Since people are starting to have problems with their SEX1, I think its gonna be usefull to have this thread as a reference for fixing bad flashs and corrupted memory.
The method to connect with MTTY are the same for all phones so please refer to this thread to PREPARE your computer :
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290
However, the commands for the xperia are slightly different.
Once your in MTTY and Connected :
Press enter first to get prompt (Will Show as CMD)
---------------------
MTTY OUTPUT:
---------------------
CMD>
---------------------
type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
---------------------
MTTY OUTPUT:
---------------------
CMD>set 14 0
HTCST ÚÈHTCEUSB>
---------------------
type "task 28 55aa" to get your device formatted:
---------------------
MTTY OUTPUT:
---------------------
Cmd>task 29
Format BINFS start
Fill RSVD information for block 288 to 321 YOU WONT SEE THIS LINE IF YOU JUST TYPED TASK 28. YOU MUST TYPE TASK 28 55aa OR IT WONT ERASE EVERYTHING.
CE start sector=0x14, total sector of CE and TFAT=0x14
CE start start block=321, total block=1727
ERASE block 1337 FAIL !!!
Write 0xFF start page=0x5040, total page=0x1AFC0
Format BINFS end This part is just copied from the diamond thread so it might be a lil different with xperia. The important thing is to see the FILL RSVD line.
Cmd>
---------------------
type "task 8" to ask your device reboot:
---------------------
MTTY OUTPUT:
---------------------
Cmd>task 8
Cmd>
---------------------
Immediately DISCONNECT your phone
et voila!
If somebody know how to extract info's from the xperia bootloader, maybe we can know what other tasks could be usefull.
I think this should work for most people.
maybe you can also provide working mtty software and usb driver? thanks for the thread.
This should be sticky!
Thanks for writing the info, it is very good.
The working drivers are in the thread that is linked to in the first post!

You don't have to flash a stock rom.
Flashing a custom rom will also work. It will just format your phone and after that rewrite the flash so doesn't matter if it's a stock or custom rom

There is no problem.
The system will reinstall itself but any remaining information ( bad sectors ) from previous flash will be remove.
Your rom wont have any problems.
NOTE : Task 29 is NOT for XPERIA
after disconnect ????
all run ok with me
but what i should do after disconnect my phone, how can i do these step
((7: Immediately DISCONNECT your device and hold "Vol Down and Back" (Back = Small Arrow above "End Call" Button) to Initiate ROM Flash
8: After ROM flash Hard-reset (Pen Reset, then Press and Hold Vol Down and Circle) again, on completion "Press Vol Up To Boot" Is displayed, press "Vol Up" and allow the ROM to boot.))

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem and I need urgent help please. I have ATT 750 unlocked and I'm outside the States now. My Treo was 6.0 then I upgrade it to 6.1 so far so good.
Then I saw a custom rom that I thought it was interesting. the custom rom was for HTC Dimond I think. without paying too much attention. I started the upgrade. It went 70% before the upgrade crashed.
Now my Treo is not responding to anything. I have the original ATT 6.0 SD upgrade and I have the 6.1 lite upgrade. I'm using CheetahUnlocker to flash the SPL (that is working) but when I try to install the 6.0 or 6.1 using Kaiser Custom RUU v1 it crash.
I saw an earlier post that suggest to place the original 6.0 on a freshly formatted SD and install from there. that is not working either. when I try to install the software it goes into these steps before it crashes: btw, I have the tri-color bar and it has the following info:
CHEE100
IPL-0.20
SPL-1.40.01iNex
while update in progress i see the following:
CHEEIMG.nbh
SPLASH1 - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
GSM - OK
MicroP - OK
EXTROM - Fail
OS -
After the crash I get this msg: "Update Terminate Update Failed"
Any suggestion please? need more info? then let me know
Thanks in advance
Sam
Someone please help.... I'm sure someone has some suggestions.
By the way, I've tried RUUwrapper and that didn't help either.
Thanks in advance
I've got the same problem and finally I can solve my problem.
The procedure :
1. Open mtty and by connection via usb, just do :
Command mtty:
- task 2a
- flash:
[1- press enter
2 - type "set 14 0"
3 - type "task 28 55aa"]
you shoul see now the program runing a lot of things that I don`t remember what...
then when it ends try the SD instal...
If It still doesn`t work then:
[1- press enter
2- "erase"
3- "checksum"
4- "checkimage"
5- "task 0"]
then reflash your radio & OS by SDCARD...
- set 16 0 0
- info 7
- info 8
2. It means your PDA has no ROM OS and Radio.
3. Copy CHEEIMG.nbh (ROM OS) to formatted SD Card.
4. Insert the SD Card to PDA and just install by push the 3rd side button together with soft reset (by stylus).
5. Replace file CHEEIMG.nbh (ROM OS) with CHEEIMG.nbh of Radio.
6. Do same procedure as number 4.

- Now you should see something like this:
Model ID: KOVS*****
Target CID: 11111111
Version: 1.02.932.3
Language: DEU Remember what it says here. Could be something else for you, depending on the language of the file you want to use!

- Click the "Extract" button next to OS:
- Save it as OS.nb
- Go to "Build NBH" tab
- Select the X1 as model
- Set language to the value you should remember ;-)
- Click on "..." next to OS:- Select the previously extracted OS.nb file

0. Make sure x1 is hard-spl first - this is OK in your case
1. Make sure yr micro-sd is formatted w/ fat-32 - if you have no data on your card better format it again.
2. rename the image file (normally "ruu_signed.nbh") to Kovsimg.nbh, copy that to the micro-sd, and put that it yr X1
3. Bring x1 to boot-loader mode by turning off the x1 completely. Hold the "volume down" button on the right, and hold the power on button until you see the tri-color screen.
4. Then follow the on-screen instruction
"
5. After successful flashing remove battery for while
6. Optionally - do hard reset combo: press & hold two silver buttons under screen and press for short while power button, then follow the on-screen instruction
If you have no special reason it is better to use this method for flashing every rom.

Required Materials:
G1 / Dream
Micro SD card reader (phone will work in MOST cases)
Computer with Internet connection
USB cable for phone
Data Plan
_________________________________________________
Format your SD card using the FAT32 Filesystem:
1) Connect your sdcard to the computer using a card reader
2) A new removable disk should show up on your computer.
3) Right click it and select Format
4) Select FAT32 as the file system type.
5) Click the Start button
Download Everything Here
FILE 1 Download and unzip the RC29 or RC7 image file. Copy the DREAMIMG.nbh file to the SD card. (RC29 for US, RC7 is for UK)
FILE 2 Download cm-recovery-1.4.img or RA-dream-v1.5.2 and copy it to your SD card.
FILE 3 Download the Hard SPL and copy the zip file to the SD card.
FILE 4 Download the "1.6 Recovery Image" for your Dream/G1/ADP1 or for your Magic/ION/MT3G (This is NOT a recovery image, it is a ROM that you can flash from recovery)
FILE 5 READ THE FIRST POST and download the latest Cyanogen stable ROM then copy it to your SD card
STEP 1: DOWNGRADE
Our first step is going to downgrade your phone to RC29, This is like removing Windows XP Service Pack 3 and installing Windows XP Service Pack 1. It allows us to use a security flaw to gain root access. This section is going to use FILE 1 from the downloads
1) Turn the device power off.
2) Hold Camera button, and press Power button to enter bootloader mode.
3) You should see a gray/white screen with instructions to flash your phone with the update on your SD card.
4) As per the on-screen instructions, press the Power button to start upgrade procedure. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS.
5) After it is finished, perform the restart your phone. (May take up to 15 minutes to boot)
6) Complete the setup process for gmail.
STEP 2: ROOT
Your phone is now downgraded and we can use the security flaw to replace the recovery image. The "recovery" is kinda like a boot disk on your computer, we use this to delete, modify, and create system files while they are not in use my the ROM. The recovery will be used when ever you flash pretty much anything to your phone.This section is going to use FILE 2 from the downloads
1) At the home screen hit the enter key twice, type "telnetd" and press enter. IGNORE WHAT THE SCREEN IS DOING
2) Press Home
3) Goto the market and download "Telnet"
4) Open Telnet and connect to localhost : 23
5) Press enter and you should see a #
6) Now type the following and press enter at the end of each line
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img
cat cm-recovery-1.4.img > /system/recovery.img
7) Press the home button
STEP 3: HardSPL
Now we are going to change the bootloader or "SPL". Currently your SPL will only allow you to flash ROMs that HTC or your carrier have produced. This new "HardSPL" will allow us to flash ANY ROM we want. This section is going to use FILE 3 from the downloads
1) Hold power and turn the phone off
2) Start up in recovery mode by holding home and pressing power.
3) You will now enter recovery mode.
4) Press Alt-S to apply the update.zip from the SD card. This is the spl you downloaded.
5) After the update is complete, hold Home and press Back to restart. (May take up to 15 minutes to boot)
STEP 4: ROM
Now we are going to flash the latest ROM from Cyanogen. This is your new "Operating System". This section is going to use FILE 4 and FILE 5 from the downloads
1) Hold power and turn the phone off
2) Start up in recovery mode by holding home and pressing power.
3) You are now in recovery mode.
4) Press Alt-W to wipe all data
5) Press Alt-A to apply any zip from sd
6) Choose signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip (You won't see the entire filename)
7) When it is done it will ask you to reboot to complete the installation. Press Home+Back
8) You will be returned to the recovery screen in a few minutes, be patient.
9) Press Alt-A to apply any zip from sd
10) Choose update-cm-4.2.1-signed.zip
11) After the update is complete, hold Home and press Back to restart. (May take up to 15 minutes to boot)
12) Complete the setup process
You can NOT run HERO ROMs YET!!!!!!!
You may want to partition your SD Card (See Post 3 or Post 4)

How to easily esperiment with linux-swap partition sizes
So you want to try out different linux-swap sizes, but do not want to lose your data on your sdcard each time? Then this is the guide for you.
To start you will need you cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image (good thing you followed the above guide eh) and some basic math skill.
SETTING UP YOUR SDCARD
Well for this to work you will need to partition your sdcard a certain way, but only once for the entire card. BACKUP YOUR SDCARD!!!
To do this you will go into parted in the recovery console with these commands
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print
Do not leave this screen we will come back to it
After you type print you will want to look for the line that says
Disk Size /dev/block/mmcblk0: xxxxmb (you can fill in the numbers )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now for the math. (i will explain some of the reason behind certain sizes then clear up the line)
first line in equation:
xxxxmb (total on card) - 96mb (it can be as large or as small as you want it but the highest i have seen people go with good results is 96mb)
so the first line will be:
xxxxmb - 96mb = zzzzmb
second line in equation:
zzzzmb - 500mb ( most people and guides suggest not to go over 500mb for ext2/3/4 so i shall do the same)
so the second line will be:
zzzzmb - 500mb = yyyymb
complete equation:
xxxxmb - 96mb = zzzzmb
zzzzmb - 500mb = yyyymb
;where xxxx = total mb (going to be the end point for linux-swap as well), zzzz= end point for ext2/ beginning point for linux-swap yyyy = end point for fat32/ beginning for ext2
So now with the equations out of the way (yes, I do like math, thank you very much) type this into recovery while still in parted
Code:
rm 1
rm 2 (if it exists)
rm 3 (if it exists)
(for the next commands obviously you will plug your own numbers in)
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 yyyy
mkpartfs primary ext2 yyyy zzzz
mkpartfs primary linux-swap zzzz xxxx
print (to verify it worked)
quit (ignore the update etc/fstab comment)
upgrade_fs
reboot
Now that was the hard part, the next part is really easy.
TO CHANGE LINUX-SWAP SIZES EASILY
With the setup above your linux-swap partition will be 96mb by default, to change it you will need to do the following
Go to the recovery console and type
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print
Again do not leave this screen for we shall return momentarily
After you type print, it will show you the sizes of your 3 partitions. The third partition is the one we want to look at. You will need to get the start and end points for this partition.
(for ease of writing this guide, x will be the start and y will be the end)
For a 64mb swap partition you will want to follow this equation:
y - 32mb = y* (y* will be the new endpoint)
For a 32mb swap partition you will want to follow this equation:
y - 64mb = y* (y* will be the new endpoint)
Now go back to your phone that is still in parted and type (of course you substitute in your numbers)
Code:
resize 3 x y*
quit (ignore etc/fstab comment)
reboot
There you go, that is how you quickly and easily change the size of your linux-swap partition without ever taking the sdcard out of your phone.
Also you will need to edit your user.conf and userinit.sh to reflect the new size of your linux-swap partition. Here are instructions for how to edit your user.conf. (thank you kingklick)

because some people suck at following the older guide koush made (the one-click exploit will be patched soon) and this has links to newer roms, i didn't realize there was a more current version of koush's guide up, also this one has friendly pics
Also it's structured in a way that we can refer people back to it when they have a specific need like how to update their radio..... Goto step 6.
Oh and lets not forget that all of our ROMs will crash if you install apps2sd YET IT'S FREAKIN A STICKY IN THIS FORUM. The sticky also tells you to install cm-recovery-1.3.1.img.

Hi finger, or anyone with the kindness to help...
This guide is the most perfect one I think....but I still have a question
Is it necessary to have a Data Plan? or Wi-Fi will do the job? Do I have to unlock my phone before I start the guide? or It doesn't matter?? Thanks!

you can follow this thread for when after you apply the DREAIMG.nbh to activate your phone, so you can finish rooting it, this is the only time you should have to use this method to activate your phone. once you install a custom rom based on the ADP phone you can skip the activation till you have wifi set up.
New AndPart program is posted. This does not partition the drive for you it is simply a guide that does the math for you.

you left yo self out in the cold by being all like yeah "i'm hungry now, david" you got sent the same email (i didn't even get it originally, but i am still that good) everyone else did
So it appears there are several methods of backup the ext partition. Some zipped and some not. What is the easiest (can't F it up) method for terminal, recovery, and adb? I'm going to assume we should stay away from the zipped method.
I got terminal emulator commands down to 3 for backup and 2 for restore. in FAQ

LOL, you still got any chinese left. My fishsticks and tator tots just didn't cut it.
First your phone must be CID unlocked to make a backup image
Programs you will need
MTTY
USB Image Tool "Developer’s web site"
Instructions:
1. Open ActiveSync go to Connection Settings and uncheck “Allow USB connections”.
2. Put the phone in boot loader mode.
Turn the phone off press and hold the Camera key, now insert the USB cable, Keep holding the “Camera” key until you get the boot loader screen.
3. Insert formatted SD card, 128mb or larger.
4. Start MTTY select Port: = USB click the “OK” button, you don’t need to change anything else.
5. Type “set 32”
“CMD55 failed” = SD card not properly inserted.
“g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0” = CID unlocked, if not you didn’t read the first line of this post.
6. Type “r2sd all” this will create a full backup, don’t interrupt the process, wait for it to finish.
7. Type “ResetDevice”
8. Remove SD from phone, insert SD to computer.
9. Open USB Image Tool, select “Device Mode” from the drop down list, select the SD card and click “Backup”.
To write the SD image to an SD card select the SD card you want to write to and click “Restore”.
Now we move on to restoring the image to the phone.
With the phone on, insert the SD card in the phone, press and hold the “Camera” key and soft reset, keep holding the “Camera” key.
When asked, “Download SD Image?” release “Camera” key and press the “Voice Dial” key.
Hopefully that covers it.
This could be a viable way for people who have broken USB ports to restore/upgrade their phones.
Current images:
These are official stock ROMs
Cingular 8125 G3
T-Mobile MDA G3
T-Mobile MDA G4
I will list more as I make them

Tried image on my phone and it did not work. So I opened MTTY and ran ( set 32 ) and got
Code:
CMD55 failed
GetDeviceCID: Error - InitDecoder
g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = FF
I believe FF means it is locked.
So I tried info 1 which gave 2.21.Olipro.
Sounds like I broke the HardSPL but did not change the SPL from 2.21.Olipro.
Sounds like truly a brick now.
You are correct.
g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = FF
Means CID locked.
I noticed a few downloads have been made but no comments.
What I want to know:
1. Did the ROM images work?
2. Do you have a broken USB port?
3. Did you have another reason for downloading the image?
What im trying to get from these questions:
1. Has anybody been able to use these images?
2. Should I continue to upload images?
3. Was this thread pointless?

Well, i'm about to try to use the T-Mobile G4 image on my WWE QTEK9100 G4. Its stuck in the screen right after bootloader (that shows the versions) and i can't get it to boot or flash anything. I just want to get a ROM in it that boots so i'll see if that works.
Thank you for responding.
I noticed from your other thread that your using the hard SPL and your having problems installing ROMs.
With the hard SPL installed im not sure this method could help you, please let me know if it does.
If your still having problems let me know I will try to help.
Hello
i have a TD2 (r - 4.49.25.91 / d - LouMeiYin D) and it freezes before booting (when the radio and rom are shown at the bottom in red). I tried soft reset (it doesn't work), hard reseting, changing rom to stock and the back, and tried several radios (all these changes work but doesn't solve the problem). When it freezes i can't turn it off from the power button but need to remove the battery. Tried starting it without a sim and still doesn't work.
The phone shut down by its own and can't turn it on since.
Any advice would be welcome,sorry for the bad english.
Thank you
You may have a bad ROM file, try downloading again and reflash.
Also, make sure to remove SD card to eliminate any UC interference.
flashed with Duttys Topaz HG R13 [5.2.23569.5.5.0], still the same problem, stops at touch diamond 2, also flashed with stock rom.
the sd card is out.

and you've installed HSPL?
i have hard spl 1.83 installed
i've now instaled HSPL 2.51 and i'll flash again
Come to think of it, that probably was your issue.
HSPL 1.83 is only good on slightly older ROMs where 2.51 is current.
2.51 should solve your issue.
it won't boot with stock ROM,
hard reset = (i've pressed the power buttons + VolUp+ VolDown
-recieved "this will delete all your personal data ... press VolUp to restore"
- pressed VolUp - restore ... completed, press volup to boot and still stops at the same screen)
no, flashed Duttys Topaz HG R13 [5.2.23569.5.5.0] with HSPL 2.51 and still the same problem.
i can't figure out why it won't go past this stage...
I gotta go, but look into MTTY to reflash your drive.
Something seems corrupt.
Sorry man.
reflashed with mtty, and still the same problem. i think i'll use it as a brick
