Please, help with flashing - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all. Well I have just returned to my old nexus one, but the stock ROM takes a lot of space, so I can only have whatsapp installed... I have read a lot of posts here but actually I don't find nothing explanatory in order to flash ROM. I have tried to install black rose, but it stucks in "waiting for device" (I even haven't found no post to solve this), I have tried ROM Manager, but it doesn't seem to install a proper recovery...
I need help please... clear help

C'Mon... nobody??

Error 302...

Can someone tell me what Error 302 is when flashing? Trying to help someone, but the WIKI doesnt have a list of errors for the wizard...
Error 302: Update error.
It seems to happen to people flashing button_rom. Just today I've updated my howto at G3.6 with the following:
NOTE: Some people seem to have problem with flashing the button rom in this step (stops at 98% with error 302). Replace button_rom with Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102 and follow the rest of the steps normally when this happens!
Maybe this could help!
Hi guys.
Today i tried to install XDA Mobile 6 r2a rom, but on 99% i got an 302 error.

Did you follow Dr. P's instructions on downgrading and unlocking here?? If not -- you're right -- it's not unlocked, and until you unlock it "by the book", you won't be able to do anything else except run your Carrier's ROM.
All those stickies are there for a reason, and yet 30% of the posts on here sound just like yours. All it takes is a little time to read before you flash!!!
Yes, i've read it. but i have a problem. i cann't install any rom on my device. where can i get any rom, to make my device work???
Or can I unlock my device without installing any operating system on it, and then try to install wm6?

Have you tried the solution in my post above?

Xperia Prototype - Need massive amount of help!

Hello!
In my previous post i asked for the best ROM for the X1, ive already downloaded the image file for a ROM called "EnergyROM_KOVSKY_20090805_Standard".
Now i just want to know how to Apply it to the phone.
What do i need to change in the phone before installing the ROM?
Is it even possible to change ROM in a prototype?
I also have problems updating my ROM (when i tried it before)...RUU gives me error code 262.
AS you may notice, im really retarded when it comes to this, but hopefully i will learn sometime.
I will post some device info. Just so you know whats inside the phone.
Rom-Version: 1.02.936.3
Rom-Date: 08/29/08
Radioversion: 1.06.25.29
Protocall version: 52.43.25.24U
CPU: QUALCOMM(R) 7200A
Clock: 528 MHZ
RAM-Size: 256 MB
Flashmemorysize: 512 MB
Database: 32 Bit
StorageSize: 281.58 MB
Bluetooth-Version: 2.0/2.0+EDR
Firmware: R1AA017
And please: Dont redirect me to some multi thread that is named "How to flash your phone) Cause ive already tried it, but i dont understand **** there
If someone would be kind enough to give me a step by step walkthrough on how i do to upgrade just that ROM that ive downloaded. And what other programs i need to be able to fix my phone.
Thanks in advance!

You need to check in the bootloader(tri-colored screen) what your spl is... In order to flash a custom rom it will need to say this SPL-0.72.01OliNex....if it does not say this then you need to hardspl the phone...if you follow the instructions it is easy. Once this is done then you will need this....copy the ROM you have downloaded into the CustomRUU folder and execute the file. If this does not work....you will need to format your memory card(Fat32) and follow these instructions, plus there is a video tutorial regarding all the procedures you need....the instructions are as basic as one can get.
Good luck.
Regards,
WC

You mean that no person with a general knowledge about flashing rom = busting warranty shouldnt be allowed using a phone?
How do you know anything about what i do with the phone, with what apps im using, and what im using it for?
Mind your own business and come back to the thread when you have something to contribrute.

There's a list of error messages here somewhere. Maybe you can find it here. I think the answer is here. It sais just try again after turning off and turning it back on again
btw, being rude to other users isn't going to help you get your questions answered any faster. Updating roms isn't that hard anymore, but you need to be carefull and know what you're doing. If you don't understand how flashing works and what you need to do for that, you can read the stickies in this rom section. I think it's explained very clearly and step by step lots of times.
edit: looking at all your posts, it seems you've asked the same about three times, and most things kan be found easily by google or the xda forum search. Maybe try a bit harder before asking here?
if you don't like criticism, just ignore my post; everybody has to learn to work with windows mobile, but the only way is to try a lot yourself, search, try some more, search again, then ask and try some of the answers given. Don't get agitated when not everyone is giving you the right answer in clear steps, most of the users are trying to explain as good as they can with the information provided.
the guides are pretty thorough...
if you read them its clear enough...
(assuming you want to use non official Sony roms - you need to flash your hardspl so you wont get errors... (think this is where you're stuck)...
download a hardspl and flash it via activesync)
Then
copy the rom into your sd card root directoy...
rename it to kovsimg.nbh
hit the reboot switch while holding down power and the down vol button to start the update process
this is the easiest way...
but as above, if you want shortcuts for everything and dont read the instuctions clear you MAY END UP BRICKING YOUR PHONE...

I'ts a difference in writing a post with no meaning and a post like you just did.
Example: You start a new thread, no matter what it's about. There are two guys responding.
One guy is giving you this as a answer: Lol, thats kinda noobish that you dont know how to use your phone.
The second guy answers just like you did, you gave me information and links on where and what to search for. But still points out that theres many "obvious" stuff that im asking for.
Big difference.
Back to topic. I've already figured out how to do all, i have all the files that i need.
The problem is that when i try and update the SPL to 1.00.X1 instead of thje other 1.02.Olinex (or what its called) I always get a connetion error 262.
Ive read the links that you gave me before, and it says that you need to either softreset, change usb port or reboot your computer. Guys in another thread gives the same instructions.
Still no success.
So since i've done my searching, done the exact procedure that you should do. And it's still not working. Is that still something just "obvious" to ask for?
And i apologize if i hasn't been clear enough in this thread that the phone im using is a proto. And i still haven't been confirmed by some other proto user that this method is acctually working.
I'm thankfull for all the (helpfull) responses i get. And im trying them all.
If something else comes up i will post it in this thread. No matter if its obvious or not.
Have a nice day everyone!
Looks like there's a connection error when your phone reboots to go into tri-color boot menu.
Google for USB Mass storage device, download the driver and install it and then try again.
Of course you have to find the right driver for your OS.

haha, damn, thats obvious, that i didnt think of that before. hehe, thank you!
Btw, if the phone gets into the tricolor menu, and the progressbar shows up (but still stuck at 0%) can it still be because the driver?
Thanks
if its stuck at 0% it means you're not flashing a compatible rom...
obviously you havent flashed the spl...
flash a OFFICIAL sony rom first... if you still have issues at least you know its either the 'prototype' hardware
or your PC...
which i'd suggest try flashing from another PC...

Oh, im sorry if i didnt expressed myself good enough.
When im using X1_HardSPL i get the 284 update error.
When in using the custom RUU i get the 262 error.
So i guess the X1_HardSPL application is to change SPL?
If i cant seem to change SPL i wont be able to change rom either. Correct?
Since i have the SPL that was shipped with the phone, can i still upgrade from R1A to R3A without changing SPL?
Have you disabled any of your firewall and anti virus programs when you try using the software?
I previously always had to disable my zonealarm firewall before I could uset he spl software....
Yes I've done.
yes if you have the stock SPL you can upgrade from R1a to R3a with the standard SE update utility.
which can be downloaded at the SE site under support.

The Phone is still a Proto.....
Therefor not accepted by SEUS
Try flashing the official Sony Ericsson ROMs first. No need to Hard-spl for those.
I cant install R3A :S
It says "No image found" bootloader.
And the card is FAT32, and the file is named Kovsimg.nbh
And yes, its placed in the root of the Card.

And if you try to flash via ActiveSync with CustomRUU? That worked most of the times with my X1. Oh wait, that got you the error 262.
In one of your other threads someone says (or you quoted) that one of the advantages of a proto was that there's no security check, which means it might not even be necessary to use HardSPL first.
I've had error 262 a few times; just try to flash again, maybe from another computer if that's possible. You can also try to flash another rom first.
Which roms have you tried flashing? Have you tried with a freshly formatted sd-card smaller than 2 gb (although I think that won't have any effect); you can also try renaming kovsimg.nbh with all small letters, all capitals or the way you just spelled it. It might be important.
offtopic: I get your point on the reactions you get when opening new threads. Everything is simple when you now where to look or if you've done it before, but it can be very hard to find the answer when there's so much info to choose from.
That said: a topic title of something like "having trouble flashig a custom rom to prototype" sounds a bit more serious then "need massive help" with a lot of exclamation marks. That might set people off on the wrong foot.

It's not working. :'[

Hi ladies and gentlemen!
I have tried and tried and tried to flash mi tilt, and no luck. I've followed the intructions(let me guess well if you followed the instructions then you shouldn't be having a problem? save it.) It's not working! :[[[[[[[[ It keeps giving me the error 262 update error. I did what the solution said to do which was to soft reset and enter bootloader, and i did that but still no luck. I 'flashed' wm6.1 i think well installed it from htc's website and it worked and stuff, but i hate it! It is so laggy when i text and it keeps going into sleep mode after 10 seconds or the backlight goes dim after 10 seconds i've tried fixing it with what htc says to do but it still does it after 10 seconds. AND kaisertweak wont work it says the file is corrupt; i've tried re-installing it so many times i threw my phone!!!! ;[ It still works but it has a dent on the side. It doesn't bug me Anyway, someone has to have a solution for all this! PLEASE!!! AND THANK YOU in advance. I also followed the instructions on 'flashing for newbs' and still no luck. If you need info on my phone here it is: WM6.1, (when entering bootloader with the power+camera+SR) 3.56, THE PHONE IS UNLOCKED(as in i can use t-mobile, verizon, etc.), and that's all i can remember lol. Oh yeah one more thing, i can't seem to get rid of the 'bloatware' :'[ I've tried many so-called 'solutions. :'[ no luck. HELP!
This is the second " help me with my phone " thread you have started in the rom development section. You are not developing a rom or aiding a chef in developing a rom. So stop starting new threads here. Your last one was locked, and so will this one. This is not the I'm a noob , help me section. If you are having a problem post it in the flashing for noobs thread. There is no problem that you are having hat hasn't already been addressed in that thread.
Have you flashed hardspl yet ? Which one 3.34, 3.56. 3.29. 3.29 cmonex ? Have you tried flashing from an SD card ? 262 is a usb error. Have you tried reloading activsync ? Have you Disabled anti virus and firewalls. Saying I've tried everything tells people nothing.

Posted in here:
Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)
Maybe a better place to get help
Please post in correct sections no matter how you think you may get more responses.
Have you tried indenting paragraphs or cutting up your post so that it can be read?
Is it just me, I can't read that stuff?
So, if his phone is unlocked, is it possilbe his phone is already set to flash? I guess it depeneds on how it's unlocked.

You figured wrong, twice apparently, so Mr. Denco was showing you your failures in figuring. You got the "attitude" for posting in the wrong section TWICE.. When a mod closes or moves the thread, they explain why..

[Help] Flashing stuck at "Update In Progress" screen

I've done many flashes before. Maybe 1 too many (if possible???). I just flashed it and it seems to be stuck at the "update in progress..." screen, but it's at 99 -100% and it hasn't moved. I reflashed it 3 times and it's still stuck at this stage. I already HardSPLed it and i'm using energy rom. Do you guys have any idea what could be wrong? could it be because i flashed my phone too many times? i think i flashed it a total of 25+ times because after a certain point the phone starts to glitch up so i need a new flash... and i also like to keep updated..
please help! thank you in advance!
btw, I'm flashing via sdcard
Try RUU
Dear friend,
I had the same situation with my old Tytn II.
This is my recommendation:
If you have already done the HARD Spl,which is great,now do the following:
Go to the OFFICIAL HTC site and grab the latest stock 2.07 ROM.
Download it and you will get the RUU with it. RUU ( Rom Update Utility). Updating with RUU usually solves many problems when phones stuck at boot or whatever.
Follow the instructions in RUU and flash stock ROM.
But BEFORE you do anything,REMOVE that SD card with Energy ROM on it.
Please let me know if I was helpful.
Good luck,
Alexander.

[Q] Flashing a ROM, SDCard WON't work, error in RUU.

Hello, so as I stated in the title, I want to flash a custom rom to my X1, I have already installed HardSPL, .72 version, and tried to flash an Energy rom.
The SDCard method won't work, I get the "Image file not found" with my card, and the same error but with some red letters appearing on top of the screen with the other 2 cards i tried. I tried to use KovskyAdvancedRUU to task28 (flash the phone regularly) and as soon as it gets to 1% I get the "Invalid Model ID" error.
Any ideas? Seriously, I don't know if this has been answered before but I have been searching for days and found nothing.
I will be really grateful if someone can provide help, and really sorry if there's already an answer on this.
My already installed rom is WM6.1, stock, Greek.
use hardSPL .78 try again.be sure u did steps in right order
Thanks for the reply! Please check the thread again later, I'll post the result!
dont forget use task 29 before flashing and hard reset after flashing for good perform for your rom...
