Cooking a rom is another story altogether...I have as of yet not gone into cooking a rom....so unfortunately I cannot offer any advice about it.

in your write up on preperation, why do you have to download a rom if your trying to dump your own rom from your own x1? whats the purpose of that?

--- Guide ---

1) Download and preparation of files

A good preparation makes it much easier, download the following files:

ITSUtils - http://nah6.com/~itsme/itsutilsbin-20080923.zip
KovskyKitchen - http://norti.hu/xperia/kovskykitchen.zip
RUU_Signed UK Rom - RapidShare: Easy Filehosting (UK ROM) ????????????

Was too busy at work to pay attention....you do need to download that file...Will repost the link

thanks for the clarification. im new to this rom thing and trying to understand the process.

whats the purpose of this line?

5) Kovksy kitchen

- Open your Kovskykitchen folder.
- Copy your 4 raw files to the "baserom" folder.
- From the stock UK ROM extract the RUU_signed.nbh to Baserom folder as well. ??????


does it mean that i still need to download a different rom to make a backup of my own?

thanks claudio

I have yet to get clarification on this point myself but you are effectively making a copy of your rom...although it does utilise that rom for something, I am unclear as to what it uses it for.

I tried to flash my xperia, i copied the file kovsky.nbh in my microSD card and did the power button + volume down to bring the service screen and it just says Loading... and i waited for about 1h and didn't do nothing i had to reset. Can anybody help me i don't know what to do
I have now Windows 6.1 and tried to put 6.5.

a few more questions/ clarifications...i am from the US and i was wondering would it be possible to use a stock NAM ROM instead of the stock UK ROM? does it matter or not w/c ROM to use? i just have an impression that when i back up my phone using a UK ROM and then re-install it in my phone, i would lose access to the 850 Mhz 3G frequency ATT is using.

Hi!

Thanks for this great guide! The only problem i've got is that I can't download the uk stock rom. Do you think you can post it again or omething?

Thanks!
