SPL Doesnt work HELP - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have tried everything to get it to work when i hold down volume and power the screen with coloured bars says SPL 78.000 which I know is what SEUS Puts on and yes with official ROMS the RUU and SEUS works.
Whe I try to use olinex from SPL thread it goes through the phone reboot into coloured screen mode and says 52.olinex and then changes to the white flash screen with 0% after about a minute the RUU errors with [262] communitcation error and thats all I get re-boot and nothings changed.
I hae tried allsorts and been through xda found tips but none seem to work.
Anyone any ideas ???????
SOLVED
Fixed:
I copied the hardspl.nbh file to sd card and renamed it from RUU_Signed.nbh to Kovsimg.nbh
I copied Xperia-SSPL-Manual.exe to the sd card.
I ran Xperia-SSPL-Manual.exe on my xperia
It picked up the Bootloader image and installed it
After reboot it was stuck in loop trying to update the rom
I connected my X1 via USB to pc
I shut down active sync on pc an ran MTTY
Executed commands
set 16 0
set 14 0
boot
Placed a custom rom image on the sd card named: Kovsimg.nbh
Rebooted to loader

another solution for the error262 is that the usb3 is not complitable with spl and flashing try a port from the back of the pc and non usb 3...this worked for me

Just use the sd card method.
Re-name the radio/rom file RAPHIMG.nbh
Copy to a clean, FAT32 formatted sd card (the main folder, i.e. root folder).
Remove sim card.
Add new sd card.
Enter bootloader (hold volume down, soft re-set).
Hit power button when prompted.
Wait ~3 min til it's done, and the screen tells you that ROM update was a success, then soft re-set.
Do a hard reset when you're at the screen alignment step (if this was a rom update; if it's a radio update, you're good to go after the soft reset); remember to remove card with the rom image (and get the image off of there).
Now you're done; it's a lot easier than flashing with a pc connection. This all assumes you have hard spl installed and a security unlock if you're flashing a non-raph radio.
Hi,
Do I need to connect device to power supply or upgrade just with current battery charge?
Thanks a lot for Your info.
I've flashed with my fuze plugged into the wall outlet, but you should always have at least 50% battery charge.

Rom update guide, what is missing?

Hi everyone,
I have had this new xperia and love it, I have decided I would like to update my rom but want to make sure I have not missed anything.
If it's not to much to ask can someone let me know if this guide is missing any steps.
my phone and me are both virgins.
Thanks
------------------------------------
Preperation:
1. First lets download all that you will need in order to flash your rom.
Hard_SPL_X1_V1-
And of course download any custom rom made for the X1 of your choice...that is all you will need!
2. Extract the HardSPL somewhere on your pc, you might aswell extract the rom file somewhere on your pc too.
3. Connect your phone via activesync to your pc
4. When you are connected, (I let it finish synchronising one last time, to ensure all of the data on my pc was up to date with the current data on my phone), you then go to where you extracted "X1_HardSPL.exe" and you run it...
5. Follow the instructions at some point it should say something like "Image Version: 1.02.111.7" to "1.00.X1"
When asked, press "Yes" on the X1
6. - Now a Tri-color screen should show up, showing some version Information
After that, a progressbar screen will be shown and the phone will reboot when finished
Click "Finish" on the PC
(To check if you succeeded, turn the device off (long power button press). Then hold the volume down button and turn the device on again, still holding the volume down button until the Tri-color screen shows up. It should read something like:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.OliNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707)
Remove and reinsert the battery to exit bootloader mode
You completed the first step and are now able to flash any ROM you want to your X1! (Well, at least any ROM made for the X1 of course ;-))
Steps 2-6 need only to be done once...from here on forward should you wish to flash another rom you do not need to install HardSPL again as it is already on your phone.
Flashing your Rom (The fun begins):
7. Rename the rom file you downloaded from whatever.nbh (usually it is ruu_signed.nbh) to Kovsimg.nbh (you can rename it on your pc or on your phone once you have transferred it over)
8. Start up the phone normally, if you have not already done so...then connect it to your pc...(at this point you can connect it without activesync, just as a memory card reader so that you can copy over your rom faster)
Copy your rom into the root of the memory card.
(You can also use any external memory card reader/writer connected to the pc and copy over the file)
Remeber to make sure all files have been deleted off your memory card.
9. Insert the memory card into the phone (You never know somebody might forget to do it :-S )
10. Turn off the phone completely, not standby mode (USB cable must not be attached)
11. Remove and reinsert the battery (This step can be skipped if you made sure you turned off the phone in step 10, this is just in case somebody put the phone in standby instead)
12. Hold down the volume down button and press the power button while still holding both of these buttons until the tri-color screen pops up.
13. Follow the onscreen instructions (It should install the rom +-5mins)
14. When you see the screen say "Succesfully updated", you can then go ahead and remove the battery and reinsert it.
Getting ready to see results (one last step):
Do not skip this step!!! This may result in errors!!!
15. Do a hard reset : 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...go ahead..
16. You are done!
You have now flashed your rom....after it restarts please note the first time it starts up again will take longer than normal, you will be presented with all the normal setup's as you first did when you got your phone...
Like stylus setup and time and date etc...
With this particular rom that I flashed approximately 3/4mins after getting to the today screen a notification came up asking me to choose my operator and it then installed all the necessary connection settings for me....
You may also be asked to restart the device once more after the initial startup of the new rom, this is because upon first start up the rom may install some additional programs / cabs / tweaks which the "cooker" has cooked into the rom....
I cant think of anything more at this point, I tried to be as detailed as possible with this guide and use as much lame-man's terms as possible to make it clear and understandable....
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to post under this thread and I will answer to the best of my knowledge...
Once again thanks to XDA-Developers from whom I have learnt all of the above....
no it looks good you didn't miss anything

Thanks,
I have tomorrow off and will be flashing my rom tomorrow.
Now all I need to do is find the rom I want to use.
Is there a guide on all the different roms and what each one does and how it's different?
I know I want winmo 6.5 and htc touch.

Check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477801
The only way to know which ROM is best for you is to try each of them out and see how it "fits" your personality.
Enjoy flashing!
I have not had time to do the rom flash, and might find a few hours tomorrow.
I have one last question, has any one done flashed a virgin phone in windows 7?

After a rom update has anyone noticed that the screen flickers on the bottom third?

Bad Flash: Need Advice

I had two HERAIMG.nbh (forgot one was there) files on my 512MB microSD card yesterday and during the flash, the second image automatically began to flash after the first image was successfully flashed. I quickly pulled out my microSD card and I guess that caused a corrupted image where my phone will show only the Splash screen at startup; it turns off soon afterwards by itself. Because my camera button broke about a month ago, my only options to flash to a new ROM is either through Flash Center or run the Bootloader.exe and have it read the .nbh file. Now since I can't even boot up my device to setup WM 6.1, activesync can't startup. So the flash center option is out. At the same time, since my phone will not boot up properly, I can't run file explorer to run the Bootloader.exe so that it can read my image. I also tried doing a hard reset to format the image (which worked once in this situation) but it's not working this time. Does anybody have any advice/tips so I can reflash the image so it isn't corrupted anymore? Thanks in advance.

Help!! Need to go back to original spl

I need some major help guys.... i need to send my g1 to tmobile but my only problem is i cannot seem to unroot. each time i get to the Grey and Blue screen it does not load, it says (loading no image)... then it goes back to the RAINBOW screen. im i doing something wrong? I have followed these steps. i would greatly appreciate your help.
I. Downgrade the SPL (If you never loaded a new SPL or are coming from a completely stock Donut G1, SKIP THIS SECTION).
1. Download the Original SPL:
Original SPL
2. Rename the Original SPL to Update.zip and place it (now named update.zip) on the SD card (not in any folder).
3. Turn off the phone
4. Turn on the phone holding Home and End key till the recovery screen pops up.
5. Hit Alt W to wipe the phone, then hit Alt S to load the update.zip
6. After the update is complete, press Home and Back to reboot.
7. Once the phone reboots to the G1 Logo, turn it off by taking out the battery. Then put the battery back in. *READ THE REPORTED ISSUES FOR A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS STEP!
II. Load the DreaIMG.nbh File
1. Download the Original DreaIMG.nbh file:
Original DREAIMG.nbh
2. If the file downloaded above downloads as a .Zip file, please unzip it first then put the DreamIMG.nbh file that is inside on the SD card, NOT in any folder. (If you did Section I the phone is off still, take out the memory card, put it in the MicroSD adapter and plug it into your computer to transfer the file over, since your G1 won’t turn on right now if you did Section I above. Otherwise if you did not need to do Section I above, then you can just put it on the SD card normally using the usb cable and the phone).
3. Turn the phone off if it is on.
4. Turn on the phone by holding the Camera button and the End key until the bootloader screen turns on.
5. Hit the End key to start the update. DO NOT INTERUPT THIS PROCESS.
6. Once it is done, hit the trackball to restart the phone. You now are on the stock firmware RC29.
First step is posting in correction section(Q&A). Second step is using the search.
Read the damn rules for posting new threads or go away
i did!! n i still didnt get help from the thread that was posted by {tubaking]
Did you place the file DREAIMG.nbh on the root of your sdcard??
yes i did... i even tried with rc30 but it didnt work.
i keep getting stuck on the last step. i have cynogenmod.
You are pressing camera+power to get this done??
yes i am...
i followed all the steps correctly..for some reason it keeps messing up at the end when it gets to the grey and blueish screen.
And is your card formatted to Fat32. And did you check the MD5sum on the file to make sure it's the complete file.
Wow mikey on here helpin.
yes it is formatted
i don't know what that is..MD5sum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum
how do i check if the MD5 is a complete file>?
To see if a given file is valid, pass the output of a previous md5sum run with the switch -c. Thus, the following two steps occur:
1. Compute the MD5 sum and store it in a file using md5sum file > file.md5
2. Check for validity with md5sum -c file.md5
If file is not present, omitting the file parameter or passing a - reads from standard input
i don't understand smh
Just redownload the RC29 file again and retry it then.
would you happen to have a RC29 file for download? i've tired about 4 different files

What happend when I suddenly cant flash?

For about 6 month ago I flashed my HTC touch pro and everything works.
I have RapaelsHardSPL Unsigned 190_1_3.
When I tried to flash thruu ActiveSync I always get Invalid Model ID
so I tried this guide "[UPG][TRBL]How-to fix: Update/Flash doesnt work, stops at 0% or 5% (invalid model ID) "
But with no luck.
Then I tried to copy the NBH file to my memorycard and reset with volume down and reset button, the message then is no image file is found then it stopped and show a text that say "serial"
I also tried to copy the file to the internal memory of the phone but same thing happend.
Is the filename of the NBH file important?
I have tried alot of names I found in different guide but nothing have worked.
I have tried and tried for some days now and is out of ideas.
Can someone tell me what I could tried next...
Hi, to flash from your SD card the image should be called raphimg.nbh (for touch pro) and it should be located in the root of your SD card. Try it you'll be good
Now it works better but not all the way.
Volume down + reset then then it say "loading"
After that "checking"
The colourful rows are back and it say serial.
Is there something wrong with my IMG file?
Definitely something wrong. Get your carrier rom, or htc rom if the device is unbranded or a cooked one. Connect the phone to an usb port, press volume down+reset, start installation on pc.
Make sure your image is named "raphimg.nbh" and it is located in the root directory, while flashing you must not have the phone connected with usb cable
It also show this numbers: 00058002
I use this rom and get it working
[ROM][FR/WWE]TOUCH PRO[SENSE 2.5][03/2010] ۞ TOSHIRO_SERIE® ۞[Wm 6.5.2/Wm 6.5.5]
BUT I think it was read/write properties, I use linux and when I transfer the file to my memorycard it probably was writeprotected.
Could this be the problem?
And freakzone.... Big thanks for the help.
I have used ubuntu to transfer files, never had any problem.
Try flashing from pc.
You're welcome
edit: vol down+reset and then connect usb and start the customruu
