Help! I can't enter to bootloader. (waiting) - XPERIA X1 ROM Development

I bought an X1 from second hand with a cooked ROM. I then tried to flash another ROM with RUU. It stucks in 34% then error appeared. Following with RUU's recovery instuction, it got same problem in 39%.
I then tried to flash hard-SPL again with succeed. However, the phone reboots then stucks in the SE Bootloader Screen and can not be turned on again.
I found a strange problem which I couldn't even enter to the tri-color bootloader screen when my phone handed on.
(my phone is Sony Ericsson X1i)
Thanks in advance.

I can't even hard-reset my phone.
I am waiting for my battery charged upto 100%. Hopes it work.

it can't be turned on because there is no OS installed on your phone now, take your sd card out and place an rom image renamed to kovsimg.nbh in the root of your sd card through te pc. put it back in your phone, just start and it will enter bootloader again, and (if everything gone as it should be) it will open kovsimg.nbh, press power button, and wait

Thank you for replying my post.
But the problem is I can't even enter to tri-color screen by holding volume down and power.
Any advice? Thanks.

what does your phone do now when you start it then?

It stucks in the SE Bootloader screen.

I misunderstood you, tri-colour screen is the bootloader/SPL.
Your stuck on the SE logo booting screen..
I'm very sorry, but i really have no idea, how you could fix that..
If you can't get in the tri-colour screen, then there is nothing you can do.
sorry
maybe someone else can help you

Thanks for prompt reply.
But do you think X1 require 100% fully charged battery to enter the tri-color bootloader?

no it doesnt need to be 100% charged

What happens when you connect your x1 through usb with the computer?
Does your pc recognize the x1?

same problem, x1a dead , the pc recognize "Microsoft USB Sync",

If you've already Hard-SPL'd your device, chances are if your device gets recognized as Microsoft USB Sync (Even if activesync won't start) you can use the ruu_update tool to send the rom to your phone. This process (if successful) will automatically boot you into the tri-color screen approx 2-3 minutes in.
Hope this helps, and Good luck

Urgently Help with flashing!!!

Please,help me as soon as possible -about get out a boot mode.
Situation-i was trying to flash one of Radios from that tread (as always),my Xperia is Hard-Spl,i was renamed downloaded file to Kovsimg.nbh, copy that to the root of MicroSD card,then turn Xperia in bootload mode (4 color bars) (you know-vol. button and on simultan),the file was recognized,i got the message (as always) "press power button to flash ROM or action button to cancel",i pressed power button, flashing begann and was already on 100%, but then was coming an Error message-"Flash not complete and some about RSA too".I take akku out and put in again,and now-don't matte how i turn Xperia ON,it always go to Bootload mode and want to flash that file (and it will not flashed).How i can get out now of that bootload mode???????I read "press Action button to cancel flashing",but what is that Action Button???And if i even take out MicroSD,Xperia start always in bootload and want to flash something!!!!I sit down in Hotel now,i don't have a MicroSD cardreader to copy on MicroSD another file,and i can't use my telephone,because it start always in that 4 color bootload mode and want to flash something!!!
Ple-e-e-a-a-se Help!!!! I don't want to hard reset my telephone now,i just want to start Xperia in normal mode.
Many many thanks in advance,
Valery
P.S.Sorry for my English-it's not good and now especially i'm totally nervous with that problem...
Action button is the middle of the optical joypad.
to reflash connect from your computer with a USB cable and use the Custom Radio RUU
AND DO NOT GO AROUND FLASHING THINGS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
Thanks a lot for fast response!!!
I was flashing one of the Radio ROMs here in the thread,that was in the list as worked, maybe it was transfer failure to MicroSD card,now it don't matter.
I power now Xperia on, then see that 4-color screen,then now i see kovsimg.nbh- RADIO and "Press power button to start update image" and "Press action button to cancel update image". If i press the middle of optical joystick-as you said-then it happens nothing-i see the same screen...What schould i do????
This is the "n" time I write this:
Remove and reinsert battery
Turn phone on
Now you are out of bootloader
Thank you Gtrab for answer,
but it is what i mean and what is strange-i remove battery,reinsert it,push only On button,and i'm again in boot mode....Very strange,yes???

Strange for you, but well known phenomena: your flash didn't complete
You'll have to flash again from a PC or by copying a new radio file to your microSD card, or you can use "mtty"... sorry there's no other way but reaching a PC
I have notebook here,but i can't connect to my phone,because it start always in boot mode.Is here some method to connect to phone without Active synch in that bootloader mode???I understand now-i must copy right file on my MicroSD card,how i can do it wothout MicroSD Cardreader and only with a phone starting in boot mode???

you can't access the sd-card without a Cardreader but you dont have to. In the 4-color screen you should see the text "USB" when you connect the phone to the pc (as far as I remember, when the device is not connected to the pc instad of "USB" the text is "SERIAL"). In that mode you can use the RUU to update your device.
Mastermarv,
thank you very much!!!I was worked for me-i was using RUU Radio utilities in bootloader mode and flashed orig. Radio ROM-now it all started OK and all work again!!!!!Uf-f-f,so one "abenteuer"...
Thank you all the people,those tried to help me in this situation,much appreciated your help!!!!
Now i can some relax...

Need Experts To Solve This One....

Hi guys,
Today my D2 decided not to work at all when switching "ON" the screen stays at the windows mobile welcome screen and refuses to continue "Freeze".
I tried soft and hard rests without success...
Anybody can help please?!!!....
Doesn't sound good.
The next thing I would try is to take the battery out for about 30 minutes, then try again with battery replaced. I had a weird issue with an old PDA where on ocassion it would refuse to turn on, and the only fix was to leave out the battery for at least 15 minutes.
Good luck
Hi, though your question has nothing to do with any kind of development, , maybe you should be posting in general section, this is a wild guess, the answer to your question is easy, enter bootloader and flash the oficial rom suited for your device.
If this doesn´t work send it to your distributor.
Cheers.
ark666,
Could you please show me how to enter the bootloader and flash the oficial rom suited for my device?

Should i know???
By pressing volume down + the red soft reset button will take you to the bootloader.
The Topaz is yours, what language is it??
Maybe this post will help you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507232
I went to the bootloader by pressing volume down + ON/OFF button. However, at the bottom of the screen it says (Serial)...
My Topaz language or original ROM is (RUU_Topaz_HTC_WWE_1.39.405.2_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.20t.25.10_3.43.25.19_Ship).
volume down + the red soft reset button will take you to the bootloader.
Download the rom and flash it in bootloader, (tricolour screen).
Sorry but i can´t make it easier.
ark666,
I already went to the bootloader (tricolour screen) and I have a copy of the rom (at my desktop). The point here (correct me if I'm wrong) to flash it in the bootloader by doing these:
1- Go to bootloader....
2- Connect D2 to my PC through USB cable...
3- Then run the downloaded ROM...
Sorry but I'm still new to PPC....
Flashed the origial ROM and problem solved.

Default HELP PLS! Xperia wont boot after install new rom

I did everything as necessary (video tutorial). Upgrade works fine. I restart it. And then... nothing, freez (sony ericsson logo). Every time. I tried many times, but always the same... freez, freez and freez.
Can you help me? What can i do?
Thanks
And sorry for my bad english
Hi,
If you flashed correctly, then your first step would have been to HardSPL your phone.
If this was done successfully, you can halt the phone in the bootloader, by powering down the phone, then hold the Power and Volume Down simulateneously, and keeping both of them held until the 'Tri-Color screen' pops up. If this is successful, download a rom that installs via the custom_ruu program, and attach your phone to your PC via usb. The bottom of your Xperia's screen will now show USB.
Follow instructions on the custom_ruu program to re-flash your phone.

ROM Update issue

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.

[Q] Stuck on Htc Logo and can not power off

Hi Everyone;
I unlocked my phone for flashing custom rom. After unlocking i reebooted it and was normal. Then i flashed cwm via htc one toolkit. It was successfull as well. Then i go to cwm and made factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache. Then i go to install zip from sd card but i could not find my rom file. Thought, it was deleted while unlocking device. Then decided to reboot phone again to copy rom file into the phone and reboot.
But, when i rebooted phone from cwm, it stuck on HTC Logo( Quietly Brilliant screen). Waited sometime, but nothing happened. Then i tried to power off it and boot into bootloader or recovery. I press and hold power button but it does not respond anyhow. When i am holding power button ,back and home buttons are blinking but nothing happens. Almost five minutes i waited as holding down power button but phone does not power off anyhow. i tried all methods like vol down + power, vol up + power and both volume keys + power. But really nothing happens, just blinking back and home buttons. That's all.
I can not simply power off device. :crying:
I also tried boot device via fastboot commands but it says "waiting for device" means computer does not recognize device.
Guys, i need an urgent help. Please...
just keep trying to reboot via holding power or power+vol down. if it doesnt reboot after 30 sec or so let go then try again. if that doesnt work you will have to wait for the battery to die. once you get to bootloader use all in one toolkit to erace cache. then boot to recovery and you rom should be there if not boot back to bootloader and sideload rom

First thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunatelly, power+vol down does not work at all. Maybe i tried 50 times.
Anyhow, after battery die. How can i boot into bootloader. I mean, can phone be charged again in this situation? Also, even if i manage to boot into bootloader or recovery how can i put custom rom file into phone. Actually, i did not use sideload or whatever you mentioned before.
I am serouisly confused now and don't know what to do.
Anyhow, as you said, firlst i need wait to battery die i think. Then i will report back whats happen.
Thank you again btw.

yes your not the first person with this problem. hold power+vol down to get into bootloader. press power button in bootloader to get in fast boot mode. use all in one toolkit to erase cache and side load rom. i recommend all in one toolkit because it automates the process. just select the option then follow on screen steps
Good to hear that i am not the first person That means somehow there is a solution i beleive. Still waiting for battery die. even i had 50 percent battery at the begining but still it holds on I never say again htc battery is bad
I exeprienced that stucking on boot logo several times before with my other htc phones but holding power + vol down/up worked always. This is the first time for me that i faced with power button can not power off device.. Well, ,i hope i wish i can handle out this problem. Definetley with your help.
Regards,
I am having the same problem and don't know what to do :crying:
Today I just got my One. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, flashed Android Revolution rom. Everything worked fine for a while... I wanted to reinstall the rom because I wanted to change some options in the installer - I did not wipe because it was the same rom (big mistake I guess!!). After making the installation option changes, when it was done it proceeded to reboot but now I am stuck in a white HTC logo boot loop hell... (with the red text at the bottom that says "this build is for development purposes only" etc). Holy crap I never had a phone that I could not remove the battery. I cannot get this back into recovery or ANYTHING, it just keeps looping... computer recognizes it, no problem with drivers or anything it just doesn't stay connected long enough (because of the constant looping) to be able to use the toolkit.
PLEASE any advice?? Can't even shut it down omg. Do I have a $600 brick here? :crying::crying:

Did you read the other posts in this thread? The way you do a "battery pull" on this phone is to HOLD the PWR + VOL DOWN button for ~15seconds. Your capactivie buttons will blink, too. On my device, it took exactly 15seconds to reboot. There have been some reports of some phones that get so stuck that you just have to wait until the battery dies and charge it back up.
Alternatively, if the computer is recongizing it, try to adb reboot recovery to try and get into the recovery.

hi again. this morning my battery finally out. Then i put my phone to the charger and started it in fastboot mode( that is a good new) Then i left it for 20-30 minutes to charge a little bit for flashing custom rom.Then i went to recovery and started adb sideload. Sideload was succesful and finally came to aroma installer of trickdroid. I chose my installation options and started to flash rom but process was frozen on 10 percent. It was saying unmount system, unmount cahce and both of them has notification as "already unmounted". But installation was not going on. Then again i tried to go back fasboot mode again by press and holding power+vol down but unfortunatelly lights are blinking but nothing happens again. I think i need to wait to battery die again.
Isn't it quite weird? Why power+vol down combination does not work for me anytime? So, do i need to wait for battery die in every frozen? Do you have any ideas or comments ?
Do i need to go back to stock first ?
EDIT : Battery was out again and i tried once more. This time installation (trick droid) was successful but it frozen at the end this time. And unfortunatelly i can not restart (power+vol down) it again again Holy crap, i am really pissed off with this problem.
O..K...Finally, i managed to start my phone and now it works... Especially thank you skinsfanbdh for your support.
But still i don't know how to solve button configuration problem. But anyhow i think i won't need quite sometim to use it I hope someone can find a solution for that later.
Guide me with steps please
