[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] adnnan:
I did the task 29 just as described, first I put a rom (generic UK ROM) in sd card removed card and sim, then entered into the bootloader attached usb and started romupdateutility from task 29 folder ofcourse replace the ruu_signed with a radio file. It worked phone restarted and stuck on SE Logo. then I removed battery insert the sd card entered in bootloader it redirected me to update rom, update started and then Update terminated with message that RADIO Failed, I tried to flash rom with CustomRUU through USB it says ROM Error and stuck, I tried to redo the task 29 and tried different ROM every ROM told same error. PLEASE HELP.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] koyote_0942:
anyone can help where to find the ruu_signed with a radio file for task29?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] louis0815:
Maybe I misunderstood some things on the previous 11 pages, but do you want to upgrade your radio or do you want to clean your internal memory?

Task29 does the latter, not more, not less. Anything else is a different story.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] koyote_0942:
I want to clean my internal memory but you have to change the file that is inside the tool by a radio task29 think I understand

Just unzip and run task29.exe . You may replace ruu_signed.nbh with the radio of your choice.

"you may" as in "if you want to, you can, but it's not necessary". :)

Enter bootloader to flash from SD card...not hard-reset

Try charging your phone. You should never flash your phone with less than 50% battery.

Flash your ROM first and then reflash your radio.

Task29 Works on windows 7 x64 x86

I finally got Task29 to work in both win7 x64 and win7 x86, how i could i forget this simple thing, all i did was under the compatibility tab of the properties of under mentioned tools, i put a check mark on "Run this program in compatibilty mode for windows XP (SP3)"

1) EnterBootloader

2) raitool

3) ROMUpdateUtility

4) RUUGetInfo

At first i was just doing this for ROMUpdateUtility, then i dont know what stuck me today and i changed it for all these and now it works :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sirkula:
so my RADIO stays intact after formating my internal memory with task29...or do I have to re-update it to version I use...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vcoolvin:
Yes, the radio that you flashed to will remain intact and wont be changed as it didnt in mine.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] PredatorX11:
i havent any windows pc...

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] PredatorX11:
i have tryed with both sistems, and the results is the same...:confused:

when i install the rom i found the radio 1.16 version...

work fine or nothing?:confused:

edit: ok i hope is ok...reading a previous messages...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] agent_47:
nope....that wont
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ulysse84:
Hi,

I flash Task29 - Stock Rom - Hard Reset - Task29 again - Custom Rom - Hard Reset.

After that, I found that there is still some sms remaining in the fresh ROM. How is it possible? Anyone has suggestion, please?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] williyung:
The remaining sms is the one which saved in your sim card, i guess.

Task29 only format your x1 internal memory, not including sim card contents.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Badwolve1:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ulysse84:
I guessed that so. Then I removed my sd and repeat all the step. The result is the same. That's annoying.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Wurmzz:
Not the SD card, sometimes some texts are saved in the sim card.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] lemuren:
Just did this, and new ROM seems to be installing just fine (@33% atm).

First i got an error, then i removed the SIM card and it worked just fine. Also turned of the WIN XP SP3 compability mode (had it activated at first). Not sure if the compability was the problem or not. Using Win7 x64 Ultimate and set all *.exe files to run as admin.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] BoyC:
win7 issue solution

Found the solution to the win7 issue, at least on x86: for some reason the usb sync driver isn't always automatically installed when you plug in the phone. To fix this go to the tricolor boot menu on your phone (first remove your sd card as this didn't work for me when the phone went to the "press power to install rom" screen), and connect it to your pc.

If in the device manager under usb you see an unknown device try again, the phone should be recognized under other devices as a Qualcomm MSM device. If you see that with a yellow circle on it simply right click and update driver. A Microsoft USB Sync driver will be installed and you should be good to go.

Hope this helps.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ScHiZii:
Thanks for sharing Agent47. :)

It seems to really make a difference using this tool after a couple of ROM flashes.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] halo0309:
I get Error 262 when running Task29; I've done no changes to the binaries in the (official) zip file. The program states 'update error, communication errors during the update process'

Any ideas as to what might be the issue? Running Win 7 32 bit, have marked all the binaries in the Task29 folder to run as in compatibility mode with XP SP3.

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] caliban2:
262 - isn't that the error-number for missing hard-spl?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] halo0309:
Yes it was - thanks for sorting this out to me. I've now successfully flashed the rom and is happy as ever! :)

problem with old Xperia X1

Hi, I hope that someone is still watching this thread...

I got Xperia X1 from my family but it's bricked. I turn it on and it goes into bootloop. No Sony logo. After the device goes up, screen is lit but still black, after several seconds restarts. When I go into bootloader mode (Volume down + power) screen gets lit but still black, no tri color, nothing - but no bootloop in bootloader mode.

I downloaded Task29 from this thread, plugged the phone to Windows 7 64 bit and it is recognized. I ran ROMUpdateUtility phone started to update and after 1% error 262 UPDATE ERROR "Utility encountered communication error". I have tried different USB sockets. I use original USB Sony cable.

I have obviously unexperienced with this. I know that phone was updated with custom roms before. I have downloaded ROM and files

APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R3AA010

Xperia_Radio_1.14.25.55_By_Fedinand.nbh

I think I have all files necessary.

Is there any chance I can flash anything on my phone? Where should I start? I would be grateful for any suggestions.

[Desire General] arxx:
ok, iv'e got some decidingto do :)

though my work, I can get an x10 for half the price, special deal we got now.

originally im waiting for desire, but these are the factors:

x10 pros:

half price

aviliable two weeks before desire

bigger screen

better camera

x10 cons

Sony Ericsson have less experience with developing phones with android

android 1.6 (for now anyway)

desire pros

made by htc, better experience developing android phones

android 2.1

a bit sexier :)

desire cons

have to pay full price

have to wait a bit longer for it

i kinda feel that i want desire, what would you guys do, and why? :)
[Desire General] vegetaleb:
I feel the X10 is sexier but TOO big

Waiting more for Desire? Not really

It will be out next week in some countries and by 6 April in all countries, X10 will come out in that same period too

The desire will be way cheaper than X10

x10 = 550 Euros

Desire = 420 Euros
[Desire General] irkan:
if you are ok with paying the full price (money wise) I suggest that you get the desire, HTC have more experience in making android devices .. and the HTC Sense interface is as efficient as it is pretty :)

but you know, i dont believe someone here in the "Desire section" will recommend you to get the X10 anyways :P so i suggest you go read reviews (or hands-on) about both as much as you can and then decide what to get
[Desire General] Player9446:
the desire has also the brilliant amoled-screen and the x10 just lcd-panel.

i would prefer the desire.
[Desire General] vegetaleb:
X10:

-More expensive

-Too big for pocket (Desire is just ok thanks to 11.9mm)

-Screen actually limited to 65k because of OS 1.6

-OS 2.1 will be available ''somewhere'' between June and October

-Much less ROM devs

-Price depreciation is pretty fast

+ SE build quality (I am a 10y old SE fanboy) :D

+ Multimedia (better camera and sound)

The only thing that I wouldn't like with Desire is the camera that could have been 8mp, but for all the rest it's a winner
[Desire General] xperian:
I wouldn't get a SonyEricsson smartphone ever again. Essentially they buy some of the features from HTC and then try to create their own "features" on top of it. Problem ist: SE features really suck, because they have *much* less experience.

I'd get a Desire, if you can afford it.
[Desire General] Reversedhex:
Im really struggling to make up my mind which one to get.
[Desire General] Player9446:
screen isnt better at all, its just an old lcd-panel

the desire has amoled
[Desire General] gogol:
Choose Desire, AMOLED screen (type of OLED screen).

It is much efficient, especially if you use quite a lot of black colors as your theme:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_LED

Probably I will just change the background to simply black and see if it has some effects on battery life :)

The .3" diff in screen size is not much. Think about it, take a ruler and measure it :)

And dont forget, the HTC Desire RAM is 576MB compared to x10 384MB, that's a big deal for performance during multitask (you will do this for sure).

8 MP camera does not do justice compare to 5MP, the sensor is too tiny anyway. In fact, the 5MP will produce cleaner image (less noise).

Also, HTC Desire has "optical trackpad", but I am not sure how effective is this ... Anyone know if this can substitute a D-Pad? For example during browsing:)

And x10 is ugly ... my taste :)

Found x10 unboxing and hands-on:

http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/03/sony-ericsson-x10-unboxing-and-hands-on/

Again, after watched it, I will take HTC Desire anyday!

[Desire General] Bikram:
I am in Canada, Rogers is suppose to get X10 by April 14. The phone would cost around 199.99 CAD. I was also confused about what to get, 199.99 CAD vs ~600 CAD? Then I realized that if a spend only 200.00 in this phone then probably I can get other cheaper phones from china later such as http://www.slashgear.com/lenovo-lephone-gets-officially-pictured-1169432/

there are many other cheap chinese phone of really low cost. So I am going to save money and later get cheaper chinese phones :)
[Desire General] n-j-f:
I was originally looking at the X10 until I found the Desire. There will be much better support for the Desire on xda and SE are not very good at updating firmware.

Can't you get the X10 at half price and then sell it on ebay? You would probably get pretty much the whole price for the Desire.
[Desire General] patasenko:
Personally i prefer SE, because i am too kinda SE fanboy. However i would say that HTC having more experience with Android did not screw up with the keyboard as SE did with its x10. It might be also that it will be corrected in the final version, lets hopes so. there is an engadget review of it, i hope it helps.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-review/
[Desire General] Bl@ck:
i played around with an x10 a couple of weeks ago in a congress.

The phone feels choppy for having a 1ghz processor, android 1.6 doesn't work really well with the 480x800 resolution, everything is small, the notification bar is barelly readable. SE reskinned the music player app in a nice way, the timeline ui is just a widget to put in a page and is a bit slow but nice looking. The capacitive touch wasn't really reactive, don't know if was the device i was testing, but sometimes i had to click the icons or swipe repeatedly to make it work.

personal impressions? 5/10 i'll never buy it, never saw a 1ghz device reacting so slowly to commands.
[Desire General] AudunXetrov:
Well, not when he gets it half-off. I would still go for the Desire, though.

If you can afford using 7000ish NOK at once, why not do what norm2002 suggested, and get the X10 at half price to sell on eBay or Finn.no, and get the Desire for your own use?
[Desire General] bcmobile:
I was torn between the X10, N1 and Desire. In the end it was an easy decision for me.

Desire (Sense) has exchange mail/contact/calendar sync. GAME OVER

EDIT: Yes, I know "there is an app for that" but I save US$0.99
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Exca:
Hello,

I remember having a rom which had this htc messaging loading in messages on the WinMo way, in pages with 'older' and 'newer' buttons only showing the last 10 messages.

It made the HTC messaging really fast because now the only thing still lagging is the soft-keybord as it loads in ALL messages on one page and it takes some time, sometimes hundreds of messages i rather don't want to delete.

Does someone know the name/thread of this tweak/fix? All latest roms include the HTC messaging loading in all messages on one page.

I've tried the Zenyee patch to go back to the good old WinMo messaging, which worked fine on previous manilla versions but now it became unusable... it crashes almost every day at some random point (messaging part freezes) not receiving messages anymore untill softreset.. i've got many complaints because of my 'ignorance'
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] georgeono:
you can sync your phone and can save the messages on the itenrnet. This to unload all the messages because they will get more and more and in the end messaging will become pretty laggy.

Maybe the ringtone you're using is just quiet. Edit it on your PC to make it louder before putting it on your phone. All my ringtones are loud enough.

@ john i tried to edit on my pc like how i done for my N95 changing the orginal tone db from 90 to 105. on my N95 i can sense huge diff but on leo. it does not make much diff.

@ Damitu, Terence . ok will try and install to see how is it. thanks guys :)

not many phones can compare to the ringer volume of the mighty n95 8gb....lol, mine rang in a noisy bar once and everyone was looking at me with the 'damn, turn that thing down' look.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mazzarin:
One of the few things I wish I had that seemingly every other mobile OS does is a Yelp application. It's a review site for pretty much any business you can think of - very popular for restaurants, bars, etc. I know people in the US use it a lot. I know Yelp is in the UK as well, not sure how often it is used though.

"Why don't you just go to m.yelp.com and search there"

Yeah I could, but if you get the Yelp app for iPhone, webOS, Android, BB, etc., it'll use your phone's 'network triangulation' or GPS to automatically show you what's around you. Of course, once you have that, you can filter by category (restaurant, shopping, etc.), and sort by rating (and other various features.) If you click on an item of interest, you can read the reviews, get details on the store (location, hours, etc.), and if the app is developed enough - write reviews, post pictures, and be a contributing member of the site.

Yelp has an API that seems pretty easy and robust, where requests are passed along like so

Sample Request:
http://api.yelp.com/business_review_search?term=yelp&lat=37.788022&long=-122.399797&radius=10&limit=5&ywsid=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

And you get a crapload of data back, all nicely formatted and easy to handle. More info here: http://www.yelp.com/developers

TBH, I would try and code it myself, but I'd only be able to create a backend, maybe (never coded for WM before.) The GUI is the most important part since a lot of the heavy lifting is done with the API (otherwise, we'd have to scrape and... ugh.)

Not sure how the network triangulation part works - I think I saw a guide or a framework somewhere on these forums. The GPS part, if I had to guess would be something like running the following when you open the app or switch to the app after an appropriate delay time:

gps = new Gps();
gps.LocationChanged +=
new LocationChangedEventHandler(gps_LocationChanged);
gps.Open();

void gps_LocationChanged(object sender, LocationChangedEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Position.LatitudeValid && args.Position.LongitudeValid)
{
currentPosition = args.Position;
UpdatePosition();
}
}
gps.Close();

Anyways, I'd be willing to put a bounty up, and I'm sure others would be willing to pay for it. I'll start off with a $20 bounty and hopefully someone else will be interested as well! :)

1.How do i backup the playlist created using HTC Audio Manager...

2. What is the easiest way to create a plylist for audio manager.. i know we can use WMP's playlist but some playlist just does not show up ...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mstevens:
I'd love to know this as well.

Most of the "answers" I've seen take the form of "just use [some other audio player]." I like the music tab and HTC Audio Manager just fine and don't really want to install something else.

The biggest problem is that I have several extensive playlists that I need to transfer from my 6.1 ROM to the new 6.5 one. Simply copying the AudioManager_Eng.vol seems to work in that the playlists show up. However, nothing will actually play (whether from a playlist or All Music or whatever). It works fine if the manager searches for and finds all the music files as is normal with a hard reset, but that means I have to build the playlists from scratch.

It would be really great if there were some way to backup/restore or export/import HTC Audio Manager playlists.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ramsfan_Jim:
Bump!

I need to know this as well. Having had a problem recently with Sprite Backup after flashing a new ROM, I lost all my playlists. As I have well over 10gb of music on the SD card, it has been a very painful process recreating them.

I now want a way of saving them to avoid the same problem in future.

Any ideas where they are stored, or how to back them up? Please?:confused:

HTC audio manager / playlists

Yes, the playlistmanager (playlistmgr-v0.7.7.1.cab) works. Its a solution for an annoying problem.

Be sure to save the playlist in the tab "HTC audio-manager" and after saving a soft reset is necessary.The Audiomanager scans and finds the playlist then.

Mediaplayer playlists (asx) are also recognized but the playlist stays empty and there's no playback.

According posts in a lot of fora the problems with the HTC Audio Manager occurs on many models and already last a very long while.

Its customer disdain to neglect that. Mind.....reputation comes by foot and leaves by horse
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ramsfan_Jim:
