Flashing from Micro SD Card

kashabrown · #1 (**permalink**) 05-14-2008, 07:11 AM

I have followed the instructions in the wiki over @ XDA - renamed the file I want to flash to - made sure that my card was formatted for FAT32 - go into the bootloader mode - once I do that - WHAT do I do next to initiate the flash?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the help - but it still doesn't work. I have put the file on the root directory, made sure it's FAT32 - put the card in - got to the bootloader (SP2.40) - all I get is the tri color screen with serial on it - WHAT initiates the flashing process??!!! Someone pls help - this is driving me crazy!

Make sure you disable USB in active sync.....did you put the signed NBH file in and if so make sure you renamed it to what it states in the post...

Make sure you name the file TITAIMG.nbh

This is what I was forgeting to do a while back.

1. Using a PC, format a microSD card to FAT32.
2. Using winrar or an unzipper, extract the RUU_signed.nbh file from the ROM upgrade .exe.
3. Copy the *.nbh file to the root directory on the formatted microSD card
4. Rename the file on the microSD card TITAIMG.nbh.
5. Insert the microSD card into the phone and reset into bootloader (power, camera, reset).
6. Follow on-screen instructions on the phone.

This apparently requires the phone to already have the appropriate unlocked bootloader installed (Olipro 2.40 hard-SPL in most cases). Some users have been unable to use SDHC (4gb and up) cards.

Also, I have seen mention somewhere that the rom you want to flash has to be the ONLY thing on the card.

As long as the ROM to be flashed is properly named and in the root directory, the card may contain other files.
