Help backing up to SDCard please

I've been trying to get this to work. I got the intructions from this site... http://www.geekzone.co.nz/inane/1119
I put the phone into bootloader mode, and connect to my XP laptop via USB. I run MTTY and click on the USB button. I hit enter to get the USB> prompt.
I type "d2s 74100000 00a00000" without the quotes and hit enter
My mtty screen looks just like the one in the instructions. I took the sdcard out of the phone and set it aside. To test whether it will restore from the SDCard or not, I burned a new ROM with 1 OEM removed to my phone and performed a hard reset. I then put the SDCard with the rom dump on it back in the phone, and put the phone into bootloader mode. I get the screen that says "PRESS POWER TO FLASH". I press power, it says its flashing. It finishes and says it completed succussfully. However, after a hard reset, the ROM that I backed up to the SDCard is not the ROM that is running on the phone, it has the one that I burned to the phone with the 1 OEM Removed.
Has anybody ever tried this and got it to work successfully?

Help, trying to flash.

i was following this guide:

Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 using a PC (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Raphael Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your computer
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RAPHIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RAPHIMG.nbh file to the root of your microSD Card
5. Remove Sim Card and Restart phone
6. Plug the microSD Card into the phone
7. Press and hold the volume down button, then press the reset button with the stylus. Release the volume down button when bootloader tricolour screen appears
8. Follow the onscreen instructions to start flashing
9. Once phone finishes flashing and says Update Complete, reset with the stylus
10. When it gets to the screen where it configures the stylus, HARD RESET
(hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER (center) Buttons, press the RESET button with the stylus tip, then release the RESET button but continue to hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until the reset screen appears)
11. Follow onscreen instructions to set up your New Rom
fine upto step 8, it goes to the tricolour but then it just stops and it says
RAPHL100
SPL-1.90.0000
MICRO-RAPH (LED) V13
MICROP-RAPH (KEY) V5
PSOC-RAPH STAGE_CVT V0X36
and it just crashes....anyone help me?
FORGOT TO ADD:
It goes to a grey screen and says ' no image file'

This is the guide you should have used.
Sounds like you tried to flash your phone before you Hard SPL'd it.
Good luck!

IMO, USB isn't the best way to flash, because of
- not installed USB drivers for device in bootloader mode
- accidental desktop sleep or usb unplug
SD flash though
- corrupt SD card
- those microSD cards accidentally get dislodged and thus bad flash
i think that the best way is to flash via USB and make sure all drivers are installed... don't touch the computer or phone when it's flashing (maybe move the mouse a bit to prevent screensaver etc.)

Your phone is NOT a Kaiser, its a raphael.
You really should have read the guide I pointed you to.
It had the link to the correct SPL for your device.
A little time to read would save you hundreds of $
You may find a fix ( there is a hit and miss solution for this) but you really need to search, read and learn.
Start with this thread.

ah okay thanks alot man, i appreciate you're help.
ive done all that, i get the error {262} it stops at 0% for a few mins then displays the 262 error, i have turned of firewall and ive searched the forum, but no avail?

Okay, i tried to do the hard spl with the sim card and memory card out
but still no avail, ive turned off the firewall and then i ran
RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3 but still can 262 error, please help this is very frustrating!
what happens is that i run through the steps on the RRU, then the phone goes to a black screen, and the progress bar appears, stays at 0% for 2-3 mins then error 262 appears
please help!!

Okay, i have now successfuly hard SPL my phone.
however, i have inserted a ROM in my micro SD hard, pressed volume down and then clicked reset, however i can only see the tri-colour screen and it still says no image .
please help!

OMG

i turn it on and it goes to the TOUCH PRO screen, then nothing happens

ive done it! it worked on the other pc!!! yay

.You must start in bootloader mode (camerabutton while reset for orbit2, think polaris is same button)
.Then plug in the usb and windows should install the driver (must have active sync or mobile device center installed)
=> Now updateutil should find your phone
......
If both are not working, there was a thread where you can flash via sd card, but dont know much about it.
.......
One question:
Do i need to install a radio first? As far as i know a nand android wipes the radio too and pcarvalhos rom dont have radio, or?

WTF using search button is so difficult?

What's happens when you pull out the battery for few seconds and replace it ? After long press camera button and power ?

Cheers.

the camera button is working thank god i reach the bootloader but Update won't recongize it even there but i did before when i had windows mobile ,

You dont give much information what ur doin...
so some questions to help people help ;D
So does windows brings a message "driver bla bla?"
If you get some reaction from windows just look if it finds a driver.
This was a problem once i hadnt installed windows mobile device center like i wrote before
If you dont get any reaction, try different usb cable or usb port.
Clean usb port at your device(polaris)

Have u searched about the sd flash yet?

yea..give us some more info...as some radio version will also prevent from reinstall the rom

I suggest you to use sd method.
Prepare a POLAIMG.nbh (from a windows one version), put it in a sd card (FAT32 Formatted).
Press and hold camera button
press reset (hold always camera)
the multiple color boot loader start,
after while it will appear sd flash interface,
release camera button
press power button and wait.

i wish i could :/ but my memory card failes at formating to fat32

Which version of spl do you have in your device?

can't pass the "enter password" screen.

Hello everyone,
After hours of searching I am still "stucked".
I have an I9001 with some sort of password ( Enter password to unlock - with no sim card inside - I mean is not a network unlock code )and I cant get rid off it.
A friend give it to me to solve this matter but I couldn't. He has no idea how the phone comes in this situation ( when u power it on it ask for a password to unlock code ). I tried to enter into "boot" mode ( to wipe/reset the device ) but no succes ( with vol+ and power, with both volume buttons and power, conected or not connected to usb cable ) it's only enter in download mode , or in RAMDUMP MODE ( IF i PRESS VOL+, HOME, AND POWER ). I tried to flash a new firmware, everything was ok, but same problem. I even flashed FeaModRecovery_1.2 but same. Current flash firmware is I9001XXKP4.
When i flash ( with odin ) a firmware it goes ok but at RESET time , computer ask for installing an UNKNOWN device, I am ignoring this instalation and everything (seems ) is ok, but then, again, when I power the device it ask for that password.
Any ideea what shall I do?
Any advice(s) is more than apreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry but as I cannot know the original source of the phone, I'm sure that your friend forgot their password ..... but as I cannot guarantee this ..... then the only advice I can give you is to return it to the original dealer and ask them to unlock it for you.

Thanks for your reply.
It is probably the only available solution, since any other method(s) to reset the device failed.
If anyone knows any other way to reset it, please let me know, in case he can not send it back to provider/dealer for solve this issue.
Regards.

[Q] No Fastboot No Recovery .. Is it dead ?

While i was trying to install the latest official rom to my device (The new Padfone Infinity A86 T004) it is bricked, Now i am facing a very bad (miserable) situation.
When turning on the device it shows me the ASUS logo and in top of the screen a message says : ERROR: Can not boot Invalid boot image!!
And my big problem is that i can't access any of ADB, recovery mode or even fastboot. the phone is undetectable by my PC at all.
I don't know how to force fastboot ... if i can reach the beautiful fastboot mode i will be able to handle the next steps in the fixing journey.
I have red that as long as the device shows something it means that it is not totally bricked .. but how to get out of this situation?
Any suggestions ?

Sorry my englsih is´nt good.
So you can´t broken your phone with OTA Updates
You can delet all files and sysfile and the asus isn´t broken.
you just need patience.
make sure you have the correct driver
turn off your phone,
press vloume up and power, so the phone stay with boot logo, so you are in the fastboot mode.
there you can use my exploit btw the howto downgrade A86, but the downgrade dosent works.
so unzip the newest rom .zip out of asus page....
copy the boot.img and recovery.img in your minimal fast adb folder
so you can:
c:\ADB>fastboot -w ( really wipe all partions and data of your phone!)
c:\ADB\fastboot flash boot boot.img
c:\ADB>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
copy the complete OTA Update Zip on your phone (internal sd or external is matter)
reboot phone and install the zip out of recovery.
there may be errors come to the first, if that should be the case
then repeat the case up to 3 times
I hope you can read and understand it .
if you need further assistance , please contact me at any time , like even on my homepage lange23.de

Thank you for your help.
The issue is that the phone now is not detected by the pc at all , i can not access the fast boot ...

Do you really pressed Volume up and Power at the same time, if startet???
If the phone during normal start at the stops bootlogo that's not fastboot!!!
Turn really off an than hold volume up an press Powerbutton, hold it up to boot logo.
then you are really in fastboot mode!

after turning off
when i press volume up + power button the phone vibrates and the asus logo displayed. then i release power button and keep pressing volume up button => and after 1 second an error appears ERROR: Can not load Invalid boot image!!
when pressing power button + volume down button a menu appears with two options 1.Enter recovery mode and 2.Exit update mode.
when choosing option 1 , the menu disappeared and the asus logo appears without the previous error message.
when choosing option 2 , the the menu disappeared and the asus logo appears and the previous error message.
all these cases the phone didn't go to fastboot mode and never detected by the pc.

when i press volume up + power button the phone vibrates and the asus logo displayed. then i release power button and keep pressing volume up button don´t keep pressing volume up,
fasboot mode only power & up, until the logo. Pressing this two to logo and then left them. the logo sty tuned in display so you re in fastboot
if you pressing up too jump in question menü,
if you pressing at startup power & down jumped directly into question menü, but this menü is wrong for you. you need only fastboot nothing more

keep pressing on volume up button is not jumping in question menü, but shows logo + error message (can not load invalid boot image)
also pressing them to logo then releasing also shows logo + the error message.
i am also uploading a video to youtube to verify..

Yes, no recovery
And yes PC does not find any new devices

I can not understand it...
I once the boot.img deleted in the phone and also get such error message .
but my systems find an Android device and i can use the fastboot

Any way , a good news that the phone was only few days out of its package and i managed to return it back to the seller and will send to me a new one.
But i am really disappointed with ASUS not to make any unlock tool for the new padfone infinity.
Once, i believed that as long as there is no physical damage in the phone, there will be always a way around to fix it by fastboot. but it discovered that it is not correct and the fast boot itself can be damaged..
Any way thank you so much the only man helped me here sinus23.

I got this problem too
