Unable to fix Stuck @ splash screen.... Can I use miniSD reflash?

My wizard (Cingular 8125) becomes unstable recently so I decide to reflash. Due to my stupidity, my laptop went to sleep mode while flashing. I thought I bricked my phone but it seems semi-bricked. After looking around, I try to fix using bootloader mode (holding the camera button while turn on) and I can get to the bootloader mode but my Window refuse to connect.
I'm running Vista and it doesn't connect. Try killing Mobile Device Center thread and changed the PPC driver and still not connect. Try the "vista flash guide" sticky above but doesn't work....
So, is it possible to do this via miniSD? I don't have any backup. My previous ROM was original Faria WM6 rom (old one, not his recent one)......
Help needed.....

Well,I wud like to advise you to first try to reflash with pc running winXP,as it's highly recommended,as win Vista still has many issues.
Secondly,to flash through MiniSd,your phone must be CID unlocked and a working Rom is already backed up on a MiniSd card.

I already have the phone CID-unlocked before my previous flash. I have been using Faria ROM for about a year but it's just start having problem recently.
I do not have access to XP machine that I can mess with now. It would be great if I could have some vanilla ROM updated via SD while I'm waiting....

i would like to know how to flash via SD also my usb port is broken and haven't been able to update my rom for months now

If the phone is CID unlocked and you already have a backup of the rom on a Minisd card,Yes! its possible using the MTTY 'rs2d.all' command.Read here how to do it:-

X1 ROM Upgrade Failure

Hi All,
I've just attempted to upgrade my X1's ROM via the Upgrade Service tool downloaded from the Sony Ericsson Website. Unfortunately, it froze at 69%. Neither trying to restart the device nor re-installing the ROM seemed to work. Which I got to the multi-colored screen it jus spelled "Upgrade ROM code error". I attemped using MTTY to reboot the device, but it seemed to be stuck at the Sony Ericsson Logo screen and not moving there after.
Was wondering if any of you have experience this before and would be exceedingly delighted to hear any advices on how I could fix this. thanks

Try flashing the ROM via micro-sd card as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445662

I don't think 'chongchian' has the X1 hardspl, otherwise it wouldn't work on SE upgrade service...
Better wait if someone else has any better ideas

I think there is no need for hardspl if you are updating via the SE update service. Suggestion of skycamefalling is the best possible solution, using the micro-sd card.

This is incorrect information...I have mine hardspl'd and seus updates it fine...I would try re-running the seus update program..as long as its in bootloader it should work and attempt to reflash the device.

SEUS wouldn't let me update it after I HARD SPL flashed it.

Then something else is wrong...lol

Please help me, I am almost hopeless now
I had my X1 with Dutch ROM, so I had it Hard-SPL, and it confirmed 0.72.Oli.Nex
After that, I tried to flash a new English ROM on my PC, but it fall at 10% (ROM Code error).
I had to use MTTY to boot it, so that problem was solved, but the WinCE OS seemed to be destroyed during the process, so when I turned on the phone, it always stuck at the SonyE Bootscreen.
And then, I bought a microSD and formatted it with FAT32, download a ROM,extract it to .img file, change the name and filetype to Kovsimg.nbh, copy the ROM to microSD, flash it, but it said No Image Found
Please, please help me
Please tell me what I have to do now.
My X1 doesn't have any guarranty

SE Updater failed to install new rom, what is the best thing to do now?

Hello,
I know you guys got some excellent walkthroughs, roms, programs and threads where you've helped a lot of people out but I could really use some personal feedback. I had hoped to fix my phone using one of the excisting threads but unfortunalty I can't get it to work with those.
My problem is one I've seen more of in here, I used the SE updater and it froze at 53%, I did what the program said, reconnected and it froze again at 12%, and again, again, etc. So I disconnected thinking it might be a bad USB port. But then the updater didn't recognise my phone at all. So I used the mtty program suggested in some of the threads and I got past the red/green/blue screen but now it's stuck at the Sony Ericson logo, as if WM6.1 is gone.
This is what the red/green/blue screen currently states:
KOV110
SPL-0.78.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
From what I gather this means I can't flash roms, right? I tried making it a hard-spl but when I use the tool it says it can't connect.
So is there anyway to get a rom on it and bring it back to life?
Thanks inadvance!

Get an original rom from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
copy .nbh file from the package onto your sd card and rename it to : Kovsimg.nbh then bring phone into boot loader via : vol down + power.
It should flash the rom now. i the problem is still present after that you
have to deal with mTTy but first try the flash...
i think you could also bring phone into bootloader without sd card inserted then connect usb cable, display should now print 'USB',and after that start rom update utility.
regards

Thank you for your reply, I will do as you said although I've already tried something similiar to this. I believe the problem was that I couldn't flash roms from my SD since I don't have the hard SLD. But I will try it anyway as soon as I get home.
In the mean time I would love to hear more ideas about how to fix my phone.

You really need have to flash the HardSPL first as, based in your above post, you still have not done that. It will be useless to flash cooked ROM with that. If you can still power on your phone and you have an activesynch in your computer, i suggest you download the HardSPL first and update your phone using your PC. If you are successful doing that, then you can flash all you want.

original roms will still work with original spl... but nevermind =P

My phone can still power on in the sense that it shows the Sony Ericson logo or that I can access the three collor screen. But it won't launch WM6.1. I also have a problem with updating to hard DSL. It does recognise my phone because without it connected the program finds nothing and with the phone connected it wants to start updating. It says ''updating from image version: (emply) to image version: 1.00.X1 Ipress next and it opens a progress bar on both my X1 and the PC. But it never goes beyond 0% and then gives me an connection error. I think it has something to do with not being able to get passed the Sony Ericson logo. I mean the hard-DSL program does recognise my mobile but activeSync is never active because my PC doesn't recognise a WinMobile phone (since it wont go past the Sony Ericson screen)

Really? That might fix my device then. Could you suggest a rom from the long list? Perhaps one that works on all versions? Because I'm dutch but my mobile has always been in english so I'm not sure what rom version I had. Except that it was identified as an R2 Rom by the Sony updater before it killed my X1...

Go here
Find the latest stock rom for your country (and perhaps your carrier) and flash it
No need to have Hard SPL for that

Alright so I got an R1 original rom (I now realize that the R3's were originals aswell) and it worked! I'm not sure if it was the different rom or the formatting with FAT32 that did but it works again. So I'd like to thank everyone who was kind enough to reply.
The device is incredibly slow now but now I can use the hard-DSL installer, right? DOes anyone have a suggestion for a good rom to use?

DON'T hard-spl if you're going to flash a stock ROM. And especially if you're going to use SEUS.
Try flashing the R3A first. The R1s are way slow, as you've seen.

Rom Problem With my X1

Hi`Guys
for the last few days im having an serious rom problem with my Sony Ericsson X1 sines i was looking for an good 6.5 rom that fits and works smooth with my X1 i found an cooked 6.5 rom belong to HD2 aka Leo2 and i reveiw it and i like it so i charged my phone to the full and unlock my phone using "HARDSPL Tool" after that i upgraded my phone with the new rom ,i like it at the first but after some times i faced alot of hangs and bugs within the rom besides the rom overload the processor that would make the phone runs slow so i had to place back my original rom so i used Sony Ericsson Update service "SEUS" to replace my current rom and when i runed the update it asked me to place back the stock SPL and i did and runed the update again but it said that i have he latest software update so i tryed to go all the way around and use the traditional way to downgrade my phone but here is the problem when ever i start the downgrade prosses it gives me update error number {[260] connection} the update stop and start the recovery prosses ,then i tryed to reunlock the phone but it gave me the same error ,so i tryed to get smart and i stop using the computer for the downgrading and moved to flashing methods farmatted my micro-sd to FAT32 placed the required nbh file named with Kovsimg but when i bootload my phone it stops at the loading part without going throw the checking prosses then done the same with the the SPL but the same it stick at the loading stage ,i start to get hopeless my last option was to use the MTTY Tool but it only formatted the rom without flashing the phone

good info that
I read often that it might be solved with one of the following
1. Remove your SD card, run the HardSPL again, then reinsert the SD card with your kovsimg file and it should work
2. reinstall active sync via .msn
3. change the usp port and the data cable
4. disable firewall and antivir
...
But item 1 is reportedly the main reason for most of the error 260 connection failures.
good luck

Have you ever tried to put your phone into the bootloader mode and try to hardSPL again?
Are you currently using win XP? Don't use Win 7 or Vista.

Try installing the newer SPL and then install hard-spl on a different computer without your sd card in the phone.
