HELP to flash through SD card (BlueAngel)

Can anyone show how to flash through SD card my Blue Angel please...from wm03 to wm06? I was searching on wiki but there says nothignn about SD CARD... Can anyone simply show me how to do that? Which ROM to install and that stuff... MANY THANKS
never heard before flashing BA from SD,
Sorry...
i dont have cabel for connecting with PC :-(... and here i Serbia i cant buy a new one so i will never install WM06 :-(... Any HELP
At this point, your only options are:
find a cable if you want to flash the phone
send it to someone who has a cable so they can flash it for you and send it back
Hard reset
In case you have a preproduction HERMES and you can not update the ROM (due to the fact that your bootloader is <1.04) here the very easy solution:
***info removed, wrong device or mis-informed***
This also works for normal (non preproduction) devices but keep in mind that if the CID does not match the flashing might not work.

first charge the battery with an external battery charger(you must buy one) and then flash any firmware to make it bootable and wait for a us firmware.

that doesnt help anything, since the battery is not charged enough to flash the phone, and pulling it in and putting in back again wont charge it.
@OP: please search before posting, theres an entire thread about this:

Here is original US Tmobile sbf http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...1028.0R_JORDANTMO_P022_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz
This is stock eclair (android 2.1) after you flash it you can do OTA update to official froyo!
BTW: US stock eclair 2.1 has CG=4 so you can always flash this eclair SBF regardless of what rom you are coming from unless you flash SBF with CG=5 which is what the FULL GB sbf's are. Never flash full GB sbf unless you don't plan on ever downgrading.

Ah that's my bad, I'm on a custom ROM.
Stock might not have it, if you really need it flash a ROM.

Yes it also works on stock. I've used OTG quite a bit and have had zero problems.
OP probably needs to check his OTG cable and / or make sure whatever he is attempting to use doesn't require more power than the phone can give.
@zaki aziz , What variant of the 816 do you have? I know the 816G is lacking a lot of the features that are in the 816.

That is incorrect. I use OTG and am still on stock rom. Like I said in a reply above, maybe your OTG cable is messed up or perhaps you're trying to run a drive that requires too much power? I've run mice and flash drives on my OTG cable with zero problems. Lastly, do you have an 816 or an 816G?

Tab S SM T700 wi5h 3G availability? ??

Hello guys,
Yesterday i was trying to reseat my battery due to have a better battery peforma ce but i realized that wifi only model Tab S 8.4 has a hidden SIM slot under the hood.
So is it possible to port T705 Rom to this fella and make 3g work?
Thanks....

Are you sure it wasn't the sd card slot? Pics please.

Yeap i am sure, actually there are 2 slots one is written sd card support and one is sim slot you can see it in the pic.
So can you actually put a SIM card in it? It looks like it is in the same place as the t805.

Yess i tried to put my sim card in it it did fit, eventually when i power on my tab nothing changed so maybe we can port T705 rom to T700. But there are aome questions of course like wifi only model does not have imei number
You Probably would need more than just the Rom. You don't have an imei number as that is stored in the EFS partition. In yours you won't have the data for 3g just WiFi and Bluetooth.
I could probably upload my EFS partition, but first I'd have to make sure my imei and serial number are removed.
Also you would need to flash the Radio partition.
I suggest before messing, you make a full backup of your partitions with twrp.
In fact I'd make a complete device partition backup with EFS PRO
I wonder if all WiFi tabs have this? I find it strange no one else has reported it.

Well you are right it is not so easy to turn 3g on, and i am not a tech man at all, so maybe someone would try this thing and i will be happy to be the first one to try,
I think all T700sa00s are the same, due to improve efficiency samsung build both 3g and wifi version same and load different os.
Having the slot for sim card does not mean it has a 3g/4g hardware module installed.

Sure but how can we find that module ?
If there is it is worth to shot, in my country (turkey) samsung does not sell 3g version

True, I would download one download one of the hardware Info apps and see what it reports.
The app System info for Android does not find any telephony specs on my T700. Obviously on my LG G3 it did.

That's an interesting discovery. It may require some work to test functionality, maybe someone working with the T-705 or T-805 can provide some guidance on their hardware and telephony setup.
Folks, the SIM slot found on the SM-T700 is empty , there's nothing there to support a SIM, its just a placeholder. Making any attempt to add cellular capabilities will required both hardware and software modifications.
Thought as much. You can add 3g anyway using an app called pp widget.
Works on my tab s t805 if I disable 3g and use this.

Is it possible to upgrade custom ROM without USB functionality?

Hello all,
I have an HTC ONE M8 that is currently running a Kit Kat Venom rom. I want to update to something newer but my USB port doesn't work for data transfers etc, only can charge with it. I have only seen steps to update involving using PC, am I out of luck?
I also do not have my stock rom back anymore (laptop died and lost all information) , and the phone was originally bought in Kuwait so I am not sure how I go about getting the stock ROM back...

If you are already running venom then you are rooted so it should be fairly easy to do it from your phone. You need to know which firmware you will need, I'm guessing you probably have a European model.
I have a Verizon phone so the firmware is different but the process should be the same. I found my firmware and downloaded it directly to my phone, placed it in the root of the SD card (not in a folder), renamed it, rebooted to the bootloader, it recognized the renamed firmware and installed it. For my phone there were stock marshmallow sense ROM's that were prerooted and it was the same process, you download it to your phone, place it in the root of the SD card (not in a folder), rename it, reboot to bootloader and it should recognize it and install it.
Once you have successfully flashed it, then delete it or your phone will Try to install it every time you boot to the bootloader.
Is your USB Port physically damaged? If not then it could be dirty, have you tried blowing it out with compressed air?
And after you update your firmware you will probably need to update your recovery image (TWRP, etc).
I had read that many international models with GSM radios may be able to use the developer edition from the HTC website. There may be more info in the venom forum, at their website or at the HTC site. However, I would recommend you research it before giving it a try.
You need to find out what firmware you need and find the correct forum.
Good luck.

Thanks! I will do some research to see which firmware I need. When you say you renamed it after putting it on your SD card, what did you rename it to?
I tried cleaning out my USB port, with canned air , but no luck. If I plug in an OTG cable in it will detect that it is an OTG cable, but it wont read anything from there. I believe I will have to replace the charging port, fortunately for the M8 it is separate from the main board. Also, another indication I believe it is a faulty USB charge port is that it seems to take forever to charge..

For my Verizon phone the image had to be named OP6BIMG.ZIP. It may be the standard name but once you find the correct firmware thread it will most likely tell you what to name it. And remember, the system will most likely add the "zip" part to the end of the name so double check it after you rename it to see that it is not named ".zip.zip" before you go into the bootloader.
