Earlier I tried to root my G1 by flashing the RC29 dreaimg.nbh file onto it. When I copied the file to the microSD card and flashed it onto the bootloader, I didn't realize that the file wasn't finished downloading in chrome when I copied it to the microSD card. So I flashed that file on there and that obviously failed. I realized that the file never finished downloading and I restarted the download to be sure I didn't copy a bad file onto the microSD card again. When that was done I re-formatted the card to FAT-32 and copied the dreaimg.nbh file onto it.
Now whenever I plug the microSD card back into the phone and try to flash the image, it briefly goes to a white screen and says "No image found", even though the file's in the root directory and the card's been freshly formatted. I've tried to remedy this by restoring the phone to factory settings using a hard reset, but that always brings me back to the bootloader screen. I've exhausted all options I can find with no luck and I'm becoming extremely frustrated with my phone. Can anyone help with this?

Here's the situation:
Siemens SX56. (AT&T) (wanting to use w/T-Mobile)
2 days ago, I updated the SX56 ROM with the 1.1 update from the Siemens website, via USB.
Successful. No problems.
Yesterday, I tried to load the great XDA 1.1 ROM.
Began the update via USB, ActiveSync,
then I 'lost connection' about a minute or 2 into the update.
I'm unable to re-establish connection.
Now, the SX56 is hung on "Upgrading..this may take 5 min...."
I have concluded that I must use an SD card now.
I have an SD card.
I have Wallaby Bootloader v5.15
I don't think it will do me any good to copy the CE+BOOT TO SD,
since it doesn't work.
My PC experience tells me to:
1. Format the SD card, and make it bootable.
2. Put the file XDArit.exe on the SD card.
2. Put the files from the XDA 1.1 ROM on the SD card.
3. Boot the SX-56 to the SD Card.
4. Launch XDArit.exe OR start.bat.
BUT, as I've discovered, this isn't a PC.
And also, it seems like the instructions on the Wallaby Bootloader
are geared for making a backup, and like an idiot, I did not make a backup before starting.
And when I have tried to run the XDArit from my PC, it finds the SD card,
and wants a NB1 file, (and I have to change file type to a NBF file, because I don't have a NB1 file)
but when I try to save it to the SD card, I get an error 'Failed to open device'. (but my XP machine sees, reads and writes to the SD card from explorer just fine.)
If anyone could help me shift my 'PC' thinking into the XDA way of thinking, I would be most thankful. What am I missing here?
Thank you very much!
u should read carefully other thread linked this prob,
u dont need to rename nbf to nb1, just using xdarit to write sd card, use nbf file in wince box and/or bootloader (think dont need to overwrite the bootloader), go to boatloader n choose restore SD
before doing that, batt must full
ok i'm using taboonay 2.0 with Thor's 3.0 kernel. I can see all the files on my SD card through root explorer and if i take the card out and hook it up to my pc. My question is why when i plug my iconia into my PC i can see the card, but can't see any files on it? Wasn't 3.2 supposed to fix this or it something on my end? haven't tried to reformat it cause it isn't a big issue to me just trying to figure out why.
i have sorta similar issue. I can access sdcard in root explorer or other apps, but if i pop it out it get interesting. I can still browse the sdcard contents in any file explorer even though i am holding it in my hand. Also i have not been able to access the sdcard from the latest clockwork recovery. The only directory there is LOST. So i take it to the pc and same thing, only the LOST directory, pop it back in the tablet, fire it up, browse to /sdcard directory, all the files i have downloaded are right there still along with that LOST directory......
So i cant flash anything now. Tried reflashing CWR from the Acer Recovery Installer, no progress. Tried formatting sdcard on pc using the tool in the sticky, same thing, cannot access sdcard in CWR.
Help.
**update: so here's what i found, apparently there is a directory called sdcard on my tab that is actually local system memory. It has all my downloaded files in it. I mounted the tablet with USB to my pc and moved one of the files to the sdcard(which is empty by the way, everything is going to the local ram for some reason) and rebooted into recovery and then it showed up in CWR!
So all this time my tablet has been syncing my google music beta music for offline use, around 10 gigs of it, and it dumped it all on the local memory so now im almost out of ram.....with an empty sdcard.....great
I believed you guys are having this same problem...please see this thread about directory naming structure...etc

I used Unrevoked to root and reflash my FROYO and it was fine for about a year. Then the USB port started giving me problems and it became impossible to charge my phone. Sprint gave me a new Evo 4g with Gingerbread. I was able to use Revolutionary to get S-off but have had no success getting the superuser zip on my SD Card. I tried extracting it to my f: drive (not in any of folders) but when I boot to recovery and try to update from my sd card nothing happens. No Superuser!!
The only files or directories I can see on the sd card are these (Over the past few days I've seen other files on the SD card after doing factory resets/erase sd card but still couldn't find Superuser):
-Android >>>data
-Lost.Dir
-META-INF >>>com
-media >>>audio
-rosie_scroll
-rssreader >>>predawn
-system >>>app
>>>bin
Should superuser be in these files?
I suspect that the sd card might be the problem because this is the same card I had on my previous FROYO phone which I rooted. Is it possible that the
Here, go to this link on your phone.
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Download that zip with the default browser application or opera. Then, make sure that the zip is in the default download folder named "download". Boot into recovery and flash the zip file located under the "download" folder. There is no need to extract the zip file at all.
OK, I was attempting to root my Simple touch and apparently I pulled the SD card too early.
Now all I have is the Nook by Barnes and Noble screen flashing every 3 seconds and not going any farther.
I can hold the power button down for 30 seconds and get the Read Forever screen that says Your Nook is now starting up, then it goes back to flashing.
Has anyone run into this problem?? Is there a fix? I'd still like to root this touch.
I was able to root my kindle fire with a little finesse in the instructions and I love the abilities it now has.
I know the touch won't have that kind of capabilities but, I'd like it to have more than it came with.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try this:
Touch-Formatter v2
or
n2T-Recovery + Force reset and upgrade to 1.1.
Then re-root with TouchNooter or any flavour of MinimalTouch
EdEd333,
Thanks for the qiuick reply.
I'm using the CRM program, I think I have everything in the right place. The NST has booted with the logo, I'm able to move through the menus, get to the part to Choose zip from SD card and it's telling me E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip.
I don't know if it's reading the SD card in the NST as the E drive but, when I pull the card out and check it on my laptop, I don't see any files named update.zip.
Did I miss a file somewhere?
the Alpha-formattouch-2.zip file is on the card as well. I've looked at it on my computer and I don't see an update.zip there either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

You need to select "Choose zip from SD" or something to that effect.
Googie2149 is right.
I just updated the instructions on the thread.
This are the new steps for the v2 zip:
Copy the zip onto the root directory of the sdcard you burned the CWM.(Don't extract them)
Insert the sdcard on your nook, and boot it.
On CWM select install zip from sdcard
Then select choose zip from sdcard
Select Alpha-FormatTouch-2.zip, click yes and wait till the process finishes.
Go back, eject the sd card, and click reboot.
Hi, I'm new in all this stuff and as the title says I have a bootloop on my Blu Studio 5.0 II. So this is what happened, I rooted my phoe with the KingRoot app, everything went great, I did this because I wanted to use my SD card as Internal storage so I can download more apps (Blu Studio 5.0 II only has around 1 GB of Internal memory), I tried using extarnal to internal but this result in my phone not even recognizing my sd card, so I tried a different way, editing vold.fstab at /storage/etc, but this didn't work either, at settings>storage my phone shows 3 different storages: Internal, SD Card and Phone Storage (sorry if I translate something wrong my phone is in spanish I hope you know what I'm talking about), so afert I reboot my phone I had 1gb 1gb and 14gb, my sd card was at the last of this 3 storage instead of the first one, searching on internet I found "a solution" and this is when everything went wrong:
I copied the vold.fstab file to my pc, copy and paste the code, saved it, copied to my sd card ad paste it on /system/etc, with ES File Explorer and rebooted, this is when the bootloop started
I have a copy of the original vold.fstap and I did backup before this happen, so I tried to push the file with ADB Minimal and Fastboot as I saw on a video but I have erros like read-only file system, and if I try using adb shell > su It says [-] Connection to ui timed out, also adb root cannot run in production builds.
so I got tired of that and dowload a ROM that it's supposed to be the same as my model D532u and tried to use SP Flashtool but stuck on 0% I don't know I read that is a drivers problem but I had no problem with adb or fastboot
so I tried to fastboot flash system but I'm also stuck, it says "erasing 'system' ..." and nothing happens, it worked flashing recovery and boot.
can someone help me?
