Sim Unlock Vs. CID unlock

Hello, guys

I recently got my x1a through rogers, so i'm pretty sure it's sim locked. However, i am looking to flash some custom roms onto my x1, and have done a week's worth of research on how to do it. despite that, though, i'm still having some questions, and am hoping that someone here can answer them.

As far as i can tell, there are two kinds of unlocks on the x1: sim unlock and cid unlock. i'm the kind of guy who doesn't really need the radio, so it's not really an issue for me. my question tho, is whether i need to SIM unlock my phone in order to successfully flash a custom rom on it? thanks in advance ^^

Hey ! can anyone help me with something... i've downloaded the Windows.Mobile.6.5 XPERIA ROM_28.Oct.2009_Standard... It has an .exe file and when i start it, it looks like an update for xperia x1... now the question is.. do i have to hard spl my device or just run the updator normaly?

I forgot to say... my rom is generic UK 1.05.931.10 swv R3aa010

Thanx in advance :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormlv:
If you haven't done it already you might need to hard spl. Depends on how you got your phone really. When i got mine, it was already hardspl-ed.

You could try and run the updator and see what it says.

You could also check your hard spl version by putting your phone in flash mode (turn off your phone, then hold the on/off button and volume down button until the tri color screen appears)

BTW, the easiest way for me (and i think the safest) is to download the ROM in the nbh format, copy that on my SD card (it has to be named kovsimg.nbh) and put the phone in flash mode.

Anyway, hope this helps!

Recovering text following ROM install

Hi,

This is probably a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway.. :)

On a couple off occasions I have upgraded the ROM (Sony) or now trying new ROM's I will loose all my texts and mail (no big issue on mail as it is from an IMAP server so I don't actually loose them).

But I set my memory card as default storage for my messaging.

I have now 3 folders on the memory card so:

Inbox.mst3001.....randomnumber

So I though that maybe there is a way to set up messaging again and the copying the folder over or renaming it so that I magically get my old texts back!

Is this possible or is there a way to get them back??

Thanks...

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormlv:
What do you mean you can't turn it on OR off?

Have you tried removing the battery and putting it in flash mode?

If so, what does it say?

If you see the tricolor screen you can just copy a new rom onto your SD card (by whatever means you like) and reflash it?

P.S.

Answers like this must be posted publicly...maybe someone somewhere will have the same issue as you and they can just read the solution from here... No need for PM...

Hi,

I just bought an X1. I am willing to change my rom with the Firestorm ROM. Just a question.

I'm considering to buy the xperia x1 but I've done research on the phone and there are apparently cracks showing on the phone after a period of time.

Based on research, it shows that it mainly occur to only the silver xperia x1 as people are saying, the phone is made by hard plastic, but the black one has rubber feeling on it? Can someone clarify that please?

Would be much appreciated if someone can give me all the answers i'm looking for, cos my old phone just died and i'm in need of a new phone.

I believe xperia's way of functioning and the windows mobile feature is the perfect phone for me, but if there are so much problem with it, i really do not wish to spend a fair amount of money and have no satisfactory.

Tri Color when booting up

Hi all,

I have decided to post this in the noob section first since i do consider myself a "so called N00B" compared to a number of users on this site.

To clear things up, I HAVE searched the forums for this issue & i did find the Topics However it seems whatever i try doesnt work.

The Problem: My Sex1i always loads the tricolor screen where it says no image file found.

The only way i get it to load the Win OS is if i either plug in the usb cable or any electric charger cable be it my car charger or wall socket.

Here's what i have tried to resolve it.

1. I have performed a hardSPL following the instructions on this form.

2. I then update my ROM to the [100% CLEAN WM6.5][2010-01-12] Xperia UnOff Series - Infinite & Xperia X1.5 found on this forum too

3. I have also update my Radio & my camera to the latest roms found on this forum too

4. I have tried turning off Active & connecting to MTTY.exe everthing goes as instructed BUT when i connect to MTTY.exe i get a command prompt-like Named [CLIENT] & no matter what i type it just keeps repeating [CLIENT.

So i honestly need assistance with the MTTY.exe program cuz i cant proceed from there.

5. I have tried Soft & Hard Resetting My SeX1i but no joy

My Tricolor screen reads:

KOVS110

SPL-0.72.0LiNex

MicroP1-787

MicroP2-707

Please assist me in case i have missed out on anything.

Thanks in Advance
