this didn't work for me a few months ago, when i first tried it (got stuck in bootloader), but i want to revisit and try again. After step 3, do you put the newly named .nbh file back inside the .rar file or do you put both the rar and nbh file on your sd card?

I just put the .nbh on the sd card root directory.

so you don't even need anything else in the compressed file? just the .nbh? That would be where I went wrong. OK, thanks gotta go try this NOW!

correct you only need the .nbh file to flash

I've tried this and in the past with my TP. For the guys having issues, do you have an SDHC card in your phone? I have an 8 gig that will never flash a rom from the card. I'm not sure why but it just refuses to work. I have a few old regular 1 and 2 gig regular SD cards and they will all flash seamlessly from SD. I don't know why but I remember this being an issue back in the TP1 days as well. I just keep an extra card with ROMS if I feel the need to flash but perhaps it's certain brands of SDHC? Again, I don't know but it has been the case with a few of my friends as well.

I only flash from an 8 gig sdhc, you might just have a bum card, there or a really common thing is for peopel to think its formatted fat 32 when its really formatted fat, or people selected custom options when formatting and did not leave the defaults alone.

Corn2 just stopping in to say thanks, you're providing a valuable service with these threads. Keep it up dude.

Just doing what I can since making a decent rom seems to be beyond my time constraints... funny how a wife and kid does that to your time constraints... LOL!

Well, I just got it to work. I tried formatting the card with Windows XP and then transferred the file over to the card. The program I had said that it formatted the card using FAT32. But, apparently either the sector size was wrong. But, wanted to thank everyone! This is a VERY cool way to do your phone.

This is so far the best ROM I have used as a Sprint user. It's fast, responsive, and have not ran into any "issues" and highly doubt Sprint themselves could create a better 6.5... Major Thanks!
