Many many thanks in advance,
Valery
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...

Vol Down+Power Buttons are not working when trying to flash!!!

Hi,
I've searched alot for this kinda problem but it seems I AM the only one who has this problem.
I had succesfully installed R2AA0010 UK ROM 4 months ago using Micro SD Method, but now when i'm trying to upgrade it to R3A version the Volume Down+Power Button is not working and I can make it to tri color screen. (Just nothing happens)
I've tried SSPL Manual as well but it stops on screen "Loading..." and nothing is happening!
Please help!!!

how to hard reset then?
EDIT: I've found how to hard reset but when i'm pressing the silver buttons they're also doing nothing. (The WM will come up normally)
I think i'm gonna lose it

You can just load the bootloader from the windows directory...
I think it is called botloader.exe
there is only 1 o... try to open that .exe bootloader should show up and you are ready to flash.

Use clear storage to hard reset....and if you are doing sd card method maybe you forgot to rename your file into kovsimg.nbh or whatever it's suppose to be

Thanks for reply!
Yes, I can go to tricolor screen through windows but as i said it will stop at "Loading..." screen. I've read the instructions and I renamed it to kovsimg.nbh as well.
I cannot hard reset using the silver buttons but I did it with clear storage icon! but nothing changed!!!!
I think my topic is correct, I didn't mean that my vol down and power buttons are corrupted or damaged, I mean It's not working when i'm trying to flash!
Any Idea?

Yes, that's what I exactly did! But the normal windows will come up!

HR through settings
another way to hard reset it to go
start > settings > system tab > clear storage
then press 1234 and press yes

maybe your spl is a bit damaged cause you can't hard reset and you can't flash sspl
try flashing hspl again

to hard reset
switch off
press both silver buttons
just press power button briefly, dont hold power button.
keep pressing both silver buttons till reset screen
hope this helps.

Holy crap you guys I do not know why I triple posted...

Next time you can call this screen the bootloader screen... don't call it volume down and power button because it is very misleading...

U need to copy Rom which U want to upgrade to SD card. If u want cooked room so flash Hard-SPL, and then it will automatically install rom U want. or if stock Rom so flash Hard-SPL back to stocks.

Try hard resetting it again and see if you can get it back. You may have to try a few times.

I don't think you're doing it correctly.
That is your boot screen, so your device is trying to boot.
Try just hitting the soft reset button then IMMEDIATELY, before it starts to boot, hold down both volume buttons

Tryd that to,

T5358 isnt a diamond 2 phone... you bought a fake phone like diamond 2 ... give it back ...

same problem
same problem here. had the phone a couple of weeks.
when i hold down both volume buttons and power up, it says that file does not exist.
I have figured out that it is looking for an image file on the micro sd card.
I think you need to format a sd card load it with the .img file of the operating system and then try a hard reset.
But that's just a guess... where do we get the image file?

The image file would be the .nbh file of the ROM renamed to TOPAIMG.nbh.
Then it would flash a new ROM to your device, but you have to have HSPL installed first or you'll brick your phone.

Guys, you can't wronger.
The WM 6.1-6.5 has the option of Hard Reset from inside the running system. It's located in Settings/system/clean boot. Once you set the keys 1234, it reboots and hard reset (re-installs everything and revert back to factory settings, so you'll have to calibrate the screen, and so on).
BUT BE AWARE: The phone needs certain files stored in the original SD card. If you deleted them, you are f**ed. The folder ExtROM is where the files needed to restore the OS are.
I could upload the folder to somewhere, so you store back on the SD, and try. The fact it keeps asking for files is simply because they are not available.

ROM Update issue

I tried to do a TASK29 and somehow in the folder there was no task29.exe, so i used the ROMUpdate utility ..and asked me if i wanted to upgrade to somewhat ROM 2.0.0 (?something?)..(i thought that was part of task29 job...) and now my device is blocked in HTC white splash screen...
hard reset still same issue does...
is there any ROM Update utility that can be used without starting the windows from the phone?
or..what can i do to connect my phone to the PC?
i managed to do 4-5 ROM Updates without problems during time, but somehow..this TASK29 job did not work.
is it possible that i deleted the Operating system from the phone?

If am not mistaken, Task 29 did exactly what it should do which is wipe your device clean. Now what you have to do is enter bootloader by powering on your phone while holding the volume down button. If your phone is not off, do a soft reset by pressing the reset button on the side while holding down the volume down button. You should come to a tricolor screen and it will say "SERIAL" in the bottom. When you see this, plug in your USB and on the screen it should change from "SERIAL" to "USB". At this point open up your rom folder, click on the "Rom Update Utility" and follow the prompts and you should be all set. Hope it helps.

sorry. solution found
"if you fail to press vol down key and your phone get stuck on the white screen, just remove your battery, then try again: press power, and keep vol down pressed immediatly next, until the phone get to RVB bootloader.
When your phone is back to RVB bootloader screen, use the leocustomruu.exe provided with your favorite rom package to flash a new rom, or flash it from memory card using standard procedure."
you can close this thread.

failed to mount preload (no such file or directory)

I was trying to root my phone and get a message that says 'kernel is not seandroid enforcing'. Not knowing how to fix that I decided to do a factory reset and upon reboot get the error 'failed to mount preload (no such file or directory). I have a galaxy note 5 for T Mobile. The phone isn't unlocked. Can anyone help?

Anyone have any ideas?

Turn on the phone, and when you see kernel is not seandroid enforcing press and hold Volume Up, Home, and Power button at the same time until you see a warning. Then press Volume Down to cancel. Now wait for it to reboot, it should boot up normally.

I tried that, but it takes me back to the same screen that I was getting the original error

Update it via Smart Switch.

This worked for me
So I tried all this. This finally worked.
What I did was from power off, help up volume, home button and power button at the same time. Then I pressed wipe cashe and then factory reset and went down to yes. Then I turned the phone off even after it failed and got the continuos error. Then I turned the phone off. Then I pulled the battery and waited approximentally 1 minute. Then I put the battery back in and put the back cover on it. After that, I help the up volume and power button only (NOT THE HOME BUTTON THIS TIME!). Then I waited approximentally 3 minutes for the logo to just flash samsung over and over again and then BAM!!! It worked.
