Urgent help required 1 flash to stock SPL and one idiot (me) - XPERIA X1 ROM Development

Hi all I desperately need someones help!
I was an idiot and did not follow instructions properly when reverting to stock SPL for warranty return because of cracks
I flashed back to stock SPL by micro SD method, which appears to have wiped the os from the phone, now I have... a stock spl, and no orignal signed rom to flash back on...and a message on my screen on the bootloader saying "Continue to Upgrade Rom Please wait..." please could someone give me a suggestion, I have spent the last 2 hours searching the forums for a resolution if I try to flash anything, it freezes at 0%
Cheers
Steve

Finally screwed my pda, help ?

Oh well that will teach me for playing, i have an xda mini s on 02 which was happily running the MB custom rom, i had to use shell tool to do this as it's a G4 device, i have done this twice now with no problems at all.
So i thought i would try a newer rom version
[os] 5.2.318
Build aku 15341 aku.4.0.0.01 WWE
Which is posted half way down on this page http://ppcwarez.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=18670&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15
I used the same process as before, but instead of taking 10 -11 mins to update only the os, it finshed in 1 min because i got the activesync disconnect noise.
So i dont know what to do now ? if i turn it on it just sits at the blue 02 screen with all the ipl and spl and radio versions, obviously there is no os on there now.
How do i fix this please ?
Any ideas ?
Thanks.....
Please provide your current IPL and SPL to help us here, but based on what you are saying you need to put your phone into the bootloader screen (hold down the camera button while you turn it on, and get to teh "rainbow" screen). Then you can flash your carrier's official ROM onto your phone. Once you've done that, you should be good to go to play again.
Note, Activesync will NOT connect while you are in the bootloader screen, but you can still flash the official rom this way (do NOT try to flash a custom ROM, only an official one).
Ok many thanks for the quick reply, i did get the official rom but did not know about getting into bootloader and flashing it that way.
I have put it back to default 02 rom now, and i will make sure i do not flash a custom rom this way, good tip.
I am off now to flash again this custom rom and try again.
Thankyou very much for your help

what part is it stuck on, the white screen?
Provide more information
hey bro, he's saying about error 300, pls get newer update utility
flash area is screwed so you may think in a customized ruu update to ignore cid check and get your phone on
my friend updated it he didint install the 3 cab before doing the ruu utility .he stuck in white screen for long time then ..we are in bootloader menu now...
error 300 is beyond my knolage
plz help how to custimize the ruu ..
i know how to do it for wizard but not for herald is it the same way or there another way ..
thank you in advance
htc p
ipl 1.08.0001
spl 1.08.0001
model hera100
bro.. error 300 means "supposed" you have to flash your device with a newer flash tool (newer? there's no newer utility!) so we have to find the way to recover OS part first- I think by recovering OS and booting up device again we can find a way to recover CID area and unbrick our devices
the problem is, nobody wants to help
jockyw2001 --> he's a great coder/programmer but he doesnt look for those areas
Olipro --> he didnt say a word about that. We're expecting hardSPL unbrick tool
POF --> no words too
so, these are the 3 great programmers here, but no words from them.
What can we do? I think nothing... Bcoz Im stucked in "Invalid Certificate" screen and no reply from anyone... I think the brick problem here is from everyone cuz we dont get any reply
Pls.. I know we get devices from several months ago.. I think we can get all opinions, suggestions, everything and get herald unbricker.. come on!
tramuyo.... while your answer is technically correct, theres a better answer.
From what i understand, he attempted to flash a custom rom via hardspl or USPL. This is a no-no if the SPL is lower than 4.
so for now my phone is bricked .
i tried to flash it with my original rom. still error 300
.thank you guy for u replay
the problem is, we need Olipro help to get our devices recovered. At least, recover OS part
true. maybe we can somehow lure him into the forum. let's assume he searches his name on a semi-regular basis (i do, but i digress)
Olipro Olipro Olipro Olipro Olipro Olipro Olipro Olipro Olipro Olipro
thats probably enough
Olipro doesnt reply our messages. I think he have the clue to solve our problems, but i dont know why he doesnt want to publish it or something
can we start to donate for man who can solve this problem?
can we start to donate for man who can solve this problem?
i can donate 100$
me too
just help as we will do evey thing
till now my phone is in bootloader menu
no can do
but i heard that if i hard spl it it will work is it correct.
any idea
i have also such problem. 1st i have make hard spl and write patched rom in to p4350. after i try 2 write oficial rom and got only boot menu.
as i understant the only solution 4 it is writing native rom on it but problem is that i dont know what rom was there before. my mistake . another problem is that hard spl works only in normal mode via instaling cab files and patching spl. so does exist hard spl 4 this model which is writing via boot mode or patching rom whithout cid checking?
I don't know if there's anything you can do, but try this. It hasn't been tried on the Herald, that I know off, but it's worth a try.

This is a wild guess, but if your able to get to the boot menu.
What about trying to download a micro rom and copy it over to your sd card.
Then perform a soft reset as you would to enable the boot loader menu.
I think it's worth a try.
has there been an update on how to exit from a tri-color bootloader screen?
I ran into this problem today and have searched for hours with no clue as to a way to resolve the issue.
I notice also that right before the tri-colored screen appears I see a flash of a white screen and I believe it says it cannot detect SD card... if that helps
I encountered this problem only after having flashed to the new 7.7 open touch and my phone no longer being recognized on my PC for activesync
problem (300) bootloader
I have problem the same. exists somebody that helps me? urgent
i have same phone hera100 and same problem still in tricolour display.how solve this problem

8125 bootloader stuck

ok, im inbetween a newb and a full out destructive force to any type of moddable device and im having a little bit of trouble with my cingular 8125. ive had this phone for a few months and i am having the hardest time dealing with the rom on the phone now. ill give a quick breifing on it:
got it with original cingular rom, not sure what spl or ipl on it but the first thing i did was unlock it by myself, cid and sim unlocked, and then updated to a jaguar wm 6.1 rom which worked fine. decided i was going to unfortunately sell this phone so i decided to upgrade it one more time to see if i really wanted to sell it, i then bought the upgrade to go past my 2.21 ipl and spl. i got my unlocker and followed my instructions and got a brick. but not a full brick. its stuck in the bootloader screen. after reading countless threads, i learned that i should be able to just still update a rom to the phone with no problems which actually works, but as soon as a rom completes it goes right back to my bootloader screen so help me! please cuz now thats its a challenge again, i want the phone! plus all my info is on the phone still back up
Flash the official stock ROM first, then use Button's ROM to downgrade your IPL and SPL before unlocking CID.
post the present IPL/SPL it displays now.Which rom you are trying to flash now ?
ok when i try to put the most current 8125 rom on my phone (2.25.blah) it tells me that its not the same phone which is weird but thats preventing me from putting the original rom on the phone. however if i try and put the buton rom on the phone now, it will go through completely and say it put it on the phone, but when it restart, its right back to the bootload screen...
and im running IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21 with a previous installation of a jaguar rom, dont know exactly which one, but i know it was a jaguar rom. but right before i tried to upgrade the updater, i went back to my default WM5 rom so i guess it was te basic 2.21 rom on the phone with WM5

WEIRD !
You got mixed Bootloaders of G3 And G4,IPL 2.21.0001 is G4 and SPL 2.21 is G3,as you posted,well,can't say which was original,only you can tell,but some how its mixed Bootloaders,in this situation no Rom will flash,its a 'Brick'.
If as Zabardast says its bricked then you have three options:
1. Get a new Wizard
2. Get a new Wizard Motherboard
3. Get a Wizard with broken LCD from eBay and replace its LCD with your current one and Enjoy!!! (Cheapest)
lol this is tough! but no worries, ill be back with some other pda at some point and time and then ill try and take this phone apart! but the weird thing about my wizard is that this only happened when i tried to update the phone with the CID unlock program that you have to pay for!
lol it was perfectly fine until i tried to do it! oh well, back to my crappy p168!
May be that CID Unlock program was not meant to be for a G3 and you were updating a G3 so it mixed you IPL/SPL and caused a kinda BRICK. So please be careful before doing flashing things because if you dont be carefull then your PPC may become a heavy paper weight, and a costy one too. LOL. TC

Cingular 8125 problems
Ok guys i am really pissed i have been looking for three days and cant find it, first off my IPL is at 1.01 and the SPL is at 2.25 and i cant fix it i wanted to install the original 2.25 again and start from scratch but can not find the damn thing so if anyone has it can u just upload it fo me and give me a link that i can get it at please i am sick and tired of waitnin i really like this phone and i dont want to risk bricking it thanks.
Ok, grimgod, aggression is reaaaallly ugly and no freakin one will help with that sh!t attitude (pardon the language, mods). The senior members do everything they can to help the noobs. Have you tried reading the flashing guide, wiki, or tutorial? I'd bet even money you haven't. Have you CID unlocked? Did you flash the button rom twice ( as the guide suggested to get ipl/spl both 2.xx)? Did you flash the official tmo rom (found im the flashing guide)? Have you done anything other than sit on your hands and wait for it to be handed to you? READ AND SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310831 <HERE!!!!!!!!!! Should I flash your device, too?
Similar issue... need some Wizard Expertise
I picked up a coworkers old Cingular 8125 that he'd had in a drawer for about a year. Battery was right dead so the phone wouldn't boot. I charged the battery on an external charger for a few minutes, put it back into the phone, and plugged it in to the charger until the LED went green indicating a full charge.
When I power up I see the T-Mobile splash screen (light gray background, some square dots, and the "T-Mobile" logo). And there it stays indefinitely.
Tried a hard reset (Comm Mgr + Voice Cmd + Soft Reset), and it said "Press Send to restore factory default". Pressed the green dialer key (I assume that's send), and it says Format FAT partition, FAT partition complete, and then returns to the same T-Mobile splash screen and hangs there.
So then I tried putting it into Boot Loader manually (Power On + Camera). No problem, shows IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26. Plug it into the computer USB port (running XP Pro), and then the USB connection shows on the phone. Attempted to flash the Wizard Love ROM to get this thing back to square-one. Error 260. Attempted to flash the T-Mobile stock ROM. Error 260.
Between each flash attempt, I'm pulling the battery out and starting fresh. I think I've followed all the steps I'm finding in multiple threads. But for some reason I'm not able to get this thing to communicate via USB. All RUU's give an Error 260. Am I missing something?
Forgot to mention I'm following the steps outlined in this thread from Dr P. To the letter!
Also did a little reading up on using the MTTY method in this thread by Drug_Store. Thought maybe the existing ROM might be intact, and I might be able get it to a 256MB MiniSD, then write the backup ROM from SD in boot loader. Well, for some reason I don't even see the USB connection option when I use the MTTY - can't ever get to a point where I can issue commands. Again, I think I'm following the instruction. But still no juice.
Nudge, nudge. I'd donate for a solution that works... otherwise I have to keep letting my 10 year old play The Quest on my phone.

Update Service not recognizing the device (official update)

I got xperia for about 7 months now. Back in feb. 2009 i installed the update service suite from SE and upgraded my rom following the onscreen indications...everything worked fine and i was happy 'till now when i want to update the rom again.
So...i download the new version of update service from SE website...install it, do exacly as they say but i can't get my phone detected when the colour lines appear...it goes from serial to usb a few times then i get the message on the PC...it can't detect my device. I pugged out everything from my laptop, changed the **** usb port, rebooted, killedmyself a few times but nothing works. I use Windows XP sp3 and it's the same laptop i used back in february when everything worked fine.
PS: this is my last SE phone...it's inacceptable that a phone like this (highend and pricy) would crack on the volume buttons side. At least for me Xperia was simply not a good way to go.
Try turning off and on the "allow usb connections" box in Device Center/ Active Sync settings. That was the only thing that worked for me.
I tried that too...does not work. I can see the bar indicator for 2-3 seconds at 0% then the device resets and tries again. Also from time to time i see a screen with "no image loaded" or something. If i reboot it the device works ok with the rom it has installed now.
Which rom do you use?
Have you try to make a hard reset just before trying to use update service?
No...i didn't try a hard reset...will try.
These are my official rom details :
ROM version: 1.03.931.10
ROM date: 02/02/2009
Radio version: 1.10.25.18
I can't belive it's so hard updating something the way the manufacturer intended to and pointed the user too
Ok...hard-reset does not do anything good ether. On the coloured screen i get this information :
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0liNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
Please help before i crush it and throw it away
The issue is your SPL: you have Olinex SPL but update service doesn't work with it!!!
Flash back to stock SPL
Flash back what...the rom that is now installed as u see in the first posts is like 02.02.2009 ... how do i flash it back ? can u be more specific or point me exacly how to do it? i don't wanna mess it up. Cheers.
The information you gave show SPL 0.72 Olinex
I think you try several custom rom before flashing back to stock rom
Olinex SPL is needed for custom rom but update service doesn't work if you have it on your phone
Go here to flash back to stock SPL
After that, update service should work
on other hand, try to download one of the latest rom's found here on xda, rename it to kovsimg.nbh an perform an update trough the sd method. works too, you know. if you do so then SEUS will allow updating again, no need to revert back to stock spl, at least, that was in my case... long time ago.
I wrote an email to sony ericsson giving this info and i'm waiting to see their "official" answer to this issue. I wanna do this the official way...don't wanna mess up something.
If you guys still have ideas i could use feel free.... cheers.

I wonder how they'll take that..
"Soooo you hacked your phone and don't know how to get it back. You want the "official" method? Send us your phone and £50 and we'll do it"
P.S. This is just too funny!
Dan White...did u read the first posts? I didn't hack anything....i updated my rom back in feb with a new OFFICIAL rom and that was that (the phone still works with that one) and now i wanna do another OFFICIAL update...how did i hack it ?

you see that SPL - 0.72 is from 0linex? Stock SE rom doesn't come with 0linex.
Really, you must have did hard-spl to your device... no way you could not have done it.... unless.... you've bought a refurbished x1 and they have only restored the stock rom for you, that's why you could update once..
Really, think again, think hard... we are here trying to hep you and based on the info you gave us, we can only see that the device been hard-spl -ed.
like i said earlier, download an official Rom, rename the nbh file to kovsimg.nbh and copy it to your microsd, power off your device, hold both volume down and power button at the sametime untill a tri-color screen pop's up, followed by a grey screen and follow instructions. link to official roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
link to revert back to stock spl:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
latest section in first post. not difficult, just follow the order.
Really, your phone is not stock anymore, but that's better anyway...
cheers.
I understand what you mean. I will do as you indicated tonight but please belive me that i only did 1 update in february and i did it trought SE update service and it worked back then (that's all i did and that's why i'm amazed).
Thank you for the info and i will be back to post news.
Ok...managed to upgrade my rom to R3 but i can't hardspl to ruusigned_072stockspl.
As you can see in the first picture the hardspl detects the image from within the phone (1.05.931.10) and the one that i want to install (0.72.stockspl). I go forward, the phone goes into 3 color mode and then i get the error 284 as seen in the second picture.
I changed the usb port but no luck.
God i swear this is my last smartphone
Forgot to upload the pictures...here they are.
i'm having the same problem as you are. I updated my phone to the R2A version around April. Now when I try to update my phone it doesn't detect my phone. i checked the boot loader screen and it also doesn't show the stock SPL. I don't know how can Sony Ericsson Update Service do this to our phones.
Did you do the sd card boot for the R3A version? I'm going to try this tonite and see if it works.
Yes, there's a post in this thread that points you to the link with stock windows mobile roms. I upgraded to R3 just using sd card. But the hardspl is very stubborn...i could not get it work. By the way what is hardspl and what is the difference between the 2 roms? one si for windows software and hardspl is like the 'bios' so to speak?
Anyone had this problem...please help me to get the hardspl stock.

Please Help!

Hello
first an foremost i would say im an idiot. i tried to "Micro SD method" my spl back to stock...( i dont not know why i would do such a thing). Now i have stock spl... but no rom. if anyone could please help me i would be forever grateful. i have no clue why i would do something stupid like this. if anyone could please help thatd be great.
it says the following
RUUNBH
Kovs100
SPL-0.72.0000
Microp1-787
microp2- 707
Continue to Upgrade ROM
Please wait...
had the same problem, you still have a rom but your phone keeps hanging in the SPL Screen.
Please search fot mTTy i think i wrote a short instruction in the hard spl thread.
it was something with the : set 14 and set 16 command...
Got it fixed easily with this way...
regards
Try putting a stock rom as kovsimg.nbh on your ms and boot in the spl. Maybe it will recognise the update and flash for you
i tried doing the Micro SD, Official rom. and it all says its loading.
im trying to do this mtty thing but i cant seem to get it working.
meska i cant seem to get the same screen you got, if you could elaborate a little bit more.
so far i have mtty isntalled on windows xp...and a potentially bricked phone. any further steps, please?
