Video Tutorials (Backing Up & Installing A Rom + Hard_SPL or Stock_SPL)

BioVolt · Mar 25, 2009

Hi all,

So i have made these video tutorials / guides on how to do some of the things which people are scared to do, and to show just how easy it all is, so that maybe some more people will take the leap and have more fun with their X1.

These guides were made awhile ago and have been available on www.xperiax1.net forums where I am much more active and am always trying to help people where possible.

So use them, dont use them, thats up to you...

Great Job! Just watched no.4 & 5, very clear (My only slight crtiscism is that they are overly long you could chop some file transfer sections out)
Keep up the good work

dogans · Mar 25, 2009

Great initiative there mate

I agree with THJahar, that you could possibly cut the videos a little shorter, but overall a great job

smaberg · Mar 25, 2009

FINALY!!!!!!

This will sure put off steam from us cook's

This is what i call a great initiative. THANKS M8

PS: I'll ask ITJE to make this sticky!

methodz · Mar 25, 2009

i am a new user and havent watched the videos yet, but if they are what i think they are then this should answer a lot of questions for people and limit redundant posts throughout the threads.

why dont you youtube them and just link us vs download method? maybe someone will do that. great job, thanks.

Dadaism · Mar 25, 2009

nice work.

but new users should still read the forums if they dont know what a rom or hardspl is.

zhangn · Mar 26, 2009

Fulgore69 · Mar 26, 2009

Thanks this will help a lot of people...

MykeChester · Mar 26, 2009

Megaupload???

How about uploading it on youtube? so that we can watch it on our beloved Xperia?

BioVolt · Mar 26, 2009

If anybody is willing to try and upload them to youtube they can give it a try, unfortunately I attempted to do so, but as some of you have mentioned they are quite lengthy and it was not accepted on youtube

Also I wanted to keep the quality of the videos intact so that's why i provided the original videos I created.

Thanks for all the great response

Ganondolf · Mar 26, 2009

if i install a custom rom will my spb backup work the same as it would restoring it to a new offical rom (r1 to r2 with a forced rom upgrade)?

Im mean the non rom data (panels,PIM, software etc)

yingyotc · Mar 26, 2009

I'm pretty sure this is the best guideline place if you love to cook your SEX1 or WM machine.

Juzzaa · Mar 26, 2009

BioVolt is my hero, very nice video mate.
This will help all the scary people

kinnyfaifai · Mar 27, 2009

Excellent. Just got myself an X1, this will really come handy.

Many thanks!

amitagrawal · Apr 1, 2009

once again... great job on these videos.. great users on this forum. welldone.

bobbanswe · Apr 13, 2009

Thanks man for these videos!!!!! Finally I dare to flash to a custom rom which I have longing for a lot! THANKS!

Xkan · Apr 16, 2009

Great videos! Now I have a backup of my R2A and that's really great.

Thank you very much

If I would flash a custom ROM and flash back my backup, would there all programs be included, and is is unproblematic that I've put the UK ROM in the kitchen together with my German ROM files from my X1?

OK I checked my backup and it seems to work, but only the default data is backuped, not my custom programs... and it was German if I remeber correctly...
