0. Make sure your phone battery is fully charged.
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Remove and reinsert the phone battery.
3. Press and hold first the volume down button on the phone and then the phone power button.
4. Continue holding the two buttons (volume down + power button) down until the phone display turns on and displays colored stripes.
5. Release the buttons.
6. Attach the USB-mini cable to the phone and the PC.
7. Take a cold beer :).

8. Follow included instructions.
9. Read again.

10. Start playing with your device


I have also attached some technical guides together with mechanical/electrical repair manuals which includes assembly and disassembly hints, I really do hope the community finds them useful. If you are missing something, don't hesitate to PM me or you can mention in this thread what you really are looking for.

It is required that you've got a security unlocked phone (SuperCID with HardSPL) for being able to use the ROM images linked above!

I tried UK IT SE versions, they all stoped at either 10% or 11%.

Now I cant use my phone anymore, it shows a four color screen(red green blue and white),
and says that

KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707

Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again

Serial

--
I tried to use RUU to recover the process, but it didn't work, always stops at 10%
I am not an engineer, don't know much about it, could anymore one just tell me how to make my phone work again, I just want the SE system back, I am done with flashing the ROM. thanks

Its a happy day again !!! Yipiii

1. Download mtty.exe
2. Disable activesync (connection settings -> uncheck "allow usb connections")
3. Connect your x1 to PC using USB cable.
4. Open mtty, select USB port and click OK.
5. Hit ENTER twice, you should see the "Cmd>" prompt.
6. Type the command "boot"

and its alive again but after restart need mtty to boot again.

No, it doesn't work on my phone

Try this
Code:
MTTY (How to fix a bad ROM flash!) Hi,

I didn't see any post about using MTTY on Kaiser.

If I did a bad ROM flash with my previous device (HTC Universal), I could always fix this by clearing the FAT table with MTTY.


Believe me... if you flash and it stops ad 85% you will be very happy if you can use this tool!



Reason I started this thread is to help out people who are having such a problem with there Kaiser!


This is the correct procedure to get you out of trouble



1. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete)
kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe

2. put your device into the cradle

3. Run mtty and Choose WCEUSBSH001 in 'PORT' (if it doesn't show then you didn't stop all active sync processes above!)

4. type "set 16 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset. (for some devices it can also be "set 14 0")

5. type "task 8" to get your device formatted

6. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot

7. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.


Incase of an emergency it could be very helpfull I think!

Thank you all for providing the input in this thread so I could make this small user manual!

Happy flashing!
Search for MTTY ver 1[1].42 or other, this is from our forum. It work's on Kaiser, maybe will work on xperia. And I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE WITH THIS:)

    Daily build :)
    New version currently on test.
    http://www.file-upload.net/download-4077014/update.zip.html
    Updated minimum voltage (from 3.6V to 3.35V, from approximative tests).
    Sorry for these multiples versions, it's so long to test a battery configuration.
    When it will be really ok for battery, i will post package in a new thread in ROM category and use it for next versions.

    Edit :
    Special release for not carefull people.
    If like me you do not care about your phone, drop it, keep it on back pocket, sit down on it, etc ... and your volume buttons do not work any more, i mapped the right menu and red phone (in the right front keys), that are no very usefull, to control volume :
    http://www.file-upload.net/download-4077995/update.zip.html

    Edit2 : Still a battery problem remaining, when let charging while allready indicates 100%, accum battery chip register continues growing, so, when discharging, keeps a long time at 100% and falls suddenly.
    I'm looking at a good way to desactivate charge when a limit is reached.

    Edit 3
    Daily build 1st february
    !new url, zip was wrong ! http://www.file-upload.net/download-4079282/update-feb1.zip.html
    Main modification is desactivating charge when 100% or max voltage reached, in order to stop battery chip accum value growing forever (making indicator sticking at 100%) and preventing hot battery when pluged.
    Currently testing.
    Maybe a new version tomorow, otherwise on monday.

    Edit 4
    Dayly build ...
    Yestertay's one was wrong about ratio, you could use only 1/4 of battery capacity.

    not good ... removed link

    I'll retry this evening or tomorow.

    Hi.
    Testing complete decharging yesterday night.
    Found problem in " if battery voltage is < 3.3V and depleting, we assume it's almost empty" part. This part does not work correctly, use wrong values and write wrong information in CURRENT_ACCUM registry. So when battery becomes low, silly values in charge percents. Removed it.
    Charged completly during night to calculate a better ratio for accum values (100% was too early).
    Here is new version, i'm testing now complete discharging.
    #3 version : dl.free.fr/kQuPjJFKq
