Hi
Is there any way to update my Himalaya Using SD Card ???!!!
like Qtek 1010 opening device in bootloader then inserting the card that contain the rom
is there any way to do the same thing to update Himalaya to 2003se or 2005 ??!!!
Thanks for your help
my question is, why you didn't use your PC ?

......there is a way to flash the XDA system rom from an SD card, in fact it is
quite easy IF you have already flashed the ROM via USB in the usual way and
then use the bootloader to dump it to a spare SD card. In fact I tested it and
it works perfectly. Even flashed my XDAII with 3.5b.40CS ROM from SD card
in under 5 minutes and with no connection to PC of course. In fact I took a
silly risk and did it unpowered too (just don't tell anyone - ok)
This means in theory I could dump my WM5 ROM to SD card. Copy the raw
data to a file and give you instructions to make your own SD ROM image to
flash your XDA via the SD socket. but.....
Unfortunately I think there is another catch. I only have one XDA so I can't
test this, but I believe when you dump a system ROM using the "d2s" bootloader
command it sticks a 411 byte header to the SD card. This appears to contain
system/SD card specific info / crc data which is generated by the bootloader
program. I assume this is to stop someone accidently (or purposely) loading
a system ROM from one XDA to another. I'm thinking your XDA would reject
the SD card as invalid (although I don't know for sure)
but...I also think there is a way round this. If you can create an SD dump of
the ROM that is already in your XDA (which you should do anyway as a
precaution) then you could strip the 411 byte header from your SD card image
and write it over the top of the header in the image I give you. Then this
should flash ok (it might fail the checksum at the end, but should flash ok)
BUT (and this is the real problem) If your serial / USB link on the XDA is damaged
I can't think of a way to instruct the bootloader to dump your header + ROM
image to the SD card. We've sort of come full circle. You need to update ROM
via SD card because your USB connection is broken, but you can't get a
SD dump header because you need the USB connection.
The only ways round this would be for someone to dissamble the bootloader code
and maybe write a PPC app to create a valid header record.
Anybody got any ideas?

I know this Idea. Once, I have tried to back up my WM2003 sistem to my SD card use d2s command using mtty software. Actually in theory I succeed to make back up image in SD Card and if there is something happen, I just flash by SD card. But I have never tried this step, because I succeed to install WM5.
In that time I make image system from my PDA. But in this case, MohamedYousri need such as thing system, not from PDA but from PC. But I don't know how to make image files from PC. If there is somebody can tell how to make it, I agree with you. I think it is possible to flash from SD card.
Another way MohamedYousri should make image from another PDA (with WM5 sistem) and put it in his device

Do you mean to upgrade XDAII with WM05 and then make an SD image and flash my XDAII ??
Do you think that will work ??!!

If some body have XDA II with WM5, and then you back up /make an image in SD card. And with that card flash your XDA II, I think in theory it should work. but I never try this way, because my device still work well
There is a development tool by SBP called 'clone'... It will clone identical devices but it is commercial and expensive... but SBP provide a trial version:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/clone/?en
I hope this help........
Features
* One device is configured, the rest are subject to clone
* The average device cloning time is about 3 minutes.
* Self-extracting and self-executing image file on an SD card
* Assigned location of the target clone image files
* Providing individual names and IP addresses for clones.

Would you please give step by step guide how did you dump to the SD card, and how did flash XDAii from SD card?
Thank you

That clones everything from the location of your first clicks on the Welcome screen up to everything you installed, your data, your settings, your registry tweaks, your skins, you can even select if you want to restore the date and time of the clone or leave the new device's time intact.
But it does not clone the OS or anything in ROM.
After some bad experiences both with Activesync backup and with another commercial backup, I only trust Clone. And next week I'm going to use it to transfer my software and settings to another Himalaya. Disadvantage: I'll have to remove all my personal files (contacts, tasks...) from that other device.
Hello,
So is there any way, how to flash my XDA2 via SD card ? My data connector is broken, so I completely cannot use computer/USB connection. I mean some program, which transfers *.nbf files to SD card in form, that is understandable for XDA2's bootloader etc. Or if some developer like helmi, buzz,... can convert last WM6 ROMs to SD-image form.
Thanks
not that i know of
when I try to enter Boot loader in VOX ..... the first msg on the screen says searching for SD card... and it enters the Bootloader mode......the Color strips....
but nothing happens after that ..!!!!
any suggestions ??
What do you want to do?
I am trying to load the HTC diagnostic file.....named as vox0diag.nbh
please see my earlier post for trying to Format FAt of my Vox and suggest.
thanx
Why would you want to format your Vox? I know it loads vox0img.nbh through the boot loader, I don't know if it does that with this file naming scheme!
thanx for the Quick reply....
this a diagnostic file that HTC service centers use for VOX.
I read about it in the Technical Manual of VOX that laid my hands on thru' a friend of mine.
My VOX is dropping calls i,e. you can hear the Phone Ring but I have NO Indication that I hav an incoming call.
I thought that Formating and then loading a New ROM with New Radio Version could perhaps solve the problem....
BTW I hav tried nearly all ROM's and Radio Version's available on the XDA:FTP
That is why all this exercise....
any more help will be really appreciated...

/QUOTE]
sd should be formatted as fat16 - fat32 or cards bigger than 2gb may not work
if u want just format sd card then use wmstorage and under windows mount phone as external disk - .. just format it as normal removable disk
can you put this file somewhere for download ?

Check it out
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=vox_sdcardflashing
Some confusion here it seems:
@indtram:
Did you get your hands on a vox0diag.nbh file or did you just read about this in the manual?
Regarding Flashing via the boot loader:
1.) the card must be a NON-SDHC card, i.e. 2GB or smaller
2.) this card must be FAT or FAT32 formatted, NTFS is no option
3.) the flash file must be named vox0img.nbh for normal flash files
4.) the bootloader will ONLY load correctly signed .nbh files - cooked ones don't work
5.) if the card carries the right "Gold key" in its boot sector, the bootloader will allow also vendor independent flashing - yet correctly signed is a must, at least for the normal boot-loaders that come with official ROMs.
If anyone has got hold on this vox0diag.nbh, please put it to the XDA FTP.
I tried searching for help, but can to a dead end. After I installed JF 1.5 and the phone rebooted, it just hangs on the G1 Tmobile boot screen.... I can restart it and load into recovery but get E: cant mount dev/block/.. I also tried the DREAIMG.NBH but when ever I try to load it (Power+Camera) I get "No Image Found!"... I dont know if it cant find the recovery_testkeys or if it was screwed up during the installation process... It does boot so im guessing no brick.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated
*EDIT*: SOLVED, I downloaded the DREAIMG-29.img, renamed the file with a .nbh extension, and bought a SD READER to MAC 4gig San Disk Card. IT ENDED UP BEING THE NEW CARD and READER THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE!
http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1/DREAIMG-RC29.zip (Rename DREAIMG.NBH..
Hope this helps this pesky problem
maybe
It might be that it's not reading the sdcard right to read image to reflash. But also some people have been saying some apps are causing it not to go past the g1 screen seem the most common factor is desktop theme apps are doing this people have been able to remove these apps useing umbuntu to remove these apps and all goes back to normal.
Hmm.. umbuntu has never been a real good friend to me.. but yea the SD card was my last possible indication. I thought that after doing a factor reset under recovery deleted the apps...? Is there a way to just reflash to stock rc 33 or rcc 29? Im sort of new to the Android Dev scene... Could the Recover_Testkeys.img image be causing an issue also?
Thanks
Edit: Iv heard that the type of SD card might be an issue (Transend, San Disc, ect.)? ..... I dont know though.
deleted comment... accidental duplicate post
Try a wipe. I had the same thing happen to me only i did something dumb, but once i flashed it, it worked again.
It happened to me today, It stayed on the Android screen for about 30 minutes So I removed the battery and turned it on with home+power button,
did a wipe, and applied the update again.
I dunno if doing the wipe helped but it works now
By wipe you mean recovery then (Alt+W).. Iv done it about 10 times. I keep getting the "cant mount SDCARD" and "dev/block/mmcblk0" after attempting to install update.zip.
Any other thoughts..? thanx
please tell me you have adb set up. if so i can try to help you otherwise i can't do much for you
Tubaking182, To be honest, i dont know for sure if I did set up adb... Could you please explain what it is and if it is still possible to set it up? If you could help me, It would be GREATLY appreciated... im about to give up.... such a pain in the a**
Bump.. for help issues
they may have changed the vold.conf in order to support A2SD, but that would prevent the phone from recognizing SD cards that are not partitioned.
I was rooting my HTC Magic 32A and had the same problem when I choose [Flash zip from sdcard] at RA-hero-v1.6.2
The message was "cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0"
Then I choose [Other > Move recovery.log to SD] at RA-hero-v1.6.2
And went back to choose [Flash zip from sdgard] and then it works.

i 've googled everywhere no answer for my particular prob because this one stops at bootloader and wasnt hardspl or uspl before flashing new rom. anyone help!!!! pliz!!!
Okay. You will need a 256MB or less SD card.
Format it to FAT32.
Place one of my SD version ROMs (one my HERAIMG.nbh files) onto the SD card with nothing else on it.
Boot phone to bootloader.
Use the volumeslider down to select that you want to flash the ROM when you see in the lower left hand corner red numbers counting from 10 to 1.
Wait..
Wait some more..
Press volumeslider down again when it says successful.
SD CARD HAS TO BE LESS THAN 256MB OR LESS

okay thanx for the answer so where do i get your heraimg.nbh will try
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=349
Any post that has [ROM] in front of it and has my name underneath it is called a ROM Suite. I have about 4 downloads in each Suite.
Two for Herald users and two for Wing users.
And for each user I have an SD version (the HERAIMG.nbh) and an RUU (RomUpdateUtility version).
Now to flash one of my ROMs you need to be HARDSPL'd. Which means that your IPL and SPL need to be greater than 4.xx.xx.xx.
You originally stated that your "IPL is 4.14.0002" & your "SPL is 4.10.0000." So you should be all set to flash my ROMs.. If you're not sure, then on any one of my ROM Suite threads get the HARDSPL folder and follow the directions that are in the folder.
thnks very much, but i cant install those three files into device as the set is stuck at showing IPL and SPL. i downloaded HARDSPL folder to my desktop. pliz help as to how i do it. when i use rom utility says invalid vendor and when i use memory card it says security not cleared, when i change .nbh on mmc says checking sd contents then back to three colors IPL and SPL
Have you tried flashing an original ROM to your device?
Look HERE.
thanks i tried that rom says invalid vendor. so i downloaded HardSPL (Wing-Herald) folder but active sync not recognise device. rom utility says update error. how best can i do it
You've tried the original shipped ROMs from post number #9?
hera100 no solution
yes i have tried when i conect usb device shows usb but activesync wont pick it, i tried downloading itrib rom on your post it stops at 3% the rest they stop at 2% they says update error. when i use memory card says invalid certificates. plizzz help
anyone to help with my hera100 activesync wont recognise but when i use rome utility phone flashes up to 2% anywhere to do it or must i throw it away pliz plz help. thanx in advance
hera100
so no solution as yet for my hera100. is it possible to flash using RJ45 cable???
hi guys. i hope someone could give advice and help me.
i have an SU760, i tried updating it with the roms for p920 now i have a notication saying Damage SD-CARD
i can't go to recover also. please help, does anyone knows any workaround here.?
1. Does your phone boots normally ?
2. Is your micro sd card still readable on your pc ? Try it for example with an adapter.
If you can read it, push everything to your pc format the sd-card and try it again or push everything to a second sd card and try it again.
You can also try to reflash CWM and see if that helps.
