Is it bricked? (Upgrade ROM error)

(I'm not 100% sure this is the correct forum, but since it is very ROM related it didn't feel all wrong to put it in here...)
Hi guys. After som serious flashing of cooked ROMs I decided for some unknown reason that I should try to restore a stock ROM. Now, being very tired as I was, i completely forgott that its probably a good idea to flash a new Stock ROM on the unit BEFORE flashing it with a signed SPL....so I just flashed the Signed SPL to the device. That in it self seem to have gone ok, because when I start the unit it say "SPL-1.15.0000". Problem is though that it also says "Upgrade ROM error, please try again"
Now, what should I do? Have tried put both signed and unsigned SPLs on the storage card and started up via the volume down/pwr button thingy, but that does not seem to do anything. I have also tried to attach the unit to a USB port when in tricolor mode ("USB" shows up on the screen) and tried the CustomRUU program. It finds the device and starts to "upgrade" (grey screen on the device with 0%) but then it just doesnt seem to get any further...
As the device was working fine with a custom ROM before I started all this, I suspect that the main problem proably is that I now have a Standard SPL with a cooked ROM, and that they collide sort of. I, as well as the Blackstone, is now stuck and I am all out of ideas what to do? Have also tried Hard and Soft resets, but that doesnt seem to change anything.
Help!

try removing the SD Card and put the phone into bootloader mode and re-flash the stock ROM! if this doesn't work ... still with the SD Card removed try flashing to USPL and flash the stock ROM again!
hope this helps

You can try USPL on your HD and flash a custom or stock ROM with it.

Thanks for the feedback!
Just be be sure, "into bootloader mode" is when you start the device holding down volume down and powerkey until you see the tricolor screen? Then that is probably what I have tried to do for a while now without success (total success that is, I do get into the tricolored screen)). Or maybe I am doing something wrong, could you perhaps point to a detailed explaination besides the one in "HardSPL" thread?
USPL I havnt tried, will do that! Is it still so that trying to do USPL on Vista is asking for trouble?
I read somewhere that Stock ROMs should only be flashed from internal storage, not SD cards, is that true? If so, how do I go about accessing that storage now when it doesnt show up in the file explorer on my PC (PC recognizes it as USB device, "HTC Sync" but I get no file access to it).

bootloader mode is when you power off the device and hold the volume button down and press power till you get the tricolor screen...
so here is what you need to do .
1. remove the sd card
2. go into the tricolor mode connect your device to the pc and make sure it says (USB) at the bottom
3. run the stock shipped exe from you pc
if that didn't work then you should try the USPL version.. and there is a guide if you are using vista.. i just tried and worked fine.. here it is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3331078&postcount=153
and the reason i'm asking you to remove the sd card because if you have a rom (blacimg.nbh) it won't let you do anything it will try to flash from the sd card and right now you don't want to do that.
and you shouldn't put any rom into the internal storage of the phone..

What happens if you do that? will it try and flash over the flash? Proper *&@! it up?

i don't think anything would happen... the file will get deleted when you flash as the rest of the files in the internal memory

Thank you everyone! The USPL thing solved it, when I did it from a XP machine! The once bricked Blackstone is not alive an kicking again!
About USPL, I saw the workaround for Vista, but downgrading a few components to make it work just doesn't seem like a safe way to do it. And I cant help but to think that it might have unwanted side affects, ie affecting system stability. But maybe I am wrong?

Going back to shipped ROM without bricking?
Hi,
After reading this thread I am now a bit worried and, as a newbie, would appreciate maybe a "simple" answer to my question.
I''ve been experimenting with various cooked ROMs after following the guide in the WIKI for installing HardSPL and then putting the ROM file (BLACKIMG.nbh) on my SD card and installing it using the power on + volume down button method.
However, I now want to revert back to the original "shipped" ROM, which I have downloaded from the list of shipped ROMs via the WIKI (I downloaded the one which closely matched what was originally on my HD - as I didn't know how to backup the actual ROM on my HD at the time).
So, my question:
How should I put the downloaded original/shipped ROM:
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe
into my HD without bricking it?! Do I just run it on my PC with ActiveSync enabled or do I need to do something to remove the HardSPL or something first?
Sorry if this has been answered previously but I get confused when a thread just makes loads of references to SPLthis and SPLthat etc.!

if you have the HardSPL already installed on your phone then you don't need to do anything more.. just connect your phone to the pc and let it sync (activesync enabled) and flash to any shipped rom you want by simply running the exe file..

Annoying Phone problem

I apologize if this thread has been seen before, I searched and couldn't find anything pertinent. Anyways, my phone has recently started to freeze, causing me to turn it off where it then erases its memory equivalent to a hard reset on an hourly basis. This happens even if I turn it off without it freezing it still acts like I performed a hard reset on it. Also when I text my messages fail to send because I get the error code "failed to encode message" And the majority of my programs are not working as in it will say something like "failed to run xml file" or "failed to run kfreeplay file." I tried flashing different roms to no avail. I think there are some crucial memory blocks on my phone that have been corrupted. I am at a loss as to what to do and any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
-John

what ROMs? WinMo 6.5 roms?
I had the reset issue, until I flashed to stock ROM first, then to 6.5 ROM. Time will tell, as I just did that this morning
I made the mistake of not reading the cook's FAQ at the beginning of his thread about flashing to stock ROM first

Well this all came about because my PDA corner ultimate V.5 was getting slow so I was going to upgrade to make it faster. When I flashed the new ROM it turned bad and so I flashed to some other ROMS which had the same problem. So I eventually went back to my PDA corner ultimate V.5 but I am still having the problems associated with the other Roms as well. I will try flashing the stock Rom see if that helps.

No dice reflashing the stock ROM because I use a mac and so the only way I can flash is through USB and the file isn't able to be flashed by USB only through .exe Any other suggestions?

I 2nd "cmwgimp" in that flashing the stock ROM BEFORE flashing a new ROM is a must. If you read through any of the ROM threads you will find that to be true as well.
The fact that you haven't flashed the stock ROM before trying the new ROM's is most certainly the reason all of the additional ROM's you flashed after PDA Ultimate V5 have had problems.
Download the HTC stock ROM onto a flash drive, find someone with a PC (maybe even a library/college/etc.) and reload it from there. It will take less than 15 minutes and it will certainly eliminate many of your issues. Just remember to hard reset after loading the stock ROM, then hard reset again after loading your "preferred" ROM.
Hope this helps! Take care!

Alternatively, you can download the HTC stock ROM, extract it using any UnRAR program for OS X (a google search will yield plenty of results) and after doing that, rename the extracted file called RUU_Signed.nbh to KAISIMG.nbh. Then, you can move KAISIMG.nbh to your MicroSD card using a card reader, and put that back in your device. Hold the Camera and Power Button at the same time while the device is off to load the bootloader, and if you did everything right, you should be able to follow the instructions from there.

SE Updater failed to install new rom, what is the best thing to do now?

Hello,
I know you guys got some excellent walkthroughs, roms, programs and threads where you've helped a lot of people out but I could really use some personal feedback. I had hoped to fix my phone using one of the excisting threads but unfortunalty I can't get it to work with those.
My problem is one I've seen more of in here, I used the SE updater and it froze at 53%, I did what the program said, reconnected and it froze again at 12%, and again, again, etc. So I disconnected thinking it might be a bad USB port. But then the updater didn't recognise my phone at all. So I used the mtty program suggested in some of the threads and I got past the red/green/blue screen but now it's stuck at the Sony Ericson logo, as if WM6.1 is gone.
This is what the red/green/blue screen currently states:
KOV110
SPL-0.78.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
From what I gather this means I can't flash roms, right? I tried making it a hard-spl but when I use the tool it says it can't connect.
So is there anyway to get a rom on it and bring it back to life?
Thanks inadvance!

Get an original rom from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
copy .nbh file from the package onto your sd card and rename it to : Kovsimg.nbh then bring phone into boot loader via : vol down + power.
It should flash the rom now. i the problem is still present after that you
have to deal with mTTy but first try the flash...
i think you could also bring phone into bootloader without sd card inserted then connect usb cable, display should now print 'USB',and after that start rom update utility.
regards

Thank you for your reply, I will do as you said although I've already tried something similiar to this. I believe the problem was that I couldn't flash roms from my SD since I don't have the hard SLD. But I will try it anyway as soon as I get home.
In the mean time I would love to hear more ideas about how to fix my phone.

You really need have to flash the HardSPL first as, based in your above post, you still have not done that. It will be useless to flash cooked ROM with that. If you can still power on your phone and you have an activesynch in your computer, i suggest you download the HardSPL first and update your phone using your PC. If you are successful doing that, then you can flash all you want.

original roms will still work with original spl... but nevermind =P

My phone can still power on in the sense that it shows the Sony Ericson logo or that I can access the three collor screen. But it won't launch WM6.1. I also have a problem with updating to hard DSL. It does recognise my phone because without it connected the program finds nothing and with the phone connected it wants to start updating. It says ''updating from image version: (emply) to image version: 1.00.X1 Ipress next and it opens a progress bar on both my X1 and the PC. But it never goes beyond 0% and then gives me an connection error. I think it has something to do with not being able to get passed the Sony Ericson logo. I mean the hard-DSL program does recognise my mobile but activeSync is never active because my PC doesn't recognise a WinMobile phone (since it wont go past the Sony Ericson screen)

Really? That might fix my device then. Could you suggest a rom from the long list? Perhaps one that works on all versions? Because I'm dutch but my mobile has always been in english so I'm not sure what rom version I had. Except that it was identified as an R2 Rom by the Sony updater before it killed my X1...

Find the latest stock rom for your country (and perhaps your carrier) and flash it

Alright so I got an R1 original rom (I now realize that the R3's were originals aswell) and it worked! I'm not sure if it was the different rom or the formatting with FAT32 that did but it works again. So I'd like to thank everyone who was kind enough to reply.
The device is incredibly slow now but now I can use the hard-DSL installer, right? DOes anyone have a suggestion for a good rom to use?

DON'T hard-spl if you're going to flash a stock ROM. And especially if you're going to use SEUS.
Try flashing the R3A first. The R1s are way slow, as you've seen.

Rom Problem With my X1

Hi`Guys
for the last few days im having an serious rom problem with my Sony Ericsson X1 sines i was looking for an good 6.5 rom that fits and works smooth with my X1 i found an cooked 6.5 rom belong to HD2 aka Leo2 and i reveiw it and i like it so i charged my phone to the full and unlock my phone using "HARDSPL Tool" after that i upgraded my phone with the new rom ,i like it at the first but after some times i faced alot of hangs and bugs within the rom besides the rom overload the processor that would make the phone runs slow so i had to place back my original rom so i used Sony Ericsson Update service "SEUS" to replace my current rom and when i runed the update it asked me to place back the stock SPL and i did and runed the update again but it said that i have he latest software update so i tryed to go all the way around and use the traditional way to downgrade my phone but here is the problem when ever i start the downgrade prosses it gives me update error number {[260] connection} the update stop and start the recovery prosses ,then i tryed to reunlock the phone but it gave me the same error ,so i tryed to get smart and i stop using the computer for the downgrading and moved to flashing methods farmatted my micro-sd to FAT32 placed the required nbh file named with Kovsimg but when i bootload my phone it stops at the loading part without going throw the checking prosses then done the same with the the SPL but the same it stick at the loading stage ,i start to get hopeless my last option was to use the MTTY Tool but it only formatted the rom without flashing the phone

good info that
I read often that it might be solved with one of the following
1. Remove your SD card, run the HardSPL again, then reinsert the SD card with your kovsimg file and it should work
2. reinstall active sync via .msn
3. change the usp port and the data cable
4. disable firewall and antivir
...
But item 1 is reportedly the main reason for most of the error 260 connection failures.
good luck

Are you currently using win XP? Don't use Win 7 or Vista.

[Q] Flashing TD2 (Topaz) stays at 0% help please!!!

Hi all
I really need some help please!!
I think I have read and searched and tried steps by step all the posts and threads on this, none of them work for me,
Ive flashed my HD2 & TD2 with HSPL, radios and roms many times in the past. I have a stock rom on my TD2, (havent flashed a cooked one yet but did on my HD2 and worked great),
the problem is when I try flash anything, (HSPL,Radio's and Roms)
I connect with WMDC on windows ultimate 64x and go through all the steps, the phone disconnects from WMDC when loading the tri-color screen, and installs the HTC sync drivers fine, and then (my problem) it hangs on 0%. this happens regardless of what I'm flashing after a while brings up the communication errors 208 & 260. this doesnt have any effect on the software HSPL or radio as a soft reset returns back to the homescreen just fine. I am running HSPL 1.8.3. , radio 4.49.25.17 and a shiped stock wm 6.5.
This is what Ive tried so far:
I have used 3 different micro USB cables,
updated my .net fx to 4.1
I have tried different Ruu's such as custom Ruu, Ruu from topaz, Ruu, supplied with Hspl, flashes center and KaiserCustomRUU.exe and a few others.
Ive tried the white screen fix many times. including the SDA unlocker and stuff.
I ve tried manual and automatic.
tried entering the the Tri-color screen manually and via the Ruu.
I tried different computers and different operating systems (W7ultimate and XP 32Bit and 64Bit)
tried active sync WMDC 6.0 and 6.1
Ive removed the SD card and sim and have tried flight mode
Restarted pc's mobile any reinstalled WMDC many times.
Ive tried renaming to the HSPL, radio and Rom to TOPAIMG.nbh , put 1 by 1 on formated fat32 SD card, run from Tri-color menu. all of them just hang on
loading....
Have tried mixing and matching Ruu's with HSPL's, Roms And radios and everything else i can think of, after 18 hours of this I am fed up and decided i need some help
Thanx in advance

can some1 please help on this?

ok
i have now download the official RUU_Topaz_S2_HTC_WWE-AFK_2.53.421.3_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.44etc.25.35_4.49.25.91_Ship.exe Rom
and it worked with no problems.
it updated my HSPL from 1.83 to 2.51 and radio version to 4.49.25.91 which was exactly what i was going for.
The problem now is that i still cant change my HSPL, RADIO or flash a custom Rom which is what I need. it hangs on 0% and now gives me a 262 error which states that:
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process. If this happens, you can just soft reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue. At this stage the rom on the device is incomplete and it will not boot back up into Windows. You will need to place it into the bootloader to continue.
which is not true as if a reboot it doesn't continue the update and just returns to the home screen as normal
help?

Now as your device is updated (officially)... so now can you try installing HSPL from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
Thanks.

Does your device is CID/SIM Locked? If yes you may have to try this first:
Diamond 2 CID/Security/SIM Unlocker. And then HSPL.
