[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Kyros_:
My guess would be that package installer is used by Market so maybe you need it or maybe Market just downloads and doesn't install without package installer so then you can install with ASTRO. I wanna know what the stk.apk is for as it's never been in there before, I know it has something to do with the SIM card but what exactly?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
You're right, I remember seeing it somewhere that stk has something to do with dual sim enviroment however I thought that android did not support dual sims... hmm interesting, well going to nuke it anyway.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numerik:
You're probably going to want to keep PackageInstaller. Even though you can install apks through Astro it wouldn't have the right permissions to do so on its own. It would have to do so through a system level service which is likely what PackageInstaller is.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Good point. I'm taking them out one by one to see what happens.

Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numerik:
FYI I wouldn't delete any of the *Provider.apk files. These appear to be basic system services that other apps would need to implement some of their functionality. MediaProvider for example would be the service apps would use for playing sound or video. I'm not sure but I think DRMProvider is for protected apps (this would also include free apps if the developer published it that way). Some of the others also look like they would be used for app functionality through intents as well. Like HTML Viewer which I believe provides HTML rendering for apps that need it (possibly including the browser as it wouldn't make sense for it to have it's own separate renderer). Term might be what provides the adb shell. I would really do more research before you start deleting files indiscriminately. I just keep recalling the old story about the guy who deleted all those useless DLL files to free up hard drive space...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Kyros_:
By the way Term.apk is actually Terminal Emulator so you don't need it if you don't use it and plus you can download it from Market.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
I have to say once more.. thank god for nandroid. I'll post my results here at some point. See, some stuff may only be useful to some people and be a complete waste of space and resources for others. In my case - IM is that waste of space. I do use Gtalk but it's a stand-alone app therefore I thought that I could delete IM.apk, IMprovider.apk and TmoIMPlugin.apk without any problems.... WRONG!!! Gtalk started giving me FC. I've deleted IM.apk previously without any problems so it's one of the other two. Nand for now... will play with it later.

Thank you for your thoughts, if anyone wants to contribute - please do so.

I made the jump to the iphone from a tilt. I must say I am quite happy with the iphone. Well happy other than the fact that I cant watch my slingbox over 3g, 2g or edge (only on wifi) without jailbreaking my iphone (which I would rather not do). Rumor has it that someone has found a way to do this but I have not found it yet.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Spir4:
Hi,

I just received my HTC Touch pro, and so far I like it very much:)

But I have 2 questions about the settings.

First question is about the GPS Settings. On the first tab (Programs), you can set the GPS program port (COM4 is my default setting). But on the second tap (Hardware), you can set the GPS hardware port (with None as my default setting).

What's the difference between those 2 ports?

My second question is about the Wi-Fi settings:

In the 'Configure Network Adapters' you can set 'My network card connects to', and in the dropdown menu you can choose between 'The Internet' and 'Work'.

But when you independently set up the wireless networks you added, you can also set those networks for 'The internet' or 'Work'. Do those 2 settings have a different outcome then? Or what's the difference?

Thanks in advance !
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] paperWastage:
the 1st tab allows you to set a port.. any GPS software will access that port to get access to GPS data

the second one is for external GPS, i.e. BT GPS... i have BT GPS for my Dell axim x51v... the BT setting is COM8 for outgoing port, so i have COM8 for this second tab, COM4 for the 1st tab... GPS program uses COM4 for access, while WinMo does the work behind the scenes forwarding data b/w COM8 and COM4
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
Hello!

In my previous post i asked for the best ROM for the X1, ive already downloaded the image file for a ROM called "EnergyROM_KOVSKY_20090805_Standard".

Now i just want to know how to Apply it to the phone.

What do i need to change in the phone before installing the ROM?

Is it even possible to change ROM in a prototype?

I also have problems updating my ROM (when i tried it before)...RUU gives me error code 262.

AS you may notice, im really retarded when it comes to this, but hopefully i will learn sometime.

I will post some device info. Just so you know whats inside the phone.

Rom-Version: 1.02.936.3

Rom-Date: 08/29/08

Radioversion: 1.06.25.29

Protocall version: 52.43.25.24U

CPU: QUALCOMM(R) 7200A

Clock: 528 MHZ

RAM-Size: 256 MB

Flashmemorysize: 512 MB

Database: 32 Bit

StorageSize: 281.58 MB

Bluetooth-Version: 2.0/2.0+EDR

Firmware: R1AA017

And please: Dont redirect me to some multi thread that is named "How to flash your phone) Cause ive already tried it, but i dont understand **** there :P

If someone would be kind enough to give me a step by step walkthrough on how i do to upgrade just that ROM that ive downloaded. And what other programs i need to be able to fix my phone.

Thanks in advance!

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Wild Child:
You need to check in the bootloader(tri-colored screen) what your spl is... In order to flash a custom rom it will need to say this SPL-0.72.01OliNex....if it does not say this then you need to hardspl the phone...if you follow the instructions it is easy. Once this is done then you will need this....copy the ROM you have downloaded into the CustomRUU folder and execute the file. If this does not work....you will need to format your memory card(Fat32) and follow these instructions, plus there is a video tutorial regarding all the procedures you need....the instructions are as basic as one can get.

Good luck.

Regards,

WC
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
Thanks for the first good reply...Onfortunatly when i try and update it just say update error 284...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] devalian:
a noob with a professional phone?

know nothing but using a prototype phone.. lols...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
You mean that no person with a general knowledge about flashing rom = busting warranty shouldnt be allowed using a phone?

How do you know anything about what i do with the phone, with what apps im using, and what im using it for?

Mind your own business and come back to the thread when you have something to contribrute.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Gwystyl:
There's a list of error messages here somewhere. Maybe you can find it here. I think the answer is here. It sais just try again after turning off and turning it back on again

btw, being rude to other users isn't going to help you get your questions answered any faster. Updating roms isn't that hard anymore, but you need to be carefull and know what you're doing. If you don't understand how flashing works and what you need to do for that, you can read the stickies in this rom section. I think it's explained very clearly and step by step lots of times.

edit: looking at all your posts, it seems you've asked the same about three times, and most things kan be found easily by google or the xda forum search. Maybe try a bit harder before asking here?

if you don't like criticism, just ignore my post; everybody has to learn to work with windows mobile, but the only way is to try a lot yourself, search, try some more, search again, then ask and try some of the answers given. Don't get agitated when not everyone is giving you the right answer in clear steps, most of the users are trying to explain as good as they can with the information provided.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ryousuke:
the guides are pretty thorough...

if you read them its clear enough...

(assuming you want to use non official Sony roms - you need to flash your hardspl so you wont get errors... (think this is where you're stuck)...

download a hardspl and flash it via activesync)

Then

copy the rom into your sd card root directoy...

rename it to kovsimg.nbh

hit the reboot switch while holding down power and the down vol button to start the update process

this is the easiest way...

but as above, if you want shortcuts for everything and dont read the instuctions clear you MAY END UP BRICKING YOUR PHONE...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
I'ts a difference in writing a post with no meaning and a post like you just did.

Example: You start a new thread, no matter what it's about. There are two guys responding.

One guy is giving you this as a answer: Lol, thats kinda noobish that you dont know how to use your phone.

The second guy answers just like you did, you gave me information and links on where and what to search for. But still points out that theres many "obvious" stuff that im asking for.

Big difference.

Back to topic. I've already figured out how to do all, i have all the files that i need.

The problem is that when i try and update the SPL to 1.00.X1 instead of thje other 1.02.Olinex (or what its called) I always get a connetion error 262.

Ive read the links that you gave me before, and it says that you need to either softreset, change usb port or reboot your computer. Guys in another thread gives the same instructions.

Still no success.

So since i've done my searching, done the exact procedure that you should do. And it's still not working. Is that still something just "obvious" to ask for?

And i apologize if i hasn't been clear enough in this thread that the phone im using is a proto. And i still haven't been confirmed by some other proto user that this method is acctually working.

I'm thankfull for all the (helpfull) responses i get. And im trying them all.

If something else comes up i will post it in this thread. No matter if its obvious or not.

Have a nice day everyone!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] CharlieSImon:
Looks like there's a connection error when your phone reboots to go into tri-color boot menu.

Google for USB Mass storage device, download the driver and install it and then try again.

Of course you have to find the right driver for your OS.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
haha, damn, thats obvious, that i didnt think of that before. hehe, thank you!

Btw, if the phone gets into the tricolor menu, and the progressbar shows up (but still stuck at 0%) can it still be because the driver?

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ryousuke:
if its stuck at 0% it means you're not flashing a compatible rom...

obviously you havent flashed the spl...

flash a OFFICIAL sony rom first... if you still have issues at least you know its either the 'prototype' hardware

or your PC...

which i'd suggest try flashing from another PC...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
Oh, im sorry if i didnt expressed myself good enough.

When im using X1_HardSPL i get the 284 update error.

When in using the custom RUU i get the 262 error.

So i guess the X1_HardSPL application is to change SPL?

If i cant seem to change SPL i wont be able to change rom either. Correct?

Since i have the SPL that was shipped with the phone, can i still upgrade from R1A to R3A without changing SPL?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] twe69:
Have you disabled any of your firewall and anti virus programs when you try using the software?

I previously always had to disable my zonealarm firewall before I could uset he spl software....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
Yes I've done.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] lrammers:
yes if you have the stock SPL you can upgrade from R1a to R3a with the standard SE update utility.

which can be downloaded at the SE site under support.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
The Phone is still a Proto.....

Therefor not accepted by SEUS
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] harveydent:
Try flashing the official Sony Ericsson ROMs first. No need to Hard-spl for those.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
I cant install R3A :S

It says "No image found" bootloader.

And the card is FAT32, and the file is named Kovsimg.nbh

And yes, its placed in the root of the Card.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Gwystyl:
And if you try to flash via ActiveSync with CustomRUU? That worked most of the times with my X1. Oh wait, that got you the error 262.

In one of your other threads someone says (or you quoted) that one of the advantages of a proto was that there's no security check, which means it might not even be necessary to use HardSPL first.

I've had error 262 a few times; just try to flash again, maybe from another computer if that's possible. You can also try to flash another rom first.

Which roms have you tried flashing? Have you tried with a freshly formatted sd-card smaller than 2 gb (although I think that won't have any effect); you can also try renaming kovsimg.nbh with all small letters, all capitals or the way you just spelled it. It might be important.

offtopic: I get your point on the reactions you get when opening new threads. Everything is simple when you now where to look or if you've done it before, but it can be very hard to find the answer when there's so much info to choose from.

That said: a topic title of something like "having trouble flashig a custom rom to prototype" sounds a bit more serious then "need massive help" with a lot of exclamation marks. That might set people off on the wrong foot.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
I've tried flashing on other computers.

The roms i've tried is the official R3A and a custom rom that was released 5th of august.

Tanks for the tips offtopic, i will have that in mind next time i start a thread. is there some way to change name of the topic? any mod that can do it?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bassam:
Ok I will presume u know nothing about your ROM instaled at ur device, so forget about your pc and SD card

Info, X1 hard disc has 3 partitions 1 for the rom 1 for hard SPL 1 for the radio so the small partition for boot loader hard SPL ply all the roll for upgrade or updates for both rom and radio

Power off your xperia x1 Phone

Remove the SD card

Remove the battery and put it back

Press with one hand and 2 fingers at the 2 metal buttons on the font of the x1 keys

With your other hand press quickly the power button and leave it

Now you 2 possible scenarios will happen

1 your phone will boot normally using the rom preinstalled at the hard disc and using the hard SPL .nbh you installed to boot, you need to see while the trio screen red/green/blue what hard spl is their and note it down

(0.72.OliNex for third party rooms, Cooked ones and 0.72 -000 for original rom)

2 if it did not boot so there is a conflict with your hard SPL and the rom installed at your device

Your options is to reinstall different hard SPL .nbh as boot loader to bring up your rom (if its 000 download 0linx and if it is 0linx go for 000 stock rom .nbh file

Then flash any rom related to your hard SPL

Hope this also helps
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
When i do that it just boot into a hard reset menu. Is there supposed to be something else?

Just so be clear, you were talking about the buttons thats over the answer call and decline call button (1 button on each side)?

In the bootloader screen (volumebutton down and powerbutton press)

It says KOVS100

SPL-78.0000

MicroP1-687

MicroP2-707

Blank on green and blue

on white it just says serial
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bassam:
yes bothe side , not volum

and i can see you have stock rom hard spl 000 , you can not flash cocked rom without changing the hard spl to 0linx

do the hard spl at the 2 side buttons first and let me know
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] blacklion33:
Hi.

In theory the prototype has no security checks. A friend of mine had over time all kinds of SE prot and he told me this. So the HardSPL might not be required. It's all dependent on the roms you try to flash.

In my opinion you would have to try different roms and some might work ...... the chef is very important here.

Good luck with this.

:)

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
When i press the two buttons and the powerbutton the phone just boots normal? Is there something else that should come up?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bassam:
you said your screen trio is

It says KOVS100

SPL-78.0000

MicroP1-687

MicroP2-707

nothing will boot for u but your origenl rom if it is not corrapted

i belive you need to hard spl again ( will send u the file) to bring your trio color boot loader as follow:

KOVS110

SPL-0.72.0liNex

MicroP1-787

MicroP2-707

other wise you will not be able to flash any cooked ROM
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bassam:
yes open the keyboard press R then space then follow the screen
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bassam:
this hard spl for cooked roms
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bassam:
and this is for original roms if you want to install back stock sony X1 WM6.1
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Mopral:
Are you sure that your phone is a prototype???

Because I see 2 things:

1- it's weird that a prototype has the new X1 SPL (it say SPL-78.0000 and no SPL-72.0000)

2- Prototype has no security enable so, If I remember well, it should display "security unlock" somewhere on the screen
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
Ive already tried that app you sent.

You know what guys...it seems like the phone is not acting like a retail at all, with all the connection problems and stuff.

I'm thinking of just putting this aside. Nothing seems to work.

Thanks for the effort.

Although, if someone with experience of flashing prototypes please add your comment here.

Since the "regular" methods that the rest of you are using doesn't seem to work.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xylidine99:
do you have the xperia x2??? :)

also when you name it kovsimg.nbh i windows make sure that it isnt being named kovsimg.nbh.nbh

what i do is name it just kovsimg and then goto properties and see the file type if it says nbh then your fine if not then you have to add the nbh in the name..sorry this is all i have for you...

happened to me so maybe look into that cuz that will give you a image not found problem
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Chaosstorm:
Well... your phone has the normal xperia specs.. i had some trouble at hardspl stuff too.. but reading stuff on xda 3times at it worked, i even managed to get the normal spl back :P

And why do you think your phone is a prototype?

Special imei number? Since the prototypes didnt had 35 at start.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
Double post, see the last one
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
I know its a prototype since all phones i got from my supplier is a prototype (the guy works at se at a product shower, to O2, vodaphone, ect.

At the back it says Prototype, not type approved, not for sale.

And the imei starts with 0.

So theres not doubt that its a proto, cause its a "brown" phone.

As i said, all the phones that my supplier gives me is protos for showing to phone operators.

The protos has the same firmware as the retail phones.

Though its not acceptable to SEUS and stuff.

The reason i got this phone is because my supplier got a new phone with the R3A firmware. I have tried the same procedure with that phone, but not successfull.

And yes, it says security unlock when booting it.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rc3ilynt:
I have a x1i prototype and it flashes just fine. I don't know what the problem with your phone is. Behind the battery where the IMEI and info is check the version number on the phone should be mid right with a xxWxx(x being numbers). Anything thats 08W25 and beyond is basically a full retail version of the phone from what I was told. I had trouble at first flashing hardSPL and roms in general at first but once I tried it on a different computer it worked fine. On another note, from what I've experienced, flashing via the SD card method does not work on prototypes(my x1i anyway). If anything try a hard reset on the phone.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zelduy:
try hard reseting it first... then install the Hard-SPL again from activesync.. if it's still doesnt work.. try Hard-SPL it again from other computer...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
It says 08W22 on the back.

And btw, u mean that if i have the kovsimg.nbh in the root when i do a hard reset on the phone, will it install that firmware then?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Chaosstorm:
When you have copied the kovsimg.nbh in the root you need to go to the bootloader then it will search for that rom to update to, it only works if you have done hard spl..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:

Is there any way to get back the settings for the HW-keyboard. I miss the swedish layout with ÅÄÖ.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fructis:
Thanks everyone for tremendous support!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Gwystyl:
Good job :). With my previous phone I had a lot of problems with the first custom rom, but after that flashing was without any problems. I hope that is the same in your case.

I think there's a cab floating around for swedish layout. You should check the rom threads of smaberg, since I think he's swedish.

Another way is to look up your country code (english is 0409, dutch is 0413 or the other way around :D) in the registry and change it there to the swedish country code. I think you can find it when you search the forum for "change hardware keyboard layout".
