Hi. I already did a search for this but didn't find any help for a Herald.
I tried updating to 6.1 and it would not work. It would start to install but then crash and start over again. I probably tried 20 times and it would not work...not my phone is stuck on this screen with Red, Green, Blue and White stripes. Is my phone dead? Is there any hope? Thanks in advance!
This question is asked at least one or 5 times a week. Please search.
If your SPL still says 4.0.0.0, just flash another ROM. Assuming you have HardSPL setup or you were using USPL.
If your SPL says 1.0.0.0, then follow this.
Sorry like I already mentioned in my post I could not find a thread specifically for the Herald so I made a post.
My screen says IPL 4.26.0002 and then SPL 4.26.0000.

There's a million threads on this for the Herald.
Anyhoo, have you tried just reflashing back to the stock ROM or another ROM?
Tell me exactly what you did to flash.
Went to T-Mobile site. Typed in my phone's info and downloaded the 6.1 update for Windows Mobile...followed the instructions to install. It would start installing and then stop or crash I can't remember exactly. But I tried many times. I called T-Mobile and they said I had to get a new phone. I've never flashed my phone or anything like that...I had Spb installed on it and that was it...
Well I took out my ol Wing and tried to do the update once again to remember what error I keep getting.
The update starts to install on my Wing as the bar loading bar starts to fill it stops and then tells me an error has occurred.
ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR
Some type of communication error. But I can recover. So I do and then I try again. I've done this like 20 times before. I don't know if that helps any but thats my problem...
First, find hardspl and flash then flash rom

Sounds like there's a problem with your computer talking to the phone. Try taking tmobile's ROM, take out the NBH, rename it to HERAIMG.nbh and place it into your SD card (formatted to FAT32.) Then turn on your phone while holding the camera button.

Wow guys thanks...I'll give these a try. I am using BootCamp to read my phone.
ivanmmj, do I need format the card using another phone or can I use a card reader. I don't have another phone I could use.

No. It's a 6.0 update.
I was updating from 6.0 to 6.1 and I am running XP in Bootcamp.

Wait...so I'm a noob...T-Mobile's ROM? Where do I get that? Do you mean the update file that I downloaded from T-Mobile? Thanks again!!! I hope this works! And will MS-DOS FAT work when I format the card? I am using Mac's Disk Utility and I don't get a FAT32 option.
Well I think I have the ROM actually. It's an EXE file so I'm not sure how I can go into it and rename a file inside of it. Sorry...my noob is showing huh? Here's what I downloaded awhile back that I think is the original ROM you are talking about.
RUU_Atlas_TMO_US_4[1].10.531.3_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship.exe
IT WORKED! Thanks!!!!

No problem. ^_^ Glad to hear that it worked. Were you able to flash it through a FAT format? Or were you able to format it to FAT32?
I have no clue what I'm doing wrong here.
I reformatted a SDHC card to FAT32 on my computer.
I put the new firmware (renamed to "Kovsimg.nbh") onto the card.
I turn it off, then turn it on using the volume down + power button method.
I see the 3 color stripes but then it tells me "No image found!"
Am I missing something here?
I made sure the file is actually Kovsimg.nbh and not .nbh.image
I also downloaded the firmware from both the rapishare and the megaupload mirrors.
I'm using an X1i and trying to flash to the UK Generic R2A.
You forgot to Hard-SPL your phone first! Search for it over here and youll find it.
I was under the impression Hard SPL wasnt needed if the rom I'm flashing to is official?
If it is an "official" SE ROM release then it doen't need HSPL.
Yea it is, or at least its supposed to be.
Any idea whats wrong?
Maybe I should just use SEUS?

Plus if you have a locked device, the SD update won't work, only with the provider's ROM update, I think.

This might sound insulting, but did you actually unpack the rar, or did you (as I did firstly) just rename the rar-file to Kovsimg.nbh?
-lb
The phone is unlocked. Bought it that way.
And I did unpack the rar :\
No clue whats going on here >.<

Where did you get the rom from? xda or other? Did you try SE Update (SEUS)?
try to update using the SE Update (SEUS), just updated mine from SEUS and everything seem to be working fine.

Got it from the stickied thread here. Tried both the rapidshare and the megaupload mirrors.
SEUS it is I guess... I heard that took a painfully long time though :|
Ok... new problem...
SEUS doesnt do anything after I finish all the steps and plug the USB cable into my phone at the tri color screen...
EDIT: nevermind.. restarted SEUS and its working now.. slowly...
hey...
i cant install any custom rom on my xperia.
i installed HARD SPL.
and during the bootloader...
it says what it suppose to say like in the guide[of biovolt]
i meant during the bootloader...when the tri color screen appears.
it says
KOVS110
SPL-0.72. 01iNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
i formatted my memory card. [fat 32]
then i put the rom, on the root of the memory.
naming it Kovsimg.nbh
[and yes there is nothing but Kovsimg.nbh]
even then...
it says no image found during the bootloader.
anyone! help me!
please....
Did you try to use other Roms?
everything looks ok there should not be a problem. maybe your Kovsimg.nbh is corrupt.
there als can be a transfer fail, i had this problem i copy it to my sd card but couldn't flash it. when you copiyed the nbh to sd card don't pull it out wait a moment then try to take out the cable/sd card. this is what i did and worked for me.

yes , i did.
about 5 roms.
and it's not corrupted...
cause i always check...
even inside my phone via file manager also.
maybe it's my micro sd.
that's the problem.

Then you know what to do. Try other sd cards.
you can find the problem by trial&error method. what it means is you just have to try different things to find whats wrong it is one off the most used methods.

i agree
thank you

sorry for the trouble!
I have read about 10 pages of charging and syncing problems but they weren't like mine. I flashed hardspl 3.34 and then it all went bad. When it is turned on it wont charge from wall/car/usb. When I put it into bootloader, it seems like my computer recognizes it (it asks me if I want to safely remove hardware) but windows mobile device center doesn't say it's connected, nor does it show up in computer. I did a hard reset and all that. It still has original 6.1 rom. Should I flash another spl? Or another rom? Any suggestions? I really hope I didn't f up my tilt. I finally got it after I bricked my wizard a year ago.

Well, if you are in bootloader and you got the USB sign on it you are ok. Try to flash another rom or reflash your stock rom.
Yes bootloader seems to work and says usb. I think what I did was flashed hardspl 3.29 following the directions in the "flashing your first kaiser rom" thread. But when I flashed 3.34, I flashed it using usb and not an sd card like it said. I just want to go back to original spl and rom.

Let's try this one my friend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568 probably you can revert back to the original spl and stock rom
What about these steps?
11. Download pof's SSPL-KAIS.exe and copy it to your phone
12. Run SSPL.KAIS.exe from your phone (make sure you do this on your actual device and not your PC)
I can't do them because my phone won't sync to my computer.

lol, I know that's exactly what I did. I was just saying, that I think that has something to do with it not charging and syncing. I'm not sure though, because I'm not a pro at flashing and all that. I can rebuild an engine, but I can't flash a stupid rom on a phone . Whatever I have to do to fix it, will have to work the next time because I only have about 60% battery left.

You can upgrade SPL via SD but you will need a WM donor phone (spare) or a card reader to format the sd card. Try that and let us know if that worked

My hp laptop conveniently has an sd card reader.
Ok, to install from sd card, I put stock att hardspl RUU_signed.nbh and KAISDIAG.NBH into sd card, pop it in and go to bootloader? Correct?

happy new year to u dude but i got spl 5 so the whole problem with that makes things harder any ideas
there is a couple of ways mentioned here.
put phone into bootloader and install stock standard nodo rom. that will downgrade your hspl. there is a thread ....how to downgrade hspl with more detail.
just follow the instructions. once u have downgraded then you can install cotulla hspl and after that the custom rom
cheers
