Someone please help me. I have installed HARDSPLV1 and everything appeared to be working, but every time I put a ROM on my storage card as Kovsimg.nbh and enter the bootloader tricolor screen it just says
KOVS100
SPL-0.72.OliNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
then Serial in the white part
then it says Loading...
No Image File!
What am I doing wrong? I have tried 2 different sd cards and 2 different ROMS with the same result. Someone please help if they can!
Have you unchecked "hide extensions of known files types" in Folder Options and made sure it isn't 'kovsimg.nbh.nbh' ? (I've seen this case, back a few months ago.. the creator of the thread never listened though)
What is the filesize of the rom you've placed onto the SD card(s)?
What was the filename+extension of the file before you renamed it? ruu_signed.nbh or was it some .zip or .rar?
There's other causes of this error, but just making sure the fundamentals are done correctly
Thanks to the above poster for offering his help^
However, I got it working, the problem was I didnt format the storage card with FAT32 prior to putting the Kovsimg.nbh file on it. I discovered you DO NOT need a card reader to do this on your PC. The X1 can act as a card reader when you set the option to disk drive select the disk drive in my computer after connecting the device and Format it with FAT32 there.
One thing though worrying me, I was not able to do a hard reset after installing the ROM onto my device, I tried depressing the two silver buttons while also depressing the power button and waiting for hard reset prompt to appear, but the device simply botted up as normal. Although, everything seems to be working fine without the hard reset. Any advice?
a hard reset is holding those silver buttons on the front and the button at the back of the phone, take off the metal cover and take out the stylus and you will see a circle, stylus covers it the button, hold that button too with the silver ones when on.
Oh word. well I was going by what BioVolt said in his tutorial... he said hold down both silver buttons and power button... but what you said makes sense since that didnt work,
Do you think I should hard reset the device even though the ROM has already been set up and everything seems to be working smoothly?

Even I had this problem of hard resetting my X1 initially while flashing ROMs. Then I found out that the trick lay in pressing down the two silver buttons and pressing the power button and the moment the phone gives the initial vibration, to release the power button. This way, you would be able to get into the hard reset screen. Try this and see.
And yes, I think a hard reset is advisable.

Thank you for your advice, so you think a hard reset is a good idea even after the ROM is loaded and set up working properly? if you advise this I will do it.

u have to press both silver buttons and then just press power button once and let it go right away that should do the trick

hard reset is just pressing 2 silver buttons and pressing power button, but you have to release the power button after the phone vibrates. thats all

If your ROM is set up and working properly, then there is no need of a hard reset.
I usually flash through the SD Card method. After successful flashing message is displayed, I restart the phone and immediately perform a hard reset. Hope this helps.
^ thank you. Originally when I got the successful flashing message, I took the battery out and tried to do a hard reset. To this day, it hasnt allowed me to do one. instead of going the the hard reset prompt, the device always just boots up normally. Ive tried all different ways, hard reset by holding the two silver buttons and power button, and by holding the two silver buttons and just pressing the power button, hard reset by holding the reset button behind the batterycover with stylus and holding the silver buttons. All the same thing, just get the Sony Ericsson screen and the device starts up. I have spikegotti X1.5 6.5 ROM btw.

I've searched the forums, and can't find a report of anything similar...so this might be new...if it isn't, help locating a thread would be great.
- Downloaded Blackberry connect install cab
- Seems to install fine (log looked good before reboot)
- Press "ok" to reboot device, but upon reboot, the device screen is locked at the Windows Mobile screen
The unit seems to be operating fine... I can receive calls - the phone rings, the caller ID pops up, but it stays on top of the Windows Mobile boot screen...
The power button will not shut the unit off...only turns the locked screen on and off
Battery removal and reboot freezes at same spot.
I had deselected all the ActiveSync options including the 'connect via USB' option... and now can't view my device from my laptop...
I've had the TILT only a couple of days...I'm running the stock ATT Tilt ROM & software...added two themes (night palms and the planet reflection ones)... have a 6G microSD card with some songs, pictures, and a device backup...
Looking forward to your suggestions & solutions!!
I tried it on mine and it did the same. So I gave up and did the hard reset and started over without even attempting to install the bb connect.
after hard reset
thanks for the quick response...
the hard reset worked fine...
I repeated the bbconnect setup, this time installing to the device instead of to my card... everything worked fine.
How did you do a hard reset on it?
hard reset
a hard reset will wipe all your data and set it everything back to the default status...it isn't supposed to clear anything on your sd card ... i take mine out anyway.
to do a hard reset, hold both the soft buttons while pressing the reset button w/ the stylus (the reset button is on the bottom edge under the hard OK button )

One thing the instruction did not say rright was to hold the two soft keys and then press the reset then release and wait for the screen to give the instructions. Well the real way is to hold all 3 and wait and the process will be on its way.

this is just not working for me, how long are you pressing the stylus in? how long are you holding the buttons?
When I do it I get the AT&T logo screen (a short vibrate) then it continues to the windows mobile boot screen. I can never get the prompt to erase all data. I've tried the procedure a dozen times, no luck.
Make sure you are pressing the soft buttons and not the 'call' and 'end call' buttons as stated on some sites. Hold those and press stylus into reset until it turns off. Continue holding the buttons until the message comes up.
I've just had to do this for exactly the same reason!
I had the same problem on my Touch. After the hard reset I have found a solution: install application to device memory not on storage card. That helped me and now BB Connect is working fine.
Sorry if this has been asked and answered before... a quick search turned up nothing useful - but then I only got this device about a week ago and don't really know what to look for.
I pressed the Soft Reset button with the USB cable attached and the phone seems to have gone into some weird mode and now nothing I do will make it boot.
I'm stuck on a screen with 4 sections, Red, Green, Blue, and White.
The text
KAIS130
SSPL-1.93.0000
CPLD-8
is displayed on the red section, and the letters USB on the white.
I have tried soft reset (always comes back to same screen), hard rest (does nothing), taking the battery out and putting it back. All with and without the cable attached.
Is there anything I can to do restore my device or do I need to return it?
Many thanks for any help.
You may in Bootloader mode. You may have to force a hard reset. I think if you hold the camera button and power button while turning on it should bring it up, but I am not sure on the Kaiser. I am sure someone will post up the exact procedure. I hope everything turns out OK for you.

Thanks for the reply... I got the impression that might be the case from a google hit as well. Grrr. I was just trying to cure a 'not syncing' issue.
Alas I can't find anything to make a Hard Reset do anything - I've tried every combo of buttons I can think of, including the one in the manual and the one you just suggested... no dice
Oh well, I guess I have a very expensive paper weight
Press and hold the two action buttons (the - in between red and green buttons) and press reset with the stylus.
keep them pressed for a bit, then release only the reset button
press and hold the two soft key buttons and press reset with the stylus.
keep them pressed for a bit, then release only the reset button
after releasing the reset button hit send ( the green key ) it should show on the screen if you have done it correctly to push the send button to complete the hard reset, if not repeat the process again
if that doesnt work you can always reflash the rom using the original Kaiser rom RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88. 07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe
its here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331900&highlight=official+kaiser+rom
since its already in the bootloader mode it will be able to be flashed if it wont hard reset
Hmm, nope the Soft+Soft+Reset doesn't do anything other than the normal reset
I think before I try the ROM flash I'd better contact HTC and make sure I'm not voiding my warranty.
It's a shame I'm going to loose the days work
thanks for the help folks.
I installed the official WM 6.1 update on my Kaiser, and now it won't boot - it just hangs on the HTC splash screen. The bigger problem is that hard reset doesn't seem to work - I press and hold the 2 soft keys, press the reset button, and then it just does a soft resetback to the splash screen.
Can anyone help? Please?

thats because you are not properly pressing the two soft screens. Do you have big figures? if so you might be hitting the keys next to them accidently and the phone just soft resets when you put style in to hole.
Make sure you don't touch the other keys except the 2 soft keys together at same time and while keeping them depressed insert stylus and than keep this for a second and the restore will come up.
p.s. use chop sticks or something else or grow your nails a little lol so you can press the keys easily
Also make sure the USB cable is not plugged in as the phone will NOT hard reset if it is.
Thanks for the ideas guys, but still no luck. Fairly sure I was pressing the buttons right anyway, but I've tried with a couple of pens, and no USB cable in sight, and it's not done anything different. Any other suggestions?
Will the phone go into the bootloader (hold Camera button while soft reseting)? If so, then just flash a different ROM.
Thank you, that's sorted it!
Good to hear that worked. There have been some isolated reports on the site regarding certain OEM ROMs preventing the traditional hard reset from working. Look like you found one of them!
Can anyone help me out, I am trying to hard reset my phone, but what am I doing wrong?
My phone is turned on
I press volume down botton and enter round botton.
there after i press reset
I keep pressing the other 2 bottons
Still nothing happens, the phone restarts, but no hard reset!!!
I have 1.37 rom with unasigned hard spl. But I do not have any usb cable here at my work.
Help help help
Are you pressing and releasing the reset button? You need to hold it down until the device boots.
I had the same problem as well...couldnt get it to hard reset so i went through the settings list and did it through there.
Click on start, go to settings, then click on clear storage..choose clear storage and format internal storage...enter 1234 and then click on ok...when it asks to confirm press yes and once done it will then clear everything and reset the phone back to the way it was when you first got it.

Should I press volume down botton and enter botton when the phone is in windows?
Keep all three pressed down dont release the reset button ... It will go through , well did for me as I noticed it did the same thing to me. I only released once the screen had changed to the options for format
Or why not do the hard reset as i described earlier?? lol..much easier and dont have to worry about pressing 3 buttons at the same time

If I could of, I would of! I am at my work and I have sensative stuff on the internal storage. To big to blue tooth them.

Ok well you do realise even with the way ive said to do it, you dont have to wipe your internal storage??..you have the options of clear storage only...format internal storage or clear storage and format internal storage.
If your going to do a hard reset with the way your trying to do it...you will lose all your info on your internal storage...so it doesnt make any difference does it??. Your still going to lose all your sensitive info doing it the way your trying to do it ie hold volume button down, press center button then press reset button and release the reset button whilst holding down the other 2 buttons.
Not sure whether this helps, but I also had the back of the device removed when I did a hard reset via the button method.
Sounds like Spawn's solution might suit you better though.
excuse me if im wrong as i dont own a diamond (waiting for the pro to decide) but doesnt the stylus have to be removed or something like that to hard reset. maybe thats the issue? I think i read that somewhere.
Again, not sure but try with the stylus in or out or something :S

That's certainly the case on the Diamond as the reset button is beneath the stylus.
I have the same problem. I'm using TruxT rom. Cannot perform a hard reset. I hold the Volume Down, Center, Press Reset with the stylus in my hard and hold it until the device reset but... no "hard reset screen". It's annoying.
I've installed the HTC Scrolling cab from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343313) and since that my touchscreen don't work at all. There's only the D-Pad and all the hardware buttons that work.
I've read that simply uninstall this app will fix the problem but theres another problem. When I connect my phone to my computer, I'm force to connect it as an "external drive" because it's the way it was connect last time I did it. I cannot change the setting to "Active sync" when "Connect to pc" window appears using the hardware buttons so I'm stuck with a huge headache now. lol
Is there a way to force ActiveSync to detect my phone when I plug it ? My goal is to uninstall this app using ActiveSync instead of performing a hard reset. Anyway, it seems I can't do it.
Hi guys!
Yesterday my Kaiser hang and I had to do a Soft-Reset. Now, it boots into windows and immediatelly resets...I tried to make a Hard-Reset but it seems the soft buttons doesn't work, although they work fine in Windows...
After that I tried to flash a new ROM via SD card but when I press the Power Button to start the update, it does nothing, nor the Action Key to Cancel...
Do you have any idea of what it can be? I really need some help because I cant do anything with it....
Regards!

I think you are not doing the hard reset properly, since you are stating that the buttons work while you are in windows. Retry and see what happens.
Yeah does sound like you need a hard reset and aren't doing it properly. 2 ways to do it listed below:
-Press and hold the Left & Right SOFT KEYs and at the same time use the stylus to press the RESET button. Release the stylus but keep pressing the SOFT KEYS until you see the Hard Reset warning screen. Release the SOFT KEYS and then press the LEFT PHONE KEY.
-A software option is also available. Start> Settings> System> Clear Storage.
Type 1234 in the box and tap YES.
Sorry for the silence guys...
I'm doing the Hard Reset OK, but the phone simply doesnt do it...
Also the Power button doesnt work when installing a new ROM with SD Card...
My phone is in a continuous soft reset :s
