HI.. m Oicnev.. this is regarding extracting the files from the EXE rom.. have download both the 131 and 132 (a later version, as told), but couldn't extract the files.
Have tried using winrar and winzip, but to no avail.. tried right-clicking, but no option to extract, only add to archive.. tried accessing from within winrar. there was the option to extract, but it always returned, no archive file/s in there..
tried running the EXE rom, it ran, posted extracting files, and the showed its dialog box.. then, as told, it returned an error in the end..
i used netants as downloader..
is there anything i further need to do to be able to extract the files? Is there any other way i could get the files? PLS HELP!!!
ALSO, i bought a 4gig SD Card.. the problem is my xda mini couldn't access it, unless, as it prompted, it formats it "to make it readable." This i did, and yes it became readable, but it got converted to 2.1gig. i returned it to the seller, had it replaced, thank goodness the seller was kind.. but now, i don't know what to do.. the SD Card is accessible as 4gig from my card reader though... will the rom upgrade fix the problem? Is there any other software that i need to have? PLS HELP!!!
MANY MANY THANKS, in advance!
You used one of the ROMs from this site's FTP right? I've tried several and all of them extract just fine! If you're looking for the latest ROM that is used widely without any problems, 1.13 T-Mobile ROM, that can be found here.
From there you can use kta's + ampda's guides or my own guide to run you through the upgrade process!
Thanks... only that... Stil problem - 4gig SD Card vs. Mini
Ey, know what, i finally solved my puzzle re EXE ROM.. have managed to extract the files... i tried running the EXE file, clicking next til the last one before it would start to upgrade, but without clicking it (i read from one of your guides).. then i searched for the files in my hidden windows temp folders... found them.. and ran the upgrade.. It went perfectly, i liked it..
But my BIG other problem remained.. still, my XDA Mini couldn't access my 4gig SD Card, despite all the upgrades.. it was still prompting me to format it (beccause it couldn't read it), which must not be done, coz it will convert it to 2.1gig.
I read in one forum to try partitioning the SD Card into two 2gig partitions.. i found it sound.. i followed the instructions.. i ran "compmgmt.msc" from my pc through "start/run".. I was trying to make the first step of deleting the partition through 'Disk Management', but to no avail.. Yes, there was a 'delete partition' option shown in the menus, but unlit; meaning option not available.. So, i was already stalled, couldn't proceed anymore...
Anyone with more options out there? please help...
Many thanks
Your device formatted the memory card as FAT16. This is only supported up to 2 GB:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#Final_FAT16
Just format the memory card with your card reader as "FAT32" and you will have 4 GB capacity.
RE FAT16
Hi... i checked through my card reader.. its in fat32 format...
@esackbauer,
are you sure the fat16 fat32 topic is the answer to the problems with 4 gig cards? to mee, it doesnt seem so!
see:

I have a dump of wim6 that I want to transfer off the transflash card. I have been doing a lot of reading around the entire forum regarding this. Most people say once you backup using the r2sd method your windows machine will no longer read the sd card. True, sorta. There's a hex editor out there that can read the disk and this is the method you can use to extract content. The information I have found is vague and sparce but it does seem possible. Does anyone have any experience with this and can you guide me?
Thanks much!
Does anybody know the method to flash a ROM for the Gene from the SD card?I tried transferring an NBH file via bluetooth,then I put the device in bootloader but it didnt work.

Make sure ur sd card is in fat32 format, preferably blank is good! and make sure its 2gb or under (only sd not sdhc).
Good luck.
Already did all of that.Tried to flash from a 1Gb and a 2Gb formatted in FAT32.Bootloader just hangs therc.How long is it supposed to take?
mm thats wierd. Does it just hang on the bootloader and do nothing else?
Have you renamed the nbh file correctly? And its on the root directory of you sd card, not in a folder?
notice you need to name it ****img.nbh according to your device and not just go into bootloader but go into the screen allowing you to flash from your SD (you can find the comination in the gene section).
also, you should make sure the gene supports this feature as not all devices do.
Hey Nir,
I sad to say but i have this in my polaris too
I have followed my own instructions (and yours) i just cant get it to flash. Combination for polaris is bootloader then press power button. The screen flashes up "loading" for a brief moment then goes back to bootloader screen. I have tried renaming to POLAIMG.nbh with no luck, card is 2gb sdhc (i know the hc is sometimes a problem, but many people with 8gb sdhc cards have gotten it to flash).
I cant flash in from my laptop as i have sophos and even with admin rights, its a bugger and just quarantines the ruu file (its hard to turn off completely so card flashing is the easy way......... or should be!!)
I guess re-formatting the card is the only next solution, but any others?
I want to install Andriod 2.1 on my hd2, but I don't know what to exactly to install and i what order. I've read threads and looked at videos but am still flusterd.
Can someone please give me a guide to go through the process.
I already have a second 16gb micro sd card btw.
Hi, Yes i am a mac user. However i would still like to upgrade my nook color to an Android(Jellybean). The link to the Cyanogenmod7 example does not help me mainly because of the generic...Rev6.img.zip ( i think). Because i want Cyanogenmod10 and not mod7, I have no idea what I'm missing to get results. Its more to it than changing file names. I tried looking for other forums to help me but when i follow directions. I get errors, no such file blah blah. The directions for PC look so simple. Is there a simpler way to this without relying so heavily on Terminal? I am using an imac(mac osx 10.5.8) with an external card reader and a sandisk class4 32G micro. Can some one please help me pimp my card? :cyclops:
