extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons.
step by step:
- this is ONLY for warranty reasons. i.e. the device needs repair and you have to send it to htc to get it serviced. if you plan to restore hardspl then don't even bother flashing this stock package, unless you are some kind of hacker/dev
- IMPORTANT: be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
- now the steps
1. download the stock spl package from this post.
2. download X1_HardSPL_v1 too, from this post.
3. run the hardspl package, but do not press Next button i.e do not go ahead with flash yet.
4. at this point, take the extracted stock SPL, a RUU_Signed.NBH file, and overwrite the other RUU_Signed.NBH in hardspl package.
5. go on with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour screen with 0.52.OliNex version), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+1. to verify, enter bootloader (see description above in this post), and check version number on tricolour screen. it should say 0.72.0000.

Found it here, @ the end of the first post.

Thank you for all your help
well after not sleeping all night yesterday now it's working
i don't even know how it began again to work
i did a flash of a stock rom it stopped at 10% then a hard reset (didnt work initially) then flashed again hardspl and it could do the hardreset.
im si happy it's working again
i don't count that much on se warranty
thanks again

Sometimes the problem is in the incompatibility of Hard SPL with your ROM. Same happened to me with Diamond. Only flash another rom and problem solved

If you can find the dowloaded .nbh file on your machine, you can copy it to your microSD card, rename it to Kovsimg.nbh and flash from bootloader that way.
However I couldn't find where the SEUS was saving the file.

Well my problem was very strange because i could flash the firmware through microsd or RUU successfully but it didnt boot. It just showed the logo for some seconds and rebooted again. I also tried many commands with mtty like task 28, task 2a (which make it just appear a white screen and nothing else). anyway the only thing to make it work was to hard reset and then flash the hardspl again...
after flashing the hardspl the hardreset began normally.

Does anyone know how to do the hardspls - Yes it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.52.OliNex.MFG (this is SSPL!).
but then the error message is coming and no
"Hard-SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done"

Stuck in bootloader

Alright, so I was trying to install a new ROM on my phone.
But Hard SPL didn't work, so I attempted to do it without but now the phone is stuck on the tri-color screen. Each time I boot it shows me that, even without an SD card in the slot.
Help!
Edit: I just downloaded an original R3A and it appears to be isntalling. *fingers crossed*

when you hard-spl'd you did make sure your phone was on, synced (or at least connected) to activesync or WMDC right?
and remember you have to press yes on the phone after as well!
there is no need to hard-spl again after that
hope this helps!

I keep getting the "260 error" in RUU

on every ROM thread it says do hard spl first and u try it without it? not a good idea... and for 262 error for some ppl helped trying on different computer...

Try to reflash the rom you was flashing in the first place.
Mayb it is locked, cause it needs a serten file from that rom.

Have you tried to hard reset it?
Fully charged it
And try to enter the bootloader to flash again?

try agent47´s task29 that might help

Im trying atm...so far its been 10mins and its stucked at 0%....i cant flash anything =(
Edit... it Gave me update Error 262

are you able to enter the bootloader/tricolour screen ? if so remove sd card.
now on your PC use "X1_RUU_ROM_UpdateUtility" with any ROM image (remember to rename rom img to ruu_signed.nbh), follow steps on ROMUpdateUtility, you will be asked to connect phone (bootloader screen) on 2nd step.
I hope it helps

I Hope this help you!
In one occasion I suffered a similar problem and the issue was that the Memory Card was damaged, and when the Phone Start and tried to read this it "stuck" reading this.
Try to start the phone without the memory to see if this work.
Regards.

Please provide better details.
What does your Bootloader screen show for SPL? (Soft reset phone and hold Volume Down before boot starts until you get to tri-colored screen)
1.33.00 or 1.83.Olinex, or?

Where it says SPL - 1.33.0000, if you successfully HSPL, it will say 1.83.Olinex.
I suspect you didn't verify your SPL flashed correctly before you attempted to flash the ROM? If so, this is not good.
Hard reset (Reboot phone and hold both Volume Keys before device starts to boot, and continue holding them untill you get to the white screen, then follow the prompts.)
If you can get back to stock with a hard reset, I suggest you go here and do some reading.
If it gets stuck at the same screen, you will need to find your stock ROM. You can hopefully find it from HTC's site with your Serial Number.
Once you get your stock ROM, connect your phone to your PC and go to Bootloader. Once it displays 'USB' instead of Serial, run the .exe for your stock ROM.

i tried to dl stock ROM from HTC.com, but it says:
Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
im not sure if im on the right side, but there are only 4 options...
i downloaded original update, but from other side and while phone was connected to PC with Red green blue screen i opened the RUU everything went good until status bar (on PC and phone appeared status bar with % as it started installing, but then error) :/

So hard reset was unsuccessful?
Try flashing from SD card.
Right click on the Stock ROM and Extract to a folder.
Place the ruu_signed.nbh file renamed to TOPAIMG.nbh on the root of your SD card and then enter bootloader.
This will initiate the flash and hopefully it won't get stuck at 0%
You can also do this with the .nbh file from hspl.
Perhaps you should try to do HSPL .nbh first, because your OS is locked, it will ONLY accept the exact replacement ROM.
Also, I would suggest taking some time to read and learn about this stuff before diving in head first.
The link I provided previously is very thorough.
Take a look at the MTTY thread after you read about flashing and HSPL.

in bootloader it flash for 0,1 sec and says "Unable to load imagefile" or sth like that

Make sure it is 'TOPAIMG.nbh' exactly without quotes.
What was the error you received when you attempted from your PC?

its exactly like that,
it can be any ROM? becouse i have rom with nbh + exe files and with nbh only

No, unless you get HSPL to flash first.
If you successfully installed a ROM, it would not boot up because your OS is still locked.
Use this .nbh which is for HSPL 1.83. If you can get this to flash, do the same with HSPL 2.51, then you can flash to any ROM.

i think im lost.
can you please explain me, what should i copy to my SD card and what to do (in oredr)
thanks

Download the SPL 1.83.zip and extract the .nbh file.
Rename it to TOPAIMG.nbh and place on SD card
Enter bootloader mode and pray.
With luck, it will complete to 100%
Then you go back to bootloader and VERIFY your SPL says 1.83.Olinex. (This is the step you skipped before you attempted to flash a ROM, and you have bricked your device as a result)
Without luck, it gets stuck at 0%
Then you need to read up on MTTY to recover your device.
If you think you have your EXACT stock ROM, you can do the same with the .nbh file you extract from that, as previously instructed and get back to stock first before worrying about HSPL.
Basically HSPL unlocks your OS to be able to accept updates. Without it, you can only update from the stock image.
So your choices are, to try to HSPL, or try to get back to stock. Both can be done the same way, in bootloader using respective .nbh file.
I think you are looking to shortcut this stuff and it will only lead you to headaches, unless you take some time to read and learn.
Now, you never did answer;
Did you attempt a hard reset?
What was the error you received when you ran the RUU from your PC?

so i renamed that file, put it on card, card to phone, pushed VolDown and turned on. It flashed with loading and then again "No image file" and back to boot screen
i did few hard resets
error when i tried that "official ROM" was that: Error 294: Invalid render ID
This update cannot be aplied on this device
i try older ROM

Alight, your 294 error indicates its the wrong ROM for your device.
No Image File indicates that bootloader isn't recognizing the file.
Make sure your SD card is formatted to Fat32, you may want to try a 2-4gb card just to be sure. Sometimes larger cards get errors.
Since you can't find your stock ROM, you need to get the HSPL.nbh to load first.
If you can get the 1.83.Olinex to flash, continue the same process for HSPL 2.51 .nbh file.

so i did everything dled you file, formated card, put your file on card renamed turned on phone and now its stucked on loading (if i made something wrong tell me) couse im not sure

i connected phone with pc and try to instal Topaz-HardSPL_V5_00R5_183HSPL but its stucked on 0%

Well, we got it to recognize the image which is good.
Sounds like you did everything correctly, it just doesn't always work.
I think you have 3 options here;
1. Try to find your stock ROM and flash either from PC in bootloader or from SD card.
2. Read about MTTY and how to use it to flash to your phone and recover, but I still think you need your stock ROM to do this.
3. Warranty return- just tell em it froze, don't mention what you have done to it.
I have one other thing we can attempt here.
Download the enclosed file and unzip it to your PC.
Connect phone to PC and go into bootloader, then run Task29.exe.
With any luck this will force it to load HSPL.
Let me know what happens.

i tried ROMUpdateUtility, task29everything seems to work, but alwways stucks on 0%...
úroblem is, that my phone isnt originaly mine, i bought it from one guy, (couldnt be problem that it is MDA Compact V?)

Who can help, pls? Can't reinstall windows :(

hi there mate, Im no expert but I had the same problem.im no expert and you may have to wait for expert advice,....but......
I reformatted the memory card with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 5.2 it reformatted the card slowly, you can search the forums for" format card"and download a proper formatting programme.
I also had problems with the actual download once, i kept having the no image error come up over and over, so i re downloaded the file and it worked ,....also when they say take the battery out and wait,...do it for 10 secs.

hm, not sure if I'm 100% with you, but lets try:
the output you describe (SPL-0.78.0000) clearly shows that you are still on the latest stock spl, which you either got by factory default or through one of your later updates through SEUS (depending on how old your phone is)
this (stock spl) automatically prevents flashing of customizes roms (like the mentioned Energy rom), all you can flash with that are stock roms
there is the hard-spl thread concerning this by olinex which you most probably read and tried
so as I understand it you failed at flashing the hard-spl, then tried to run SEUS which failed as well and now you cannot even start your phone?
after failing at SEUS did you retry to run the SE update utility? it sometimes fails before successfully completing
did you try putting a stock rom on your sd card and flashing this (that would delete personal items and settings not backed up)?
how did you try flashing hard-spl? synching your phone with your pc and launching from there?
Best, DK

hi,
thanks for your post, and for trying to help. i should mention that i have never sync the phone with pc, i never need this. and i tried to hard spl the phone, but also gives error, it shut down. from then i tried several tims to do the update with the sony-ericsson application, it check's the phone and said that i have the latest software, but if there is any problem, try reinstaling the software. i push the reinstall button, it starts reinstalling, but the bar goes between 10 to 25, other time even 60 %, and then gives the communication error, and sais to try again.
i am no expert, this is the first time i try to do this on a phone, so if there is anyone who is so kind to explain step by stpe what i have to do, i shoul thanks him verry much.

So you want to install custom ROM to your phone? you need hardSPL first
If you have it hardSPL it will show 0.7.2.ollinex
then you just flash it. Try google how to hardSPL and FLash
simple mechanism,
X1 (Stock ROM and Stock SPL) -> hard SPL -> X1 (Stock ROM + hardSPL) -> Flash custom ROM (Energy ROM) -> X1 (hard SPL + Custom ROM)
WHY should Hard SPL?
because as DK explained above, SPL is the bios of your X1 and won't accept any ROM beside Stock ROM. so to have your X1, you need to change by doing Hard SPL, it will make your X1 accept any kind of ROM, stock or customed.

is it better to upgrade Stock ROM and Stock SPL to install applications? sorry, i'm just new in SE phone specially x1, so many things to learn here..

They're both the same. Applications will install fine on a stock rom as well as a custom rom, there's NO difference. Think of it as jailbreaking an iPod Touch or iPhone, they can still install apps from the app store with no problems, NOTHING is changed.
In fact, think of it as a car. An normal car uses petrol. A car with a modified engine ALSO uses petrol. So there's no difference.
The difference between a stock and custom rom however, is huge. A custom rom is basically a stock rom, but modified. Custom roms gives you more customizability, just like jailbreaking an iDevice. Most of the custom roms run more efficiently, and a lot faster than a stock rom.
It's NOT hard to install a custom rom, you just have to read the guides properly and follow the simple steps. It's worth every bit of your time. Just follow the 8 steps here to install hardSPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
and here if you want video tutorials:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497511
And btw, the SPL thing is just the same as a jailbreak. It's a hack basically. Installing hardSPL will jailbreak your device so that you can install custom roms on it, it's basically "unlocking" the device so you can do whatever you want with it.
