How to flash Generic Rom without SEUS ? - XPERIA X2 General

I believe I looked everywhere here, searched, etc. BUT could not find HOW to flash the Generic Rom directly. Like putting the file on memory card and rename to kovsimg.nbh and after bootloader, voila its flashing (X1).
How to do this with the X2 ???
The Generic roms that are uploaded here have the ending 'software'. What does that mean??? So what to do with THAT ?
I will get my new X2i ("upgrading from X1") in 2 days and would like to be ready to rumble.
Thanks if anyone could answer.

you can't and i'm afraid that you will not do that

Flashapalooza is the only other program that SE uses to flash X2s...if you can get your hands on a version of it as well as the install files, you should be able to flash it to whichever software that you can find

Sounds good!!!!!! Anyone??????????????

I think that a SE sw, will still require a connection to grab some key from SE servers.
Maybe I'm wrong...
But I'm afraid I'm right

WM6 Backup?

Ok I want to do a full Backup of my Herald, so if it crash that i can go into Windows, fire up a program, pressing "restore old ROM" and it is the way i had backuped it.
I know some programs, that are storing backup datas like sms,contacts etc. - but thats not enough for me.
So is there a program that can fulfill my needs?
( and yes, i read a lot in the forum here - but i didn't found anything or i'm just a bit blind )

So does it dump the whole ROM ? I'm currently playing around with mtty... but its hard to find informations on the avaiable commands etc.
It does not make a ROM backup.

When you do a backup of your ppc with spb backup, it will backup everything that is on your device (ROM) that is not part of the ROM itself.
It means that all programs installed after a hard reset, all the databases (mails, contacts, notifications,...) all the registry, and all files not being part of the ROM.
So if you do a hard reset and you restore the backup it will be exactly the same as it when you did the backup. And I think that it is what you want.
Caution, if you do an OS up/downgrade, your backup is useless. This backup cannot be either installed on another device.
Cheers,
Fred
ok sweet - ty fred. another question: what if i changed the ROM - how to backup that ? no solution yet?

This is device dependent. With some of them, it is possible, with others it's not, for several reasons. If you don't find tools or someone who managed to do it and provided the way to do so, well you're stuck... I think dumping is not the biggest problem, the real problem is the restore stuff. Sorry, but it is so.

Fred
hehe ok ok - i would be a step closer to my goal if i would find a way to unlock the ROM/ break into, so i can change files in there...

What do you mean? If you're talking about doing it 'live', forget about that. But if you're talking about changing the contents of the Rom before doing the upgrade, well the tools are already existing and kitchens too (depending on the device)

Well ok - i searched my ass off through the forum, but i didn'T found any solution to get my current WM6 ROM out of the mobile phone ( so i can edit it ).

It should be an official Rom, am I right? If it is the case, download it on the official site and use NBHExtract to get the dump of the .nbh file and rebuild it. Have a look in hermes forum and in xda-wiki
Cheers,

Yeah it is official, but the thing is: there are no downloads avaiable yet. and thats the point so i'm a bit stucked here...

CUbe and Bioscroll

Hi
I don't want to install a whole new rom at this time
I am using the O2 UK WM6 Rom
WHats the best version of cube, htc home and scroll to install please
I've been searching but there seems to be loads of variations
I want to try this before going down the new Rom route
i have been where u are now
a word of advice m8 these developers know what they doing and if u upgrade that 02 rom it will slow to a halt thats why they tweak the whole thing to make it run well
i installed a rom 2 daays ago and it was 2 clicks they compiled everything together unzipped folder and click this then click that took 20 mins and the cube is flowing nicely http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342298&highlight=Artemis+Touch+3.01+full
theres what i used it even has all the extras built in alternative networks etc only thing i added was htc to get custom tabs i like cartoonie ones
hope that helps
Also im a noob user not an expert found it easy
I would pm meschle to ask him about his roms, but right now I dont wanna bother him w/ petty material questions. Meschle, I wish the best for you and your family.
So if anyone else w/ experience can help here's my question:
I downloaded his Artemis 3.01 Touch lite ROM and unzipped file. Now what do I do? Do I need to install the EnableRapi and Cert_SPCS cabs before going to step 1? Do I need to run Artemis_USPL first seperately? I borked my SMT5600 trying to put a WM6 rom on it and am very weary of doing it to my precious Artemis.
If anyone could help w/ simple instructs also thanks.
BTW,
My phone is
ARTE100
WM5
ROM 1.12.405.1 WWE
Radio 02.67.90
the Touch ROMs, when unzpped has 2 bat files. It's clearly named "step1", "step2".
Just follow. Shouldn't go wrong. Step1 is actually the USPL.
Ok got it to work but, man, what a wild ride. It's really fast and I recommend doing this ROM update rather than trying alot of cabs.
Hays, its well worth just doing the ROM update. If you use Meschle's ROMs, they are fast and soo stable.

so, is there a way of installing bioscroll/cube without changing the ROM? I can't use the USB cable to connect to a PC (i have to copy cabs onto Micro SD, then install). My USB circuit has blown up from charging in the car so syncing no longer works, and phone is out of warrenty!

Opera mini V4.1 upgrade

monday i noticed the upgrade available for opera mini. i tried to download it and i got an error that said it doesn'r recognize my phone. does anyone have the latest version?
I have been using it for a while. I'm using a newer version of Emerstec's Jbed, also. It download files now, which is a big plus for me! (Make sure you get the signed version.)
The only issue is that if you minimize it then maximize it again later, sometimes you can't control it after you minimize it again a few times. I'm not sure if that's an issue with OperaMini or Emerstec's Jbed, though.
ok, i git it
can you point me in the right direction?
Edit: The images were deleted.
i tried that one

i tried to download that one and it appeared as if it worked, but i thought the 4.1 version downloaded itself (no ore IE for downloads). i tried it out today, but it looks and acts the same. can you tell me how to view what version i have?
thanks
i got 4.1 but its not [?signed?]
i don't know if i'm using the correct terms or not, but i did get a v4.1 installed. my problem is that now when i try to go to a website, i get the attached prompts. so do i have an unsigned version? and if so, soes anyone have a signed v4.1 i can borrow? i tried to follow nieltoe's direction, but when i downloaded it, i never found it anywhere. this is so lame!
please help if you can
thanks
I would recommend deleting any and all versions of Opera Mini off of your device. If you want to make sure that Opera Mini is s0_ after uninstalling goto your devices File Explorer into "C:\Windows\Appdb\". In here you will find files named s0_ s0__d1 etc... Delete all all related files to that specific application. Be warned if Opera Mini is not your only Java application you run the risk of deleting that application. DO NOT DELETE anything other than files starting with s0_. This is specific to the shortcut that most people use in ROM cooking and will make it valid again after you install Opera Mini 4.1
If you are using a Herald or T-Mobile wing you most likely will get the unknown device warning.
Follow the pictures on the link I provided look inside the red boxes. You are going to want a signed version. I chose the 1st of 3 "Other Versions" on my device. After you install you will be offered to allow permissions always. That is what you want if you do not want the nag screens.
When you go to download it, just choose "Older or different version" or something like that and you'll see the option for the signed one.
i have tried and tried
i give up on this. i don't even know if its worth it. i was using the v4.1 yesterday, and i don't like the new download system. it doesn't allow you to continue browsing. the old version had IE downloading the file and you were able to browse in opera. i guess i'll grab an older version or just flash a new rom that has it. thanks anyway
Any solution to this yet? I have a wing and want to use the signed version to take advantage of the new features. There has to be a work around for this. I have yet to find one though.

I can not DL this for some reason. The Version I had before this just all of a sudden stop working saying Not Enough Space.

[Q] ROM Upgrade

It is possible to install a new ROM from another country of origin? Example: I bought my HTC HD mini here in the Middle East, when I download a new ROM I can download only @ the Middle East and Africa Select Country site, when I try to download to the Philippine Select Country site and Enter the serial # of my HTC HD mini it say's that "this software download is not suitable for your device" so... is there any solution?
Thanks
Yes it is possible. You can install a custom rom on your Mini.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694409
There is lots and lots of info about this. First try to do some searching then ask for help .
ednelh,
You can Install any HTC HD mini ROMs on your Device, all of them are suitable.
Just Download this File {DFT_SSPL_MINI.zip}, and one of the htc HD mini ROMs you like.
Thats it!

Because maybe it goes faster to extract the EXE and get the NBH. I did it that way, because if something goes wrong during ROM dev, I can rapidly flashback

[CAB] Windows Phone 8 update packages

Hi,
In the attachment you'll find the links to Windows Phone 8 update packages. So far, I haven't done much research on it. I haven't looked into possibilities to flash these packages to Windows Phone 8 devices. For now, the download-links for these packages are only meant for research-purposes.
The GDR2 update for the NOKIA Lumia 920 consists of a total of 498 cab-files. These files are OS update-packages and driver packages from NOKIA and QUALCOMM. There are a lot more cab-files than in the Windows Phone 7 updates and the files are much smaller. The update is probably split up into many small packages for better performance of OTA updates.
Edit:
Added GDR1 updates (captured by AlvinPhilemon)
Added GDR3 updated
Ciao,
Heathcliff74
hmmm.... what to do with it?
I think I can not update my Ascend W1 with that
as it looks to me , they got rid of the supercab's.
but they still use update,remove , canonical
and oem only uses spkg (same as for wp7.*)
mobilecore.updateos.spku_e43e93f600315a484bd7459ea66df61bf396832a.cab
baseos.mainos.halextensions.8960.spkg_2989d52c174d97ff90c2a9c4ffda264a7f18bca1.cab
nokiafirewall.spkr_f8143fae9eeded7f7fc1755978a25bfc78b71157.cab
HeathCliff! YES! It looks like the full crew is assembled now.
I'm going to flash back to the 5951 update, run fiddler on the phone and see if I can spoof the windows updates into applying to my 920 (if that will be possible)
Question, does anyone happen to have the Carrier codes for the carrier in Sweden, Spain, and Australia? Example ATT-US for AT&T and ROG-CA for Rogers. I need the equivalent of those for this fun little test.
Btw, it looks like MS hasn't implemented traditional over-usb method to install cabs. During R&D I believe they apply them directly to file system.

Well, it's not just file-copy. Provisioning-files and registry-files need to be applied. Also, the filenames of the binaries in the package are not the same as the target-filenames. It could be that a reboot triggers further installation. For example, there is PhoneProvisioning.exe...

This would be HUGE deal if we could find the cab that enables the FM radio on the 928.....and be able to install it.

Someone asked about FM Radio on the windows phone site and the answer from a Microsoft tech was that it was up to the carrier whether it would be unlocked in any future updates so I guess we have Verizon to thank.
Edit: It looks to be disabled in the OEMSetting.reg. If only we could write to the registry...

interesting! with this and Fiddler, we should be able to quite easily "trick" the phone in to installing "Missing" updates. I did that on my phone. I was able to install 200 additional "updates" onto my T-Mobile branded HTC 8x. This method should also work to get Wi-Fi calling on the 8x as well as non-t-mobile branded devices. Does anyone know what the name of the cab file is for the movial IMS update??
