Cant flash Rom with CWM - XPERIA X8 General

Hey dudes,
i took my x8 after a while out of dust and i flashed the nAa-11. So i want to flash a new rom (ICS), but every file that i copy to my sd card looks like corrupt. There is always an error with (bad) in it.
And yes i downloaded the rom 4 times and its the same though.
But theres another problem, i flashed the nAa kernel new because i thought it was a problem there, now my x8 only goes black. (At the moment on stock to get SMS )
Does anyone has an idea to solve my problems?

try flashing with xrecovery?

I managed to get the CWM working again but all my files seem to be bad.
Dude, for the best roms u will need CWM so i dont use xrecovery anymore.
I try to download miui so i will see if its ok.

Hi exebreez
Try this:
- Backup the data on your mSD to your computer (i.e. put the card into a mSD adapter).
You get any errors in Windows about "File can't be read"?
If not...
- Format the mSD FAT32 in Windows (NO QUICK FORMAT!)
Format went through without errors?
If yes...
- Copy the data back onto the mSD
Windows coughed up any errors like "Failure while writing to drive x:"?
If not...
- Put the card back into your phone and turn it on.
- Connect the phone in USB-Storage mode to your computer
- Copy the update ZIP you would want to flash
- Pull a md5sum of the file on your computer and pull a md5sum of the file on your phone (the USB mass storage drive).
Use this free utility to perform the job.
Do the md5sum's match or not?

thanks mate

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

MIUI 2.3.4 for Galaxy S - v1.6.3 sd card problem

Hello ! Yesterday I installed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13782793&highlight=microsd#post13782793 on my SGS, and I have a big problem ! I can not acces my external microsd card. What I should do ?
I am using same rom and I am able to access it.
Just take out sd card, switchoff, take out battery insert sd card again,and battery
Reboot.
That should work, if not
Install newer version 1.6.10
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Is not working at all(reboot=not, update=nothing changed)... When i connect the cellphone to pc I see only the phone storage and the sdcard storage not.. I do not know what to do
Same problem. Card is readable on PC. Won't read in MIUI anymore. Even formatting the card won't help. External_SD-map is already there but none of the files on the ExtSD are there.
I'm guessing you came from a gingerbread rom and didn't flash the froyo bootloaders. Alternatively, look under sdcard/external_sd

+1 you need froyo bootloader. I had the same issue. Resolved by flashing froyo and reinstalling MIUI.

I installed this ROM but there are a lot of bugs, camera stop working after you take picture, the music player need to be refreshed every time, ringtone changer problem etc etc... It's a beautiful ROM but with those bugs isn't worth..
I've had this problem too. I've resolved it installing a Froyo Stock rom with odin and after making exactly this like is in the Miui thread:
0: Be sure that you're based on a Froyo FW! CRUCIAL.
1: Load these files:
a) galaxy-efsbackup.zip / Mirror
b) cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar / Mirror
c) MIUI MCGv5.3 / Mirror
d) speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar / Mirror
(thanks to creative59 for mirrors!)
2: Copy all files except:
speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar & cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar
3: Flash speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar via Odin, wait for reboot and after that shutdown
4: Start via 3-button-combo in recovery mode and install galaxys-efsbackup.zip
5: Pull out battery and in again, start via 3-button-combo via download mode and flash cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar via Odin BUT DON'T check repartition and auto reboot
6: Pull out the USB cable and start (in download mode) with 3-button-combo in recovery mode (waiting until samsung logo appears)
7: Choose "mounts & storage" and format system, data, cache
8: Flash MIUI MCGv5.3.

Note thar I don't have the SD card inserted on the phone during this procedure. I've put the SD card after the first boot (with Miui rom) on the phone and reboot the SGS to work. And to work you will need a folder called "external_sd" (without "") on the SGS internal SD. Make shure that you have this folder when you insert the external SD card.
I encountered this problem too, I had froyo before miui. Used miui a while, suddenly external sd didn't work. I tried everything. Managed to fix it this way:
1. Make sure external_sd folder is on sdcard, if not, make one and name it that.
2. Take out sd card
3. Shut it off
4. Battery out (I tried without taking the battery out, doesn't work, take it out)
5. While battery is out, put ext sd in
6. Turn it on
Probably it will work, if not, do it again, and instead of step 6, boot into recovery.
Format system and cache. Reflash whichever rom you were on. If this didn't work, and you really were on froyo before flashing, well, the sd might be broken, your card reader in the phone might be broken, or you might need to double check the froyo base you used.
when I connect the phone with pc,the pc dosen't recognise the sd card, do you have any solution for this, guys ?
sdcard is there but does not work
Oops, double post... sorry
sdcard is there but does not work
I can access my ext sdcard via file explorer but it says that it's not supported by a2sd+ I got the same problem with Cyanogen mod. I came from froyo 2.2.1 flashed clockworkmod 2 then installed 2.2 version of miui after that I flashed 3.0. So I guess I did nothing wrong. I followed the instructions on the miui website.
Can't find a single solution that fixes my problem. Every attempt ( also those here ) did not work so far. Also if I install an app it forecloses on opening. Maybe this has something to do with a2sd not working properly. for instance I can't install whatsapp it forecloses after I put in my phone number and screenname.
Hi......with a file explorer create a folder in: mnt/sdcard/external_sd
create another folder in: /sdcard/external_sd
reboot and miui see the Ext SD in file explorer but A2SD don't work for it

[Q] SD card blocked after update CWM

Today, many hours ago, i wanted to install the
[ROM][22/1/12][U8800][MIUI][v2.1.20][MULTILINGUAL][2.6.35 Kernel]
I came from the
[ROM][15/01/2012][U8800][MIUI][v2.1.20][MULTILINGUAL][2.6.32 Kernel]
So first changed my CWM into version ClockworkMod [v5.5.0.4]
I first pasted the new rom on my U8800 (previous versions i also had the network problems so needed latest version) SD card, then did the new CWM install and after this i lost all sound and mic...
I tryed to install the new ROM but still the network problem...
So i did my back-up but again no sound/mic/vibrate working...
After this i wanted to put an older rom or maybe CWM back on my SD card but now the SD can't be written on...
What can i do now...
Someone plz help me... Now my phone doesn't have network or any sound, vibrate also isn't working...
Best regards VdBRoald
Try to update from internal sd?
Also, the newer MIUI requires you to install official 2.3.5 before you install it. The newer has different kernel .35 that is required for all functions to work. (Batterystat , network, wlan, etc.)
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App
thx for reply,
The inside memory is to small for installing a ROM and atm i only have the Build-in SD card, the one that is now write protected for a reason...
Because i came from another rom i think it isn't needed for first upgrading my standard version into 2.3.5...?
Best regards
Trust me, it is needed. .35 roms don't work unless you have first installed official 2.3.5.
Buy sdcard and try to install from there.
Try to mound/unmoung sd in cwm and try to install then.
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App
Try first to mount sd card on pc and check it for errors with windows check disk app. I don' t think that the card is damaged. Then you need to put dload folder from 2.3.5 official rom package(instructions are on package' s pdf file) and flash it from bootloader by pressing vol+,vol-,power when device is off.
The SD card isn't damaged , just is write protected now...
Tryed to mount/unmount in CWM but gives an error (because of problem mensioned i think...)
I can buy a new one but i hope it doesn't reaches that point... :x
Put the card in a card reader and mount it on pc. I don' t think that you have problems then.
It is a build-in SD card so i can't reach it... :'(
edit:Just wanted to dl the official 2.3.5 release from Huawei.
But all sites seems to have deleted the file...
Do you have 5.5.0.4 recovery? I had same problem with that.
Try to change your recovery to Genokolars 5.0.2.7 or the official 5.0.2.6 one.
Firstly, you should've updated your base ROM to B522, then flash MIUI. The problem for your case is that the new kernel does not work with the old base.
Here's what you should do:
Flash B522.
Flash CWM.
Flash MIUI.
How can i do this without an sd card that can be written ons?
I Will do this after i found the solution for the SD card problem, then i can copy new files on it...
PS: factory reset also doesn't work because off problems
You change the recovery in PINK SCREEN not in internal sd card.
Change the recovery, then youll be able to access sd, at least I did.

Use another phone or, even a camera. Insert the micro SD to that, connect to USB, make folder dload on the card, copy the update.app into there and do the steps I wrote before.
All already thx for the comments, i just got a new sd card, for the low cost of 8euro i don't bother for more trouble handling with that. So now i'am trying to do everything with my new card.
It was a hard start because it wasn't working well in beginning, i put the files off the first step true pc (in SD holder) and is now installing the new firmware... let's hope that all the rest will go a bit easyer
Thx a lot to all the replyers and specially to Blefish!
Everything is working perfect now!
The only thing i now have to do is search for some nice ring and message tones
Finally i can call and be called again

U8800 pro serious problem

Ok lets start from the beginning:
I was trying to upade from 2.2.2 official to 2.3 official and now i'm messed up because after the step : "upgrade sd card" my phone restarted and my usb cabel was still on and phone started charging,after that i tried to turn on my phone.It worked but after 20secs my screens freezes and cant do anything even turn off i need to take battery out,also phone not detects my sim card...
Any idea? My phone is rooted,have installed CWM5.0.2.3,but have no backup only public one...But i can't mount usb storage because i get error like "E:Unable to open ums lunfile(no such file or directory)
ANY IDEAS????
I can get to pinkscreen aswell
If you have an external sd card put the public backup there and try to restore via cwm (if you get boot till there). You can also try the update procedure(the dload folder and stuff) but put them in the external sd card! The phone should boot from there.
Anyway,better wait for more answers since I'm not the best in here.I just know how to flash some custom roms.

sorry for dumb question but microsd = external sd? if yes - then i placed the backup in the card but in cwm only phone memory shows no sdcard...
Edit: external i got that
well it actually is an external microsd card
did you manage to restore via cwm?
P.S. if cwm doesn't see your se card go to advaced->reboot into recovery
should be able to see it now

When i do "reboot into recovery" my phone double restarts and 2nd time it turns on normally not into recovery...
Don't know why this is done,but I think we should be happy that your phone isn't bricked
Maybe someone else here can help you and provide better solutions than mine
Have a read through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639761.
Has a link in it to how I solved my issue of constant reboots.
Also , since you can load pink screen, you can connect through usb and change your recovery to 5.0.2.7. That's the one i used. Make sure that you have a cust.img file in the "image" folder. That is where the recovery should be too but am guessing you already know that.
If for some reason you dont have cust.img you can find and download a generic version in these forums. Did not need it so I did not bookmark the post I found it in but I think it was the Kalo's Honor Port thread in the pro development section.

[q] defy + problems

I have many problems with my two month old defy plus..some problems are really strange and i cant really understand if its a problem with the phone or the sd card...
i am gonna explain all of them.
1. SD card problem..the sd card causes a lot of problem ..the most affected application is swiftkey..after days of working correctly..suddenly a message pops out unable to load language packs..and the keyboard becomes unusable.on unmounting and mounting the sd card..the problem sumtyms goes..sometimes not.
2.applications go missing on their own.
3. transferring files via bluetooth is very very hard...only zip files can be transferred..and sometimes when the transfer fails..the phone has to be rebooted to start transferring again..or sd card has to unmounted and remounted
4.on switching on the phone error messages comes such as " unparseable date"..
5n deleting any folder from the mem card via file explorer..the swiftkey keyboard failes showing messages like unable to load languagepacks or failed to store dyanamic language
6 droid sail frequently fails to move apps to sd card..although my phone is rooted..error messages such as no root no usb debugging is shown..although both of them are on
7:sms back up software not working..it shows write access denied..
8 titanium pro cant be installed.it shows that memory is not available although i have 1 gb of free internal memory
and my last question..will CM9 solve these problems??????
please reply
Please inform your ROM, it may help us identify your problem.
But seems to me that your SD Card is corrupted, try inserting it on a computer and formatting it (backup your stuff first).

i am using original ROM..no custom roms installed...and i am doing the formatting right now..will tell if the problem is gone

You could check sdcard for errors in Windows (right click on sdcard drive letter & select check for errors) . Windows will correct it automatically. This way u won't loose any data on your sdcard. Don't forget to unplug it safely in windows afterwards, otherwise it may become corrupted again.

yes i am having a lot of problems with the stock firmware...i have a question from you..can u transfer apk files directly from your laptop to your mobile via bluetooth or do you have to zip it first???in my mobile only zip files can be send via bluetooth..nothing else is accepted.
Did you find a fix about sd card problem? I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1596997 but i don't know if the fix works with GB kernels. I have a 2.3.4 stock rom, and i can't write on my sdcard, i can only read it.
Do you have a high class card?
are you using a 32 gb card if yes downgrade to a lower capacity,
or you can try a class 10 card if u r using a class 4 card
or u can use ur large capacity card latter on if u upgrade ur defy plus, say after ur warranty is complete
i am not suggesting trying a new rom because ur defy is just 2 months old and gingerbread is not outdated al the apps come for it
