Hey , i used to know a lot about the xperia, roms, flashing, but after flashing roms for a very long while, i forgot a lot.
So, this may be a bad question but, how would i flash my stock rom?
When i do so, and go into bootloader mode, it says "No Image File"....
what did i do wrong, and what must i do? im pretty sure i renamed the rom to "kovsimg.nbh".
are you using Kingston memory card.
if so it wont boot from card, flash using PC method.
Peoples (including me) reported to have problem with Kingston card.
Also make sure you image name is KOVSIMG.nbh on the card (re-name it if you have to)
Mod edit: not dev related, moved to general
is your problem already solved with the help you received or does it still persist?
thoughts...
take a backup of things stored in memory card, format it and then paste in it kovsimg.nbh
or maybe the downloaded file is corrupt?
btw I always use nbh with small letters and not caps and never had an issue...

After all of my other problems... HardSPL is finally on correctly and I checked.
I have Kovsimg.nbh on my FAT 32 microSDHC card. I got to bootloader, saw OliNex whatever. It goes to loading. Then "Image not found!"
Had this problem before with official ROMs as well... Had to use SEUS.
What the hell is the problem with this?
My USB port has been unreliable so far, so I dont want to chance using CustomRUU (I dont know how to use it anyway).

Custom RUU is easy. Just leave your phone on and plugged into the USB. Make sure you have the image file renamed to RUU_signed.nbh. Start Custom RUU. Follow the steps in Custom RUU. And Voila! It turns the phone into the Boot Loader automatically and you can watch the progress on your monitor. I use it all the time. I don't like to copy everything off my SD card onto the HDD and I don't have a spare SD card to leave the SD card blank with only the image file.
You don't have to copy everything off your sd card, just put Kovsimg.nbh in the root of your card and everything is good to go.
Copy your .nbh file to the root of your sd card and rename it to Kovsimg.nbh.
Boot phone with holding : vol down + power keys until the color screen appears.
it should find the image now, else use ruu on a friends pc.
remember to active sync first...
regards
I dont have a Kingston card, but maybe I'll try using my Corsair 512mb microSD later today.
My main problem with CustomRUU is that the USB connection to my phone isnt stable. What would happen if it suddenly DC'd?
EDIT: Ahah, so using my Corsair card instead of my A-Data card works.

You have had problems with the USB Connection to your X1 before? Then dont flash via USB / Custom RUU. Thats really too risky then.
It first flashes the Bootsector and a few other things, then begins with the OS parts. If the connection is cancelled while flashing the Bootsector etc. you may get some serious problems as your device wont boot anymore (search for putty btw. if this happens to you).
When there is an Error while the OS is updating you can flash again. I had this once with a non-clear sdcard that the installation did not go over 99%. A reflash with a clear card worked without problems.
I've read it can be done on other phones is it posible to do on a cdma diamond, i found this on ppc geeks
Here's what I did:
Hard Reset Phone
Download Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037.exe and SSPLManual_Raphael.zip
Transfer Raphael_CDMA... to an empty folder on the desktop of your VM
Run Raphael_CDMA (but don't use it)
Now look in the above folder and find RUU_Signed.nbh and move to the root of your SD card
Use a file utility on your phone to rename RUU_Signed.nbh to RAPHIMG.nbh
Put SSPLManual on your SD card and run the program
It should now flash your SPL
To test boot into bootloader and it should say 0.37.CMONEX
Delete RAPHIMG.nbh
Now to flash a custom ROM download one and find the file RUU_Signed.nbh... move it to the root of the SD card... rename it to RAPHIMG.nbh (using the phone) and enter the bootloader (hold power, volume down, and push the reset button)... it should now flash the ROM
Hope this helps... I know it can be frustrating when you don't want to screw anything up!
does anyone know if the files for diamond exist?
just download the spl/rom woteva, rename the .nbh file to diamimg.nbh copy it to the root of ur internal storage, hold vol down & back while pressing the reset button ( i think, mite be ok instead of back i cant remember) lol when prompted press the power button to flash the image, it should work the same way with hspl
Guys just be careful here. I believe that flashing the HARD SPL can or should only be done via PC.
Flashing ROMs/Radios can be done the SD memory way as you described above.
Enjoy!

That's is exactly right!
Happy Flashing!
See... this is how people screw their phones up.
You're in the CDMA Diamond section.
Either you're posting in the wrong section, or you have a Verizon Diamond. None of the other CDMA Diamonds have SD slots. Now, the VZW Diamond hasn't been unlocked yet, so any Hard SPL or custom ROM, or whatever that you might find, isn't for your device. You will brick your phone.
Now, again.... you may just be posting in the wrong forum, or you may be saying SD, when you really mean Internal Storage, but for what you actually typed, nothing good can come from trying to flash anything, from SD or otherwise.
i posted here because infact i do have a cdma diamond. i mean the internal storage, sorry for any confusion there may have been.
but the internal storage behaves jus as in sd card would,

Might have a dead/faulty sdcard slot,old parts tend to fail.
ok what you have to do now is download this program called paragon partition manager jus google it n it should be the first link., after downloading the manager open it n locate ur sd card (also u do need a sd card adapter so make sure u have the one tht came with the phone or any onther in this case.,) after u have located the card patition it., to do this u have to choice how much space u want for ur ext 2 ., i choice about 300 to 350mb range leaving me with about 3.6gb left for my personal use., after u choice the amount u want for ur ext 2 start the partition it should be a few mintues., after tht put the memory card into ur phone check if it works., i did this same procedure n worked jus fine for me., hope this helps you out., if not post back the problem.,
jibbz
any reason why a second thread (both created by you, on the same topic) is nessicary???
i gave you a few specific instructions last time....
first, repartition the card (using paragon, or a ubuntu live CD) if it doesnt work then you
can try a fresh format on another SD card... if niether work then you just have a faulty slot (assuming you are on a stable/Stock rom that you know works)
and YES FASTBOOT can recognize a card while the rest of the phone wont(personal experience), dont ask me to explain it, but if you had even read my last post in your other thread youd have know that......
your G1 is probaly just old.... get over it.... it was always intended as a Beta/Dev device....
and you HAVE been reported for spamming the forum with multiple threads on the same topic (in the wrong section this time no less)..... and dont ***** and whine about no-one checking the q-a sections.... it cuz fsck-balls like you spam useless ****
MOD EDIT - Please abide by forum rules and only post a query once. No need for duplicate threads. I have deleted previous thread

Hi, im a new user, and i tried to instal custom rom by watching video guide of installing a custom rom, and i followed it very carfully. However, once i got to the part where i pasted the nbh file from my pc to my storage card. removed the usb cable. turned off my phone and then got to the tri color bootloader screen it says " no image file found" can someone help me please?
Which ROM you tried to flash??
for sd-method to work, the img-file needs to be named "kovsimg.nbh" (without the ""), otherwise bootloader won't recognize it. make sure it's named that way and check if you're able to see file-extensions (if not it could be "kovsimg.nbh.nbh").
I try to flash Dynamics_GTX_2.2.0_WWE rom when I failed I tried to flash 6.5_V4.0F because I thought maybe something is wrong with Dynamics rom or maybe I do something wrong. I instaled 0.78.OliNex Hard-SPL. I change rom name to kovsimg.nbh but it still write that "No image gile"
P.S. Sorry for my bad english
Maybe you need to reformat your SD card to FAT32 again, after that put the kovsimg.nbh to the SD card and try again, I face this problem before but after I reformat the SD card, it works..

THANK YOU it helped
Glad to hear that, now have fun with your custom ROM.
please helpwhen i run haret.exe the following message appears" the file haret cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. if the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
Use another Haret from other ROM.
I have the same problem for my Rhod100. Even installing the .cab file doesn't work. This problem is since this morning. I copied the file for many time and from different people but nothing is working.

Yeah I can confirm that your have a bad SD card. I had this kind of SD card before too and it was much more cheaper than original. All the files that you had copied to SD card will be corrupted, that's mean you cannot open it or play it. Then you also cannot make partitions on your SD card as well, am I right?
The only way to solve this problem is BUY A NEW SD CARD
Well i don't think that is the problem because it worked untill 21th of september. But maybe i will format the micro sd card (after i copied all of the files to my hard disk). Maybe that will work, I will try it.
Edit: I just tried to format the Micro SDHC card (It is an Micro SDHC) but it didn't made a difference, I still get the same error. I could gamble to buy a new micro sdhc card but what if that wouldn't make a difference too?
If you dare to try your luck for gambling, then why don't you try your luck to buy a new SD card?
minitool does not show all the partitons
i think jerrytan93 is right as whenever i try to make partition from mini tool then after making the partition the minitool does not show all the partitons, it shows only the fat 32 partition (with full memory).
but when i formatted the card again on my pc using windows then i was able to upload files on my sd card and also excess them with my mobile, that means my sd card is not bad.
but again i can't make partitions so what is the matter, i don't understand
I saw someone (forgot his name) in this forum said that there was some brand's SD card which are unable to make partition. So looks like you are the unlucky one
I've experience the same problem before.
Maybe the problem is ;
1. If you use Winmo Roms that have an OverClock setting like Dynamic rom, jus turn the OC setting off.
2. Maybe you have a bad SD card, try reformating it.
are u have overclocking on ur x1?
With GTX Dynamics ROM, i see Overclocking at Settings/System.
But 826x hasn't it. Where do i can find it?
Try other..
Energy ROM, at first try, it can run haret.exe <-- from Sensedroid..
Running perfectly..

The Dynamic roms has the OC setting. U can turn it on or off.
I really don't know the Mhz after OC and before OC.
well, It might be the overclocking problem as others mentioned as I've had the same problem cuz Haret doesn't work with Overclocked roms ... also, I'm kind of new, so I'm not sure about the next tip but it worked for me ...
I went into the startup file next to the Haret and I changed the value from to 614 instead of the higher num cuz some of the Android roms are highly overclocked .... so, by lowering it, it might work ... it took me like 2 hours to find this solution but I'm not sure if it will work
