How do you install to NAND via USB and not SDCARD?

Guys im tired of using the sdcard to install android to my polaris as i always erase the andboot folder after everything so as to save space. I know you'd say "what space its a small file" yes but i just wanna know how to flash it comfortably to my NAND thru my PC USB connection like flashing roms with the upgrade utility. Thanks!!!
you are ridiculs but:
download customRUU.exe
copy the nbh file in the customRUU.exe dir
all the other files can't be flashed directly (the androidinstall.tgz must be in andboot folder)
lol thanks master l1q1d for the super response. actually i was dying to flash the android on my polaris immediately after my SD card broke. I had to install it thru usb since i have no sdcard. lll try that now.
i was actually looking for a way to copy the andboot folder to the phone memory after NBH flash, but im not sure that the phone memory has less memory to contain the boot files and the installation thereafter. I lost my sdcard and would wanna make the automation work without it. could this be possible? Thanks again.
No, you can't do it.
That does it. IT wont be. thanks

Boot from sdcard

Solved. Needed a 32 bit Windows to be able to make a bootable card.
1. My Flytouch II/Wowpad refuses to boot from the sdcard.
I am using the correct slot, the card is bootable, but no way.
Anything I forgot ?
2. I can use the recovery console to upgrade, but that requires an update.zip version.
I got the android files for the 3245 build, but how can I convert these 5 .img files into an update.zip version ?
Thanks, Wolfgang

[Q] Can anyone boot any Smartphone from the external SD Card?

These are my current problems:
1) I lost my Galaxy S3 overboard!
2) I had not made a backup because I detest Kies. Kies crippled my PC performance and hid my backed up (*.sbu) files from the PC file system.
3) I want to avoid the use of all proprietary software on my PC in order to manage my backups (including OS backups).
Proposed solution:
1) Buy a replacement Smartphone (a Galaxy S4?) which has an external SD Card slot.
2) Flash a custom bootloader with complete Backup / Restore functionality.
3) Backup Function: A complete phone Backup, (i.e. OS, Apps, Data and MyFiles), is made to a new folder in the root of the external SD Card. I can give this folder any name, e.g. “OriginalPhone” or “2013-04-21” etc.
4) A single file in the root of the external SD Card called “current.txt” contains a single folder name - that of the default folder for booting, e.g. “2013-04-21”.
5) Normal Booting uses the files originating from the folder specified in “current.txt”.
6) If there is no change detected in the boot files of the “current” boot folder, the phone boots “normally” from the OS copy in NAND flash if this results in a quicker boot than booting directly from the external SD card.
7) Booting with a combination of keys enables the Bootloader Restore function which allows the user to choose the boot folder to restore from.
8) I can use my PC file manager to manage all OS and data files for archive, backup and restore purposes. I will not need to use any proprietary software!
9) If I lose my phone again, I simply buy the same model as a replacement, change the bootloader, copy my most recent backup folder from my PC to a new SD card, insert the new SD card into the phone, and restore my "complete phone".
Can anyone help me to create a custom bootloader with complete Backup / Restore functionality that can boot any Smartphone from the external SD Card? Thanks in advance!
how to boot my smartphone from external SD card

These are my current problems:
Hello
It is the second time, I buy a Smartphone and after the garanty time (1 month after it due to software error my smartphone doesn't work anymore.)
I have bougth a honor 7 premium. During installation process may be due to obsolesence programmed or battery low during loading, it stucked I think in boatloader /EMUI (emui install failed error). the honor image stays and also after wipe cash partition and wipe to factory reset, it doesn't start.
I would like to start and if possible flash a new android SW on the honor 7 to be able to connect to it.
Actually I can not connect it with the PC. It is not visible.
Is it possible? Do you have any boot SW I can put on SD card. It would be very helpful.
My wife needs his mobile before leaving for 3 weeks on monday.
Feedback would be very greatfull
thanks in advance

[Q] HTC slide mt4g problem booting no recovery

My phone is stuck on a splash screen boot and reboot. I have loaded pd15img package onto SD card. Problem is, when phone goes to bootloader, the progress on screen says PD59diag.zip no image, no matter what zip file I have loaded on sd card. I am having to use a micro video camera to read and load the sd card. It always makes a DCIM folder. Is this causing the problem? The phone is prolly salvageable since I can get into bootoader mode. I just need to know how to get the phone to see the correct zip files in order to load a ROM, any ROM. Just something to make it work. I tried Froyo and PD15IMG.zip, but I don't know what it means when it says I have to rename files to pd15img.zip. Have tried that with no luck. When you rename all files to same name, it adds (2) (3), so on and so on. Is that stopping me from having a legitimate image to work from. Phone just keeps seeing pd59diag.zip...no image, no matter what I do. Please, someone help me. I know it can work again. It's so close. Thanks

[Completed] Help Convert TNTpipo.img into and ext sd installable file/zip

Hello, i need a bit of help, ive got my original .img file from TNT.
i had windows when i installed it first time, i have Linux mint 17 now .
i tried with neighbors win 7 machine but i can tget the tablet recoged by any means, i think the usb port is buggered up
nothing works.
any way i can install from external sd card, is there any way to mod the img to install from sd card similar to the Decontaminatv3.1.zip
iv installed tnt software and can mount the system folder have a copy of it converted to ext4(was a real pain)
decontam just gets renamed to install.zip and goes right in, just wish there was a linux based converter that didnt require an enlarged brain to operate
put img file in folder
start app
press button to convert .img to install.zip
copy install.zip into sd card
done and happy!!
any body have any ideas?
IMG is a completely different Packing of Source files. Those typically can not be converted into Zip files as their signature is integrated.
Please post Device details so we can help further.
