There is no problem with your BA. Try to do the setup again...
NOW....
Before you upgrade your BA keep this is mind...it's a warning...a WARNING so you will not sue xda-dev or any BA ROM cooker if something BAD happens to your BA. But don't worry 1 out of 1000 BA owners brick their BA while upgrading. Because they upgrade their BA with 10% battery life. Where did I get the 1 out of 1000 statistics? Just a guess..a wild guess but it's near to reality
WARNING
IF YOU PROCEED, YOU MAY TOAST YOUR PHONE. THERE'S NO COMEBACK. THERE'S NO GETTING ROUND THIS. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST OTHERWISE YOU'LL PROBABLY BREAK YOUR PHONE PERMANENTLY. THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? DO YOu? ANSWER ME YOU...lol

- Download unlocker.cab DOWNLOAD HERE
- Download Repart_Doc.exe DOWNLOAD HERE
- Place both of them somewhere on your Pocket PC. For example in \temp but anywhere is fine. All the command below are to be executed on your Pocket PC, not on your PC.
- Install xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB by tapping on it in filemanger (from the directory where you put it earlier)
- Then go to start -> Programs -> ExtROM tools -> then first run "unhide", then "Unlock".
- Do a soft reset. (you know how to do a SR, right?)
- Once your Pocket PC is restarted, locate the Repart_DOC.exe file with your filemanager and start it.
- Set the size of Extended ROM to 128 kb (which is already the default).
- Press "Format now!" and wait until it is done (A few seconds). You will see a message that it is done. (You will get an error message about your storage, just press yes and wait a few seconds.)
- Soft reset your Pocket PC.
NOW YOU ARE DONE WITH THE FIRST PART AND I HOPE I AM MAKING IT EASY FOR YOU AND FOR EVERYONE.
Now, I RECOMMEND you to use Windows XP and of course Active Sync 4.5.
NOTE: Do a hard reset first
Doing a hardreset is easy if you have 3 hands - push your stylus at the softreset hole and then as soon as you see the Strips
hold Camera and Record
Then you will be a debugger screen

1. Download the BA ROM that you desired. It can be WM6, WM6.1 or WM6.5 and you can find all the download links of this ROMs on our BA wiki (and I am the one who updated that and put those links.)
2. Save that ROM on your computer. (anywhere will do) If it is zipped or rar, then unzip it or unrar it.
Here are the files that should be inside that ROM folder (well this are the files that I have every time I flash my BA, just correct me guys if some of this are not really needed):
EnterBL.exe
GetDeviceData.exe
HTCRUU.dll
RUU.dll
BaUpgradeUt.exe
MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
HTCRUU.conf
RUU.conf
vbscript.dll
nk.nbf
SetOperator.bat
3. Temporarily remove your SD Card (it may work for you with the SD card still in your BA, but you may not be able to enter USB mode when cradled).
Just remove your SD Card from you BA and the SIM card too just to make sure.
4. Put your device into Bootloader mode by pressing and holding the "Power" & "Record" buttons, and then press the Reset Button. Ooops before I forgot make sure you do a Hard Reset on your BA first.
Press and hold the "Power" & "Record" buttons, and then press the Reset Button until “Serial” shows on screen.
(Some BlueAngel shows "Serial" at the top and "V2.07" at the bottom.)
NOTE: The screen will not be backlit, so it may appear the phone is not in bootloader mode.
Look carefully.
When the USB sync cable is inserted into the phone and the computer, "Serial" will change to "USB", provided that the phone detects the connection.
5. Connect the phone to the sync cable/cradle.
7. Now you can execute the installer file. (BaUpgradeUt.exe or MaUpgradeUt.exe) You will see this window:
8. When the upgrade is completed, you must perform a Hard Reset.
When the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, wait more, you are booting. The welcome screen to set up your device will appear shortly ...

thanks but there is a problem i have no acces to ppc from my computer & actvivesync dont localize it.

try THIS method, there is no need to reflash, you canceled the hard reset and now the things are f***ed up. so if another button hard reset does not help then MTTY method is your only hope

i did what the tutorial says but when mtthy i don't know wht to do cuz it don't correspond whit the tutorial

thanks but the first time i did the upgrade i started directly instaling the rom & i didn't do the previous steps in the PPC maybe tha's why, i can't no longger than the white screen is it possible??

WTF you use autodownload for ?
execute the listed commands only, then reset and then reflash the rom you want, it is that simple, and everything is covered in WIKI with a WIZARD
it is explained very well there, just don't skip any step and you will be all right

thanks xplode it worked & thank to u all

glad it helped

[ROM+HSPL]HTC Quartz - Max 4G, RUS/WWE ROM and long waited HardSPL

[ROM+HSPL]HTC Quartz - Max 4G, RUS/WWE ROM and long waited HardSPL
This is the first custom stuff for this rare device. The biggest thanks goes to Mr cmonex and Olipro
Here we go......
Preparations:
0) this package is for Quartz devices only. for QUAR100 so far (SSPL loader checks this, you will get a warning),
if your ModelID is different ask in thread for help.
1) make sure you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6&DisplayLang=en
2) if you have vista, WMDC update is recommended: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
Instructions:
read this if unsure how to install Hard-SPL...
1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment (Quartz_HSPLWrapper_v1.zip), extract to an empty folder.
2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!!!
3) run Quartz_HSPLWrapper.exe on PC, make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.). if you are on vista, launching as Administrator is strongly recommended,
4) follow steps in the RUU, check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar, press Yes on phone if asked. please answer with Yes as fast as you can!
5) some notes: when RUU says it will hard reset, do not worry, it is not going to do that. also when it says the flash will take 10 minutes, ignore that, it will only take a minute or so.
6) device should go to a tricolour screen now that says 0.45-C.SSPL, this is the SSPL version, which is temporary.
7) HardSPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
8) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 0.45.cmonex, which is the Hard-SPL version.
NOTE: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!
to enter SPL to check version: from powered off state, hold volume up and down keys, while holding power button until you see tricolour screen.
NOTE 2: anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy Quar-SSPL-Manual.exe from Quar-SSPL-Manual.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is showing 0.45-C.SSPL, run RUU manually. i.e. you launch the Hard-SPL RUU (Quartz_HSPLWrapper.exe) on the PC and flash.
NOTE 3: this is unsigned Hard-SPL. no limitations on flashing ROMs. also, this has overwrite protection against HTC RUU's overwriting HSPL with a stock one, so if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, a stock SPL downgrade package is posted in this post as well. use this relocker *only* if you need to return the phone for warranty, and only use it as last step - after reflashing stock OS and radio. see steps at the end of this post about how to reflash stock SPL.
NOTE 4: do not use this RUU for anything other than SPL flashing (only for hardspl flash or stock spl restore)!!! nothing other than SPL's released here (using OliNex custom cert, which is not public) will flash to make SSPL more secure. if you want to flash some other rom, then use shipped RUU or customRUU if you need to flash cooked ROM.
Troubleshooting:
- read the instructions above.
- read the instructions above.
- read the instructions above.
-- ModelID checking:
if SSPL loader says it's for a different device but you definitely have a Quartz, please ask in thread for contacting cmonex for testing SPL on that too. check modelid by entering SPL tricolour screen manually and note what it says (QUAR100, or something else).
-- nothing happens on the device, does not enter tricolour screen mode:
anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please make sure you watch the device screen if it asks about running files. also try unchecking advanced usb functionality in settings.
if still problems, please copy Quar-SSPL-Manual.exe from Quar-SSPL-Manual.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is showing 0.45-C.SSPL, run RUU manually. i.e. you launch the Hard-SPL RUU (Quartz_HSPLWrapper.exe) on the PC and flash.
-- general usb connection error problems if you get connection error in RUU after the device goes to 0.45-C.SSPL screen:
- try a different USB port
- try different USB cable
- do not touch USB cable during the process especially if it is already a bit dodgy
- also do not use USB hub
- you can also try rebooting your PC
- and you can try using another PC.
- also you can try unticking advanced network functionality in start menu / settings / connections / usbtopc applet.
- another reason for USB connection error: if your PC takes too long to load the drivers (if your device is in bootloader for the first time and perhaps if you are on vista), then if RUU times out, but device still says "USB" on the tricolour screen, just leave it there and re-run the RUU when driver installation finishes.
- finally, you can try disabling antivirus or firewall programs on the PC.
-- other issues:
- if Enterbootloader.exe fails to run (says missing component or similar), try a hard reset of the device.
How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download your choice of a stock spl package from this post.
2. also download the original hardspl from the attachments in this post.
3. run the hardspl exe but do not click anything in RUU yet. just let the hardspl EXE extract the files for flashing.
4. the SPL you want to revert to is a .NBH file, put the stock SPL NBH in the extracted hardspl package, overwriting the original NBH file in it!
5. continue with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour 0.45-C.SSPL screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+6. to verify, enter bootloader mode, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 0.45.0000.
that's it.
+7. no worries: if your device is stuck in bootloader mode with Hard-SPL and you need warranty service, you can still flash stock SPL.
finally, credits: to Olipro for Hard-SPL concept, and SSPL loader is partially based on haret and old pof&Olipro jumpspl code.

Problem installing HardSPL...

I am trying to install HardSPL for the first time on my Hermes using MrVanx's guide at http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=26
I followed all the steps, i downloaded olipro 2.10 extracted the files, plug in my fully charged hermes, watch the connection dialog complete successfully on the phone and sync center syncs and shows that the phone is connected, then i run RUUWrapper.exe and click next until i get to this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I click update and then i click next twice to proceed with the flash. Then a message pops up on my pc that says "Verifying information on your Hermes please wait", and a dialog box pops up on my hermes asking me if i want to allow EnterBL.exe to run. I choose "Yes" and it enters this screen:
This is where my problem occurs. Once that bootloader screen shows up on my phone, the HardSPL update utility on my pc loses the usb connection, sync center no longer recognizes the phone as being connected, and the HardSPL update utility gives me the following error message:
ERROR [260] : UPDATE ERROR
The update utility cannot connect to your PDA phone. Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA Phone.
Check the following:
1. The PDA Phone is connected to the USB cradle/cable.
2. The USB cradle/cable is connected to the PC.
The bootloader screen on the phone just sits there ive tried mashing buttons but it does nothing, if i pull out the usb cord from the phone it will say serial at the bottom but thats about the most response i can get out of it. So basically i just restart the phone after to find that nothing has changed and try over and over again.
NOTE: I do not have an SD card in my phone, i dont know if this updater requires an SD card to be inserted but it never said anything about SD cards in the guide so i am assuming it doesnt matter. Also my bootloader screen does not totally match the picture it says:
HERM200
IPL-SSPL by Des
HERM200
SPL-1.09.ds
Not sure what that means or if it makes a difference either...

OK, you now have Soft SPL on your Hermes, follow these instructions EXACTLY...
1. Format an sd card (2Gb or less) FAT32. Copy .nbh file to it.
2. Rename .nbh file to hermimg.nbh . Insert into Hermes.
3. Reset into bootloader (tri-colour screen). If you did this right, follow the onscreen instructions...
This will be quick.
Once you have Hard SPL on your Hermes, your IPL will be 1.04 and your SPL will be 2.10 oli. Then you can use those steps to flash another rom. This was only possible because you have Soft SPL on your Hermes. If you want to flash another Hermes you should check out and follow the instructions on page 116, post 1160 of the Hard SPL thread...
Cheers...
If you have XP on your PC, upgrade your .net framework to 3.5.... That should also fix up that pesky sync error...

Are you sure i have softspl on my hermes? It seems like it might be the upgrader might just be temporarily loading it into the memory. I bought this phone used but its running WM5 and i doubt the previous owner would have installed softspl. Either way if i do have it permanently installed on the phone i dont know how to enter the bootloader without running that HardSPL upgrader. I will try what you said though. I dont have an SD card as of yet but i will pick one up today. And I am running Vista, but have read a few posts by Mr Vanx saying that Vista can have issues with these things. Ill get back to you after i get an sd and try it out.

Press down both the POWER button and SIDE OK together and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the bottom.
Mike

Oh alrite cool thanks mike that is taking me to the bootloader. When i get my sd card ill try what ultramag69 said. Btw is the bootloader actually supposed to do anything other than display that screen? because i cant actually boot from it... i cant actually do anything in it....ive pressed every button on the phone nothing happens....
Anyways i guess that doesnt really matter at this point, ill get back to you guys after i have the sd card. thanks guys.

When you insert the sd card, as long as you've done the steps correctly, it will recognise the flash file on the card and do something. When you reset into bootloader, if you're worried Soft SPL is no longer on your Hermes, reset to bootloader before inserting the sd card. It should say SPL : 1.09 des. Insert sd card then reset to bootloader again.
If for some reason its not there, go to here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
post 1160, page 116. You can download it (SSPL.exe), put it onto your Hermes main memory, do not run it from sd card, and run using the file explorer. It will start Soft SPL again. And as long as you have the flash file (hermimg.nbh) on the sd cards root directory, it well flash the Hermes.
Cheers...

ok so i got a 1gb microsd card and formatted it in fat32. i downloaded Hard-SPL-V7.zip, renamed RUU_signed.nbh to hermimg.nbh and then placed it on the root of the memory stick. Then in order to check my spl and ipl; i pressed down both the POWER button and SIDE OK together and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the bottom. It showed that i had IPL-1.01 and SPL-1.11, (which i am assuming means no softSPL). So then i downloaded SSPL-HERM.zip from page 116 post 1160 @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722 and i copied the SSPL-HERM.exe to the memory of my phone and ran SSPL-HERM.exe from file explorer. This took me into the bootloader which now said i had IPL-SSPL by Des and SPL-1.09.ds which i am assuming means softSPL. At this point i inserted my SD card. Nothing happened. So i pressed down both the POWER button and SIDE OK together and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the bottom, and my phone rebooted back into windows mobile. The SD was still in the phone but still nothing was happening so i rebooted back into bootloader mode AND MY IPL WAS BACK TO IPL-1.01 MY SPL BACK TO SPL-1.11!!! WTF AM I DOING WRONG?!!!
UPDATE: Now i am getting an error every time i try to execute SSPL-HERM.exe "The file cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found". I am getting pretty sick of windows mobile 5 maybe i would have better luck getting hardSPL on if i upgraded to an official wm6 rom first. Do you still need hardSPL if you are using an official WM6 rom? because i think i saw an official european version of WM6.1 for the hermes somewhere in this forum. Maybe i could install that and i would have less problems trying to install hardSPL after?

alrite im going to assume that everyone is stumped by the problem so im thinking that i could flash my device with a ROM accepted by standard bootloader as it says in the SSPL-HERMES readme. im asuming i have somehow corrupted my hermes so once i do that everything will be reset to normal and i can start from the beginning and try again. so can anyone confirm for me that i can download a firmware somewhere that is accepted by the standard bootloader and flash my hermes without having to use HardSPL or softSPL and without any great risk? and if so can anyone recommend a firmware that i could do this with??

restart the hermes, have the sd card already inserted and run SSPL.exe from the main memory. It should work. If you think it may help, re-copy SSPL.exe back onto main memory.

So then i downloaded SSPL-HERM.zip from page 116 post 1160 @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722 and i copied the SSPL-HERM.exe to the memory of my phone and ran SSPL-HERM.exe from file explorer. This took me into the bootloader which now said i had IPL-SSPL by Des and SPL-1.09.ds which i am assuming means softSPL. At this point i inserted my SD card. Nothing happened. So i pressed down both the POWER button and SIDE OK together and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the bottom, and my phone rebooted back into windows mobile. The SD was still in the phone but still nothing was happening so i rebooted back into bootloader mode AND MY IPL WAS BACK TO IPL-1.01 MY SPL BACK TO SPL-1.11!!! WTF AM I DOING WRONG?!!!
UPDATE: Now i am getting an error every time i try to execute SSPL-HERM.exe "The file cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found". I am getting pretty sick of windows mobile 5 maybe i would have better luck getting hardSPL on if i upgraded to an official wm6 rom first. Do you still need hardSPL if you are using an official WM6 rom? because i think i saw an official european version of WM6.1 for the hermes somewhere in this forum. Maybe i could install that and i would have less problems trying to install hardSPL after?

What you did wrong was to insert the microsd card after you execute SSPL-HERM.exe. The card must be inserted before execution of softSPL. Then the phone goes to bootloader screen and will recognize the image in the card and will flash it after a prompt to continue.
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295735 has a very good discussion about SD card method for flashing ROMs and the procedure its exactly the same for HardSPL flashing.
About the error with SSPL-HERM.EXE try copying the file again to your main memory or rename the file it might help.
HTC Tytn

SPL: 2.10.Olipro (HardSPL v7)
ROM: Shamanix WM6 Ultimate v2 Final
RADIO: 1.48.00.10

the problem has been mostly solved. I've managed to get hardspl on the phone by using v9 instead of v7. I think the problem I was having with v7 was that my phone won't run any roms that force sspl. v9 gave me an error but according to boz over at 4win it is a common error happens even during a successful installation. so after getting v9 on my computer the sspl-herm was able to flash and indicated a successful installation. after that I was able to flash black satin. black satin would not install through sspl so others with the same problem will probably have to choose the 2.10 new bootloader in order to get the flash to start. that's what worked for me anyways. I still don't understand why roms won't work thru sspl on my hermes but I have hardspl and black satin now so if I never figure it out I don't really care. thanks for your help guys I really appreciate it. its good to finally be on wm6

==================
Hi,
I followed the pages I found on this site and I downloaded the Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro Build 21169.5.0.0 - Release 3 (grandma_pics.zip), but I had a 150 error and now I'm stucked with a device saying SERIAL||USB on a white screen (depending if it is or not plugged into the craddle) not responding to any reset and not lighting.
activesync don't detect it anymore, so I suppose I'm doomed

Did the update start as it should? It should first detect your current software version and then ask you to continue. Then a progress bar would show and update would begin (taking about 5 minutes). Where exactly has it gone wrong? Don't be afraid (Sorry if my english is bad, I don't use it so often)

I followed the howto and upgrade started, but the bargraph didn't come and connexion was lost.
Then it thrown a 150 error, and since I'm stucked with the USB screen.
When I de/reconnect xp emits USB in/out sounds but activesync stays unconnected.

If you haven't seen this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
then it's 99% safe to take out the battery With some builds I get an error while trying to start upgrade from 2003 to 6.x, so you might try another build... Hope this helps!!!! Good luck!!!

Unfortunately it didn't help: I'm still stuck with the SERIAL screen

Hard reset (in windows 2003 press Power + Reset)? Try upgrading to Win2003.

Nope: still stucked

When you run the 2003 upgrade, what does it say? Can't find the phone?

I just tried the hard reset.
I'll try 2003 tomorrow (its 0320 here!)
Thanks for your answers, I'll keep you posted ASA I tested the 2003 upgrade.

I succedd to flash it (well, almost
I reinstalled activesync and re-read the doc (that say I could be left w/o USB connectivity) and relaunched the upgrade (still WM6) and it worked...
mod'op:
* Uninstall AS (which failed, staying forever at "1 second left" (but remember: I use xp on a VM, on a slooow machine (XP2600+ w/ 1.5GB RAM),
* Uninstall the CE USB driver,
* Reboot xp,
* Reinstalled AS
Well, it worked until ~97%, and thrown a 112 error (CE ROM Update error); so, as adviced by the flasher, I performed a soft reset, get the 4 coloured stripes, pressed camera & voice, and I'm now stucked here: I've got the 3 options, but nothing seems to act on them (no moving between options, no change while screen-pressing more than 2s on the 1st or typing N on the keyboard.) - The device screen indicated 98%.
So, now guess I must re-upgrade, but as I don't want to end up with a paper-weight, I'll wait for skilled advice.

Why upgrade with a VM?? And why so an old ROM

With a VM because I don't have anymore w$ directly acessible (and don't want it, as I've got small HDz)
I thought the howto pages where up to date...
Anyway, I re-put the device into flashing mode and it is upgrading at this time.
I'll keep you posted of the result; but I just read the links you sent and I think I'll go to 6.1 as you say the battery life is much longer (but I don't know exactly how to do that, as it will be a downgrade.)
And about the support, I'd have been glad to do so, but I can't (I'm unemployed and been given this device, which, I hope will help me to launch a small business till the next january)

Failed @ 29% this time.
I'm currently downloading the WM6.1 version

After several attempts and many 112 errors (@ random upgrade %ages, may be low level USB interractions?) I'll try tomorrow on a pristine XP installation (friend's computer).
And keep you posted.

hey there i have the same problem as u . but i dont know what to do ... so plz if u can explain to me what to do ... and which files must use """sorry for my english """".

Yeahhh! The beast is beautiful!
PB was apparently that USB doesn't like very much my VM (or vice versa): it worked @ 1st try with a real xp.
However, 1st boot (after the 3 options setup in color bars) was triggered by MAIL+POWER, not MAIL alone (genuine Qtek 9090).
To aboutaleb504: Use a real w$, not a VM; and use the files pointed at in the 2nd link of D-2's post (I also took Office from a WM6.5 BlueAngel wiki's page and its working correctly)
Thanks to everybody tout le monde, and especially to D-2 for pointing the faulty VM and for the WM6.1 links

Please "D-Two" not "d-2" Thanks
You have seen that i have many Roms not only WM6.1

Ach, you D-Two
Yep, but I also read the docs and they say WM6.1 has the lowest battery consumption, which is important to me. That's why I choose to stick with it.
Ho-hO, Its a good thing this thread continues: I installed the 'cabs' and 'cabs2' packages I originally found with the first ROM image, and I just found that 'VoIP Setup' throw me an error:
"The file 'SetupVoIP' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling this file."
I reinstalled it but it was the same.

I'm glad you did it!! New Windows has much better functions, but I just got back to 2003, couldn't take the slowness anymore

x8 bricked

Hey, just got my x8 Briked, stuck at the SE boot logo.
Can't go to the xrecovery menu ... help ?!
ROM used was jerpelea's v003, got the " SD safe to remove " reboot then stuck.

Reinstall system with SEUS or PC Companion or with FlashTool

Pc Companion cannot connect to my phone.
I'll try SEUS ( downloading version 2.7 atm ).
If it fails to, let's go try FlashTool then, it's available from jerpelea's ROM packages, right ?
Thank for reply !

Just repair/update as dbts25 said, or try again to get in xrecover menu, maybe it start ...
...if your phone restart, pc cant make a connection. U have to start your phone from flash,
Connect the cable, open your phone and hold down back button to connect it...
Try it!

Yes it can be there. I don't download his ROM yet so I don't know

PC Companion = Fail
SEUS = Fail
FlashTool = Fail
Edit : Any other solution or links for your FlashTool & SEUS versions which I might try

First of all, do not panic (i say that because i was in panic myself the first time i bricked my phone).
I suggest you to install the stock rom from pc companion (then install what ever you want). You will LOOSE ALL your data (exept the ones in your SDcard), but it's better that a bricked phone
PC companion will work, follow the steps:
1. Go to "Support Zone" (in Pc Companion)
2. Click "Start" (without to connect the phone)
3. A window will pop up, click the "Repair phone" link
4. Click "continue"
ATTENTION: Somewhere here the program will ask you to choose you phone, i can't tell when because i have choose mine the first time i did it. After this it will ask you to connect it pressing the "Back" button.
5. A window will pop up to inform you somehow that you will lost you data, ckeck the box and click "next"
6. The PC Companion will download the final version of your stock rom, just wait... and then it will install it.
(the phone will connect throught flash mode)
P.S.:This will work, that's how i fixed my X8 when i had the same problem...
I hope that i helped you
EDIT: Write to jerpelea about the bug so he/she can fix it.

It seems like my computer is missing the SEMC USB Flash drivers.
I get them from the net but the .inf driver file wont install..

ok, let's see... 2 suggestions (try second first)
1. First of all try to download and install "Gordons Gate". It installs the drivers BUT i was using it for my old phone (SE s500i, it's not a smartphone). I do not know if it will works...
2. Else, I can provide you my "Drivers" folder from my PC Companion folder. Copy your Drivers folder to desktop first (to have a back up), and then extrack my zip file in the "C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Sony Ericsson PC Companion" or where ever you have your PC companion installed. (i think now it will not ask you to choose you phone)
Drivers.zip (download from mediafire)
I asume you have windows. I wish i works...

Thank you sir !
Solved my drivers problem with an other version of Gordon's Gate !
I had the 2.2.0.10 > uninstalled then reinstalled the 2.2.0.5 then worked fine !
Now I can repair my phone !
Thanks again ! <3

Why would he flash TA? It's not smart idea because Omnius can't recalculate sec. zone so he would end up with REALLY bricked phone...

Hi there, I also bricked my x8. I messed up with the build.prop file and now i think PcCompanion "sees" it as an x10 device.It doesn't go any further than Sony Ericcson logo and I have to remove the battery to make it start.
I tried the above method of restoring it but SEUS says there isn't any software available.
SEUS just checks and then tells me there are no updates available.
Any ideas?

Try the repair solution i have post above. Go to update with pc companion but do not connect your phone to the pc, a window will pop up. Click repair and folow the instuctions...

Thanks for the reply GreatApo.
When I try the repair solution i get the message: "there is no software available for your phone yet.Please try again later". As I recall now, I changed the build.prop with one of X10 device and when I recovered the backup something went wrong (maybe i erased it?!)
So now neither SEUS nor X10FlashTool can do anything. Is there a way to restore build.prop?
edit: I just had another idea. Is there any way to mesh up the phone even more so it doesn't see it as an up-to-date x10 and DO the repair?
Sony Ericsson doesn't really have a flashing tool, does it?

It's my solution.
1. Download flashtool with orginal rom 2.1 and drivers from rapidshare.com/files/451848208/flashtool.rar
2. Unpack
3. Install drivers if U need
4. Open X10flash.bat
5. choose your operating system
6. connect phone to flash mode
7. on PC click any key
8. wait for finish flash
9. enjoy your working phone

I thing that repair does not search for an update, it just download the latest official rom. try the other people suggestions... there must be a solution.

Again, thank you for the replies.
I tried flashtool through X10flash.bat but I couldn''t get past the selection of OS. Is there a difference with the GUI version of flashtool? Using GUi version, everytime it started flashing it gave me an error and never finished flashing.
I also thought that repair from Pc Companion would and SHOULD do the job but as it turns out it isn't a repair tool after all.
Anyway, I finally sent it to service 'cause I need it soon.
Bottom line: Be careful when messing with build.prop ! : )
