Hi guys!

I'm new to Xperia phones bot not to Android root and these kinda things (i had Samsung phone so it was easier for me). My phone is stuck on bootloop after flashing TheBranisRom.

First I want to say that i've done it from stock ICS 6.1.1.B.1.10, so maybe that's the problem. I can't tell because like I said I'm green to Xperia NXT phones. Also I did unlock the bootloader.​

So this is what I did:

First, I flashed this kernel via Flashtool.

After that I cleared cache, dalvik and wiped data.

Next I placed on my phone the newest version of TheBrainsRom (v10)

Rebooted into recovery and flashed .zip "from sd card" (internal memory)

Cleared cache, dalvik and wiped data.

Rebooted the phone and... *BAM* bootloop :(

Oh and I noticed that no AROMA INSTALLER Menu has shown. Maybe that's the problem? Was I supposed to do (copy/paste something into the ROM.zip) something with ROM.zip? If so feel free to shout at me that I can't read, but please... tell me what have I done wrong and how to repair that. ;)

Do you guys maybe know what have I done wrong? Is it because the kernel or CWM, if so then link me to some good one. Or maybe it's because I came from 6.1.1.B.1.10? I hope you guys can help me.

PS. If you don't understand what I'm saing feel free to PM me.

Odp: [Q] Xperia U "The Brains Rom" bootloop

Restore backup. If you don't have it, flash stock ftf.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] asdik:
Yup i've already installed stock ftf form here. Repeated the process and bootloop again. I also want to mention that I'd not only my phone working but use this particular rom.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] asdik:
Oh well nevermind now I've chosen other rom to work with also with AROMA INSTALLER and it worked. Not shure why TheBrainsRom didn't work for me... :confused:

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] xboxmod:
Hi

i have successfuly unbrand my locked,vodafone branded 8X and flash a Stock HTC rom ! :victory:

the process has been tested on PM232****/c620e Device & also 8S using different filename....

this process bypass the CID check like Wp7 goldcard & can also fix some bad flash/reboot loop.

Caution!

use at your own risk.

I take no responsibility for any conflict or damage to your device

Requirements:

-An Y-cable

-sd card or usb drive key

-the 3 .nbh extracted from those 2 exe using winrar:

official rom HTC_Europe_2.00.401.03

ACDU FIX*

-RUU_Signed.nbh

-UEFI_signed.nbh

-ACDU_UEFI_PROV_KEY.nbh

How to flash:

1- Format your sdcard or usb key in fat32

2-Copy the file .nbh you want to flash to the usb key

3-Rename it ACDUDIAG.nbh

4-Connect the usb key to the Y-cable powered

5-Shutdown the phone press camera button and connect the cable

you will see the text ACDUDIAG.nbh on top left during 1 second

then the flash will start.

___________________________________________________________________

For my european device with Bootloader 162966 i have flash in this order:

-UEFI_signed.nbh

-ACDU_UEFI_PROV_KEY.nbh

-UEFI_signed.nbh

-RUU_Signed.nbh

-ACDU_UEFI_PROV_KEY.nbh

-UEFI_signed.nbh

* Notice:

(try different order for flash files if you have problem or if stuck on bootloader screen with uefi message)

I have used this step but i think you can directly flash

UEFI_signed.nbh then -RUU_Signed.nbh without Acdu depending on your software version

Sadly doesn't work on an Orange handset (UEFI 161722). It sees the nbh file, scrolls through a list of partitions, and then ends up at the bootloader after 2-3 seconds. :(
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] David Horn:
D'oh - bootloop.

Remember those images posted of the Windows recovery menu on a Windows Phone? Well, they weren't fake. :(
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] David Horn:
Woohoo! It worked (eventually). Not entirely sure the instructions above are entirely in the right order, but a random combination followed by a hard reset and re-flash got me back into Windows. The question is, has this fixed the missing features that Orange for whatever reason stripped out?

Update: Yep, there they are... :D Though I am somewhat disappointed that I don't get to take the phone back to the shop with the Windows Recovery Menu on display.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] jValdron:
Would this work on my Canadian phone (Bell Mobility), even though the RUU if for the European version?

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Brett VanKirk:
Anyone know if this will work on a Verizon HTC 8X? I am a little hesitant to try and force this flash and have it brick the phone. Attached is a screen shot of the software/hardware version.

I bought this phone from Verizon due to them selling it "unlocked" and under the assumption that Microsoft/HTC would be controlling the updates and not Verizon. I was wrong, even though the phone is “unlocked” Verizon is blocking MMS and internet connection sharing even if my SIM supports said features. An HTC rep has also confirmed that Verizon is blocking such features after several support calls. Talking to Verizon they have no knowledge of any update forth coming to Windows Phone 8. Verizon refered me to HTC even after I instructed them the international and AT&T/T-Mobile verisions have the Portico update, they denied any update exists!!
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] aaronk.yupi:
Same problem

Hello,

I bought the same phone at Microsoft store at Chicago.

Although it works fine in Israel, I have some problems.

I cant send SMS (it adds to all numbers +1 - like in States).

I can recieve SMS of course. I also cant share internet connection(hot spot).

I talked to HTC guys who sent me to Verizon and they sent me to F#@!@# myself :( .

So I would like very much to set the European ROM with my PC on HTC 8x.

Can anyone tell me how to do it? I have normal USB cable to connect HTC to

my Win7 or W8 PC to transfer music or pics.

Thanks,

Aaron

Hi thanks for the post..

I'm just wondering if this will work on an 8X that has already had an OTA update? :confused:
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] PUERTO_RUK:
this is big news! If this bypasses the cid, could you not make this a "custom" rom? Somewhat like what devs were doing with Motorola Droid X when Motorola was locking their bootloaders down and the eFuse? In theory the signatures and verifications would be "officially signed".

Hello. I was wondering if anyone has been able to achieve this on the Verizon HTC 8X. I'm tired of waiting for Portico from them and if I could unbrand my device then I could receive Portico as well as have the ability to group text. Also I'm not sure what you mean by a "Y Cable". If you could elaborate on that I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] kid1988:
You should check if the hard/software versions match, If they do you can try. If they don't you can still try but risk of the device not booting anymore.

Y cable is two female USB plugs connected, and a USB male plug only for +5v DC. check here:

My bootloader version is 157404 which is before the version listed on page one. However since I'm a noob to Windows Phone I'd rather have someone with more experience attempt it first and let me know the results. I'd really like to get the group text feature that Verizon disabled back. :)

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] minus5252:
Alternate hardware version?

I have an HTC 8x that was originally branded for AT&T. It is unlocked, but I can't use the Internet sharing. I was looking at installing one of these ROMs, but have three questions:

1) Will this work on my phone, as it is model HTC PM23300, but the OP states that this works with 232XXX, but doesn't mention 233xxx.

2) What is a Y cable?

3) Will a European ROM work in the US?

Sorry for what may be dumb questions, but I didn't have any luck with the search, and I don't have any experience hacking Windows phones, just Android and a little bit of iPhone hacking.

Thanks guys!!
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] BSAKSOUK:
It won't work. You have a USA variant of the phone. Installing a European ROM will not work. If it does work, it will probably brick your phone. There are minor differences between the 2 models.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] minus5252:
So are there any options for US users? I have this phone, and need to be able to tether, but it says I must contact AT&T to enable the feature. I am not an AT&T customer, so they wouldn't help me.

Thanks for the quick reply!!

Have you tried..

1. Turn the power off.

2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button. Release the VOLUME DOWN button when you see an icon on the screen.

3. Then press the following hardware buttons in sequence: VOLUME UP > VOLUME DOWN > POWER > VOLUME DOWN.

That's is main reason, why Android got a lot of market share.

Is this worth trying to resolve en error 270 when using romupdateutility

Hi Xboxmod.... I am in a world of poo poo with my sons HTC 8x....

Its in a boot loop after upgrading (well trying) to 8.1

This is the bootloader

This is the story so far...

Via MS Dev preview, I updated my 8X to wp8.1. It had worked ok on my 520 Lumia and the extra features were very useful. So all updates and processes appeared to be going smoothly, but after the final install , end result was an endless Boot Loop, showing the White HTC boot screen for about 3 seconds, then restarting continuously.

Managed to issue a factory reset, but that did not appear to do anything, and the loop continues. Have not been able to get back into Factory reset mode since. I can get into Boot Loader & Flash mode, but HTC dont provide a mechanism to restore the ROM. Up the proverbial creek without a paddle. The Phone is according to HTC a US version (and later claimed it was a UK version) , and is manufactured differently than those in Australia, and hence cant be repaired here.... (hmmm... convenient argument for HTC) I had spoken to them regarding warranty for the headphone jack a couple of weeks ago, and they informed me I would have to send the Phone from Australia to Taiwan for a warranty repair and that would cost $100 ... I purchased the phone new off ebay, where the auction stated the phone was in Australia, would ship from australia, and warranty would be covered by manufacturer. (I have raised a case with Ebay on that, as they were the two reasons I agreed to buy off ebay ...anyway, it shipped from Hong Kong...... sneaky Bas**rds

Following a link by tung on winphoneviet forum....

I downloaded the Euro version rom and placed it into the RUU folder.

I put the 8x into Bootloader mode, and connected via USB to the PC.

I Ran the RUU (Rom update utility)

The phone showed a green progress meter at the bottom of the screen pretty quickly, and it got to about 24% within about 3 seconds, then the phone rebooted.

And I got the error 270 message – Image file corrupt message.

Phone is now continuing its endless(mindless?) loop.... :popo61:

I tried the asia rom, and it also says error 270

So , its a sad story, and now I'm prepared to try about anything, as HTC wont help me....

Any thoughts appreciated...:fingers-crossed:

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] lakyman:
Ok i think that the update that you made on your phone with the preview have an effect to your bootloader version ! So as it is now you can't unbrand your phone because your version is too high ! Try to go on nokia care and ask them if they can install it for you ! Sould be like 30 euros if you really want to unbrand it of course !
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Twentyfive:
Yes, I know that my boot loader version is now update. But Dolice at the 12 pages said that he success with an higher bootloader than what it was advisable ;)

It just boots into Bootloader and the green text appears.

Only when removing the USB cable, the barcodes appear and the "Serial" message is displayed.

I think you need to take it to someone who has a service box that can restore the phone back to factory spec.

So far we have little luck in fixing this on our own.

The thing is, I took it to three phone service places, and they all returned it the same way; said there's nothing they can do to fix it, but can't tell me what's wrong with it it, they just don't know.
