Cooked roms with minisdhc - P3600 Software Upgrading

Since it doesn't seem HTC wants to give us a ROM update, I'm thinking of flashing my p3600. I have some questions:
-What are the roms that support minisdhc? To me this is more important than wm6, I don't even care about wm6, but I really need the 4Gb the minisd can provide?
-How well would a backup process work (like spb backup). I understand they say it doesn't work with rom upgrades but has anyone tried it? I have tons of programs and it would take me days to install everything again.
-What are the best roms?
Thank you.

it could be that it's a hardware issue rather then a software issue
with sdhc
many sd card readers for pc also dont support sdhc

micro SDhc 4gb
my friends, i have a 4 Gb microSDhc and its works fine
SanDisk with an adaptator for mini SD
with faman 3.3 rom

Well I bought a sdhc card and tried it on my p3600 and it works, with the original HTC ROM so I didn't need the upgrade.

Will O2 mini S act strange if i use 2GB mini sd?

Hey guys iam planning to buy 2gb mini sd , my question is wheather mini s will act strange if i use it currently iam using 512mb (its very uncomfortable to use).
So guys pls say me will it slow my ppc or it will be normal like now (with 512mb).
Im using a 2 gb mini sd in my qtek 9100 right now without problems.
No, it works fine, I manage 3 Wizards all of which have 2GB miniSD cards. They sometimes won't detect but I find this is an issue with the port rather than the card. You just need to re-insert it multiple times.

@ THE GURUS: flash wm5 ROM from SD?

Dear gurus,
I have 2 Blue Angels here at my office, which were bought at the same time. One of them has been through many WM5 ROM upgrades without any problem whatsoever, and only now, with the recent advancements (esp. conection Sharing), the other user is willing to do the 'leap of faith'
Strangely, his machine has been behaving consistently bad when trying to upgrade using the cradle, although it syncs without problem.
Thus I'd like to try to back up the WM5 ROM from my BA and flash it using the SD card on his device.
Is it possible?
Instructions are welcome.

Thanks Joe for raising the question. I will not have access to my PC for sometime and flashing from an SD card sounds great.
Thanks in advance,

SD Card Flash Error

Hey guys,
I'm having trouble flashing a new OS on my X1i.
I had to RMA my phone at the start of january due to a display screen failure. Sony Ericsson, a month later, told me that they had not recieved my phone yet and wanted proof that i sent it. After some running around between them and canada post they finally said "our bad" fixed the phone and sent it back to me.
Finally after 2 months, i had my X1i. Alas, i sent them an english OS phone and they sent me back a German OS phone. I called them back and they said they would "escalate" the call and i should expect someone to call me back within 24 hours. Its been 4 days and i havent got a call back. I longer want to deal with them and have decided that voiding my warranty by changing the ROM is no longer a concern.
I downloaded the HardSPL from this thread and installed it
/showthread.php?t=431218
Apologies for not providing a direct link, but new users cant post links due to spam issues
Now my bootloader reads:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.OliNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
Then i downloaded the English Rom from this thread
/showthread.php?t=475482
APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R2AA010
i renamed the file to
Kovsimg.nbh
Then i formatted my 4gb SD Card with FAT32
then copied the Kovsimg.nbh file to the root folder
then i turned my phone off, unplugged everything from it, inserted my SD Card into the phone and started up the boot loader
however i get an error message saying "no image found"
i tried the process again but with the filename in all lowercase. this did not work either
what am i doing wrong?
Can anyone point me to in the correct direction?
Is there another easier way to do this?
I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Ravi
Re:
Hello all,
I did some more reading on the SD method and it turned out i was using the incorrect type of MicroSD card.
I was using a SDHC card before and it was not reading the card correctly. When i switched to my other MicroSD card it worked fine.
Thanks to everyone who was kind enough to spend time getting all of this information together in one place so i could avoid another support call
Cheers
Ravi
There's nothing wrong with using MicroSDHC to flash phones, it's just that some MicroSDHC chip can't be detected by the SPL program.
Although some old phones really can't flash using MicroSDHC, but Xperia doesn't have any problem with flashing using MicroSDHC.
Previously I was using Kingston 16GB MicroSDHC and the "no image found" problem occurs.
But when I switch to Team Group 16GB MicroSDHC, the "no image found" problem doesn't occur anymore.
Yup, it's usually an incompatible or bad SD card that prevents an SD flash.
By the way, if you just want to flash a stock ROM, you don't need to hard-spl your phone. The stock SPL will work. But since you already have hard spl, have fun trying out the custom ROMs! It's the same procedure you did when you flashed the English ROM. Try them out and you won't regret it.
re:
@Tom: Yep, i have a kingston SD card too! it must be that kingson is one of the ones that doesnt work
There's almost a sense of information overload in the roms forum. I'm trying to read up on it and get a handle on all everything but i definately will try. Worse come to worse, and i break my phone, will i always be able to load up the bootloader and flash back to the stock ROM?

Isn't that I stated in the SD flash thread that kingston is known for problem.
I had different 16G SDHC and no issue so far for flashing.
Since you already break the cage and HardSPL, isn't that a good time to try cooked rom as well. ;p
haha! that must have been where i got the idea of trying the other SD card and i just forgot i read it. Thanks for posting it.
I've got Touch 10 Extreme Blue downloaded. gonna throw that on over the weekend and see what its like.
But overall i'm glad i got my phone working again.
Oh and i finally got a call back from Sony Ericsson Escalations. The girl that spoke me to said that the place i got my phone from timtechs.com must have got a german phone and flashed it to english and then sold it to me and that act itsef would void the warranty. And then went on to say that i dont have a choice and i will have to simply use it(in german) or sell it to someone else.
So yeah, screw the warranty, its worthless anyway lol

Help!!! I can't get past bootloader screen and out of ideas

Ok I am having the same issues. I tried to install HDWall cab on the latest march 9th energyrom with WM6.5.5 and Sense 2.5. It prompted me to restart so I did and ever since I tried rebooting it, its stuck on the bootloader. tried to hard reset a bunch of times and just goes back to bootloader. Took battery out a bunch of times. Tried to flash back to AT&T stock ROM via USB. Flash went to 100% and then when it tries to restart after flash, back to bootloader. Ran mtty1_1_.42_538 on PC and then tried to reflash to energyrom and still stuck on bootloader. The weird thing is when I try to flash via USB it the current Rom image is blank. Oh and also I attached an image of what mtty1_1_.42_538 shows when running the application. Please help chefs!!! You chefs are the brains!

I am not a chef but at this point I would do an SD flash of my favorite ROM.
Hope that helps.
I would if I could flash from a 16gb micro SD. That is the only card I have. I have read you can't flash with any card over 2GB. Don't know if its true because I don't have any other card. Card is formatted through my pc. Please help!
Something got messed up between installing HDWallpaper cab and the soft reset after.

it doesnt hurt to try
i'm using an 8GB card and I can flash from SD with no prob
I can't flash from the microSD. I formatted FAT32 through the PC and tried putting a couple different NBH files (stock Roms and custom Roms) and neither my old fuze or my Tilt 2 read it. I don't know if it is because it is a MicroSDHC 2 card. Anybody???
For some reason my fuze and Tilt 2 will not read the card in bootloader. I'm thinking I might have a hardware issue but would like to keep plugging away at possible solutions it might be... The phone is only 2 months old so I'm questioning whether it is a software or hardware issue
In case anybody was wondering, my bootloader reads as follows:
RHOD300 32M SS-BC
SPL-0.85.OliNex
MicroP(LED) 0x0A
MicroP(KEY) 0x04
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
522, 535 815, 860
812, 211 226, 210
232, 860 Calibrated
At the bottom of the screen it will show the USB when plugged into the PC and Serial when unplugged like it should
Possible fix
Format your card again but in 16bit.
Copy the ROM image you wish to burn to the root of the card.
Make sure it is named RHODIMG.nbh and nothing else.
Before trying to burn this rom, I would actually burn HardSPL again to your phone.
Then insert card and see if it will reburn your rom.
I am using a 16GB card in my TP2 without problems, but found I actually had less problems by formatting it to 16bit. And any access to the card was actually faster than formatting it in 32bit.
Hope this helps
I will try that tonight when I get home. Any other ideas until then?

I think it's not a matter of capacity so much as a matter of brand. If your 16GB is from eBay you might well have a defect/reject card. I have a 4GB A-Data from Newegg that I only use for flashing. Never saw any problem with it.

It seems the read can not be read in two devices. That sounds like a defective card. Get your self a 2GB (non HC) card from a reliable source (maybe BestBuy) and keep it just for flashing.
I had this same problem I solved it check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=638825
Tried everything on the thread and still no go. Called HTC and sending it in to get fixed.

Does tiadroid9 fully work ?
Also i tried installing tiadroid8, but it doesn't work, it keeps repeating a message after i launched haret. Just to be sure, you flash the updata-T8.zip in recovery right ?

Have you formated right your sd or not for tiadtoid8 .Yap tiadroid9 is fully working but is ext3 format so one fat32 partition and 3 ext3 partition one name system 200mb one other data 500mb and one other cache 250mb
yes true that it says chrisg4! to be able to flash rom android on the SD card, before you should have already partitioned SD card FAT32 and EXT3. use Minitool Partition Wizard to partition your SD card, after that placing all android rom file on the SD card (FAT32)
