Action button is the middle of the optical joypad.
to reflash connect from your computer with a USB cable and use the Custom Radio RUU
AND DO NOT GO AROUND FLASHING THINGS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

Thanks a lot for fast response!!!
I was flashing one of the Radio ROMs here in the thread,that was in the list as worked, maybe it was transfer failure to MicroSD card,now it don't matter.
I power now Xperia on, then see that 4-color screen,then now i see kovsimg.nbh- RADIO and "Press power button to start update image" and "Press action button to cancel update image". If i press the middle of optical joystick-as you said-then it happens nothing-i see the same screen...What schould i do????

This is the "n" time I write this:
Remove and reinsert battery
Turn phone on
Now you are out of bootloader

Thank you Gtrab for answer,
but it is what i mean and what is strange-i remove battery,reinsert it,push only On button,and i'm again in boot mode....Very strange,yes???

Strange for you, but well known phenomena: your flash didn't complete
You'll have to flash again from a PC or by copying a new radio file to your microSD card, or you can use "mtty"... sorry there's no other way but reaching a PC

I have notebook here,but i can't connect to my phone,because it start always in boot mode.Is here some method to connect to phone without Active synch in that bootloader mode???I understand now-i must copy right file on my MicroSD card,how i can do it wothout MicroSD Cardreader and only with a phone starting in boot mode???

Valery

you can't access the sd-card without a Cardreader but you dont have to. In the 4-color screen you should see the text "USB" when you connect the phone to the pc (as far as I remember, when the device is not connected to the pc instad of "USB" the text is "SERIAL"). In that mode you can use the RUU to update your device.

Mastermarv,
thank you very much!!!I was worked for me-i was using RUU Radio utilities in bootloader mode and flashed orig. Radio ROM-now it all started OK and all work again!!!!!Uf-f-f,so one "abenteuer"...
Thank you all the people,those tried to help me in this situation,much appreciated your help!!!!
Now i can some relax...

I have the same problem! i can't even connect it to my pc cuz it doesn't recognize the phone... it's been stuck at the white " KOVSIMG.nbh - OS - Update in progress...." screen for more than 10 mins now. but it's 100%. I tried hard & soft reset, taking out the battery, and powering it on again , but it still goes back to this screen. please help me... thanks in advance

why is it like this?

I couldnt find a good title for this thread coz i donno how to explain it!
See the bellow video, first i cannot get to the bootloader screen. Then when the phone is on, after i press the power button the dial pad screen first, and the calendar screen after that will come up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W1CJV0m3Ac
How could I fix this? i cannot even get back to original situation to get for warranty!
I think it's the source of my problem.
PS. i face this problem after i removed S2U (Slide to unlock) software

Can you get to the restore screen? (hold down the two front silver hard keys + Power)

With the phone completely off, You have to hold down the power + volume down button until the bootloader pops up...keep holding it until you see the colored strips.

Try Using the camera button i.s.o the volume down. Works fine for me on my X1

Try this, Connect your phone to the pc, make sure you are connected to the activesync. Then run the the hard spl tool, It should automatically put the phone into bootloader mode.

Thanks for replies,
yes i can get to the bootloader screen using hard spl manual tool, but it will stop on "Loading..." screen and it's not flashing!!!

When it says "Loading..." it means it cannot find KOVSimg.nbh on your SDcard or there is nog USB connecting through which you're trying to update.

i don no but did u check if ur volume key is working...also do a hardrest....stteing>system>clear storage

Yes, my volume key is working fine in windows with no problem!
Actually i've already did a clear storage but.... nothing....

Well I had the same problem when trying to flash from a Vista PC and USD cable. (for the hard SPL, glashing with a SD card worked fine, but you should disconnec the USB cable to be sure that it takes the SD card)
I used my wifes small netbook with XP and there it worked instantly. If you use a Vista machine, try it with an other XP machine.

Mark

Try other ROM, if it was stock Rom so try other cooed ROM, or vice versa

ok try this. Restore your phone to stock spl, Let the hard spl tool put your phone into bootloader mode. Once its in this mode, Try to run Sony ericsson update tool to update it to the R3A firmware.

Hardspl is completley not working!!!
Is there a dead mode method? i think that would help me?

MDA Vario III don't want to boot

Hi,
I have a problem after flashing my MDA.
After any restarts, the telephone don't want to boot into OS.
Hard Reset, Soft reset, Take out battery all nothing happend.
I only see the "windows phone" picture and in the right bottom corner any numbers in 3 rows.
Can I boot the fon with SD Card and reflash it?

Try removing the SD and booting "corrupt SD can stop boot" if not then:
Get into bootloader flash stock ROM.
Hold in camera keep hold and press stylus in reset whole hold.
Can be via USB or SD but i always use SD to flash.

Yes thanks,
5minutes ago, I found a thread like your answer.
It function. Thanks a lot

a real bricked liquid...

People,
These things happend to my phone. For about two months I was running a custom rom on my acer liquid. This worked fine, so I decided to delete the backup files on my phone.
From that moment programs were saying that my phone wasn't rooted anymore. Now I tried do root it again, following the procedures from theunlockr.com. This went all well until I had to load the 'install-superboot-windows.bat' file. My phone started to reboot, I saw 'acer' on the screen followed by the typical android combinated with acer. After that my phone went black...
I can't seem to get any further than that.
I've tried the hard reset (both volumebuttons combinated with the power button), I also tried powerbutton combinated with the volume-up button.
What can I do!?!?
Greetz,
Peter

Try accessing the recovery console : disconnect and reconnect battery, connect the usb cable and then press and hold camera + volume up(+) + Power. From there you should be able to access recovery mode and eventually make the device visible to the acer tool to flash a clean rom.

You are kinda correct (I have gone through this a couple of times).
Take out battery and put it back in (just leave the back cover off to make things easier) (I think you leave the USB cable unplugged. Pretty sure I did).
Hold down Camera+Volume Down+Power. You will feel 2-3 vibrations.
Release those buttons.
Press power as if you are turning the phone on.
It should boot up into recovery. From there either restore a nanadroid or flash a new rom.
Best of luck keep us informed with your progress.

thanks dudes!!
Wow... it was only because I saw a reply on modaco first. But you had the same solution... and it worked!!
I couldn't reach the SD card using 'mount SD on' but thank god I had an old rom packed in a zip on my sd card. This one I could reach so now I lost al my programs, but I don't give a damn!
Very much thanks for the help and the given solutions, I REALLY appriciate it!
Yours sincerely,
Peter

Nice to see it worked

It's a simple as this (thank god!) You should press the camera button, hold it and press the 'volume down' button and hold them together with the powerbutton. Now you will feel a triple vibration. The phone will now load a menu in wich you can load a ROM that's on your SD-card? (i had that)
If you haven't got that try to reach the SD-card by selecting the 'mount on-option'. That will give te computer access to your SD-card. Now you can flash it.
That last thing didn't worked with me, but from now on i will always leave a good ROM on my SD-card in case in happends again.
Hope i helped you out!!
Grtz!

[Q] An huge problem!!

Sorry, but I have a big big problem. I have an x1, and I flashed the previous version of Energy Rom on the sd card. BUT I wanted to re-flash these, and the phone blocked in initial screen..the update rom one..
So, every time I try to update, it starts and after a few second, and when it start to update, the screen turns off. Finally, anyone can help me? I don't know how I can fix this situation PLEASE, HELP ME!!
Thanks, Fabio

Remove your Micro SD-CARD, and enter in flash mode! Volume down + power on!
Open the Update Phone Utility with the rom of your choice! Remember to rename your rom to: KOVSIMG.nbh
Sorry for English.

did you try method that wrote first.
and off course try another usb port, or another usb cable.
because if the phone did'nt recognized by PC, it means there's problem with cable or usb port if other things are OK.
