      To install... follow the procedure:

      a. Download ROM Image from the links provided in the post.
      b. If ZIP/RAR file then unzip/unrar file to your desired location.
      c. Check the extension of the extracted file. If it is .image then change it to .nbh.
      d. Rename the file to Kovsimg. So now the file-name with extension should be Kovsimg.nbh.
      e. Connect your Xperia to your PC/Laptop.
      f. Copy the Kovsimg.nbh file to your Xperia's MicroSD Card's root folder.
      g. Shut Down Xperia.
      h. First hold the volume down key and with that pressed, press the power button.
      i. Keep both buttons pressed and Xperia will boot up into a screen with colored lines.
      j. It will automatically detect your NBH file on the memory card. If prompted for confirmation to update, let it update. (Yes! you can release the buttons)

      Best of Luck!

        Here are some things that have been noticed so far with this update firmware :

        * The device now boots faster.

        * Faster menus - switching tabs in settings is quicker.

        * Programs launch quicker and file explorer is quick in loading folders.

        * The Vodafone ROM update (not sure if others have this) includes a couple of other additional trial games including Bubble Bash, Block Breaker Deluxe, and Tetris Mania.

        * Bluetooth Problem reported to be fixed. (I didn’t face any bluetooth problems with the old software and am not facing any now.)

        * Wi-Fi bug fixed.

        * Panel animation is a bit smoother, Overall a faster panels experience.

        * Video playback has improved a lot! CP benchmark on a video resulted in 90-92% on the old ROM and is now increased to 98%.

        * Word prediction in most text-boxes.

        * Media Panel improvements including; music indexing is a lot faster, image scrolling is almost as smooth as it should be, changing tracks show information about the track at the bottom of the screen, and most importantly it now only shows pictures from the My Pictures and Camera folders on the main and internal storage – say goodbye to all those images from program files and windows showing up.

        * Camera improvements include faster focus lock and more stable focus. Preview is also smoother and introduces a new setting letting you define the frame rate to use for the video to shoot.

        * Furthermore, I think they updated the 3D drivers too. TouchFlo 3D is running way smooth - especially the Pictures and Media tabs! (flicking through pictures and music is quick and smooth) + Slide2Play is performing much better with this new updated ROM; quicker and smoother movement in landscape, switches album/song images correctly on song change, and so on.

          Please my good friends, does anyone know how to simply upgrade the X1 firmware, since i understand it helps the processing speed. I noticed that after installing the facebook panel, my phone slows down while being accessed.

          Secondly, is there any application that can be used without bugs for G-talk on X1?

          Regards,
          Joey

                  Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970iam sorry bro

                  have you heard that HTC just manufacture the x1 and not made it?

                  i can tell you, x1 is made by SE..

                  Media player is made by SE, we all know that SE can make Music and video parts by their shelves even no one phone of HTC has VGA video resolution.Yes SE has good image of camera and walkman phone.

                  Window mobile is made by microsoft

                  Google and facebook are not made by HTC

                  Is the X1 made by HTC?

                  remember, x1 has WVGA screen first then HTC HD, does it mean HTC HD copied X1?

                  we talk with facts

                                1-Touch screen has to be tapped by the stylus, using the finger is irritating because its not acurate (no way to compare it with the iphone 3g touch screen).
                                2-The bottons are not smooth and hard to use
                                3-The optical joystick still needs a lot of improvement before beeing officaly used in a phone.

                                    i just got an xperia after using htc tytn for more than a year.
                                    i find the front buttons very uncomfortable and hard. my thump is already aching from one day use and i constantly have to use the stylus instead.
                                    anybody has the same problem?
