Factory ROM Kaiser (HTC branded) stuck on Smart Mobility screen

I've tried to do a hard reset but it doesn't do anything. I can enter bootloader screen though. Is the wiki correct about hard reset being the two soft keys and the soft reset button?
Please help! I'm stuck without a phone!

The wiki is correct about that, but if that won't fix it I suggest flashing a new firmware to your phone from the microSD card. You can follow the instructions from the wiki on how to do that, just one thing that it leaves out: you must format the microSD card to FAT32 file system, most come set to the FAT file system.
This has saved me when my device couldn't boot after a bad flash, in fact I now do all of my flashes using this method and they never fail. Good luck!

Is there a HardSPL file to run from the MicroSD card?

Download HardSPL, extract the files, find the .nbh file, then follow the wiki instructions of renaming it to KAISIMG.nbh. That will work fine.

There only seems to be one file...an exe....

You have to run the .exe file to extract its' contents. In the folder that it extracts to you can find the .nbh file.

Sorry to pester you but which file do I rename...
sspl-kais
or
kaiser-hardspl
?

Actually both are required, first do the sslp file, then the hardSPL file.

So I rename the SSPL file and enter bootloader...
then repeat for the other file?

That is correct.

Thanks for your help.
For some reason when I format the MicroSD to FAT32 and copy the file over (and rename it) it enters bootloader and quickly accesses the card only to say something to the affect of no file found and then return to the bootloader screen.

It will only detect it the file if 3 things happen: it must be fat32, the file must be named KAISIMG.nbh exactly, including the caps, or it will not be detected, and the file must be valid for your phone. If the sspl isn't working, try just the hardSPL.
If all else fails, put the official AT&T firmware back on the phone (it can be found in the FTP under the wiki), then flash hardSPL from your PC.

down load the att rom found here ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Kaiser/Roms/ run the update.

no more worries, have fun flashing all the roms you want.

X1i won't load ROM in bootloader mode

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
Per the above thread, here is where I am:
Step 1 (preparations)
DONE
Step 2
-I formatted a card with FAT32 ("e:/ fs: fat32") method on XP
-downloaded a ROM from here (Touch-IT Xperience v2.1)
-extracted the files
-renamed the .nbh file "Kovsimg.nbh"
-copied Kovsimg.nbh to the card detailed above
-inserted card into X1i
-powered off X1i
-entered bootloader mode
From there, the 4 color screen comes up and turns white. Phone says it can't find the image. returns to 4 color screen and says "serial" in the bottom color bar. I can pull the battery out and phone reverts. I'm not SUPER technical, so I don't know what I am doing wrong. Any ideas?

get the harspl app and flash it, after that it will get in to bootmode and automaticly flash from your card

I already have HardSPL on the phone. That was included in step 1 of the referenced link.

Try it again when the bootloader comes up does it say Olinex xxxx? If not then it didnt flash correctly.

It did say Olinex!
Hmm... it must not have flashed correctly then. What causes that usually? I'll try again later tonight. Thanks for the heads up, guys!

if it's not finding the image file the hardspl won't make any difference, but it sounds like you've got that stage sorted.
I'm presuming the file isn't named correctly. Double/triple/quadruple check the file name on the card and that the file is on the root of the card. (I managed to get a space into a nbh file today, it didn't pick it up).
How are you copying the file across to the card? double check that its the same size on the card as it is where you downloaded it. However even if it isn't I still think that the bootloader will find it.
Try re-extracting it and copying it again.

my EXACT path is "E:/Kovsimg.nbh" where E:/ is my SD card. File is verified on the card as same size as on the computer. I copied it with the drag and drop method between windows on XP.
I'm charging up the phone again to reload HardSPL

Thanks guys! Now running Xperience v2.1 and it is SO much better than stock!

What was the issue? Glad you got it sorted.

Flashing Touch-IT Leo v11 - Code 00068002 ???

Haha, i found the solution.
Thanks!

Try activisync metod with notebook!

Will do in a sec.
When i have placed it onto MicroSD card it changes name to only Kovsimg, shall i rename it .nbh again?

Hi!
Have you done the Hard Spl first before you can use these Custom Roms?? Read the sticki threads about how it´s done.
I don´t know if this is the problem but you said that you have a orginal danish 6.1 Rom. So just try it out and read the stickies first and then put it on the mem card and with the name kovsimg.nbh.
Good Luck from a swede!
Br!

I've used serveral other cooked roms.
But shall i rename it againt to .nbh?

Just try to format the mem card again and then copy over the file kovsimg.nbh to the mem card again. Try this first, if i does´nt work try to update with Custom RUU instead. You know how to do it?
//Giganten79

I don't know how to update with custom RUU?
I have just tried on an XP notebook with acticesync. Same problem.

file must be named kovsimg.nbh so Yes you need to keep the extension.

you probably should set up your folders configuration to show file extensions!

Maybe a stupid question, but how do i do that?

Now i have tried all sorts of things like formatting the mem card, and changing the name of the file to .nbh.
But it still looks like the picture...
What i do?

buddy i think that its ur mmc.
it happened to me too it said "no img file found" when i used my 1 GB micro SD card, but worked fine with my 8GB.
I think it was due to my 8GB being Micro SD HC.
Its just a guess this difference did have an effect on my HTC Universal back a year.
Is this the first time ur updating ur rom?
I suggest u get another micro SD HC card, perhaps borrow from ur friend first to see if this really is the issue.

and another thing;
just changing the name of the file doesn't change it into a .nbh file.
if you are using windows, go to the folder >Tools (on top bar)> Folder Options> General Tab> And UNCHECK the box which says "hide extensions of known file types".
Then you rename the file to KOVSIMG.nbh
If you are using VISTA, you would have to go into folder options from the control panel.
And then try again, and lets see if it works.

as said in other place
extract the 7z file
dont rename it..
u can rename the ruu.signed.nbh after extracting it

in windows, look somewhere in control panel, folder options, something like 'hide file extensions of known file types' and uncheck. because, i assume your konvskyimg.nbh file didn't show it's extension ...

Image file not found, help please!

Hello people.
I have minor problem over here, I have flased my rom before but in a different way Through the xperia x1 phone with the usb cable in, all I had to do was to install a file through the pc.
But there is another way Id like to do it now, I have a .image file and have renamed it to "kovsimg.image" and I did also install HARD_SPL before.
To make it easier for u to help me.
1. Install hard spl
2. put the kovsimg.image into the memory card
5. Remoed the USB cable
3. turned of the phone
4. Pressed down lower sound and on/off button together (I got to the correct place where there are different colors.
5. Image file not found!
At nr 5., that is where the problem is. Why does it say Image file not found?
I have also tried with .nbh file 2, occuring the same problem though.
Thanks!

The filename should be "kovsimg.nbh"

But in another thread that is sticky, said that it can both me .nbh and .image
So the fact that was said is wrong I guess?
Well that will not either fix the problem, before the .image I tried with a kovsimg.nbh file and had the same problem.
Thanks

Make sure the filesize is the same so you have copied the all of the file "kovsimg.nbh"
happens to me sometimes that there is missing a few megabytes and the phone dont find a image..

Im sorry but how exactly do you mean?
If you mean that the "whole" file maybe didnt get copied into the mem card?
It thats what u mean, I just checked it and both files are 213mb so :S

Check the spelling "kovsimg.nbh" and copy the file from the computer again

Atm I am downloadin a new Rom instead, there could be wrong this this I did download..
Btw, just a simple question. If I already have flashed a rom, is it possible to flash over a other rom?
I tried to make hard_spl over the one the Rom I already have, but no difference Well I will come back with information on how it went when I am complete with the download.
Thanks for takin ur time dough

You only hard_spl ones, you can make so many flashings you want but remember to do a hardreset after flashing..

did u try to search the forum?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469300

boy, you really haven't read the stickys or haven't understand them fully...
just be glad that this flash-process is pretty stable and it's almost impossible to brick one's phone beyond revival.
read them again!
but to summarize it:
- you only have to do hard-spl once. until you flash stock-spl (that's not stock-rom!) it remains there forever.
- regardless if flashing via usb or microsd, the filetype has to be .nbh
- looks to me as if you didn't change the filetype of the image, but just the filename. so it actually is "kovsimg.nbh.image" right now, which will not be accepted by bootloader (the tricolor-screen-thingy).
check these two things before flashing again:
1. check if hard-spl was successfull:
take your sd-card out, and enter bootloader. it will now stay on tricolor screen. there it should read "SPL-0.72.OliNex". (among other stuff)
if it reads "SPL-0.72.0000" or "78" you haven't succeeded in hard-spl -> read the sticky again.
2. check the filetype of your image-file:
get your windows to show filetypes (how depends on which version, google it) and make sure the file's name is really just "kovsimg.nbh", nothing more.
(via usb-cabel it has to be "ruu_signed.nbh", btw)
put the kovsimg back on your sd-card (directly to root, meaning not into a folder), put it back in and enter bootloader again. follow the instructions on screen.
if you followed these instructions correctly, it will work now.
to flash any other roms in the future you just have to name the file right and put it on your sd-card -> bootloader. (again, hard-spl will not be needed.)
after flashing finished do a hard-reset! when flashing via sd you have to take the battery out and back in to do a restart. that's the perfect moment:
- take battery out
- put it back in
- press and hold (!) the two silver-buttons under the screen
- press the power-button shortly (while still holding the two silver ones!)
- phone will vibrate and enter a white screen
- release the two buttons and follow instructions on screen

When you downloaded the ROM did you make sure to extract it first with either WinZIP or WinRAR before you renamed the file? ALL ROMs are compressed usually with WinRAR to save time uploading. Then you download and extract the file. Then you rename the image file to the respective name on how you wish to flash your phone.

Thanks for the replies but the problem is still here :/
I checked the bootloader and it said "SPL-0.72.OliNex", which means I have installed the HARD_SPL correctly.
Atm I have Energys rom installed, but I didnt install it the same way as this way I am trying to do now. I just had to have the cable checked in and follow an installation and it was done.
Right now I have tried with several roms but none has worked, for the moment I am trying to get this rom to work "Valkyrie_v3.8 FireStorm" without success ofcourse..
I did everything correct, I know that I have. I also followed a video guide to check I made it correct.
The file name is kovsimg.nbh (Ive checked it and it is a .nbh file, my brother also confirmed it).
When I try to flash it, the USB cable is out, the phone is shut (tried to pull out the battery 2), but still the same problem "No image file!".
And yes, I did first extract the file. The size has the same amount as in the winrar file so nothing is missin. After that I changed the file name and copied it into the root of Memory card.
PS. Is this the only way to flash it, I mean is it not possible to do the same way as I did with energy's? (Its the same way as installin HARD_SPL)

Try using a different SD card.

Befor this make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 using a PC. If not, it will not work.

or you could just do it the same way as the energyrom
i.e. customRUU.exe

well, sounds like it's your sd-card. probably formating it again with fat32 will help. there are also reports of some sd-models/brands not working at all. there's a thread for this by gtrab, i think. although there it says "kingston" cards don't work at all - i'm flashing with a kingston 8gb for almost a year now... ^^)
if you choose to get customruu.exe for usb-flash DON'T use the one from hard-spl, that's a special one.

try remove SD card and flash without PC

The SD-cards format is Fat32, but I used a different way this time by doing as Jonny~ mentioned and it worked all fine!
Thanks for the help, great service.
Take care and wish me luck in the future with my xperia

Problem with rom

Hi,
I've installed on my Diamond the Energy Rom and everything was ok! Now i want to change, but when i put a rom in the internal storage renamed "Diaming.nbh" the bootloader says me "no image file! try to insert USB" or something like that. How can i fix it?
Thanks

of course because the image file name is wrong! rename the nbh file to DIAMIMG.nbh with a capital letter , instead of " Diaming.nbh " as you write it

Oops.. Thank you!
