Can someone give me a clearly answer? I am really confused about rom update!

hi, Just received my X1 yesterday. The os rom/radio rom on my phone are older version. I am going to update both of them. I have read a lots about rom upgrade on this site, but I am now confused that nearlly every post saying need to re-flash the SPL rom first before doing any update. My question is do i need to flash the SPL first if I just want to upgrade to the generic rom? For example, the rom on my phone currentlly is UK(probably customised for O2) version, now I just want to flash to a newer verison of UK os rom and radio rom( I don't want to mass up the SPL rom yet, just in case there is any problem with my phone). Can someone give me a answer?
Thx.

the uk generic rom is an official rom. so no need to flash spl. im not sure abt the radio rom.

Thanks mate. I am still waitting for some to help me out!

You need to flash spl with hardspl when you will try one of the custom roms on that site here and when you download a radio from this site...
You don't need to flash hardspl, when you update from s/e update service from you computer

just use the sony ericsson update service (seus)
however im not certain if theres an o2 update out yet, if yours is o2 branded
however, youve only had your device for 1 day! dont you think itd be a good idea to try using it before you start messing? good idea t

Also
Don't forget, my VOda was able to install the GENERIC UK without HardSPL so it's possible 02 should work also, because they don't lock their top end phones. (My Voda UK is also SIM-Free).

This all depends on if the stock TmoUK rom includes a radio rom that is sim locked really. Personally, i wouldn't update unless i knew there was something in the new rom that would fix a problem i was having.

i downloaded RUU_Leo_TMO_UK_1.72.110.4_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship Firmware

That will probably sim lock the phone if it came sim locked.

Search for and download Dutty's NBH Tool. Use it to extract the NBH into individual NB files and then rebuild the NBH file containing only the OS and SPLASH files.
If you do it correctly, you can flash the ROM safely to your phone without the risk of re-locking the SIM due to the radio and you won't need to worry about changing the SPL and re-locking that either.

thanks for the replay but i dont know how exactly i suppose to do that

the Rom RUU EXE file and dutty can open nbh

Why not just just flash the HTC 1.66 WWE ROM rather than the T-Mobile version (1.72)? It is the same but without the T-Mobile guff. That is what I have done with my T-MUK HD2.

I flashed mine with the 1.66 WWE rom to get shot of the T-Mobile stuff, and all is well. It did not remove the unlock. I tried a cooked rom and different radio rom a while back and that was fine also.
Hope this helps,
Chris.

you mean it is ok to flash RUU_Leo_TMO_UK_1.72.110.4_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship rom without any troubles.

err no he said that he flashed the generic 1.66 rom (which is sim unlocked anyway) and that was ok. what you have is the tmouk branded 1.72 rom that shipped on the phone. This also includes the radio rom that shipped with the phone THAT IS SIM LOCKED. If you flash the file you have without removing the radio rom from it you will effectively restore your phone to the as shipped state.
AND IT WILL BE SIM LOCKED AGAIN!!

Can someone please answer me if it is ok to flash that Rom . if not please provide me with the same rom but without the sim lock

Original ROM need, HELP!

Hello people,
I´m trying to unbrand my Vodafone Spain Trophy with the upgrade 1.10, but i try to unbrand with cable Y and a Sparimg.nbh from the 1.20! =(
Now the Trophy wont start, it stop in HTC logo...
I´m trying to load the 1.10 Sparimg.nbh to see if correct the problem.
Can anyone give me a original rom to my Trophy, so i can get it work again and try to unbrand...
Regards

Success load the 1.10 ROM, but seem to continue branded, because it still show vodafone logo...
Anyone can help me?

Now trying to downgrade the 1.10 vodafone Spain to the Europe 1.09...
Already try with 1.10 Vodafone Spain Rom, but still branded and still get the Error Vendor ID when upload the 1.20...
Regards

Don´t need the original ROM, just trie to Update with 1.10 Europe unbranded.
For those ho want to update a unbranded ROM and get the Vendor ID error from the NoDo ROM, try to make a goldcard with the ROM, changing the name "RUU_" to "Sparimg" and put all the files into the goldcard and voilá, the Trophy is Updated..
