1. There is already a walkthrough that I myself created. Please search.
2. This subforum is for posting on MAKING ROMs. There is another forum for help.
i found this and i post here
format sd card to fat32
copy *.nbh file to root of sd card and rename it to HERAIMG.NBH
make sure battery charge more than 50%
press and hold camera button then press reset via stylus(or remove battery hold camera button and place battery again) and device will be flash with SD Card.
thats all.
i am unable to do this..my device takes me to bootloader screen. what do to?
So you're saying you formatted the memory card to FAT32, renamed the file to HERAIMG.nbh and put it on the card, then put it in the phone, and WHILE THE PHONE IS ON pressed and held the camera button and then soft resetted the phone with the stylus, HOLDING THE CAMERA BUTTON the whole time?
If ^that^ doesn't work, then either you're using a SDHC, which is not compatible, or your card is not fast enough.

These are two things you should really know before messing around with your phone and potentially bricking it.
There are many guides on how to format on google (it depends on your computer's Operating System). There are many guides on what FAT32 is on google, as well.
As far as where is the nbh file. It's THE ROM that you downloaded.
Knowledge is the best way to safeguard your phone from any damage.
Hope that was helpful. ^_^
Something that you might have missed...
I too was having issues of the phone going into the bootloader. Now if you follow the instructions to the letter it does work. However, if you think that my SD Card is already formatted to FAT32 and I have a bunch of space left. Then it wont work! It SEEMS you have to have nothing but the nhb file on the SD Card. That is reformat the SD Card then put the file on, and you'll be sweet!

I am using xda1 and would like to upgrade it to WM2003 (T-mobile CE Rom). However, after I wrote the ROM (NK.nbf) to my 128M SD card through a SD card read/writer by XDA OSImage Tool, I pressed the power button together with soft reset to the bootloading mode and put the SD card into my xda, nothing happen. It does not check the new rom, why?
You have to insert the SD-Card BEFORE you go into Bootloader-Mode.
Greetings, Kaputter :shock:
I also tried that, I input the SD card first and pressed to the wallaby bootloader mode (v5.15).
What it showed was just the "white/red/green/blue" page and checked GSM ok. Any other button I have to pressed?
Chris it means that the card has not been written to properly I think, try writing the file again, if you put it in your xda without going into bootloader, it should offer to format the card for you, just say no to the question then try again, if it doesnt offer to format the card it means the file has not been written correctly.
Yeah, you are right.
When I inserted the card (that I think written with the NK.nbf) in the card reader/writer, it didn't ask me to format the card. When I open the explorer for that drive, I saw the nbf file there.
I tried to write the file several times and same results.
Let me explore my case a bit. I used the XDA OSimage tool and for the Source, I chose the file (NK.nbf that contains the T-mobile 4.01.00 downloaded from other thread in this forum) in my computer (WIN2000) and for the destination, I chose the G:NK.nbf.
Any thoughts?
You need to choose destination from the drop down box, it should show your card reader there, then it will work.

That's your problem right there.
You can't just do a windows/dos 'file copy' to write the ROM image to the SD card. You need to use XDAtools or its predecessor XDArit to copy a raw ROM image to the card. The difference is that the card must ONLY have the Rom image and not the FAT, etc information that gets added in when the card is formatted.
This is why under the correct circumstances the XDA gets confused when you first stick the card in - it sees a card that isn't formatted so it offers to format it so the card can be written to.
The bootloader method is IMO the best way to upgrade the ROM. Read up some more on XDAtools and how it can be used to write the ROM image to the SD card.
But I did use the OSImage Tool already. For the source, I choose the NK.nbf file from my PC and I choose the SD card drive for the destination.
But the actual problem seems solved for me. The actual reason for upgrading to WM2003 for me is to view and edit the office attachment whenever received from my e-mail. In the past, I can't read the word or excel document without activesync the files. Now, by using an add-in software, I can.
Thanks very much to everybody.
Hi, how do i put original stock rom into diamond 2 when im going to send my phone to repair, because of faulty usb-pc connection. Is there any way? because i cant send it with cooked ROM
Use SD card. Take a card less than 8GB. Format it to FAT32. Copy ruu_signed.nbh to card and rename it to topaimg.nbh. Put phone in boot loader and follow instructions.

If you name it topaimg.nbh it probably won't flash.
Has to be TOPAIMG.nbh
It doesn't matter, you can use both, small or capital letters. It worked for me in both ways.
Good to know. I have heard of it failing if it is not exact.
hi everyone,
yesterday i've installed window phone 7 on my HD2 (my current OS is NAND android). After few hours try it, i'm really disappointed b/c it's too boring. i've formatted my SD card by mini tool partition 5.2 to back to android. When i format complete, i copy file from my laptop to sd card normally. after that, i boot my phone and try to copy a new file and it's done. But the problem is when i plus my sd card into phone, the phone see the card but my new file is not enable. I've formatted the card and my phone but nothing appear. Please help me
I don't know "mini tool partition" and I'm too lazy to search so I will take your words.
You just format your SD? Did you notice that it's just a 200Mo SD now?
You copied files to your SD "normally"... what do you mean by "Normally" (via card reader, in WM7, in MAGLDR... there's so many "normally" so it's difficult to know which one is yours).
You format the card and your phone... what do you mean by formating your phone? You put it in the card reader of your laptop, right clic on it and choose "format"??? And after format it's still booting?
I would like to help... help me to understand your problem.
(maybe English is not easy for you, I can understand but the result make it very difficult to understand... if this is the case, try again please).
I use this litle apps, its for free and works perfect
1. minitool partition wizard
2. panasonic sd formater
So u already got partition wizard than use panasonic formater after.
Should help u.
And also if u have digital camera with SD slot u can try to format in that camera. I have read about it somewhere.
ive had the HD2 w/ WP7 for about a month and have loved every bit of it. Today it was working fine, died while i was out and about so when i got home i put in my extra battery, but now it just keeps resetting itself over and over, i took out the SD card and it loaded fine except with none of my info... is there any solution besides flashing it again?
really nothing so far?
Best way in my opinion would be to backup all your sd, format and transfer it back on. If that doesnt work could be something on the sd conflicting with the boot process... just my two cence

i just dont get how it would be working fine, die, and then no longer function properly
first go and download easeus partion manager
http://www.partition-tool.com/
copy your old SD card,using this free software specifically the unpartitioned part from your SD card (the wp7 partition) and calculate the rest of the new SD card to be fat32 or 16.
use an SD card higher than 4GB, 8GB is good try to be sandisk CL4 less error with this type, not totally guarantied as per some users!!!
N.B: first charge your first battery, and try it before gg into this.if every thing is back to normal.it would be battery compatibly with wp7 or something...
and good luck!!! if problem persist you know what to do !!!!

alright thanks, im using the 16gig SD that T-Mobile gave me btw... im gonna start the process now, i got a feeling that my day is gonna end with a hard reset and having to go back and get all my damn apps haha. on the bright side i can do some extra tweaks that i didnt want to do before
alright now i feel stupid, i can not figure out how to copy the card,
I also cant access anything on the SD card, none of my pictures, or app data, is this normal?
yes normal, that's because only wp7 will read ur SD card,
when i asked to copy your card is to copy it through easeus and put it back in your wp7 hd2 to read it the new SD card
gd luck mate

after you downloaded the software, choose the partions it has to be two form your sd card.
one partitioned as fat16 small size and other unpartitioned big part.
choose one and a copy icon will be functional press it and follow the steps...
enjoy mate..
Hi, I recently flashed my 1st ROM, an Android rom to my HD2. I followed a guide in a recent edition of Micro Mart magazine. Everything went great & the rom is up & running, the only problem i'm having is with the SD card. I just get a notification saying 'SD card damaged'.
I've looked around on the forums & i've read numerous threads on SD card problems but I don't know which is relevant to my problem. The SD card works fine in other devices, just not on the Android rom. Im using the Cyanogen 'gpc_hd2_gingerbread_v1.7' NAND rom. Do i have to create an ext3 partition to get my SD card recognised?
Sorry for another SD card thread but this is my 1st time flash & Android rom so I really dont know about these ext partitions and how they are supposed to work!
Thanks for any advice in advance,
Tom
You might want to reformat your SD card. Get your SD card out and format it to fat32(important) using a card reader. Also make sure to backup your SD.
Try that.
Sorry I forgot to mention I tried it from a fresh format in windows, although I've read about the Panasonic formater so I could give that a go when I get home.
Yes you might want to reformat your SD card I suggest you use this software to format it. Also make sure you do a full wipe and format it using Fat 32.
One more thing is have you checked to see if your Android is mounting your SD card? When you boot your HD2 up and you see the Android lock screen appesr do you see it say preparing your SD card at the top of the screen?

Yes I remember seeing it saying preparing but then it just switches to the damaged notification. If I then select that, it brings up a box saying it may need to be formatted but selecting that doesn't seem to do anything, the damaged notification just stays there.
I've got it working. I followed the guide in this thread & it worked 1st time. Just follow it carefully and slowly
