my USB cord disconnected during a rom upgrade, and I can't get back to the recovery screen on the computer. My phone is currently in the 4 color mode (red, green, blue, white), how can I get it out of that to continue my rom upgrade or start over?

Mine did that a couple times, I just started the process over again and my phone is working great
but doesn't the ruuupdater.exe have to verify that activesync is running so it can connect to the phone? the phone won't even load now, just goes to the multi colored screen.
I've also tried restarting the update program for both the 1.50 rom and the wm6 and both cannot connect to the device, because it is stuck at the multi-colored screen (which currently says "usb" since I have it connected to the usb)
Have you try a soft reset? That usually works for me.
how do i do a soft reset if I can't perform any functionality on the phone? not a smart remark, I just can't perform any actions on the phone, doesn't even boot up, like i said, only the red, green, blue and white screen appears when i turn the phone on.
thanks for your help guys.

Get your stylus and poke the little hole next to the IR near the usb port. Check your manual if you can't locate it.
I understand where that is located though, when I click it, it brings me back to the multi-colored screen.
First of all do you have HardSPL installed? If yes there are no problems...just run the upgrade again and choose the SPL version you have (and not the SSPL, cause it hasnt`t worked for me!) and go ahead...it will work!...at work I have a bad USB cable and in last week have failed to upgrade about 3 times...every time can resume from the begining withouth problems...

Primoz, that was the info I was looking for, thank you so much. I received an error saying the image file was corrupt but I will continue working on it.
Now I'm having an issue when wm6 loads (still have not repaired the ROM update yet), it hangs at the Windows Mobile 6 screen and does not go to the today screen, any ideas?

I have an 8125, IPL / SPL 2.25.0001 that has been working fine for over a year with the factory WM5 ROM. Recently, it started behaving badly, and thinking it was an OS problem, I restored a backup that I took using Sprite Mobile Backup. It worked for about 5 minutes, then started buzzing loudly, and the screen went dark. Now, if I try to boot normally, I get the blue splash screen, but after that the screen goes dark, and the bluetooth and wi-fi lights blink, but nothing else happens. I can get to the striped bootloader screen, and when I plug in the USB cable it says USB in the corner, but I can't get the Wizard tool or Hard SPL or any other tool to recognize it. It's not recognized by ActiveSync or WMDC, but Windows does realize that it is plugged in and adds it as a device to device manager. Am I suffering a hardware failure here? Is there anything I can try?
Thanks!
Nevermind, I figured it out. I found the information in the Wiki and got the Wizard Love ROM working. Seems a lot faster than it ever was before, might just stick with this instead of going to WM6. Or maybe not
There is so much information on here, and it can be overwhelming, no matter how much you try. But, I kept reading and reading and finally it all clicked.
THANKS!
so u figuered it out???
that's cool. i have similar problems. my os works but neither active sync nor wmdc can find the device.
at the time, the loading station is recognized by my pc.
how did u get them connected?

Hi,
Juts soft rebooted my Tytn, and its not stuck on the initial boot screen (the four coloured bars).
Done a hard reset back to fatory defaults and still won boot past initial coloured screen. It says:
HERM300
IPL-1.04
SPL-1.40.Olipro
Serial
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ants
have your tried taking the battery out and leaving it out for ten minutes then putting it back in and switching it on? IF you are still on the triolour bootscreen then you will just have to run a flash of a rom on it. That should get the phone back up and running
If you get it running though, do yourself a favour and install Hard SPL V7... You're running an older, less safe version. More chance for stuff ups...
Very odd
Hmm, well leaving the battery out for for a couple of minutes then rebooting makes it boot properley, but if I soft reset then it gets stuck at the coloured bars again unitl the battery is removed for a couple of minutes again.
I guess I will have to try flashing it later, but at least I have the phone running again so I can use it today, wil try flashing later.
thanks.
Ants
Didnt last long
got stuck at the coloured sceen again no matter how long I left the battery out now, just flashed the ROM again (schaps, same as I have been using for a year OK), and still same problem. I cant update the SPL as even on the odd occasion I got it to boot, installing spl2.10 requires a reboot at which point it got stuck again, and I couldnt get it to boot before the SPL loader program on the PC timed out with a comms error.
I am wondering if it is an intermittent hardware fault like a stuck button, would that cause it to get stuck on the first screen?
Ants
bugger!
just opened it up and a switch fell out, its the one from the comms button (just below the power button on the right hand side). Not sure my SMD soldering is that good to get it soldered back on again, must have hit it somehow or a previous drop and its just finally worked loose etc.
Although I find it har to believe that a switch would cause boot to fail, surley it just doesnt make a connection if its missing, just as if it wasnt depressed?

Hi. The phone application was not functioning well and the F/C dialog showed up. I powered off the phone and from that point, the phone won't turn on.
The battery was fully charged before this happened.
When I press the power button, the phone vibrates for half a second, the screen brightens up but does not show anything but a black screen.
I removed SIM and SD cards, removed the battery and performed the above steps but nothing happened.
I also tried to put on the charger to see what's going on. Once I plug the charger, the phone's screen brightens but shows only blank (even without pressing the power button)
When connected to the charger, the green light for charging is on for some minutes, then goes off automatically.
I tried to connect it to the PC, and PC Companion finds the device as usually. It even shows the dialog on the pc screen to mount the device.
I tried a hard reset, but does not work
On some point, the sony logo appeared and then a dialog saying: "sorry process system is not responding". The first time I pressed Force Close and the phone turned off. Immediately after that, the phone turned on and showed the exact message. I pressed "Wait" but nothing happened in the next 15 minutes.
I called Sony's support center and they suggested a software update. Did the process exactly as it should, but again, even after the software update the screen shows nothing but black. It is all the time brightened for some reason.
I tried to turn off the phone for some time by removing the battery, but as soon as I put the battery back on, the phone's screen brightens and stays that way forever.
The phone was functioning perfectly up until this issue. The only application I had installed apart from some games, was AWDLauncher. On the screen I had only a TASK widget and a battery status widget.
The phone is 3 months old and has been always in perfect condition.
ANY help would be appreciated!!!!
Many Thanks
Try to format phone with this method hope it should work as it seems the issue is with OS only ..

I tried the steps found in the link you gave me, but I couldn't go any further after step no (5) from the tutorial, as it would require to enable Debugging mode and I cannot access the OS (since the device won't turn on).
Is there a way to format all the contents of the device and have them replaced by running SEUS (as it always says that my device is up to date now)?
Was it this:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../detailed/updateservice/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en
That Sony Ericsson told you to do?
If not, use that.
Download it, follow the steps when it says you have the latest version, press "Install Anyway".
Hope this works.
Hi itTim. thanks for the response
this is what i did but no improvement at all ((
Sounds like you broke your LCD screen somehow.
That would suck because I broke mine and it cost me $200 to fix.
Hi Hypercore.
Yes that could be the problem. The thing is that I always took rally good care of the phone, always carried in a leather pouch and never droped it. How sensitive is this lcd anyway?? Did you notice any cracks on your lcd or was the problem simillar to mine?
Thanks
When you turn on the phone does the lcd backlight turn on?
If so, look for any faint lines of color (usually a hairline size). If you see any of those then your screen is cracked.
the backlight is on, but there are no lines of colour on the lcd screen.
another weird thing is that the green light on the top blinks one or two times every time i put on the battery. even if the phone is off, once I insert the battery turns on automatically after a couple of seconds.
If all else fails you could try to flash back to your original fw with the tools here:

That won't do anything.
I had almost the same issue. Nothing worked. But, when I removed the battery and left it for a day (24h) without it, it just started working again. Still working without issues..
Good luck!

Phones are very wierd pieces of technology. I once bricked my k610i and that's a phone that's supposed to be impossible to un-brick, but out of nowhere a month or so later i picked it up, hit power and it turned on perfectly. Made no sense at all, but it worked.
Taking the battery out for a long time probably took all the electrical charges from it (kind of like how a computer power supply / monitor can hold power charges) and reset your handset.

Indeed. It could be a frozen chip, memory fault, power-regulator and so on.

if you have done this and did not worked , then it is the LCD.
send it to workshop and check it there.
Guys i Really need the solve of this problem , my xperia has blank screen now without backlight and the phone completely doesn't work . when i put the battery and prees the switch botton it gives me 3 red signals , i've updated and hard reset but it didn't work , and btw the LCD is fine , any idea. did removing the battery worked???? . please answer
After a looooot of time since my latest post, finally my Xperia came back to life. There was a battery failure which means the phone was ok all the time. Weird thing is that the led light showed that the battery was charging ok. I removed the battery and after a lot of time it is working ok again. This was really really odd.
FYI for anyone else that gets this issue.
I just had this for the past hour after trying to change my baseband....could not get it back for anything.
What I did finally try was run another baseband via flash tool, connected to usb and it started flashing....after flash phone powered on again...yeah I agree with everyone, that is freaking scary when it happens.
Hello all!
A friend of mine gave a Mozart today for repair. The glass is broken bad but the LCD is intact! The phone itself behaves very strange! When I power it ON (or plug the AC charger/USB Cable) The HTC Logo appears and sits there for around 15 - 20 secs then it reboots itself and the process repeat itself till I unplug the cable. Then it just turns off.
Bootloader works!
I tried to factory reset it (both volume buttons at power on) it didn't help!
I flashed the official Mango RUU but the problem persists!
The phone have not been modified by any way (HSPL, Custom ROMS etc.)
Ideas?
just send it to the service center, lucky if the warranty still exists. If the warranty dead already, then I think it's okay to spend a little money for the beloved mozart. currently, I have no idea what should you do.. If I were you, I would possibly done that. Either way it goes, seems that it needs an original hTC 7 Mozart's Display screen. (If you see hTC on below the main speaker, the hTC is written in the screen's display)..
I already ordered the screen and I'll change it no problem. The thing that is bothering me is why the phone wouldn't start like it should!
Update!
I've just replaced the digitaizer but the problem persist! The phone boots, shows the HTC logo, stays that way for some seconds and either reboots (if connected to cable USB/AC) or just turns off (in not connected) Bootloader works! I even HSPL the device and tried some custom ROMs. Every time the same thing! Before the HSPL I tried some official RUUs but no change! Some times while holding some of the keys I'm able to make it show the ZUNE Update screen! ( the black screen with a PC and a phone waiting to connect) then ZUNE tells me that there is no restore point (which is right) and tells me that I can disconnect the phone!
HELP!
dear friend
go to the original rom.
i had the same problem with the booting.
My phone was working fine earlier, sent a text off, went to write another one, pressed the search button by accident and then the screen froze, wouldnt respond to any touch at all. Tried turning the screen on and off for a bit, volume was still working etc, in the end pulled the battery. Phone restarted, managed to get it to the normal lock screen (where it had my alarm/activities for the day displayed) but again, unresponsive to touch. Pulled again a few times and the same thing happened so I decided to leave it, figured maybe the heat/humidity here (on holiday in India) had wreaked havoc with some component.
Anyways, restarted again 30 minutes later and this time couldn't get past the windows phone screen -as soon as that loaded, it reset the phone and got stuck in a neverending loop. Held up and down together and got to the screen I think is called SPL (never bothered with any of the rooting stuff)
However, the TOUCH simply says "TOUCH NONE". So obviously theres a problem there. Everything else is the same.
I tried disabling/enabling the HTC log/modem bridge but that didn't help and did a reboot and factory reset a few times but that didn't help either. Now Ive got the device hooked up to my laptop, changed from serial to USB but I don't know what (if anything) I can do in this state?
I tried earlier holding down to put it into zune mode, it completed restoring the version but then as the zune software restarted the phone, it went back into the endless cycle - the zune software was still waiting for it to reconnect again to complete the process, but obviously I couldn't get it that far.

Hold down the volume up and volume down at the same time while hitting the power once you see the white screen you can let go of the power; in green lettering you're going to see the SPL, for most of us its 2.05.160023. This is the bootloader screen, everything there is done by the volume toggle, no touch screen here. Your phone is stock which means you won't be flashing like we customized folks do so let's start with the SPL, what is it and by some chance is it HSPL'd?

berrywr, TOUCH NONE on SPL screen means either corrupted touch driver or dead touch screen.
