Can't Flash - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A few days ago I could not boot my X1 after flashing to a new rom. It came up with "Loading" and no image found. I was able to recover it with MTTY using a windows XP machine. I am now trying to flash to the newest version of CHristian's rom but I can't even hard SPL without getting stuck at the "loading page" again. I am able to pull the battery out and place it back in to boot back up to the OS. I also tried to do the SD card method and that didnt work.
I think something is wonky as last time I hard SPL'd it was a "success" but it just reloaded an old version of Christians Rom.
Please help. I have searched high and low on the forums and all i can find is people with the problem but no answers.
Thank you!

hey im nt no expert but have you tryied hard reseting the device to default settings, then formatting your memory card and then trying to port the rom across? i wonder if that would help!

I did and it loads to Christians rom...

Please help...not sure if a moderator should move this to another thread or not

Shameless bump here. I still have not been able to resolve this. I can not seem to Hard SPL.

Answer:
I used the SSPL method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218 to finally get Hard SPL to work.
Hope this helps other people

Can't flash Kaiser HardSPL in any way???

Iv'e tryed to flash HardSPL to Kaiser... Downloaded various unlockers/flashers, even SD card solution... When trying to flash over usb with some Kaiser-HardSPL.exe - after entering tricolor mode and when progressbar appears it always stuck on 0%, and nothing happens... Update utility shows error (Rom update utility encountered communication error or smth.) and sugests me to do recovery. Tryed everything - SoftSpl1.56, Softspl1.93, SSpl-kais...
Other method i've tryed - SD card
Iv'e followed instructions, formatted card, copied those two files (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420683) to sd card, but after resetting Kaiser it only shows "Loading..." and hangs... no restart, nothing... just "loading..." on screen...
Bootloader menu shows following versions:
KAIS130
SPL-3.29.0000
CPLD-8
somehow... after trying another 1000 -th time... it just flashed...
Have exactly the same problem, tried all other solutions! any idea on what the last method was that worked?
When flashing via USB it will hang at 0% (and fail w/ 260 error on PC side) if the SD card is left in. I've made that mistake more than once.
Remember to remove SIM, too.
I don't have sd card and I've got the same problem...
Any ideas?
I have the same problem. I want to upgrade Hard SPL 3.24 to newer version. I always get 262 error. Also tried all possible ways (MicroSD uses FAT32, but I didn't formatted It, because I don't have SD adapter).
Sometimes It's shown that flashing complete, but HardSPL version still is the same.

Are you using sspl to upgrade? sim and sd out? usb cable or sd flash? Do you already have a hspl and are just upgrading?
If you're on an original spl you must use sspl to do it.
If you're upgrading then you can use the kaisdiag file by cmonex and an sd.
aaaaahhhhh

copy sspl.exe into your device and run it then you can flash with CustomRUU
to much better you are using ActiveSync on Windows XP
Thanks so much!!! i got it to work!!!! i actually used a jump spl instead, but i now am running win 6.5 on my kaiser!!!!!!! and i'm beyond stoked
THANKS Y'ALL!

error 00018003 TRINIMG.nbh - FAIL

I am trying to upgrade ROMS. I have the Ollipro boot loader - ALL OK, the Radio ROM I want, ALL OK. When I try to flash a ROM ([P3600i] Karmba_a v10.1 - Diamond [fixed].rar) or (cmE_0.9_beta.rar) or (n0610e_beta_m2d.7z) I get the above error. I am flashing by SD as I do not use Windoze on my PC. Radio's flash this way fine. Would this be the problem?

Hey, i think you have bricked your trin. Read my post also! there is a solution for your problem by making gold card. Haven't luck yet, but i still tried to get my trin working again.

Not sure if my 3600i is bricked as I have the Olipro 3.6 Hard SPL and I can SD-flash any Radio ROM. It is just the ROM it self that fails with the error as mentioned in the topic. Any guidance appreciated!
tchoklat
Hi all,
Most definitely it is not bricked. Been there with my tinity.
On my pda only the WM5 could be installed without the error code (i only could install it from SD, because i have vista on my computer, and even with trying to follow others advice i didn't managed to flash from my computer)
and after something like 6 hours of hard searches and many tries here is my solution:
1.installed Olios's hardspl_120 (tried both 130 and DES):
first i booted om WM5, copied SSPL-TRIN.exe and the hard-spl nbh that i've renamed it to trinimg.nbh, and run SSPL-TRIN.exe, that will get you in the famous tricoloured screen (i don't know why it only installed the hard spl this way, if i try to manually enter the boot with power+camera+the stylus inserted in the reset it didn't installed and i end up with "Upgrade fail" after 1-2% or i got i restart during the flash upgrade).
2. installed the last radio Trinity_Radio-1.50.08.11
the same way like the hard-spl from SD card.
3. installed WM6 ROM
I've taken a WM6 rom (the first that i tried was Mary v3.7) and installed from SD card.
That was it.... success.
After i've managed to put a wm6 rom i've tried wm6.5 rom and worked and a couple of firmwares.
Hope this post will help in need trinity owners, because i was last night very desperate.....and i didn't found any answers, just tried and tried and...... and hope this solution will work for you too.
good luck!

ROM Corruption Question...

Hello Guys,
I am thinking about Flashing back to my original ROM that came with my Xperia. I tried other ROMs, primarily Itje's, and they are just brilliant, but I am not sure how they be used as everyday ROMs. The Touch-IT 4.5 has the battery leakage issue, some SMS issue, and I really don't like the new Start Menu thing with TouchFlo. Even though they have a fix with for the Start Menu thing, you lose the Programs tab, since the new TouchFlo is not meant to be like that. I understand that there must be more solutions for that ROM, but I will be honest, even after reading as much as possible AND searching, it's just so impossible to go through those 100s of pages.
I also tried the WM 6.5 Beta ROM. Again, excellent work on Itje's part, but I just don't think I am ready for WM 6.5 yet. It's just not stable and that is understandable since it's BETA.
Anyway, with that said, since I am not very experienced with Flashing, I had a question. What happens to a phone if the ROM image (Kovsimg.nbh) that is chosen to Flash the phone with, from an SD Card, is corrupt? Does the phone get stuck in the middle of everything, and the phone ends up as a brick, or are there any ways to prevent this from happening?
I am just asking this because I am not certain... the ROM I backed up COULD be corrupt, I mean I don't know. There were no errors when I backed it up, and followed the tutorial with no problems.
Any help is appreciated, thank you very much guys!
I just got out of that situation. Tried flashing by micro sd way. Took out batt and micro sd, then used the USB flashing tool to flash a new rom.
Thanks for your response, dadeadman, but after reading your reply, I am a bit more confused (Sorry). Please correct me if I am wrong, but are you saying that you tried Flashing with the SD, it was unsuccessful (for whatever reason), you then took out your battery and the SD Card, and Flashed it through USB using the RUU Flashing tool? If this is correct, then can you explain how the phone even connects to the computer with an OS (ROM) on it? I would assume that if the flashing process gets corrupt, the phone ends up with no bootable OS, right?
Sorry for the confusion, I hope it made sense .
You have to put it in bootloader mode then connect the usb. The white bottom portion of the bootloader screen will say USB, though the mobile device cnetre/activesync cannot detect. However you are still able to flash a working rom with the RUU Flashing tool.

Help, BIG problem

Guys I have a big problem, please try to help me.
Ive been having my Touch Diamond for over a year now. I started to flash it 6month ago. I followed all the steps with Hard SPL and radio and then ROM.
I have been using BSB6.5 roms since the first day. But now recently when I upgraded to bsb6.5.1b, my phone after a couple of hours or (if am lucky) one day hangs, then I soft reset it then it takes long time to start then suddenly ALL applications and programs in the phone starts and then the phone warns me about program memory and then it hangs. I tried to flash over and over again but the problem still come back. Could someone please help me ? Someone had the same problem?
(I ALREADY SEARCHED FOR A THREAD WITH THE SAME PROBLE)
wow that is strange, try going back to a wm 6.1 rom than back to your 6.5 roms. Sometimes this causes quite a few weird problems like yours.
and remeber to hard reset at least twice between roms
I´ve read before in a thread how to reset the phone (boot, Hardspl, rom) back to its original form/condition. I tried to search and find that thread but i couldnt find it. Do you got an idea where I can find it ? I thought maybe I can try to do everything from scratch will help.
Is this wot you need big http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537496
ooh yes...thanks man appreciate
i would recommend you try the mtty method once:

help help help

Help help help...i just finished intalling duttys new leo 7 rom,now after restart my phone freezes on the 'smart mobility screen' i cant do anything more...i tried reset nothing.How do i get it to work please?
Have you followed the proper flashing procedure as explained here ?
Follow that guide and flash your phone again, it should be OK.
sounds like a bad flash, don't be scared it's quite simple.
if you are using the SD Card method, copy the file blacimg.nbh again to your card and flash again. or use anyother method.
i suggest that the safest way is the SD Card but make sure you have enough battery charge before you start
Has this been resolved?
Looks like it. He's posting in the radio rom thread today. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4862959&postcount=749
Lock plz.
it is specific to R7
I had the same problem with this R7.
To solve this i put the device in BootLoader mode and flash again.
But few times after the phone froze again and stuck. No way to make it boot cause it didn't go further than SmartMobility screen.
So i flashed a new rom to move from this scaring malfunction.
that is annoying cause this rom is very very pleasant and well optimized
