In summary:

1. My phone is already unlocked using the Hard-SPL method
2. In order to flash a rom from the microsd card do I have to do anything else besides rename the RUU_signed.nbh to RAPHIMG.nbh and put it in the root of my storage card? (and obviously get it into bootloader mode).

I did this just this morning and whenever I got it to the tricolor screen, it would not detect the nbh file and it didn't try to load it. This in spite of having reformatted the microsd in fat 32, and making sure the file is exactly: RAPHIMG.nbh

Thanks. (For your info, i'm trying to flash MightyRom 6.0)

usually when it doesn't find the file that means one of a few things.

the sd card is not formatted correctly (may be fat instead of fat 32 or used a non standard means of formatting it) try using nue storage to format it. sometimes it is really fat 32 just something about the format is not right for the SPL.

the file is not renamed properly. the stock rom loves to use its intelesense to rename the nbh file to RALPHIMG.nbh when I tried to make it RAPHIMG.nbh also if you renamed it using your phone WM hides extensions so if you see RAPHIMG.nbh using the file explorer you probably named it RAPHIMG.nbh.nbh

or similarly to this, if you have encryption activated all files now have .menc after them on your sd card leading back to them not being named properly.

lastly MANY people actually make a folder named root and put the file in there, root of any directory/drive/device is just the base level of the directory. in this case /storage card/RAPHIMG.nbh
