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.

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.
how to upgrade herald via sd card?(sd card flashing)
thanks
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!
Maybe a silly question.
I just got a nice 8GB microSDHC card.
Is there anything I need to do before or after I put it in where the current card is?
I would just copy your files to your computer. Put the new sd card in your phone and let it prepare it for you then copy all your files over to the new sd card.

Copy all the files?? I was afraid of that.
If you want everything to work as it should, yes you need to copy ALL files from the old card to the new one. You certainly dont have to, but whatever you dont copy wont work when you put the new card in.
my sd card is kingston sdc4\8gb formatted as FAT32
i did almost averything but still cannot flash ROMs from it
any idea?
What's the error?
Are you certain you renamed the .nbh file to topaimg.nbh?
Very easy:
- Download the rom you want.
- Rename the rom file to topaimg.nbh
- Copy this file to the root of the card
- Press the 2 up/down volume buttons (on the side of the phone) and softreset.
- Once you see the coloured screen release the buttons

I have the exact same microSD card C4/8GB Kingston formatted FAT32 on a HTC Pure. Can't use it to flash. Something must be wrong with this card.
had a great froyo on the sd card working for months. i tried 7 and want to go back to the sd card version. I have read a need to roll back to 6.5, but when I try to go into the boot logger all it comes up as serial. are there simple directions to flash the chuck light rom back that i loved. realative noob here so please help in simple terms if we can or point me in the right direction. thanks
have you connected the usb cabel.
yes and it stays at serial in the bootloader
instead of running from pc put the files on your sd card and restart phone.

Just stick a stock WinMo rom on root of your sd card and rename it to "leoimg.nbh" then power up into bootloader and flash rom from card.
but when i open the boot loader it says serial, i cant change it to sd card or usb.
are you entering the tri colour screen 3 or 4 different colours on screen.
if you put the file on sd card and rename as above post says you dont need to press anything it will go straight to the LEOIMG.nbh file
somebody need to do a video on it on youtube????????
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrmlqrfCvas
its a 4 color screen
and since the win 7 is loaded it wont allow me to hook it with active sync so i could even put the old bootloader on.
have you tried putting the files on the sd card (format card 1st)
yeah, no luck with the files on sd card.
did u rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
ok. got back to 6.5. went to load android on my 16 gb card, which is now telling me its only 199 mb card...any ideas. stuck it in the computer to see if i could format it and it says its only 200 mb card?
yes when you put 7 on it it messes the card up use sd formatter you will get the full 16 back get it from here http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/eula/
would of been nice a little thank you or summit.TUT TUT TUT.
