I've been using the Sleuth 3.0 ROM for some days now and sometimes it takes a long time to boot my Vario III. The next message appears after some time:
"The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source. Press END to reset your device or press any other button to cancel. This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory default settings."
After a while the device reboots and it seems like it's working like it should. But it's far from stable. I did not manage to boot my device without the message popping up. In the end the device showed me the "Tap the screen to..." screen.
I've attached a photo of the actual message. Does anybody have a clue what causes this?
I wondered if I would create a new thread. But first I wanted to start inside the thread of the ROM I'm using.
I've removed all files from the StartUp folder to my SD-Card to see if it solves the problem.
Unfortunatly it did not.
For the moment I've returned to a WM6.0 ROM to see if it's okay for now.
Had the same problem with the XDA Live 1.5 ROM.
I've repeated the HardSPL procedure again. After this I've installed the Sleuth 3.0 ROM. Seems ok for now. But have to test a few day's to see if it's reliable again.
For the moment I'm using the Treo 750 again
I'm sure this is a dumb question, but... Did you do a hard reset of your device immediately after flashing to the 6.1 ROMs?

Actually I did... ...what I did the last time was:
- Hard reset
- Repeat HardSPL
- Flashed Sleuth's ROM v3.0
- Hard reset
- Flashed Niki's Radio ROM
- Hard reset
Now it seems to work, but I doubt that everybody is repeating the same steps mentioned above...
Everything went well until today. Got the message again.
I get the feeling that it's caused by some program.
Why?
Because I did a hard reset and after this I did multiple soft resets.
It was okay. But as soon as I put back the Backup I've created with Sprite it showed me the error right at the first reboot.
I hard reset my device again and will see how long it takes when using a clean ROM...
me I'm having this message after trying to setup a cooked ROM for my HTC Touch HD
did I screw my device? !!!!!!!!1
Unable to Boot ..?
I had the same problem recently with a ATT Tilt 2 but I found that I had data corruption on my SD Card. So I copied all my data from my SD Card to my PC, re-formatted my SD Card, and re-copied my data back to my SD Card. I had a 8gb
SD Card. For some reason the Windows XP pc couldn't read all the data in the SD Card. That was the reason why I re-formatted the SD Card.
Now I have no problems what so-ever. So look at corrupted data being the problem.
bump
yeah ive been getting this lately, gona format my sd card now and see if that does the trick
just to comfirm, a format of the sd card does the trick.
back to normal now
(thought it was my rom :O)
Ok so I have replaced my Omap850_sdhc.dll to stop the soft reboot loop and now I have no memory card. It is a Trans flash micro card 1 gig. I tried INstalling the newest Sdhc.cab and certs.cab along with Sdmemory.dll and sdbus.dll but not working? Anyone have a copy of omap850_sdhc.dll?
I have also tried Omap850_sdhc_0404.cab which puts me back in the loop mode
Deleting everything on the card worked to reboot with out loop but as soon as i Install my apps it is back to looping? Do i have to reload rom?
Are you installing AudioManager by any chance?
This is useful if you load a bad image and cannot make an activesync connection for RUU flashing method.
This method works for any 6.1 and 6.5, and even radio rom.
*** Some Kingston brand may have problem to use SD method, no solution other than use RUU method ***
0. Make sure x1 is hard-spl first
1. Make sure yr micro-sd is formatted w/ fat-32
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. Make sure X1 is disconnect to your PC to avoid goes to serial mode (AC power source is OK)
4. 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.
5. Then follow the on-screen instruction
Thx, always using this system.
Sticky
Sticked this one!

This could be a problem with you're ROM language.
My xperia was english, so had no problem. 2 Dutch xperia's had this problem.
Just flashed SPL first, then flashed the english rom. And now the sd card method works on the 2 dutch xperia's.

I also got the same problem when using the rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2392404&postcount=1 but the flash of microSD method ran pretty well with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218&page=6
Does the device automatically reboot after it's installed? I just used this method and the device currently says:
'KOVSIMG.nbh - OK
OS - OK
Update Complete
UPDATE SUCESS'
It hasn't done anything since.
spr33 you take the battery out, put it back in and switch on
I'm having a few problems, I have the HardSPL installed but when i load the rom image on the sd card and reboot the bootloader shows a message of "no image found". Is there something im doing wrong? The sd card is formatted to fat32 and it only has the images on it

I was having the same problem as you, I tried everything finally I just used the kovsky RUU and used the pc update tool with it. it worked great. just make sure you take your sd card out before you do it or it will keep trying to search the card and say no image.
Problem X1 rom chang on english
I can't change rom on my X1 i have formated card on FAT32 my file name is ruu_signed.nbh i chnge the name on "Kovsimg.nbh" my device is set to tri color bar and on the screen i have Loading... and nothing else
can you help me ????
It works, I'm free and thank you
After weeks and weeks aof reading, reading, reading, making copious notes so that I had the process sorted from start to finish, I decided to bite the bullet tonight, yes, New Years Eve (well it is my new X1 after all ).
OliNex Hard SPL worked a charm, then during the micro SD method, the dreaded "no image file" message appears. RATS!
Numerous FAT32 processes, different ROMS and still the same message.
Tried the cable version using RUU and viola, I now sport the fantastic Touch IT v2.2 and NO VODAFONE
I would like to thank the more senior members for their cutting comments to witless noobs that made me read, search and read again.
Also to itje for his great ROM - have only just had a cursory scan so far as only just finihsed synch, and running like a dream. Donation certainly coming your way!
HAPPY NEW YEAR ONE AND ALL at XDA Developers from a very happy revitalised X1 owner!

Has anyone more of an idea why the SD card method is causing so many to come up with the "No image file" message" ?
The USB version works for me, just would like to know the reason for error message - in case need to use it one day
BIG QUESTION:
Why some people can't flash from microSD card ??
I had the same issue
After a lot of trial and error, testing and testing, I arrived to this conclusion:
IMPOSSIBLE TO FLASH WITH microSD METHOD
(Nothing happens, "serial" message or "No image found" message popped up)
a) When I used an incorrect format (other than FAT32) on any brand card
b) With two Kingston cards properly formatted
I have successfuly flashed my X1 with unbranded cards and sandisk cards,
but after many attempts and format variants I NEVER achieved a successful flashing with kingston cards
Interesting...
Hi guys! i tried 2 flash my x1 ending in f***d up device.
I did the following:
1) running the hard_spl. The flashing started and at about 50% it stopped went back to the stripes screen telling me file not found...serial....all the things you guys described in the forum.
2) I created a card with a Kovsimg.nbh and restarted the device. Result was the same: File not found!!! but i did all like in the tutorial.
3) I tried again with hard_spl: First I got an Error 282 then 262. The device changes from stripes to grey screen the bar shows 0% ......thats all.
any suggestions??????????????????
I am a serial flasher(!). Up until yesterday my latest ROM was dutty 3.3. All was working fine.
I flashed 3.4 (running BLAC_USPL.EXE) the storage card way, putting the storage card in once I was in bootloader mode etc. ROM loaded fine, but ever since then, manilla wont recognizre my photos, and is giving me a hard time on music.
In addition, without the storage card inserted, device runs MUCH faster than when it is inserted. i thought it was a problem with the 16Gig card, so I reformatted it and reloaded my data (which I can see on file explorer). SAME problem: Manilla wont load pictures and device slow.
I tried 3 other ROMS, including going back to Dutty 3.3. SAME problem: Manilla wont load pictures and device slow
I tried another storage card, this time a 6gb wich has always been flawless. formatted once on the device. formatted anpther time on a PC. SAME problem: Manilla wont load pictures and device slow.
Im going crazy. Can anyone offer some advice?
i don't know if the File System can make any differance, but try multiple types, format it once in FAT32 and test, then NTFS and Test.
maybe one of them is slow!
let us know how it goes
cheers
OK will try. thing is that the machine just gets slower and slower, as if some major process is running in the background. Ideas?
..and its a problem that never occured in the past.
I know it's a long shot but has any "crud" built up in the microsd card slot. If you've eliminated the sd card it's self and everything is fine without the card sound sounds like it's the slot it's self.
had same problem, reformating complately SD card helped me, try formating it again dont use quick format option.
hope that's gonna help you.
cheers
i figured it may possibly be a corrupt file in my DCIM (pictures) folder which stopped manilla reading the folder and kept it busy scanning the folder (hence machine slowwwwwwwwwwwdown), so renamed it, and the problem has gone. Odd, as I can read all the pictures on my PC.
thnaks for all comments
Did i miss somting, you say this is due to a 1.59 rom, only one i know of is CHT and based on your contry I don't see a match, do you have a 1.59 WWE rom

There's your problem - use USB to flash.

as opposed to the SD method? It may be that entering the card during the process (as outlined by Dutty et al) can cause other files to get corrupted...?
try hard reset after rom flashing.

there´s already a thread discussing this issue with a vanishing sd-card after flashing the new roms. Take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506560&page=1

Hello you're not alone in the dark
My Xperia do it in the same way. So i hope we will get an answer.
Additional i have problems to use the Internet yet. After receiving a config SMS the applications which are using internetdata didn't get some. The connecting to provider or wifi seem OK but no data for the application.
Provided the card is read, make sure you formatted your card properly with FAT32 and placed renamed ROM file into the ROOT.
It's possible to read the card (after booting the phone). The card is Fat32 fomatted and the imagename is set. But it's not only the problem to flash using the CD-card. Also trying by using the sync-methode will fail. I get the splashscreen with the bar showing the percentage. In the state of 0% i get an error message. No recovery is needed, but i never get the phone flashed.
My problems is exackly the same
If it doesn't work use the USB method, it always works.
Hi VingZTV,
You're wrong please read my post #7 in this thread.
I called it sync method, cause you are using active sync.
cu HAndi
I encountered this problem too. My present X1 (3rd already) refused to hardSPL or do anything with both PC (stucked at 0%, connection errors etc) and SD method ("no image file" later stuck at "loading"). Previous ones worked with either SD or PC method
This time I tried different cables and PCs and couldn't hardSPL
nor was the SD card method working, tried different cards and formatted one to fat32 before putting image file
it seems the problem might be on X1's where SPL is stock 0.78 ?
Anyways for me it worked finally when I tried hardSPL with RUU to 0.52olinex ("X1_HardSPL.exe" file) on a different PC and cable with a formatted card inserted where 0.78olinex was renamed to kovsimg.nbh (so ready to flash hardSPL with SD method which didn't work befere). The phone was set to bootloader by the program and then started flashing the image on the SD! (the program reported error as usual)
phone flashed it once, restarted, did it again and was ready!
Then I had no problem to flash a ROM with SD method normally
So I don't know what could be the reason it worked or it was a coincidence maybe try to:
WARNING: AS ALWAYS YOU DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!
- insert a freshly formatted card with hardSPL file (0.78olinex perhaps) renamed to kovsimg.nbh
- sync with PC and try to hardspl PC way like above and maybe the phone will finally flash the SPL from the SD
- let us know if it worked
It still doesn't work
I used 128m microSD and formated to FAT32, only copy 0.78RUU_Signed.nbh to SD card, renamed to kovsimg.nbh. After I used VOL- and power bottom. It only showed me loading.....
I also tried 0.72, looks same. DID I do some thing wrong?
Thank you very for any response!

Try the way described above by me (leave the card with the image and use X1_HardSPL.exe to try to change SPL and so force phone to bootloader mode)
