Returning To Stock ROM/SPL withough USB?!?!?

Hi guys, got a problem here. Need to return my HTC Touch HD for warrant purposes, basically the USB connection doesnt work - it charges but nothing else, 3 PC's and 3 leads wont even acknowledge that its connected to a pc (yet it charges?!?).
To return it, i need to restore standard ROM and SPL but obviously because of the problem i cant connect it to a pc to flash!!
Any ideas appreciated!!

If you got HSPL you can copy the blacimg.nbh on sd card and let the bootloader flash.
Im not sure but i think it should be possible with non hspl if you flash a stock rom because spl/ipl are included to shipped roms.

As already said, you can flash the stock rom from your SD card, by copying the .nbh file into the root directory of your SD card and renaming it BLAC_IMG.nbh. Power device off, press and hold the volume down key, and press the power button to get into bootloader. The image file will be shown on the screen - just follow the instructions.
However, this will not flash the SPL as HSPL is protected from being overwritten. Not sure how you can get around this one without being able to use USB.

According to the HSPL thread, the HSPL is protected to be overwritten, so flashing SPL without the restoration pack in HSPL thread should not work.
I recommend you back up all your data and do a Hard Reset, then try to sync with your PC.
If it still not work, eject your SD card and try power on your phone while holding VolDown, this will enter the bootloader (tri-color screen). Connect the USB cradle, when the bottom of the screen shows "USB" instead of "Serial", launch the Stock-SPL restoration pack from the HSPL thread and follow the instructions.

Tried this but it still showed 'Serial' after i connected the USB lead!
Using the SD card method im gonna be able to get a stock ROM back on there so thats a start!
I've got HSPL not USPL
Anyone know how strict HTC UK are at checking warranty returns?

More issues!!! I cant even use the SD Card method, i formatted my card and copied BLACIMG/BLAC_IMG (2 guides named the file differently) to the root of the card, when i go to boot loader it says image not found. WTF???

The file must be named BLACIMG.nbh. Furthermore it seems that some cards don't work, so maybe you have bad luck .
But, as already said, this doesn't help you at all, as you need to restore the SPL, too, which isn't possible without an USB connection.

what was the outcome re your phone?

Usb Problem

hi guys/gals
I'm trying to flash a rom onto my phone but as it gets to the stage where the multi colour screen pops up windows tell me that its an unrecognised device
'the device has malfunctioned and windows does not recognise it'
where the phone usually displays 'usb' is just blank, it changes to serial when the cables disconnected but when reconnected it remains as serial.
I've flashed my phone before with out any issues and I've tried to flash it via the sd card but I'm not 100% sure that I'm doing it correctly, I've renamed the file to Blacimg.nbh booted the phone into the colour screen thing and thats as far as it goes, I think because it doesn't display 'usb' I can't get any further.
I've tried to do it on several machines and get the same problem
are there any other ways I can flash my phone that dont require the cable as I'm fairly sure that theres a problem with the phone.
more info:
rom I have at the moment: Kwbr Topix 2.6.1
rom I am trying to install: Xannytech ROM Grid LEO 1.5
I have tried to update the drivers - it says the file doesn't have any information about my device.
active sync works, I can transfer files and the phone is recognised in device manager just not while in the colour screen mode
just to clarify, I'm looking for a way to install a rom that doesn't require the 'usb' screen or a solution to the problem of the missing usb screen would be nice too.
I have searched but I couldn't find anything relevant.
thanks in advance.

If you had searched you would have realised that most chef's (including kwbr) provide instructions on how to flash roms using 2 different methods. USB or SD Card.
I just taken about 20 seconds to locate one of Kwbr's rom threads and on his 2nd post he actually states how to flash using SD Card method.
i.e.
Q: I am having problems flashing the rom with CustomRUU.exe. Can I flash in another way?
You can try the official RUU for Blackstone to flash. Also flashing from SD card is an option. To flash from SD just rename ruu_signed.nbh to BLACIMG.nbh, copy it to the root of your SD card, and flash the rom from the tri-color screen by pressing the power button.

once at that final screen,
plug in usb
once your computer has installed drivers, it will say usb instead of serial at the bottom of the phones screen.
try flashing again,if that fails try a different rom or redownload, its not bricked your at bootloader
if you still struggle use the search feature of this site, you will find everything you need
cheers steve

or try flash using SD card
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
cheers

Pheeew thats a relief panic mode off now
Thanks rosebud and indra9110 for your fast replies, I got it working rosebud's way.
I downloaded the rom again and it works perfect now,
I've also got iskoot working (which was NOT working on the vodaphone 6.1 rom)
Thanks again guys

Glad to hear your phone has come back to life

Messed up device after bad flash

I messed up my device after cooking a defective rom "I confused some folders", and now my phone stays at the sony ericsson logo.
I don't have and mmc reader in order to put a rom on it.....Can I flash the x1 through the pc on the bootloader screen??
I never do this but this time I'd really appreciate a quick response

Yes you can do it
I had to do it several times when my PC shutdown during flash...

how plz ??....cuz i read how to flash using pc with the update utility but it seems I must first connect through activesync....tell me how you do it plz

Hold the power button down and the volume down button at the same time you will see tri-colored screen...plug into computer run customruu follow prompts...
Regards,
WC

1-put customRUU and your rom file in the same folder on your PC
2-launch customRUU
3-put your phone on tricolor screen
4-connect your phone to your PC with the USB cable (your phone should displau "USB")
5-follow the instructions in customRUU
It is the same way that you use when you flash with activesync but this time you put your phone on tricolor screen yourself

just put your device in bootloader mode, then connect to PC, the device can identify serial or usb connection in bootloader mode.

Thanks soooooo much everybody, damn I adore this community......
This will help a lot in the future as i get to cook more and more and risk the bricking every time, thanks !!

[Q] HELP: Stuck in bootloader or no USB

Hi All,
from one moment to another my X1 decided to boot into bootloader mode.
The strange thing is however, that when I connect it to the USB of my PC and reset the X1, it boots normally. Well, almost normal as the USB doesn't seem to be working.
I flashed the rom to APP-SW_X1_GENERIC_UK_1213-6450_R3AA010__KOVS using the SDCard and that worked without a problem. But still the X1 boots into bootloader mode (except when connected to the PC).
I tried a hardreset, pressed the volume down button several times (to make sure it isn't stuck), tried to use MTTY (but that doesn't show a prompt), but nothing seems to help.
Is there anyone who can help me with this, because I'm out of ideas....
Update:
I managed to boot the OS (USB connected) and install HSPL using Xperia-SSPL-Manual. This succeeded and I now have SPL-0.78.OliNext. I flashed the phone to a new ROM (826x_KOVSKY_29017_2021), and that succeeded as well. It didn't solve my problem however. I still get the bootloader screen when I start the phone and can only start the OS by starting with USB connected...
Update2:
Yesterday evening I took the whole phone apart to make sure no buttons are/were stuck. Didn't find anything, put it back together and it still boots into bootloader.
I also managed to get a connection to the phone using NueTTY. I executed command Set 14 0, restarted the phone...and still it boots into bootloader.
If there is any one who knows of something that I haven't tried yet, PLEASE let me know....

same problem,,if there's a way to flash recovery from sd card in fastboot mode,,that'd be great

Flashing the ROM is no problem, I can put every ROM on it that I like. But even after flashing the ROM the phone still starts in bootloader....

You can try to go into the bootloader on ur pc and use recovery.bat with fastboot.

hi, I'm kind of having the same issue as you do..can you please be of help and tell me how did you manage to HSPL it to 0.78.OliNex?
Correct me If I am wrong, but you must copy Xpera_SSPL_Manual. exe on X1, run it from file explorer and then run X1_HardSPL.exe on your PC, whlie X1 is connected via usb (although mine also doesn't recognize the X1) ?
i would really apreciate it... thnx

i have the same problem guys, did anyone of you found any solution for this?

same problem
Have you tried to do a task29 with KovskyAdvancedRUU?
