Hello to everyone,
i have a problem with flashing.
First i had a WM2003 OS on the T-Mobile MDA. Then i tried to flash the WM2003SE with a romkitchen rom.exe over active sync.
The whole upgrade process worked well, but now it don't boots.
The booting procedure hangs on the welcome screen.
Now i am trying to flash a PPC2002 OS with SD Solution. (Because i have no activesync connection)
I have downloaded a *.nb1 rom from romkitchen and make copied it to SD with OS Image Tool.
But i don't know what to do now. When i insert the SD in the PPC it says only "The Card is not readable do you want to format it".
PLZ help!
Best regards
Andy
never heard about the bootloader saying that only a device saying it when it's booted into wm???
one way you can verify that the rom is flashed to the sdcard using the tool
the pc is no longer able to read the card
so that way you can verify that you did it correctly
Well, i did it by the same way (yesterday) ok, we can say you already have your SD card with your ROM ready for the instalation, so your put your SD car inside, then press the power button on top and press the hard reset button (you know it's down the earphones hole) it will apears the bootloader screen and the it will says press action to start or recort to exit, press the action button and it will start to donwload, it will finish saing COOLD RESET and something like that, take out your SD CARD and make a soft reset (the little hole at the other side of the hard reset) and that's it !!! i hope so jejejej let me know
thanx a lot. This worked for me!!

How to Repair dead wallaby without boot. (Probably dead during rom update cause of low battery).
Now the set cant enter boot mode. When Connecting charger the Yellow led light up and thats the only sign that tells me it still have some life left in it.
I need some experts help in this matter.
same problem
I tried to hard reset my XDAIIs to reinstall every thing as normal.
But I was stuck with a boot lock! the screen just stays withought loading the OS.
I tried to get the lates update from www.my-xda.com, install it succesfully, but still .. looked at boot!!!
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
I had a similar problem in that there was an error during flashing. With the expert help of Lumpistefan, I was able to revive my dead Wallaby!! If you can get to the bootloader screen and it says GSM ok, I believe you can save it. You have to download XDATools as well as the ROM version you want to run. (I chose the special developers ROM as it had the auto sim unlock feature during cold boot). Once you have the ROM saved somwhere on your PC then you open the XDA tools (OSI Image tool) and use the .NB or .NB1 file as your source and select your SD card as the destination. Select copy. Once the files have been copied insert the SD card into your wallaby perform a soft reset (power button+soft reset button) and if everything went well you will be prompted to upload the rom. press the action button or center of the key and you should be good to go. Hope this helps and once again very, very special thanks to Lumpistefan for his patience and help!!

hello..do you have any idea how can I pass the error 1% when I'm upgrading the RS?
As I see, there's no answer to this problem yet.
Yesterday I fell in the same case!
Please, somebody say something hopefully!
when i use RUU it comes up with this error and stops at 4% of the instalation.
when i try to flash the .nbh (any) file from the phone by holding the camera button when turning on, Herald freezes on the tricolor (red green blue) screen. it says.
IPL 4.17.0001
SPL 4.70.Yang
Dont know what to do, i must have done something wrong
Which ROMs have you tried? Some ROMs can only be flashed from an SD card because even the HardSPL requires at least 50mb (51200kb) to flash through ActiveSync.
be happy... when it shows 4.70.yang....
you can flash any rom.... but not one with wrong size..
hihihi
I had the same problem when i tried flashing a rom with herald uspl when it was actually supposed to be installed on sd. If it is meant to be installed by sd you need to fat 32 format your sd card and put nothing but the .nbh file on there, put it in your phone and then hold down the camera button and use your stylus to push the soft reset while still holding the cam button. It should then recognize the rom and you will be able to start flashing. If it just sits at the bootloader screen (rainbow screen) dont freak out just reset your device again, if that happens you may have a corrupt file.
Was this rom by chance open touch 4.0 micro? Because I had that problem also and I cannot figure it out.
I've tried Just2Clean and Open Touch v4.0 WM 6.1 both thru RUU and from SD card. had no luck in both cases. i really wanna have J2C tho.
Gonna try formating the SD and will report back. Regards
J2C has to be done through the SD card. Like armyboi4id said, fFormat the card to FAT32, place the HERAIMG.nbh on the SD card, press and hold the camera button and then press the soft reset with the stylus. When it comes up to press something to flash, press the volume down key. And just wait until it says that it's done.
ok, i've got J2C image on the sd card and nothing else. it is fat32, i press the camera button, reset it, then the tricolor screen. and that is it.
now i got two questions jsut to be sure. when do i release the camera button? and how long do i have to wait before the tricolor screen changes to anything else?

what's the correct size?
release the camera button when the bootloader comes up. it should recognize the sd card and .nbh almost immediately and go to a white screen.
Just hold the camera button until you see it saying "reading."
Again, like armyboi4id said.
The correct size is 50mb (51200kb) as I said.
aight, i reverted back to shipped wm6 and then flashed Open Touch 4.0 without Hard SPLing the device and it worked. maybe i wasnt supposed to hardspl it in the first place lol.
Thanks a lot for all the replies and all your help guys

Have you CID unlocked the phone already with USPL or HSPL? That would be the first step, and might be the problem.

Have you hardSPL'd your phone before?
If not you will have to flash a generic rom via microSD method (or put your phone into boot loader mode and connect via usb) and then hard spl your phone.
If you have already hardSPL'd your phone, reflash the rom using microSD method.

Recovering from a bad flash
If you have forgotten to hardspl your x1 before flashing a rom or are getting an error when attempting to flash a rom (260-262) and can not get your x1 to boot then this might help:
1. Take the MicroSD card out of your phone and put it in to a MicroSD to SD card converter and insert it to your card reader.
2. Format the MicroSD card in to FAT32 format.
3. Download this ROM
4. Extract the .ZIP file and rename the .NBH file to 'kovsimg.nbh'
4. Copy this file to the freshly formatted MicroSD card (VISTA OR XP THIS DOESNT MATTER FOR THIS)
5. Take the memory card out of your PC/Laptop and place it back in to your Xperia
6. Remove the battery and replace it after 5 seconds. (dont replace the back cover)
7. The press the Volume Down key located on the right hand side of the phone and the power key keep them both pressed and then with the stylus press and hold down the reset button for three seconds.
8. You will then be presented with a Tri-Colour screen to begin with then the bootloader will load the kovsimg.nbh file.
9. Once loaded follow the on-screen instructions and your done, be patient the process does take a while about 10mins in total, BUT DO ENSURE YOU HAVE YOUR PHONE ON CHARGE, you dont want the power to die on you half way through, it would just be a waste of time.
N.B. HARD-SPL WILL ONLY LOAD ONCE YOU HAVE A WORKING IMAGE ON THE PHONE!!!! FROM THE SPL 0.72.0000 version.
awww man, x1fan, YOU'RE the one who "broke" it?!
let me know of the instructions above helped you out...
Cheers for all your help with this guys, all it needed in the end was a hard reset and some time to warm up i think, all is good as gold now..apart from the fact that it goes to xpanel screen prior to loading the home screen but the procedure above worked a treat so thank you all....YET AGAIN lol

thank you jeremy,
I tried this method but it didn't work.
first i get the SD card and format it using windows (i tried both FAT, FAT32)
then extract the .nbh file from this package RUU_Elf_DOPOD_AU_1.14.710.2_4.1.13.46_02.97.90_BLUE_Ship.exe,
then i renamed it to ELF0IMG.nbh copied it to the root of SD card, then put the SD card in my device,
push and hold camera button and push the power button then the colored screen appeared but nothing happened. i tried also press and hold camera button then soft reset using stylus but it didn't work.
am i doing something wrong
Sorry i tired you
It should work.
It should say like ' do you want to flash your phone ' , press the power key to continue..
mmm, have you CID unlocked your phone?
have you tried flashing your phone?
how can i do that "CID unlock" ?
Go to the elf-upgrading forums and flash your ipl and spl to 3.10.
Cheers.
Can you start your phone in the first place?
no I cannot start my phone. it just freeze on the colored screen
