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?

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

I could really use a hand with this pickle

okay, so i've found myself in a bit of a pickle. Recently I've been running the CM7 nightly's, but today I tried out the RoyalGinger rom and I believe it either corrupted my SD card or it's blocking my SD card from being used/read.
Tried several times to reformat it but each time it said 'checking SD card', but the weird thing is I have an active wireless connection, but I'm not getting texts. I can download from market, get on Facebook, etc, but my texts won't come in until I reboot the phone. A few times I booted it up and it wouldn't allow me to even see my homescreen because it'd pop up with EVERY app force closing (including google services, framework, etc), I was able to get back to my homescreen by clearing by Dalvik Cache luckily, however I'm still unable to do most anything. I went in to wipe/restore but it says cannot find SD card, directory invalid, cannot mount, etc.
Is there a way to reformat my SD card through terminal? If so could I get the code procedure for it? or anyone have any ideas other than picking up a new micro (which isn't a big deal but I'm strapped on money til Friday) but i'd still prefer to know that it's JUST my SD card and not my phone memory. Anyone? Anyone? Beuler? Beuler? Thanks in advance. I'm really sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, but c'mon, everyone gets one.

Ok so do u have a stock backup rom? Ide say go to rom manager and go to recovery and whipe etc.. Then install that stock back on it.....And can ur sd card even read at all? Just get any.file manager and check your sd.

I think I have a backup rom of CM6, but not an actual android stock rom. It won't allow me because it says 'must have an SD card inserted' then it says must have clockwork mod recovery installed, which I do, the current version. Now that it says that I'm afraid to boot my phone into recovery, and I can't really tell if my SD card will read. I was able to use my file manager and the entire SD folder is blank.

ten minutes later: still boots into recovery, none of my backups are available on it. I was thinking about downloading a rom from the phone and trying that way, but I don't know if it'd save to the (apparently unreadable) SD card.

Ok try this...... Find out what recovery you use 3.0.0.5 or the normal 2.5.1.4 for froyo then download a rom thats the same recovery as the one u have on it right now...... If its the same as your cyanogenmod 6 then install that from the recovery manually!!!
if its not then download a rom that is and make sure you use a file manager to see if the download sticks in your sdcard. And if it doesnt stick then......your problem sir might be a corrupted sdcard, or a phone that cant read your sd.
Hope its not either or, so give it a shot.....
And ur supposed to have a stock backup as soon as you root and switch roms man Lol makes life easier

It sounds like he doesn't have access to his sdcard. It doesn't matter how many backups you make if that's the case...
If you happen to have a sdcard reader or a microsd usb adapter you could format it in windows, copy the files you need, and start again. Also did you try connecting to your pc and seeing if it's readable that way? You can format the card if your pc recognizes it. If you have adb set up you can push the recovery image to the phone without a sdcard. But once again without a working sdcard you won't be able to flash a new rom.

Hey guys I'm pretty sure it's just my SD card. I tried saving an image, just to test it and it says 'an SD card is required to download images.bin', so I'm HOPING it's just my SD Card, however my notifications are working properly so I can at least deal with it til friday, if it IS my SD card reader in the phone, well... I have a plan for that, however due to already technically breaking that I shouldn't go into it. Thanks to you guys for taking the time to post and if you know anything else that might help me I'd gladly accept it.

Hi, I have a reader on my laptop but not the adapter, so I can't tell and yes, you were right, I can't see any of my backups (which I have my stock, then cm6 and cm7) so I either need to find an adapter or get a new SD card. luckily I pulled all of my camera images off my phone last night when I put the new rom .zip on the phone sd, so I'm not really worried about 'losing' anything as long as I get my phone working back in proper condition.

Well that happened to me before as well.. All i did was replace sd cards lets the phone do its thing flash a different rom like CM6 or CM7 and then once replaced i got the adapter for my old sd card reformatted through windows and put it right back in and it worked.. So try that?

Ill have to. Thanks a lot guys I do appreciate any comments and suggestions and ill be picking up a new sd later thia week to fix it but can amyone recommend a good brand sd to pick up? the apparently failed one was a samsung 8gb

I usually use sandisk so yeah try that?

Something similar happened to me. Your SD card likely has a bad or corrupted file. I used Win7 to copy over what I could to a folder in my PC. The Win7 automatically refused to copy over the corrupted files while carrying over everything else. In XP, your file transfer stops and you have to try again to ensure you have everything that's not corrupted transferred over.
After copying, I just went ahead and formatted the SD to FAT32, transferred everything back, installed on my phone, and voila.

Go into recovery and partition the card. You'll lose everything on it but it should be useable after that

Holy Crap, SD card wiped?!

So, there I was happily running Sense 3 Pr4 and Dream Kernel 2.0.3 with the MR2.5, decide to reboot my phone before bed to let it charge at a decent rate, starts just booting over and over. Hits lockscreen, freeze, reboot. Annoyed I figure, ok, I'll go flash the kernel again, flashes pretty instantly, odd, but whatever, reboot... loops. So fine, I'll do a full recovery.... no recovery files... ok, I'll wipe data etc and install my rom zip off the card... [bad]. WTF? put the sd card in my laptop, all the folders are on my sd card, but noooo files, and the couple files that are left are 0kb, what the hell happened to all my stuff? any advice or help? Pretty please? got a recovery software, gonna see what I can salvage, but what happened here?!

i dont think that i have heard of this before. not with phones at least. sounds like ur card got formatted or something. u should be able to reformat the card and install all the roms, file system, etc u need from ur computer. it might be worth it to try to put some stuff on the card from ur computer to see if it will take. maybe a bad card ??? im not sure there is a complete reformat type of recovery out there. good luck.

Yep, I swear it has something to do with the modded USB Mount apk. I have heard of this happening a few times now.
I try to keep a backup of my SD on my lappy.

[Q] 32gb SD card wont format HELP!

Hey i started up Modern Combat 3 on my phone and i was playing for about 30 seconds when i got a error and the game closed i tried to open it but i wouldn't open at that point i figured there must be a problem with the sd card so i went in to settings and clicked on "SD & phone storage" the phone said my sd card Info was unavailable i so i tried to format it but i just would give a error I then booted into recovery and tried to format from there but when i do it, its says formatting... and it stays that way for 15 minutes never telling me that the format was successfully any ideas? this sd card is only just over a month old.
Also when the phone is on i can't go into disk mode it doesn't give me the option but when i do so from recovery my entire sd card loads and shows up on windows even showing all of my files, i can copy some files off the card others give me a error also instead of saying "removable disk" the drive now says "SDdata" when attached to my pc anyone experienced this I've also tried formatting from windows it just gives a error? I've been trying all night and can get it to work...Sucks and i can't return it because it crapped out like 2 weeks after the return policy
sorry about my grammar if its bad Im a little excited

Umm Anyone?

Try getting a card reader, connecting it directly to your computer and format it.

I recommend to use Gparted. Download iso image and burn it to cd, then boot from cd and do format. It is the best tool to manage filesystems, far better than windows.

That's not good. As said above, try GPartEd. It's available as a stand alone image, but it's probably easiest to get by downloading Ubuntu and using a program such as InfraRecorder (Burn Image command, not just copying the ISO) to burn that to a CD. Set your BIOS to boot from CD, and start up Ubuntu. Once you're on the desktop, click the Ubuntu logo in the top left hand corner, it'll open something called the Unity Dashboard, which has a search box on it. Type "gksudo gparted" and hit enter. From there, find your card in the list and right click it's analysis, click Delete Partition. Then Right click it again and hit New Partition, select FAT32 and close the dialogue box. Then Apply in the left corner. It'll say that any changes are irreversible and can damage the device. Just agree and hope it'll fix it.
However, after writing all that and thinking it over, it sounds a lot like hardware failure. Good luck.

Are you sure? It seems like you have alot of trouble typing. Are you eating cheetos right now?

[Q] help i think ive well and truly ****ed it

hiya i wonder if any1 can help!
basically my phone was telling me my sd card had been removed (no big deal i thought, this seems to happen to my phone from time to time since running this ROM (bruce2728's cm10)).
i can usually either remove the sd card and put back in, or the same with the battery to get it working again. but no matter how many times i try it wont work. also when using this ROM (and before this problem) every time that i try to enter storage from the settings menu, settings force closes.
so completely out of ideas i tried doing a wipe and trying again. now u see im fairly new to all this and that seems to get touted as a way to fix some things, so i thought id give it a go.
but now my phone wont get past the white with green HTC logo, its been sat like that for about an hour! and in recovery it just says that it cannot mount sd card!!
i feel im firmly up **** creek. is there any way to fix this? perhaps a way to flash a ROM without using sd card to a phone that wont boot up?
i feel i might need to flash a new bootanimation.img as i changed this from the default in the ROM, could i also do this without an sd card or a phone that wont get past HTC logo?
i hope there is someone out there that can help!
thank you in advance,
Max

I would install ARHD from Mike1986 it seems to help resettle the device running a sense ROM. Make sure you follow his instructions using ext4 and super wipe

I'm assuming you've tried pulling the battery, unseating the sd card, reseating it, putting battery back, and going to recovery right?
If that doesn't work I'd suggest trying to read the sd in card in a PC... is it readable there?
All in all you can get to recovery so you arent that bad off, just need to figure out what's up with the SD.

Yes I can view my SD card on both my PC and my tablet :/ but when I boot into 4ext it says problem mounting SD card, may take longer without. Then when 4ext loads I can't manually mount SD or browse for zip file. You think this is more likely a hardware issue with my sensation?

On your PC, copy all your files off your SD card, format your SD card (makes sure the filesystem is set to fat32), and then just put 1 file on it, a ROM, and see if the recovery detects it. If that doesn't work then you can always try using a different SD card.

This isn't part of your SD card problem. This was a ROM bug that was fixed in the Jan 9th update. Any use of the storage menu from the settings on the late December to Jan 6th builds caused a FC.
So if you are using one of those builds, don't factor in th esettings FC in your diagnosis of the problem.
SD card ejections were also an issue on the Dec 21 - Jan 3rd builds if I recall correctly. I had one day where the SD card would just unmount and refused to remount. It was a problem experienced by only a handful of people and seemed to be very limited. Though if you can't mount in recovery than that's probably not the issue.
Also, you said you could press the SD card into the slot and it mounted for a second...
2 things on that note.
First, your SD card might be the problem. Maybe the contacts are worn out. Take a lcose look at it and make sure it looks okay. No corrosion, etc...
Second, the metal housing around the SD card...that can be mashed in slightly to put more pressure on the card. Take the card out and press the middle of that housing in. It could create enough force to hold the card in more securely. Be VERY careful with this option though.
Also, did you make sure another SD card got the same problem? If another card works, then your card is just f'ed.

Find the exact rom you were on and take the boot IMG out of it. Wipe your data and cache and then boot to fastboot. With the boot.IMG
In your adb folder do fastboot boot boot.IMG and see if it boots into the rom.
