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

How to flash ROM from Bootloader?

Hi all,
I have some trouble. I tried to flash new ROM from romkitchen.de, but there was an error on 98%. Now the mda, starts to bootloader (wallaby bootloader v5.15). I don't know what to do now. I found this> http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD , So I cooked rom (NK.nb1) and via osimagetool it wrote to SD (is it same like ctrl c + ctrl v ?). But when mda starts, nothing happens - onlz bootloader starts. What's wrong?
thanks for your answers and sorry for my english

you can check if you did it correct by putting the sd card in the pc
if it's containing a rom the pc cant even read the card
if the card have a rom it should flash automaticly when you enter bootloader

it's incorrect. I don't know how to dwrite rom to sd...What format of ram (.nb1 , .nbf) can be written to sd by osimage?

one choose the sdcard reader as distination
and osi should be able to work with both nb1 and nbf

well...but sd card still can be read in pc. SD i ve god sd reader in my ntb... :/

where did you get the nb1 or nbf ?
only wallaby roms will work

yes, i know it. rom is from romkitchen.de

What for Cardreader are you using? Internal devices often causes problems....
If you have another person that has a wallaby you could backup his rom on the sd-card and install it on your device....
The ROM in nb1 or nbf have to be written via osimagetool. I is written in special format and it is complete different from ctrl + c -> ctrl +v.....

i use cardreader in my notebook asus a9n. I'll try it on another pc

help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay I followed these instructions and now my phone will not go past the white verizon startup screen.

1. With a card reader on your PC, format a non-SDHC (<=2GB) microSD card into FAT32 (tested to work up to a 4KB cluster size)
(the default size for a 1 GB would not work, also if it takes only a few seconds to format
try formating with some other slot/device. A 1 GB took over a minute to format correctly)
To format your Card - Open a DOS box and type/copy and paste this: ( format ?: /FS:FAT32 /A:1024 )
Replace the ? with whatever your SD cards drive letter is... ie: f, h, I.... Mine is G....
2. Copy the ROM to flash (xxxxxxxx.nbh) to the root of the microSD
3. Rename the ROM xxxxxxx.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh
4. Insert your card.
5. Force into the boot loader with POWER-CAMERA-RESET
6. Follow the instructions and you'll quickly flash your Titan...
7. You may have to soft reset once it says the update is complete
(If you are using UC let the customizations run so it will read the SDConfig.txt file)
This will work to flash with an official ROM and radio, I think regardless of the boot loader you have installed. But ensure that you have the correct boot loader (olipro 2.40 for this GPS ROMs) installed for when you do eventually finish with your flashing and are ready to boot into the OS.

If you are running a no2chem rom you need to pull the battery out for 10 or so seconds. If it's a different custom rom like dcd's you need to most like aquire another one because yours could be corrupt. Tell me what rom you have and if you used someone cooked rom or cooked your own and I'll try to help.

[Q] SD Card doesn't work anymore after phone crash.

I have been using NAND Android for a couple of months now without any issues, but the other other day my phone totally froze as I was starting Angry Birds. I had to remove the battery and put it back in. It booted up again, but right when the phone asked for my SIM pin-code it "restarted". Meaning, it freezes for a bit, before the white "quietly brilliant" animation shows up again. And this went on forever. It just show that animation over and over. So I removed the battery and booted the phone back up, same issue.
Then I tried removing the SD-card and voilà, the phone works again. No problems.
So I put the SD-card back in after the phone was properly booted and I had entered the PIN number etc, but it froze as the "preparing your SD card" message appeared.
Did the phone corrupt my SD card?
I don't have a card reader for a micro SD-card, so I haven't been able to check if it works outside of my phone..
I can't really remember which ROM I used, but it's a clean stock build.
here is some information from my phone:
Android "model number": HTC Desire A8181
Radio version: 2.15.50.14
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-prjv4
Build nr: 2.29.405.5 CL293415
Software nr: 2.29.405.5
SD-card: Sandisc 8GB HC

Yes it's close to be sure (what's why I only use NAND).
Anyway, just try to format your SD, of course not from android but MAGLDR or CWM. Don't remember which of the two can do this as I always use the reader of my laptop.
If this doesn't work delete/recreate your partition (one of the two can play with SD partitions).
You can also use the USB from MAGLDR (I know it corrupt data... bla bla bla) as you have no reader.

Just wanted to update this thread in case anyone else experience something similar.
I found out that my SD-card was corrupt. Buying a new one was the only option and everything works fine again.

In case of software fail, you can only corrupt data on SD, but not hardware of SD-card. May be there is not Android problem, but problem of SD card yourself on hardware level. I lose all data at my SD-card after sortware errors, but I always can format SD card once more for restore partition.

[Q] How to fix corrupted HD2 serial no.?

Help please - The serial number inside my HD2 is corrupted.
I've tried many ways to flash a new ROM but get the "Invalid Device Id" error when I:
- run the ROM Installer with official 3.14 RUU
- try to install HSPL
- try to flash with SSPL.
If I try to flash ROM 3.14 (HK) from an sd card the bootloader shows "loading" then freezes on the screen with the coloured bars. (SD card formatted in HD2).
Fortunately, I can still flash the original 1.72 ROM from an SD card, so my HD2 is still working. But I can't install any of the HTC hotfixes (6 hotfixes since 1.72 released plus 2 hotfixes since 3.14 released).
I now see that the serial no. is corrupted (Settings/About phone/Phone identity) - it shows "a" and a box character instead of the usual string of letters and numbers (probably from trying a few days ago to install an bad version of Skype!!).
How can I fix the serial number and device id.? I have the original serial number (on the box).
PLEASE HELP!! Thanks in advance.
HD2 T8585 Hong Kong
ROM: 1.72.831.1 Hong Kong
Radio: 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol: 15.32.50.07U
SPL 1.66

I do not know bow you manually enter your SNl number. But to flash a ROM via SD card try reformating your SD card with a computer and a SD card reader and use Fat 32 when you format it.Also try to use a 8GB or down to a 500MB SD card.

The simple way is to enter a different id there is a thread on here somewhere that give alternate id's and they are region specific so you need a hk based key, then you can flash (or a WWE key to flash the WWE rom, you get the idea)

Thanks, T-Macgnolia - I've already tried a card formatted by computer, as you suggest. The same error results.

Thanks, johnerz. What do you mean by "alternate id"? Is that the same as entering the serial number appropriate for my region so I may download updates from HTC? If so, my serial no. is valid so I can download any update from HTC Hong Kong. The problem is that I can't install them because they recognise that the serial no. in my HTC has been corrupted. The HTC updates give an error (indicate that I don't have an HTC device) because they can't find a valid serial no. in my HD2 during the install process.
If "alternate id." is different from entering the serial no. on the HTC website then please explain further. Thanks again.

Hi i have exactly the same issue with a Dutch HD2. It seems to me that this occured after i sent my phone out for repairs for 3 times when the phone only showed white screens. Now i can't update any rom. It still works with the currently installed windows, and i can succesfully reset to factory defaults (hard reset), but i really want to upgrade to android.
No HSPL or any of that stuff is possible. Does any one have a solution for this? I even tried creating a leoimg.nbh file with the same corrupted serial number embedded using Revskills, but no success.
Hope anyone can help because i'm really stuck.
