hi
it is possible to write ROM from SD Card ??
Yes it is, if you have the backup rom on SD card. Enter bootloader with sd card inside the device and it will ask you whether or not to flash the rom.
i don't have backup on SD Card
why do you need to use SD flashing? this was primary designed for emergency purposes, it makes physical rewritement of all parts of ROM (could be compared with complete format of your pc, not just quick format)a and new initialization
of course, you must have SD card to take backup from - this is easy to create with various tty clients, the most used for it is mtty (putty and others could be also used)
I need to flash my harmer from sd can you write how do it??
I dont have backup on sd can make for me thiece backup and send me on mail or something like thiece ?? My harmer stop on splash screen i was flashing on cid locked maschine :|
- I tought that a SD backup was needed, and yes it is. But u can use your own phone and your own SD to do it.
2- Get a clean SD card (in qtek 9100 / Htc Wizard case is MiniSD) with 128MB (some people say 64MB, but I personally used a 128MB, maybe a 64MB is enough)
3- Kill (task manager) wescomm.exe (this is related with activesync installed on your PC). Insert the blank SD card on the phone.
4- Get your phone in bootloader mode. Like this : Phone powered off, press Camera button + Power On, will enter in bootloader mode (RGB screen).
5- Now connect your USB cable to your phone. And start MTTY_updateROM.exe (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/romupdate.rar). After open, on Port selection, choose \\.\WCEUSBSH001 and press OK. A window will open with a blank sheet.
6- Type "r2sd all" and hit enter... wait to the end (at end shows "cmd>"). On your phone screen u can follow backup progress... small bar will appear down the RGB screen.
7- Power off the phone (or remove battery), enter bootloader mode (camera button + power on) and this time RGB won´t appear right away. Will ask if u want to "download SD image", press voice dial button to agree, and writting will begin. Wait to the end. Power off and power on normally. Now your phone should be working ok. Not even needed to reflash the phone after this.
Thanks to all and hope this helps more people with this problem""
In Wizard forum Ozzy give me thiece solution
I screw my Wizard....
Hi,
Im really new to all this, and... in a few words, I screw the registry of my Wizard T-Mobile, and now it doesn't boot, I can enter to the rgb mode, and, I understand that flashing from SD can help me, but, the steps described above are for restore a backup or make a backup ? Im so confused
Thanks in advance.
UPDATED: It worked great! but... just one thing, The SD is not reconigzed by my phone, is any way to format it from the Multi-Port/USB TTY ?
Regards.

I did all that you said (backed up to SD card, then restored to SD card successfully), but the problem still remains (obviously).
Is there anywhere I can simply download a 'clean' image file specially formatted for SD cards?

I see all these awesome "ROM's" and firmwares I'd like to have on my phone..and I download them, but I don't know how to install them on my phone.
I'm still running WM 5
Please help!!
anybody help a n00b out? WM5 sucks lol
First, you wanna get Hard-SPL (or HSPL). This allows you to get custom ROMS. Follow this great tutorial by navenedrob here. It will unbrand, unlock, and get HSPL on your phone.
Afterward, take a memory card and format it into FAT32 format. Add the .nbh file to your memory card.
Insert the memory card into your phone and hold down the media button (the one below the volume rocker) and press the reset button (the one next to the memory card slot) with the stylus. This will take you to the bootloader. Press the end key (power button) to start the update. Once the update is done, reset the device.
I would recommend this ROM from navenedrob. It is WM 6.5 and very stable. He is making a new one, but it still has bugs. To get the ROM go here.

Thanks so much! I'm gonna need to buy a memory card for it and then I'll continue on and post here if I have any further questions. Thanks again.
Remember to get an SD card. Not SDHC. Our phone only has a max of 2 GB.
Remember SDHC works but not for flashing I have 4GB microSDHC with adapter which runs fine..
Ya I know but he is talking about flashing to a new ROM.
So the problem is with using SDHC for flashing ROMS, nothing to do with microSD right?
I do have a 1GB microSD with SD adapter and been trying to flash a new ROM for a couple of days with no success.
CheetahUnlocker runs fine for the first 2 steps, but when booting the phone in bootloader with the SD card and a CHEEIMG.NBH file on it, it will not flash the rom ever...
I looked and can not find things mentioning via sd card only via PC. If I am wrong, I am sorry but I didn't find it. Could you attach a link to where it mentions it? What do I name the .nbh?
Yes you can, the image needs to be called BLACIMG.NBH
and you need hspl on youre phone and the mem formatted to fat 32:-o

I just received it today from ebay, does this seem to be already for me to flash it?
It has 6.1 installed
Bootloader screen says
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.56.OliNex
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v6
Bootloader says "No Image File"
I have the BLACIMG.nbh file on my 1GB card and it's not loading it. I have done it the same way on my HTC Jade multiple times with the same sd card.
I TRIED WITH ANOTHER ROM AND IT WORKED JUST FINE. I don't know what was wrong with the other one but Thanks for everyone's help.
I'm afraid you're not following the right procedure. This should do the job.
1. Copy BLACIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.
2. Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.
3. Turn off your device . Fully power the device off by long press of power key.
4. Go to bootloader mode. Push and hold Vol Down + press Power button.
5. As soon as presented the message, push Power button to start flashing or Volume Down button to cancel.
6. The whole procedure will take about 3 minutes. After you finish and see the relative message, soft reset your device, you are ready.
Make sure you formatted your sd-card.
To enter Bootloader, starting from powered off phone, hold down volumebutton and briefly press powerbutton.
You can also always use the "search" funtion on the forum startpage. Topbar (brown) on the right side.
It's recommendable to hardreset your device after flashing.
Good luck.

I got it to work just fine I used another ROM and it worked just fine. I have also had success with my JADE with no problem. I edited the post before stating what I did to get it to load successfully. Thank You for the assistance though, that is a easy step by step tutorial of how to perform the flash from sd.
I got a kingston card (8gb) it works perfect but for some reason I cant flash from there... I use my backup 2gb scandisk

you're right, this trick will not work with SD-HC cards, only "normal" SD-Cards will do the job

I have a 16 gb MicroSd-HC (Sandisk) and regularly flash blacimg.nbh files from this card. Never had any problems. My phone has hardspl and is secuurity unlocked courtesy Olipro
This has been covered many times before in wiki and stickies. Thread closed
Well day one is over and I think I might have the first bricked NC. I used CWR to flash this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932211
I kept getting a keyboard input error and it never worked correctly. I've been reading nonstop through the forum and now my NC won't turn on.
I look through the thread again, only to find out that it is locked and in red letters it now says "just keep away from the SDcard formatting option in settings." Anyone want to guess what I did before I read that? Yup, I formatted the SD card through settings.
It says to use a certain file to flash boot again but I have no idea how to do that if the thing won't even turn on. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't post in the thread because it is locked.
MY NOOK IS ALIVE AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Not sure what all I did but it's up and running again. I started with the partition file mentioned in the closed thread. I then did a full restore to 1.0. This then lead me to a boot loop with the grey N screen. From there I re-rooted and it almost loaded. After that I did the power +N button and it reinstalled 1.0 for me. I have since rooted the NC and am leaving it as is until Cyanogen comes out with their ROM.
you made a big mistake by starting off with that flash to emmc rom. You should have started with rooting the original firmware.
Try this to get back to stock.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720
If this doesnt work use my fool proof guide here:
Code:
http://mrm3.net/2011/01/24/113/
I rooted the NC using Huskermania's video on YouTube. I should have left well enough alone but seeing all the videos of 2.2, I wanted it as well.
Thanks you for the link. I plan to follow every step later in the day, after get some rest and relieve some stress. My only worry is, will the Nook turn on after I pop in the SD card and how long do I hold the power button before I give up?
I'm familiar with rooting and flashing phones, I am currently running CM-6.1 on an Evo and a Hero without any problems. Before that I messed with everything from the PPC-6601 to the TREO 800W.
try this:

maybe it's like the root sd and you just need to let it run without any on screen indicators. you could pm him and see if he can offer any help.
good luck.
So I've read through everything and when I installed the SDK I had issues with my PC and getting the drivers to load. I didn't install them and went straight to flashing it, so no matter which guide I followed the driver install failed.
I'm now on a Mac and I'm installing the SDK. Any advice on how to take me from step #11 and on.? I can't seem to be able to find the Windows button fo some reason.
hi -- assuming you still need help, this CWR bootable SD saved me many times.
download this file (I think you may already have it)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2248236/froyo-eMMC-0.2.img
so open terminal in your mac and insert the microSD card into an sdcardreader or adapter. If you want to be extra safe open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder in Applications and erase the SD card.
then in terminal:
$ diskutil list
(figure out which /dev/disk# is the sd card)
$ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk#
$ dd if=/path/to/that/img/file/froyo-eMMC-0.2.img of=/dev/disk# bs=1m
(then wait an inordinate amount of time when terminal won't tell you anything and you think it is not doing anything... for it to image the sd card)
when it is done, it will tell you XXXXXX files in 0 files out
remove that SD from your computer and put it back in -- it should show up in finder as "Boot" and check to make sure a "restore to 1.0.1 zip" is on it -- if not, let me know, and I'll link you that file as well. You can just copy over that zip to the newly imaged SD card if it isn't there.
once you've got that SD card imaged with the complete-restore-1.0.1.zip on it as well, make sure your nook is unplugged and powered off -- I assume, just hold down the power button for like 10 seconds just to be safe. Put the microSD into the microSD slot and plug the nook into the computer -- that tells it to boot from SD.
you should enter Clockworkrecovery at which point you need to navigate the program with the vol up vol down power and home buttons (power is back, home is select) and go to the mount option and reformat system, then data, then boot. It always freezes on me after reformatting boot, so just power off and back on and it should return to CWM. Then go through the steps to flash that recovery zip that is on the sd card! Make sure you select "select zip from SD card" and you should be good to go.
good luck.
I received the color nook a couple of days ago, got the home wifi connected, registered to B&N, updated to 1.1, rooted it easily with autonooter and added some apps. All good. But I decided I needed to delete some apps, and couldnt do so without a file management system of sorts. So, I followed the directions on this youtube
(I also used this guy's work for the root) and all went according to plan. Until I rebooted and tried to register. I am stuck on the reregister, it spins and spins and goes nowhere. My computer wont recognise it as a nook, let alone a drive so I cant even sideload the update. My wifi is fine. I have rebooted with the 8 times method many many times. Nada.
I did see elsewhere that when unrooting you should unroot first, and then deregister and wipe clean. This is the opposite of what the youtube said to do. I see on the postings that several others have had the same problem but huskermania has not responded. hellpppp
So it's not re-registering? I've never experienced that. You for sure haven't bricked it, as it got that far.
Try this:
1) Download the 128mb bootable CWR. (http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/cwm_128mb.tar.gz)
(Credit: thecubed)
2) Burn it to a 2GB+ card using Win32DiskImager.
(Disk imager download: http://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/0.1/0.1/+download/win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.1-r15-win32.zip )
3) Download the stock 1.1.0 firmware here: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/nookcolor-support-software-update/379002520/?cds2Pid=35758#2
4) Drag the .zip you downloaded from B&N onto the SD card.
5) Turn off the Nook
6) Insert the SD Card
7) Turn on the Nook. It should boot into recovery automatically.
8) Install from .zip
9) Select the stock 1.1.0 firmware.
After it is done installing, remove the SD from the Nook and reboot. You should now be in stock 1.1.0. (And able to register.)
Oh gosh, after five hours of frustration, this fixed it!
the nook devs came to my rescue, I cant post links yet as I am a newbie!
Thankyou thankyou thankyou!
huskermania, your rooting the nook youtube was brilliant, but I see lots of others had this problem using the unroot youtube. I will post the fixit on that too, I am not allowed to post it here until I am an oldie.
What did they tell you to do? How did you fix it?

Download the image
Install Winimage
Run winimage as admin
Go to Disk->Restore virtual disk image
Select your micro SD card reader
Select the downloaded image
wait
Turn off nook color(hold pwr button, it may take 20+ seconds)
Insert newly imaged micro SD card
Turn nook on
Go to mounts and storage
Format system/data/boot (it may lockup after formating the boot partition it's Ok just hard reset it)
Now go to flash zip from SD card
Select from SD card
It should flash stock 1.1.0 onto your nook
Once done remove micro SD card and reboot.
That should get you to an 'out of the box' state.
Good luck. Hope this works out for ya.

Didn't even see that. =P Avoids having to go to 1.0.1 and then updating to 1.1.0
I have been a little stressed by all this, I spent three hours last night trying to fix it, and then another two this morning. The bottom line was doing this:
1. With the NOOKcolor powered off hold down the n button (home) and Power Button until the NOOKcolor powers on.
2. You will be prompted with a Factory Reset dialog.
Press POWER key to Exit
Press HOME key to continue
3. Press n button (home).
4. You will be prompted to confirm.
Press POWER key to Exit
Press HOME key to continue
5. Press n button (home).
6. A Clearing Data dialog will show. NOOKcolor will reboot automatically once complete.
I was thinking that I could use your method woot, and was about to do this when it all came good using the method. I love the root, and will do it again. I have no idea what went wrong for me, and a few others by the looks.
Thankyou once again both of you, and maybe my thread might help others. I had done so many google searches, 8 turn offs, etc etc and nothing would do it for me.
How do you get it to boot from the SD card when the power button isn't doing it? I can push on the power button all day long and nothing at all is happening.
Edit: Never mind, it suddenly decided that it wanted to work. I think I might have a faulty power button.
Hi, PLZ HELP ME! i just have run the Hard-SPL v1 on my xperia x1, and it was all fine, but then, i Used the KovskyAdvancedRUU (Task29 mode) in order to fix broken sectors of internal memory, and the process ended OK... but my X1 have restarted, and now,i dont go further than de "Sony Ericcson" screen when i shut it on.... If i go to the BOOT screen, It just stay in the "colours" screen.. (I have the Micro SD whit the ROM named kovsimg in my device.... so, PLEASE HELP! im kind of newie....
ALso, i just have formated the Micro SD card into FAT32, and have the room in the root...
You have done all things correctly until now.
1. Can you check your ROM name at your PC whether is 'kovsimg.nbh' or 'kovsimg.nbh.nbh'? (Correct name should be only one .nbh) I guess you renamed it to double .nbh already.
2. After confirm the ROM name is correct, remove the battery and insert memory card.
3. Put back the battery then press the volume button down, and power button together and HOLD BOTH BUTTONS UNTIL TRI COLOUR SCREEN APPEAR
4. If your ROM name is correct then it should start installation.
Hope this works for you..
HAve done it like 4 times... i checked and everything was allright... i tried with 3 different micro sd and nothing happened.... At the end, i just bored of triyng with the micro sd, and installed the rom with the cellphone connected to the pc (using the RUU kovsky)... but still dont know what goes wrong with the SD....
have you pull out the usb cable from pc when in the boot screen (after you finished perform task29)?
