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???
Thank you,
Valery

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...

Powerfailure during romflash: stuck in colorscreen HELP

Hello,
Have of course searched 1st but could only find old solutions for older type phones.
During flashing of a rom the power fell out but I did not notice because its daytime After a while me laptop give out during the flashingprocess.
the result: stuck on the tricolorscreen. it says: romload process failed.
have tried to flash again, to hard reboot but does not work.
PLEASE help me out here....
cheers, flummie

Start the phone pressing the down volume key and you will get to bootloader. After that you can flash again

probably he also needs to put the .nbh file of the rom in the sdcard so he can flash directly.

no, does not work because you cant connect through activesync first..
would this work: use the methode of flashing through the flashcard? If i use an other phone the put the rom on the flashcard, then put it back in blackcome and flash????

Don't have to worry about ActiveSync - just put in bootloader mode (Power Button + Volume Down) and start BlackstoneCustomRUU.exe.

yep should work, rename the firmware to BLACIMG.NBH otherwise it will come up with missing rom. stick in the hd and hold down and then press the power button for a fraction of a second then follow the onscreen instructions.
if you get rom not found make sure BLACIMG.NBH is exact inc caps. but its a lot faster flashing this way anyway.

can flash from usb too from here as i done it before. just plugin til it says usb on the phone and then load the BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe , wont detect teh existing rom but it will show up blank with the on about to flash underneath. a few seconds and it will start flashing. hope it works for ya, did for me.

hi guys, thx for all your help. got it to work through sdcard flash.
this did not work:
pmcall: "Don't have to worry about ActiveSync - just put in bootloader mode (Power Button + Volume Down) and start BlackstoneCustomRUU.exe."
cheers again

why is it like this?

I couldnt find a good title for this thread coz i donno how to explain it!
See the bellow video, first i cannot get to the bootloader screen. Then when the phone is on, after i press the power button the dial pad screen first, and the calendar screen after that will come up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W1CJV0m3Ac
How could I fix this? i cannot even get back to original situation to get for warranty!
I think it's the source of my problem.
PS. i face this problem after i removed S2U (Slide to unlock) software

Can you get to the restore screen? (hold down the two front silver hard keys + Power)

With the phone completely off, You have to hold down the power + volume down button until the bootloader pops up...keep holding it until you see the colored strips.

Try Using the camera button i.s.o the volume down. Works fine for me on my X1

Try this, Connect your phone to the pc, make sure you are connected to the activesync. Then run the the hard spl tool, It should automatically put the phone into bootloader mode.

Thanks for replies,
yes i can get to the bootloader screen using hard spl manual tool, but it will stop on "Loading..." screen and it's not flashing!!!

When it says "Loading..." it means it cannot find KOVSimg.nbh on your SDcard or there is nog USB connecting through which you're trying to update.

i don no but did u check if ur volume key is working...also do a hardrest....stteing>system>clear storage

Yes, my volume key is working fine in windows with no problem!
Actually i've already did a clear storage but.... nothing....

Well I had the same problem when trying to flash from a Vista PC and USD cable. (for the hard SPL, glashing with a SD card worked fine, but you should disconnec the USB cable to be sure that it takes the SD card)
I used my wifes small netbook with XP and there it worked instantly. If you use a Vista machine, try it with an other XP machine.

Mark

Try other ROM, if it was stock Rom so try other cooed ROM, or vice versa

ok try this. Restore your phone to stock spl, Let the hard spl tool put your phone into bootloader mode. Once its in this mode, Try to run Sony ericsson update tool to update it to the R3A firmware.

Hardspl is completley not working!!!
Is there a dead mode method? i think that would help me?

[Q] HELP: Stuck on the X screen & broken power button

Hi all.
I have a Nexus one , rooted and unlocked. with broken power button
While i was going through an update using ROM MANAGER, the phone restarted then halted on the X screen, I can get in the fastboot screen (recovery) but without the power button i can't select any option and go further than that. and if the phone starts normally it stucks on the X screen.
I tried removing the sim card and SD , and tried the command "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-
passion.img" it succeeds flashing the file .. but what shall i do next???
the google driver (ADB) is installed on the device manager on my PC, and recognized while stuck on the X screen. BUT if connect the device while on the recovery it is recognized as "ANDROID BOOTLOADER INTERFACE"

How did you manage to fix your phone with a broken power button? I'm in the same situation; I have copied the PASSIMG.zip to the SD card as well.. how do I run it with a broken power button in bootloader?

Were you having a backup already present (Backed up using an App?) . If yes, then you can restore. But i don't think the other way around is possible.

If you plug/unplug 4 or 5 times phone boot itself (with an USB plugged in). Repaired a neighbour's N1 last month this way.
When phone boots, restart to bootloader and flash Blackrose, it uses trackball and volume keys to navigate, then what you want. You doesn't need the power button with this configuration (trackball could unlock the screen and to lock you can install some app or widget).
Anyway, I unassembled N1 several times (to clean it and to reconect the upper chip that it's been disconnected in a fall to the ground), maybe with a little care and seeing some youtube videos you can repair your button!

HELP! I bricked my G2!

Hello, I am a NOOB, and...
I recently rooted my lg g2, vs9803aa, using the one click root, but haven't actually flashed any roms on it. I put autorec on to flash twrp, and also had titanium backup on there i was looking at to try to back it up. I restarted the phone and it is just blank screen now. I try the hard reset and it just buzzes in my hand once and no logo appears on the screen. When i plug it into the computer it generates a bunch of local drives that need formatting, and on device manager it shows as QHSUSB_BULK. I read in other threads that it matters what rom you are using for the possible fix, but i never got as far as flashing one, or recieved an OTA.
Thoughts please?! I really don't want to get a new phone, but at the very least for now I swapped the sim to an old phone, droid 4, for temporary use.
Thanks for any input.

Hi,
Have you tried download mode? If you dunno how to, here's how :
" press power button and select “power off”. Then, press the volume up button on your LG G2. While you are holding the volume up button, plug in your phone's USB cable. Keep pressing the Volume up button until the download mode is being displayed."
After you are in download mode, follow this guide to go to stock : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
This should resolve your issue.

I get no screen prompts whatsoever, it stays black. I can hold the power button for a few seconds and there will be a single pulse of vibration, nothing else. It does the same if I hold volume down and power, as well as volume up and power. I even tried all 3 at the same time, same thing.

Let me make it clear. Turn off your phone. Plug your USB on your phone and press & hold volume up button and connect the other and of the usb to your pc.

Just had the same thing happen to me. Installed recovery through autorec and then upon reboot I get a black screen and everything else mentioned above.

I figured it out, as long as you don't mind wiping the device.
I used the SRK tool 2.1 to unbrick it. Link to post
After this I could get the LG splash screen again and enter download mode.
Then I used the LG Flash Tool 2014 to flash stock firmware back onto it. I actually downgraded to kitkat with the flash tool since it easier to root that way. Link to post

It was there when i extracted the folder, maybe you need to re-download zip or get it from a different source. I dunno, mind you I am still a huge noob with about a weeks worth of experience trolling the how to/fix guides and no programming skills whatsoever.

Maybe you need to go change a setting to show hidden files. I had to do that recently. I am using windows 7, it is in folder options.
