URGEN!! HELP!! bad flash, what can i do?

my situation, i downloaded a rom and tried to flash using SD method.
i think it may have been a corrupt rom because everytime i turn it on it asks me to press power button to flash rom.
is there a way i can access the sd card from the phone in this state?
or another way i can flash it from my computer?
i dont have a seprate micro sd reader.
all i have is my compter, the xperia and the usb cable =S
someone help??
:*(

How do you turn on your phone? And what rom did you use. More information please. And did you hardspl?

i turn on my phone with the power button on the top.
i used kid dc's extravagent rom 4.1.
hope this helps?
my dilemma is now accessing the sd card

and yes i have hard spl on there
i've flashed plenty of times before, this time i think it was just a bad rom.

Hello!

This should be help.

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.

after hard spl finishes installing the rom i'ld take out battery to turn it off and when i turn it on again it just asks to flash again.
and i've tried a hard reset.

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

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!

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...

But my silver keys are working in the windows normally

i get to the bootloader screen by pressing the camera- and the powerbutton. maybe that will work for you too?!

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.

why is it like this?

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.

i don no but did u check if ur volume key is working...also do a hardrest....stteing>system>clear storage

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?

very urgent, am desperate

is there a way to enter boot loader and gets the 3 color screen without using the volume key, by using the keyboard instead???

Having no ROM installed (i.e. via Task29) does not mean the vol key method won't work. It should work - remove battery, replace battery, hold power and vol key together for a few seconds. The only reason it wouldn't is if there was something physically wrong with the key.

all you have to do is hold the vol DOWN and power until screen comes up

What do you get when you just turn on your phone? You can always turn on your phone, if you have a ROM flashed it will boot the ROM. If not or not properly flashed then it will take you to the bootloader....

lol.. your barking at the wrong tree man.. read & understand

don't know if this is related but i thought i'd post it still.
i had an issue with task29 once i tried it.
usually, i flash roms using activesync since i'm kinda lazy putting back and fort the x1 cover, battery and all that.
after flashing task29, my x1 went dead. what i did, i removed the sd card,
plugged it to my pc and put the kovsimg file of the rom i like best,
plugged back in the sd card with the kovsimg file and re-flash via sd card method (using soft keys & volume button).
viola! it worked! but then again, i guess that's the way it's suppose to be done anyways.

Ever did a bad flash???? Try it....flash from your pc and pull the USB cable. If you reset your phone where does it take you? Certainly not to boot the ROM, because the flash went wrong.
Well.....
As the OP doesn't tell us specific details about why or how his X1 has no ROM, I'm trying to get some more info on his problem.
So keep your rude words in your mouth before you speak...!
Since when does trying to help someone wastes your time???! Dude you really need to utter your frustrations somewhere else.

thanks all for your help.

Hello! I had this problem a minute ago. Try this:
1 -Turn on the phone. The screen will freeze in Sony Ericsson logo.
2 - After this, hold the two silver front buttons and press the softreset button behind the battery cover (to do a Hard Reset).
3 - Follow the instructions to perform the Hard Reset.
4 - When finished, remove the battery. Wait for 3 seconds and put the battery back.
5 - Now try to hold Vol Down key and turn the phone on.
It worked for me. But OMG, this thing scared me...
