You will need to use the sd card method of flashing from bootloader.

How do I do that?
You mean I have to cook a new ROM with zipped NK.nb1 (SD-card flashing) then hard reset and the installation will begin???
hi. yes. you the only one way like others suggested, you need a SD card. cook the rom or go to http://www.yorch.net choose the rom that match your os. Then us XDAtool to install the rom you want to SD card. check posts for how to install rom image to SD Card using XDA tool.

I am trying to run the SD Card boot-loader with no sucess.
I have put the ******.nbh file on the root of an empty 1Gb MicroSD card, put it in the device, held down the Speech Button and switched the device on.
It very briefly says on the screen 'reading SD Card' (or something like that) then goes to the RGB screen. It does not attempt to run anything from the SD card no matter what I try.
Am I doing something wrong, or are there issues with SD cards over a certain capacity. I have tried formatting the card as both FAT, and FAT 32.
Hi,
you have to format your sd-card with an cardreader and your windows pc! please use as filesystem fat32, after the formatingprocess copy the *.nbh file on your sd-card. then insert the card in your device and enter the bootloader.
thats all, enjoy and have fun
Tried that and can not get it to work. Will try again though. Any particular block size when I format?
use standard blocksize, and you must use the correct filename for the *.nbh file!
also, has to be the correct image, not all nbh files will load off SD card

thats correct, but i think he knows that and use the correct file
flashing from card
to flash from card, CID should be unlocked.
current uspl doesn't allow to flash from card.
two solutions: imei-check or gold card with arteimg.nbh file.
regards,
what is gold card
I am trying to flash the original O2 UK ROM. The file is named Arteimg.nbh and is the correct image for the device.
I really can not get it to work, when I start the device it says on the screen that it is reading the card, but only for about half a second, is that normal?
its normal for it to probe sd card yeah, but not to ignore it hmm... might be worth going to o2 shop shrug your shoulders and say it all went pete tong... lol what i did!!

Guys, just get the device into BOOTLOADER. Connect to PC (WindowsXP) then run the O2 UpdateROMUtility.exe file. The device should flash and after 10mins or so you should have your device back.
I bricked my phone and did this. Got it back working no problems. After it works again, get it unlocked. Saves any bother in the future. www.imei-check.org

that's not what we're trying to do...
we're trying to get our device into bootloader mode and flash it using our SD card. we didn't brick our device. we just want to flash it with the SD card.

What's the point ?????
Hi, I just wanted to know which order I should install ROMs and Radios in. I want to install the latest radio because I have heard it can improve reception/increase battery life and I am going to finish installing MoDaCo 3.0 when I know which one to do first.
Also when partitioning an SD card using the AR Recovery loader (sorry if thats not what its called) do I have to change any values or are the default ones suitable. The reason I ask is that I bought a 4gb Class 6 card and want to use that instead.
Many thanks

When I had a Windows Mobile Phone, I flashed the Radio first, and then the ROM. You would maybe have to look if it's described anything about the ROM and which Radio, I don't think it's any problem. Find also the best Radio for your area, I once flashed a US radio and got the worst signals ever.
And if your flashing the MoDaCo 3.0 I would partitioned the SD card after the default settings, but you loose 1gb then. And you loose all data, so therefor do a Flash of the ROM afterwards.

OK well I've flashed the radio already. Now I'm going to put the MoDaCo ROM on my new SD card. Once I've done that I will Flash the ROM onto the phone.
Once this is done I will boot into recovery and partition the SD card. This I assume will wipe the SD card and if I follow the defaults (32MB, 512MB, Rest in Fat32) then I should have an OK setup?
I assume the values I have listed are the best values for partitioning but I don't know.
Also, what do you mean about losing 1gb?
Thanks

Sorry I ment 500mb ish, From the total size of the sdcard, since 544mb goes to ext and 1,4gb is left for FAT32.

If you are using the SD card that came with your phone, you probably need to reformat it properly. See if your computer can read the SD card. If so, copy everything off of it and onto your computer hard drive in a safe place. Then install and run this application: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ and use it to format the SD card. (Do not use Windows's built-in stuff to format the card, it won't fix it.)
After the format is done, copy everything back to the card, and then back into the phone and try it again.

Well the card has NOTHING on it.... I have no clue and CWM states no files either.
I have this gut feeling I just bricked my phone as even I cannot get it into download mode CMW just keeps coming up nice and BLUE ...
UPDATE : I am able to use CWM it seems I tried adding a ROM to the SD card and reinserting yet Nothing... I have the feeling the system is wiped also... IS there a zip file I can use to restore that anyone knows about... I was searching for the Orginal firmware and can't find anything.
Thanks

Whenever I flash a new ROM the instructions always say to download the .zip to a computer then move it to the SD card etc.. Etc.. (You know the drill) Anyway, I've been thinking, you can download .zip files to your phone, so why do i need a computer?
Can't I just download it to my phones SD card, factory reset, wipe cache and then flash it? I really don't see the need for a computer.
Or have I just been naive and haven't heard of any bugs yet? Thanks!

You don't need a computer. You're indeed right to think that. You don't even have to dl it to the root of your sd card because recoveries are file managers anyways.

That saves a bunch of time then. I don't understand why all devs to download to a PC first..
Idk either. Probably because dling to Android from the internet can be buggy.

the most likely reason is that because most roms are 100mb plus in size and the average user likes to test/experiement with various roms and most likely wont delete it from their phone each time, its just smarter in terms of storage to dl to computer but to the sd card is the same ting.
Hello all, I recently purchased a new GS4 tmobile variant and have rooted it via Odin. SU shows up in the app section and TWRP installed successfully. My problem is when I attempt to flash a new rom i.e. GE 4.3, I almost immediately get a FAILED message and cant get it installed. I created a backup and have been able to restore so its not been an issue however I really cant figure out where im going wrong. The zip file is on my SD card but no luck... I'm just looking for some direction,
Thanks Andrew

if you installed the rom correctly to the sd card, using twrp, you should be able to do your wipe data factory reset, wipe cash and dalvik, then press install from sd card, choose zip from sd card and install. make sure the rom is on the root of the sd card. when i first started flashing i was having a issue because my device was mounted incorrectly and the rom was not going to the root of my sd card. i started using a card reader that i can mount as a disk drive and send the rom to that. that solved my issues. also i seemed to be having issues with twrp on my device so i started using it and installed clockwork mod touch recovery and things started working then.Also be sure you are trying to install the correct rom for your device variant.i hope this helps some. good luck

The .zip file is in a folder called ROMS i created on the root of the internal memory. Right now im stuck without anything as my backup seems to have failed now as well. I've flashed many roms before and have never run into this so im stumped! I've tried using both CWM and TWRP but both through a "failed" error. I downloaded both the rom package from the Tmo variant GS4 forum so i think they should be right...

I think ive found your issue. You said you placed the roms in a folder, try this, put the rom DIRECTLY on the root of your sd card, NOT in a folder. Give this a try and let me know. I know when flashing with my last device, the rom could not be placed into a folder, it had to be placed directly onto the root of the sd card. So try going back to the computer and mount as disk drive and directly place the rom onto the sd card, then just scroll down to find the rom while in recovery and this SHOULD work. I had a issue mounting as a disk drive so I just used a micro sd card reader and placed my sd card into the card reader, this automatically is recognized as a external disk drive and I'm able to place rom directly to root of sd card this way. When I tried hooking up my device directly to the computer it mounted as a media device and would not allow the rom to be placed correctly on the root. So that's how I got around that. So keeping these issues in mind, try again and place the rom directly to the sd and NOT in a folder and see if your able to successfully flash after that. After I did these things I was able to flash without any problems. Luke I said when I first flashed these were some issues I encountered that was prohibiting me from flashing correctly. Now I don't have any problems flashing. Please let me know if this works out and enables you to successfully flash. Hope this helps
