wing usb broken, sd flash?

Hi guys,
My USB port will charge, but it doesn't seem to want to connect to a computer regardless of the cable or the OS/machine. The device manager won't even flinch. Not a huge deal, I sync to exchange over the air and I can bluetooth if necessary... but, I really want to upgrade my rom to the new tmobile 4.26 that came out recently. Has anyone had luck with the SD card flash? I formatted the card fat32 and put on the file as HERAIMG.nbh, but no luck, the bootloader just sits there whether I have the card in, or put it in in that screen. I see a quick "searching for SD card" before the bootloader goes, but nothing ever takes. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ray

I had to rename the img to "heraimg.nbh" lower case for some reason. I am using a 1gb card formatted Fat32.

Also, your phone has to be HardSPL'ed. It SHOULD be all upper case, nailtoe's phone would be the exception. How big is your SD card?

It's 1GB. Am I out of luck without USB, or is there a non-usb hardspl technique? Now that I just asked that I'm going to search the forum to look, but ... meh. I think I'm gonna have to call t-mobile and get a replacement.

I need HardSPL even though I'm trying to go to a t-mobile rom?

if you're trying to flash back to the stock tmobile rom and you've extraced the .nbh from the RUU, you shouldnt need HardSPL to flash if you're not already HardSPL'd

I had no idea I was the exception. Not trying to counter your statement I know you are experienced enough to know what you are saying. But I tried and tried for days with capped and it refused to boot it. Ever since then I go lower case haven't tried it with caps since. Might have to try it proper next time I flash. Interesting how sometimes things do what they do though.

hmm, odd, not sure but perhaps an SD card issue?
those seem to be the root course for most issues perhaps this is another one! get a different SD card and give that aa shot, dont spend money you dont have because there is a chance that card might not work either! so if you have one kicking about give that a shot...just a thought, it might not be it but its worth a shot.

thanks but I think SD isn't a problem. It worked well for almost a month.

Not saying you are wrong, bit maybe you should consider the fact that it could be your SD card. WP7Cdoes this weird format called RAID to hour SD cardcthe first time you boot it up. This allows WP7 to use the SD card as the internal memory for the phone. This is the same of a native WP7 device, yes they use SD cards for internal memory all of the current ones do. Anyway this format is bad enough on a SD card, but you add the fact that it is constantly being read from and wrote to. This can kill a already overly used SD card, or a cheap sub are SD card.

His right, don't rule it out until you can rule it out! SD issues are huge and can attack at any moment, my own experience is that if I delete some music, approx 200mb it allows windows to use a certain portion of the card for system usage, it will crash and restart, didn't get this for months until I filled up the card to the point windows wanted to access that space, filling it past that space corrected the problem oh an my computer can't detect any issues with the card so its nit a case of being faulty, its a case of not meeting the spec needed for wp7 on that portion of my card

But problem is that it heppened after I installed WP7 even if I changed it for Android.
I'm sorry I forgot to mention that the last time it heppened I was usnig android NAND.

quite a significant oversight not mentioning Android does it as well!
lol
ok, well i suggest you flash back to a official standard WM6.5 ROM, that will erase the HSPL/SPL and MAGLDR, if its still happening then its going to be a hardware issue with your phone.

Only flashing a official Windows Mobile ROM by SD will revert HSPL back to SPL. If you flash via RUU you will have to use HSPL 4 to revert back to SPL.

yes his right, but if you didnt know that then i suggest you search and read up on it, there can be a few wee problems flashing via SD, mostly around the SD card not working, so read up, do it, and see if it makes a difference!

My SD Card Shrank from WP7 Flashing - How???

1) I've read other's who have had a similar problem. Search the forums. I believe it has something with residuals from previous ROMs. Try task29 before flashing.
2) Seriously asking this???? You use Zune to put content on to your phone! WP7 works through Zune. Have you not read any of the "how-to install WP7" write-ups and the requirements for syncing with your PC?
It isn't any different from what you did with WM6.5, just a different interface.

Ignore him, i dont know why his ranting on about zune and WM6.5
But he is right in that this is covered on here already
Try searching for "200MB" on the search this forum tool, heres a couple to get you started.

I didn't look at the links, but it basically has to do with how WP7 formats your SD card. It can be reformatted in a way that reflects the size of the card. I can provide you with more help if you'd like.

hey drewden.. thanks for the info. below is what a poster said on one of the links. I'm going to try it so i can get my sd card back to 16 GB again:
Enter MAGLDR, go to USB, connect it to the computer, run SD Formatter,Select correct drive, Options - Format Type= Full Erase On -Format Size Adjustment =ON.
This has been covered many times since the introduction of WP7.

Kool, if all else fails download an HP utility tool that reformats and set the bit flags back to default so the true size is reflectec. Search for HP format utility on google.

hi, dazza.. i took your advice and i got my sd card reformatted to 16GB. but, now my hd2 with wp7 gives me an error that says :
storage card not working.
your storge card has changes, is damaged, or is non-compliant.
to fix this, turn off your phone and either remove the storage card or replace it with a new compliant card. then youll need to reset your phone to the original factory settings."
so what how can i fix this?

ah yes, sorry bit of an assumption made there! you will need to hard reset and install again, or reflash, its up to you, on the positive side, with only 200mb storage you'll not have lost much. your activation code if you have one should still work

you need to reflash the rom as wp7 foramts and partitions the card during setup, if you change the sd card then wp7 loses its settings and you need to reinstall

The Hd7 will become king of the hill once they crack it wide open, theres little difference between the two of them but the HD7 with its more vibrant screen does look a bit better. I still long for the day someone can get WM booting of an SD card, via magldr that is. however in saying all of that, dispite the HD2s drawbacks i still think it has the edge at the moment, purely because there is little that wont work with it, but least you gave it a shot. Good luck with the HD7

i guess thats one of the issues that has to be dealt with then using an os not designated for the device, there will always be quirks and issues

well if you would have read what your doing when installing windows phone 7 you would have known that this happens.
windows phone 7 doesn't support sd cards, thats why the card is formatted when installing it and you have only 200mb left. the rest of the card is in wp7s discformat and you can use it as your internal storage.
so when you farmatted your sd card to get back your 16gb as fat partition you deleted system files of wp7 that were on the card. that's why this error occured.
if you would read the instructions in the rom threads and the stickies you would have known all this. everything is clear and easy when you inform yourself before starting with something and there are a lot of threads explaining everything in detail.

[Q] got an issue

1. check if is formated fat32 - try another sd card.
2. restore - flash stock windows rom ( in my signature you could find guides ) - is best way to make sure if everything works well.
3. install android from the beginning ... i hope everything gets ok

The only problem is my comp won't recognize my phone when I plug it in so really there's no way for me to check

Install Windows mobile device center (Or active sync if on xp), you need this for the drivers.
Use Panasonic SDFormatter (FULL>Overwrite with size adjust).
Once done that download the HD2 Nand toolkit from NAND forum and then follow instructions in the guides or in a roms thread.

ok so i reformatted the sd card and it works!! thank you now my second question is do i put the rom on my sd card cause my comp still wont detect my phone

oh and i cant get my 3g to work is that because of the flash that was done or is that something else

ok im way confused im not quite understanding this i downloaded the tool kit but im not sure what to do from there this is all sandscrit to me lol im a mega noob im not understanding why my 3g isnt working???

Is this SD-Card compatible

Hi
I jusr got my HD2 today, and just to see if I could get it to run something else than WM6.5, I installed WP7.8 and it worked great. But only thing was that my NOKIA 128MB SD-Card wouldn't be recognized by WP7.8 as it said that it has been damaged or replaced and I should reset the phone. After removing that SD-card and performing first-boot-configuration I put it back in, but still not recognized. It was recognized in the original WM6.5. Anyway, this isn't really an issue, as I'm going to get a new SD-card soon, so that I can run Android 4.x.x on it.
I have found this MicroSDHC-card: http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-SDC4...F8&qid=1358958006&sr=8-1&keywords=sdc4+16gbsp
I know that it isn't the fastest card, but it will work for me. Is the card compatible with the ICS and JB NAND-ROMS that are available?

Yes, it will work. You may wish to consider Sandisk as well - Kingston did not perform all that well in comparison (see sd link in my signature for more info).

Put that card on computer and format it to ntfs and after that do a fat 32 format.
I had a 16gb card that failed working on phone and when tried formatting it on pc it wouldn't do it; then I thought lets try ntfs and it fixed it.
Give it a try.
