[HOW-TO] - - Flash a Rom or Radio and re-locking on your TP2 from the SD card

[cornelious2]

I believe certain cards are made with better or worse standards and those standards can affect how well it works with the bootloader ive never had a problem with sandisk and kingston

Funky SD card is also my problem.
I was trying to SD flash from a TOPRAM 16gb card without success and found my 8gb Sandisk which worked without a problem.

Thanks again guys.

My Sandisk 4GB (class 2) and 8GB (class 4) cards work fine.

My A-Data 16GB (class 6) card doesn't.

A couple of questions:
- Anyone have a class 6 card of any brand and size work?
- Anyone have a 16 GB card of any brand and speed work?

[cornelious2]

all I have is a class 4 8gb and a few 1-2 gb class 2s so one of those combinations could be the problem people are having.

I am wondering too. There is a poster on the SD Flasher thread that says he flashes with a 16gb card...

I recently purchased a 16gb card and I have successfully flashed twice from it. I'll add in what brand it is in a bit..i'm laying in bed right now and don't feel like getting up to turn the light on lol. As far as speed goes, i've noticed no difference from when I had my 4gb card in. Hope this helps!

I've read this entire thread and hoping someone can assist here........


I have a Sprint TP2 and i've been trying allllllll day to flash the brand new energy ROM. I can get all the way to a white Loading.... screen, but it just sits there and wont go further. I have the entire Energy ROM loaded up on my micro card (4 GB). I have tried using a laptop connection (synch) and stand-alone. Same thing happens, Loading... is all i get.


Here are things i know:

1. Its named correctly and in the "root" (empty) space.
2. I've checked the synch in settings and also made sure encryption is off.
3. I formatted the card (twice) using Fat32.


One other question. Do i need to back up my contacts before this?

Thanks,
Glade

[cornelious2]

yes, backup your contacts first, I reccomend using ppcpimbackup, and or google sync (setting up your gmail as an exchange server). as far as for it still not working, the last thing I can say is try a different sd card and if you still have no luck try using nuestorage to format your card.

i wish i could figure this out again.

I know the micro card works, i can run apps off it.

I formatted again w/FAT32 and ONLY loaded the RHODIMG.nbh file and left the rest on my laptop. This time i used the .exe utility, hit next, next, etc.. and it went into loader. From that it immediately went to the white, Loading... screen and sat there.

Eventually the .exe loader program timed out and it told me that i either had a USB to phone connect failure, or vice-versa.

I've rechecked all the other settings previously mentioned (encryption, etc..) and they still are good.


ughhhhhhhh!!

Are you trying to flash while still connected to you're laptop? I know its a silly question but you never know..
