to much to ask?

i along with several other noobs would like to try the newest roms but,everything is lzx. through sd card i have reformatted and everything else one would need to do. is it to much to ask to get some .nbh files upload if it is too much work just let me know i will understand just want to try out all these new rom that are helping keep this wing alive...... p.s that cab. file fix for opera mobile has that worked for anyone? it didnt for me... thanks in advance

Okay, so what are you saying? You formatted your SD card and it doesn't work or something? Did you format it as FAT32 under Windows? Did you rename the file to HERAIMG.nbh? Did you press and hold the camera button? Im thinking that you didn't.

If you're trying to flash through sd, and it's not working, you either missed something or did something wrong, period.

LOL
I can;t take you seriously with the smoking obama

You Must Be HardSPL First! See Here
1. Download the ROM you want to Flash
2. Rename the _______.nbh to HERAIMG.nbh ( ____ being whatever it was named first )
3. Format your sd card in FAT32 ( can't be sdhc, smaller cards work better )
- you can format your sd with a card reader on your computer
- or you can find resco explorer and format it on your phone
- if either doesn't work skip this step and see what happens
4. Place the HERAIMG.nbh onto your hopefully reformatted sd card. ( keep it in the root directory don't put it in a folder)
5. Make sure your phone is off and your sd card is in
6. Press and hold the power button and while holding it press and hold the camera button
7. When asked to press a button press down on the volume strip.
8. you'll get a progress bar leave it alone until there's only a gradient screen ( around 5min) then restart.
If for some reason this doesn't work, start back at step one and try again.
If for some reason the second time doesn't work get a cheap sd card and try with that one.

State and Market, that's a classy part of town lol. Rents cheap though. Yeah not much to do here, at least I got xda
What do you mean by get internet through activesync? Like still be able to connect to edge on your phone or do you mean internet sharing or something?

the internet pass through, where you connect to your computer with activesync and your phone shares the computers internet connection.

...at first i was a little confused, but i think i know what your saying
using the phones internet on your computer right?
if thats the case you want "internet sharing" you can get it somewheres here or thewingster.com
i use internet sharing on my comp from time to time, but tmobiles GPRS is just sooo slow, if you really need internet go for it

Yeah it's like dial-up slow, but it does work in a pinch. But if you're wanting to use your PC's internet connection for your phone, I couldn't find much. There's something like that for Symbian, but not really windows mobile.

I blame the SD card and the education system... SD card could not be hard spl worthy or something, try a different card I say 2 gb or less, SDHC cards don't work for some reason

Yeah definitely 2GB OR LESS, NOT SDHC. Everyone that puts up directions to flash seems to keep forgetting to note that part.

the only thing that i havent tried nor have i seen anything about is the step... to turn phone off, then hold power botton while pressing camera botton.i will try that.. thanks for the info i didnt mean to come off like a ass..my bad

hey guys i covered that in my steps give me some credit.
and about the passthrough. i have a dash and when you connect to the computer my dash uses my computers internet, im wondering why i can;t do that with my wing?

the thing is i have a 2g sd card now i have heard of the term "partioning" a portion of your sd card for flashing.does anyone have steps for it? thats what i might need and if that doesnt work i'll just wait for the next signed_ruu file through active sync.

You can try to partition your SD and have part of it FAT or NTFS and the other FAT32 for flashing purposes, but I would not recommend it. Just do this, connect your SD card to your PC some way, copy everything on it to your desktop, then format the card to FAT32 and install as normal. If you partition your card I do not know wether the bootloader of the phone is smart enough to search for a FAT32 partition or if it expects the entire sd:/ disk to be FAT32.

I've never tried partitioning. I always use a 2gb Kingston and format the entire card to FAT32, and I've never had any issues flashing. That is the method I recommend.

dumb me or computer

OK im tired of looking i am trying to load a new rom but coming into some wierd issues and cant seem to find a solution i do a wipe then do a fat32/ext3/swap format right from my boot loader screen. then pull my battery pull my memory card stick into my computer. but here is where the problem starts my computer says the card isnt formatted and wants to reformat but with no partions. i have been hunting for sometime now and cant seem to figuire it out. please help i know this is probaly easy for most but i have no clue.

Have you tried another sd card? Is your card reader locked(SD card reader)? Do you have any FAT32 memory on the sd card?

i am trying a new memory card right now, my card reader isn't locked and i don't believe there is any fat32 memory left on it.

What recovery image are you using? Some of them will allow you to mount the sd card whilst in your phone as it is in recovery mode (home+power). If you have one that allows you to do that you can format the card and just plug your phone in to the computer and transfer what you need that way.

Well thanks for your great input. How could i have gone on so long without your guidance. i love people like you who get all high and mighty on their computers and think cause some one isn't so knowledgeable as you are that they shouldn't really be in an area that you coincide. Well i sure hope there may not be some matter of your life where i might be able to actually help you cause my good will and natural wanting to help my fellow man,might inspire you to either look at yourself and wanna change for the best or go jump off a bridge cause you realize that you may never change.

Thanks i haven't tried that and honestly i couldn't tell you which recovery image i have. I had someone root my phone for me cause i didn't feel i was up for the task.

This is the last time I'll ever try to help you out.
Get off your "bill gayes is god" box and accept that you need to use the RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB.
MS is OPENLY HOSTILE to everything that is NOT MS.
And you are trying to make a filesystem layout that is a hybrid of MS and NOT-MS.
It asks you to format filesystems because it is DESIGNED TO DESTROY EVERYTHING that is NOT MS.
The solution: Don't use MS!!!

fine all hostility aside. then why does it work when using two other windows based xp running computers? there has to be something other than its windows. Correct me if im wrong but aren't all computer systems based of linex code one way or another?

What's a "linex"?
(I know, that was a typo... linux.)
But AAAAHHH, holy crap! There sure shouldn't be.
Note: The answer is that there is TONS of linux in Windoze.... Including big long branches of code stolen verbatim. It is totally illegal and is a strict violation of the GPL license protecting the linux source code.
Once in a while we get PROOF that MS has stolen linux code... and it results in a complicated set of denials, but ultimately MS is forced to comply with the GPL license in these cases.

Flashing not over SD (eg via USB)

i just received my G1, well 1.6 was installed, but: No WLAN, No SD, No Bluetooth and no File-Transfer with Win7 x64. So i'm thinking of a flash, but how?
I wanted to get diagnostics mode, but what is the capture-key?
any other possibilities to rescue this device? (I think, the SD-Card driver was somehow deleted. Tried a software-Wipe, but it didn't help.
I hope someone can help me.
Thx in advance.

Well thats sorta like asking to get into a box sealed off with ducktape using the mailbox=p. You are going to need an sdcard so you can root it. Find any microsdcard and load up rc29, root it, then flash some custom firmware on top. If you don't have an sdcard, then you can't set up root therefore no new roms. The only thing that would work without an sdcard is ADB, but you need root to do something meaningful like pushing an app, etc..

I got similar problem.. My SD card slot seems to be dead. Android and recovery as well, doesn't see any SD card slot so the SD card can't be mounted. And yes, I've already tried with another card. No luck.
So there's my question that OP already asked: Is there any way to flash update.zip without sdcard?

Short answer: No
Long answer: you can change specific parts of a rom without an sdcard (kernel, apps), but not an entire rom or update.zip.

That's what I thought... Unfortunately. So I guess it's time to buy a Sapphire.

i have a program for windows called android commander. it has the option to flash an update. i dont know if this will help but it might. i found it on XDA somewhere. i just dont remember where.
edit: it also has some other really cool features, like push and pull and copy. great if you want to push an apk to the system/app folder
edit here is the link for download of the of the version that works for me http://androidcommander.cyf.pl/?file_id=1

ok, gonna try that android-commander.
If even a hard-reset doesn't bring up the 3 issues, i think, these are Hardware-Errors. (it COULD also be, that the "drivers" from these parts have been removed/deleted from the rom by the previous owner, but a hard-reset WOULD restore the missing "drivers" or am i wrong? (i have not much knowledge about Linux, i'm more a Windows-Freak.)
I mean is it possible to "remove" parts of the "drivers" from the ROM and the Flash/EEPROM that even after restore the part would still be missing?

Until it's rooted you can't make major firmware/bootloader modifications just by sticking a usb cable into it.

you mean "unless it's rooted", 'cause i think, it's not rooted (how to find out, if it is?)

Turn the phone off, hold down the CAMERA button read off the top four lines.
That will tell you if it is using a custom spl.
Alternatively you could go in the rom and type su in the terminal, that would also show if it's rooted.

the booloader info sais:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.96.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.261
Sep 2 2000

i tried around with the Android-Commander as said before, i also connected the phone but I was not able to copy ANY data to the phone or create any folder anywhere (so not even a custom ringtone or wallpaper), for rooting is a SD-card required, which is not useable due to (maybe) hardware defect, so i ended up the following:
I agreed with the seller to reship the G1 and he refunds my money.
From that short time playing with G1 and Android, i say as conclusion:
Well, the touchscreen works far better than any Windows-Phone, but the Compatibility with Windows is nearly completely missing - and so some for me required aspects of that phone. So i'll just buy another Windows-Device. (i's easier to flash, spl or unlock and you have better and easier possibilites or modifying/customizing your phone.

well if you would have recieved a working phone you might have a different opinion of android. i have used windows mobile as well as blackberry and simbian too. all of them have their good points but i found android to be the easiest to use and to customize(as long as the device works). but good luck

that might be true, but pay more than 150 for a phone, I only use as secondary phone for a few internet/data-activities is, considered the fact, that in 6 weeks, I'm unemployed again, a bit much to ask for, either a complete new phone or a cheap (ie less than 150 bucks) phone, that has wlan, 3g and a hardware-keyboard - rest is irrelevant - that is being used as secondary phone.
Sure, if the G1 would have been fully working, it would have been a nice device (not a replacement to my Xperia, of course, as the G1 has a minus in resolution compared to WVGA), but so is only to note: if you want a cheap Android-Phone, wait another 3-6 months, there are a lot of them coming out and so the elder ones (magic and g1) should go down in price a bit.
Sometimes, prices on ebay drop around 50 bucks within 3 months - checked on that.

[Q] Format 16gb sd card from hd7

Hello, I can't seem to find anything related to this on google or your wonderfull website ( thanks to you folks i was able to root my htc desire and install cyanogenmod, as well as unlock it from the network), any way to the point, I switched network providers because ive had it with telus, long story short, i went to bell and had to get a new phone, so i tried this htc hd7, n i kick myself in the teeth, but im stuck with it now... n now that i can use my desire on any network, i popped my bell sim in and am using that, so, i want to use the 16 gb class 4 sandisk sd card out of the hd7 in my htc desire, windows doesnt recognize it, nor does kubuntu, and nor does the format utility windows comes with, the format fails... and of course the phone wont read it or format it through recovery or in OS, ive also tried a program called low level format tool, it sees it, but results in multiple errors when formatting, any thoughts?

you need a Nokia phone to format it. The SD card is locked.

Does it need to be a specific model? The only nokia device i have is an air card for my laptop and theres no memory card settings, i think i have a couple buddies that own nokia phones though, damn windows phail 7

You must have not looked on Google very hard:
"format WP7 SD card"

Actually, thats the first thing i searched, which is also how i discovered the low level format utility, you can have absolute faith i've searched anything i could think of and explored multiple options that i could think of, including a kodak easy share c183 (fairly new digital camera) and multiple sd card recovery applications designed for digital cameras, ive tried using linux and both windows/linux OS disks, im thinking, now that the bootloader has been exploited for the the hd7, if i can port either kubuntu mobile or some third party android build to it, i would gain access to the card, then mess around with that, but theres gotta be some way i can format this bugger. ive also come across the thread that includes using the nokia phone, but i dont have one. this is the only other thing i could find besides the llft, is there anyone else out there that has wanted to use there 16 gigger out of the hd7 for some other device after upgrading to a 32gb card? i have skimmed these forums as well and turned up nothing

well i just came across this post and aim on the same boat... i have 4 16g and going crazy i will hate to see this 4 16 sd go to trash... just cause mocosoft have play bad with us.....
ps just like guitarjunkie i have try all i can think-off

well im going to render this question unasnwerable i think for the time being, until we can find an application that works, if there wll ever be such a time, i will keep posted if i find one, thank you almostinsane for your time and input about the nokia phone, and to my boys from microsoft, blast you all, creators of wp7 to eternal damnation! @#$%&*(random curse words) power to the linux community!

Hmmm my friend formatted his memory, but no longer has the software that he did that with... =\
Try this:
http://www.pendriveapps.com/format-fat32-larger-than-32gb/
If it failed try:
http://tokiwa.qee.jp/EN/Fat32Formatter/
Try the whole re-initialization thing...
If both failed, try to find something else which can destroy the partition table for the memory, then rebuild it using Disk Manager.

got device replaced how to use prev sd card

ok so my wife had to call t-moble and get a replacement she dont want to lose her stuff. i tried to simply place the old sd in the replacent..
that was a fail. looked on here all i see is how to use a 32bit sd. she dont want any unlocks or custom roms or bigger sd.
i will look around some more hopefully i find something or someone can point me to the right direction.. thanks...happy wife happt life lol

The idea is the same.
Use the disassembly/assembly guides available to upgrade the uSD card to 32GB, but just switch the uSD out for the one you want to use out of your old phone.

Lane Anderson: FAIL!!!!
You can't use your old card because it's locked.
The password was applied to it by the OS, your only choice is to format it with a nokia device and then use any software that can recover from sd cards, the password is not a hardware lock, just software lock.
The card has a file system similar(almost) to FAT, so maybe you can get all back, BUT you'll have to sort the names because of the structure used by the WP7.
Good Luck!

^^^ And there you have it. Sorry, bud.
