He guys,
I've updated a S710 for a customer of mine but he forgot that he had some notes on the internal memory that he really needs.
Anybody know a way to do this. Already tried a normal data recovery program but this doesn't see a smartphone....)-;
I'm afraid that hard reset formats the nand flash and all data is really lost.
I'm not sure though. You can try to use the "pdocread" program to dump the windows and extrom partitions and see if you can still find customer data in them. Check out the Vox wiki for a howto.
Don`t bother in that matter. If notes was in internal memory, then after reset is lost for good, taft.
Is it possible to complete format Magician with mtty or something else like we do to other devices with task 22 55aa command in mtty? I need to remove my extended rom and keep it empty so I need to know the format procedure. Please help.
Most of you have noticed that my ROMs require flashing through the SD card. I've given out the instructions many times, but they tend to be lost in the shuffle that is day to day posting so here is a whole thread dedicated to it:
1. Format your SD card to FAT32.
2. Place HERAIMG.nbh into your SD card.
3. Hold the camera button then press the soft reset button while holding the camera button.
4. Press the down volume when it asks you to press something.
If this doesn't work, it means either:
1. Your SD card isn't fast enough. You can try partitioning the SD card so that it only has a small amount of space formatted. This can be read faster by the bootloader.
2. You don't have a HERAIMG.nbh file in your SD card.
3. Your HERAIMG.nbh was made with a small number in the "version" number.
4. Your SD is a SDHC. The driver that allows SDHC compatibility is not loaded in the bootloader. Buy a cheap little 1GB card to flash with.
3. Your HERAIMG.nbh was made with a small number in the "version" number.

No, when making the NBH you have the option of setting a version number.
In order to flash any third party ROM you need an IPL and SPL of 4.xx and to HardSPL your phone (HardSPL requires an SPL of 4.xx)
To upgrade your SPL and IPL you can try upgrading your phone with it's most updated stock RUU (Some, like HTC bring the upgrade) or you can try the GoldCard method. (Search for the word "Goldcard".)
how can i do this i have a herald 4350 or well the t-wing and i doesn't want to connect to my computer well it connects but 3 seconds later it disconnects i don't know what going on and i been trying to update to another rom. thanks for any help.

Just follow the directions I just posted. They should work just fine.

Hi Ivan,
Just to let you know though, there must be some kind of problem. I followed the instructions and flashed through my SD the nbh (os+radio) numerous times but after the flash my Herlad always failed to boot. The flash was successful, I got a message "press any key to continue" from the bootloader and after a softreset the screen was always black with no signs of booting.
Also, just to let you know, the program that opens the htcrt.proj file fails to register and I always had to /right click/open with and then manually select the os and radio files to create the nbh.

If it fails to boot, it means that the ROM you created has something wrong in it, not that the flashing process has something wrong in it.
As far as the proj file, if you have windows Vista, it may have not set the permissions properly.
Hi.
I'm fairly new to this and I'm trying to flash a JustMe ROM. I have built both a XPR and a LZX but none of them worked. I just follow your intructions and I get to a screen with gradients of Red, Green, Blue and a white bar in the background and IPL 4.17.0001 and SPL 4.17.0000. From what I understood, something should happen now, right? Well, it doesn't.
What may be the problem?

You should not see the gradients right away.
If you followed the steps exactly, and your NBH has a version number of 5.2.xxxxx or higher: Then your SD card might not be fast enough or it might be a SDHC which won't work.
How big is your SD card?
It's a 2GB Silicon Power MicroSD. How do I check the version of my NBH?
Also, the NBH is not the only file I have in my card. Do I have to format it or if it is already in FAT32 (which it is) I don't need to?
btw, a message saying something like "Checking SD card" (something like that, couldn't see it right) appears before the gradients but only for 1/4 of second or something.

When you CREATE the NBH, it says the version. What number does it say there?

The reason I mention it is because SD cards come preformatted as FAT16.

That's where the flashing is done. If you only see it for 1/4 second, it means:
1. You didn't follow the directions (FAT32 and version number)
2. The SD card is too slow.
The NBH version is 5.19588.

Did you format the card to FAT32?
It was already formated. I'll try with this version number.
EDIT: Didn't work. I'll format the card.

The card was already formatted to FAT32? Not FAT16?
Yes. It was FAT32 but I reformated it anyway. It now loaded but gave me an "Invalid Certificate" error.

So the formatting was still an issue. Weird. Ok, so now it's reading it but it's not validating the certificate. Have you HardSPL'ed?
No, as I don't even know what that is. So far I have only needed the Flash Center application to flash the ROMs.

The Flash Center only works through inserting the code through Windows Mobile. Since my ROMs are flashed outside of Windows Mobile, therefore, it requires a HardSPL'd phone. HardSPL is better than the Flash Center since it protects the SPL and IPL from being overridden in a bad flash or when you accidently use a ROM that isn't meant for your phone. But, the HardSPL can be dangerous is you don't follow the install process properly as it can brick your phone.
Hum, ok. I'm quite intuitive in understanding how to hack devices so don't worry as I'll probably not brick my phone. I'll search for HardSPL and when I'm done I'll post the results.
Thanks for all the help and for your (I imagine) great ROMs.
EDIT: HardSPL'd my phone and everything is working great. Very fast ROM, I may say. Not as good-looking as the Open Touch Project I was using, but sometimes functionality is better than style.
Im currently running the supermagicv2r3 on my mt3g. can any one tell me how to flash the trojan_final.zip briefly. im running 32b. its hard to understand through all these post. i usually tube it. If its ne one out there i would appreciate it. oh and tell me what else i need to download. i already have the 1.3.2 recovery image by Amon Ra, and i downloaded trojan_final.zip
Eugene's trojan? I believe you have to flash over the 32A radio and recovery image through fastboot. If you don't know what you are doing, I suggest you don't do attempt it because you will brick your phone. This also belongs in general.
You should go here if you need further help that goes into more detail than the little tid bit that I have given you.

i kno what i am doing as far as. rooting my phone back to 1.5. downloading flash
rec plus the recovery image. flashing the rec image. rebooting the phone to rec image. then once i drag the rom onto my sd card. wiping factory reset and ext partition. then part sd: fat32 blah blah blah. and converting ext2 to ext3. but all these other words is like new to me. i kno what to do. juss not exactly
I don't want to give you false information. I would go check Eugene's thread to see if you need the 32A radio, but he removed everything because he has decided to move to another forum. I need confirmation on that. Do you know if it's for 32A or for 32B?
Also, do you know how to use fastboot/adb?

i just checked on his other forum that he is now at. apparently it's a 32B so you don't have to worry about fastboot. just wipe data/factory reset. Then wipe your ext and davlik. Then wipe data/factory reset again for good measure. Then flash the rom.
Or if you want a clean flash, repartition your sd card fat32+ext+swap, upgrade ext2 to ext3, repair file systems, wipe data/factory reset, then flash the rom.

I really appreciate that for real... so the second way is the best to go? and is there a fat32+ext+swap option in the newest recovery image by Amon Ra. which is recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2G.img?
yeah it's the best way to go and it does have that option. You can even choose the values of how big you want your ext and swap. This recovery image is a lot better than his last one.

lol what exactly do u mean by values of ext and swap? and can i use the same flashrec i downloaded to use the supermagicv2r3 which is flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk. im sorry but these words with ext swap i dont really kno what they do i just follow instructions. but i wouldnt mind knowing the meaning
I don't know about the apk. Just go into your recovery image by pressing home and back. flash the rom from there.
ext is where your apps go for apps2sd. swap gives the phone virtual memory that is fed off the memory card to make up for the lack of ram that the phones we have. the original hero has 288MB and our phones that are google branded or 32B only have 192.

i just tried what u said to do but when i try to update the trojan_final.zip. it says download aborted (bad). i wipe data wipe ext and davlik , wipe again then i try to flash rom and it isnt working. and i also put the swap to 64 and left the ext at 512. would that be a problem?

scratch that it worked perfectly! thanks a whole lot man! ur the best.. if i have ne questions i would post u. if u have twitter... twitter.com/esquiire can i keep my swap at 64 and my ext at 512? or do u recommend something better? and what is converting ext3 to ext4. and whats the process?
boot to recovery
and select partition
partition sd
swap-size minimum 64 (use track balll to change numbers)
press home
ext2 size leave size as is and fat 32
press home to partition
ok then
select usb-ms toggle
copy trojan-final across to card
reboot phone to recovery
select
flash update
choose.zip
select zip and flash
be warned bluetooth does not work on 32b hero roms
when you get more used to rom updates you could try the 32a hack to get bluetooth working

Hy There,another silly Q from me!(sorry :angel, i made a lot of things with my sd(partition and all that)and now i just want to format for my android again, but Minitool dont give me that option, it give me CREATE PARTITION option but i just want to format without partition, Windows dont recognize my sd cause aint formatted, what can i do?and....ntfs or fat 32, and.....primary or logical?
thank you all
I recommend using SD Formatter 3.1 for SD/SDHC/SDXC by the SD Association
You might need to Google it as I can't post links yet.
Parted Magic
I suggest using parted magic or any equivalent pre windows boot partion management tools , beleive me they work wonders .
yes but the problem that i have, or question is this, cant i format without partitions?because the only way i can format now is doing a partition, and i let all the space of the sd in that partition, but i dont want more partitions.please, step by step.
thank you
