Ive just installed V10.2 ROM and im stuck on the Sony Ercisson Screen...what now?

You can always do a reflash with microsd method so don't worry

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.
EDIT: from http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/?tag=xperia_guide_roms
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

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
my Polaris SPL-1.52.0000

thx for your answer,the same ,ERROR 262
try replacing the data cable and reinstalling the activesync;
then enter bootloader
see that you get "usb" and then try to upgrade.
first thing i would do is reinstall the activesync (sometimes bad drivers get registered in windows)

Did you follow instructions and unplugged and then replugged your Polaris when it told you to on the bootscreen?
operating system?
do you use windows XP? if vista you should try on XP..
Remove your SD card before flashing !
Unplug and replug your device when you see 'Replug device'
thanks you !!my computer is xp,i have three data cable,none works!enter bootloader or Remove SD card doesn't works too!
Now i'm try to reinstall my computer system......god bles me!

Well, this
- Get a MicroSD card that is formatted as Fat32. The card must be formatted as Fat32 otherwise it will not work. It doesn't need to be blank or freshly formatted (but it wont hurt if it is)
- Find the ROM image you would like to use, normally named RUU_Signed.nbh, and rename it to "POLAIMG.nbh". Depending on the source of your ROM file, it may not be named RUU_Signed.nbh, but just rename the nbh file you obtained to POLAIMG.nbh
- Copy the file POLAIMG.nbh to the root of your microSD card
- Plug the card into the phone, then enter boot loader mode by pressing down the Camera button, then using the stylus, press and hold the RESET button at the bottom of the phone. Release both buttons once the bootloader screen appears.
- You will first see a tri-color screen then the information on the card. Press power button to start flashing.
- After all these are done, press the reset button located at the bottom of the phone to reset the device.
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!!
I was trying to upgrade my ROM to windows 6.1, and something wrong happened.
the update software hangs up on 0% also in my phone, form more than hour.

This might help.

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
My phone refuses to boot winmo, it just gets stuck at a white screen (Its worked fine for 6 months, and decided to die today -_-)
So, I want it fixed!
But....
It will boot to the tricolour whatsit so it clearly shows 'coutullaHSPL'
But everytime I try to restore the stock Radio, or ROM is fails.
With the words :
"LEOIMG.nbh - FAIL" and "update terminate UPDATE FAIL"
In red writing.
Which is something, after over a year of doing this stuff on my HD2 alone I have never had happen to me.
So I cant take the phone back to stock, so no warranty!
So what can I do from here? Put her in the microwave so she wont turn on at all?

Tried it, and nothing! I've tried 3 different official roms now
When you are in Bootloader mode and your USB cable is plugged in what does the screen say at the bottom line ? Serial or USB ?
If you can see USB its all right. So take HSPL2 and run it, after that perform task29. Then try to flash customROM.
This is how it worked for me.

Serial
Sometimes it says neither!
actually had the same problem, its the problem with the sd card, what you can do is reformat it then redownload the rom and try again, should work.
Luckych
did you try copy leoimg to your sd card then boot the phone ?
u use T-Mobile stock rom?
Serial
Sometimes it says neither!

What´s your operating system ?
I´m using Windows 7 so i dont´t have the trouble to install the right USB driver´s...
If your device says "serial" there must be a porblem with the drivers... It has to show you "USB". Only then you will be able to flash it directly over your USB cable and CustomRUU...
@OP.
If this thread turns into another of your "how can I brick my phone" threads, it will be closed too.
Fix the phone, or return it legitimately. Stop asking for help to commit warranty fraud.

It was news to me it was illegal, considering the amount of people (including staff!) who tell you to smash up your laptop to get a new one lol.
I explained that to another mod.
Sorry about that.
Well if anyone has any help on a fix, i'd be grateful!

I would do the following to get your device up and running again legitimately:
1. Take SD card out of device, insert into Card reader and then PC.
2. Download from HTC's offical website Stock ROM 1.66 (or even 1.43) with your S/N
3. Extract this RUU.....exe file to your desktop with 7-zip or Powerarchiver.
4. Rename custom.nbh to leoimg.nbh
5. Check if your SD card is not corrupt or damaged
6. If not, then copy leoimg.nbh to the root of your SD card
7. Remove SD card from PC and reinsert in the powered off device, which is not connected to your PC.
8. Press and hold vol down button and then shortly press on/off button. You should then enter bootloader screen and 1.66 will be automatically installed on your device.
9. At the end of the procedure there should be a message: installation succesfully. If yes, press the little red button beneath the battery to perform a soft reset or remove battery, wait 10-15 secs and reinsert battery and push the on/off button.
10. When the phone has booted up correctly after the SR, perform for extra security a hard reset.
When all goes as it should, you will have the the official 1.66 HTC ROM on your device.
Good luck and regards, Kuzibri
