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.

Do you get it to boot into the bootloader?
(* Press and hold the camera key, then press the soft reset button. *)
If so, you can try to use it and apply the original firmware.

It seems I get into bootloader 4 bars (red, green, blue and white)
Red: IPL 1.01.0001
SPL 1.01.0001
If I attach a USB kabel it says USB in the white bar
But where can I find de original firmware an how can I get it on the system.
i saw your other two threads about flashing from sd.
heres the thing. you need to use the RUU for your device. It depends on who you purchased your device from. If you have an HTC branded device, you will need the appropriate RUU etc etc...
heres the link. make sure you choose the right one.

Please,help me as soon as possible -about get out a boot mode.
Situation-i was trying to flash one of Radios from that tread (as always),my Xperia is Hard-Spl,i was renamed downloaded file to Kovsimg.nbh, copy that to the root of MicroSD card,then turn Xperia in bootload mode (4 color bars) (you know-vol. button and on simultan),the file was recognized,i got the message (as always) "press power button to flash ROM or action button to cancel",i pressed power button, flashing begann and was already on 100%, but then was coming an Error message-"Flash not complete and some about RSA too".I take akku out and put in again,and now-don't matte how i turn Xperia ON,it always go to Bootload mode and want to flash that file (and it will not flashed).How i can get out now of that bootload mode???????I read "press Action button to cancel flashing",but what is that Action Button???And if i even take out MicroSD,Xperia start always in bootload and want to flash something!!!!I sit down in Hotel now,i don't have a MicroSD cardreader to copy on MicroSD another file,and i can't use my telephone,because it start always in that 4 color bootload mode and want to flash something!!!
Ple-e-e-a-a-se Help!!!! I don't want to hard reset my telephone now,i just want to start Xperia in normal mode.
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???

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!!!!

I tried hard & soft reset, taking out the battery, and powering it on again , but it still goes back to this screen. please help me... thanks in advance
Hi all,
what can i do?
You sure that what you're trying to perform is a hard reset, not a mere soft-reset?
If yes, this is really weird. Try flashing your ROM again.

If you are trying to perform a hard reset and it doesn't work and phone won't reboot, then only other option you have left is to put phone in bootloader and flash stock/cooked rom.
Does phone reboot ok? Are you actually performing a hard reset i.e. turn phone off. Hold down vol up & vol down and then phone on while still holding down vol buttons. You will then be presented with a white screen with text asking you to press vol up once again to restore factory settings.

If it doesn't help try to flash a cooked or stock rom but I recommend you to first try the hard reset.

Bootloader is the tri-coloured screen you are getting
If you can get phone in bootloader then you can still flash new rom.
First of all try a hard reset by doing the following:
1. Turn phone off
2. Hold down vol up & vol down
3. Continue to do No.2 and turn phone on
4. You will then be presented with a white screen with text asking you to press vol up once again to restore factory settings.
Once complete if phone still doesn't reboot you will need to flash new rom by doing the following:
1. Turn phone off
2. Hold vol down button only
3. Continue to do No.2 and turn phone on
4. You will be presented with bootloader screen (tri-colour screen)
5. Connect phone to pc and bottom of screen text should change from 'serial' to 'USB'. If this doesn't read cRaCKwHoRe's guide (see link below) as you may need to update pc drivers.
6. Now flash original stock rom from which you have downloaded from wiki. You can find stock roms here. To flash rom you will need to run ruu file from pc (this is rom you have downloaded)
Make sure you only flash original stock rom which was already on your phone. If you want to flash other roms you will need to follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide
I'd recommend reading the wiki so you understand more about the process and you phone
Good luck and keep us informed
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

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.

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.
I couldnt find a good title for this thread coz i donno how to explain it!
See the bellow video, first i cannot get to the bootloader screen. Then when the phone is on, after i press the power button the dial pad screen first, and the calendar screen after that will come up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W1CJV0m3Ac
How could I fix this? i cannot even get back to original situation to get for warranty!
I think it's the source of my problem.
PS. i face this problem after i removed S2U (Slide to unlock) software
Can you get to the restore screen? (hold down the two front silver hard keys + Power)
With the phone completely off, You have to hold down the power + volume down button until the bootloader pops up...keep holding it until you see the colored strips.
Try Using the camera button i.s.o the volume down. Works fine for me on my X1
Try this, Connect your phone to the pc, make sure you are connected to the activesync. Then run the the hard spl tool, It should automatically put the phone into bootloader mode.
Thanks for replies,
yes i can get to the bootloader screen using hard spl manual tool, but it will stop on "Loading..." screen and it's not flashing!!!

When it says "Loading..." it means it cannot find KOVSimg.nbh on your SDcard or there is nog USB connecting through which you're trying to update.

Yes, my volume key is working fine in windows with no problem!
Actually i've already did a clear storage but.... nothing....
Well I had the same problem when trying to flash from a Vista PC and USD cable. (for the hard SPL, glashing with a SD card worked fine, but you should disconnec the USB cable to be sure that it takes the SD card)
I used my wifes small netbook with XP and there it worked instantly. If you use a Vista machine, try it with an other XP machine.

Try other ROM, if it was stock Rom so try other cooed ROM, or vice versa
ok try this. Restore your phone to stock spl, Let the hard spl tool put your phone into bootloader mode. Once its in this mode, Try to run Sony ericsson update tool to update it to the R3A firmware.
Hardspl is completley not working!!!
Is there a dead mode method? i think that would help me?
