i'm trying to insall a new rom valkyrie v1.6... i've put it on my memory card root and changed it to kovsimg.nbh got the three colours, now all it says is "Loading..."
any ideas?
X1 rescue! Bricked?
I flashed stock SPL over HSPL before flashing back the stock ROM.
X1 will shows the SPL version following by "Loading..." on the LCD whenever power up! (with memory card inside the phone)
My SPL is 0.72.
The phone should be in recovery mode now without valid ROM/OS in it.
I copy an official UK ROM (R2AA010) into the micro SD card and rename it to kovsimg.nbh,
remove the battery for a few sec, insert the SD card with image file and then hold VOL Down button and power button to boot into Flash mode.
Press Power button to begin flashing process.
(Like normal flashing to other ROM after HSPL mod)
The phone should read the ROM image data and reflash back x1.
If this method not working, try to hold Power+VOL Down and press the RESET at the same time until the phone turn into "Rainbow" screen then try to flash again.
This "Rescue method" works for my set but I still advice that MUST flash stock ROM then only follow with SPL!
If your xperia is stuck in a "boot loop", which I think is what you're describing (as I remember mine always said it was loading the rom, each time you rebooted) then there's a PC application called mtty. it gives a command line interface to the phone when connected by USB.
I don't remember what commands are needed, but a search of the forums should find them. You need to set it to boot properly. Sorry I can't be more helpful, it was last year at some point that I needed this last.

Ple-e-e-a-a-se Help!!!! I don't want to hard reset my telephone now,i just want to start Xperia in normal mode.
Many many thanks in advance,
Valery
P.S.Sorry for my English-it's not good and now especially i'm totally nervous with that problem...
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???
Thank you,
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...

my situation, i downloaded a rom and tried to flash using SD method.
i think it may have been a corrupt rom because everytime i turn it on it asks me to press power button to flash rom.
is there a way i can access the sd card from the phone in this state?
or another way i can flash it from my computer?
i dont have a seprate micro sd reader.
all i have is my compter, the xperia and the usb cable =S
someone help??
:*(
How do you turn on your phone? And what rom did you use. More information please. And did you hardspl?
i turn on my phone with the power button on the top.
i used kid dc's extravagent rom 4.1.
hope this helps?
my dilemma is now accessing the sd card
and yes i have hard spl on there
i've flashed plenty of times before, this time i think it was just a bad rom.

This should be help.

With the phone off, try to do a hardreset: Hold down the two silver buttons directly under the screen, while holding them down push the power button, you should then be presented with a screen that asks you to press "R" to reset your device....so go ahead and flip open the keyboard and press "R", when it completes it will ask you to press "Spacebar" to restart the device.

i heard you are supposed to flash the stock rom THEN soft spl. not the way you did it
It is the rule: always restore last what you have flash first

Flasehed this ROM: 23563 V2 FULL WWE-ITA using Jump SPL 1.93 which went fine but later after installing the apps asked to reboot.
Once clicked on the reboot unable to get the phone back.
Does anyone have any ides on this. on how we can recover this. Or Flash another ROM from this state.
Moved as not ROM Dev.
By unable to put back on i imagine you can't power on device? Remove battery and try after an hour or so.
If not then maybe the end of the road.

why did you use jumpSPL to flash a complete ROM???????????
its written everywhere that jumpSPL is only meant to flash HardSPL...and HardSPL is needed before you can flash any ROM. i mean why???????!!!!!
follow the advice the chef gave you in the thread for the ROM because i noticed you posted your question there as well in addition to starting a new thread here.
Try flashing Stock rom via 2GB or smaller SD Card. Check the wiki for Stock OEM Roms from your BRANDED Device.

Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Kaiser Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your computer
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to KAISIMG.nbh
4. Copy the KAISIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Hold in the Power and Camera buttons, then press the reset button with the stylus for about 3 seconds until the BootLoader screen appears
7. You will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
8. A message will then pop up asking you to press the Power button to start the update
9. Press power button to start flashing
10. Once phone finishes flashing and says Update Complete, reset with the stylus
11. When it gets to the screen where it configures the stylus, HARD RESET
(press left and right softkey buttons on the front and hold in reset with stylus until message appears)
12. When prompted, Press "Send Button" (Green Call Button on Front) to Clear Data
13. When prompted, Press "Send Button" (Green Call Button on Front) to Restart Phone
14. Follow onscreen instructions to set up your New Rom

Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)
Guys,
Thanks for your advise, i have recovered my phone, i went into boot loader screen then flashed the original HTC ROM which is "TyTN II_AUS Hutch_WM6.1_Upgrade_20080602" which went through fine and ALL IZ WELL so far...
The reason i used the Jump SPL is that when i flashed normally, i was not able to get the ROM upgrade, it was throwing error message UPDATE error...
so
1. checked some info and Ran Jump SPL 1.93
2. Right click on the Active Sync then unchecked the USB connection
3. Connected back and ran the KaiserCustomRUU.exe
which went fine but anyhow learn lesson...
Thanks once again for everyone...
I changed my X1i to CM7.2
but now i've tried to take it back to windows mobile, and it doesn't work.
with the HSPL program i flashed back the stock spl
i also tried to perform a task 29, but there's where started failing.
i tried the recovery, cause it failed, and then i tried to flash the stock rom with seus, but i turned on the device it spl mode, i connected it to the pc and it recognized it as "microsoft USB sync" and seus just didn't recognized it.
What could i do?

Get any custom ROM, rename it to "kovsimg.nbh" and transfer it into your SD card. Then get into the tri-colored screen (Hard-SPL) and it'll give you an option to flash back.
