hey guys, few days back i strung the courage torgether to flash rom.
everything was going well till i noticed that my xperia was updating the rom and seemed to take forever to load the rom.
at present it switches itself on and off and says continuing to update rom and then a white screen with blue text says loading.
I need to find a solution to this as if i tell my dad that the device is cooked im in deep, and i also do not have insurance of which was a dull thing.
so please any suggestions and tips whould be much appriciated ty. x
I am no expert. But have you HardSPL your phone before flashing the ROM? That is a requirement.
For the current prob, I can imagine taking out your SDcard (if you are using card method) should stop it from reading the image. You prob have to hard reset the device for it to boot properly.
hey thanks for reply,
Iv tried removing the sd card but to no evail, when i do this the xperia is stuck at the bootload mode and says continuing to update rom, my battery has drained so i cnt switch the phone on, it has to be dne when on the charger.
and a hard rest does nt work.
Did you HardSPL? If not, you will need to do that first.
Anyway found few threads on it.

I've been trying to get my old extended rom and new Qtek OS on my Wizard (Vario).
But now it gets stuck in the spash screen (ie the one giving the ROM numbers).
I've tried putting the wizard into bootloader mode and I can flash RUU's but when it resets it still gets stuck on the spash screen and won't go any further !!!????
What can I do ??
Please Help
Cheers
John
I should say that I had flashed using button's ROM RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe.html
and this worked fine!
I then copied across my T-mobile Extended ROM and again everything seemed OK.
BUT then I tried to restore my new saved OS ROM using aWizard and this caused a freeze on my Wizard. It was after a hard reset that the wizard stopped at the splash screen.
Now of course I'm limited in my options because Activesync won't work until the Wizard has fully booted up.
I have tried setting the Wizard into bootloader mode and tried several ROM's (RUU Installer ones) but every time the correct splash screen comes up with the new ROM numbers but that is as far as it gets.
I also noticed on hard reset that you get the following message
Format FAT partition
Format failed
it then goes to the splash screen as before.
Are there any other things I can try Or will I have to send it back to T-mobile for a replacement??
(It's only 2 months old and I have re-flashed it with the orginal T-mobile ROM - but still won't go past the splash screen!!)
I live in hope
John
I have this EXACT same problem!
I can reflash any ROM but it will not go past the splash screen. Only difference was I wasn't playing with my extended ROM. I flashed the AKU2 QTEK ROM yesterday and have been fine through several soft resets, etc. This last time I was uninstalling phonealarm and after a soft reset I got a "could not find smswakeup.exe" (or something similar) and it's been stuck ever since! I also get the "Format Failed" message. Can anyone help!?
I think I'm going to have to send it back to T-mobile and hope they give me a replacement. Something is wrong, it doesn't seem to make any difference what ROM I used.
I think I'll reload the T-mobile shipped ROM grom the FTP site and send it back - and claim ignorance that it it suddenlt freezed and now won't boot up! - Bummer!!!
Right I've logged a fault and it will be sent back - let's hope T-mobile can't detect it's been unlocked and had several ROM updates - I suspect they will try a ROM update themselves then give up ???
The worrying thing though is that it IS possible to kill your phone with updates - maybe it was when I used aWizard to try and restore a ROM that did it??? I'll be more carefull next time!!
this has just happened to one of the devices im flashing at the moment.... absolulty f**king raging :evil: :evil:
i wish teher was a solution!!? anyone got any ideas?
activesync wont find it, so aWizard wont work.
i can flash between 3 roms without any problems (1.5.x 1.6.x 2.x) but always hangs on the splash screen. i have flashed back to the default rom that it came installed with it so i could just send it back to o2 (only 2 days old!)
i would rather just get it sorted by myself thoough so if anyone has ANY ideas then please let me know.
thank you!
Good luck! after about 3 days of trying different types of firmware, I gave up and sent it to expansys, for repair. And it looks like they've lost the bloody thing now. :evil:

same problem here.
tryed to write os with awizzard after changing extended_rom.
kills phone.
format failed..
Tryed different os's from win util - failed
upgraded with sd card methode worked.
in short :
you need a working wizzard to make a os dump on sd card.
Connect to wizzard with usbterm or romupdate.exe or simular.
do a rs2all command to dump os to sd card.
stick this card in broken phone.
hold voice comm button while resetting.
On ask press voice comm button again.
it bow restores the sd backup to phone.
saved mine.....
btw sd card backup can be read ad write by pc with util ntrw.exe .
so if you don't have a working dump i can upload one.
just mail me.

hard reset your device and hold your Camera Button prior to starting the wizard back on.
when the device turns back on, you will get the boot screen. Plug in your USB cable and load one of the known ROMS like the second to last iMate ROM.
This will allow you to get past the splash screen.

Don't worry, I met the same problem as you before, almost lost my hope, but finally I managed to fix it.
The solution is simple, that is to find an original SD card backup image from your wizard or others, then try to restore it in the bootloader mode. In my case, it said checksum error or sth else after begin restoring, and it gave up. Then I put my wizard into bootloader mode, picked one offical released RUU package, start reflash again. Finnally, I found the wirzrd works again for me after reboot.
I guess the principle is that the SD restore will destroy some import flash data structure before it said wrong, then the RUU package will rebuilt it wholely in the next reflash.
Hope this helpful, and sorry for my bad english.
There is hope
Last week after trying to downgrade to the original Cingular ROM on my 8125 using aWizard I ended up with a device that was close to being a paperweight. At least I thought so until I read and read and finally was able to get it to the bootloader and then plugged in the USB cable and ran the RUU for the new Qtek ROM (2.17). Guess what happened, yeah it worked. To my surprise I had a perfect device after 15 minutes.
For about 3 hours I thought I was a toast. Never will I do that again.
THIS is truly heaven for me !!

Im a bit of a newbie to this but i know a thing or two and im not daft! My mda vario crashed so i redid the rom and it crashed half way through taking me to boot mode.
I took maybe 30attempts at reloading the rom as everytime i did it crashed half way through! Eventually i got a fresh mda offical rom on to it and it started first time but then crashed the second time i turned it on.now once in a while it starts properly but will crash for no reason all the time! Ive tried reflashing the rom again and im stuck at boot mode once again!
Ive taken the advice of many of your post's
Ive tried new wires,differnt roms, firewalls off,internet off,active sync on,active sync uninstalled everything and still it wont upload the full rom.
Im a bit lost and this is my final attempt as ive spent too many hours messing around. by the way its a G3.
ANY ADVICE is so so so welcome as im about to never own a pocket pc style phone again. thanks alot anyone who reads all this and anyone that can help!
Do you have an SD card in it? If you do, try taking it out because it can cause problems sometimes when flashing. If your Sd card has problems it may be why you keep crashing when you do get a ROM on there also. I've read that taking the sim card out may also help.
I took the sd card out,and yeh it did seem there was little or no difference when a simcard was in or out. At present its stuck on boot menu again and im wondering what is the best rom to try? im pretty sure the phone is completely unlocked as it had wm6 on it when i got it. thanks again

Hum... by having WM6 is doesn't really mean its unlocked... they could have flashed it using ShellTools.
As I understood it, even if you flash an official ROM, the PDA doesn't work properly, hanging right?
If so, I'm afraid your Wizard might be dying - faulty ROM memory...
just baught it, it worked fine.. then i tried to install HARD SPL, my computer froze and restarted.. i tried to do it again.. did the same..
so then i tredi to install a rom ( probs a stupid idea).. it loaded up to 100% then told me the rom was corrupt! and it refused to get out of the triband bootloader screen!.. i tried to hardreset it.. stayed in bootloader screen.. tried doing hardSPL again.. gave me erros, and asked me to do a recovery.. didn;t work.. tried to re-flash the rom.. no luck..
then i tried mtty, followed the commands given.. this time it reset and got to the roms loading screen.. but doe snot load past there..
now.. it wont detect USB wont load... nothing.. hard reset doesn;t work..
wheni connect usb cable it comes up with an orange light..
PLEASE !HELP!!!! :'( :'(
What OS are you running?
I had to use XP to unlock my phone. If all else fails, you should have a 1 year manufactures warranty on the phone. Just call them and say this thing 'just stopped working' and cross your fingers.
running xp.. the warranty it void... if anyone has any idea.. PLEASE HELP!! :'(

You are first going to have to determine if your phone is truly unlocked.
I am not sure that you phone is bricked. But it does sound like you are going to have to be creative to undo what you have done. If you are able I would suggest flashing hardSPL via SD. Please go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835
ok i'll try this now.. can someone tell me what i need to do after this if it fails??? desperate here ..
thanks so far!!

One step at a time. You might have to get a card reader to load the microsd, they make adapters for them to fit a standard SD slot, plug it into your USB and load into it.
yeah.. i happened to lose my adapter as soon as i need it.. i have a hermes. can i run the software through that???
thanks

you should be able to load the software onto your SD card via the hermes. Once have done this you can then move the SD card over to your tilt and go from there. It's very important that you take your time and read the instructions. This is one time that you dont want to rush through them.
ok so i tried to follow the microSD card flashing method.. i dragged and droped the nbh file ( it was renamed) to the card.. put it in my kaiser.. held power button and camera button.. went to the tri coloured screen for about 2 seonds now its got a white screen just saying "Loading..." does this just mean its loading the rom??
thanks
an hour and half later.. still the same screen... is this phone bricked...?

ITS NOT BRICKED!!! If you are seeing any screen at all it is not bricked. if the rom is not flashing or having trouble, double check the hardspl. And lastly, when was the last time you wiped?
this morning, I restarted my x1 because it was awfully slow this morning. so after I restarted it, it stayed at the sony ericsson splash screen for long time and didn't do anything. I tried to reinstall the rom through SD and it didn't work. Then I hardspl-ed it and tried to reinstall one of my old kovsimg.nbh in it, then now....it won't even turn on!!!
Did I brick my x1??? HOW IN THE WORLD CAN I FIX IT?
my battery is fully charged btw. PLEASE HELP. THIS IS URGENT!!!!!!
I've checked on different forum guides on here and none of which seem to be having what I am looking for.
UPDATE: i just plugged in my phone to the computer and then it popped out a notice on my computer saying that the device is not recognized. "the device is malfunctioned and does not recognize it."
@[email protected]" so what am I to do? do I return it to the store and get them to fix it or is it better just to give it up?
Have you tried a hard reset?
I have, but still no reaction...
I am guessing the x1 is still safe in a sense since the red light is still on.
Can you put it in booloader mode? If so, what version of the spl do you have?
the Phone won't even turn on. no possible way to get into bootloader. when you say spl as in hardspl and also softspl. i'm not quite sure. i just found it on this forum in the latest forum updates.

So if I copy 78.Olinex to sd card and rename it to Kovsimg.nbh and start phone with pressed Volume key and power button it goes in Tri-color Boot Mode and hangs with Loading...

Please help me...
