elf rom update and not working

hi
i had rom 6.1 and flashed ahen series rom 6.5 (AHEN 6.5-E6h FULL )
everything was fine and after finishing the flash i got a error message device start up failed due to sudden loss of power "yes" to continue. i gave yes but it is not loading it again says storage memory is low delete some files or move to storage card other programs may not start but could not delete or move .
most of the program are not loaded. it shows storage memory is 16.22 and in use 16.22 phone is not working inculding active sync.
can some one help me ? to sync my phone to pc .

First try hard reset. I think you have to flash again the rom. Since active sync is not working you'll have to flash from memory card
Flash from the SD card:
1. turn down the phone
2. take your sd and sim card out of the elf
3. copy a rom file (the .nhb file) to the root of the SD card and name it "ELF0IMG.nbh" exactly.
4. now insert the sd card back in the phone.
5. while holding the camera button, insert the mini usb cable, wait for a while a white screen will ask you if you want to flash the new image..

hi
thanx for the quick reply
when i press the camera button it says "error opening the shortcut or locating the target file name" and then when i connect the mini usb it is asking connection type 1. active sync 2. disk drive 3. internet sharing.
i did not choose anything but active sync is selected by default and i was holding the camera button for few minutes but nothing happened .
help me to sort out this

Why do you press camera ? Did you try hard reset?

HI
i tried hard reset but having the same problem.
u said to hold camera button and insert mini usb cable .

I didn't tell you, you prob read it somewhere...
Hold down send/reject buttons (green/red at the front) and reset with the stylus; release the stylus but keep holding the buttons till you get 'this will erase all your personal data' message, then press 'action' (big front button) to hard reset.

hi
thanks again
i tried hard reset but having the same problem.
can you please tell me how to flash from sd card

ELF0IMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem
1 .Empty (erase the contents of) your microSD card using the Windows Mobile file explorer or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).
2. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
3. Rename the .NBH file to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
4. With microSD card inserted in the phone, start the bootloader (The bootloader is invoked by hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus).
5.Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume slider down).
6. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.

hi
thanks very much
i flashed as you said
now my htc is working
thank you for your step by step guidence.

Getting Gold Card?

Followed instructions, ended up with EncFiltLog.menc (2KB) . Is that correct?
Havent gone any further as Im not ready to change ROM yet.

Anyone?? .....

valid till 24th December.... first senrence.

Yes, I got the goldcard.img , followed all the steps uo to:
5:Rewrite your SD card with the Goldcard
--a: Get yourself a HexEditer. Install and run it. (Win 7 & Vista users - run this as Administrator)
--b:Unplug and replug your HTC LEO select DISK DRIVE on the LEO
--c:Go to Extra Tab > Open Disk. Under Physical disk, select Removable Disk (Must be your SD card), uncheck “Open as Readonly), click OK.
--d:Go to Extra again, Open Disk Image, open up goldcard.img which you’ve saved/unzipped earlier. Now, you should have two tabs, one is your removable disk, the other is goldcard.img. Press OK when prompted for “Sector Size” 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks), click OK.
--e:Click on goldcard.img tab. Go to Edit tab > Select All, edit tab again > copy.
--f:Click on the “removable disk” tab. Highlight the offset from 00000000 to offset 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), click on Edit tab and then Paste Write.
--g:Click on File > Save. now you can exit the program.
--h:Reboot the HTC Leo
Then when I browse the SDCard there is just this file: EncFiltLog.menc
Is that correct?

thats right - ( i did mine last night....i say thats right as thats what my memory card ended up with on it.) get the rom and put it on the memory card as well and rename it "LEOIMG.nbh" power off the phone and then boot up holding down the "vol down" button first - you should then be at the flashing stage - thats what i did anyway....now i have a stock htc rom.

And yes, after that i made a donation...happy christmas....

Frp7yd on HTC Hero

finally rooted my phone, BUT, it wont read the SD card, nor when i hook it up to my pc i can'y get anything to come up, i'm using Windows 7 x86, plz plz help
Android Version 1.1.1
Baseband 63.18.55.06PH_6.35.15.11
Kernel
2.6.29-ninpo
[email protected] #14
Mod Version
Froyd-1.1.1-Hero
and also launcher pro wont uninstall =[
Build Number
FrpydVillain1.1.1
and also my contacts won't update with their face beeok, except one... please help =[

1. (SD Card) try going into the settings and formatting it then remount it.
2. (Launcher Pro) Launcher Pro won't installed in the normal fashion because its installed the the system folder. You can get rid of it via ADB although Froyd doesn't have any other launcher installed so you will want to install another one before hand. (and if you install a new one you might as well just swap over to it rather than un-installing
Wez.

i tried to remount, and it wont even read it, when i hook it up to my pc nothing happens. it doesn't even read the new hardware or give me the option to just charge... =/

Ideally, i would recommend you update to latest Froyd 1.2.1, but I'm not sure of what the issue here is...
I'd suggest backing everything on SD to your PC via a card reader, then repartitioning it using recovery, and trying that.

ok, i can boot into carebear, what should i do next? a whole new root? and is Froyo the best ROM to use?

the thing is, i cant get into debugging,i can get into the carebear, but idk what to do from there -.-;

I have the same problem !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you attach it to your PC do you mount the sd card? If you drag down the notification bar when it is connected and select "usb connected" then choose "Turn on USB storage". This will mount the SD card.

there is no icon no mount i used the widget no luck

It isn't an icon to mount it. What widget are you talking about?
You simply drag down the notification bar > press "usb connected" > press "turn on usb storage"

You need to:
1. Download the latest version from http://www.villainrom.co.uk/releases/FroydVillain1.2.1/download.php
2. You simply drag down the notification bar > press "usb connected" > press "turn on usb storage" - alternatively plug the sd-card into an sd reader and follow the rest
3. Open the SD Card folder on your computer.
4. Copy the rom from your computer to your SD Card, do NOT change it, extract the files or put it in any folders
5. Unplug your phone and turn it off (put the sd card in now if you used the reader)
6. Turn the phone on by holding down Home and Power till you get to the custom recovery screen.
7. Select Wipe from the menu, then select:
Wipe data/factory Reset
Wipe Dalvik-cache
Wipe SD:ext partition
Press back button
Select Flash Zip from SD Card
Select the file
Click Confirm
N.B. Ignore any "errors", they are normal and usually mean you're not using that feature.
8. Once it is done, select Reboot and you will boot into the OS

in m,y phone it wont even read that there is an SD card -.-; and when i hook it to pc, it still shows none, i KNOW it works, its a braand new PNY 4 Gb...

As I said - hook it up to a sd card reader, place the files on the card and then boot into recovery with the sd card in and you should be able to flash from there.

it boots into carebear mode and doeskin recognize th3e flash name of the update.zip on my flash

nothing happens, it just charges when i hook it up to the pc, no notifications...

Why why why???

I installed WP7 a couple of days now, but i don't like it... I want to reinstal Android or Windows Mobile 6.5.
BUT! My phone didn't want to be connected to my computer. I want to format my SD Card, but know i can't connect the phone to Zune... I can't use DAF.exe to reinstall Android, The RUU.exe won't format my phone to reinstalle a Custom WinMo Rom...
WHAT CAN I DO???
PS: Sorry for my bad english, i'm french.

I would suggest booting to MAGLDR, selecting USB Storage Option, formating the SD-Card (Using, for instance, EASEUS partition tool).
Afterwards, you should be able to select the Flash Option in MAGLDR and flash an android rom.
Good luck to you, mate!

I did it 10 times... I can't flash with DFT installer... (you know "usb init failure"...). I'm on Windows Seven, but i already tried with "Run as Administrator" checked, doesn't work...

OK here you go:
1)switch off your phone
2)turn your phone on again and keep pressing the red button until MGDLR show up!
Then go to usb mass storage option and press the green button (call button)
3)Connect hd2 to PC.you can now see the SD card in My Computer
4)Download an SD Formatter http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
and press the Option button and select (FORMAT TYPE :FULL ERASE ON AND FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT: ON...Now press ok!)
5)format your card
6)after that reboot phone and follow step 2..
7)In mgdlr select the option USB flasher!
8)Find a Nand build of Android you like and flash it via usb!
9)Done!

I tested with SD Formater.
Everything is okay. MGLDR -> USB FLASHER ->
Error Description: USB init failed
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (723)
Windows 7 with Run As Administrator, etc... etc...
And nothing...

I have to create pratitions for NAND Android, right??? But I can't find a thread who explain all the stuff i have to do to prepare an installation of a NAND Android...

[Q] Why is SD card for boot HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1.2 necessary?

I have flashed my HD2 with HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1.2 (ROM-Zip, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926507). I thought that only sd builds need sd card for booting. But my phone seems not to boot without sd-card, I just see the htc logo.
If I would mount another sd-card into phone, can I just copy the files/directories from one to another or do I have to format/ partition the sd-card in clockworkmod before?
Thx & greets
xeno

anyone?

Because you have to create an ext partition, otherwise you will be missing a few apps and features. Though, v1.3 is fine to flash without partitioning. Inside the download.rar are some very nicely written and easy step by step instructions. Good lick.
Sent from my HTC Inspire

thx for your quick answer
I thought I did partition my sd card by following these instructions
13. Advance down to Partition SD Card menu.
14. Select minimum (512m) maximum (1024m). Your choice which one to use. Recommended is the 1024m, then press call button (left).
15. Select the 0m with the call button (left).
16. Wait until the process is finished.
Or am I wrong?

Remember this:
You need magldr 1.13
Format sd (Fat32)
Update radio (2.15)
Use the DAF.exe provided in the download.
Wait 10 - 15 minutes on 1st boot.

Without sd card, booting still doenst go further than the htc logo :S

Add a question to that: While I can understand 1024MB (1G) is more space than 512MB (0.5G), is there a performance difference between the two? To manage a 1GB EXT4 drive on the SD card is same or more consuming than half of that?
Anyone can shed some light?
** Am running CoreDroid 1.4 with 1G partition, find it slower than I had hoped. SD card is a Class 10 16GB MicroSD.
