First let me start off by saying, this is going from the original 2015 pro Seagate 500GB drive to an identical model one that's brand new. Not an SSD or anything like that.
The crux of my issue is, there are bad sectors in the partition table of the original, so following the DD commands doesn't work. DD spits out errors reading sectors on "lastpart.bin". I tried contacting NVidia, but got the old "go buy a new one". The shield itself seems to run fine until you do something that tags storage.
Is there a guide somewhere for cloning, or better yet, a downloadable image to flash directly? Preferably in Windows. Thanks!

I just lost my X7500 yesterday, pretty sad right now~~
I'm thinking about get The Shift, however I found that there are two different versions, 120GB and 40GB, I'm not sure what else is different. and I just wondering if I can upgrade the hard drive by myself? if yes, how to get system installed or just copy it from old hard drive. thx
normally wat we get is 40GB htc shift depends on dealers that is selling htc shift. and Yes, u can upgrade the hdd urself. get the right 1.8 inch hdd or SSD with zif connector. in order to get system installed(xp , or windows 7) ,please follow the thread in this forum. to use vista from original hdd, use the image copy software to backup to another drive. thats it.
Hi,
I'm trying to create a bootable SD card with CM7 for my nook color. My intent is to have a dual boot option. I followed instructions from one the threads here and tried to perform the first step of loading the bootable image in the sd card. But I'm facing an issue using Win32DiskImager. The moment I select the image and try to load, it throws an exception "file is currently in use...". After googling around, it looks like the issue is due to the fact that I'm running a 64 bit windows version.
Just wondering if there's any workaround to this issue. Unfortunately,this is the only pc I've currently, so I've to make it work on a 64 bit.
Any pointer will be high;y appreciated.
- Thanks
Use WinImage. I couldn't get Win32... working either.

Thanks for ur reply Taosaur. I tried the 64 bit version of Winimage earlier. But I got the following exception : Error in writing disk Disk 1, error 5 : Access is Denied.
Not sure what's causing it. Have you seen this by any chance?
Use the old version r0.15 of Win32DiskImager.
I have no problem creating bootable or flashable uSD running W7 64-bit OS
I have no issues writing the image to the SD card with the newest version of this program on five different PCs running Win7 x64.
Sorry, can't be more help than just to say that I've successfully used win32diskimager too on Win7 x64 (win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.2-r23-win32 to be exact).
I think I got the "in use" error from Win32DiskImager on Win7 64 bit but I just hit ok because it was talking about my a:\ drive, not my flash drive. I was then able to select my flash drive from the list and use it normally.
It may be your card-reader, too; many people have reported problems writing images to uSD in one of those all-in-one cardreaders found on many laptops, and had to get a USB uSDHC drive.
Thanks for the suggestion guys....well,here's what I figured so far.
The sd card seemed to be showing only 115 mb in Windows instead of 4gb. Not sure it was causing the issue. I used Mini partition tool to wipe out the partition, then create a new partition and format it.After that, I was able to see 4 gb as sd card capacity.
Now,I tried WinImage32 to burn the image. It progressed to around 20%, threw exception and close the process. I was not sure whether it was able to complete, but my guess is probably not. Now, when I looked into the sd card, I noticed couple of things. First, the sd card size is back to 115 mb and secondly,there are boot image files and directory.
Since,I'm not able to post a snapshot of the files, I'm trying to quote them here.
MLO --> 15 kb
u-boot --> 282 kb
uImage --> 2,692 kb
uRamdisk --> 5,108 kb
As suggested by votinh, I'll try the older version of WinImage. As far as reader is concerned, I tried couple of different sd readers. But both threw the same exception.
A single 100ish MB partition is what Windows (but not EASEUS) should be seeing after the image is written. Windows will only see the first partition of a uSD: in this case, /boot.
It sounds like the image wrote with at least partial success. You could drop a CM7 install file on there and give it a try in the NC--maybe Windows is making noise for no reason.
@Taosaur .... tried version r0.15 of Win32DiskImager as per your suggestion, it worked like a charm. I was able to write the image and copy the CM7 version as well. I'm going to try it out on NC now, thanks a lot for your help. Appreciate it.

Anyway, I'm glad it works.

Hi again,
My son prepared a 500GB model to boot Ubuntu from SD card and it seems there is an empty EMMC in the device. That's no news, but has anyone yet given a try to flash this memory? I would like to give it a try, but is there a straight DD copy of the memory available somewhere?
If there is not a copy anywhere yet, will someone make it?
Come on. Is there someone to help with this experiment?
I just need a dump from whole 16BG "disk".
So, after messing around with some partition stuff on my BNRV500, I have now completely lost all partitions on the nook. No problem I thought as I had a disk image backup of course! However, when I try to open that backup I get an error that the backup is corrupt. Is there any way someone could upload a complete disk image of all 9 partitions for the BNRV500? I'm not sure how to edit the serial number software side, but I would imagine I'd have to to avoid conflicts.
Edit: Alternatively, is there a complete replacement option with the nook I can use? Like Rockbox on certain mp3 players?

Um....so is this the 4 Gb NTG? Does it even have an SD card slot?
As you can tell, I'm not familiar with your device (I have a plain NST), but there is an extensive method for recovering the NTG here. Maybe it will help?
Edit: Aha. So I see this model has no SD card slot. But someone must have figured out a way to access the system via USB/ADB or I guess you would not be here now.
So....Does this have the same system as the standard NTG model? In other words, is it just a matter of a difference in RAM (and the size of the various partitions)? If that's the case, and you have nothing else to lose, you might begin by recreating the original partition structure/type and then perhaps restoring from the standard NTG image, partition by partition. That assumes you have some way to access the device like USB. I don't think I've ever come across a image of the BNRV500 itself.....
I have been off the forums for a couple years doing Phonlab work and a few days ago I was reading some threads and then I read this one and several people are in a qualcomm state 9008 and so I decided to help, and then I found out no files are available. So I need a brave volunteer to help us out by doing the following,You will receive credit,
1. It must be the model H790 16gb, if you have H791 or H790 32GB I will take those too but I have access for testing on the one requested H790 16GB
2. Do a full factory reset
3. Root and Install TWRP
4. Get a 16GB Flash drive or one you do not mind formatting
5. Take the flash drive put it in the phone format it to exfat and 16GB, once you have TWRP Installed go to storage and note the directory name of the flash drive I think it is usbdisk but if its different then usbdisk then replace usbdisk with the correct name then go to advanced connect with adb open a command prompt and type these commands
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/usbdisk/backup.img bs=512 count=30535646
The backup is 16GB then zip it up into a rar file and upload it and send me the download link I will do the rest, lets do 16GB First for the H790
Hi,
Do you need this to be done on a specific rom or when you say "full factory reset" you mean on the original google rom?

Yes we need stock firmware and after you root you can run the cmd line above
Mmm i just checked and since i bought mine in France where i live i think I probably have the H791 one, not the H790 version that you got in the US.
Would you still be interested anyway?
I can make an image backup of my current phone using TWRP then wipe everything, do what you need using my 32GB SD card and flash back my image, the problem is that i'm living in the countryside so my network speed is pretty awful and it's impossible for me to upload 16GB from my home using my poor xDSL line
But what i can do is next time i have to go to the city i can go to a cybercafe and upload it using their fiber line if no one else did it for you before.

That would be great yes you need a 32GB Card and that is a large upload. Thank you that will be helpful for the h791 folks

Sorry, but I don't understand how you would like to fit a 16 GB partition into N5X memory, where only 16 GB is available?
N5X has no memory card slot.

And as noted by ze7zez, the phone has no expandable storage slot.
If there is an alternative way to do this, I can help!
I'm still looking for the files needed so that we can create flash files for this device please remember that the majority of these bricks are from the factory in poor manufacturing that is to say that when they balled the chip to the board the solder that was used wasn't good enough so as the phone heats up over time it causes cracks and pooling in those balls and it creates separation from the chip and the board in the cases where a actual soft bricked happened and is software related this is where we can help but I do need the files
