[Q] Need help for instal custom rom - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, im a new user, and i tried to instal custom rom by watching video guide of installing a custom rom, and i followed it very carfully. However, once i got to the part where i pasted the nbh file from my pc to my storage card. removed the usb cable. turned off my phone and then got to the tri color bootloader screen it says " no image file found" can someone help me please?

Which ROM you tried to flash??

for sd-method to work, the img-file needs to be named "kovsimg.nbh" (without the ""), otherwise bootloader won't recognize it. make sure it's named that way and check if you're able to see file-extensions (if not it could be "kovsimg.nbh.nbh").

I try to flash Dynamics_GTX_2.2.0_WWE rom when I failed I tried to flash 6.5_V4.0F because I thought maybe something is wrong with Dynamics rom or maybe I do something wrong. I instaled 0.78.OliNex Hard-SPL. I change rom name to kovsimg.nbh but it still write that "No image gile"
P.S. Sorry for my bad english

Maybe you need to reformat your SD card to FAT32 again, after that put the kovsimg.nbh to the SD card and try again, I face this problem before but after I reformat the SD card, it works..

Image file not being recognized [HardSPL installed and confirmed]

After all of my other problems... HardSPL is finally on correctly and I checked.
I have Kovsimg.nbh on my FAT 32 microSDHC card. I got to bootloader, saw OliNex whatever. It goes to loading. Then "Image not found!"
Had this problem before with official ROMs as well... Had to use SEUS.
What the hell is the problem with this?
My USB port has been unreliable so far, so I dont want to chance using CustomRUU (I dont know how to use it anyway).

Custom RUU is easy. Just leave your phone on and plugged into the USB. Make sure you have the image file renamed to RUU_signed.nbh. Start Custom RUU. Follow the steps in Custom RUU. And Voila! It turns the phone into the Boot Loader automatically and you can watch the progress on your monitor. I use it all the time. I don't like to copy everything off my SD card onto the HDD and I don't have a spare SD card to leave the SD card blank with only the image file.
You don't have to copy everything off your sd card, just put Kovsimg.nbh in the root of your card and everything is good to go.
Copy your .nbh file to the root of your sd card and rename it to Kovsimg.nbh.
Boot phone with holding : vol down + power keys until the color screen appears.
it should find the image now, else use ruu on a friends pc.
remember to active sync first...
regards
I dont have a Kingston card, but maybe I'll try using my Corsair 512mb microSD later today.
My main problem with CustomRUU is that the USB connection to my phone isnt stable. What would happen if it suddenly DC'd?
EDIT: Ahah, so using my Corsair card instead of my A-Data card works.

You have had problems with the USB Connection to your X1 before? Then dont flash via USB / Custom RUU. Thats really too risky then.
It first flashes the Bootsector and a few other things, then begins with the OS parts. If the connection is cancelled while flashing the Bootsector etc. you may get some serious problems as your device wont boot anymore (search for putty btw. if this happens to you).
When there is an Error while the OS is updating you can flash again. I had this once with a non-clear sdcard that the installation did not go over 99%. A reflash with a clear card worked without problems.

Urgent help needed :(

I have had my g1 for about a year now and I rooted it a few months ago. I've been trying to update the rom but everytime I try to format the sd card on my pc it says no disk found in drive F. I have tried it on other computers. I tried it via usb and a card reader. When I put update.zip into the root folder it says it cant find it. Please someone help! I need my phone to be amazing again!
Is the card formatted in Fat32?
Yeah its formatted to Fat32
you have to assign the a sd card a drive letter.
assign the sd card a drive letter.
How do I do this?
Well I just assigned it a letter and the same thing happens. I really am stuck.
What are you trying to update from? What update are you trying to apply? What recovery are you using? Do you have a file manager on your phone like androzip? If you can answer some questions, you may have a few workarounds....

You could try doin it with your phone (since you said you're rooted) using recovery
If you're using Cyanogen's recovery there's a good guide on androidandme.com
http://bit.ly/61CXFo
If you're using Amon_Ra's recovery I think it's automated, I've never used it before but from what I understand the you have the option to do it from the recovery menu
I'm currently running cyanogen mod 4.1.11.1 I'm not sure of the recovery image and I am trying to update to the next version of cyanogen. I think it might be a problem with my phone :S I really dont know. I have looked online and nothing seems to work I can put any update onto the sd card but when I try to update on my phone it says the file doesnt exist
it should say what recovery you are using in the recovery screen.
connect to wifi spot, download the new amon ra recovery, and move it from the download folder to the root of the sdcard using androzip (from the market).
follow the steps to flash the new recovery in the amon thread.
the next steps from there are up to you.....you can try to repartion your card using the menu option in recovery and then try to mount your g1 to your computer in the recovery menu. the recovery will allow you to choose what size partitions you want (fat32, ext, and swap) and do all of it for you. very handy.
once you get it to mount to your computer, you're in business.
if you think your card is ok as is, you could always download the htc file and cm4.2.6 directly to your g1, move them from download folder to sd root, wipe everything and flash.
either way, if you run into problems with your card, you maybe without phone until you get a good card.
good luck
Hey thanks for the great replies. Still no luck though I downloaded the amon ra recovery image and did what it said but when on the terminal emulator I type mount -a and it says 'mounting /dev/block/mmcb1k0p2 om /system/sd failed: no such file or directory'
Bump! PLEASE HELP ME

Flashing Stock Rom

Hey , i used to know a lot about the xperia, roms, flashing, but after flashing roms for a very long while, i forgot a lot.
So, this may be a bad question but, how would i flash my stock rom?
When i do so, and go into bootloader mode, it says "No Image File"....
what did i do wrong, and what must i do? im pretty sure i renamed the rom to "kovsimg.nbh".
are you using Kingston memory card.
if so it wont boot from card, flash using PC method.
Peoples (including me) reported to have problem with Kingston card.
Also make sure you image name is KOVSIMG.nbh on the card (re-name it if you have to)
Mod edit: not dev related, moved to general
is your problem already solved with the help you received or does it still persist?
thoughts...
take a backup of things stored in memory card, format it and then paste in it kovsimg.nbh
or maybe the downloaded file is corrupt?
btw I always use nbh with small letters and not caps and never had an issue...

is my phone broken?

hello i am having problems with flashing a custom ROM. I've formatted a micro sd its 2GB. Then I added the ROM file, renamed it to kovsimg.nbh and started the phone as stated (by pressing the vol down button). Then the tri colour screen pops up then a quick screen comes which says no image path I have also... installed the hard spl thingy. Where am I going wrong? Please help !!!all want is reinsstal my xperia x-1 a new windows 6.1 how i can do this plz help my phone is give me this alert SİMCARD NOT İNSERTED'' Plz help me
Do you have press and hold the vol down and the power until the screen show"loading"???
i did bur it says no image ...what i can do?
Says no image??I don't have this problem...so I can't help you,sorry...
Hello you're not alone in the dark
My Xperia do it in the same way. So i hope we will get an answer.
Additional i have problems to use the Internet yet. After receiving a config SMS the applications which are using internetdata didn't get some. The connecting to provider or wifi seem OK but no data for the application.
Provided the card is read, make sure you formatted your card properly with FAT32 and placed renamed ROM file into the ROOT.
It's possible to read the card (after booting the phone). The card is Fat32 fomatted and the imagename is set. But it's not only the problem to flash using the CD-card. Also trying by using the sync-methode will fail. I get the splashscreen with the bar showing the percentage. In the state of 0% i get an error message. No recovery is needed, but i never get the phone flashed.
My problems is exackly the same
If it doesn't work use the USB method, it always works.
Hi VingZTV,
You're wrong please read my post #7 in this thread.
I called it sync method, cause you are using active sync.

I encountered this problem too. My present X1 (3rd already) refused to hardSPL or do anything with both PC (stucked at 0%, connection errors etc) and SD method ("no image file" later stuck at "loading"). Previous ones worked with either SD or PC method
This time I tried different cables and PCs and couldn't hardSPL
nor was the SD card method working, tried different cards and formatted one to fat32 before putting image file
it seems the problem might be on X1's where SPL is stock 0.78 ?
Anyways for me it worked finally when I tried hardSPL with RUU to 0.52olinex ("X1_HardSPL.exe" file) on a different PC and cable with a formatted card inserted where 0.78olinex was renamed to kovsimg.nbh (so ready to flash hardSPL with SD method which didn't work befere). The phone was set to bootloader by the program and then started flashing the image on the SD! (the program reported error as usual)
phone flashed it once, restarted, did it again and was ready!
Then I had no problem to flash a ROM with SD method normally
So I don't know what could be the reason it worked or it was a coincidence maybe try to:
WARNING: AS ALWAYS YOU DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!
- insert a freshly formatted card with hardSPL file (0.78olinex perhaps) renamed to kovsimg.nbh
- sync with PC and try to hardspl PC way like above and maybe the phone will finally flash the SPL from the SD
- let us know if it worked
It still doesn't work
I used 128m microSD and formated to FAT32, only copy 0.78RUU_Signed.nbh to SD card, renamed to kovsimg.nbh. After I used VOL- and power bottom. It only showed me loading.....
I also tried 0.72, looks same. DID I do some thing wrong?
Thank you very for any response!

Try the way described above by me (leave the card with the image and use X1_HardSPL.exe to try to change SPL and so force phone to bootloader mode)

[Q] sd card wont mount

Hello all,
Trying to restore my sd card to working order and im kinda stumped.Ive googled the problem and cant seem to get anything to work.
This happened after flashing cm6 blue rom and this was the first rom ive ever flashed. I used the universal androot method to root and rom manager to flash the rom. The rom works beautifully and I was able to go into recovery and flash ggaps even though phone isnt mounting to sd card.When I go to sd card in settings and click mount it say preparing sd card and then reverts back to safe to remove sd card. Any help would be great! thanks
Take the card out and Wen ur phone is on pull the battey out wait a few min reboot the phone back up with out then repeat this again this time wen the battery is out put the SD card back in reboot in recovery the home and power button way then wipe file ext and reboot might work might not worth a try

Do you have a SD card reader in your PC? Have you tried taking the SD card out of your phone, putting it into your PC, and formatting it? Copy everything that's on it to your desktop first, then format it, then recopy the files back to the card after the format. Then try putting it back in your phone. That may solve your problem.
Also , if you're recovery is reading it to flash gapps, then it may be the rom install. If all else fails, try a compete wipe and reflash
