I dont know if theres other way to enter bootloader mode in x1...
try to search...
or maybe you can try hardspl again.

try two thinks please:
ONE:
turn of your pda by holding long time power on/off until a message comes and ask you "turning of?" (i write the short version).
than try bootlader-modus by 1. press volume down and hold 2. press power on/off and hold.
dont shocking by vibration - hold both buttons until bootloader comes.
TWO:
your pda is quite normal?
than you dont need make finger-gym. open X1_HardSPL.exe and wait two or three seconds. it extracts some files. one of this is "EnterBootloader.exe"
copy this with usb/activesync or flashcard to root of your pda. go with fileexplorer (pda) to root and klicki-micki and you straight fly to bootloader-mode.

Love it!
But yes, make sure you done hardspl first. then power off phone then hold volume down and power do not let go of buttons until multicolour screen appears.
Tin.

TBH you don't need to hardspl to get to the tri-color bootscreen, just to flash with custom roms.
And if nothing works, remove and reinsert the battery then hold power+volume-down key until it vibrates and let them go when the screen shows up.

try taking the battery out first, then putting the battery back in. make sure that the phone is NOT connected via usb cable, or else it will automatically turn back on.
then use the power and lower volume key to enter bootloader mode.

I can not make hard reset :(

Help me please guys I can not make a hard reset or flash a new ROM with the sd card method. (right volume button and power button). also hard reset doesn't work. (press both silver button and power button).
before always its OK but now i only flash with usb method.
thanks a lot

Can you still hard reset using |START|SETTINGS|SYSTEM|CLEAR STORAGE|?
What rom and SPL are you using?
You might need to Hard-SPL again.

Are your xperia volume keys working properly because it can be hardware issue....

To hard reset:
When you're holding the silver key buttons press the power button NO MORE THAN A SECOND. Just press it very lightly and it should hard reset your device. Again do not hold the power button when you're holding the silver buttons.

Are you using volume down?
Turn the phone off, hold volume down (and keep holding) then turn the phone on. Make sure it isn't connected to your PC when doing this.
Edit: Does it enter the bootloader correctly when you are using the Rom Update Utility?

Flash back to an earlier rom, HardSPL again and see if you can enter the bootloader and hard reset using the key combinations.

At Whirlpool (Australian forum) we recommend using this Generic UK R1A Rom to recover from bad flashes.
Check the recovering from a bad flash section of this page.
If things go wrong we recommend getting your phone completely back to stock and trying everything again from scratch. Then step through to see what is causing the error.

Buzz buddy how i can know what is the version of the bootloader if i can not enter to him??
I try many times. press and hold Right volume key and press de power key. and release power after the vibration. I am tired of the SE logo jaja.
early i try again to load the X1_HardSPL.exe with the pc and i see the three colors screen in the xperia. the screen show a 0.52 thats its OK??

the thing is:
if you want to go into the bootloader you need to press and hold the power button and the volume button down untill you get into the 3coloured screen.

exactly thats is all i want but a can't
all The keys (Volumen, Power, silver keys) Works Fine in Windows Mobile. but i can not make hard reset with the silver keys and button power. or worse i can not enter to the bootloader mode with volume key and power key.
before all its ok but now its like the keys dont work at the start.

to do a hard reset I just keep holding both softkeys and then I press the reset button with the stylus.
try it this way.

Flash another rom using the Rom Update Utility and see if you can get the bootloader to load using the volume down and power buttons. It must be a software problem preventing you from using this key combination.
I can't seem to find how to start the bootloader without the key combination.
It might be worth sending OliNex a PM and asking for advice.

Help bad flash

Hi all,
so i did a bad flash and my diamond doesnt boot into windows, not a problem with the Unlocker Right? turn off and turn on holding power+down volume key+ center key and back key, it boots into bootloader but it just sits there saying LOADING... and this is because the internal memory wasnt being recognize by windows before the bad flash.
do i have any other alternative??

Hi, fear not my friend. Just boot into bootloader mode by pressing power key and volume down at the same time (If you press the center button also you will trigger a hard reset.) Then plug your phone on your PC. On the bottom of the phone screen you should see that the word serial changes for USB. Then just lauch any rom upgrade(either a stock rom or a custom one). The rom upgrade utility will the upgrade your phone like it normaly does when it's not bricked. It will just be a little longer.

you have hold the power volume down and press soft reset to enter boot loader

Hi
I have the same problem, I flashed my diamond with a bad flash, now it turns over, I try a hard reset, it works not so.

Here is the link where I downloaded the flash: ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Diamond/Users/Tobeychris/Tutorial/Diamond Unlocker.rar

can you grab an adb lolcat? the boot loop could honestly be due to any number of reasons .. also try to reboot with CALL+MENU+END and then while it starts hold down HOME button ... if you get to recovery then you're not bricked

I can't connect to adb shell (i start my phone and try to list device with adb: i see nothing)
And start with CALL+MENU+END doesn't work (continu to reboot)
Thanks for your answer.
If you have other solution ...

I try to start my phone with trackball hold down and power button and it get me a black screen and the phone led is BLUE.
Can it help me?

I have the same problem. The phone is totally original. It started yesterday when, for an unknown reason, the com.android.phone not responding started to popup.
Now the phone seems to be in a eternal loop on the HTC boot screen with the annoying chime.
I can get into the fastboot mode, but the phone is not in debugging mode...
At least the phone is still under warranty.

If you can get into fastboot or recovery you dont need debugging on

I fixed the problem by doing a hard reset. I lost everything, but at least the phone is working as new.

Backup. Backup. Backup.
And yes, 3 identical copies in 3 places isn't unheard of.

Concerning my contact, I though they where sync automatically to my google contacts, but it wasn't the case.
What are the best backup apps for android?

MyBackUp Pro, BackUp for root users (this ones free)
NANDROID!

Just in case anyone else has this problem... After u use the "Task 29" your fone will restart on its own, yet it will not go past the first screen. U must take the back off, hold the volume down key and stick the stylus into the "reset" key on the right side of the device. It will go directly to the bootloader screen. From there it will notice the USB connection and you can then install your new ROM.
