It dose not manual.

download the rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394985
then go into bootloader [looking for how to now] bootloader is tri-colour screen
and run the exe from that download
you should be ok after that
to get to bootloader, try holding volume slider down and then soft-reset, or try up and soft-reset
the bootloader is usually side-of-device button combinations.
if those dont work, try the ront buttons and the reset button

Did it come with a CD? I think there was a copy of the manual for my Touch on the CD that came with it.

You should use that as a motto.

go to bootloader is:
hold down button and press (red) reset button

Bingo! This is the same as what the manual said. YJ

I found that the manual is wrong. The way to perform a hard reset of the Touch Diamond2 is:
1. With the Touch Diamond2 switched off, press the volume up and down buttons simultaneously.
2. Keeping them pressed, use the stylus to briefly press the red soft reset button (you’ll have to remove the back of the Diamond2 to do this).
3. Release the volume buttons when a message flashes up to say, “This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.”
4. Press the volume up button.

[SOLVED] I can't enter bootloader? (How-to?)

Hi!
I know I am supposed to press volume down and dow a soft-reset but this only boots my phone as normal soft reset. I do not see the tri-band boot screen that people are talking about. I have a Swedish phone ...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402530&highlight=Hard+Reset
No offence mate. Everyone is more than happy to help, but it wouldn't hurt running a simple search first.
All the best.

I know its in order to insult people how do not search , but I was asking for the boot loader - not about Hard Reset

oops..
sorry.. haven't had my coffee yet

go to bootloader is:
Try this
hold down button and press (red) reset button
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395795&highlight=bootloader
(again got this from search too.. )

I have tried all of the buttons and no one lets me do a bootloader

Press Volume Down and KEEP it pressed until you get the bootloader screen. So...do not release the volume down after you've pressed the reset buton

That finally did it
thanks!

I can not make hard reset :(

Help me please guys I can not make a hard reset or flash a new ROM with the sd card method. (right volume button and power button). also hard reset doesn't work. (press both silver button and power button).
before always its OK but now i only flash with usb method.

Can you still hard reset using |START|SETTINGS|SYSTEM|CLEAR STORAGE|?
What rom and SPL are you using?
You might need to Hard-SPL again.

Are your xperia volume keys working properly because it can be hardware issue....

To hard reset:
When you're holding the silver key buttons press the power button NO MORE THAN A SECOND. Just press it very lightly and it should hard reset your device. Again do not hold the power button when you're holding the silver buttons.

Are you using volume down?
Turn the phone off, hold volume down (and keep holding) then turn the phone on. Make sure it isn't connected to your PC when doing this.
Edit: Does it enter the bootloader correctly when you are using the Rom Update Utility?

Flash back to an earlier rom, HardSPL again and see if you can enter the bootloader and hard reset using the key combinations.

At Whirlpool (Australian forum) we recommend using this Generic UK R1A Rom to recover from bad flashes.
Check the recovering from a bad flash section of this page.
If things go wrong we recommend getting your phone completely back to stock and trying everything again from scratch. Then step through to see what is causing the error.

Great info thanks I will Read

Buzz buddy how i can know what is the version of the bootloader if i can not enter to him??
I try many times. press and hold Right volume key and press de power key. and release power after the vibration. I am tired of the SE logo jaja.
early i try again to load the X1_HardSPL.exe with the pc and i see the three colors screen in the xperia. the screen show a 0.52 thats its OK??

the thing is:
if you want to go into the bootloader you need to press and hold the power button and the volume button down untill you get into the 3coloured screen.

exactly thats is all i want but a can't
all The keys (Volumen, Power, silver keys) Works Fine in Windows Mobile. but i can not make hard reset with the silver keys and button power. or worse i can not enter to the bootloader mode with volume key and power key.
before all its ok but now its like the keys dont work at the start.

to do a hard reset I just keep holding both softkeys and then I press the reset button with the stylus.
try it this way.

Flash another rom using the Rom Update Utility and see if you can get the bootloader to load using the volume down and power buttons. It must be a software problem preventing you from using this key combination.
I can't seem to find how to start the bootloader without the key combination.
It might be worth sending OliNex a PM and asking for advice.

Switch SD card and cant go to recovery anymore !

I managed to switch my sd card and now there is no option for boot into recovery anymore ! Please help me !!! When I tried to flash again via fastboot, it said that the image cant be loaded !

How are you trying to get to recovery. Volume - button and push the power button.

OP...you may want to be a bit more detailed.
Why and what are you flashing 'again' using fastboot?

huh!! very confusing post... what boot into recovery option... which ROM are u using and as @SiNJiN76 said... what are you trying to flash "again"???

well, I tried to press the power button and the trackball at the same time, but there is no option to go into recovery
Edit:
My bad guys, my mistake, i press the power and the trackball instead of the volume down button ! Sorry and please forgive my stupidity

I managed to switch from a 4GB class 6 to an 8GB one ! After that, I cant seem to boot into recovery anymore ! I tried to flash the recovery image again but it said that the image couldnt be loaded

Press Volume Down and hold it down while you press Power. Keep Volume Down button held 'til you get the white screen. You'll see recovery...press volume down to select it then power button to enter recovery.

how long did you hold the buttons? do it for at least 1 minute. Did it vibrate at all?
If not then you need to plug it into the wall charger and leave it alone for 24 hours.
If it still does not turn on take it back to the shop, if you have not flahsed it or done any damage to it they should exxhange it
