Those Xperiancers who have the Generic UK ROM and have been holding out on updating their device in wait of the R2 release of the ROM can now breathe easy. Yes! Sony Ericsson has finally released the updated Generic UK ROM. Why the delay? No idea. I’m downloading the updated firmware now to move from the Vodafone UK R2 ROM to the Generic R2 ROM. To download, go here. (Thank you PavelX1 at XDA Forums for allowing easy access to these ROM files)
Ever since I got my Xperia, I have been following the XDA Forums closely. itje at XDA Forums has continuously grabbed my attention, most recently with the Touch Flo 3D Landscape (from Touch Pro 2) custom ROM. Though it started off as a Beta with tons of issues, he updated the ROM to a new Beta version from time to time with various fixes and additions. He recently released the final version of his Custom ROM (with of course Touch Flo 3D taken from the prototype models of Pro 2), and since then i have had the best Xperiance with my Xperia. The Custom ROM is by far the best ROM i have used so far on my Xperia. Really great performance and fast speed. Touch Flo 3D itself is running way better than i have ever tested it before. Thank you itje for a great Xperiance! If you want to give this custom ROM a try, head on here . Note : Installing a Custom ROM requires HardSPL. HardSPL your Xperia at your own risk.

i'm kind of confused right with all this. i guess its too much tech for my brain to handle.
my question is, what is this GENERIC UPDATE? what does it do? i don't seem to get what the HARD SPL is as well.
i went to the xda-developers page -> then to the rapidshare with all of the updates. i dont know which one to download. there were like 3 UK ones. i'm in the middle east by the way. so which one should i download?
and i tried update my x1 using the UPDATE SERVICE but it kept "identifying ..." for like 3 hours. and i tried it again and it didn't even reach that part.
I'M LOST WHAT SHOULD I DO?
I am in Pakistan, and i'm using the Generic UK ROM.
As for HardSPL... don't worry about that one. You usually need that to flash a custom ROM that can't be applied directly. Here you don't need that.
Best of luck!
