Hi guys,
Just as a preamble, I have read and attempted the stickied tutorials regarding HardSPL and Flashing ROM. During each attempt I have encountered problems.
When trying to HardSPL, using the standard method, I was not able to successfully complete the update. The phone would go as far as the progress bar, and just stop and sit there at 0%. I left the phone for over 20 minutes without any indication of success. The HardSPL program will go to a fail and ask me to step-by-step restart the process.
I was, however, able to successfully up date the phone by using HardSPL, and booting the phone with the Vol- & Power pressed down. Now, when I boot the phone, the Vol- & Power method shows
Code:
KOVS110
SPL-0.78.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
If I use the HardSPL to enter the bootloader, it shows
Code:
KOVS110 MFG
SPL-0.52.0liNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
I found this odd. In the system information shows that the phone was updated to R3A011, it was R3A010.
Anyways, now when I go to flash the ROM, using the SD method, it goes as far as the grey loading screen, and sits there and does nothing. I've tried multiple different ROMs, thinking the ROM was the problem, but nothing changes.
I just tried HardSPL again, and now it says there is an update to 1.9.0, should I do it the same way I did above, or no? What is wrong here? Why don't roms load in the bootloader?
Thanks in advance.
Adam
Hard-SPL is not applyed to your phone
If it does not want to work with the standard method, try this one:
-stop your phone
-Vol Down + start buttons to start the phone in tricolor mode
-connect USB cable from your PC
-run X1_HardSPL.exe
-follow the instructions

I'm trying to run an upgrade on a tmobile device, I believe it to be cid unlocked as I've been running the Kjam rom on it for the past few months. It is a G3 device.
When I connect the device to the pc it connects with active sync, I start to go through the upgrade to another rom process answer the questions no problem, the device then goes to a black screen and after a few seconds I get the warning cannot communicate with device.
I have tried different ROMs including ones with no ipl spl, I have tried doing a soft reset whilst holding the two buttons, each time the same result - black screen.
I recover from the black screen by removeing and replaceing the battery.
The battery is fully charged.
fully charge battery, go into bootloader (hold camera button + press reset with pencil) try and do this CID unlock procedure again
I've upacked my shiny new XDA Ignito and followed the intructions to install HardSPL.
The TUT says:
<snip>
To verify if you indeed have correct HardSPL on your device, enter Bootloader by pushing the reset button while holding volume down key on the side.
It should display*:
* In case of another HardSPL, the version number would differ!
Code:
…
SPL-1.40.OliNex
</snip>
I don't see this - I just boot into the O2 welcome screen - the update took about 2 minutes - has it failed or is there anyway to confirm the HardSPL has taken? I don't want to install a new ROm until I'm sure I'm not going to brick it....
TIA
Peter
put your phone into bootloader mode and you will see that your SPL has changed to OliNex 1.40.
This information will not show on the normal splash screens.
to put your phone into bootloader you need to turn the power off on your phone, once the device is off, press and hold the volume down then press and hold the power button.
hope this helps
Hello.
One xperia entered tricolor screen (volume down + powering on) but now it cannot leave that screen, even if the battery is taken out for a minute.
Is there a way to kick the xperia out of bootloader mode?
The screen shows this, in this order:
RUUNBH (aligned right)
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707 (these last 4, aligned left)
Upgrade ROM Code Error (centered)
Please try again (centered)
Serial (centered)
(and it says USB if connected, of course)
I tried the 'reset' button but of course that didn't help.
I tried hard reset and it showed it was hard reseting, but after that, the same tricolor screen appears.
I tried also RUU with hardspl, and RUU with ruu_signed.nbh (supposedly UK official rom).
In both cases it goes to withe screen with the progress bar at 0% but stays there until you take off batery, then it returns to previosly mentioned tri-color screen.
Thanks in advance. HELP please!
Hi mate can you explain which rom you have tried to flash?

It didn't work for me. I pulled the battery for 2 mins, nothing.
1 hours, nothing. 24 hours, nothing... it still turns on to the tricolor screen.
I let the battery die completely... then recharged it, and same result.
I think I need the proper ROM
where did you get your phone ?
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.

I got the same problem too,, I try to use your " Rescue Method" , but the phone will turn off by itself when it is updating . I already try R2AA010 and R3Axxx....
I tried to do a TASK29 and somehow in the folder there was no task29.exe, so i used the ROMUpdate utility ..and asked me if i wanted to upgrade to somewhat ROM 2.0.0 (?something?)..(i thought that was part of task29 job...) and now my device is blocked in HTC white splash screen...
hard reset still same issue does...
is there any ROM Update utility that can be used without starting the windows from the phone?
or..what can i do to connect my phone to the PC?
i managed to do 4-5 ROM Updates without problems during time, but somehow..this TASK29 job did not work.
is it possible that i deleted the Operating system from the phone?

If am not mistaken, Task 29 did exactly what it should do which is wipe your device clean. Now what you have to do is enter bootloader by powering on your phone while holding the volume down button. If your phone is not off, do a soft reset by pressing the reset button on the side while holding down the volume down button. You should come to a tricolor screen and it will say "SERIAL" in the bottom. When you see this, plug in your USB and on the screen it should change from "SERIAL" to "USB". At this point open up your rom folder, click on the "Rom Update Utility" and follow the prompts and you should be all set. Hope it helps.

sorry. solution found
"if you fail to press vol down key and your phone get stuck on the white screen, just remove your battery, then try again: press power, and keep vol down pressed immediatly next, until the phone get to RVB bootloader.
When your phone is back to RVB bootloader screen, use the leocustomruu.exe provided with your favorite rom package to flash a new rom, or flash it from memory card using standard procedure."
you can close this thread.
