Hello all.
I'm having difficulty in getting a new rom on my wizard. Something f**ked up with the last update and i cant seem to get it going. I need to update using the SD card and the problem is the OSimagetool doesn't recognise the nk.nbf file to put on the sd card.
Do i need to convert it to .img so that it will boot??
Thanks

Hi Guys
I have the vodafone rom for the BA which ends with *.nb1.
I have tried to get it onto the SD card using xdatools but it always errors out saying not able to read the sector. Is there another way of putting this onto the SD card so i can flash my BA from the SD card in bootloader mode.
Thanks

Hi, I would like to upgrade my rom from SD card. I have the official xda rom pack
Xda_IIi_Upgrade_v111171.exe
and i extracted nk.nbf from that archive
I then inserted an SD card into my reader and tried a
ntrw write nk.nbf f: (which is the card reader letter)
It starts to write and then a few seconds later i get
WriteFile(): nk.nbf -- The parameter is incorrect.
anyone tell me where im going wrong ? thank you
Id also like to know the next step bootloader etc as i havent been able to see a guide for that yet.
many thanks

the card def has to be FAT32. be sure you have it named properly. DIAMIMG.nbh & that its in the root of the sd card. also you may want to try a 2gb or smaller card if perhaps you are trying this on a 8gb or 16gb card. GL
make sure to unlock the phones security and that the file is put in the root of the card and name correctly.

You may be confusing the OP, as the Diamond does not have an external card slot. 4 gb internal only. Is the phone Unlocked, as it sounds like it may not be??
Phone must be unlocked... ROM file must be placed on the ROOT of the internal storage... ROM image MUST be named "DIAMIMG", do not bother adding ".nbh" to the file name, or it will mess up the file.... the file extension is already an nbh and may not show that in the phone's file explorer.
If you're doing all of that, and the ROM is a Diamond specific ROM and not a Touch Pro ROM, it should be fine.

enable "view file extensions" in windows explorer to be sure
Ok - I am attempting to install CM7 on an SD card using verygreen's instructions. I need everyone to pretend I am their grandmother and expect that is the technical knowledge I posess .
I "think" I wrote the image file correctly to the SD Card. I used the Win32 DiskImager thing and wrote it there. However, when I go to put the CM7 zip file it says the card needs to be formatted first. So I format it.....but then doesn't that get rid of the image I jsut wrote to it?
Either way, I can't get the damn thing to boot to anything other than the regular Nook screen.....It is rooted already, but I dont think that should matter. Do I need a setting somewhere to select that it boot from the SD Card?
HELP! I'm stuck at the most trivial of places
I would try the instructions again and not format it before trying to boot the nook from it...when I loaded it onto the SD I didn't need to format it after applying the image (as you said...this erases it)
But when I go to add the zip file I can't because its telling me it needs to be formatted. I've tried formatting it first before doing anything but once I write the image file it wont let me add the zip.....
After you format do you eject the card and then re-insert it?
Otherwise, try another SD card. I find the Nook Color is picky about the SD Card.
Well, apparently I wasn't writing the image correctly. I was writing the .img file not the .gz file (which required me to get some 7zip thing). I extracted it to the SD Card, and then it allowed me to put the .zip file on the card.
But it still won't boot to the SD card. Do I need to do anything other than turn it on with the sd card in the nook? Do I need to change a setting anywhere to allow it to boot to sd? Is it ok that my nook is rooted?
one thing after another
Wait, what? You should be doing:
1) use win32diskimager to write 'generic-sdcard.img' to a card
2) eject the card
3) re-insert card
2) copy the file 'update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip' to the partition that appears. DO NOT UNZIP
When I used image writer and wrote the .img file, it didn't let me add the .zip file to the card.....said I needed to format it first. Since it was named .img.gz I thought maybe I needed 7zip to extract.
This is getting confusing.
Do NOT unzip 'update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip'
Do unzip 'generic-sdcard-v1.1.img.gz' -> 'generic-sdcard.img'
i'm glad i'm not the only one confused! You totally helped me...I needed to unzip the .gz thing and then write the .img file (I told you to talk to me like a grandma!)
Its booting now.....I see a penguin!!!
thanks everyone
Hey Guys!!
My first post was bit dumb
so new start!
my problem is that my HTC dosn't find the SD card.. in ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.2.7 I cant format Sd card..
When I try to install the Stock Ruu i got an error. I Think its because there is a T-Mobile branding on it. So i tried to flash the ruu manually, but when i edit the android-info.txt and rezip it, 7zip/winrar tells me that the archive is broken.
Now I try to fromat the sd card via Ubuntu 12.0.4 but I'm a noob with Ubuntu and dont know how to find and format this sd card!
Could anybody pls help me!
Edit: After hours of testing i finally got it.
