatic focus is faster!!!!).

It's OK to install the new ROM but if someone is happy with the old one I think all the work/time for reconfiguring the phone with all personal settings is not worth to lost all these fine things - hjust my two cents.

Nice day

anyway... still no updates for generic UK ROM yet
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
I just wanted the build.

in english its the first line (after the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional) for example my current custom rom reads

CE OS. 5.X.21041 (Build 21043.162)

If it's 19608.1.2.60 then it's R2A not R3a
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] killer8nl:
Dutch R3AA007 is build 19608.1.2.60

ROM: GENERIC_NL_R3AA007

ROM date: 03/24/09

ROM version: 1.05.937.7

any more information you want?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] de Wolfe:
So guys. Just got my X1 back from SE-Support because of a crack.

AND: It has been flashed with the new ROM. So there can't be any doubt anymore @fards: the R3A is definitely not an issue of SEUS or a mistake ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Kev!n:
Just got back my x1 from repair here in the Netherlands. And also have R3a007 but nothing is changed, what you can see.

So I think that there are only some little performance repairs in the new firmware.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] the_black_dragon:
but from where have all rom cookers here these "*R3A-Applications"? if there is nothing of them in the official R3A firmware c.O
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] de Wolfe:
In my opinion SE and all of us thought that these new features would be included in the new R3A and this mainteneance-update wasn't planned in the beginning. SE had to give this smaller update a name and logically after R2A there had to follow R3A. The bigger update will hopefully be R4A in the end of June.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] VanAuberjim:
No, for this minor update the version should be R2AA035 or something.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
I agree, minor update would be something like that or like R2ABxxx , R2ACxxx or someting like that.

R2, 3, 4, etc. is a major update.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] augie7107:
Just tried SEUS NAM again.

Still has R2AA008 as newest.

This sucks if this R3 rom is nothing but bug fixes.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tsalzer:
R3.....

When will the original R3... Versions will be posted? SE Update running on a Vista PC is absolutely unable to connect to the X1
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] james_lau80:
same here.. does anyone know how to fix the issue? thanks in advance
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] de Wolfe:
I heard of some people that SEUS ran on Vista when they removed the tick for the USB-connection in the mobile device center. Maybe that helps.

Other said, that they had to install the new driver for the USB-sync-connection; just let Windows Update run while your X1 is in the bootloader-mode connected with your PC - maybe try this more then once; my Windows Update needed four runs to find the driver :cool:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] james_lau80:
tried a few times, only the 1st solution works for me, cant figure out the 2nd one. thanks so much
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
Maybe SE wants to "trick" us.....

Has anybody with a recently R3 flash, installed those goodies from here, like the special panels or other 'leaked real R3 goodies'?

Sometimes 'they' mean by a maintainance update to add things to a black list or plug holes that allow otherwise installation of something 'they' don't want us to install.

Just a thought.....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] itje:
there is no r3aa on seus..

the name of the upcoming r3aa is

APP-SW_X1_GENERIC_UK_1213-6450_R3AA010__KOVS

I would not have to high hopes on what is put in this rom..

build 19608.1.2.60 :(

in this version there is no "extra goodies" If I had not relesed the stuff from the beta I recieved on r3aa earlier, some of those apps might not have seen the light of day
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] itje:
I might be wrong, but I doubt it...

The r3aa is/was? planned to be the last romupdate for x1
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] PavelX1:
Check first post. I just uploaded some R3AA007 firmwares! :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] itje:
and here is UK

r3aa UK

APP-SW_X1_GENERIC_UK_1213-6450_R3AA010__KOVS

have fun
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] emuneee:
Is the UK ROM the same as the other R3A ROMS that were released (ie. no R3A improvments - panel manager, camera, etc.)?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Just a quick question: does this have the panel manager or should/can we still install the one that was leaked? I don't want to mess this up before it starts... thank you!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nguyenkhanhhoang:
I see all new R3AA posted by Pavel is 007 so why you have 010 for Generic_UK? Some things are strange...:confused:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] VTR555:
Hello,

A little question... R3A was on WM6.1 or WM6.5 ?

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] itje:
depends on the source..what you can have access to
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] de Wolfe:
Let's hope that SE just changed their plan (I don't even think that they had any plan in any time :D ) and that they decided to put a performance-update before the last big update - perhaps due to some issues with the bunch of new features; perhaps they just underestimated the issues that introducing so much stuff within one update could produce.

I have to admit that I'm just trying to read in tea leaves :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gizzistar:
giZ

R3A is 6.1,

the R3A italian is not yet released?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] itje:
no r3aa is "released" ....not officialy

im sure they will be posted as soon as they get available
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Xkan:
But that would mean we never get a new panel manager, a new media panel, a newer windows build?

So the R3AA beta with the new things was something different or is the German R3AA version incorrect?

Now I'm confused :confused::confused::confused:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zagito:
..what about StockSPL?

gone from 0.72 to 0.78...????????????
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
Okay, just flashed the R3a via SD (generic_uk). What I found is that it Restarted the flash by itself once!!! It showed something about the RAM and then went as usual.

Now, when checking the memory I have only 268MB and I am sure I had more all those other flashes before.

Anybody eles seen this? It seems they have changed something with the RAM.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fulgore69:
How do you know that?

More info please?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
Because it says so when flashing via SD...

This R3 is a pile of crap! I will go back to R2. The phone is slow and crashes and many programs including ms voice command won't work anymore.

Was nothing wrong with R2 so far and since there is nothing new in 3, frack that. ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nguyenkhanhhoang:
Are u serious man? If there is nothing need to be updated so why SE makes it?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
Good question!!!!!!!!!!!

As some stated there might be minor changes they did, for example as I stated they changed something with the RAM, now I have less!

They added in Device Info the Memory card... 2 entries that show just SQUARES with mine... stuff like this makes me even more upset.

However, I have given this crap another chance and installed again R3. Now, this time I did NOT install this R3 leaked new panel manager... and so far the phone works.

But again, I do not see or feel anything that would make this worth putting up with reinstalling everything.

Perhaps SE made this and called it R3A to upset all that thought R3A would include that leaked stuff... and now so many people have their chins on the ground and are baffled... " where is the stuff.... why is there no new stuff..." .........and SE is laughing! ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] williyung:
Since u've flashed it, can u please confirm the device info show R3AA010 or R3AA007 and the radio version?

Thanks..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ipporek:
Uh? So there's something wrong with this R3A?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gundamboy:
apparently people are claiming that it doesn't include the new R3A panel manager, media panel, or anything really new in fact.

they just note some bug fixes and optimizations, maybe it's just a minor update before the big one?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
Yes of course it shows R3AA010(!) since I flashed that version. Also, the radio is 1.14.25.55 :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] proatiku:
issues with R3AA010

they are so many issues with the R3AA010 rom, tested it, not much difference from the R2AA010 but can't sync with Mobile device centre or Microsoft Myphone service.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] PavelX1:
UK R2AA010 seems to be OTA (not approved) version. It's build is older then R2AA007 files I uploaded yesterday.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nguyenkhanhhoang:
Pavel, I remember that you uploaded R2AA008 first then SE launched R2AA010 on SEUS as newer version so i think R3AA010 also must be newer than R3AA007, is it right?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] chongbh:
I notice that the new panel manager and the Auto Flash is not in this UK R3AA Rom, is it right?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jianwei87:
what had been update for R3AA007 for uk romm?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] XperiaX1_hoa:
Radio up to 1.14.25.55 and Ram used maximum around 30%
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Gegenki:
Please tell us how you get on with the new radio

guys, are these r3a roms from emma ? because seus says my rom r2aa010 is the last available version. generic_uk here
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] donzoomik:
Installed R3 UK, but no big changes noted so far. Boot seems to be faster and memory use has risen. No new panel manager, no new camera, no flash etc. Radio is newer though.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nik40:
R3AA010 UK flop

First impressions from R3aa010 UK:

1.Radio marginally more sensitive but too jumpy: jumps from gsm to umts and back from 0 bar to 3 bar reception and back etc

2. garmin mobile XT shows no satellite reception bars or lock progress

3. video playback of own shot 30fps videos on native player is a joke, worse (ie chopier) than R1 or R2 roms (could not live without core player)

4. No new apps or panels added

5. About 10 - 20MB extra memory eaten up

In conclusion: Are we sure this is not a beta version (to corroborate this : what is holding SE from releasing this on SEUS?)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] de Wolfe:
I tink it's time for a short review on the "new" FW - jst my own experiences:

+less memory (RAM) used

+display backlight bug fixed; with R2A the display just switched on by itself after some seconds... now if you switch it of, then it stays switched off until you switch it on again (that's been a very annoying bug of R2A for me especially at night)

+I had some issues with the touchpad in the mediapanel with R2A, that's fixed now and it is now possible to cruise smoothly through the menues with the touchpad and without using the touchscreen - even in the mediapanel

+my signal strength increased in all modes - GSM, WiFi and GPS (because of the new RADIO) - battery use has not increased, definitely not

-my phone freezed already twice when I just switched between two panels; only a softreset helped...

-had an issue with the new mediapanel from the leaked R3A... it freezed and after a softreset I wasn't able anymore to enter the panelmanager... uninstalling the mediapanel helped and after a new install everything works fine so far

As a conclusion: if you don't know that you have R3A installed, you won't recognize it at a first glance. For me the pro's outweigh the con's (btw: the con's happened once or twice but now everything works completely o.k. since three days.). R3A is not a must-have ;) but i don't see any reason for switching back to R2A.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Ganondolf:

right a little confused

new to the whole flasing thing wel... very little i played arround with p1i

i see lots of roms but very limited mention of Hard_SPL

but from what i can gather u need to hard SPL befor u flash some roms.

i have a brand new X1 from o2 ewwww debarnd neededb... like 1 week old

and want to use the new R3AA010 posted at top of this topic do i need to hard spl first?

also if i do have to hard spl will that mean i can then install any rom regardless even the SE origional ones or will i have to put the old SPL back?

and does doing a hard SPL affect the current ROM or will it jsut make no difference except the ability to flash a new ROM.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] williyung:
You dont need to do the hardspl if you just want to flash any stock rom.

Hardspl is needed when you want to flash cooked rom.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] de Wolfe:
As long as you ar satisfied with SEUS you don't have to care about HardSPL. But if you want to flash custom ROMs or just leave SEUS being SEUS then you should first of all read through the Stickies in this subforum and then you'll understand how to do everything you want.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] JDouce:
i sort of understand i read it all but thers a lot to take in i want to flash to

Generic United Kingdom R3AA010 Software Update

however i might want to try some cooked ones and im correct in thinking that doing a Hard SPL wouldnt have any adverse effect anyway so i could just hard spl it then i would have to worry about it if i want to change the rom anytime

Using the the latest R3 from this morning. Working with panels is a though experience... 3 softresets by now!:mad:

I'd go back to R2 but keeping the latest radio version. For doing this, a hard SPL must be done, I suppose. Now, what I'd ask you is to confirm that these are the correct steps:

1. Hard SPL

2. Install R2A

3. Install Xperia_Radio_1.14.25.55

Please confirm!

I just updated my x1 with seus. I have radio 1.14 and R3AA007 GENERIC_NL now. The phone works fine .....with 1 small problem.I'm not dutch......... I'd like an english rom . So the steps are HardSPL and then GENERIC_EN ROM.

I must take other radio or keep the fresh 1.14 that i have now?

After HarsSpl and new rom can i put sspl to match my new ROM ?

If i put matching spl to the Rom the SEUS will see or not my device? And if it will see my device will make updates in EN or dutch?

I'm not into kooking and customizing that much ( i don't have experience ) I just want an english rom that will be updated by SEUS from time to time.If there is a solution pls help me if u can.

If there is no solution , at least i want to install generic_en , so is there anyone that can guide me what are the corect steps to install Generic_EN R3aa on my x1

1 - hardSPL

2 - Generic_en ra3 update

- only this ? or there is anything else?

PS - the phone is simlock free and logofree X1i

Hello Guys!

I was really happy about the information of the R3A release. The first thing that I do, I downloaded it and install. But now, I am very confused. The new German Generic have no "New Media Panel" and no "New Panal Manager". Furhtermore no "new games". Is that ROM a fake or what? Thanks for help

with best reguards.

Hmm still too many problems with the new ROM's. I'll stick with my R2AA010 until these problems are solved.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] doministry:
So, no UK generic on SEUS yet??
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
Just to give ahead warning about the new generic_uk R3A and the leaked R3A (panels, manager, etc.):

be very careful what you install. I flashed the R3A uk, and then installed the leaked R3A new panelmanager... and all went down the drain. Slow and programs not working (ms voice command, etc.). Was close to downgrade and keep R2 but then gave another chance and did NOT install the leaked SE panels nor panelmanager... and so far works!

But the 'bug' where the phone sometimes just hangs for a few seconds (unresponsive!!!), is still there. So it is really very unclear what in heavens name SE did to justify a full R3A update!

Unless somebody else states the new panelmanager works great with generic_uk R3a, I suggest don't install that p-manager.

;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] augie7107:

I am searching for the same a lot and to get it work for incoming call announcement.

Installing the cab file also gets some errors though the installation of cab is successful.

Can you please guide me in this matter. I will be very grateful. Thanks in advance
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] williyung:
Did you do the hardreset after flashing the ROM and install ActiveX Deploy before you install the new panel manager?

Now I'm using the new panel manager & new media panel (remove the old one 1st) with the "official" R3A without any issue and the responsive is fast and so smooth.

And also I didn't find the phone 'bug' as you reported after two days using..

Hello,

actually both versions 1.6 work. The 1.6.19965 gives error after install but works perfectly after a restart (and installs also the complete help files!).

The version 1.6.19971 is what I use now (since its the latest as far as I know!) but this one does not install the help files.

I do not know what else would be different. Again, both work and I currently have the 19971 installed and working perfectly (even through bluetooth!!!).

I have discovered two things with the new firmware.

1) The screen is more touch sensetive than it used too.

2) under Customer information there are two points called "Memory Card ID" and Memory card Version". They weren't there before with R2A.
