Cannot flash from sd card but can flash from USB

Hi i have flashed my HD2 from a sd card for more than 30 times but now I am unable to flash using my sd card.
I get into the boot loader mode with leoimg.nbh on sd card, but in the bootloader mode white colored loading screen appears for some fractions of a second and returns to tri color screen.
I was using Ozrom on the device last when i discovered this problem.
spl - 1.42.hspl
cotullahspl
Please help...
Sorry for my bad english.
Also I had already done alot of searching but could not find anything...
Update :
Now i cant flash from usb also. First I was able to flash from usb but now I cannot.
-Tried using a new sd card and formatted with fat32 file system. Problem still exists...
-Checked the file name and extensions its not "leoimg.nbh.nbh".
-Tried flashing just leoimg.nbh on card
-tried flashing with 5 different roms from different cooks
-tried renaming the file to capitals LEOIMG.nbh
-updated the hspl to hspl2 2.08
Problem is not solved.

There may be a problem with the sd card. Are you still using the same card you have used before? If so, try formatting the card (FAT32) or try a different sd card if you have one.
You can of course continue using usb, sd card flashing is only really needed in order to remove hspl.

Maybe is your card corrupted, try to format it in FAT32...

Tried using a new sd card and formatted with fat32 file system. Problem still exists...

Mate, you only need to flash from sd card when you cant flash from usb. I dont know why you are getting this error but dont worry too much. Did you name the file correctly (leoimg)? It's easy to make a mistake here. Some people rename the file to leoimg.nbh - you dont need to add the .nbh. It's already an nbh file - so you would end up with leoimg.nbh.nbh
Lastly dont flash a 2.10 rom via sd card or you will end up stuck with an spl that you cant change

i know about the file extensions and file names...i am flashing since 3 years from memory card....i am not a newbie..tell solutions other than the problems occured to noobs...like rename error..format memory card stuff...i want some solution other than that..
thanx alot for your support its really appreciated...looking forward for your help..hope now this time you can divert me in the right direction

Please xda. This problem may arise and annoy many users. so please help so that we can find some solution..

problem still exists can anyone help?

I always used to flash my diamond from internal storage when i had it. Got my HD2 and carried on flashing from SD for my first 2 or 3 ROMs and then it stopped working having the same thing as you. As if it tries to read the .nbh then goes back to the bootloader. I havent let it worry me as im nearly always next to a pc when im flashing a new ROM (have to be now), but I would be interested to find the answer as well.

but no one is really interested to reply here peovide a solution.....infact they are advising to flash from a pc...but i want to flash from a sd card

Just keep using USB, less lilkely to go wrong anyway

Cant open NBH file?

Im having a big problem trying to install energy maxsense rom, i jsut successfully hardspl'd my phone and now i have tried both methods of installing the rom and through the computer it tells me the file can't be opened and when i go into bootloader with it on my sd card nothing is happening any ideas ?

yes, the stock 16gb card doesnt work for flashing roms. use a smaller card.
When you try on the PC, what do you mean by the file cant be opened? you arent clicking teh .nbh file are you? you need to put it in a folder with customruu.exe, so there are just the two files, then run customruu.exe (right click and run as administrator)

i ditched the 16 gb card from the rip since it was only class 2 im using a class 6 8 gb card and when i have just the two files in a folder on my desktop and run the ruu it tells me it cant open the nbh file ???? im at a loss i dont know what else to do ?

for sd card, make sure it is formatted fat32, they sometimes arent. Also, there have been some (not loads but some) reports of teh same problem with 8gb as with 16gb.
as for the PC flash, download it again.

I've noticed if it's a problem with the card being too big it will usually show "loading" for a split second after going into bootloader. At least for me (with the stock 16gb and another 8gb card)

Downgrade 1.72.405.3 for S-OFF users?

Hey guys,I am stuck for some time now with the 1.72 OTA and was unable to root.
Some time today I saw jkoljo's post with instructions to downgrade the 1.72 OTA for those who didn't s-off before they applied it.I asked there and I got a kind answer that I should use the PD98IMG.zip provided in jkoljo's first post from a member whose name is unfortunately escaping me right now.However,that didn't seem to be enough.I downloaded the PD98IMG.zip and copied it to my SD card's root folder(I use a 16GB Class 10 Kingston card),I rebooted into bootloader but when it checked for the image it found nothing.So what do I do?
I don't know if anyone has the same problem.Apparently the guide was written for those who hadn't s-off'ed,as jkoljo himself told me,but nothing was written for those of us who did get s-off.Probably it was considered that we knew all well how to downgrade,but that's something I don't do everyday.So if anyone can please guide me on how to do it I'd be very very grateful!
Many thanks guys!And sorry for being a nuisance to some!

as you seem like an experienced user i won't explain certain things i.e. what a gold card is LOL
but here goes,
try using a smaller SD CARD prefebly 4gb formated to fat32. transfer the file again, or redownload that file and transfer?
device branded?create a gold card?
if all fails, download the 1.34 RUU and find the rom.zip in the %temp% folder when you are running it (without the phone connected) not the whole process ofcourse just so it loads the rom.zip file in the temp folder that is done usually after it asks you to connect the phone.
if this is done copy this onto the sd card. re run the hack for the 1.72 and carry on with instructions, then carry on by following original root instructions.
hope to have helped.
peace

Yes try a smaller SD card. An SD card. Not a big ass SDHC.

Ok...I'll try a 4Gb one and see if it works!
And El_Nino9,I am a little experienced,but the fact that I might have a 0,0001% chance of bricking my phone makes me act frickin' stupid!
Anyway,can I do all that without also downgrading my radio?Or will I just have to reupgrade my radio afterwards?(God,I hate radio flashing! )
Thanks!

Well,I tried my freshly formatted 4Gb card(the one that came with my old Desire),I reboot with the PD98IMG.zip in my card's root folder,it goes into bootloader and when it starts searching for the image it says:
Code:
SD Checking. . .
Loading. . . [PD98DIAG.zip]
And stays there like...forever!What da f*ck do I do?I hate it when phones act weird!

Double check that the file name matches exactly what the bootloader is asking for. Linux is case sensitive.

Download the PD98IMG.zip file again, or exports from RUU ROM utility.

Well,everyone is using the PD98IMG.zip jkoljo provides in his first post along with the downgrading instructions,and I used it too.I didn't modify the name in any way.
Now,although I think that when using my 16Gb card it searches for a PD98IMG.zip,as I stated above,when using my 4gb card it says it searches for a PD98DIAG.zip and then freezes(yes,the bootloader) and I have to pull the battery.
I am redownloading the file now,but I don't think that's what's wrong...

Same here. Maybe its something to do with UK Hd2's.
I followed all the instructions too, and kept getting stuck in the boot screen loop.
Back to Nand for me... one thing, on screen before screen to flash zip it says can't find misc, even when I make a misc folder it makes no difference. Good luck to you anyway.

Can you tell us what you're doing and what happens?

i Copy contents of copytosdroot folder to the root of my sd.then i boot into magldr and go into USB Flasher whilst still connected to my laptop,Run DAF,when thats done i again boot into magldr and tap Boot AD SD but it keep failing to go into Clockwork,i keep getting soming like k:Music/zimage not found or failed to load kernal even tho ive fully formated my sd,its really anoying,i cant try out any new roms exept nand,Really frustrating

I had problems running like this initially - what worked was putting the 'copytosd' files in a folder on the SD Card (I used 'ADSD'), then changing the Boot AD SD folder option in the Settings menu to that new folder ('ADSD').
Then try using 'Boot AD SD' option.
For some reason it did not like the root folder initially (though it now seems to work fine).

Use Panasonic SD Card formatter & re format the SD card & try again, I had the same issues but now its resolved..!!!

Guys,
Mine works as well so not a UK issue
Did you follow the instructions using DAF and indicated that it was successful but when you try to 1: boot from sd nothing happens or it flashes and returns to the MAGLDR screen?
I had an issue with the root folder as well, create a folder \recovery and copy the 2 root files intrid.gz and zimage to the \recovery and goto services and change the boot to folder to \recovery.
Important reboot before trying as MAGLDR does not change the folder until after a reboot.
Boot from SD and should be OK
Or at least was for me

Now Nand has came out it has inspired a lot to create their own Android builds and new chefs make mistakes. Not trying to blame chefs in general but some do make mistakes.
Also when we used to load up the builds from SD card, I would say 8 times out of 10 I would use a data.img which hasnt been used before. Now if you go from a Sense build to a non-Sense build, and you are using a data.img in app2sd, then they are not properly matched so a-b might go to a-c and miss b out if you know what I mean. What I do is use a data.img for Sense, another for Sense HD/Z, another one for Gingerbread and another for Miui and these are on my Desktop. When I load up a different builds like Sense to Miui, then I will move the data.img from .data or data2sd folder off the memory card and then overwrite the data.img I have on the Desktop for Sense and replace it for my Miui data.img.
I know it sounds tedious but I found it to help.
Also for the new App2SD+, I create the partition using ClockWorkMod instead of another application. I will use Partition Wizard for Windows to delete a partition and resize the fat32 partition back to the full use of the memory card but always partition and create EXT3 partition using ClockWorkMod.
Hope this helps.

i have a slightly different problem: I can boot into clockwork recovery after copying the copy-to-sd files and use it as a partitioning tool. But cant actually complete the installation as I keep getting errors when i run the DAF file from CWM folder in USB flasher option of MAGDLR, so cant actually use it for recovery !!!!

Help i cant remove hspl

Im sending my phone back to htc so I flashed back a standard rom. I thought this would remove hspl but it didnt now Im ****ting my pants. How do i get it off?

Did you flash stock rom via sd card? That is the only way that flashing a stock rom removes hspl. Otherwise the much simpler method is to rerun HSPL2 and select your original spl (ending in 0000) - assuming you can remember which spl you were on.

how do i flash the rom via sd?

Find nbh file of the rom you want, copy to root of sd card and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh, boot into bootloader and follow instructions. If it doesn't pick up the image, try reformatting sd card (preferably a small one ie 2gb) to FAT32 and retry.

Ive renamed the the file but bootloader does nothing, i only have a 16gb sd. I also put the whole rom on the card and selected it using file explorer and now the windows colour dots are just going around in a circle.

Did you copy just the .nbh file from the rom to your sd card and rename that and not the entire exe file? You also won't be able to flash via file explorer.
Seriously though if you can't flash via sd card (bigger sd cards don't alsways work - although my 16gb card does) just do the second and much easier option I gave you above, ie flash the rom via exe as you have done and then run HSPL2 and select your stock spl.

I cant do that cos now windows 7 wont install the bloody drivers lol. Im FUBAR'd

Be careful in your rom selection. This should ALWAYS be stressed when telling people how to do this. It's not simply a case of getting the one you want. You should always try to get the original rom your phone came with, or at a minimum one that the htc site recommends when you enter your country and phone serial. Flashing a bad rom via sd is pretty much the only way to brick your phone. This should not be forgotten or taken for granted.
That said, download the correct rom, rename to leoimg.nbh, stick it on the root of your sd card. Power off phone, insert sd card, hold volume down, press power.
(yeah I know clyde just typed the instructions, I just like them explained this way).

Have you double checked you card is Fat 32? I couldn't get a leoimg.nbh file recognised, until I found a similar post saying that it had to be Fat32. My card was in plain old fat...

Good point m8, I assumed that as he had already flashed the rom via exe that he had the right one. (I know that's a dangerous assumption given the level of some of the users on this site as some shouldn't be authorised to use anything more technical than a tv remote - no offence elgrego4 ). Noted and I will include that important statement in future advice given

I've just seen from your signatrure elgrego4 that your rom is listed as LEO70 (ie WP7). Did you reformat your sd card after using WP7?

Turn the phone off..Then turn it on while holding volume down. This will take you to the bootloader menu( rainbow color). Plug the phone unto your PC then flash the original ROM that you downloaded from HTC site.No need to sync..Hope this will help.

Hey man if you want to remove HSPL you can just run the HSPL program from your pc with your phone connected in bootloader. It's the same procedure as installing HSPL, but now you must select SPL 2.08.000 instead of HSPL 2.08 while running the program.
I did it this way while I had to send my phone back and had no problems with it =)
You can check your SPL version in Bootloader.

yes it was fat 32, ive borrowed a 2gig so i will try that next

Its flashing with the 2gb card so fingers and everything else crossed

Keep us posted pls. I'm thinking also to bring back because of pixel error on the screen.

Yes........

SPL-3.03.000 is on now. Thanks for the help guy Knowing my luck htc wont find a fault

Pleasure m8, good luck.
Was 3.03 your original spl? If so I guess you do know it's a mission to get back to flash hspl once you get your phone back. You will first have to downgrade your rom to get to a lower version spl and then run hspl.
