The extended rom of your phone seems to have gotten corrupted by too many installing/deleting applications or some or any essential OS files corrupt and not responding.You can try by switching OFF the phone and taking out the battery for a couple of minutes say 30 mins and then try again to switch ON the phone or try Soft reset,see if it works,otherwise try a Hard Reset.Hope it'll work,well if it still doesn't work,than the only way out is to reflash a new Rom.
Cheers !

Which is the present Rom on it ? is your phone CID unlocked ? if its Cid unlocked then try new latest XMr5 or TNT 1933 series,both are excellent Roms.
Btw, which is your device G3 or G4 ? Post IPL/SPL...? of your phone,ok
Cheers!
IPL/SPL 3.08, OS 11.0.0.0, GSM 01.12.10..dis is the site i followed..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963 ..im sori but im a noob..wat does r2sd all mean?i actually did dat..(i know, its not good to try things u dont know of..but ive learned my lesson..)where can i find the roms?can u pls tell me the thread?thanks for all ur help..
oh and btw, my phone is cid unlocked..nd currently on wm6..it actually destroyed my storage card..its not readable anymore..(no offense for d 1 who taught of it..)is der any way to revive it?
I recently got myself an X1, and I have to honestly say, its brill!
I am mainly using the spb shell panel, and like it for the reason that I can use my thick fingers to operate it. Is their any other user interfaces like this one?
Ok, I am a smart enough guy…(sometimes)…but I cannot for the life of me understand roms…and what you guys are going on about in these forums.
What I am looking for is a good selection of panels to choose from, however from what I can get from these forums is that I am better installing something completely different on the phone.. I assume this gets rid of my panels?
Do roms completely overwrite what is currenly on the phone? Ie. Panels, tomtom, etc.
Any tips would be much appreciated, as I am interested in a user interface that I can better customise to suit myself (cant customise spb mobile shell)…..
Thanks..
Roughly said a ROM is a collection of appz put in one file together with the WinMo OS.
What those appz are, and which version of winmo, totally depends on the creator of the custom cooked ROM. In the threads of the custom ROM is always a summary of what is included.
Most chefs delete the panels from their ROMs, except for the standard panels and the panelmanager. So you can install the panels you want to use.
When installing a new ROM (custom cooked or stock) it always deletes the phone memory, not your SD-card! So you need to install appz, change settings to your own need, and ofcourse put contacts, agenda, etc back from back-up.
Nice, thanks.
I think in that case that I will avoid them for now, as I do not have a good enough understanding of how it works. I will how ever make more of an effort to read into the process to understand how it will benefit how I use the phone.
Thanks for the heads up.
May I suggest you to read this thread:

Ok, took the plunge, and installed a custom rom....
I installed Touch_IT v4.5 and it is excellent..however
Anyone else experiencing lots of crashes? I am getting lots of crashes for stupid things like trying to open the X panel....
Whats annoyed me most is that I have taken off the back cover so much to remove the battery (to restart) I have cracked the part under the camera :-(
Just out of interest...to convert back to the stock o2 UK rom do I simply download "X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_R2AA010 - uploaded" from:
NEW ORIGINAL X1 ROMS (all released variants) update 14.3.2009
Then Hard SPL, and install this original rom?
Thanks..

Yes, and yes.
Edit: You don't need to HARD SPL again before you flash it.
I believe that ROM is the generic SE one without any of the O2 branding.
If you need to return it for any reason you will need to reflash it with the O2 ROM (which I believe is available in the same thread as you found the one you pointed out).
You'll also need to change the hard spl back to the original.
Shame about the crack under the camera, did you know you can soft reset by holding down the power button for 3-5 seconds?

How do I change the hard spl back to the original??
I do assume though there is no way to reset the phone when it has completely crashed, without removing the battery. Holding the power button down has no effect.
Its a shame as I love the touch-it 4.5 rom. I almost would live with it being unstable just for some of the features (i.e Camera with autoflash, and the touchflo 3D interface).

Did you hard reset after flash, because I've been using Touch-IT 4.5 since the day after it was released and aren't experiencing big stability issues (hard reset is press the two directly under your screen and press reset button with stylo).

When the batterycover is removed there is a tiny hole next to the battery, you can use your stylo to press the reset button inside the hole (soft reset).
hard reset after flash? no...how do I do that?
As I didnt do it, will I have to reflash it again and then hard reset?
I dont understand "press the 2 under the screen" sorry...

Hey guys I just too got an X1a and want to install this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485624 But still not really quite sure what to do. So I just download the ROM and ROMUpdateUtility.exe yes? (where can i find the rom update utility for the Xperia?) Then I just install it onto the phone? I know I hav to backup etc. Will this void the warranty though, will I be able to get it to factory settings if I want to change it back?
Thank you.

Hard reset:
1. turn off the phone
2. Hold both right and left buttons (the ones right under the screen, dont know the name)
3. press reset button with stylus, while still holding the others

Ok, so the reset button is the one underneath the battery cover?
and the right and left buttons are the silver rectangular ones that you can assign as anything?
Should I reflash the phone and hard reset it then, or might hard resetting it now work?

Hard reset without reflash should do the trick

Don't know Resco first handed, but looking at the screenshots (http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/indepth.asp) you should be able to enter the registry at the base of the folder tree.
1: I cannot flash my X1 using any methods! see this link
2: When the X1 is on and i'm trying to turn the screen on, i'm pressing the power button but the Dialpad and Calendar will automaticly comes up it's just like i'm pressing dial and left silver button together with power button
3. I think that's why my vol down+power button is not working as well as silver buttons when trying to hard reset!
Please help me, it's not even a long time that i'm using it!
(sorry for my bad english)
Have you tried flashing by USB method instead of Via Memory Card?
sorry, dont funny to read the thread, so this question could be known by you.
did you turned off your phone by long pressing the off button?
the second way is a little bit tricky:
push reset .. than (no longer than 0,5 seconds) off + vol_down until vibration comes and tree-color-screen.
it works too after taking battery out and than back. but more time for pushing off +vol_down.

Strange this is the second person claiming about the same stuff... anyway... take out memory and try hard reset.
I did everything!!! Nothing helped!
I'm going to flash it back to stock ROM. i donno if i can
i had the same problem...[after a LITTLE cola damage ]
i contacted the sony ericsson support and they repaired me my x1 [switched a key] even their was set a custom rom...
"if the problem is caused by the custom rom you have to pay 25€ for setting an original rom otherwise we will repair it on guarantee"
so the best thing is to tell the hotline what you´ve already tried and send it to x1 support center...
the german firma "becker&partner" was realy fast...after 3-4 days i´ve got my x1 back
doesn´t know where you are living/how fast the x1 support is in other countries

Hi Wraaaaap and ISP! Today i had the problem num 262 when trying reflash stock bios, and I found the way that don't need to press power + vol down buttons. maybe it might works for U guy. But firstly, your phone have to normally start up, and can access to windowns screen. And then, go to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218 follow instruction in order to flash bios again. If Ur phone have 0.72.OliNex (or 0.52.OliNex MFG) U should flash it back to stock bios? Before reflashing bios, take off SD card, copy stock ROM to SD card and remane it to Kovsimg.nbh, put back to the phone...Start flash. and vice-versa if ur phone's bios is tock one. Hope it will help U

if ur phone stops at silver screen, shows "loading..." so u take off SD card and copy ROm in there (if stock bios so copy stock ROM or 0.72 so copy any cooked Rom) rename ROM to Kovsimg, put the card back to the phone, take off battery and start again. It might work.
don't need to press anything, just power button one time.

Hello guys!
Sorry my bad english!
I installed to WM6.5 ROM in my HTC phone in february. I used may months, all day...
And yesterday i switch on my phone, put on my desk, and today, i see , that the screen get white. It dont do nothing, just get white. I restart the phone many times, and remove the battery, the phone do this: i enter my security password (i locked my phone) and then its go to white screen, and dont do nothing. And if i swich on my phone, and dont do nothing, its just go to frozen...
A dont install nothing my phone since many weeks.
Maybe, the WM6.5 ROM was out of date???
I dont know, but if i connected my phone to PC, the PC isnt known my device...
I dont do nothing, my phone was dead, and im a big trouble (((((((((((
PLEASE HELP ME!
did u try to hard reset it?
can u still enter bootloader mode?
if u can still enter bootloader then try flash another ROM
I think there is a timebomb in the Rom you are using.
Go to bootloader menu, connect to usb, and try to flash an other rom by installing via Windows.
okay, but what is the hard reset? Is that a red button on my device back?
if it is, i try this, but it isnt solve my problem.
and how i can go the bootloader menu?
thank a lot.
Don't worry...just try the hardreset:
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel.
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
If this does not work...just flash another rom...it really seems to have this timebomb issue...you don't have a hardware problem...it's just the software.
here's a video instruction for the hard reset:

thanks a lot, the hard reset worked!!!

Hello,
I was watching this thread continously and whenever i try to jump in to help you with tips about flashing, someone would have done it already.
I feel somewhat releived to know that your Kit(d) is back on track.
I like this forum very much not just for the solutions but also for the people's attitude.
Hi All,
Maybe someone can help me? My blackstone is quite old now but probably still in warranty. I have a Dutty Rom on it and would like to reflash back to a stock rom so I can take it for servicing under warranty but the down volume button doesn't work. I can't enter the flash mode.
Anyone know a way I can do this without the voulme button or maybe trigger the volume button another way. I tried using foil on it but that doesn't work.
thanks

If you leave your phone in the normal position ie normal boot up with manila loaded and then run the RUUWrapper, there is a little sub-routine included which automatically changes to bootloader mode (I never put the phone into bootloader before a flash). Luckily your volume up still appears to work so at least you can do the hard resets.

The blackstone has very very poor volume buttons, amazingly bad!!! Now the plastic volume buttons are totally broken. (after 10 months) But I can use the buttons correctly.
Poor material, poor HTC quality. Never HTC again.
make sure you get it to the stock SPL too because hardspl voids your warranty if they find it.
like clyde said, if you connect your blackstone to your computer via activesync, you can run the ROM update from your computer, without you having to manually put the phone into bootloader mode. not sure how youre gonna do a hard reset though (not sure if its necessary) as you need both volume keys to do that
good luck

True, I forgot you need both to do the hard reset, you can see I do this as second nature now without thinking.
Oh well, you'll have to live without the hard reset after the flash. There are many who say it's not necessary, although I religiously still do my hard reset after each flash.
There's an option to wipe the device in the System settings. I think this is equivalent to a Hard Reset.
It is. _

You can hard reset by clearing storage under system settings -does the same thing.
mine also broken after 3 months of use! very POOORRRR material! maybe No HTC again...

I never did a HR after flash, eventually I do a clear storage after some time, probably b4 loading all the apps, but will do a HR b4 flash.
