Error [228] : Invalid File Size

when i use RUU it comes up with this error and stops at 4% of the instalation.
when i try to flash the .nbh (any) file from the phone by holding the camera button when turning on, Herald freezes on the tricolor (red green blue) screen. it says.
IPL 4.17.0001
SPL 4.70.Yang
Dont know what to do, i must have done something wrong

Which ROMs have you tried? Some ROMs can only be flashed from an SD card because even the HardSPL requires at least 50mb (51200kb) to flash through ActiveSync.

be happy... when it shows 4.70.yang....
you can flash any rom.... but not one with wrong size..
hihihi

I had the same problem when i tried flashing a rom with herald uspl when it was actually supposed to be installed on sd. If it is meant to be installed by sd you need to fat 32 format your sd card and put nothing but the .nbh file on there, put it in your phone and then hold down the camera button and use your stylus to push the soft reset while still holding the cam button. It should then recognize the rom and you will be able to start flashing. If it just sits at the bootloader screen (rainbow screen) dont freak out just reset your device again, if that happens you may have a corrupt file.

Was this rom by chance open touch 4.0 micro? Because I had that problem also and I cannot figure it out.

I've tried Just2Clean and Open Touch v4.0 WM 6.1 both thru RUU and from SD card. had no luck in both cases. i really wanna have J2C tho.
Gonna try formating the SD and will report back. Regards

J2C has to be done through the SD card. Like armyboi4id said, fFormat the card to FAT32, place the HERAIMG.nbh on the SD card, press and hold the camera button and then press the soft reset with the stylus. When it comes up to press something to flash, press the volume down key. And just wait until it says that it's done.

ok, i've got J2C image on the sd card and nothing else. it is fat32, i press the camera button, reset it, then the tricolor screen. and that is it.
now i got two questions jsut to be sure. when do i release the camera button? and how long do i have to wait before the tricolor screen changes to anything else?

what's the correct size?

release the camera button when the bootloader comes up. it should recognize the sd card and .nbh almost immediately and go to a white screen.

Just hold the camera button until you see it saying "reading."
Again, like armyboi4id said.
The correct size is 50mb (51200kb) as I said.

aight, i reverted back to shipped wm6 and then flashed Open Touch 4.0 without Hard SPLing the device and it worked. maybe i wasnt supposed to hardspl it in the first place lol.
Thanks a lot for all the replies and all your help guys

hello,i got a problem i tried to flash few roms and after when i tried them they were hanging up,so i downloaded another and i couldn't turn the phone several times but somehow it worked and turn on so,i was putting it on device by RUU and in 48% it stopped and show error message and after 4 steps i've done them and disconnected phone from pc,taken battery out that was in these steps and after when now i am trying to do a hard reset or soft reset it sometimes doesn't turn on and sometimes goes to bootloader that only what it's doing, i can't even do hard reset because it goes everytime to bootloader, i don't have idea what to do so please help me,is any way to flash rom without RUU?

Have you CID unlocked the phone already with USPL or HSPL? That would be the first step, and might be the problem.

thank you jeremy,
I tried this method but it didn't work.
first i get the SD card and format it using windows (i tried both FAT, FAT32)
then extract the .nbh file from this package RUU_Elf_DOPOD_AU_1.14.710.2_4.1.13.46_02.97.90_BLUE_Ship.exe,
then i renamed it to ELF0IMG.nbh copied it to the root of SD card, then put the SD card in my device,
push and hold camera button and push the power button then the colored screen appeared but nothing happened. i tried also press and hold camera button then soft reset using stylus but it didn't work.
am i doing something wrong
Sorry i tired you

It should work.
It should say like ' do you want to flash your phone ' , press the power key to continue..
mmm, have you CID unlocked your phone?
have you tried flashing your phone?

how can i do that "CID unlock" ?

Go to the elf-upgrading forums and flash your ipl and spl to 3.10.
Cheers.
Can you start your phone in the first place?

no I cannot start my phone. it just freeze on the colored screen

[Q] microSD damage

I have big problem. Yesterday I bought the 32 gb sandisc microsd card(class 4) and I installed windows phone 7(blackSideSeven v1.13.7401), everything was fine, except marketplace(doesn't work). Today I have decided to install diffrent ROM, I choosed Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki] [7720 ready]. Rom was installed properly. I added my windows live and gmail accounts, changed data and time, I restarted phone. After that phone didn't work. System was loading, it stopped on "enter pin code" screen. It didn't respond to touch ;/ When i removed sd card touch screen was working, but i got alert "storage card not working" and I coudn't do anything(only emergency call). I installed clean wp7 DFT rom, but I had that same problem. I try to plug scdard to the computer, but it's not detectable ;/ None of the partition, nothing! Is card broken?

- To check the hardware side, take "h2testw". The card should be empty, so the tool could test the complete size.
The background is, that some large cards (16gb, 32gb,...) are fakes. simply wrong labeled.
- Have you take the right order. look: "-Flash the rom with DWI & Set a correct time & date".
dn

I tried to install this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236027
It works until the reset after zune installed wp7 software update. I had screen when I have to enter a pin, but i couldn't do that. The touch screen didn't work. Even tried WP7 Update Cab Sender to upload DEV_STORAGELOCK_REMOVE.CAB, but it alse didn't work. System couldn't load. When I unplug the usb cable, phone didn't turn on.
My microsd works, but i have to format it(in nokia) evety time when i want to install rom.

Again, i try to install android, but i have that same problem. HD2 doesn't work without usb connection, I can't turn it on ;/ What i should do..?

Turn phone off. Hold down the volume down key and power at same time until you see a tri colored screen. Connect your usb cable and you will see "usb" in the white section at bottom of your phone screen. Run task29 (search forum) this will erase nand. From there you boot back into the bootloader (tri colored Screen) and you can install WM6.5 or just flash magldr and go with a android rom. Or try WP7 again if you really want to.

[Q] HTC HD2 Stuck from Booting

Hi,
I was actually trying to put ICS on my device from GingerBread Nand.I connect device with USB and I was trying to Wipe using HD2 Nand Toolkit.As device reached 100%, it suppose to restart but in my case it hanged at 100% for 30 mins .Then I restart by removing the battery.Now when 3 color screen shows, it shows serial at the bottom but it change to usb when I connect to pc .The problem is now when I try to re-partition ,it says device is not connected.
So I thought I may be able to install windows by downloading actual rom from T-Mobile and place the file to sd card by renaming it to LEOIMG.nbh.I did it using a class 2 16Gb card.As I press both volume down key and power button, it goes right to the rainbow screen.Please help me!
