Please help! HardSPL problems..

alright so I'm new to this, but I followed the instructions to hardspl, and got up to the point where i had 4.70yang as my spl, and was going to flash through SD. it wouldnt read the SD card, and i tried formatting it in FAT32, with the allocation unit size to 4096, and when that didnt work, i tried other variations. Then I figured I'd try flashing the other way, but couldnt do it because i couldnt get a sync with the computer. I didnt know whether to go into the actual canonyang ROM, but anyway I did, and if I connect the USB cable, nothing happens, no activesync. i tried the bootloader screen, no USB connection. every other alternative i saw, removing the hardspl, flashing otherways, etc etc i cant do without a USB connection. im not sure if i did anything wrong, im convinced i didnt. im hoping the solution is really simple, cause i cant get activesync to work.. im really frustrated, lol. if anyone could offer solutions, that would be amazing.

Please keep all non-development posts off the development forum.
As far as your problem goes:
Activesync won't connect per say in SPL mode but it should still let you flash. In SPL mode, there is no syncing so the icon never turns green but it still works just fine. As far as working with the SD card, the SD card cannot be a SDHC card. The SPL doesn't have a SDHC driver.
Try a smaller SD card (2GB's or less since they are usually non-SDHC) or flash through SPL even though activesync doesn't show as connected.

sorry about posting it in the wrong place. where should i have posted? and thank you for replying
and what IS the SPL mode? what screen should i be seeing? cause if i let it load then it just goes to the regular phone screen as if im on an actual OS, and sync doesnt work there. and yes im using a 2gb SD card, not SDHC.

Ok, make sure you followed these SD Flashing instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581996
It should work. And also, please read up on the terms, and that will help you understand everything.
And what Ivan was referring to, about flashing without ActiveSync connected....put your phone into the bootloader, connect USB, wait one minute, and then attempt to flash. Tell me if you did EVERYTHING in the first paragraph's link first, though.

OK. I see what the problem is. You're in the OS but the OS is the stripped OS.
Hold down your camera button and then press the soft reset button. Then you'll be in SPL mode. From there you can flash anything you want.

hey thanks for the help ive flashed a ROM or two using flash center so thats working fine i got past that. but im still trying to flash through SD. it wont read my card still after formatting it to FAT32 and putting the HERAIMG.nbh file. i read on another post that the nbh version number could be a factor? how would i go about messing around with that?

As I mentioned: Is your SD card a SDHC card? If it is, it won't work. The NBH version is set by the cook and if it works with the flash center then it works with the SD card. Any ROM created for flashing through SD card is made with the correct numbers.

Hey Ivan
I'm new here and i've flashed several ROMS via RUU, so far the Glass one is my favorite.. Since y'all are on the topics of SD or SDHC cards, quick question...
I have a 2 gb SD card and i've been unsuccessful in flashing via SD. Formatted in fat32, named it HERAIMG.nhb and put it in the root, already been hardspled. Here's the question, in XP it shows as "Secure Digital Storage Device" I was wondering maybe the bootloader couldn't read the SD because it's the "secure" type not the regular one? Tried the quick format and full format to no success.
any input would be helpful

Secure Digital is what SD stands for. No matter what brand you use, that is what they are all called. There is no regular or secure SD card.

Storage card flashing problem.. "No image file!"

Hello everybody,
2 days ago i flashed the dutty r5 NOR by accident, should have been NLD.
I cannot understand NOR whatsoever so i tried to re-flash my phone with the NLD version, but when i go into bootloader mode it cant find the image file. Im sitting at 90% battery charge.
What i do:
1) USB connection between phone and pc.
2) Copy + Paste the TOPAIMG.NHB in my storage card.
3) Disconnect USB between phone and pc.
4) Power off the phone (by holding the power button and press yes)
5) Press and hold volume down button and the power button
6) I see a rainbowscreen with the specs i persume from my phone
7) for 0,5 sec, i see the following:
Loading...
No image file!
8) Rainbowscreen again, and on the bottem 'serial' in the white color.
What did i do wrong? It should work..
Its very annoying to have a phone in a language you dont understand
Thanks in advance
J-r0en
Edit:
Currently i cant flash through my pc with active synch connection because my laptop is back to the factory for repair.
Cant find the Cd that came with the phone to install windows mobile device center, which is for vista+ , and this pc is xp professional. :\

2) Copy + Paste the TOPAIMG.NBH in my storage card.
Further try formatting your SD-card with FAT32. That in combination with renaming your file to the right extension, should work.

Thanks for the response.
I made a typo in the openingspost.
The image file on the storagecard is TOPAIMG.NBH.
I flashed the current ROM via the storagecard so it should
be fat32. I'll try to reformat the storagecard and see what happens.
*thumbs up*

It didnt work, any other ideas ?
my original rom was in another language, maybe that aint allowed? to flash a new rom in a different language.

True, unless you have HSPL this won't work.

Yes i am aware of that. I already have HSPL installed on my phone, as i've done phone flashing on via my storage card before.
I re-installed HSPL, just to try , but it still doesnt work

Nope, no typo's, "TOPAIMG.NBH" just like that =p

Have you tried TOPAIMG.nbh (lower case .nbh)?

I had the same issue flashing the original 6.5 OEM flash and Dutty's.
I have a 16GB card. I think that may be the issue. Perhaps 8GB or less will be recognised.
Anyway. All I did was use the wrapper method.
I booted to HardSPL and then connected it to the PC, ran the wrapper file included with the firmware and went through the modified firmware wizard on the PC and all sorted

In case anyone else comes across this thread while having this problem...
I had the same problem with my Rhodium. The problem disappeared when I switched from formatting that particular SD card with FAT to FAT32.
So, try FAT32 and see if that helps!

Finally!!!! took me forever to fix this. So my problem was the same, after flashing a custom ROM thru RUU, I got stuck in the splashing screen and kept getting "No image file" in HardSPL. So my solution was "SWITCH my FAT32 8GB microSD with a FAT32 4GB microSD". That's all! hope this will help someone else too.
Happy New Year!!!

Well i didnt fix it, still didnt flashed the rom that i wanted (in dutch) but i went back to WWE, that díd work.. eventually

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

aby help PLEASE

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

New Tmo HD2 Micro SDHC problem

Ok, after having an Xperia X1 I gave in finally to the HD2. Man is it fast. I've already HSPL, Task 29, and flashed it with Energy ROM. My problem is everything works as it should including the storage card, but after I start playing around with it and it resets it stops recognizing the storage card. If I perform a hard reset, it recognizes it. If I go to boot loader it recognizes it. But after a couple soft resets stops recognizing it. What problems should I look in to in trying to resolve this?
Thanks.

Try removing it, booting the HD2, then switching it off and pop the card back in, does it still not see it?
Is the card the one that came with your phone?

If it is a stock SD card, then get it replaced, they suck. I had to get a new one before I walked out of the store .......

And no, it's not the stock card. It's a Sandisk 16 GB. I heard the stock cards weren't any good. But even with playing with both cards it still doesn't recognize it. This is very frustrating.
Could there be a possiblility of it being a ROM problem? I'll be honest and admit that I didn't even test it when it was stock. I just charged it and did the procedures to flash it and revert to the ROM that I'm use to on my Xperia. Or could it be a faulty phone?

It might be a faulty phone, but you should try different ROMs, see where that brings you.
EDIT: Lots of ppl have trouble with 16GB cards, but if you say that you have the same issues with the stock one, then...

My Xperia recognizes both cards, but the HD2 doesn't anymore. I even reformatted the both cards to FAT32 and both were recognized. So I copied some programs over and installed them...soft reset, and now it's not recognized again. I'm getting frustrated. I found that another member has stated that his class 2 didn't work, but class 4 did. But I thought Classes don't affect whether it's recognized or not, but the read/write speed?

dude try this, I've been doing this a couple of times and it works for my T8585. You insert it into a card reader then plug it to your computer. Most often a message appears on your computer screen telling you to fix your card (I use windows 7) but just ignore it. Then copy all the files in your card to your computer, plug it out and insert it into your phone. You can try and tell me whether it works for you.

SDHC problem
Hi, i have similar problem. When I insert SDHC (4Gb class4),Device dont recognize, but when i plug into USB and press Disk drive,RECOGNIZE. I have HD2 T-Mobile, Energy ROM/Stock ROM...
Can somebody HELP ME ?

SD card doesn't work properly - Hardware or Software ?

Okay .. My HD2 has quite a problem..
No ROM (have tested different WM6.5 stock roms and a DFT-Andoird version) can detect my SD-Card in the slot, except from Magldr.
In magldr I am able to use the sd-card as massstorage and connect to my Computer running on Windows 7 ( didn't try another).
But if I navigate in magldr menu to services =>bootsettings => ad sd dir i will just be brought back to the home menu...
Is it a hardware damage or something software? What do you think...?
It's an ugly problem, because to sd card means no CWM- Android
Pleease HELP !
Thank you

ahh and in card reader or other smartphones the sd cards don't make any problems ;-)

nobody has got an idea?

or is it possible that i damaged the flex ribbon cable, while replacing my broken screen?

:cyclops:If it is the flex ribbon, this would explain why my mainboard cannot access the sd slot.
And the via USB I can connect to the SD-card in the Phone from Computer (when runs phone in maldr-massstorage mode)
Or does all the data run from SD-Slot , through the mainboard to the USB-exit ?
No hardware-freak here ? Just softies?

ohh damn ...sd slot is located on the mainboard ... -.-

Which SD card do you have? Some are incompatible with that particular part of MAGLDR (don't ask why, all I know is that my Kingston 16GB Class 4 does exactly the same thing) but will still work in USB Mass Storage, CWM, A2SD etc. SD Android when booting via WinMo (CLRCAD and HARET) works fine as well.

ahh no I got the mistake after searching like a maniac...
Look at the photo i attached in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766321&page=2
You see this contact, where the arrow points at? It was out of shape..
The ex-owner of my HD2 seems to have done strange things with his device..... It was bend to the upper edge of the main board -.-
Luckily got it before I gave up hope
