Hi, all
My Hermes' touch screen is dead. I returned it to softbank to get it fixed, but it was sent back to me from the manufacturer. The manufacturer report says that it is because I changed the ROM. Yes I did. You can read part of history of ROMs I ever tried.
Now, I need to reinstall the original WM5 Japanese version as I got it for the first time. I tried to find the ROM in the CD but there is nothing except ms office.
Does anyone have WM5 Japanese version, so I can download it and install it to my hermes?
I heard it that I have to modified the nbh file since I installed HardSPL already? How to modify nbh file?
Thanks in advance..
Sorry,
I got the ROM from this
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
However, the screen alignment software doesn't work. It works when I use it to flash my hermes into other English ROM.
I got the screen alignment software from this

Any help??
I failed to convince softbank x01ht manufacturer to get my device fixed. sadly, i think it's the end of the toy.
RIP my Softbank X01HT, July 24th 2008.
Damn SoftBank, its always like this. We just HAVE to be sure to downgrade to original ROMs when we deal with them...
What did they actually say to you?

what I saw from the report the manufacturer sent with my hermes back to softbank shop was they didn't accept the phone coz the ROM has been changed.
My fault is I didn't change it to Japanese ROM first before sending it. I did try but I couldn't by passing the screen alignment screen in Japanese ROM. Screen alignment software doesn't work in Japanese ROM.
I thing I knew the culprit. I should have removed the .lnk file in windows folder after flashing. But it's too late now..
Do not use sony update service just yet
Although Sony DO NOT yet have a firmware update for the Xperia, the update service still gives you the option to restore the phone by reinstalling the currant firmware version.
But DO NOT USE THE UPDATE SERVICE JUST YET, consult sony technical service first, if you are experiencing problems and are looking to restore via update service. (vista 32 bit, i also know one case on windows xp from a xperia user)
I carried an update to restore the original firmware and the phone got blocked(bricked) update stops at 11%
i had to send it back and purchase a new xperia.
Excellent phone, hope all Xperia users are enjoying the experiences with X1
WHAT??!?!?!?!? They didn't exchange it or something?
i dont understand, this is windows mobile, why would we need to upgrade firmware? If anything, we just need to hard reset the phone and its back to factory. I mean there are custom roms but we cant flash it until we have a hard spl
Updates
you wanna be able to update the phone to fix bugs in the FW, like the Bluetooth disabling itself issue, or the panels being slow etc.
As to y u would wanna re install the existing FW, some people might have messed around and bricked their phone, a quick solution would be to reinstall the FW.
I can help you with flashing to generic firmware on X1.
Just send me a PM.
I have uploaded the list of firmwares available.
Check out the attachment.
I bought a new X1
I bought a new X1 but with Windows Mobile in Swedish. I tried different ROM images but still I cannot get the English version. Can you help me with an working image
Please

Can you please help me, and tell me where I can download the Generic AT Rom for X1, I need to send it back, but was not able to get this ROM? even the Update service of SE, there is no option to restore, it say only, that there is no new software for it.
Please help, and is there any special SPL I need to use?
thanks in advance.
I'm glad I came across this thread. I was about check for updates but I sure wouldn't have reinstalled the same firmware version. Anyway, I guess I should just wait for the next update and update the phone after I find out how it makes the phone better.
... to late, ive already updated it with the latest dutch vodafone rom version. luckly it didnt brick.
Hi Guys!
Just thought I'd give you a heads up over on this section of the board that the latest GENERIC_UK R2A firmware that a LOT of people have been waiting for is NOW AVAILABLE at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
Have at it guys! We've been waiting ages for this baby!
And please thank PavelX1 and his anonymous friend for this!
could you maybe also give us a heads up if the generic_NL r2 comes out? I know alot of people are waiting for that aswell!
Thanx anyway to both you and pavel (and friend)

it's also in that thread
All available ROMS are also listed in the XPERIA ROM LIBRARY too. Some of them already have FTP mirrors
You should take a look
Happy flashing
so is UK_Generic R2A also available through SEUS??
what are the improvements in this new rom you guys? i'm hesitant to flash bc i'm too lazy to backup all my junk... unless of course this rom has some pretty sweet improvements. judging by the other r2a roms though, there are only minor bug fixes and slight speed improvement... if it's worth it though, you guys let me know
tnx for the heads up. gona use seus to update later.
can somebody just give me a heads up .. I heard that there is new firmware so I ran the SE update software but it says that I already have the latest version.. ?
did something go wrong or whats happening? .. I m a uk user
thanks

EDITED: As of JAN 31 2009, these ROMS (UK, FR, SPAIN) ARE NOT "officialy released", thus SEUS WILL NOT UPDATE
will restoring from spb backup after flashing to this new rom be o.k.? or will i have to manually install everything again? i'm asking because of the system files being backed-up as well, i dont want to overwrite anything from the new rom. thanks
Thanks!
Yeah! Been waiting for this too.
am trying to update my rom with seus but seus is displaying "the software in your phone is up-to-date" and theres no option to "continue anyway"..
weird...
Cos it is not officially released by SE yet.
^o ok then. maybe the service centers can help. or ill just update another time
New FW generic uk is crap
I have just made the flash and played around for 30 minutes... its all crap! It is slower now, no real improvements that I could find. Besides those updates of radio, browser (still NO flash support!), etc.
Nothing of value to me. The camera still sucks big time, still NO zoom for 3MP and the quality still bad.
Again, I could not find any real improvement and/or feature enhancement. Too bad, waited and waited... just to be disappointed again by SE. Perhaps its time after all to move on to a different brand.
michaelthemage I updated to the new r2a rom too, and after like 2 hrs i was about too flash back my old rom, but then i tried to soft reset, and it worked a little bit better, then using it for a couple of days, the performance increased and became stable, i'm most satisfied with the media panel that now feels much quicker, i can now browse my images as fast as i want, the system became overall faster and snappier, but it's really weird that the performance increased gradually,
So if I were you i'd give it 2 days before flashing back !
P.S i wanted to know if the now released uk rom will be the same as the one officialy released by SE or if there is any chance SE could improve it till the official release date ???
im a n00b
hey
m really excited about the new rom. but i had a few question and as u can see my post count. im new to this world and a bit of a noob. so i would be greatfull if u take time to reply my idiot question.
1. does TouchFlo3D work with the new rom.
2. i hear that some people flash without doing HardSPL. is that safe
3. the image file i downloaded is named GENERIC_UK.image . do i rename THIS file to Kovsimg.nbh or some other .nbh file.
thank you for ur time
m using generic uk rom at the moment

your no idiot, just as you stated: a noob
1. yes
2. yes, because its official rom. hard-spl is needed to unlock so you can flash custom roms or perhaps stock roms with other languages.
3. rename it to ruu_signed.nbh or Kovsimg.nbh if you do from sd-card
Just did the update, SD card method worked fine, it lasted only 10 minutes. Unfortunately I have a 210 MB sprite backup file, so I needed to delete some custom files and choose not to restore some unnecessary ones before the restore. If you are using Sprite Backup too, be sure to choose Level 2 as the restore option (Level 1 did not work fully, unfortunately).
Restoring now...
Someone cooking R2A UK ROM already?
I was gonna switch to the iphone before this rom, but now......
Some improvements i have noticed:
1: Boot time is much faster.
2: iGo08 now takes about 10 seconds to load up instead of over 30!
3: Infact pretty much all programs load much faster than the previous rom.
4. PanelSwitching is faster.
5: Phone signal is much better and more consistant (im on 3UK)
6. General Speed improvements all round.
Not fixed/worse:
1. On the sony ericsson panel i still cant get weather updates on my city/town (Doncaster UK) even though its a city i can select.
2. Media Panel now does not detect photos in my storage card stored in folder my documents/mypictures. Now previously taken pictures have to be stored in my pictures in the storage card root directory.
Overall a very good update, im impressed, looks like i have an iphone to sell!

Give people a little more information. What ROM did you have, and what's the new one?
Odds are the old one is still located here, somewhere, for you to put back onto your phone.
this shouldn't have happened. try to do a hard reset or manually re-update (flash) ur x1.
THis is alarming news, Microsoft Office & POwerpoint is the only reason I bought the X1 over the iphone, I hope your wrong, and you used an unnoficial ROM , or its on there but under a different heading or folder.
Everytime I go the UK update service it says my phone is up to date no update avaliable, official UK ROM is not released yet.

alarming? R2AA Generic_UK still has office mobile inside... don't use SEUS, just upgrade manually from the ones released in the Roms forums. They work like a charm and fix bugs of R1AA.
bharat4ever, check your start menu, it should be in a link from the popup, not in programs menu.
also as stated, do a hardreset, not necesary but recomended.
Hey, before everybody cracks up here, just look under the START Menu, right after the Today!
Another way to "test" if its there, just open a doc in the phone.
After that... run crazy!
I had taken an SPB full backup, and i restored the entire thing... now my office is there

I have upday my x1 & did not have any problem for my office files
Just updated my firmware using SEUS today as well. No problems at all. Office is still there.
Office is not deleted by the new firmware.
If you don't have office shortcut in "programs" is normal, the Office shortcut is in the start up menu.
If you want it to appear with the programs you will have to unselect it from the startup menu.

Hello All i Have Updated to R3AA010(from here) Like to tell u and answer all ur question u will ask ill try.But till now from what i found is the following:
- The keys where u type the password to unlock ur phone change the color to brighter,and got a bit faster when u start up ur phone.
- when u press X butten it and flip ur scren to go landscap mode the panels in the R1A & R2A used to stop for less than a sec or so doesnt turn clean but in the R3A u flip the screan with in 0.5sec or less the panels rotate with no stops so clean...but didnt solve the idea of message sent...
- one of the great thing i find fixed is the sms texting! i used to write when i had the R1A and R2A the text doesnt apper directly only after a while it appers what i wrote at the same time even if it was update new while in the R3A this is sloved which is a good thing for those who write fast on the X1s Keybord...
- the Comm Manager as how it chaged from R1A to R2A it also change in R3A the font size & the speed!
- enter ur File Explorer go to windows in the R1A&R2A it takes time but it is solved in R3A its fast count till 4 it opens n u can work normaly...
- the media panel!!!all ask about its performenc!first time u turn it on it is so slow till it updates all the files video and surfing in it is faster in a way for me didnt find much diffrence..(but no radio and not the new media panel sad)
- Touch Quality Improved
ill add what u ask and ill add what i find new
using, R3AA010 Generic_uk
ROM version 1.05.931.10
ROM Date: 04/23/09
Radio version: 1.14.25.55
Protocol V.: 52.65.25.34U (dont knw what is this for)
ExtPkg V.: 1.0.11851.61265 (dont knw what is this for)
i have a question if i make backup by spbBackup then upgrade to R3A then restore the backup again it will be R3A or restore to R2A and are all programs restore well ?
it depands on what r u backing up, if ur backing up the softwear R2A then u will go back to it, but if ur backing up the files, contacts, documents,& personal stuff... they will return as they where & u will have the R3A normaly...i keep my things on the pc which i find better 4me to keep in on my harddisk...
i make a full backup with programs
since u r useing SPB Backup i search a bit u have lots of options it will give u when u download the upgrade ROM there is customize restore u will restore the things u want to be restored ur contacts sms ur programs and all that with out going back to the old ROM n it seems that the softwear will knw that u have upgreaded ur ROM so it will give u lots of options!!!!!
thanks
but i heard that R3A has a lot of problem
Will till now i had no problems with it its just a bug fix nothing more people wanted more and sony ericsson didnt give it made every1 down i had it for 4days n im fine with it atlest it is better than R1A & R2A... propzzzzzz
me,
I installed and now I am in trouble, my second password from the sim card is not showing anymore, the X panel are not working, I installed the active, and the R3a, and, I can't close down the phone, I also have some kind of flickerings with the screen....
Sorry, and, of course no good backup anymore.....
Also, when I uninstalled, made a soft reset, and touch the X for pannel, I received a message telling me, no more Panels Manager...? then I reinstalled the R3A, and now, kaput....
the best thing is when u update is to remove all ur passcodes because lots of time they dont work after an update or a hared rest!
about ur panels instaling the panel manager which is given alon is diffrent completly from the one that comes with the R3A...
so as what u did reinstalling is the good idea or downgread to R2A till the R3A on seus or get a frish copy of the R3A..

Anyone knows when will R3AA out officially on SEUS? I hear somebody say it will be out in June. Let's see!!!
Hy ....
Im confused about R3 update ..... , its official update ??
If not , Should I install a fresh R2A and then update to R3A ?
Its official if its on SEUS (SE Update Service).
It has been officially released in some markets only -eg in Germany members have been offered, and many have flashed to, the updated ROM (R3A) via SEUS.
I'm in the UK and SEUS is still telling me I already have the most up to date version (R2A) ...so I wait like you
kkarnaout thanks for your wonderful help.
I would like to install the R3A on my phone too. Can u tell me where did u find the GENERIC UK version for download.
Also questions for u:
1) Does S2U2 work on R3?
2) Does Point UI work on R3?
3) has there been improvement on network coverage?
4) Is the phone any louder? I mean for the ring tones.
5) Has it hanged even once after u have the R3. If yes when was it?

I'm not sure about S2U2, but I have pointui work on my R3 UK ROM. not sure about the network coverage, but the video playback is wonderful (used to have stuttering in the youtube playback, but it's smooth in the R3 ROM)
I dont' notice any much louder on the phone, but I do think the phone is already loud by itself, alot of time it's the hand that's blocking the speaker that makes the phone sound softer than it's actually do.
