Hey everyone. I'm tearing my hair out trying to get this sorted but I just don't know what to do!
So, when I got my X1 as everyone on here should do, was flash my X1 with the HardSPL and some custom roms, this was a few months back. Then, shock! Horror! My case went and broke, (cracked near the volume button build W44) so I sent it back to SE for repair. I sent it back reset back to defaults but left the hardspl on there.
SE sent me a brand new phone (I think... This one says under the battery build w50, but the battery says w32..) I received it today. I thought it would be my old one repaired but SE had other ideas. Booted up and have Image Version: 1.03.931.10 and HardSPL 72.000 I think I said that correctly...
Now since sending it for repair and receiving it back, their seems to be quite a few wm6.5 roms floating about, and obviously I can't use the stock software as that wouldn't be right!
Now I have tried flashing the hardspl to the phone through my Vista PC and all it keeps giving me is connection errors. I thought maybe it was already flashed so I tried flashing just a rom, and that just made the phone get stuck on loading (flash by memory card). I thought it might be Vista, so I tried doing it on my other PC (XP) and I get the same issue. This bloody thing won't flash!
I have had "Connection Problems" - "Update Errors" with different numbers. The current one being Error [260] CONNECTION.
Now I have been searching around through the hardspl thread and other places trying to find out what I need to do or how I can fix it, but everything I try doesn't make a difference. I did read some other people with recently repaired phones having the same problem and perhaps SE have put a new spl thingy-ma-jiggy on there. (Please forgive the technical jargon, I have no idea what im on about.) I have also tried the ticking/unticking advanced network functionality, but that hasn't made a difference either.
So by the end of typing this, I have little hair left. Let's hope you can all help, before I have none left!
I would appreciate ANY help! Really.
Just wanted to add, I was at first getting the phone to a loading bar when flashing, but it would stay at 0% then flag up an error on the PC. Now after the tri-colour bars, the phone just sticks on Loading...
Well just to update. I have been trying to sort this since posting. I flashed the rom to an old UK generic one, as I read in another topic people had to do that before HardSPL. Done that, and tried flashing the hardspl. Same thing, just getting connection errors.
I tried going into bootloader and running the hardspl from there. It works and the phone gets to 10% and then gives an UPDATE ERROR. The phone is now bricked, and I have to reflash the original wm rom to get it back.
Though the Tricolour screen now shows 0.52.Olinex
Any ideas?
Shameless bump for help.
very stupid situation.
i have the same situation in puncto of flashing.
i get my phone three month ago.
after hardspl i .... sorry, no hardspl ... the phone says at 0% bla bla bla
i solve the problem by consulting one night absolutly stressing again and again and again .... google ... xda ... google
than 3 thinks at one time was the solution:
0. need activesync - connect !!!!
1. SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe for desktop pc
2. enterbootloader.exe for pocketpc (please, the right version, it exist for eten too, but we need the xpediaversion ..)
3. changing registry-entries
how to:
activesync-connect, than copy "enterbootloader.exe" to pocketpc. it must be root, not sd-card. use a pocketpc-registry-program to change these values :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 144
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies\0000101b = 1
if not exist than add the key.
now, start desktop-program, follow instruction EXCEPT reboot.
start "enterbootloader.exe" on pocketpc. now, you can install hardspl and the device is flashable for ever.
thats works on me, hope it could help you too.
Thanks for the reply. Not had time to try it till this morning. Ok so, after spending about an hour trying to find the correct enterbootloader.exe I finally realized, that the hardspl package includes it. *Duh!* So that was time wasted.
I changes the registry values as you said with Resco registry editor, and follower the unlock then enterbootloader.exe Start HardSPL package. Starts to install. Gets to 10% then I get
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
The rom update utility has encountered communication errors during the update process.
So im open to suggestions if anyone has any. I just can't understand why it's not working. It's not a problem with my computer or cables. I flashed the phone before I sent it for repair and I have tried doing it on two computers one with XP 32bit and one with Vista 64bit.
hmm. would u like to install a custom rom, or a stock rom?
msg me, and i hope, i can halp u.
I want to have the hardspl on there so I can flash custom roms.
If it's a case of the software/firmware/hardspl whatever you call it, has been updated by SE. How would one go about getting it flashed? Would we have to wait for an update HardSPL to be released?
U read this thread?
My first hardspl was from this thread. New X1 will come tomorrow back from SE (vibration was defect +++ some more problems with case), and i will try it again with this thread.
hope, this will help u mate.
Yeah, I have been through that thread with a fine toothcombe trying everything suggested to see if I can make it work.
When you get yours back, if you have to do anything out of the ordinary to get it to flash or can't do it. Please come and let me know in this thread. If they have updated yours like mine, and yours won't flash, at least I won't be the only one!
k, i will msg u tomorrow around 2pm.
Cheers.
In the meantime. Does anyone have any other suggestions I could try?
Bump, for some help.
now i know, what is exatcly your problem.... <--- SAME Problem
i hope, i will find a solution and msg u then. if u´ll got a solution for this prob, msg me too plz.
Solution found in this Thread!
Download this and unzip it to your device. ++ run it. It will start your X1 in Bootloader menu and say "0.52.OliNex".
Then start hardspl while X1 is in Bootloadermenu....
FINISH =)
Thanks for the reply matey. Glad you got yours sorted. Just tried what you said and I get 0% then it switches to ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR.

hmmm... it works fine on my new x1. are u sure, that u start the ssplmanual on your x1 and not on your computer?
Yea, im not sure what the problem was with it. Thankfully I have it done and dusted today! Because I flashed it earlier to an older official version, and you said you got it working. I presumed you had - had yours flashed to the newest version due to it being off for repair. So I reflashed the official update and fully updated it. Then tried hardspl which didn't work. Tried with the advanced USB thing off, tried again with how you said you did it above, and Viola!
Hip hip hoorah! Thanks for the help. Can finally use me bleedin phone now!
no problem mate hf with your x1
hello,
i see smilies and yea's ...
for me to understanding (for next time or other users):
1. complete official update (if exists)
2. flashing (hardspl) without "advanced usb"
thats all?
cool.

I have an BA XDA2s, and was attempting to upgrade ROM to latest WM5 version. Got as far as going into bootloader mode, and running BAupgradeUT. Mid update the programe said it had lost connection to phone (pretty sure i didnt accidentally disconnect it). My xda is now stuck with a blank screen with nothing except v2.08 at the botttom, and either USB or Serial at the top (depending on weather on cradle or not). I tried running BAupgradeUT again - but it has a connection error before it even starts now.
During the update my computer said that it had detected new hardware, and started trying to install drivers for it, but got stuck when it couldnt find "wceusbsh.sys" file in my windows dir. (i forget which im afraid ...)
im perfectly happy to accept any solution - including ones that involve restoring the retail rom - i just want my phone back. can anyone help me, or am i royally screwed? thanks in advance...........
****...I fu**ed things up 2:S What to do now?
i think ive solved mine - if your having the same problem as me, i can give ya a hand... otherwise - im probably not the best person to talk to ......
well...tell me please, because i know what i did wrong...no extrom on my sd card...
right well - im pretty new at this, so bear with me
basically i eventually solved the problem by locating the file that it couldnt find, and when i had located that file, it had no problems communicating with the phone. so i ran the update again - and it worked fine...
afaik - the screen blank screen with v2.08 is just the normal screen while it waits for the rom to be uploaded.....
hth..... if not then its out of my leauge
ok..i'll try again:S
Hello all,
first, a big thanks to all the rom developers around. You transformed my Diamond in a usable and enjoyable tool.
What happened to me tonight is very frightening. In fact, I cannot believe what happened.
And this is the story: I was at a birthday party and later in the evening I checked my phone : it seemed to have frozen, so I rebooted it as I do sometimes when I have no other choice. But this time something strange happened : I got the following message "this concludes the beta test of this software release. thank you very much for your time and effort in helping make this a great product for our customers" - what the ... ? No way to make a call, the message is impossible to remove... completely blocked !!!
I don't remember exactly the rom I flashed last because I sometimes change. It might be a dutty's release (75%M sure) - anyway I was in a very bad situation because my wife wasn't feeling well and I couldn't call her without finally borrowing a phone from someone.
I will flash a new rom tomorrow and I hope that the message will disappear but I can tell you that it is a very strange feeling when suddenly your phone refuses to operate normally. It's a nightmare.
I hope that someone has an explanation for this because I don't want to go trough this situation ever again, it's just so annoying to have a phone which tells you "No you can't use me; your trial period has expired" when you need it he most.
Thank you for your opinions in advance
Have you tried a hard reset?
Yep same problem here.
Using duttys 1.93 - Can't get to his website either.
Hard rest does not work - had to reflash back to branded (Telstra) ROM
i'm having the exact problem right now, what can i do to fix this? someone told me to reflash it but how? i'm VERY new to the diamond
hardreset does not work
I bought the phone from a person so it's second hand. The seller did mention he updated the ROM, I'm assuming this is the cause of the problem? help please
thanks!
I am getting the exact same problem.I do not know what to do.
Sigh and since my computer will not sync, I cannot reflash it. Hard set is also a no go.
ya I cant sync it with my computer either... i'm searching other sections on this forum and I cant seem to find one that teaches you how to flash without syncing with the computer
OK i got it well kinda sorta. If you hard reset and just use the date taht dutty had then your phone will load. Do not correct the date and you should also change the date on your computer so that it wont sync. Then donwload his new rom or whatever rom you prefer and then flash it. Then change the dates back. It worked for me.
thanks.. do you have the link for the new rom?
I'm going to give it a try
The link it dutt'y new rom is here http://rapidshare.com/files/162091111/Ruu_Signed_duttys_diamond__V2.9_5_2_20275_RTM_Full_MSVC.zip
just a question how do you flash it?
can you help me? i'm very new to this phone
I had the same problem last night- expired beta software. If I do a hard reset I believe I will loose all the info on the phone, is that correct?
I was thinking that changing the date will work, is there another way to change the date without having to loose the info?
Someone has a reliable link to an instruction on how to flash the ROM?
I am also using throy 2.3, to find the latest release please go to WWW.DUTTYTHROY.NET
Any help appreciated.
!everyone! you can flash roms from bootloader. hold volume down and the little red reset button, keep holding vol down untill bootloader. at the tri color screen, run ruu from host pc. everything will be fine with this method. just like activesync.
ok i to change the time and stuff and it actually can sync using active sync.. however.. when tried to install HSPL 1.24 after the part where the phone will turn black.. i click on the DiamondCustomRUU as instructed
but it says this "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). CLick on OK to terminate the application"
Is there a way I can recover this without losing all that is on my phone?
Do anybody know the password for the latest ROM 2.9 from Dutty? His page is unavailable right now....
Duttys V2.9 RTM Finale
someone please tell me how to flash.. from scratch? i hard reset my phone.. and i cant get HSPL to work. When i install the activesync way, the black screen turns on then i cant open DiamondCustomRUU
if i do i the bootloader way, when i connect from the three colour screen it cant pick up the phone because it says i'm missing Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM
please help been stuck for hours already
i won't flash Duttys ROM again!!! Right now i need my phone and it doesn't work! And if i reflash it i lose my data....
never again!
its you have a problem with duttys rom
you need to use his thread to point out your problems....
not this one.
Hello out there.....
First of all i have to say THX to all these people which are really willing to help every1 with their great tutorials. Ive used alot of them already. Thanks.
And i have to say sorry for my english language, due Im german and i left school behind long time ago. I'm really taken pains to write this comment.
Now, in my case ive tried to restore my device (Xperia X1i) to OEM status step by step as its shown in this thread.
My worst issue is that my touchscreen aint work anymore after i flashed a custom ROM and that i got stock at the point where the ROM wants to configure the OS like "Tap the screen to continue with configuration".
Ive tried to flash way too much ROMs using HardSPL but the touchscreen wont let me do anything - no reaction.
So how can I restore the bootloader (SPL) on my device, when my touchscreen aint work? How can I take the following step without any working ROM ?
sirsycho said:
12. Run SSPL.KAIS.exe from your phone (make sure you do this on your actual device and not your PC)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I do not know what I did wrong, that the screen wont react anymore, but im sure that the SPL is the cause for this disaster.
I'm really desperate couz i already have sent the device to the SE Support, where they told me that there is an "extraneous" on my device although ive flashed the Stock ROM firstly... there was still something that bothered them...
After i got the device back the touchscreen worked again as funny, allthough the support did nothing on the device as they said in the delivery.
A bit skeptical but with alot of happiness i kept on flashing some ROMs after that.
Now, after i found a good ROM and kept this one on my device for some days the screen doesnt work again.....
This is what my bootloader says right now
Code:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.OliNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
....seems like the HardSPL is still there......
Honistly i had to apollogize (maybe too late) that this part of using a cellphone (flashing a ROM using HardSPL etc.) is a big fish and that ive underrated it. Now i have a 400$-Device which aint work anymore
Ive read like all Tutorials here at xda-devs containing something about flashing a ROM or informations about SPLs; tried everything
I feel like im lost and fu**ed right now....
Is there any1 can help me with my problem?
Hopefully there is.....i pray for him
first flash a stock rom
then just run the hard-spl exe, and replace the ruu_signed.nbh file
why are you trying to use kaiser spl?
use the things found in the hardspl sticky in the xperia section
Wrong Tutorial
You're using tutorial for wrong device (HTC Kaiser)
The correct tutorial is in first post (extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
But before restoring original hardspl you should flash with original rom found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
wow thanks for your answers !!
i never thought ill get response.
Its really weird that i havnt found that tut before bcuz i was looking through whole board.
I will try do that tomorrow.
I hope that it will work then. Don't wanna pay 300$ for a new device
Else there is mtty to restore the bootloader
Aight i have done the steps showing in the tutorial.
1. I have flashed teh Stock ROM (R2A german - Vodafone)
2. I've used the RUU with the stockSPL given in that post.
Now my tricolour screen shows the following
Code:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
This is what it shall looks like OliNex said.
I hope this is all i had to do, to make use of my device's guarantee, cuz the touchscreen still doesnt work
Seems like i really have to send my Xperia to the Support again (now hopefully with a ROM + SPL they wont reject)
But if i send my device with "extraneous" again i have to pay another 15€ just for let them do a costs estimate -.-
I would like to get a reply before i make use of the support again.
Thanks for all your help
Glad to hear recovering to stock rom + spl worked out.
Your touchscreen doesn't work when you have booted up windows?
If that's correct then I suggest to send in the device for service. Although
it might not help I suggest updating your device with SE updating service (SEUS) first.
After the flash remove the battery for 10 seconds, then turn it on.
Hope it helps and otherwise servicing the device is free of charges
Haha!
That's what im doing right now, using SEUS
Thanks for the tip with the battery but i already tried that way too often
Edit:
Ok, touchscreen still aint work....
Time to contact the support...at 11:45 PM **WOOT
nvm....Ill wait till tomorrow
gn8 and thanks for helping me with my issue ^^
a few days ago I returned my silver X1 for the same issue, my touch screen (digitizer) doesn't work. Then right in front of SE support person, he justed took out the battery and rebooted. Then it worked. The thing is, I did the same thing several times earlier that day and it did NOT worked. I am worrying of getting the same problem again and I only have until november 30th until my 1 year warranty expires. I haven't tried any cooked roms and it is because of warranty purpose. Altough I'm not new to custom roms since I own an Alpine and a Prophet. I've been here for some time now.
The thing that holds me back testing cooked roms on my Xperia is the aftermath if in case my device goes half-dead. I almost always read the restoring on to official roms everytime I get here, but still the thousand dollar spent on my phone's tag price comes with a fear of who's gonna rescue if my phone won't work. And to add that spare parts aren't available here as of the moment. And yes I'm eager and very curious about almost everyone saying cooked 6.5 is faster than stock roms but though I haven't tested it I have to disagree for now on my case basis.
First, my Xperia doesn't come with a carrier lock. It's locally called "open line" in my country I guess technically called debranding. Then my phone has the generic r3a rom via seus I think it's generic uk. Lastly, for some reasons, the touchflo 3d doesn't work with my device I've tried it since r1 firmware time. Some response told me to unlock-debrand my phone first but I dont have to since it isn't locked. Still installing tf3d makes my phone hang, doesn't uninstall, doesn't show in the themes list if installed as a theme, and doesn't let me have another panel since it always stay as tf3d whenever I choose another one. And it is very unstable in my device. These happened even if I install it as a panel.
I feel handsets here are faster than handsets that are locked by a carrier so I'm thinking again since for now, my Xperia works for me as stock as it is.
Hi everyone,
i've got a problem... i have tried to flash hardspl (bootloader) on my x1 but it doesnt work.
i have tried it like i read in the forum in different threads but i cant enter bootloader and when i start hardspl on my pc and take step by step as the program says... after the progression bar came - my phone display goes black and the front panel starts to shine and after a time i get a connection error on the hardspl program...
can anybody pls help me????
did you take out your micro sd card out of your phone?
That was my problem...........
I too have the same problem. I follow the instructions and HardSPL checks my x1. Then when I hit update (the rom). It gives me either error 202 or 246. Not sure why. Anyone?
EDIT: Problem persists with or without sdcard

Several time ago i got that error too, but i never give up. Try another hardspl for xperia, when u click it, it will auto generate to extract some file, just click romupdate utility and follow the same procedure.
If still got some error, try install it from a fresh computer with usb 2.0 installe and active synch.
You just got that error becouse there is some miss connection with another usb device.
UPDATE: it worked
So I did a hard reset on the phone (settings-> clear storage) and then tried again. Worked like a charm. Installing ROM right now!
Thanks everyone!
Moved to X1 Q&A as not Rom Dev
it still not work...
i have tried all you write me...
no it says first "no file found" and trys to update over usb and than it says again connection error...
what shall i do?
Hello. I'm new in here. half hour ago I got registered. so i have a problem with my HTC. For about 1-2 weeks now the device was restarting. 2 days ago the device never opened again. yesterday I tried the hard reset sequence and the device open to the message that i will lose everything and if i agree to press send but when i press it i get a green screen and nothing more. what can i do? what might be the problem? I uploaded also a video (but I can't post it cause I am a new user so ask me to send it as a pm) and a photo of the green screen.
thank you very much.
By all means, if you don't mind losing data that you had on the ROM memory, then hardreset.
Hard resetting I think is the best possible solution for you.
So press that green phone button when it tells you to ^>^
I already did a hard reset. that's why i have that green screen. I did a hard reset about 4-5 times now. thanks for your answer.
Ah, I see.
Try this:
Soft reset your phone while holding the camera button.
Does this get you to a screen where it's Red/Blue/Green/White Screen?
If it does, try plugging in a USB cord. If you get this far and see the word 'USB' in the lower left hand corner, then I think we can continue on.
I did it and it shows usb. what next?
Awesome, I'm glad.
Next, Download and run the .exe:
http://rapidshare.com/#!download|16..._4.17.405.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe|56629
After this, all should be well.
Now if you want to flash custom ROMs like the ones that I make, just follow the directions on any one of my ROM threads from Top to Bottom ^>^
before i continue. after the installation i will have the OS back? I will have to install it again? i had WM6. thank you very very much for all the help.

that's the message i got.
Hmm, okay, try searching mediafire for the user aizend1985 and look for an .exe entiled Wing something or another.. I'm out right now, so cant get the link for you.
Download and run.
i can't find the user. i'll try again. when you have the time please send me. again thankl you very much. have a great time.
Here you go mate, try this:
http://download1152.mediafire.com/he785npun6pg/yj1oz2m3mzm/TMo_Wing_RUU_Update_4.26.531.4.exe
If this doesn't work I'll try to do some research for you and see what we can do.
Error 244: Invalid model id.
Okay. The last thing you can do is to try the dutch vodaphone herald version:
http://rapidshare.com/#!download|18..._4.21.172.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.rar|52629
Download and run the .exe from the Red/Blue/Green/White screen.
If this loads onto your device, then what we do is we HardSPL next.
*crosses my fingers for ya*
If this doesn't work, then have HTC try to repair it. Because I don't think there is anything else to do for it :1
:'( Error 244: Invalid model id.
thank you very much for everything. at least I know that it can be fixed.
you reflashed your phone in some custom roms?
but it didnt work still and you tried the hard spl too.... can you tell me the history of your phone before it went like that, i am a technician and might help you on your problem.... what was the last thing you did on your phone? i will wait for your reply if it's ok....
dear [email protected]
I have the HTC P-4350 for the last 5 years. the last 1-2 weeks the phone started to freeze and the screen went white slowly and then restart. after the 2 weeks the phone closed and didn't open again but the hard reset is working until the part that said format done (or something like that) and then i get a green screen (see the photo I have attached here). after that i made this post and the friend Tribulattifather (member of the site here) helped me with some info and gave me some files to try and install but the first file gave me this message
"error 300: INVALID UPDATE TOOL.
THIS UPDATE UTILLITY CANNOT BE USED FOR YOUR PDA PHONE. PLEASE GET NEWER UPDATE UTILITY."
and the other gave me
"Error 244: Invalid model id.".
there isn't something else. any idea?
thank you.
what is your spl number and ipl....
did you do the HARDSPL on your phone????
do the hardspl first and then flash your phone using a micro sd....
tell me if you already did that.... i will wait for your reply....
i also want to know if you dropped it or something before it went like that.... plz tell me the whole history of your phone....
to my perspective, the phone's problem can be resolve in flashing....
tell me if you hardspl it,,,, because you cant flash it on some ROMS if it's not HARDSPLed...
hi [email protected] i had a problem with my internet that's way I answer now after all that time. I droped it a couple of times by accident but that is a long time ago. the IPL is 4.17.0001 ans SPL 4.17.0000. i never did anything like hardspl. i changed the flex cable 5 months ago. when i first got the phone 5 years ago it had WM5 and after 5 months when i bought it I got WM6 at service. i never got the phone to service cause never anything happen. i can't remember anything else know.
I have an update for my device. now it doesn't open with anything. i mean i can open it to hard reset or to see the spl. it doesn't respont to anything.
May be time to put the phone to rest, mate u.u
I'll play the taps..
