SSPL using SD card for Kaiser?

I'm new to the Kaiser world but have a little experience with flashing from the Hermes side of things. I used to have SSPL-HERM.exe on my 1GB SD card and would add any .nbh file image to the card, rename it HERMIMG.nbh, then run SSPL on my device to start the upgrade. Is there a solution like this for the Kaiser? I checked the wiki, searched the forums and searched the cloud without any answers. I tried using the bootloader reset with the image file (renamed as KAISIMG.nbh) on my card but I keep getting the "image file not found" flashing on the screen, then it returns to the tri-color screen.
I'd stick with running the custom ruu's but my connection keeps dropping off on my work PC before the ROM can flash. And it's just no good to have to wait until I get home to flash a new ROM, right?
Thanks in advance for the help.

What are you wanting to load, Hard SPL's or ROM / Radio images?
The KAISIMG.nbh on the Root of a FAT32 formatted SD card works for ROM / Radio / OEM SPL's (If SPL override is enabled).
To upgrade a hard SPL (If SPL override is disabled) then you can follow this post from cmonex: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420683

Mostly ROM/Radio images - I've got 3.29.Hard loaded right now and it seems to be working ok.

My card is formatted FAT32 (necessary for the Hermes flash as well) but I'll give a reformat a shot and see what happens. Thanks for the quick response.

If it is just images, just place the KAISIMG.nbh on the root and then enter the bootloader (Camera and SoftReset) and the SPL will do the rest.

I tried to reformat the card using flash format but I keep getting an error saying "exclusive access to the storage card is denied (#31)."
I also tried putting the KAISIMG.nbh on the root and resetting into the bootloader but nothing happens.
Without any further suggestions I'll grab a laptop during my lunch and reformat the card in there, then retry the SD card flash.

I use it all the time like this. Just make sure the format is in Windows (not via Resco, etc).
Oh, and I don't think it support's volume labels.

Also there have been some issues reported with Kingston 1GB cards not being recognized for some reason. I have a 1GB Kingston and I 1GB Sandisk and after reading the post I never tried the Kingston but the Sandisk works fine.

I formatted my card, dumped the image file onto it, sent the phone to bootloader and still got the same "image file not found".
By some stroke of luck I was able to run the customruu from my work pc after moving to a different USB port, once. Now I keep running into the connection dropoff that I had been seeing in the past.
By the way, the 1GB card I'm using is from ativa...

Must've been the card. I used my 4GB sdhc card with no problems what-so-ever. Chalk one up for Ativa in the these cards may not work for flashing ROM's section.
Thanks for the help everyone.

[HowTo] How to Flash through SD Card

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.

That's mean IPL & SPL right?
I read about WM6.1 in this forum require IPL or SPL morethan 4.xxx
But my Herald (Dopod C800) IPL&SPL 1.09.0001
Can you give any advice How can I do for upgrade to WM6.1
Thank you

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.

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.

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.

It was already formated. I'll try with this version number.

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.

I have a DREAM, to use my DREAM!!! :'(

Reassuming:
1) Tried to Update to RC33 my new Gphone and Failed!
2) Tried to wipe and retry the update and fail again.
3) Repeat STEP 2 for some times
4) Try to flash from bootloader with RC29 (DREAIMG.nbh) but fail.
5) Use DREADIAG.NBH that say me: 00028002
6) Qmat 4.24 say me:
a) When I click "Get SD Card Serial from Wince Device" on Omnia i900 [Win Mobile 6.1] the Omnia say: "There was a problem with device.exe"
b) If I continue, then click "Save Goldcard Image to WINCE SD", Qmat show me an Error popup that say me: "Done writing SD card to WINCE Device"
Now my phone is still dead.
Any ideas???
Crying...(while wait your answers...)

when you power on the phone, does it go to bootloader or to recovery? did you have the HardSPL installed already? and do you have a micro SD card reader

The Phone goes ONLY in Bootloader mode.
I have the MicroSD USB reader.
I have the original SPL.

kinda sounds like a bad SD card to me -- did you try another one?

ok, go to the thread that gives you the walkthrough on rooting the phone, and get the RC29 or RC7 from there, if your phone was already on RC30 or above then get the 29, if you were on rc8 or above then get RC7. then you need to format your card in the reader to FAT32. then unzip the file you downloaded a minute ago and rename the .nbh file to DREAIMG.nbh and try again. from the looks of it you had a CID error, though i have never gotten one of those so i don't know exactly what they say. try again to flash the .nbh file in the bootloader

I have change 3 SD card...but the Flash don't work.
Say me:
____________
Update Terminated
UPDATE FAIL
____________

Tuba I have tried ALL the US DreaIMG that I found on the WEB! ALL!!!
But the results is the same...
I have tried to use QMAT but don't help me...

Are you using mac to format the sdcard? Sometimes, at least for me, if I format on my mac before putting dreaming.nbh on the card mac will add extra little files to the card that the phone does not like. Make sure to FORMAT the card to Fat32, then copy the file, then do NOTHING else with it before putting it back in your phone and flashing it. Also as stated above, re-download the file to make sure it isn't a corrupted one. If this isn't your case, sorry for wasting your time.

Have you had any luck?
I also have a bricked US G1 with original SPL. I was thinking of using QMAT to create a goldcard image so I could load DREADIAG.NBH since the one I have must be CID locked / for another CID (I get the 00028002).
Thanks.

I have successfully loaded a DREADIAG.nbh for a different CID using a goldcard image. Now, some stuff in there didn't work as expected, and the service manual if a bit short on info in that area. Also, it seems to work with RUU for some things. I'll have to grab a windows box tomorrow and see what I can do there.

severely frustrated and in desperate need of help!!

i've been trying to update my tilt's rom and I don't know what im doin wrong. i've tried flashing mbarvian's solace v 1.5 rom and revrom v8 (sorry I can't remember who cooked the rom) and neither is working.
i've followed every step in the sticky for noobs like me. but when I get to step 3, which is flashing hardspl, I get lost. I moved the jumpspl files to my phone and ran jumpspl 1.93, since 1.53 seems to do nothing. it goes into bootloader, I disconnect usb, reconnect it, and try to run kaisercustomruu so I can flash hardspl 3.29. but when I try to run kaisercustomruu it just shuts down my computer. I don't know whts going on. it seems like im the only one running into this problem. i've spent the past 3 days searching the forums for a solution or reason why kaisercustomruu shuts down my comp and I can't find anything.
when I downloaded mbarvians solace rom there was another update utility that was included in the fil so I ran that. it worked, I clicked all necessary boxes, and the update initialized. but it just stays at 0 percent, and eventually gives me error 262 "update utility error" or something like that.
I tried restarting my comp and even hard reset my device. nothing is working.
im currently running the HTC windows 6.1 rom (the one straight off the site) and have hardspl 3.56.
the reason im trying to go to hardspl 3.29 is because mbarvian and the majority of people on his thread that had succes with his rom are running 3.29.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Well, you can't flash custom ROM's till you HardSPL your Tilt/Kaiser.
I noticed you didn't mention anything about disableling USB Connections in ACtive Sync/WMDC. Did you do that?
Also, kaisercustomruu is generic. Try copying the one from the ROM dl into the HardSPL dl folder. Another suggestion is do a search for flashing hardspl from sd card.

Why not use the sticky and then ask in the relevant thread? "The Sticky"

You will definitely get more help in that thread. But you already have hardspl, so read the part about flashing cmonex's 3.29 from your SD card, that looks like that will solve your problems.

I was going to agree with this, but then I read the flashing guide, and it says flashing from the SD card only works if you're upgrading. From the sounds of it, he doesn't have HardSPL on his phone, otherwise the cooked ROMs would flash.
To the OP, I would try another KaiserCustomRUU.exe. Just copy it from one of the custom ROMs you've downloaded and paste it into the folder you have HardSPL in. Be sure to delete the one that came with HardSPL first. If that doesn't work, maybe you could try a different computer? I don't think you need an ActiveSync connection to flash since JumpSPL puts the phone into flash mode. (Someone correct me on this if I'm wrong.) Just download HardSPL, extract, run JumpSPL, plug your phone in, and run KaiserCustomRUU.exe. It should flash!

I do have hardspl installed its v3.56. I just wanna try 3.29 cos mbarvian and the people on his rom thread that had success with his rom have 3.29 installed.
I read the flashing for noobs sticky and i've been following it verbatim. when I went to try and format my SD card to fat32 it wouldn't let me. I used resco explorer and when I tried to format it it said it wasn't unlocked. that's one thing I failed to ask about in my original post: how do I unlock the SD card?
I used 2 other kaisercustomruu's from other roms and they all forced my comp to shut down. I even ran it on my gf's comp and it shut hers down too.

Take your microsd card and place it into the converter (normal sized sd card). There is a switch on the side. Place the switch in the opposite position of "lock"

It sounds like you do not have kaisercustomruu in a folder, which contains .nbh file. Rather you are probably attempting to run it from your desktop???

Ah, you have to use a SD Card reader on a PC to format it, not through the phone.

each time I ran kaisercustomruu it was in a folder with an nbh file. does it have to be by itself with the nbh file? just kaisercustomruu and the rom file?
oh that's all I have to do? just put it in the SD adapter and flip the switch? does it have to be in a computer for it to work?

No.... there is nothing wrong with your SD card.
Do this:
1. Remove your SD card and your SIM Card. Start your device.
2. Connect your Device to your PC Via ActiveSync. Make sure you are fully connected.
3. Unzip and copy the exe file of attached JumpSPL to your device memory.
4. Run Jump/Soft SPL on your device
5. Wait for the bootloader screen to appear and "USB" to show.
6. Right-click activesync icon on the PC tray, go into connection settings and ensure Allow USB Connections is unchecked
7. Unplug your device from the USB port, wait 5 - 20 seconds, plug it back in.
8. Run KaiserCustomRUU.exe of the desired HardSPL and flash HardSPL3.29
To see if you have successfully flashed the 3.29 HardSPL press the camera and power button and press the soft reset once all at the same time, you will see the four color screen and it should display the SPL version.

Whether your SD card is locked or unlocked has no barrier on flashing SPL on your device, since you need to have it out of the device when you perform the SPL install.
Fat32 sometimes would not allow operation of certain files on your PC. thats why sometimes PPC programs or files would not open on your PC and would give you error msgs. Now some folks tried to create a virtual fat32 folder that could in some instances open or run fat32 programs that are created for mobile devices, but in most cases that would crash your PC OS and shuts it down. Same story with netCF files.
So in essence if you were to follow my instructions above, you will get it done and it should not take longer that two minutes to complete the process.
Again.... DO NOT SHORTCUT THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Good luck

Are you trying to add files to your card by inserting it into your laptop using an adapter?
BTW certain adapters for some reason or another will not allow you to do that after the SD card has been placed and used in a phone.
Can you access the SD card through ActiveSync? If you have installed programs on your SD card and you are trying to delete them from the SD card it would not let you as there is a shared violation in that process. The way to do is that you would need to remove the programs first from your device by using the Remove prompt in your settings page on your phone, then going to your SD card and deleting the program files. If you do it in the reverse order you will run into problems; Remnants of those programs will still reside in your main memory.
The attached is a utility that would help format SD card. DO NOT UNZIP IT. Just create a folder on your PC and save the attached in it, When done, change the file type of the attached file from zip to exe. Then right hand click it and do the extract to the folder you created. Follow the included instructions to format the SD card.

Wait a second..... Do you have your device CID unlocked? In other words, did you unlock your device using one of the methods in the stickies? I am NOt talking about SPL .... Were you able to flash a cooked ROM on your device?

Are you trying to add files to your card by inserting it into your laptop using an adapter?
BTW certain adapters for some reason or another will not allow you to do that after the SD card has been placed and used in a phone.
Can you access the SD card through ActiveSync? If you have installed programs on your SD card and you are trying to delete them from the SD card it would not let you as there is a shared violation in that process. The way to do is that you would need to remove the programs first from your device by using the Remove prompt in your settings page on your phone, then going to your SD card and deleting the program files. If you do it in the reverse order you will run into problems; Remnants of those programs will still reside in your main memory.
The attached is a utility that would help format SD card. DO NOT UNZIP IT. Just create a folder on your PC and save the attached in it, When done, change the file type of the attached file from zip to exe. Then right hand click it and do the extract to the folder you created. Follow the included instructions to format the SD card.

yeah i've tried adding/deleting pics, vids, music, etc... with phone and pc and neither works, up until a couple weeks ago i was moving pics/vids to and from the card with the ppc and the pc with no problems. i have used several different card adapters in case one was bad but no matter what i have done, nothing has worked. i already even tried the file you sent and couldn't get the sdformatter to work either. i haven't installed any aps to the card only save pics and all on there, keep my fav program cabs on there as well.

Sounds to me your 8GB SDHC Card failed if it worked before and isn't anymore. Can you play the music on the card from either your PC or Kaiser?

going crazy
so i've been following asfoor's advice. I ran kaiserunlocker, but none of the steps made any progress. I tried using it to flash spl3.29, but my spl still shows 3.56. I tried flashing the patched radio, but its still the same (1.65.21.18). I downloaded v2.0, so I know I have the most recent version of kaiserunlocker. help! im getting more and more frustrated.

no image found

Hello,
I know my issue was discussed here a lot but I tried everything I read but it didn't work.
Here is my story:
I bought G1 and unlocked it. I downloaded DREAIMG.nbh, format to fat32, turned off, pressed the camera button, turned on (usb cable was pluged it, oops), pressed the "end" button, install started - BUT! didn't succeed.
I repeat this more then 20 times. but nothing change.
I get message: "no image found" thatn red-green-blue-white screen.
"drea100 pvt 32b ruunbh
hboot-0.95.0000
cpld-4
radio-1.22.12.29
sep 2 2008"
after 1 sec white line appear in the middle with "serial0"
IF I plug in the usb while I press the camera button etc, the serial0 doesn't appear.
I also tried different SD card but still get the same error.
I don't have SD card reader so I use my old Nokia 6120 with usb cable to format the SD card.
Please if some one can help me...

this happened to me b4..u might have a bad download of the DREAIMG.NBH..download it form somewhere else
hope this helps
it worked 4 me

Did you put DREAIMG.nbh back on your SD card after formatting? Formatting erases whatever you have on your SD card and it sounds like thats what you did since it can't find the image file.

You must make sure that it is EXACTLY like this DREAMING.nbh. Not dreaming.nbh or Dreaming.nbh.

I think that I already downloaded from 3 different servers. If you have any recommended one I don't mind to check again

As far as I read it suppose to be DREAIMG.nbh, no?
Some one else wrote here: "put DREAIMG.nbh back on your" ...
How ever, I tried to rename it as you said and still - doesn't work.

Hahaha I would be too, but sometimes people just forget or don't even know little things like that and it can screw everything up. I've done stuff when I'm way too exhausted and should be sleeping and think I have a giant problem when its really that I overlooked something tiny like that.

It is DREAIMG.nbh, definitely not DREAMING.nbh.

anyone has idea of solution ? plz plz plz

can you read the file using usb mount? sometimes it could be a card problem.

I did use other card and the same...
When I connect the G1 to my PC (using usb cable) nothing happen on the PC, win xp or ubuntu. But when I connect the G1 before turning it on, when I suppose to get the message "serial0" - I don't. When I disconnect the cable then I get the message.
I hope this will assist you to assist me
Thanks

you can't afford a 15 dollar card reader? doing this kind of stuff to your phone, you should be knowledgable enough to know you're going to need gear.
are you extracting the file from within the folder and placing it in the root of your sdcard?

I have same problem, need to return the phone and can't seem to get DREAIMG.nbh to work, I've done it before on same phone, for whatever reason it just doesn't see the file on sd card. I've used the same file I used before, formatted SD, etc... Oh and went back to original SPL as well.

OOps my bad, you sir are correct! Thanks.

i think its the usb cable u r using
some cables can corrupt the file during a transfer
try it out with a card reader most def
u dont want to flash a corrupt dreaimg.nbh file and get screwed....

OK, I will go to buy SD reader and let you know.
btw, I read some stuff about md5, what is it (serial of nbh?)? and how I check it?
Thanks

I bought SD reader and I am happy to announce that I am the owner of G1 (root) RC33
Thanks everybody
