SD Card Boot-Loader

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.

[Q] Custom Splash Screen [RESOLVED]

I recently rooted my phone via unrevoked3 and unrevokedforever and tried to flash a custom splash screen as instructed by their website under the unrevokedforever info page (I would post the link, but as a new user I cannot :/ )
After placing the .zip on the root of my sd card and booting it in hboot, the phone proceeds to attempt to load the file but continues to say the following:
"Loading... [insert file name here]
No image!"
or
"Loading... [insert file name here]
No image or wrong image!"
I'm at a loss as to why this might continue to happen. I assume its not the location of the file, otherwise the bootloader probably wouldn't have recognized it. I'm simply confused as to why it won't recognize any images.
For further help, I've attatched the .zip I'm attempting to use.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try redownloading the zip and make sure it's named correctly
Edit: typo and thanked you on accident lol

Just gave it a try, and still no luck... really confused at this point. :/

Make sure your SD Card is formatted to FAT32

Ah, that's interesting! Looks like my sd card is coming up as MS-DOS (FAT16).
Now, I know that formatting it would delete all the files on the card, but if I copy them onto my computer, reformat the drive, and then put everything back exactly the way it was, would that have any effect on my phone whatsoever?

Nope I do it all the time. Just put the on the comp somewhere format then put them back... Just dont boot the phone in between... Then things may get wonky

Just formatted the sd card with no issues, time to see if it will actually let me use a new splash screen... will update once I run hboot.
[UPDATE: Great success! I guess the sd card simply had to be reformatted to put in a new splash screen. Thanks everyone!]

Help rooting mytouch

This is tearing me apart!!!!

ESPRIMG not found error is usually fixed by reformatting your SD card, taking care to use the FAT32 format (not just FAT). Format your card and put everything you need back on it and try again...

Im a noob how do i do that.

I can't remember if it works to format the card with it in your phone or if you need to take the card out and plug it into your computer through a card reader .. think it works through the phone.
So plug your phone into you computer and make sure that the sd card contents are available through the computer (you might have to turn on the disk drive setting on your phone).
In Windows you would then right click on the drive for your phone's SD card and select format. Then make sure the format is set to FAT32.

Ok I've rooted every thing but I got a few problems
I get no cell phone service
And I want the slide rom not the nexus one and all I rooted for was to get the froyo ota for the slide that went unrealsed so if you can help I greatly love it thank you
heres the guide i used....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:HTC_Espresso.png
this is what i want....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928250

If all you want is the official Froyo update then you can now go download it directly from HTC. See the Offical Froyo is out on HTC site! thread.
Note that following that path will remove root from your phone.
If you would rather keep root you have a few other options. There are a few sense rom variants including the one you linked to.
If you already have root and have installed rom manager then you shouldn't have any trouble using that to install a new rom, create backups, etc.
Not sure what your comment about nexus 1 meant? You certainly cannot install a nexus rom on the slide. Did you mean the Cyanogenmod ROMs?

[Q] Nephew Screwed Up His Tablet(Help!)

My nephew tried to root his A100 and somehow ending up where now all he gets is the "recovery verified failed-spin forever" message. I have done some research on this forum and others and I am seeing some updates and such to put on the SD card to try and reboot the tablet to its factory settings. My problem is this-how do I access the SD card if the tablet won't boot? When I connect the USB to my laptop it doesnt recognize the mount(or whatever you call it) so I am unable to read or transfer files to the SD card.
I am using a blank SD card since he didnt have an external card of his own. So I guess my question is this-is there any way to read the SD card via USB that I am missing, or do I have to place the files from my laptop to the SD card directly, and then replace the SD card in his tablet(I hope this all makes sense!) Also, when it says to put the update.zip on the SD card, it is the whole zip file or the folder within?
Thanks so much for your patience. Im trying to save my nephews rear end because his mom is pretty mad he screwed up a new tablet that she spent good money for.

Was he running ICS or HC? Is he able to boot into recovery (most likely not, but that is needed to flash the ICS update)? See if he can remember what he did. You could place the sd card in a card reader and send the file directly to it. Yes, you place the entire zip file on the sd card (do not extract it).

Ask him which thread/method he tried to use. That should help figure out wat he was messing around with in the first place
Sent from my A100 using tapatalk

Ok thank you guys very much. I will call him tomorrow and find out what he did(or tried to do). Appreciate your help.

Ok...so he's not sure exactly what he did because he is saying his friend did it haha. I asked him to call his friend, but the friend was a kid he met at the skatepark and he doesnt know where he lives...hmmm... anyhoo, where does that leave me?
I put the zip file on my SD card from my phone and put it into the tablet, did the power on/volume up trick and got the same "spin forever" message. If anyone can walk me through another process I am open to putting in the time.
My next move(or last one) would be to call Acer and plead my nephew's case and hope they would honor the warranty(but then I would have to lend my nephew the money to ship the tablet back and forth haha because his mom won't pay for it!)
Again, thank you so much.

Did you try resetting it? This may be quite crazy but, you could try unlocking the bootloader, flashing a recovery, then flashing a rom.

Sometimes people rename the file and add an extra "zip" and that gives the error you describe. Take the file onto your computer (I am using Windows, and do not know Linux) right click and rename the file "update". Do not add zip.
Try that.

or they tried the acer recovery app from the market and borked the stock recovery. if thats the case youll have to find the thread crossix has the original files on and follow his instructions.

That could be the issue, but the method crossix gave to fix it requires it to be done through the terminal (so the device needs to be booted up for it to be done).

The zip file is named correctly(not with an additional .zip)..When you say to flash, I'm not sure what that means. Does that mean putting the files on the SD card through my computer? Also, yes, I did try resetting it and same result. I have submitted a service ticket to Acer waiting to hear back. Thanks for all your input, sorry to be such a noob..

No. To flash the file, you just need to place it on your external sd card, then boot into recovery (it seems like your's is corrupted though).

I ended up sending the Tablet in for service. Fingers crossed that will fix it free of charge under the warranty! Thanks again for everyone's help!

Hard Bricked Galaxy S3 i747 AT&T PLEASE HELP?

So I never got the 4.3 OTA BUT I did install the UCUEMJB Bootloader, but not the modem to use the 4.3 Dandroid Rom, about all month before that I was happily on CM11, and loved it. I try Dandroid because I hate Touchwiz so much, but thought this might cure my want to switch ROMs all the time.
I tried to port the Moto X 4.2.2 Rom, and decided to flash it. The phone came on once with the Samsung logo, Went off, and usually it would vibrate and vibrate meaning something is wrong, this time it just went off and didn't vibrate at all.
It is hard bricked from my understanding, but I have no way of getting a JTAG Done, and I'm waiting on a JIG I ordered, but this is becoming too long without a phone. I bought 3 100K Ohm resistors, and tried the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889128 and I can't seem to get it to work.
I tried the USB Debrick img for the JB Bootloader, but that didn't work neither. The battery is good, and works and everything, Just trying to rule out everything so many you can help me a little better.
Does anyone have any idea what to do? I can't afford a Riff box neither.. if I can get it fixed I'll just stick with one Rom this time, lol.
is there any way to JTAG without the Riff Box, or anything I can do? I'm willing to try anything at my power.
Thanks in Advance.

I have been looking at that all morning, so even if I flashed the Moto X Rom that was ported, I shouldn't need JTAG?
Also, let me get this straight.. I use WinDiskImager to put the img file on the SD card, via my SD card reader, and then Pull the battery, put in the SD card, put in the battery, and turn on the phone? because I've tried that and it doesn't work at all for me.. unless I'm missing something here, I'd love to know!

You are using a 16GB or larger card right?
You aren't trying to get the phone to power on just yet. Only trying to get to recovery mode so you can flash stock 4.3 stuff and get going again.
With that said...
It appears it is only about 70 percent successful. I have had reports from folks that said they had to write the .Img file several times in a row in their SD card slot in the computer to get it to work.
You may have to get a debrick file from someone running the same rom you were trying to flash.

When you plug your phone into your PC, do you get a box that pops up and reads something like "can't load drivers QHSUSB DLOAD"?? If so, this is what I did. I followed the instructions in this thread:

I used the AT&T image from this thread (I was on Paranoid Android 4.3, FYI):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345860
Worked just fine.
Now, the link in the post above me mentions Odin'ing back to 4.1 so you don't have to boot from your SD card anymore. I didn't do that. When mine booted, it booted into Recovery and I flashed my Paranoid Android 4.3 ROM and GApps. That worked fine and all my data was intact, but yeah, it meant That I'd have to boot from SD card every time. To get past that, I plugged my phone in, copied the AT&T .img file from my PC (note, I copied...I didn't image it. When you image it, it pulls files from the .img file and writes a partition containing them. You don't want to do that in this case) to a random internal SD card file folder on my phone. I had to do it that way cause that AT&T .img was too big to fit on my SD card imaged with the debrick boot files. I then I opened my file manager app on my phone and moved the .img file to the /SDCARD folder. From there I used the terminal emulator and followed the instructions from the link I posted first, typing
su
dd if=/sdcard/debrick.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
Took my SD card out. Restarted. It booted into recovery again, I flashed my PA 4.3 ROM and at that point I was able to boot without the SD card and didn't have to Odin back to an older version. Finally, I used the SD formatter here:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
And formatted my SD card back to allow full usage. Copied all my old files and pics back on it and I was straight!

is your SD card bigger than 8GB? That's what I have, and I'll try all of this and report back
My phone doesn't turn on at all, So You mean to copy the IMG file to the SD Card? or the files from the IMG File to the SD card? I am not able to get into any file managers and ADB can't read my phone at all :/

First off, you need a card larger than 8gb. It has to be at least 16gb. Mine was 32gb.
Second, to get it to turn on at all, you need to use the disk imager listed in the thread I posted. WinDiskManager or whatever it's called. Grab the AT&T .img file from the second link (that's the one that worked for me...not sure it will for you) and save it somewhere on your PC. Open the disk imager and choose the AT&T .img file, then use the drop down and select your SD card (whatever letter your PC assigned it) and finally, click "write". That will image the files contained in the .img file to your SD card and partition it as bootable. Put the SD card in your phone, turn it on, and it should turn on to recovery at least. Once we get there, we can tackle moving the .img file to where it needs to be on your phone so you don't have to boot from the SD card anymore.

Yes exactly it is mandatory that your card MUST be 16 gb or bigger. What we are doing is mimicking the internal storage on the phone and tricking the phone into booting into recovery to fix what we messed up. Walmart has fairly cheap SD cards. They're cheaper than $50 to get a jtag and faster too.

Did you image the SD card with this program?:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
After you image it, check your SD card in Windows Explorer and verify there are files on it. There should be quite a few.
If you did and the image you tried to flash didn't work, did you try the AT&T image that I linked to in my first post? This one?

Yes...that's correct. My SD card had numerous files in a folder named "Image", so it seems you're doing that portion correctly.

No tricks to it? I even tried using dd in linux, still nothing. If all fails I hope the jig works that I ordered. I was porting that Moto X rom from a Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 Base, but had swapped out mostly permissions and framework, I didn't touch the boot.img or anything like that.. I did kind of touch up on the updater-script, but still I don't see how that'd brick it, usually it'd give me a status7 or something if it didnt work, or even vibrate, turn on, then vibrate twice and restart, till I'd put it back into recovery, but with that 4.3 Rom I was throwing root issues, and every time I re-flashed it, I had to re isntall CWM
Yeah, just uncovered a new chapter of the story.. lol Hopefully we can work with this at all.
I tried to downgrade to a 4.2.2 Version from 4.3, and had a 4.3 Bootloader,
before all of this I was happily on the CM11 Rom, and should have stuck with it.. Curiosity killed the kitkat.
