CHECKSUM does not match

Hi there,
I have searched for this problem and found various suggestions involving xdarit etc but none seem to help.
I am getting the above message following a ROM flash, using sd card writen with xdarit. I have tried 3 different roms all producing the same result. Originally tried flashing with a w2003 rom but would be grateful to get anything working!!
The xda will now only show bootloader and some checks.
Wallaby bootloader 5.15
Anyone able to help?
Kind regards

Have you tried another SD-Card? MAybe there is a problem...
Flashed my device about 50 times, and had sometimes (about 2 or 3 times) the same problem.
Reflashing worked then fine...
Stefan

Thanks
I have tried anther sd card with the same result.
FYI I am formating sd cards FAT before writing rom to them
Could I be using the wrong rom?
Kind regards

maybe a corrupt file sometimes files taken from the internet gets damaged on their way to you

Where should I obtain a bog standard rom?

bog ? as in a swamp ?
not sure what a bog rom is but here he have many roms
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/

bog standard AKA original basic unaltered rom
Thanks for the link, I have been using these roms but will try try again.
Q Should xda be on mains power when flashing or does it make no difference ?

yes it should have power from the cradle or the power connetor

Thanks
I am downloading another rom will try again.
Kind regards

Hi
I have just downloaded a new rom and written to sd with xdarit, flashed and received following message again.
"CHECKSUM is not correct"
Could this have anything to do with the formatting of the sd card?
Anyone have any more suggestions
Kind regards

should not as far as i know iso tool should give the sdcard it's own format which only the xda can read
and of cause the sd card have to be 64MB or over a 32MB card will not do

Hi
I am using 64Mb SD cards.
Just failed again, here's what I did.
Downloaded ROM, copied it to SD with axdrit, message "xdarit successfully copied image of 65026 blocks.
Inserted card into xda, got :-
Wallaby Bootloader v5.15 GSM OK screen then:-
SD Download
Card Type:
CE OS
Press Action to Download or REC to Exit.
Pressed action and got:-
Please wait for download
PRG 00000000
END 02000000
"Flash Writing"
Followed by :-
Download completed
CheskSum is not correct
COLD BOOT TO RESET
What is going wrong?

is that a problem? i remember getting the checksum is not correct problem as well in the end. but after cold reset, the device worked fine. or so it seems to. should i be worried?

Extending RAM

Hi , i have been using HTC P3300 for a while. Actually i am satisfied overall. But when i started to use Opera usually i am facing with "out of memory" message. Also when i use IGO8 memory is reaching its limits.
Therefore i would like to learn if there is some way to extend the RAM of my device ?

If you search the site you are ganna see
YuE Extraclean ROM 4.4, download it, change it pagepool to 4, install it through SD card after backing up all contacts and msgs, then you will enjoy enough RAMs.

thanks a lot, i already downloaded the file but i dont know how to install it. would you please explain step by step.
thanks in advance

hi,
i am trying to flash my device using SD card but when i follow the instructions in Wiki i cannot do it. I am pressing the record button down and pressing the RESET button as explained. And suddenly i can see a white screen with "searching for sd card" message then it switches to the 4 coloured screen which indicates the version information and it freezes as it is. I had doubt about my sd card but when i turn on the device i can see there is no problem with it.
Would you please suggest how can i flash my device with SD card ?
Or would you please tell the best way to learn how to upgrade my device with a ROM.
thanks in advance.

I hope you have named the ROM file as ARTEIMG.NBH and copied it to the SD Card 's root?
Also, have you formatted your SD Card to FAT32?

yes i did it. but when it starts to flash, after a while it says "unknown certificate" ,
what shall i do ?

Storage card flashing problem.. "No image file!"

Hello everybody,
2 days ago i flashed the dutty r5 NOR by accident, should have been NLD.
I cannot understand NOR whatsoever so i tried to re-flash my phone with the NLD version, but when i go into bootloader mode it cant find the image file. Im sitting at 90% battery charge.
What i do:
1) USB connection between phone and pc.
2) Copy + Paste the TOPAIMG.NHB in my storage card.
3) Disconnect USB between phone and pc.
4) Power off the phone (by holding the power button and press yes)
5) Press and hold volume down button and the power button
6) I see a rainbowscreen with the specs i persume from my phone
7) for 0,5 sec, i see the following:
Loading...
No image file!
8) Rainbowscreen again, and on the bottem 'serial' in the white color.
What did i do wrong? It should work..
Its very annoying to have a phone in a language you dont understand
Thanks in advance

Edit:
Currently i cant flash through my pc with active synch connection because my laptop is back to the factory for repair.
Cant find the Cd that came with the phone to install windows mobile device center, which is for vista+ , and this pc is xp professional. :\

2) Copy + Paste the TOPAIMG.NBH in my storage card.
Further try formatting your SD-card with FAT32. That in combination with renaming your file to the right extension, should work.

Thanks for the response.
I made a typo in the openingspost.
The image file on the storagecard is TOPAIMG.NBH.
I flashed the current ROM via the storagecard so it should
be fat32. I'll try to reformat the storagecard and see what happens.
*thumbs up*

It didnt work, any other ideas ?
my original rom was in another language, maybe that aint allowed? to flash a new rom in a different language.

True, unless you have HSPL this won't work.

Yes i am aware of that. I already have HSPL installed on my phone, as i've done phone flashing on via my storage card before.
I re-installed HSPL, just to try , but it still doesnt work

Nope, no typo's, "TOPAIMG.NBH" just like that =p

Have you tried TOPAIMG.nbh (lower case .nbh)?

I had the same issue flashing the original 6.5 OEM flash and Dutty's.
I have a 16GB card. I think that may be the issue. Perhaps 8GB or less will be recognised.
Anyway. All I did was use the wrapper method.
I booted to HardSPL and then connected it to the PC, ran the wrapper file included with the firmware and went through the modified firmware wizard on the PC and all sorted

In case anyone else comes across this thread while having this problem...
I had the same problem with my Rhodium. The problem disappeared when I switched from formatting that particular SD card with FAT to FAT32.
So, try FAT32 and see if that helps!

Finally!!!! took me forever to fix this. So my problem was the same, after flashing a custom ROM thru RUU, I got stuck in the splashing screen and kept getting "No image file" in HardSPL. So my solution was "SWITCH my FAT32 8GB microSD with a FAT32 4GB microSD". That's all! hope this will help someone else too.
Happy New Year!!!

Well i didnt fix it, still didnt flashed the rom that i wanted (in dutch) but i went back to WWE, that díd work.. eventually

Followed Instructions - Still Bricked

So today I wake up to see that the buttons on my Tmobile wing are not responding. I reset my phone and it went to a screen that is a RED, GREEN, BLUE, WHITE screen, Which I have never seen before.
It says:
IPL 4.26.0002
SPL 4.26.0000
I found a few helpful threads on this site, one in particular:
[Walkthrough] How to fix your bricked phone (ivanmmj)
I then began the installation expecting to be able to use my phone again.
On the Rom utility program it reads: Congratulations! You ROM update is now complete. Your PDA phone is ready for use.
What next? My phone still shows the same screen. I try to power it off and nothing happens. I reset the phone and it's back to the same screen. Not sure if there's a thread on this but I will continue to look for it. Meanwhile if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.
I am running Windows XP.
Active Sync couldn't connect to my phone.
Thanks!

You will need to search for instructions on how to flash from SD card.
You are going to need a MicroSD card that is 2GB's or less
Just format the card to FAT32, place the ROM file named "HERAIMG.nbh" into the root directory, turn on the phone and press the reset/camera buttons at the same time and it should read the card. It will ask you to press down on the volume slider and it will flash right from the card.
This is just a short version of the actual steps but I thought it would help get you on the right track. Good luck.
-Dan

Thanks alot, kinda new to the whole flashing my phone. Never had issues before, will go get a micro sd card.
Hopefully that works, thanks

Your welcome,
Just make sure your SD card is the standard capacity 2GB or less. If you buy a SDHC card that is 4GB or more it will not work.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
-Dan

Alright so i finally was able to get a MicroSD Card with a adapter due to my pc not accepting MicroSD Cards. Now I'm looking through threads (using the search option) Trying to find something that will assist me in the process. From what I have found so far, I only find guides for other phones or other ways of fixing your phone. Have yet to find one that helps me bring my phone back to life.
If anyone can, please link a thread that will help me. Meanwhile, I will still be looking for a thread.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Help revert OTA 3.2 back to 3.0.1

good afternoon
I have an ACER Iconia Tab to 500 HC 3.2 and using the second method of this post (Revert OTA 3.2 back to 3.0.1) and gets the android logo and a yellow triangle, someone might say it is?
Or if someone knows how to connect this tablet in Windows XP
thanks

Did you remember to extract the zip file that was in that post? The file that is to be extracted is update_not_stable.zip. Once you extract that, there should be a file that is called "update.zip". Make sure that is the file that is on your external SD card.

yes, I put the update.zip on the microsd and also have put the update.zip for content if that, but it works.
thanks

So does that mean you got it to work? I'm not sure if I fully understand your last post.

my English is disastrous to use a translator to express myself. Did not mean that workers but does not perform the recovery

Could you possibly outline the steps your performed so far, and perhaps I or someone more knowledgeable than I can offer better assistance.

I followed the steps are:
1 - I downloaded the file.
2 - I've extracted and copied to the microsd (update.zip) formatted to fat32
3 - I turned on the Iconium and has begun "erasing cache beforing SD update... booting recovery kernel image"
4 - android robot appears with a band and then carrying out erde a triangle with an exclamation in the middle of the icon.

Hmmmmm, I can't see anything that jumps out at me as being some wrong.
The update.zip is still zipped right? You right clicked on "downgrade_not_stable", extracted that, removed update.zip and out that file (which will be unzipped) into the root of your external SD card.
There is also the off chance that the file you downloaded got corrupted for whatever reason. If it won't work perhaps you can try to download it again and follow the steps.

hello,
i have the same problem. I did the same : unzipped, put on the external sdcard the file and I have the logo of the bot with the yellow triangle..
I downloaded again and again, restart from the beginning and I can't downgrade.
someone has an idea why it doesn't work ?
Thanks

same issue with mine... not too sure why i'm getting the error as I've been able to do things with the SD card before, so I don't think its an SD card problem.

Not SD problem
I already tried with differentes SD cards. They all work, but unable to start the downgrading !!
Maybe the file is not compatible with my tablet. How can we check ?

What tab to you have? The A500?
Make sure that it is the file "update.zip" that is on your sd card. Make sure this update.zip is still a zipped file.
Other than that, I don't know what could be wrong. I did the downgrade with no issues.

Thanks for the answer.
My tablet is an iconia A500.
I unzipped the file downloaded, that gave an update.zip. I put it on the SD card. The tablet recognized the file but stop just after find it.
I have no idea whatelse to do.

TRy and try again.
Finally it worked !!!
It was a download problem in fact for me.
I hope it can help.

maybe i'll try downloading on another computer (this one has XP?) and see if that makes a lick of difference. this is getting frustrating.

Still no go. Even did everything just on the iconia and still get the yield sign when trying to recover during boot.

Hi , I did it right now and it worked , installed iconiaroot and CWM and all went fine, but I have another problem now :
external miniSD can't be seen anymore and I'm not able to install any custom rom . If I go to recovery and pushing "install zip from" : it always goes to E: directory sdcard (and it 's not found)
Is there anyone that can help me ?
Thanks
Ramp

Hello,
I had this problem with the update of tabonay. The problem was a ";" at this end of the file :update.zip
Retry and check you have a .zip at the root of the external SD card

Hi
The problem is that I can't see neither micro sd external card nor USB pen anymore on my system
Please help
Thanks

Great that It worked for you, It doesn't work for me, do you think this will work with a USB since I can't get it to work with an SD
