Probs flashing any rom via ntrw with my NEW mdacompact

:evil:
Hi everyone,
am deperately needing your advice!!!
Just yesterday I rechieved an exchange mdac from tmobile showing serial version v1.02 when put in bootloader mode(previously v1.01).
When trying to flash whatever rom once transferred via ntrw to my sd card, my mdac does simply nothing but stay in bootloader showing serial v1.02. No flashing like in my old one starts.
On removing the sd card it comes out freshly formatted, before it definately was formatted with raw as usual once working with ntrw.
Result : I can not upgrade my system to mksbigstorage or any other rom like i could with my" old one". (same sd card!!!)
Tried downgrading to an older rom version via original upgrade routine and from there flashing via sd card: same problem!, tried other sd card: no solution either!
Any ideas, solutions, people with the same problems?
:?:
Appreciate your help
Thanx

romflashing
Seems to have nothing to do with flashing routine.
Card simply gets formatted once inserted.
Any way to stop this?

Hi! I have had many problems after flashing and re-flashing my rom.
Try boot loader mode and USB then execute (from your PC)MaupgradeUT_noid with a Shipped_rom on XDA ftp. It may work.
Have a look at this link: http://www.mtekk.com.au/forums/viewtopic.php?p=32876

Try to write SD card with winhex not ntrw. Simply choose open disc feature and write file directly do SD it works every time for me (with ntrw it was roulette). I have 1.02 bootloader

Thanks Shamus but can you explain in details how do you do this with Winhex? my bootloader is 1.00
SPV_M500, ROM 1.12.02 FRE
RADIO 1.12.10
EXTRom no more

Card Key Invalid. Press Action key to exit.

Okay, here goes.
I own an XDA PW10A1 with the following details:
ROM version: 3.20.06 ENG
ROM date: 07/03/03
Radio version: 4.21.01
Protocol version: 32S54
Bootloader: v6.22
A couple of years ago I flashed a ROM to my other XDA which I later had to send in for repair (the screen broke), and when I got it back, it was a completely different device, but with the same ROM version etc. that I've specified above.
After a year or two with the stock standard ROM on my replaced XDA I'd like to put a different ROM onto it, but I remember how difficult it was back then. I actually flashed it with a T-Mobile ROM, which I discovered wasn't the best move to make in flashing ROMs. Anyway, I have now a formatted 256Mb Kingston SD card which I know is working, and when I go into the Flash Tools on my XDA I see the following options:
+ CE ROM to SD
+ Boot to SD
+ CE + Boot to SD
+ GSM ROM to SD
When I select any of the above options, I receive the following error message "Card Key Invalid. Press Action key to exit."
Via XDATools, I've performed what appears to be a successul backup to the SD card (which took around 40 minutes) using the following settings:
+ Source: Device memory (current ROM)
+ Destination: XDA SD Card Slot - unknown size
I want to ensure that I can copy a new ROM image onto my SD card, and then perform the ROM upgrade using the XDA Flash Tools. Does anyone know if I'm able to do this if I'm receiving the "Card Key Invalid" error message, or am I just being over-cautious?
Thanks,

not sure what the error mean never seen it before
but when you enter the bootloader with a valid rom on the SD
you dont have to pick anything or click or choose it just start
updating

Yes, I'm pretty sure that I can put the valid ROM on the SD card and then update from there, it's just that I wanted to backup my current ROM before putting the updated ROM onto my XDA - I don't want to end up in the same situation that I did a couple of years ago!
The problem is, I'm trying to cook a ROM on Lumpi's kitchen with the "Installer EXE" unchecked, and it fails everytime (ROM creation error). Having the tick-box enabled allows the ROM to be built, but I want a non-EXE ROM for the SD card method - is that right?
Thanks,

change the exe to zip and copy the nbf files out

I tried that but did not work.
I have the official version and recorded the PSAs
I think you have to install the rom by SD
How do I install the rom by Sd card, anyone know how to enter bootloader mode?

I have put the ROM on my PT HD mini.
I had to extract the rom and rename the file RUU_signed.nbh to PHOTIMG.nbh and copy to the micro sd then enter bootloader mode
To enter bootloader mode:
Pressing the volume - and the power button to same time and then follow the instructions of the screen
Before you have created de gold pass.

Tried both methods
When trying to flash from SD "PHOTIMG.nbh" with goldcard all i get is:
"0028002 Not allow"
I have Goldcard generated with PSAS 1.10 (registered).
When trying to update thru the flasher it hangs on 1% complainig on reseller ID.
Anyone have a solution to this?
thx...

Format SD card to FAT32 and try again generate de goldcard and copy de PHOTIMG.nbh do sd card
And try again flash from sd card

No luck...
I tried the following steps:
Format the SD to FAT32 while having it in a cardreader, under windows 7
Generate Goldcard Image from PSAS 1.10 (while card was in the phone) to SD
Copy the .nbh file to SD
Start phone with Volume down + power.
I still get the 00028002 Not allow
I also tried to manually copy the code from the image to SD by HxD, still the same problem.

You have this pass???

I tried to make the registry changes but didnt make any difference
I also tried to generate the card in another HTC but still the same.

HD2 update failed (noob)

Hello guy's
I recently bought a second hand HD2 by internet (NLD)
I was so happy .... but when i switching the hd2 on I got to see UPDATE FAILED!!!.
(see pictures)
and this is the bootloader
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/802/dscn5268mobile.jpg/
i've tried to connect de hd2 to my comp. but it does not regonize it
I looked around on the net and here on the forum but I do not get it
can you pleassse help me with the correct links !!!

try this:
plug into pc - install drivers
(instead of serial, there need to be "USB")
then do a task29 (delete nand)
then try to flash your fav. winmo rom again!
(if you dont want winmo, you need to flash another hspl version for android)
come in this chat: http://www.chatzy.com/577626290448

oke, but there is no way....that i can connect my HD2 by usb
so far only by sdcard
I tried to delete HSPL en go Back to SPL ...with stock rom (htc-website)
(sdcard trick) still failed....
i think i am doing something wrong
can somebody help me...with the right files

Most often the reason the SD card method fails is because a 8GB or greater SD Card is used.
A 1 or 2GB SD Card would be a bettter option.

You need to have HSPL to flash custom ROMs.
Have a good read * HERE *. These are the instructions I followed when I first got my HD2.
It is a bit of a read, but it is very well worth it.

First off did you use your serial number to download the Windows Mobile ROM from the HTC site?
Second, yes a 2 gig or smaller SD card works best but have you tried doing a complete formatting the SD card using Fat 32, also did you rename the file LEOIMG.nbh and place it on the root of your SD card? It has to be named LEOIMG.nbh cause the bootloader will not recognize any other file name, and it has to be on the root of your SD card or it will not detect it.
Third, do you see Serial or USB in the white bar of bootloader when you try to flash via RUU? If it says Serial you do not have the HTC USB Sync connection between your computer and HD2. If it says USB you should have the HTC USB Sync connection.
Fourth like member fred_up said you have to have HSPL to flash any custom Windows Mobile ROM, and you have to have HSPL 2.08 to flash MAGLDR and a 2.07.50.xx or higher radio too, and you have to have HSPL to flash cLK also.
Fifth your battery has to be 50% or more to be able to flash via RUU or it will not let it. But if you do not have a working Windows Mobile ROM, MAGLDR Android or WP7 ROM, or a working cLK ROM, you can not charge your HD2 cause it does not charge in bootloader. Although if you can get cLK to flash you might be able to let it charge while it is off, not 100% positive about that though.
Last have you downloaded and tried out the HD2 NAND Toolkit? if you have not I suggest you do as it might make things a lot simpler for you. Also take a look at my guide linked in my sig as it might help you understand your HD2 a little better.

Phone hang on three color screen...

Hello,
this morning I had a bad surprise. My HTC mini doesn't work anymore and now when I turn on, it get stucked on three color screen.
I use the HTC Sense 3.5 rom and, until today, all works great.
I try to hard reset the phone, to reinstall the original rom, but without any changes.
I would like to try some commands from adb or fastboot, but my phone cannot be recognized from this tools. I have try to change the USB driver, I installed the google driver, but without success. Only the htc ufficial rom is installed correctly but when I restart the phone, I have always the three color screen.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks, Alex

what is your os on your computer ?
if windows 7 64 bit install usb eugeniausb drivers and use mtty (you have to select the usb port there) console. phone has to be in tri color mode.
send "task 2a" to the phon, it should format nand and restore radio.
had this problem too, that was the solution

My OS is Windows 7 x64.
I have tried your drivers and now I can send commands with mtty.
I send the command that you told me and in the screenshot that I have attached you can find the results. Are errors normal??
My phone is always in three colors screen.
I must send other commands?
Thanks for the help.

yes, bad blocks are normal.
when you have finished restart the phone and flash official ROM for your device !

Thanks for your patience.
I have flashed the original rom, the whole process works fine, but when the phone is restarted (after completed the installation) the three color screen returns....

hmm, you could try task 28, task 29, then task 2a...
dont remember, i think i have used all of them

No success....:crying:
The three color screen is always there...

what does it show ? (best would be a picture of the screen)

In attachment a picture of the boot screen.
As I say in the first post I didn't do nothing for brick the phone. I only turn off the phone yesterday, and this morning I only turn on it.
Are there some commands that I can use in mtty to understand why the phone is bricked?
Thanks again.

hmm.. everything looks as it should..
i am out of ideas.. what about trying to flash a newer firmware ? (1.07.xxx is pretty old)

I have tried with a new version, 1.36 if i remember well (I don't have the phone here now), but the result is the same.
Anyway thanks for your support. I'll send it to the techinical support or I'll buy a new device.

I can see your phone hang on spl 1.07 so mean your ruu not installed 1.33! I domnt think that your phone is bricked but I think you have not installed rom (fully) by RUU (mean all parts from ruu). I never success trought ruu (only if my s.n. match ruu! So you need to have gold card in order to install rom (nbh)! Your hboot is all time 1.07 so that mean you done installed only rom parts instead of whole RUU... so definitely you need gold card and you need to reinstall rom by sd card! Of course, always "task 29 than task 2a" before everything

How can I create the gold card?
Is there a tool that can I use?
Thanks!
EDIT:
Now I've a GoldCard, but what file I must copy in the card and what name must have?
I have done several attempts, but I receive always the message "no image file"

You can not create gold card now without working windows phone, so you need to read cid from an working wince in order to generate gold card

I have created a Gold Card with another device and I follow one of the guide on Internet. I think to have done all correctly, and if I restard the bricked phone holding volume down I see for a very small time the message "no image file".

Ok, I understand, and so I have a wrong gold card.
I have another WinCE Device and so I could build a correct gold card.
Can you provide me more information? How can I create a gold card for WinCE?
After creating the gold card, what can I copy in the SD? The .nbh of the official rom?
Thanks!

You need revskills software for generating gold card for wince but free version only can read sd card cid, but if you no want to buy it I can generate one for you, just send me cid and I will generate! Chose photon in menu! Do not reverse cid! Search for right cid (you can see many cids but only one is right so see right disk size that match size of the your sd card and copy that cid!!!), than send me a cid by pm and I will send you back file!
About nbh, yes! You need to extract nbh file from ruu and rename it to PHOTIMG.nbh and copy it to sd card... reboot phone to spl and installation will update your photon (but only if gold card is right)!

Ok, Thanks for the info and for your help!
When I'll come to home, I'll send my CID to you!

I finally restore my phone!!!!!
The goldcard installation works fine!
I post a small resume for others people in case the problem come out to someone else.
After the first try with MTTY I try to follow the "Goldcard way". I try to use an old SD Card of 2GB.
First of all I use the guide for Android, but the gold card doesn't works. After I use the Windows CE way with the help of munjeni, but the result was the same.
In both cases the installation fail with the message "no image file".
Finally I change the SD Card and I use a new one (4 Gb size). I follow the Android guide and in theory I have generated a goldcard for Android.
I copy the PHOTIMG.nbh file in the SD Card and the installation works!
Thanks to schlund and munjeni for the help and for the patience!
