Cloning a 32Mb onto a 64MB XDA - General Topics

Hi just got a 32mb, and im wondering is it possible to restore my ROM image onto a 64 mb?

ROM Dumping problem

Hi,
I have a 1GB SD card which i use with my magician. the problem is that if i dump my ROM it uses the whole SD card which means that when i read the ROM i get a 976MB file which i know is far more than the actual size of the ROM. When i used the MKBigstorage to remove the extended storage i ended up with a 27MB file. my question is is there a way to reduce the size of the ROM to the actual size on the device?
many thanks in advance
It's an issue of ntrw. You could cut the dumped file manually using an hexeditor....
You can search after HTCE and cut off the file afterwards....

URGENT HELP RE EXE ROM & 4gig SD Card

HI.. m Oicnev.. this is regarding extracting the files from the EXE rom.. have download both the 131 and 132 (a later version, as told), but couldn't extract the files.
Have tried using winrar and winzip, but to no avail.. tried right-clicking, but no option to extract, only add to archive.. tried accessing from within winrar. there was the option to extract, but it always returned, no archive file/s in there..
tried running the EXE rom, it ran, posted extracting files, and the showed its dialog box.. then, as told, it returned an error in the end..
i used netants as downloader..
is there anything i further need to do to be able to extract the files? Is there any other way i could get the files? PLS HELP!!!
ALSO, i bought a 4gig SD Card.. the problem is my xda mini couldn't access it, unless, as it prompted, it formats it "to make it readable." This i did, and yes it became readable, but it got converted to 2.1gig. i returned it to the seller, had it replaced, thank goodness the seller was kind.. but now, i don't know what to do.. the SD Card is accessible as 4gig from my card reader though... will the rom upgrade fix the problem? Is there any other software that i need to have? PLS HELP!!!
MANY MANY THANKS, in advance!
You used one of the ROMs from this site's FTP right? I've tried several and all of them extract just fine! If you're looking for the latest ROM that is used widely without any problems, 1.13 T-Mobile ROM, that can be found here.
From there you can use kta's + ampda's guides or my own guide to run you through the upgrade process!
Thanks... only that... Stil problem - 4gig SD Card vs. Mini
Ey, know what, i finally solved my puzzle re EXE ROM.. have managed to extract the files... i tried running the EXE file, clicking next til the last one before it would start to upgrade, but without clicking it (i read from one of your guides).. then i searched for the files in my hidden windows temp folders... found them.. and ran the upgrade.. It went perfectly, i liked it..
But my BIG other problem remained.. still, my XDA Mini couldn't access my 4gig SD Card, despite all the upgrades.. it was still prompting me to format it (beccause it couldn't read it), which must not be done, coz it will convert it to 2.1gig.
I read in one forum to try partitioning the SD Card into two 2gig partitions.. i found it sound.. i followed the instructions.. i ran "compmgmt.msc" from my pc through "start/run".. I was trying to make the first step of deleting the partition through 'Disk Management', but to no avail.. Yes, there was a 'delete partition' option shown in the menus, but unlit; meaning option not available.. So, i was already stalled, couldn't proceed anymore...
Anyone with more options out there? please help...
Many thanks
Your device formatted the memory card as FAT16. This is only supported up to 2 GB:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#Final_FAT16
Just format the memory card with your card reader as "FAT32" and you will have 4 GB capacity.
RE FAT16
Hi... i checked through my card reader.. its in fat32 format...
@esackbauer,
are you sure the fat16 fat32 topic is the answer to the problems with 4 gig cards? to mee, it doesnt seem so!

Flashing via SD card

Hey there,
I have a universal with a dud USB port. I've been trying to upgrade it from tomal 8.5 to 8.8 using the SD card method, but I've had no luck.
I've fat 32 formatted the card and unrar'd tomal's rom and put the nk.nbf file on the card (I renamed the file to UNIVIMG.NBF).
I then put it into bootloader mode but have had no luck getting it to flash...
My questions:
Does the file to be flashed need to be an nbf or an nbh file?
If it needs to be and nbh file, how can I convert it?
If not, why is it not working? Maybe I have the wrong file name?
Thanks

Hello people,

After reading you que , ihad google in our froum but nither result found..
Its defintly cool to have os on mmc..

You experts!
No there is no way to do that.
First I should learn a bit more about your device, what the possiblillities are, before just flashing some roms.
Good luck!

If you format it to FAT32 you can use it!
