Sd card flashing method don't work

hi all , i've tried to flash my trinity (s300) by wmdc under vista 64 but don't work ,also with trinity guides instructions ,( error 260)
So i have tried with Active sync under XP proS2 but don't work too ,same error
And then i have tried Sd card method described on wiki ,but when i put the phone into bootloader it doesn't read TRINIMG.nbh
So i need your help , why i can't upgrade ?
is SDHC card causing this problem ?
Before i was enable to upgrade my phone ,my actual rom is Shap's
Help me please

please close this thread ,
Solution found ,thanks

1. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
2. Rename the .NBH file to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card.
3. With miniSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (hold Power button on right side and Camera button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom).
4. You should see the screen pictured on the left, confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.
5. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
6. When flashing completes soft-reset your device.
If not work
copy all file too SD
Run enterbootload
work 100%
First Unlock your CID

doesn't work

Non SDHC. Formatted to FAT32 as a post in the forums said. I've tried Sandisk and transcend since someone mentioned transcend has issues.
It can read the card from the OS, but it doesn't leave the bootloader.

*** Flash X1 without PC - Micro SD Method ***

This is useful if you load a bad image and cannot make an activesync connection for RUU flashing method.
This method works for any 6.1 and 6.5, and even radio rom.
*** Some Kingston brand may have problem to use SD method, no solution other than use RUU method ***
0. Make sure x1 is hard-spl first
1. Make sure yr micro-sd is formatted w/ fat-32
2. rename the image file (normally "ruu_signed.nbh") to Kovsimg.nbh, copy that to the micro-sd, and put that it yr X1
3. Make sure X1 is disconnect to your PC to avoid goes to serial mode (AC power source is OK)
4. Bring x1 to boot-loader mode by turning off the x1 completely. Hold the "volume down" button on the right, and hold the power on button until you see the tri-color screen.
5. Then follow the on-screen instruction

Thx, always using this system.

Sticked this one!

This could be a problem with you're ROM language.
My xperia was english, so had no problem. 2 Dutch xperia's had this problem.
Just flashed SPL first, then flashed the english rom. And now the sd card method works on the 2 dutch xperia's.

I also got the same problem when using the rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2392404&postcount=1 but the flash of microSD method ran pretty well with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218&page=6

Does the device automatically reboot after it's installed? I just used this method and the device currently says:
'KOVSIMG.nbh - OK
OS - OK
Update Complete
UPDATE SUCESS'
It hasn't done anything since.

spr33 you take the battery out, put it back in and switch on

I'm having a few problems, I have the HardSPL installed but when i load the rom image on the sd card and reboot the bootloader shows a message of "no image found". Is there something im doing wrong? The sd card is formatted to fat32 and it only has the images on it

I was having the same problem as you, I tried everything finally I just used the kovsky RUU and used the pc update tool with it. it worked great. just make sure you take your sd card out before you do it or it will keep trying to search the card and say no image.

Problem X1 rom chang on english
I can't change rom on my X1 i have formated card on FAT32 my file name is ruu_signed.nbh i chnge the name on "Kovsimg.nbh" my device is set to tri color bar and on the screen i have Loading... and nothing else
can you help me ????

It works, I'm free and thank you
After weeks and weeks aof reading, reading, reading, making copious notes so that I had the process sorted from start to finish, I decided to bite the bullet tonight, yes, New Years Eve (well it is my new X1 after all ).
OliNex Hard SPL worked a charm, then during the micro SD method, the dreaded "no image file" message appears. RATS!
Numerous FAT32 processes, different ROMS and still the same message.
Tried the cable version using RUU and viola, I now sport the fantastic Touch IT v2.2 and NO VODAFONE
I would like to thank the more senior members for their cutting comments to witless noobs that made me read, search and read again.
Also to itje for his great ROM - have only just had a cursory scan so far as only just finihsed synch, and running like a dream. Donation certainly coming your way!
HAPPY NEW YEAR ONE AND ALL at XDA Developers from a very happy revitalised X1 owner!

ROM replacement
Moved original message to correct thread ...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445818&page=42
Has anyone more of an idea why the SD card method is causing so many to come up with the "No image file" message" ?
The USB version works for me, just would like to know the reason for error message - in case need to use it one day

BIG QUESTION:
Why some people can't flash from microSD card ??
I had the same issue
After a lot of trial and error, testing and testing, I arrived to this conclusion:
IMPOSSIBLE TO FLASH WITH microSD METHOD
(Nothing happens, "serial" message or "No image found" message popped up)
a) When I used an incorrect format (other than FAT32) on any brand card
b) With two Kingston cards properly formatted
I have successfuly flashed my X1 with unbranded cards and sandisk cards,
but after many attempts and format variants I NEVER achieved a successful flashing with kingston cards
Interesting...

Hi guys! i tried 2 flash my x1 ending in f***d up device.
I did the following:
1) running the hard_spl. The flashing started and at about 50% it stopped went back to the stripes screen telling me file not found...serial....all the things you guys described in the forum.
2) I created a card with a Kovsimg.nbh and restarted the device. Result was the same: File not found!!! but i did all like in the tutorial.
3) I tried again with hard_spl: First I got an Error 282 then 262. The device changes from stripes to grey screen the bar shows 0% ......thats all.
any suggestions??????????????????

You need to use Boot Camp which comes installed with Leopard in Utilities. However, you must have a separate partition on your hard drive to boot into Windows instead of Leopard OS X. I use a spare hard drive which I putinto my Macbook when I want to flash. The emulation programmes Parallels/VM Ware will not work for flashing, for me anyway.

VMWare does the trick for me with flashing, you sure you got your USB turned on in settings?

will have to say the same - VMware and an XP partition seems to be the only way
i have tried from the SD card but had no success- strange really as i could flash my diamond and kaiser from SD no problem ?

Thanks i'll try it again on next flash. I get the USB connection but USPL/HSPL do nothing when opened. I just get a quick DOS window which then closes immediately and won't stay open to perform it's task.

Really need help !!

Sorry for posting this new thread but it was really important for me to do so.
I have a problem regarding flashing a rom.
I have flashed a lot of roms recently through sd card method but never had a problem.
I flashed ' smabergs ' ' Touch X ' Rom 2day but during the update . it stops at around 80% update.
so i have not been able to move to any rom. or more precisely... My phone hasnt been of any use since then i dont have a spare one.
Please help guys. any help is much appreciated !

hi
take your card out and formated with your computer as fat32 it might be correpted
try gain with SD card method if not
use hard SPL method
Use the computer in tow steps and keep your mobile linked while you do the hard SPL flash and uploading the ROM with RUUtility_Kovsky
1 - Downloads the hard rest program X1_HardSPL_v1from xda and unzip
2 - Download the flash utility RUUtility_Kovsky from xda and unzip
Installation, remove the SD card from your mobile it might be corrupted
To lode the ROM to your mobile in tow steps
1- Flash your mobile with X1_HardSPL_v1click the EXE file this will take less than 5 minutes watch your mobile screen and press yes to add a small ROM
2- Don’t remove your mobile USB
3- IMPORTANT you have to copy the new ROM .nbh inside the ROM utility folder called RUU_Kovsky, select ROMUpdateUtility.exe its located inside the folder RUU_Kovsky and pres the ROMUpdateUtility.exe , and start upload your ROM ,this will take less 10 minutes
Put back your formatted SD card

Thanx
thanx for your help bro. but i still am not able to properly understand your methods.
Please explain them in a little brief and please provide the links for ruu_kovsky
It's a request.

Thanx dude. M through now

hi , are you don , if so install this rom, the best
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509891

most probably:
1- you don't have HARD-SPL correctly flashed
OR
2- the ROM you are flashing is corrupted (bad download or bad decompression or bad copy to the microSD)
PS: with the stock SPL you can still flash STOCK ROMS
WHAT TO DO ??
1- remove the microSD card and insert it into a PC (with an adapter or reader)
2- delete the current kovsimg.nbh file
3- CHECK the microSD for errors (right click -> tools -> scan disk or check disk)
4- COPY A STOCK ROM to the microSD and rename to kovsimg.nbh
5- Insert the microSD back into the phone, go to bootloader and flash
6- ENJOY YOUR PHONE AGAIN

Flashed using the micro sd card..its much safer and faster...
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, Hold volume down and press the reset button, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
