X1i won't load ROM in bootloader mode

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
Per the above thread, here is where I am:
Step 1 (preparations)
DONE
Step 2
-I formatted a card with FAT32 ("e:/ fs: fat32") method on XP
-downloaded a ROM from here (Touch-IT Xperience v2.1)
-extracted the files
-renamed the .nbh file "Kovsimg.nbh"
-copied Kovsimg.nbh to the card detailed above
-inserted card into X1i
-powered off X1i
-entered bootloader mode
From there, the 4 color screen comes up and turns white. Phone says it can't find the image. returns to 4 color screen and says "serial" in the bottom color bar. I can pull the battery out and phone reverts. I'm not SUPER technical, so I don't know what I am doing wrong. Any ideas?

get the harspl app and flash it, after that it will get in to bootmode and automaticly flash from your card

I already have HardSPL on the phone. That was included in step 1 of the referenced link.

Try it again when the bootloader comes up does it say Olinex xxxx? If not then it didnt flash correctly.

It did say Olinex!
Hmm... it must not have flashed correctly then. What causes that usually? I'll try again later tonight. Thanks for the heads up, guys!

if it's not finding the image file the hardspl won't make any difference, but it sounds like you've got that stage sorted.
I'm presuming the file isn't named correctly. Double/triple/quadruple check the file name on the card and that the file is on the root of the card. (I managed to get a space into a nbh file today, it didn't pick it up).
How are you copying the file across to the card? double check that its the same size on the card as it is where you downloaded it. However even if it isn't I still think that the bootloader will find it.
Try re-extracting it and copying it again.

my EXACT path is "E:/Kovsimg.nbh" where E:/ is my SD card. File is verified on the card as same size as on the computer. I copied it with the drag and drop method between windows on XP.
I'm charging up the phone again to reload HardSPL

Thanks guys! Now running Xperience v2.1 and it is SO much better than stock!

What was the issue? Glad you got it sorted.

[Android] ANDROID FAQs thread, check here first, please contribute

This is an FAQ thread, where you can find a list of common questions and answers. I couldn't fit it all in my signature, so figured a thread would be a better place. In general this isn't a place to ask questions; there is an Android Vogue port help desk for asking questions. I really don't care if you ask questions here and will probably answer them, but better to keep things organized.
Purpose of this thread is to have a list of frequently asked questions that link to answers. I will start off the list with a number of questions that I answer all the time. Other helpful people or devs that find themselves answering the same question over and over again, either a) post a link or b) pm me a link to a well described and organized answer and I will add it to this first post; you can also just post the well described and organized answer below. I'll make categories as the need arises. We have answers to just about every question, however they can be hard to find spread out between different threads, so this thread is the launching point to find them.
Also, this is a vogue forum. Feel free to link this in the android kaiser, nike, polaris forums etc, however I won't be linking to wifi answers and the like unless there is an uprising for me writing this

and I think that is enough for future categories

changing resolution when running from microSD card (ext2 or regular)
When running from the microSD card, resolution is stored in the default.txt file in /sdcard/andboot/. you'll need to edit that file one of two ways:
1. use a windows mobile program like Total commander to go to the file and edit the settings
2. connect your phone to your computer using activesync or USB mass storage while in windows, and edit the file using wordpad
Go to the second to last line in the file. note, some text editors will not see the hard returns in the file and lists them instead as little boxes; this won't affect the functioning of the file, but makes it harder to read. wordpad and total commander read it fine. the second to last line should look something like this:
Code:
set cmdline "ppp.nostart=0 mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=32000000 pm.sleep_mode=0 no_console_suspend"
change the width and height to meet your needs. see here for a discussion on different resolutions and their merits.

very good idea
i add it too my fav

how to change resolution of NAND install
BEFORE STARTING
1. know that there are multiple ways to flash a rom to your phone. here are a few
a. using windows, get a flashing package from one of the xda devels, and replace the RUU_signed.nbh file in that package with whatever you are trying to flash (try NFSFAN's package, it has always worked well for me for this; some carrier packages don't work), renamed the same way
b. use a 2GB or smaller micro SD card with the .nbh named VOGUIMG.NBH in root, then place the phone in bootloader mode (see #2)
c. use linux and HTCFlasher - don't know much more about this method, find it here
2. if flashing from a computer, I always recommend flashing from the bootloader, NOT through active sync. enter bootloader: hold down power and camera, then press and release reset, wait for the tricolor screen. then connect to usb, and flash away
3. Flashing etiquette: I always flash everything twice, back to back, for good measure. while the phone is flashing, don't move it, don't open programs, don't surf the internet, just leave your phone and computer alone, hands off.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Download the latest .nbh in the resolution you want from sourceforge. sometimes all the resolutions are packaged in one zip file.
2. choose your flash method (see above quoted text)
3.
-- if flashing from linux or windows, place your phone in bootloader mode (enter bootloader: hold down power and camera, then press and release reset, wait for the tricolor screen). connect to the usb cable.
----windows: rename your .nbh to RUU_signed.nbh, place it in the flashing package (overwrite the pre-existing RUU_signed.nbh), and run romupdateutility.exe. follow the instructions
----linux: I don't have linux, but should be straightforward
-- if flashing from the microSD card: see quoted text 1b.
4. allow phone to boot.
5. use app "rogue tools" to adjust the lcd density until the stuff on your screen size looks about right. suggestions: 240x320 use between 110 and 120; 320x428 and 320x480 use 160 (some like 144 for 320x428)

plenty of work for more than two , i'll add it, looks great; when norootfs method is working for your phone, would be nice to have it conform to that method.

installing apps without a data plan
the old AndroidApps folder for installing apps has been phased out. for those without a data plan, you must first download apps on your computer, and then either A) transfer them to your SD card and install using a file explorer from within android, or B) use adb to install them from your computer.
best way to find apps from the market is to look them up here, here, or here. then either go to the developers website to see if they offer downloads, or just google the name of the app and see if you can find a download link. you can also download freeware android apps from here (thx smarcin).
there are also warez sites where you can find free and paid apps but I can't link them here.
then get them installed.
method A - adb install
1. set up adb on your computer (see section on adb in this post to set it up)
2. open a command prompt on your computer. then enter command
Code:
adb install <path_to_apk>
where <path_to_apk> is replaced by the location and name of the app, i.e. /windows/mydocuments/neocore3d.apk. or even easier, from within the command prompt cd to the directory where the apps are located, and then enter
Code:
adb install <android_app_.apk>
i.e. adb install neocore3d.apk. it will install the file. that's it.
method B - storage card install
this method depends on having a file manager already installed on android. many chefs include one in their packages; if there is none, you would have to use method A above first to get one installed to use this method.
1. connect your phone in USB mass storage mode (see USB MASS STORAGE here)
2. copy the .apk files over to your sd card (you can place them anywhere you like)
3. when done, hit enter on the phone to disconnect, then click on quit in the menu. android will boot up.
4. go to settings > applications and check the box to allow "unknown sources".
5. fire up your file explorer. navigate to the directory where you copied the .apk files.
6. click on the file; some file explorers will give you an option at this point, click "open app manager" if it does.
7. click install. that's it, you're done.

installing android to the SD card
courtsey of umbilicalbungee with some editing.
Note: if you do not have GPS functioning in windows mobile, then to use GPS in Android you will need to unlock your phone. go here and follow steps 1 - 3 under GET STARTED.
BEFORE STARTING:
Make sure your micro SD card is formated to fat32. wouldn't hurt to do a fresh reformat even if it is already in fat32; back up any important files first.
GET STARTED:
1. Erase all previous android files from your sd card
2. Go here, download the latest basefiles.zip or haretinstall.zip.
3. open the zip and place the andboot folder and all its contents on the root directory of your SD card
4. download the build of your choice, it may be zipped, but inside you should have an androidinstall.tar file
5. copy androidinstall.tar to your sdcard /andboot folder
6. then on your phone's file explorer run haret.exe from /andboot folder on you sd card
7. click run and immediately hold this button as linux boots, until the install menu appears.
8. check the appropriate location at the top of the menu. there are options for location of the sys file, and location of the data file. since you are running haret, you can either install to the sd card ext2 (regular sd card, everything will get placed in the andboot folder), or to sd card partitions (if you created extra ext2 partitions on your sd card, you can choose to use them here). you can use a combination of options (i.e. system on ext2, data on partition).
9. choose "install system" in the lower half of the install menu. click yes, and yes in the two pop-ups that follow. allow it to run, it should kick you back to the install menu when it is complete.
10. choose "quit". android should boot.

You could also put your microSD card into a card reader, connect it to your computer and copy the .apks to your SDcard. Then go to step 4 and continue.

Installing apps without data plan
I found this website which has .apks for a number of useful freeware apps:
http://androidfreeware.org/
You can download the .apks directly from the website. It has Astro and a couple of other file browsers.
You can download the apps directly to your computer.

not everyone has a card reader, but everyone can easily use the usb mass storage function of linux; also very easy to use. great suggestion though, some may not have thought of that!

unable to install to NAND
Hi, ive been using android for a week on my sd card now and I love it so I want to get it on my NAND and get rid of WM. I followed all the steps of the tutorial carefully and successfully flashed the two different .nbh files many times. No matther what I do and how hard I hold the volume key up the installation menu dosent appear and the linux screen stops at : «Unable to open persistent property directory /data/property errno: 2 ».
It's weird because I went back to my old ROM and installed android again from the SDcard and as soon as I hold the volume key up (after prssing run) the instalation menu appeared.
I tried everything, formated FAT32 my sd card, going back to my bell stock ROM, searching hours on the forum and on google but I didnt find any solution.
Any help would be very appreciated,
(thanks for the FAQ by the way it's verry helpfull)
thanks in advance.

Image file not found, help please!

Hello people.
I have minor problem over here, I have flased my rom before but in a different way Through the xperia x1 phone with the usb cable in, all I had to do was to install a file through the pc.
But there is another way Id like to do it now, I have a .image file and have renamed it to "kovsimg.image" and I did also install HARD_SPL before.
To make it easier for u to help me.
1. Install hard spl
2. put the kovsimg.image into the memory card
5. Remoed the USB cable
3. turned of the phone
4. Pressed down lower sound and on/off button together (I got to the correct place where there are different colors.
5. Image file not found!
At nr 5., that is where the problem is. Why does it say Image file not found?
I have also tried with .nbh file 2, occuring the same problem though.
Thanks!

The filename should be "kovsimg.nbh"

But in another thread that is sticky, said that it can both me .nbh and .image
So the fact that was said is wrong I guess?
Well that will not either fix the problem, before the .image I tried with a kovsimg.nbh file and had the same problem.
Thanks

Make sure the filesize is the same so you have copied the all of the file "kovsimg.nbh"
happens to me sometimes that there is missing a few megabytes and the phone dont find a image..

Im sorry but how exactly do you mean?
If you mean that the "whole" file maybe didnt get copied into the mem card?
It thats what u mean, I just checked it and both files are 213mb so :S

Check the spelling "kovsimg.nbh" and copy the file from the computer again

Atm I am downloadin a new Rom instead, there could be wrong this this I did download..
Btw, just a simple question. If I already have flashed a rom, is it possible to flash over a other rom?
I tried to make hard_spl over the one the Rom I already have, but no difference Well I will come back with information on how it went when I am complete with the download.
Thanks for takin ur time dough

You only hard_spl ones, you can make so many flashings you want but remember to do a hardreset after flashing..

did u try to search the forum?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469300

boy, you really haven't read the stickys or haven't understand them fully...
just be glad that this flash-process is pretty stable and it's almost impossible to brick one's phone beyond revival.
read them again!
but to summarize it:
- you only have to do hard-spl once. until you flash stock-spl (that's not stock-rom!) it remains there forever.
- regardless if flashing via usb or microsd, the filetype has to be .nbh
- looks to me as if you didn't change the filetype of the image, but just the filename. so it actually is "kovsimg.nbh.image" right now, which will not be accepted by bootloader (the tricolor-screen-thingy).
check these two things before flashing again:
1. check if hard-spl was successfull:
take your sd-card out, and enter bootloader. it will now stay on tricolor screen. there it should read "SPL-0.72.OliNex". (among other stuff)
if it reads "SPL-0.72.0000" or "78" you haven't succeeded in hard-spl -> read the sticky again.
2. check the filetype of your image-file:
get your windows to show filetypes (how depends on which version, google it) and make sure the file's name is really just "kovsimg.nbh", nothing more.
(via usb-cabel it has to be "ruu_signed.nbh", btw)
put the kovsimg back on your sd-card (directly to root, meaning not into a folder), put it back in and enter bootloader again. follow the instructions on screen.
if you followed these instructions correctly, it will work now.
to flash any other roms in the future you just have to name the file right and put it on your sd-card -> bootloader. (again, hard-spl will not be needed.)
after flashing finished do a hard-reset! when flashing via sd you have to take the battery out and back in to do a restart. that's the perfect moment:
- take battery out
- put it back in
- press and hold (!) the two silver-buttons under the screen
- press the power-button shortly (while still holding the two silver ones!)
- phone will vibrate and enter a white screen
- release the two buttons and follow instructions on screen

When you downloaded the ROM did you make sure to extract it first with either WinZIP or WinRAR before you renamed the file? ALL ROMs are compressed usually with WinRAR to save time uploading. Then you download and extract the file. Then you rename the image file to the respective name on how you wish to flash your phone.

Thanks for the replies but the problem is still here :/
I checked the bootloader and it said "SPL-0.72.OliNex", which means I have installed the HARD_SPL correctly.
Atm I have Energys rom installed, but I didnt install it the same way as this way I am trying to do now. I just had to have the cable checked in and follow an installation and it was done.
Right now I have tried with several roms but none has worked, for the moment I am trying to get this rom to work "Valkyrie_v3.8 FireStorm" without success ofcourse..
I did everything correct, I know that I have. I also followed a video guide to check I made it correct.
The file name is kovsimg.nbh (Ive checked it and it is a .nbh file, my brother also confirmed it).
When I try to flash it, the USB cable is out, the phone is shut (tried to pull out the battery 2), but still the same problem "No image file!".
And yes, I did first extract the file. The size has the same amount as in the winrar file so nothing is missin. After that I changed the file name and copied it into the root of Memory card.
PS. Is this the only way to flash it, I mean is it not possible to do the same way as I did with energy's? (Its the same way as installin HARD_SPL)

Try using a different SD card.

Befor this make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 using a PC. If not, it will not work.

or you could just do it the same way as the energyrom
i.e. customRUU.exe

well, sounds like it's your sd-card. probably formating it again with fat32 will help. there are also reports of some sd-models/brands not working at all. there's a thread for this by gtrab, i think. although there it says "kingston" cards don't work at all - i'm flashing with a kingston 8gb for almost a year now... ^^)
if you choose to get customruu.exe for usb-flash DON'T use the one from hard-spl, that's a special one.

try remove SD card and flash without PC

The SD-cards format is Fat32, but I used a different way this time by doing as Jonny~ mentioned and it worked all fine!
Thanks for the help, great service.
Take care and wish me luck in the future with my xperia

Hey all, I'm currently in RA after flashing the recovery image , and I'm trying to install the FRESH rom on there but for some reason when I try to "Flash zip from sdcard" it's telling me "No zip files found." Why is that? I have the whole zip folder placed in the main SD card, so why is it telling me it's not found?

I responded to you on http://GeekFor.Me, but the reason is because RA looks in the root of sdcard, the zips can't be inside of any folders.

So does that mean I have to take out all the individual files and place them directly into the root of the sdcard? Because I just basically copied the download folder and dropped it into the root. Thanks for the reply

You need to leave the files in a .zip, but yea that zip needs to be on the root of the sdcard.
The only file you need to install the rom is fresh-cdma-hero-20d.zip (for fresh rom 2.0d). Any other zips are just addons or tweaks or whatever they may be.

Hmm, I'm on a Mac and maybe it's me but the link I download from gives me an actual folder rather than a zip. And when I rename the folder to a zip, it gives an error. Is there a mirror link to download an actual zip folder?

Boogie when you download it dont opening after it finishes downloading .. just use the finder to navigate to where its at and then copy that to your sd .. when you open it on a mac it will automatically create the extracted folder .. hope this helps ...

Sounds like your using Safari to download it. To make this easier in the future go to Safari > Preferences > General and make sure that "Open safe files after downloading" is NOT check-marked.
Safari is unpacking the zip file for you. The file you want is in your trash bin, drag it to the root of your SD card and that's it..

Ok I'm gonna give it another go. Since I made it all the way through to the RA stage, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to flash the rom is there?

Thanks for all the help everyone I finally got it to flash the FRESH rom, but once I rebooted it, it's still in the "HTC" branded screen. Is it loading? It's not going anywhere but this screen, although I know it's doing something because the animation shine is moving.

After flashing a new ROM, it can take up to 10 minutes or so to load.

Nice Everything is all good! Now my last question is how do I get the removed apps from the ROM back onto here? I actually prefer to have some of those programs back onto the phone.

There is a link in the release notes to download all the removed apk's from Fresh Rom. You will then need to use adb push to push them back to /system/app. Search for how to setup adb on a mac as I honestly don't know.

also which files must i download becuase ive only download the System pack in Post #4 and like i said there is only 1 file there

I'm also a noob, but I figured it out.
1. download the other file on post #4. The "bundle."
2. open up windows explorer, if you're running windows, so you can open up the SD card. Make sure it's formatted in FAT32 (right click on the SD card in explorer and look through the properties, or just click "format."
3.unzip the bundle file, there should be a folder named "andboot" in it.
4. copy everything from "andboot" and copy it to the SD card.
5. Go into the folder, in all the junk you just copied, called Startup Config.
6. Find your model, "Topaz" and copy the statrup.txt file, not the other one.
7. Go back up to the top of the SD card and paste it there.
8. Disconnect the phone, and go in through file explorer and run the file Harnet.exe on the SD card.
It will take some time, but it should all boot up fine.
Watch the video, it should help, if not, ask more questions.
(it wouldn't let me post the link, so search youtube for TheDeadCPU and watch his video on XDAndroid 2.2)

I installed the XDANDROID 2.2 on my HTC DT2. It works fine the only BIG problem I have is I can't type in the terminal emulator for some unknown reason.
I tried everything and don't know what to try anymore.
