SD card rom upgrade NOT WORKING - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

How do I upgrade rom from SD? What am I doing wrong?
I downloaded a nbh file, renamed to HERMIMG.nbh and placed on a FAT32 SD card.
Then I reset the phone while pressing both power and ok buttons and I got the tricolor screen but the rom is not flashing.
I have a Cingular 8525 with is working with the
S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_ WWE
and I want to flash into
21109/build 21109 Manila2 D Black FULL
Using a 4Gb Kingston card.
I flashed before using the ruuwrapper but now it doesn't work.
I connected and did the sync but when I run the ruuwrapper the cursor turns into sandclock 2 or 3 seconds and then back to normal, and no screen appears or anything new in the task manager.
Thanks in advance

Has to be 2GB or smaller card.

Thanks you for the quick reply.

You also need to have Hard SPL installed. Also make sure the .nbh file has been renamed correctly - hermimg.nbh - or it won't work.
Make sure sd card is formatted FAT32 as they formated FAT by default.
Just a few more things to check...
Cheers...

I was having problem flashing from my SD card as well, until I read an article telling me to format my SD card with FAT32 and 1024 byte allocation unit size. Once I did this everything worked as it should.

Thanks you both.
I tried with a 2gb memory and it worked fine.
However, I don't know if formating the 4GB SDHC with a 2Gb partition would work. Perhaps it is a SDHC issue rather a size limit.

Yes, it is indeed a SDHC issue as that is not supported in the bootloader.

I have a problem....

my Qtek9000 with wm6 crossbow dont read my SD card 1Gb. The other card of 512 work fine.
Help me.... The Sdcard of 1Gb work fine in computer.
try formatting on your pc using FAT
Dont work. I test FAT format and FAT32 format and nothing
did your 1gb sd work fine before on your Qtek?..try it in another device. Your card may not be a genuine 1gb!
in the past with WM5 my sdcard 1GB work fine. When i install the new crossbow the card not work. In pc work fine.
Did you install the new ROM with the SD card in the device? This can cause problems although I'm not sure exactly what problems... purely hypothetically, I think it may use the SD card as partition and then it won't be recognised as space but as used memory... purely conjecture that, don't quote me...
... ah, but then a reformat would fix this wouldn't it... sorry, still learning

Help installing ROM from SD

Can someone tell me how to load a ROM from an SD card? I was able to do it on my Titan by extracting the image from the .exe, renaming it and saving it to a FAT32 formatted SD card and booting from it. Is the process the same with Vogue? What should the file be renamed to? Thanks so much in advance.
same process-rename to voguimg.nbh
Ok, so how to get the phone to actually load the image. I have tried to press the combo of top power button and camera puts the phone in bootloader mode, but doesn't load the rom which is in \Storage Card\voguimg.nbh
1st format card in fat32- load VOGUIMG.nbh- i think it has to be in caps just like that. thats what works for me. then top power+camera+reset on bottom.
My card was formatted with fat32, I tried renaming the nbh file. Still no luck. Possibly because I have a 4GB sdhc card? Maybee the bootloader can't see it. I'll try that monday when I go into work and get my 2gb card. Anyone else have any ideas?
would not work with my 4gig either, works fine with 1gig and 2gig
Yep, worked fine from my 2GB card as well. Just doesn't like the SDHC cards. Thanks all!
Worked on my 512k which was formatted to fat 32.
I tried it on my 2 gig but didn't verify it was fat 32 first, adn it didnt' work.
oh well no sweat, it works.

My arc cannot recognize formatted SD cards, help?

I've tested two sandisk class 4 SD cards.
If I format it to fat32 and partition the space(to use link2SD), my phone refuses to use the SD card and says it's not there. I use minitools for partition and the official SD card maker software for formating. I did everything by the book and tried multiple options(different labels, ntfs, ext2, etc.)
A fresh, unallocated space card works perfectly fine however.
My phone is rooted and unlocked bootloader running softMIUI rom with a modfied power saving blend kernel.
Please help! This is confusing the hell out of me.
Was looking at your post and I decided to grab a few of my MicroSD card 1gb, 2gb, 4gb, 8gb and 16gb....
I formated all of them on windows .... right click format, all default settings... Fat32. These are MicroSD cards that have had information on them... they all run fin on my arc. All different brands.
This leads me to believe that there's possibly either something wrong with the MsD card or the reader on the phone.

Solved it
Did this:
Changed the partition id to this:
"0*06 fat16,greater than 32 mb"
and made the second partition fat32 as well.
Removed the 100mb linux swap file partition I created....not sure if that was necessary.

CWM Not detecting ONE of my SDHC cards (the other one works fine, wtf?)

I have a strange issue with CWM.
With my 4GB Micro SDHC card (formatted Fat32), CWM detects .zip files perfectly fine.
However, when I format my other Micro SDHC card (the 16GB one that came with my Nitro HD) and then copy the contents of the 4GB SDHC card to it, CWM does not detect any .zip files. The card works fine in Android, and I can see the .zip update files in FS File Explorer. But CWM is totally borked when I try to use this 16GB card, even though the card works fine otherwise. The 16GB card is also formatted in FAT32.
Any ideas? I've tried formatting the 16GB card within CWM, but it won't even format. CWM will say the format is done, but when I insert the card into my computer all the files are still there.

Download the official SD card formatter here: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ . Connect the SD card to your computer directly using a card reader, and use this program to format the card. It will do a deeper level format than what happens when you format the card with Windows. After that, the card should work fine in CWM.
This is a known issue with the SD cards that come with the Nitro. It's formatted in some weird way that causes issues, and one way to fix it is to use this application.

[Q] 32gb sd card issues. Missing files after partitioning 2nd ext.

Ok so. At first I thought it was the 32gb card I bought on ebay so I just returned it and bought another class 10 32gb adata card from another seller. This time I did a surface scan and chkdsk ahead of time to make sure everything checked out before I started using it. So as one partition as fat32, everything works fine, md5's verify successfully for nandroids after backing them up to external sd. Until I go to partition the sd card for fat32, and ext4, ext3, fat32 (tried every format). Tried mini partition, easus and Gparted outside of windows. Minitool shows it as "other" format when I try to partition the second ext4 partition. (which is odd)
After I do that, the fat32 begins to not show files that are copied to it. I noticed this while doing a routine nandroid through recovery, then when checking the cwmr folder on the external 32gb card, the files aren't there. NOW after reformatting and testing again, I'm getting the nandroids to show up, but the md5 verification fails.
I'm not sure on what the issue is. I just want to have a damn ext4 partition for mounts2sd.
Is there *anything* I can do further to verify if the card is in fact faulty aside from a surface scan test? Or is that sufficient?
Could it be my phone's sd card reader?
Could the kernel's "usb fast charge" enabled cause an issue?
I'm on the stock latest tmobile-samsung firmware, rooted.
Using stable kernel:
[KERNEL][3.0.90][Tiberius 4.1.2 T989UVMC6][Hercules]
Just to be sure I understand this correctly you want 2 partitions on an SD card? I would not recommend this personally as SD cards are not really designed for that...
But I could be misunderstanding you...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, so I can have a script for mounts2sd use the ext4 partition to install apps to.
However, I'm looking for the sure fire way to test your SD to see if it's faulty or not. Is a surface scan test enough? Is there more?
I guess it's gotta be the card.. Just thought it was odd that it happened with two brand new 32gb sd cards from separate sellers.
Just put in my 8gb and everything works fine, md5's match and everything...
Oh well, return time!
