X1 huge problem: starts with bootloader, not recognized by pc via usb - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, for several days i've been trying to come up with a solution regarding my X1.
I have read many similar posts implying different solutions with this problem, tried tons of methods to make it work, but unsuccesfull.
Anyway...a few days ago I recieved an X1 from my cousin. No hardware problem, scratched or dropped device.
The main problem is (i've met this problem on different posts, but no one could find an answer): the X1, when booted, it starts on bootloader/ flashscreen (the 4 colour screen) everytime showing info :
KOVS110
SPL-0.78.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
If I connect the X1 to the PC via USB, or if I plug the charger in, it boots normally, and the phone works just fine. ANOTHER PROBLEM is that the PC does not recognize the X1, so I cannot HardSPL it using OliNex....!!!!?!
I know the current SPL version is a SSPL, so I can't flash custom ROM's. It's frustrating because I've spent days trying to get a solution, I'm not a newbie on this one, I've done it many times before.
I used up all the methods I could think of, including flashing an official ROM, radio, and returning to SSPL (I recogn it wasn't the case...but still). In this moment, I flashed it to Official Vodafone UK bla-bla-R3 doesn't matter, because it is not branded.
I really could use your help, guys, because I can't take my charger or usb with me everywhere I go just to start my phone, in case I need to turn it off or something.
I'm stuck, and don't know what else to do, I know the procedure to HardSPL and flashing a custom/ official ROM, but I can't go on because of the fact that by any ways, I can't get the X1 to be recognized by ANY PC. Tried ActiveSync on XP, WMDC on Vista and Win 7...the Mitty procedure is buggy, couldn't get pass the recognizing of the USB (lol !!!!)....also tried using SE Update Utility Service, no result since the X1 is not recognized... It already has SPL 0.78.0000, so I guess SEUS fails from the point of idea.
I've also tried using X1-Manual-SSPL.exe....no chance..!
Tried also to flash from MicroSD a custom ROM (knowing and assuming through the absurd that it will work inspite having SPL 0.78.0000), but it always get's stuck at the grey "Loading..." screen
I would really apreciate some proffesional help, because I'm starting to think I'm not skilled enogh for an X1 ))) I don't have the necessary resources at this point to bring the phone to a GSM Service
So...kindly...PLEASE HELP !!!

How about usb cable? is it still good? have you try to connect the usb with other devices?

the usb works fine, I've tried different usb cables and on different PC's with the X1. As I said, I used up all the ways possible to make it work...

some guys on other thread have the exact same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611223
That's mysterious...

Someone help me please

I tried to update my rom and it was working, until my laptop turned off. (I forgot to plug in the power cord). So I tried it again, and it was stuck in bootloader and so I tried to update it using a Official Cingular Rom. But it gives me an error 260 saying cannot connect. I then tried to use mtty (one of the guides on here) but there's no USB option. I tried this on 3 different computers. Any suggestions please?!
To access mtty with USB option, you need to kill the wcescomm process (or disable USB connection in ActiveSync).
Thanks for the reply but I did kill it and disable usb connections. Stll no USB shows up. Im using a pretty new laptop with XP
Are you sure your Wizard is in bootloader mode when you start mtty?
It's always in bootloader mode when it's on since the Rom Update Failed ( computer turned off).
I really don't know why I have this problem. It was working before, but then it failed, and now it wont connect
Try to flash it on another computer.
I suspect there are problems on the USB ports (And/Or software issues) of your computer...
In my first post I said I tried to flash it on 3 different computers ( I meant laptops.) I dont know why it wont work now though. It worked yesterday
If it helps before it gives me the 260 error it says my USB device is not recognizable.
Please, does anyone have anything?
Im getting realy worried and my warrantys expired
help me stuck on bootloader
what do i do when i downloaded mtty? im am stuck on the bootloader screen due to a 98percent error but right now i cant do anything but stay on the bootloader.
I downgraded so im back to
IPL 1.01
and SPL 2.25.
HELP me get out this screen please? I've tried almost everything i could search on this forum. thanks in advance. and thanks for the hard work on the great roms you guys have!
Is there any other way to revive my device? I've been trying for the past 2 days and it's still not working
TheTop- Flash a official rom to it
I have tried official Roms like the one from the htc website, should I just keep trying even if I get error 260?
dunno if it helps, but make sure that you're battery is charged at least 50%. It seems to be one of the requirements that are needed when you normally flash with the RUU after activesync hookup. I know that when I tried flashing below 50%, the program wouldn't work for me and boot out.
if it's below 50%, look for a friend to charge it and try again.

Strange issue when flashing the device

Hi there, I've been reading your forums since I got my diamond. You have done a great job here.
Until now, I have been able to learn almost everything I now from here. (I'm new to ppc). Nevertheless, I have come up with something I cannot resolve.
I had installed hard spl signed from olinex (1.30). And also upgraded my rom to 1.93 without any problem. But when I tried to do the same with the radio (I want to go from .05 to .08) I get 260 errors over and over.
I use Windows Vista x64 which seems to be problematic but for me worked at first. Anyway I also tried to run it on Xp and go 262 errors instead so no luck with that.
I have tried several things I've already read. Switching USB port, starting the flashing on bootloader, disabling advanced network functionalities from Usb to Pc, ...
The issue seems to be with my PC not dealing with the device when the tricolor screen appears. USB is written in the white band, and Vista seems to recognize an HTC usb device. But when I try to run the CustomRUU when already in the bootloader mode, the app doesn't even recognize the diamond.
Otherwise it recognises it, but when it changes to tricolor screen and the progress bar appears it gets stuck at 0% until the 260 appears.
I think I have run out of ideas right now. Could any of you lend a hand, please?
im pretty sure you need unsigned spl for flashing radios. i dont think radios are signed. i could be wrong, so maybe wait for some more replys before flashing. btw welcome
Thanks. I suppose I'll wait as you said but you are probably right about that. Anyway I suspect that sadly that's not the main problem. I have tried to reflash my rom, just for testing if it worked and ... 260 . Trying to reflash HardSpl or trying to install an unsigned version didn't work either. I've downloaded from different sources to make sure that the file being corrupted was not the problem. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or I was just extremely lucky the first time it worked

activesync not working anymore

Hello guys
last week my Tytn II decide to also get stuck at the bootscreen. It had been running more than a year with one of Dutty's ROMs without any problems at all. Fortunately I knew this forum so I didn't really panic but started reading possible solutions to the problem.
Flashing new OS or SPL via USB didn't work. Nor was I able to connect via mtty to give the boot command. I finally got it back working by flashing KAISDIAG.NBH and after that flashing RUU-356-patch-nostuckinSPL-FORCEUSB as KAISIMG.NBH both via the SD method. After that I have downloaded and flashed the latest standard HTC rom & radio. The device boots and can make calls.
However whenever it is connected to a pc it just freezes. Or at least becomes so slow there's nothing that can be done with it. Activesync connection cannot be established. Note, this does not happen if the device is connected to my car charger or to another USB charger, but only when connected to a PC, XP or vista, doesn't matter.
I've tried flashing different boot loaders, OSes & radios, so far no luck. Currently OS = 3.34.721.2 WWE & Radio i= 1.65.24.36.
Booting & making calls works, connecting via activsync doesn't.
I'd appreciate it if anyone could give me some tips as to what could be the cause of this problem.

What on earth am I doing wrong when flashing?? *SOLVED!*

Hi, first of all let me begin by saying that I have spent a long time reading around through the guides and forums about flashing rom/radio to my Rohdium but still face problems. I have successfully flash my old TyTN II and Orange E650 but am at a loss as to why Im struggling this time round!
I flashed the Hard SPL which went 'fairly' smoothly, got there in the end after having problems on WIndows 7 64bit and then succeeded using Xp 32. However when trying to flash a new rom and/or radio I am greeted with an error, that being Error 284. I have tried like I say on Win7 64, Xp32 and when the error pops up my phone gets stuck on the process bar and forced to pull battery out. I then put it back in and it freezes on bootloader. The RUU software trys to recover but it is a loop of the same thing happening (attempts and then crashes). The only way to get out of this mess was strangely reflashing HardSPL which recovers it and allows me to boot to Windows. I have tried flashing a radio and/or rom whilst in sync within windows, I have tried flashing when manually forcing the phone to enter bootloader, I even paid the £10 to get the unlocker which would patch the special radio but that even returns the same error. I have the sim card out and storage card, battery charged over 50%. I even tried the Mtty program (sorry if mispelled, at work now and can't fully remember name!) when it was stuck at bootloader and using the "boot" command it boots as far as Touch Pro 2 logo but then doesn't progress, then i resorted to reflashing HardSPL which allowed me to boot properly. I just don't know what else to try!
Like I said Im sorry if this is obvious to someone but I have tried alot!
Many thanks in advance if someone could help!
* Update: Just tried flashing a radio on my works computer (XP 32) and it flashed no problem!? Wonder why my operating systems had an issue?
** SOLVED! ** - got home and randomly tried again on Win7 64 without using my USB extension cable and plugged into a different USB port directly and it worked! Faulty cable maybe, bad luck, who knows, it works!
Thanks.
Sound like maybe your RUU/update utility may have gotten corrupted. I would try to re-download the rom you want to flash over to your home pc again and try to re-flash.
If that doesn't work, you can always flash your rom through the storage card.
hmmm yea thats possible, will try when I get back in couple of hours thanks! Just seemed weird how nothing was working, different roms (cooked roms or shipped roms) and even the security/sim unlocker that I purchased......mystery!
USB cable tends to go bad easily! That might be the reasion why!

Hard SPL via MicroSD card

Hello all,
I'm having big problems syncing my phone to pc...is the above possible via MicroSD card...I know flashing a rom is but can I hard SPL it in the same way
Thanks in advance
I don't believe it is possible unfortunately.
What issues are you having? Have you tried updating (or even downgrading them depending on what you currently have) the usb drivers?
The probleme that most of us flashing new cooked ROMs & my device get stucked several times. Likely it is connected via USB, Otherwise I can not do any thing.
Also due to several ROM flash times the USB connection in HD (or other devices) might broken.
This why we need a way to install USPL or HSPL via SD card.
Can some one help?
Regards
What I don't understand is how can a usb port become 'broken' due to flashing several custom build roms?
I too having a problem with the usb port on my blackstone. It can only be charged but not synchronized with pc anymore. I had HTC pick up my phone to have the mainboard replaced. Luckily the phone was still under warranty, so it won't cost me much.
Can someone explain?
i had similar probs ...
went to regedit , local maschine, software, microsoft,
windows ce services and changed to (1) the key : hasusbdevice
after this no problems anymore
it seems that a program installation changes this number from 1 to 0.
i have win 7 32

This is not possible infortunately. However you do not need your device sync'ed with your pc to run HSPL. You only need to put device into bootloader and then connect it to pc. Bottom of bootloader should change from 'serial' to 'usb'. If not, you will need to update usb drivers. All this info can be found on this thread, no need for another
