I'm trying to flash stock WW Nougat ROM onto my UK Three P2 from an unencrypted SD card but it says file is encrypted and fails. I've renamed file update.zip and tried it on a few cards all with the same problem.
Can anyone help?

Maybe download it again. Download it on a pc and format card prior to copying it to card and put card in phone while off etc as phone encrypts it I think soon as inserted. Just did my wife's and had to re format the card that was in my p2 as above or it failed.
i had the same issue with the three uk edition its because the phone keeps the file encrypted when downloading directly to device you need to download it on a laptop or pc (ect) and then move it over to the device through a sd card (take it out the phone) it will work then if you change the name of the rom zip file to UPDATE.zip (must be capital's) it took me 2 weeks to figure it out the phone has same kind of block on it being oem unlocked on a few devices (comes up with some weird things in bootloader mode)
Update don't need to be capitals.

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 ?????
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?

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
I tried installing the nfl unlocker 64 file by changing the zip to apk and attmepting to install it. Well it didn't work and right afterward I got an ! mark and it said card in read mode only. So I cannot delete, edit...files etc on the sd card. I am at work. No way to connect it to the pc to back up the sd card to try reformatting it, does anyone know any other ways to get this read mode off? I do have terminal emulator installed.
TIA
Yep this has happened thrice to me. Others have experienced this also after froyo.
One or two have stated trying to fix the card error using windows scan disk (if you have access to a pc) fixed the error. I have had success by copying the card image file, inserting the card into a card reader on the ltop, formatting the card there, then restoring the backed up image.
Aa stated this happened to me more than once. Has not happened in a few weeks.

is that using the command chkdisk F ??
Also...hwo do you save the image file?
While on the below thread .. I eventually ended up making my TWRP to format my data, system, cache, as well as internal storage!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46522379&postcount=364
Now it is all gone. successfully.
Note, when i formatted the internal storage - it did ask me to restart to update the partition tables. I did that. I warned me that there is no OS. I went ahead and restarted in recovery. I could browse using TWRP->advanced->file manager and see the zips on external sd card.
I had gapps and rom zip files copied on external SD card. When I try to flash those in TWRP, it throws an error - E: unable to open zip file!
Now I can not flash any of those! there is no OS also on the phone! I suspect that the external SD card is corrupt! I have good zip files on my computer (it has no working sd card reader).
Is there any way, i can transfer these zip files from my computer to phone's internal storage from where i can flash them?
please help!

There's no way to effectively access internal SD without having been mounted first.
But there are two ways you can do this.
1. Take the MicroSD Card and insert into the PC via Card Readers.Then copy the zip files there. Properly eject the card from PC then insert it into the phone. Now TWRP will recognize the files and flash them. If it still does not then its a bad download so download again. Also while there, get the MD5 values as well for your zip files. This allows the recovery to validate the files. If you still have errors then roll back TWRP to version 2.5.0.0
2. Put phone in download mode. Use Odin on PC to flash one of the rooted stock roms. After that, proceed to re-download on phone and try again.
P.S. - I typically never let Recovery to format my external card. Then the file system issues start popping up.
EDIT - I noticed from your other post that your PC does not have a working SD Card Slot. In that case, you could put the card in another phone and then copy the files to this sd card and then use that way.

How do I flash CM or MIUI ROM using odin? I am trying to search the forums but unable to find anything! odin needs a tar file and all these roms come with zip file! What do I do?
You can't unless the dev specifically made an Odin flashable version, which they never do. Flash the stock root66 firmware with odin.
You can't access the internal storage simply because it's not there anymore. When you chose to format data, it completely wiped out the /data partition. Your internal sd is really located at /data/media, but until you can reboot, this won't be recreated.
I doubt the external sd is corrupt or you would've seen issues before your wiping frenzy. But you can use adb while in recovery to connect the phone to your computer. Search for adb sdk install guide, or similar.
Best option now is to try Odin flashing the root66 firmware.
Oh, and you probably know by now, but never format system! This should only be a last resort type thing imo. Never understood why people recommend it for things like prepping for a Rom flash. The Rom will format system during install anyway.

I used this
http://apcmag.com/how-to-unroot-your-galaxy-s3-and-flash-it-back-to-stock-rom.htm
and got the stock rom back. appeared like that was the only way to get back to running system. Now it's alright.
to my surprise, following problems disappeared.
1. The SD card no more automatically ejects!
2. battery lasts longer!
3. no random reboots at all!
never thought .. i would feel good getting back to stock rom !
Isn't that exactly what we were telling you to do in the first place though? Use odin to flash stock/root66 firmware? I think you just took the long way is all. I also have all that firmware hosted so people could download it much faster than by using sammobile or samsung-updates hotfile downloads.
Either way though, glad you got it running again!
Just posting so others know if they come across this in the future.

yes guru! you said it.
I tried adb route too ... but for some reason it never detected my device. I tried removing, installing drivers, getting sdk and all. then tried the odin route.
Now will stay with this rom for some days ... before I get back to MIUI ... want to see it working ... for some reason it was continuously making my phone reboot! now that it is a clean slate, i hope this time, it will work!
fingers crossed!
If you want to try adb again for anything in the future, there's a different driver pkg that would probably help there. Adb universal drivers. Theyre in my driver repo with the rest if you ever need them.

Did you try this?
I remember from the M8 days that you could flash a firmware through an external SD card by renaming it to a specific file name. I was wondering if this is possible on the HTC 10. Would be really convenient in the future.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2824048
It is.
2PS6IMG.zip
Be sure the android-info.txt is correct.
Zip normal compression is fine.
So you can confirm this does work? I loved having this back in the M8 days. It made updating firmwares a piece of cake.
I tried I couldn't get it to work. The file path it looks for is extsd and my phone doesnt label the card that. I tried to change the file name of my card to no avail. Any insight?
My sdCard is named 49C5-B086 and I put the file in Root there and it still works, says sd_ext in Download Mode.
So I guess my card isn't formatted to fat32. So how would I reformat my card
So basically it is not as easy as it once was? Before, you would just rename the file on your ext SD card and boot to hboot and it would automatically update for you.
Ive tried this with my VZW HTC 10. It appears to have flashed correctly, but when I reboot, my phone still shows to be on the older firmware. Any ideas?

Check your download mode. There is displayed the firmware number, you are probably referring to the software version in settings.
So now you have the new firmware and the old software. Those are 2 completely different things !
