NEED HELP!!! After ROM update screen is black! - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
After my first update ever my phone crashes!
First I installed X1_hardspl succesfully.
Then I installed Christian_NL_5419_Full.
Then the phone reboots succesfully. It installed the customized items automatically. Then it reboots again. You see the Xperia logo and then the screen turns into black!
How can I fix it? Please help me!

Reflash your ROM. Get to tricoloured screen by holding the camera button down and press power button. Hold both buttons down until you see tricoloured screen. Connect usb and flash if using RUU.

maybe hard reset is sufficient, though w/o sd card or if there's an option w/o auto instll of customziation
did you check christian's thread up front for reports of similar experiences? rom specific questions are best asked in the specific rom thread, there's where all feedback accumulates- good and bad...

With the phone off, try to do a hardreset: Hold down the two silver buttons directly under the screen, while holding them down push the power button, you should then be presented with a screen that asks you to press "R" to reset your device....so go ahead and flip open the keyboard and press "R", when it completes it will ask you to press "Spacebar" to restart the device.

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!!!

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.

Need Experts To Solve This One....

Hi guys,
Today my D2 decided not to work at all when switching "ON" the screen stays at the windows mobile welcome screen and refuses to continue "Freeze".
I tried soft and hard rests without success...
Anybody can help please?!!!....
Doesn't sound good.
The next thing I would try is to take the battery out for about 30 minutes, then try again with battery replaced. I had a weird issue with an old PDA where on ocassion it would refuse to turn on, and the only fix was to leave out the battery for at least 15 minutes.
Good luck
Hi, though your question has nothing to do with any kind of development, , maybe you should be posting in general section, this is a wild guess, the answer to your question is easy, enter bootloader and flash the oficial rom suited for your device.
If this doesn´t work send it to your distributor.
Cheers.
ark666,
Could you please show me how to enter the bootloader and flash the oficial rom suited for my device?

Should i know???
By pressing volume down + the red soft reset button will take you to the bootloader.
The Topaz is yours, what language is it??
Maybe this post will help you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507232
I went to the bootloader by pressing volume down + ON/OFF button. However, at the bottom of the screen it says (Serial)...
My Topaz language or original ROM is (RUU_Topaz_HTC_WWE_1.39.405.2_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.20t.25.10_3.43.25.19_Ship).
volume down + the red soft reset button will take you to the bootloader.
Download the rom and flash it in bootloader, (tricolour screen).
Sorry but i can´t make it easier.
ark666,
I already went to the bootloader (tricolour screen) and I have a copy of the rom (at my desktop). The point here (correct me if I'm wrong) to flash it in the bootloader by doing these:
1- Go to bootloader....
2- Connect D2 to my PC through USB cable...
3- Then run the downloaded ROM...
Sorry but I'm still new to PPC....
Flashed the origial ROM and problem solved.

help please

was going to flash leo 8.2, was going to run task 29 first, but in error instead of running enter boot loader i run rom update utility and now when i switch on it just gets on to the black cell seris screen and will not move any ideas how i can get it unstuck
thanks
been trying every thing, as its stuck on the black cell screen the phone will not switch off, or show up on the pc to reflash
hope its not brick

press the volume down button and soft reset at the same time you will see a tri colored screen, you can plug in your phone and flash from there.
thread closed, not rom development

Unusual Soft Brick

Hey there,
I followed the guide on XDA to root my Xperia SP with the Towelroot app. The guide is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783885
I then rebooted my phone into recovery, and flashed the latest build.
I rebooted the phone and downloaded the latest Cynagonenmod 12.1 nightly build for the Xperia SP. Once downloaded I wiped my phone and installed the ROM using the TWRP recovery that I'd installed before. At that point I powered off the phone whilst I downloaded the Gapps package on my PC.
When I returned to my phone to try and turn it on nothing happens. It won't turn on or even load the splash screen when I press the power button.
When I hold the power button , the phone vibrates and nothing more! The reset button on the back of the phone does nothing either unless the phone is plugged into a PC. Even then, the phone vibrates 3 times but still won't turn on properly.
I have gone through the Flashroot tutorials over the last 3 hours trying to solve this problem but I've had no success.
I have found that if I hold the volume key down and connect the phone to the PC then the green light appears on the bottom bar of the phone for a period of about 40 seconds before turning off again. It then turns back on and repeats the process.
I am unsure what to do next. Sorry for the long post.
Any help is much appreciated!!
Flashtool progresss
Sorry for the bump but if this helps anyone that could potentially help me. Here is what happens when I try to use Flashtools to flash a stock ROM onto the Xperia SP.
EDIT: Don't worry I solved the problem. I instead used the PC Companion tool to recover my phone and it worked a charm!
I realised the mistake I made. I tried to install Cyanogen Mod 12.1 without an unlocked bootloader which is what likely caused the brick.
