OK. Have a Dell X51V. Tyring to download some of the updated ROMs. I've downloaded a couple ROMs but can't seem to load them. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. This ois what I'm doing:
Download ROM
Unzip to folder
format 512 MB SD card (fat32)
copy zip contents (.nb0 and .crc) to root of SD card
insert SD card into PDA
wireless button + power button + reset
I see the ROM loader screen (SD Image Update A10_G4) but I do not see a list of available ROMs to pick from so I can't load any of them...
Anyone have an idea?
| have exactly the same problem. Can anyone help please?
Sounds like you're doing everything correctly. All I can suggest is to try using another SD Card (but stay away from SDHC - they won't work).

I upgraded my T-Mobile with PPC 2002 to the WM 2003 final ROM cooked in Lumpi Stephan's kitchen.
Ever since then, if I try and deploy a Visual Studio.Net application to the device, it more often then not says it can not establish a connection with the device, even though Active Sync is connected and synched up.
This problem is preventing me from trying to put on another ROM via USB craddle using Jeff's OSIMage Tool.
I do understand I can use an SD card to upgrade the ROM, however that doesn't solve the connection problems.
Does anyone have any idea why I'd be getting this error and any suggestions on how to fix it?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Have you tried flashing with sd card using xdatools and nbf file with sd memory card?
how do I use the SD card?
I just ordered a card to see if I can resolve this issue....
Here is my scenario. I don't have a SD card reader on my computer. But I do have two PPC's - one that is working with Active sync and XDATools recognizes, and one that XDATools isn't seeing though Active Sync IS seeing it.
Can I use XDATools to put the ROM on my desktop to the SD card that is inserted into my working PPC, then put the SD card into my half-assed working PPC and install it somehow (of how to do that I am clueless)?
Suggestions? Answers?
Thank you much
You need to download a rom and choose sd card flashing at the base of screen before flashing, you will then unzip the downloaded file, you will have an nbf file, this file will be used by xdatools to program the sd card in the card reader on your pc, When using xdatools, choose the nbf file as source and choose the sd card in the reader from the drop down menu under destination, once it is programmed you insert the card to the phone, push reset while holding power, push centre of 4 way rocker switch when prompted, once finished push once in hole below headset socket, wait one minute and push once more, your phone should now reboot with the new rom.
I've got a Tilt 2 with hard spl and can flash from my desktop no problem. I'd like to get the flashing via SD card going, but it's hanging.
I've got the nbh file copied to the root of my SD card, get the phone into bootloader, but I see a message flash up about no image. It's very quick though and then the phone hangs in the bootloader. A soft reset fixes it and the phone boots up.
I'm clearly missing something and can't figure out for the life of me what it is.
The image file is named correctly. It was copied to the phone through WMDC to the SD card. Should I put the phone into disk mode a copy the image over?
The SD card is formated in Fat 32.
Any thoughts/Advise?
Thanks.
maybe..
i had this issue before - check your .nbh file with total commander, or put it in your pc and check it. if you name it .nbh with the wm file explorer, it actually ends up RHODIMG.nbh.nbh - solution is just to remove one .nbh!
:::Whimper:::
I'm having this exact same problem!
My RHODIMG file is named correctly and in the root directory (there is nothing else on the SD card either), but I get that same EXTREMELY BRIEF message about no IMG file and then it hangs at the bootloader screen with 'Serial' in the white box on the bottom.
I've even tried using Mobile Flasher, but nothing is working. I
What am I missing??? I've tried it many times already, formatted my card a few times and loaded the RHODIMG file again, but nothing! My Rhodium will NOT connect via USB anymore, so I need to flash via SD card.
Help!
Debbie
I actually don't even rename the file, it's already got that name from the rom. It's e2 manilla 2.5 rom.
I'll try and transfer the file to the card when the phone in disk mode and see if that makes a difference...
O-M-G(!), this is *so* freakin' wacky!!!
I just switched SD cards to one that was larger (8GB rather than the 2GB), that had tons of stuff on it, then copied the RHODIMG file in the root, and then ran 'enablerapinew.cab' again, just for the hell of it...
Damned device found the RHODIMG file there from the bootloader and the update ran as expected, but not on the 2GB card with nothing else on it! WTH?!
Device says that the update is complete, so I'm booting up now and will do a few resets and then perform the tedious task of setting up my Tilt 2, etc.
Don't know whether the cab (thought I only had to run this once when Hard SPLing?) or the different card was what caused it to work, but I hope this helps someone else with the same problem. Whew!
Debbie
...Who's back in business!
SOLVED!
I don't know what caused the magic, but I was able to flash from SD card... FINALLY!
Here's what I did: Flashing Via SD Card Assistance
Hope this helps others!
Debbie
No, this did not work for me. I tried installing the cab again, but no luck, just passes on by saying no image.
Delete image off sd card, reformat FAT32 and copy image back on... I have had this problem myself, it seems that when the .nbh file copies it doesn't register on the card properly or something. Either deleting the file then re-copying seems to work but I still like to reformat too..... DON'T just copy over the top of the image file... THIS DOESN'T WORK... leads to a lot of hair pulling frustration...
Cheers...
So I tried a reformat of the card, just a quick one, not full. Still didn't work. I downloaded another image to try out, the lastest Energy rom, to flash on a completely blank card. That didn't work.
So, I went and got an older card, 8 gig, that is currently being used in a camera. The one I use now is a 16 gig card. This one worked fine.
Conclusions being perhaps a 16 gig card won't work for flashing?
brands
i have heard of certain brands having sizes that didn't work for flashing, for whatever reason. It was a long time ago on my kaiser, so i don't remember which it was, but kingston 2gb comes to mind. like i said, don't know if that is accurate, but there definitely were some that just wouldn't work. perhaps a different brand 16gb?
Well, I used the other memory stick, a Scandisk and this worked fine. Must be something with the 16 gig Kingston disk as it just will not work.
I am having a strange problem when I try to flash a rom. When I boot into recovery and choose file from SD card it is showing a listing of files that do not correspond to what is on the SD card, they are an old listing of files.
If I take out the SD card and go in it correctly shows no files. I have done a complete format of the SD card and put the ROM on and I can see it fine in Windows but when i reboot the old files are listed....Also I can see the correct ROM ok within the phone when using ROM Manager but then it reboots into recovery and then can't find the file!!
It must be some issue with the SD card any idea how i can fix it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Have you rooted you phone eg. with unrevoked 3...?
Yes I have, everything has been working great until now.
I can still use everything in the phone and apps2sd+ is working. Astro file manager lists files on sd card.
but in recovery there are old folders and an old rom that i flashed a while ago.
WTF
i think flash orginal again...maybe from provider´s site (on my o2 site is a original) or from xda devs rom´s thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
and start from zero:
unrevoke again....change radio...change rom...
with kind regards...Alex
edit: if you don´t have it...make a ext3 with rom manager
recreated the partitions in linux and everything is ok now...strange
When i try to download some files (not using market) it says that i need SD card. How to fix it?
Does anyone experience this problem too? I just cant download most of the files unless i can find them on the market. Why does it say i have no sd card whhy i have, i cant even run android without it.
1.-Backup SD card to your computer
2.-Download HP format tool (google) and format sdcard FAT32+FULL FORMAT
3.-Restore sd card contents
4.-Try again.
Also, which build are you using? XDAndroid or neopeek variants?
I am using xdandroid posted by aaarghh
From THIS thread? That has the most up-to-date and working package build, to my knowledge.
Give it a once over and leave some feedback. Format FAT32 is suggested.
I have formated and cleared sd card. Downloaded the package with new android and problem still occurs :/.
Even if i go to setting-location and security-install from sd card it says that sd card isnt present. It says there is no sd card under SD CARD/PHONE STORAGE(or something like that) too.
-Where should i put apk file to install it?
You are using an at&t Fuze/RAPH110/TP, right?
You can put the APK under the folder called AndroidApps
Additionally, make sure you are using something other than the windows format tool. (FAT32 ofc). Also, I've heard of these situations (not able to download from Market) with the earlier builds such as Eclair and Donut but very rarely with FroYo. Not saying that it is impossible, just that you are the first person I have attampted to help with this issue
I just bought a 16gb class 10 sd card. Now I am using the one that came with the phone. I thought I can copy and paste the files on the 8gig card to the 16 gig card and should be all set. I copied all files to the new card and the phone doesnt want to boot up. I believe to have a ext on the card that i am using now but I dont know if that matters. If I do have an ext or partition on the card, how can I find out? Any suggestions?? Thanks..
Format the new card, put it in the phone and boot up, then copy everything from the 8 gig
thank you...I will try that..
Let the PHONE format the card. then pull the card and copy only the selected needed files. nothing more. :-D but yeah. a class 10 card IS WHAT SHOULD have been installed in our phones. our phone doesn't support the max speed. but it is truely faster even when connected to the USB port. I tested before and after and did see a difference in speed. But for the normal use, it won't help. lol
its worked....Thank you
"...then pull the card and copy only the selected needed files. nothing more."
Could you (or anyone knowledgeable) elaborate on what the "needed files" are, please? I'm asking because my SD card just recently crapped out on me. Entirely. Crapped. Out. I couldn't even get my pc to pick it up w/ an adapter. However, the good news is that I recently did a nandroid backup and had copied it, along with all of my pics and vids to my PC.
So, I now have a brand new SD card and a folder on my PC that contains my recent nandroid, a bunch of pics, and some vids, but nothing else. I never bothered moving all of the other files to my PC. In hindsight, I guess I was prepared for a flashing fail, but not for an SD card fail
My question is this: What additional files do I need to move to my sd card to keep operating smoothly, including future rom-flashing and nandroid backups?
Do I need to add a recovery file (Amon RA or CWM) manually? Or can I just re-download CWM from the market and flash alternate recovery? What other important files am I forgetting?
Thanks.
