I changed my X1i to CM7.2
but now i've tried to take it back to windows mobile, and it doesn't work.
with the HSPL program i flashed back the stock spl
i also tried to perform a task 29, but there's where started failing.
i tried the recovery, cause it failed, and then i tried to flash the stock rom with seus, but i turned on the device it spl mode, i connected it to the pc and it recognized it as "microsoft USB sync" and seus just didn't recognized it.
What could i do?

Get any custom ROM, rename it to "kovsimg.nbh" and transfer it into your SD card. Then get into the tri-colored screen (Hard-SPL) and it'll give you an option to flash back.

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!!!!
Now i can some relax...

I have the same problem! i can't even connect it to my pc cuz it doesn't recognize the phone... it's been stuck at the white " KOVSIMG.nbh - OS - Update in progress...." screen for more than 10 mins now. but it's 100%. 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
i'm trying to insall a new rom valkyrie v1.6... i've put it on my memory card root and changed it to kovsimg.nbh got the three colours, now all it says is "Loading..."
any ideas?
X1 rescue! Bricked?
I flashed stock SPL over HSPL before flashing back the stock ROM.
X1 will shows the SPL version following by "Loading..." on the LCD whenever power up! (with memory card inside the phone)
My SPL is 0.72.
The phone should be in recovery mode now without valid ROM/OS in it.
I copy an official UK ROM (R2AA010) into the micro SD card and rename it to kovsimg.nbh,
remove the battery for a few sec, insert the SD card with image file and then hold VOL Down button and power button to boot into Flash mode.
Press Power button to begin flashing process.
(Like normal flashing to other ROM after HSPL mod)
The phone should read the ROM image data and reflash back x1.
If this method not working, try to hold Power+VOL Down and press the RESET at the same time until the phone turn into "Rainbow" screen then try to flash again.
This "Rescue method" works for my set but I still advice that MUST flash stock ROM then only follow with SPL!
If your xperia is stuck in a "boot loop", which I think is what you're describing (as I remember mine always said it was loading the rom, each time you rebooted) then there's a PC application called mtty. it gives a command line interface to the phone when connected by USB.
I don't remember what commands are needed, but a search of the forums should find them. You need to set it to boot properly. Sorry I can't be more helpful, it was last year at some point that I needed this last.

i heard you are supposed to flash the stock rom THEN soft spl. not the way you did it
It is the rule: always restore last what you have flash first

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.

No! the image is in the sd fat32 card. When there is no image in that it will say image not found!

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.

Mark

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?
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.
