Personal experience is that any SD card larger than 2gb will not instal new Rom's
Cards smaller than 2gb work fine.
Yours may be different but try and see. If you do not have a small SD card they are very cheap these days mate
thanks for your suggesion boss. i've tryed as you said,used an one gb sd card.but the result is same.what to do now? i need help.please somebody give me a solution.
thanks

as mentioned, ALL ROMs are capable of being flashed to a phone through SD Card. But since you are a new member, you might need to think of these:
1. did you have the correct filename of the nbh file inside your card?
it should be "BLACIMG.nbh" and must be placed at the root of your card.
2. do you know how to go to the bootloader mode(tri-color screen)?
phone off --> hold "voldown" and short press "power" button
it MUST be working.
thanks for your rep. sir, offcourse i know how to do that,i've tested most of the roms till april'10.last 3months i did not try any.but from till last few days i am trying to change my rom and non of them are working. i am using "xt grid evo", my redio is latest,i am taking rom into the root of my sd card,i am hard formating. but nothing works.
i don't know why,nobody knows why...
You have to rename the ROM image to "BLACIMG" before putting it onto your SD card. I use an 8GB card and have never had a problem.

I think i have a dodgy card because every time i try to use it on my pc it ask's to check for errors. I have done that several times, copied everything to and from the PC to format it and it still has problems. It works OK in the phone though so I just accept the status quo and flash from the smaller card. Going to upgrade soon so will probably get a new SD card then and see if my experience changes after that. Thanks for your help though

It should be renamed "BLACIMG.nbh" NOT "BLACIMG.NBH"
Note LARGE caps AND small caps
When you reboot the phone hold down the Volume down button until the bootloader shows then wait till it reads the card. Then press power button and it will start ti flash the new ROM
Good luck
sir,i know about cap & small matter. acutally i rename "BLACIMG.nbh" but not working....

i've also tryed in a 1gb card sir.anyway,no solution for my problem, bosses can close this thread.
thanks to all
for 1st time i hear someone to have problem flashing because of the SD card!
From 2 years i flash only from the SD card and im with the default 8GB Sandisk that comes with the Phone when i bought it.
So like already many peoples say the answer is
ALL Roms can be flashed with the SD Card methood
How could it be possible I always used my 2gb micro SD but last night I made the decision to say bye to winmo n started using my 16gb. So I transfers the android folder to it used it n all was good then I wanted to back up all of my winmo files so i remove the SD card from my phone n place it in my card reader..n said to reformat the card..I HAVE NO ACCESS TO MY SD CARD.. I can't even format it some how it got protected...even my phone days to formatted but is never successful...ANY ADVISE THANK YOU

ive got a sd problem too. i ever used the same 16gb class2 microsd card tu run android builds and store winmo and android data. last night ive tried to switch from darkstone to matcc android build. i reformatted the sd card, put the files on it (only android folder nothing else) and started android. everything was fine but i´ve got a bsod(radio 2.12.50_2 and german stock vodafone rom). then ive tried another android build but i got the same error(doesnt ever got bsod before). later android didn start at all(every build). then ive tried chuckys rom with matcc vers. 1.5 and ive got the bsod problem again. tried 2 other builds and now andriod doesnt start and i cant even connect my hd2 to my pc(bootloader doesnt connect too) but chucky rom boots correctly. everytime ive tried another build i reformatted my sd card to fat32. hope someone can help me, sorry for bad english.
i got this problem now too. android somehow writeprotected my sd card so i can't put files on or take files off anymore...it's basicallly made my 16gb card useless. can't format or anything. tried through windows mobile, pc, and android...nothing works. anybody know how to fix it?
Same thing happened to me. My class 2 16gb card is now locked and ive found no way to unlock it.
Not that I really liked that card anyway, but it was nice to have so much storage space.
thats no problem. On your adapter for your micro sd card, there is a lock on the side of it. Make sure that it is in the up position. Basically in the unlock position, then it wont be write protected.
No, your not understanding. Its not the physical lock on the adaptor, its a logical lock on the Micro SD itself.
The Micro SD card comes up as locked no matter what I use to try and format, or delete etc.
I've googled like mad trying to find a way to fix it even installing Ubuntu to see if another OS could do it, but everything fails.
Same here I came to a conclusion. That there are some files in the SD card....what was the last buid u were using before this happened...the best solution. For this should be with an android. Phone and astro file management explore the SD card...unlucky. me none of my friends have an android device

lemme try that...i formatted it through my computer and unchecked "quick format" and after like 30 minutes it finished with an error.. hopefully this works.

ok..
whats wrong with just formating the card with ' GPARTED ' .. assumption of Linux usage !
or if you use that sloppy old microsoft O/S then use 'paragon partition manager '
job done yea?

storage tool for wm

yea.. i used mattcleo 1.6b. i can actually still boot up android...but even in android i can't delete anything using astro. I tried replacing android folder using a card reader but that didnt work either... i'm going to try that storage tools suggestion..but i doubt anything will work. CMD finished and said that the disk was unreadable after finishing 99%.
Ok
Sounds like corrupted sectors or damaged disk to me
Put the card into a windows pc and run scandisk on the card, make sure you check : fix errors automatically and scan for bad sectors
Can some one tell me what happened? I've installed android to nand memory and now my sd card only shows 200 mg of space, I took some pictures and now is full, where did my 16gb go? Can someone help me find a solution? Thank you for your help.
No one knows, since you provide 0 information. You can also just check it yourself by examining your sd card in your pc.

thanks for nothing....here is the information, installed android on HD2 on nand memory like the instructions here now it shows 200mb, can someone really help me find out where the rest of the gb went?
can you link the instructions you followed to install nand? also did you partition your sd card correctly? you can double check to see how your sd card is partitioned by using this free program. if i had to take a guess it would seem you have partitioned your sd card backwards but there is little info to go by so its really a stab in the dark.
had wp7 installed before? wp7 formats all your sd card to some weird wp7 only format, leaving just 200gb as normal, readable space.

format your sd card with panasonic sd formatter in your pc.'cause i had the same thing before, and solved this way.
i would backup your sd card to your computer and then once you have backed it up format it with what ever partition manager you like. i personally use minitool 6 which i posted on post 4. then place a fresh copy of android on your sd and flash as normal. dont forget to wipe date/cache/delvic. i cant say for sure if this would fix the problem but i have noticed this simple process fix some of the problems i've had in the past.

So I have this Issue I found my 16gb HD2(I no longer have the hd2) that's I guess corrupted I can view the files move them to my desktop but I cant format the SD, I tried my Nexus One, digital camera, Windows 7, Macbook,ubuntu, mini partition tool and testdisk with no results. I remember this issue happen when I tried to run android through SD maybe you guys know why. thanks
Some sd cards especially ones that have been bought on ebay or overseas have a memory hack in them. What happens is the sd card shows 16gb but in reality it may only have 6-10gb. The hack provides the sd card to show more space then is actually there. You can use it just fine with no problems at all but once you go over the actual memory it really has & not just shows you then get a slew of corrupted files on your sd card leaving it almost useless. This is only 1 example, others causes could be if you take an ad card out while you transferring files to it. In the end there is little you can do and what I would of suggested you've already tried. (minitool) this has helped me fix a card that I was transferring files when my power went out. This will probably not help but have you tried different ports on your computer? What happened when it was in you nexus?

Yeah I learn this lesson on my chinese 32gb lol but on my 16gb sd was actually the one that came with the hd2 so I know for a fact is legit. everytime I put it on my N1 it tries to format it and then a message pops out saying card unmounted. I also tried my good old nokia n82 which usually Nokias are really good at formatting corrupted cards it doesn't give me the choice of formatting the card. Im wondering of their some type of lock on the sd card.
there is a really small lock on the front of a sd card but none that i know of on a micro sd. did you use the minitool partition wizard or the data recovery program? if you only used the partitioning wizard i would try the minitool data recovery program found here.
Running mini tool this is what I get it wont fix it though https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/3-oc0r_Bbv5qrYncR3IzCZaCRbbB6vENK-AyJ2O_CkI?feat=directlink
running minitool data or minitool partitioner? it looks like minitool data if i remember correctly. yeah, it says "minitool found errors on disk but will not fix them because diskcheck was run without fix parameters." i would try it again but select "check and fix detected errors" see if that helps. if it dont help then i would suggest to wait for advise from someone a little more knowledgeable about this.

what about good ol' Check Disk from Windows Explorer?
Another program is SD Formatter 3.0.
Try it and play with the options.
SD formatter is pretty good i must say. Here is another one that might be of some use. I have a corrupted flash drive around somewhere so i'll try and find that. maybe I can play around with it to see what might work and report back. I would also take a look at this link as it provides some very useful information about sd cards. you can find that here, please make sure you read the section on "Formatting is required". This will explain why you may be running into problems along with what the cause might be.
Yea the same thing happened to me with my 8 gig card, i even tried formatting it at best buy and with a camera and still wouldn't format. So i just had to buy a new one.
Hello all, i'm new and noob in the android OS and tablets and stuff, so i'l need a little help from you if you would like...i've got a dell streak 5 and somehow i managed to open it and mount an internal micro sd card 8GB class 10 and i installed a android 2.2 on it with the fast boot and qdl tool. now when i try to install some apps i always receive the following msg: sorry, there's not enough space to install this item. i have a 6.4 gb of free space so...what's the problem here? it is not formatted ? and if is not how should i do this?
please help
try to unmount the external sd and try again
U need to research which card are compatible with the streak... I think it only recognizes 2 or 4gb idr
But anywho, you can't just throw in a big card without even seeing if it'll work first..

If you want the internal SD for apps, but open it, change you internal SD, and make a factory reset (NOT from the custom recovery, use the Dell screen).
Or do you mean to open your Dell?

You didn't format it before inserting the new card? The internal sd should be ext3 like this:
Code:
/dev/block/innersd0p5 /cache ext3 rw,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,commit=99999,data=writeback 0 0
/dev/block/innersd0p6 /data ext3 rw,nosuid,nodiratime,errors=continue,commit=99999,data=writeback 0 0
I don't know how you could install the rom without having acorrect partition type on your sd card, though. Check to see using 'adb shell mount' on your PC. To format the sd card, you'd need a program like parted.
Hope it didn't misunderstand your problem.
yes, i installed android 2.2 without formatting the micro-sd card. if i'm correct, you'll need ext3 partition for the apps, not for the os. or it's done auto when i did this with the qdltool software.
i'll try something else and i'll post the result here
