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

I concure it looks to me like he is trying to flash the phone by two seperate methods at one card.

Also just becaues you can run apps via your sd card, doesn't mean the card can flash, its an unknown reason why some cards just can't seem to flash, but it usually ends up being a "bargain" brand of card. the spl is just really particular with what it looks for it seems.

Re: [HOW-TO] - - Flash a Rom or Radio on your TP2 from the SD card
 
Hi guys,

I tried both.

I have tried flashing using ONLY the phone with the ROM placed in the card and pressing down volume/start. It goes to Loading.... and just sits there.

I have also tried flashing by leaving the phone connected via usb to the laptop and running the .exe flasher. Following the command prompts to flash this way, I get the 0 - 100 scale to pull up on my laptop screen, but it never moves. On the phone, same as always, i get Loading...

I am using a Sandisk 4 GB card.

In both methods i made sure the right file was in root, no encryption, etc...

Hi again,

I did read the entire posting.

I looked and saw that my phone was already showing unlocked when i looked in settings. I never thought that i would have to unlock it again, thats why i never tried.


I guess it cant hurt, so ill give it a shot.

I LOVE the new ROM......so much better/faster!

Been following your directions to flash from sd card but phone stays on bootloader screen. a message flashes on screen "no image file" and then the phone just sits on the bootloader screen........any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: [HOW-TO] - - Flash a Rom or Radio on your TP2 from the SD card
 
no image file means it cannot find the file on your card so theres a few option
A.) not on the root/base/no folder of the sd card
B.) not named correctly needs to be RHODIMG.nbh download total commander to make sure file explorer isn't hiding anything from you.
C.) the sd card is not formatted correctly
D.) sd encryption is enabled
E.) if all else fails try a new sd card sometimes people just get cards that wont work for some unknown reason, I recommend sticking with sandisk or kingston ive never had problems with those two brands.
