Hi just got a 32mb, and im wondering is it possible to restore my ROM image onto a 64 mb?
will OS image do this for, or will it not work on a 64MB?
It will work ok.
do i need to image it to an SD card to to a file? I think I tried a file before and it failed. Is an SD image more reilable?
Thanks
yes
cool, il do it tomorrow. thanks guys

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....

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!

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,
I have a low-rom-memory device (32mb) which comes with wince 5 installed, I would like to move the OS from the rom to a SD card which would be bootable.
I just need to figure out how can I make the bootloader to boot wince from the SD card.I think I have u-boot.
Shinelco 3500 gps navigator, CPU Atlas II 300mhz, 64mb ram, 32mb rom, 512mb integrated nand flash.
Thanks a lot!

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!

Hi guys,
I recently got an old htc explorer and i am trying to make it possible to live with. I have a 64 GB sd card installed and i want to install Fly rom on it cause it has excellent reviews. When i try to partition my sd card using mini partition wizard the program wont allow me and when i try to do it using recovery image (A310, TWRP, CWM) it says complete but when i mount sd-ext it says error mounting. Anw i copied the files needed for this rom in my sd card (which is FAT32 formatted) and i install the rom. But the process gets stuck in boot screen and nothing happens .. What i' m i doing wrong?

If you format it to FAT32 you can use it!
