Flashing from SD card..bootloader mode?

deadparrot · #1 (**permalink**) 09-01-2008, 08:24 PM

I'm trying to flash the new radio without having to do a hard reset..From what I've read you get into bootloader mode by pressing power/camera/reset..I've already placed the VOGUIMG on the root of my sd card. All I get is the red/green/blue/white screen that says VOGU100 MFG SPL-2.31.CoKe etc..nothing happens it doesn't flash or prompt me to flash.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

you renamed it correctly so once you are there make sure the .nbh file is for the touch and hit reset again

I do that and get to the multi-color screen and nothing happens..what is supposed to happen? Due I hit something to initiate the flash?

IIRC you must have your card formatted as FAT32, and the default is FAT16... not sure where I read that tho... might be why it doesnt see it.

You need to rename the file to VOGUIMG.nbh
it should ask you to press power button to start reflash

It is because its not formatted correctly. You need to format the card as FAT32 like EtrnWolf said. Once its formatted to FAT32 , it will work.

Well guys then i'm stumped...I've done everything you've suggested and I don't get a prompt at all. It just sits at the multi color screen as says serial at the bottom..

I've got VOGUIMG.nbh on the card and its formatted to FAT32. I hit the power/camera/reset..

try reformatting the card with it hooked up to a memory card reader...and use the windows format option...select FAT32 and the rest of the defaults shold be fine...I did a properties on my flash card and windows says its fat32, but I dont think it is...Also, it only works on cards that are not SDHC

When i did this on my vogue, it wouldn't work unless:

1) the card was 512mb
2) formatted with card reader to FAT32
3) the card was empty except for the file being flashed.

Well, I dont know what the qualifications are...I know I tried without formatting the card because windows said it was fat32 when plugged into the phone and it did not work. I then reformatted as FAT32 with 512 Table on a 2gb card and it worked...I didnt flash, but the option came up finally...it wasnt a clean card either because I wanted to test to see if it overwrote the card, which I dont think it will...so these are my settings

2GB FAT32 512 bytes
