When you reboot your phone, what does it show for IPL and SPL currently? Have you rebooted your PC to see if that clears the problem? Try pulling out your SD card if you have one in the phone. Have you tried to do this from a different PC? You may want to find a copy of the wizard love rom and flash that to see if it does the same thing...

me to
so none of those things worked. i havent tried the other comp thing but what do we do now?

My Wizard is stuck in the boot screen

Hi,
I tried flashing my rom using the shell tool today and it did not work. So I tried a hard reset and now its stuck in the first screen where its a blue background and it says
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.25.11
os 10.2.0.8
I was able to get past the RGB screen but now I have no idea what to do.

I tried flashing it to the WM6 if that helps anything and it was on the official cingular rom before

Why are you using the Shell Tool when you have a G3 (based on the IPL / SPL that you posted)? Just CID unlock your device and save yourself a ton of headaches.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
And yes it helps to know you are flashing WM6, but which one?

I was trying to flash it to PDAMobiz_Wizard_WM6_G3_AmazingRom_V.1.1_by_Hong.exe
I got my machine back to the 225 rom but I just cant seem to get the instructions on flashing it to work as I cant flash to button, wizard love, or tmobile and therefore cant get it to flash properly.

just throw it in bootloader mode (press soft reset with the stylus and then quickly hold the camera button.) When you get there just connect the wizard to the usb port and flash with the latest official rom. It really should work

I did. my problem is trying to get it to WM6. I have tried the official rules by the doctor, but I cant unlock it and I cant downgrade the rom. I cant install the tmobile rom as well. It seems every rom I try to install does not work.its driving me crazy.

Why can't you unlock it? Dr. P's unlocking instructions with Lokiwz are pretty straightforward and easy to do -- if you follow them step by step. There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to unlock it.
PLUS -- once you're unlocked, you can flash to ANY ROM -- ANY TIME. No need to downgrade and re-unlock every time you want to flash a newer, better ROM.

I followed the instructions. But they did not work for me. I cant goto either of the roms suggested and I cant unlock my phone. it just doesnt work for me.

You can't even downgrade to button's rom? What's the error you're getting. Give us some info we can help you further with!

I hate to say this, but if you did follow the instructions it would work. You really can't skip steps.

The error I am getting downgrading to button is
error 260 - update error
I get this with all roms. I have restarted my pc numerous times and done other things to try to get it to work but alas nothing helps.

17 ERROR [248~260] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs when there is an “open port error” before upgrading the CE ROM image.
Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an “OPEN PORT ERROR” again, reset your computer and try again.

The solution for your problem might be in this thread.

Give it a shot

One last thought --
If you can't downgrade to Buttons' 1.05 ROM to unlock, maybe you could downgrade to the original Cingular-shipped ROM, which is v1.08.
I've uploaded it to Rapidshare for you if you want to try it.

Xperia Prototype - Need massive amount of help!

Hello!
In my previous post i asked for the best ROM for the X1, ive already downloaded the image file for a ROM called "EnergyROM_KOVSKY_20090805_Standard".
Now i just want to know how to Apply it to the phone.
What do i need to change in the phone before installing the ROM?
Is it even possible to change ROM in a prototype?
I also have problems updating my ROM (when i tried it before)...RUU gives me error code 262.
AS you may notice, im really retarded when it comes to this, but hopefully i will learn sometime.
I will post some device info. Just so you know whats inside the phone.
Rom-Version: 1.02.936.3
Rom-Date: 08/29/08
Radioversion: 1.06.25.29
Protocall version: 52.43.25.24U
CPU: QUALCOMM(R) 7200A
Clock: 528 MHZ
RAM-Size: 256 MB
Flashmemorysize: 512 MB
Database: 32 Bit
StorageSize: 281.58 MB
Bluetooth-Version: 2.0/2.0+EDR
Firmware: R1AA017
And please: Dont redirect me to some multi thread that is named "How to flash your phone) Cause ive already tried it, but i dont understand **** there
If someone would be kind enough to give me a step by step walkthrough on how i do to upgrade just that ROM that ive downloaded. And what other programs i need to be able to fix my phone.
Thanks in advance!

deleted post

You need to check in the bootloader(tri-colored screen) what your spl is... In order to flash a custom rom it will need to say this SPL-0.72.01OliNex....if it does not say this then you need to hardspl the phone...if you follow the instructions it is easy. Once this is done then you will need this....copy the ROM you have downloaded into the CustomRUU folder and execute the file. If this does not work....you will need to format your memory card(Fat32) and follow these instructions, plus there is a video tutorial regarding all the procedures you need....the instructions are as basic as one can get.
Good luck.
Regards,
WC

You mean that no person with a general knowledge about flashing rom = busting warranty shouldnt be allowed using a phone?
How do you know anything about what i do with the phone, with what apps im using, and what im using it for?
Mind your own business and come back to the thread when you have something to contribrute.

There's a list of error messages here somewhere. Maybe you can find it here. I think the answer is here. It sais just try again after turning off and turning it back on again
btw, being rude to other users isn't going to help you get your questions answered any faster. Updating roms isn't that hard anymore, but you need to be carefull and know what you're doing. If you don't understand how flashing works and what you need to do for that, you can read the stickies in this rom section. I think it's explained very clearly and step by step lots of times.
edit: looking at all your posts, it seems you've asked the same about three times, and most things kan be found easily by google or the xda forum search. Maybe try a bit harder before asking here?
if you don't like criticism, just ignore my post; everybody has to learn to work with windows mobile, but the only way is to try a lot yourself, search, try some more, search again, then ask and try some of the answers given. Don't get agitated when not everyone is giving you the right answer in clear steps, most of the users are trying to explain as good as they can with the information provided.

the guides are pretty thorough...
if you read them its clear enough...
(assuming you want to use non official Sony roms - you need to flash your hardspl so you wont get errors... (think this is where you're stuck)...
download a hardspl and flash it via activesync)
Then
copy the rom into your sd card root directoy...
rename it to kovsimg.nbh
hit the reboot switch while holding down power and the down vol button to start the update process
this is the easiest way...
but as above, if you want shortcuts for everything and dont read the instuctions clear you MAY END UP BRICKING YOUR PHONE...

I'ts a difference in writing a post with no meaning and a post like you just did.
Example: You start a new thread, no matter what it's about. There are two guys responding.
One guy is giving you this as a answer: Lol, thats kinda noobish that you dont know how to use your phone.
The second guy answers just like you did, you gave me information and links on where and what to search for. But still points out that theres many "obvious" stuff that im asking for.
Big difference.
Back to topic. I've already figured out how to do all, i have all the files that i need.
The problem is that when i try and update the SPL to 1.00.X1 instead of thje other 1.02.Olinex (or what its called) I always get a connetion error 262.
Ive read the links that you gave me before, and it says that you need to either softreset, change usb port or reboot your computer. Guys in another thread gives the same instructions.
Still no success.
So since i've done my searching, done the exact procedure that you should do. And it's still not working. Is that still something just "obvious" to ask for?
And i apologize if i hasn't been clear enough in this thread that the phone im using is a proto. And i still haven't been confirmed by some other proto user that this method is acctually working.
I'm thankfull for all the (helpfull) responses i get. And im trying them all.
If something else comes up i will post it in this thread. No matter if its obvious or not.
Have a nice day everyone!

Looks like there's a connection error when your phone reboots to go into tri-color boot menu.
Google for USB Mass storage device, download the driver and install it and then try again.
Of course you have to find the right driver for your OS.

haha, damn, thats obvious, that i didnt think of that before. hehe, thank you!
Btw, if the phone gets into the tricolor menu, and the progressbar shows up (but still stuck at 0%) can it still be because the driver?
Thanks

if its stuck at 0% it means you're not flashing a compatible rom...
obviously you havent flashed the spl...
flash a OFFICIAL sony rom first... if you still have issues at least you know its either the 'prototype' hardware
or your PC...
which i'd suggest try flashing from another PC...

Oh, im sorry if i didnt expressed myself good enough.
When im using X1_HardSPL i get the 284 update error.
When in using the custom RUU i get the 262 error.
So i guess the X1_HardSPL application is to change SPL?
If i cant seem to change SPL i wont be able to change rom either. Correct?
Since i have the SPL that was shipped with the phone, can i still upgrade from R1A to R3A without changing SPL?

Have you disabled any of your firewall and anti virus programs when you try using the software?
I previously always had to disable my zonealarm firewall before I could uset he spl software....

Yes I've done.

yes if you have the stock SPL you can upgrade from R1a to R3a with the standard SE update utility.
which can be downloaded at the SE site under support.

The Phone is still a Proto.....
Therefor not accepted by SEUS

Try flashing the official Sony Ericsson ROMs first. No need to Hard-spl for those.

I cant install R3A :S
It says "No image found" bootloader.
And the card is FAT32, and the file is named Kovsimg.nbh
And yes, its placed in the root of the Card.

And if you try to flash via ActiveSync with CustomRUU? That worked most of the times with my X1. Oh wait, that got you the error 262.
In one of your other threads someone says (or you quoted) that one of the advantages of a proto was that there's no security check, which means it might not even be necessary to use HardSPL first.
I've had error 262 a few times; just try to flash again, maybe from another computer if that's possible. You can also try to flash another rom first.
Which roms have you tried flashing? Have you tried with a freshly formatted sd-card smaller than 2 gb (although I think that won't have any effect); you can also try renaming kovsimg.nbh with all small letters, all capitals or the way you just spelled it. It might be important.
offtopic: I get your point on the reactions you get when opening new threads. Everything is simple when you now where to look or if you've done it before, but it can be very hard to find the answer when there's so much info to choose from.
That said: a topic title of something like "having trouble flashig a custom rom to prototype" sounds a bit more serious then "need massive help" with a lot of exclamation marks. That might set people off on the wrong foot.

I have the same problem
but can't instal bootloader or flash any ROM
I tryed to flash the original rom but it stucks to 13%
I tryed to instal many bootloaders but when it cames to 100% it says that image is corruped (error 270)
can any one help me ??

up guys.. please i really need your help..
i want my trinity back..

OK. I've had that problem before when I first got my Trinity. Been through a lot of trial and errors before I was able to do it correctly. I don't know if this can help but this is how I did it. Usual warning.... I am not responsible if you brick your device.
Just look for the following files in the Trinity thread and install them in the following order:
1. HTC Trinity SIM & CID Unlock - v1
2. Install Olipro 1.20
3. Now I don't know if this should be done but I read somewhere that you should upgrade your Radio version so I installed "Trinity_Radio1.56.70.11"
Even though I have done these steps already I always do them again WHENEVER I install a new ROM. It does not hurt to repeat them.

If you are getting "error vender id" message then it means that your unit is locked again so you have to unlock it again like I said in my previous post. You must have installed an official ROM previously which will lock your phone again.

please help me to get my trinity back
i think that my phone has been locked because i can't instal any ROM or HardSPL
I tryed to flash windows d. 3.3 Dmore (wm 6.1) but when i boot windows it stucks in the green screen so i can't run cid unlock.

please help me to get my trinity back

[Q] Flashing a ROM, SDCard WON't work, error in RUU.

Hello, so as I stated in the title, I want to flash a custom rom to my X1, I have already installed HardSPL, .72 version, and tried to flash an Energy rom.
The SDCard method won't work, I get the "Image file not found" with my card, and the same error but with some red letters appearing on top of the screen with the other 2 cards i tried. I tried to use KovskyAdvancedRUU to task28 (flash the phone regularly) and as soon as it gets to 1% I get the "Invalid Model ID" error.
Any ideas? Seriously, I don't know if this has been answered before but I have been searching for days and found nothing.
I will be really grateful if someone can provide help, and really sorry if there's already an answer on this.
My already installed rom is WM6.1, stock, Greek.

use hardSPL .78 try again.be sure u did steps in right order

Thanks for the reply! Please check the thread again later, I'll post the result!

dont forget use task 29 before flashing and hard reset after flashing for good perform for your rom...
