No image file?

Hi,
I'm trying to root the wifes new G1.
Now I've done this before with my own and now my HTC Hero.
However when I hit power and camera I get a quick message saying 'no image file' before it goes to the rainbow screen??
I have the Dreamg.nbh on the SDcard.
I tried to root using the flashrec.apk but when I type 'SU' in terminal it says permission denied, so I'm thinking it hasn't worked, however it did install Cyanogens recovery.
Confused on how to flash the Dreamg.nbh as I can't get into bootloader.
Has the process changed for cupcake builds?

Make sure you format the SD card as FAT32
The cards normally come as FAT and when you format the default option is to format as FAT, you just need to tell what ever you use to format the card with to format as FAT32 or you will get the no image error.

I did, HOWEVER I have partitioned it in advance as EXT3 and Linux swap in preparation, could that be the issue?

DON'T partition your card to save time, it costs you more...
Thanks guys.

[Q] after partitioned cd card - HELP!

Hi,
I partitioned my sd card by this software - MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
to 2 partitions: EXT3 -1GB and FAT32 - 7GB.
(SD card of 8 GB)
now, my HTC Desire doesnt upload and stuck on the screen of my rom.
i tried to upload it with no sd card ad it stuck on the HTC screen.
i cant format the sd card by the recovery.
HELP!!

have you tried using super wipe?
it should fix the partitions and if not that have you tried putting it into a computer and formatting it there?
http://www.mediafire.com/?rx2jhzabvlca5ae (Superwipe)
instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9126707&postcount=1

thnx for the fast commet.
but how can i upload this zip into the sd-card?

in recovery mode usb toggle drop it in the sd and flash....
follow the instructions though
or hook it up to the laptop like the normal and copy and paste either one

but i cant load files into the sd card by the computer..
it pluged it to the computer, but its only charge - i cant load files on the sd.

is that with or without an sd adapter?
does your sd show up?
have you tried to repair your sd by recovery...i think its under partition
because i had that problem once...well without the getting stuck screen...what about your nandroids though?

do you have an sdcard reader so you can try useing the card on the computer without the phone if not try taking the card out then going into recovery putting the card back in and then go into recovery again and try to format that worked once for me

ok have you tried formatting on the computer instead of the memory card?
also a friend of mine should be coming on to help in a lil but try to format on the computer...
if not turn off then take out sd card and try again

i've no sdcard reader, ill buy it tomorrow.
ive tried to format sd card in the recovery with no sd card, and than with sd card and it didnt work.
theres another way?
thnx very much to both of you!

hopefully that works man

Q) how to format FAT32 64gb card ? can't write/delete files.

Was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what I can possibly do??
The card came as EXFAT, but most roms only support FAT32.
I formatted the card to FAT32 which was fine .. but after copying a few files the card now refuses to write or delete files. I can still open and view media that's on it but that's about it. I can't even re-format it, it will say the disk can not be formated or write error. The card isn't corrupt though, I copied around 30gbs of video on it when it was in EXFAT partition before. J
I'm using an SD adaptor into my card reader, but yes I have ensured the lock switch is off.
edit - oh also, when you place the card into the phone it'll say that the card is damaged/blank.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers,

Make sure you format it in the phone

Every time I place the card in, it will say the card is damaged or blank
Then it tries to format it but then goes through the same loop of saying it's damaged/blank

i had experienced the same problem i tried my best using several fomat tools. think almost all the tools in the world....failed and bought a new one.....think its better go for new card

Did you try to format it on Linux? I've experienced some problems with SD cards formated on Windows (assuming that you run Windows )

pretty much - there's nothing you can do. I decided to email Sandisk and here's their response:
I understand that the error that appear after format is “write protected”. First we would like to apologize for the inconvenience.
I understand that you are getting write protection error while accessing the flash drive. The flash drive has detected a potential fault and become “write protected” to prevent data loss. There is no method to fix this. You will need to back-up your data and replace the flash drive.
So you have to RMA it. I'm abit confused because others on XDA have successfully covnerted their 64gb cards to FAT32 without any issues.
Could it be a faulty batch of sd cards?.

Only if you want to remove problems like low internal memory and want to use A2SD

My phone doesn't detect it either.
at start it gives small card with ! mark.
I tried formatting the card wholly with fat32,
I even tried making different partitions fat32+ext4.
In both ways my phone doesn't detect the memory card.
But when I do the update in recovery mode it updates through sd card.
My memory card is perfectly working on PC and other devices.

Try using the partition sd card option in recovery if you want to use Link2SD, A2SD or S2E.

Guys, do the cards ext2 or 3 , not 4. Don't know why but...... It worked for me. And if you partition them, make both partitions primary.

Thank you very much..I had the same problem, I formatted my SD card to ext3,fat32 and a swap partition and Wolla..its working fine:victory:.

There are some issues with ext4 partitions.
ext4 partition are said to be better but they might have some problems.
So if you encounter any, format it completely and delete all partitions. Using your phone recovery to make partition would be better.
Sometimes your second partition(i.e. sd-ext) is not detected by your recovery, and your main fat32 is works fine. Well that happened with me and i searched for solutions for long time. But did get any.
Later i fixed it by flashing the last cwm recovery with which the sd-ext partition was getting detected. Seems like the new version of recovery was the problem. Or something else, I don't know.

Even any third party software like Paragon partition manager cannot delete it's partition

You can't use a BYJU SD-card as normal SD-card. Hence trash it and buy a new one. They're not that expensive if you go for a 1Tb one

Hey! Can I Know which grade sd card you are trying to formate?

I have done it
You cannot do it with any disk partition utility (trust me i have tried them all). You have to make changes in CSD Register of your sd card.
