How to dump the content of a SD card to an image file...

Dear all,
I dumped the OS, Extended ROM and Radio firmware to a SD card and
flashed succesfully other devices with it. Now I would like to be able to safe the contents of this SD card to an image file to be able to use my SD card again for other purposes...
I tried w/o any success the OSImageTool from the XDA-Tools, it does
not seem to recognize the image on the card. Nevertheless, it flashes fine to another device....
Is the structure of a QTEK9090 dump completely different so it's not recognized by the OSImageTool ? Is there another tool available for
this ? Or any other way to make a complete dump of the raw SD content ?
TIA,
Willem.

Use this tool to read/write to SD card
* I don't remember from where I download this tools

you can use ntrw ( posted above ) or psdwrite.
the structure is very different from the one used by the wallaby/xda1/osimagetool.
xda2(himalaya), xda3(blueangel), jam(magician), sp3(typhoon), and probably other new models too. all use a similar format,
you can use sdtool to extract the contents of an sdcard.

Is it possible to save the dead device with fine bootloader and even booting mix of ROMS?
Details of this are written here. What exactly should I download and perform?

I have live Qtek 9090 with bootloader version 2.06 can I use it to perform backup/restore procedure with dead VPA III with 2.07 bootloader?

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

Thanx dude. M through now

hi , are you don , if so install this rom, the best

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

[Q] problem in flashing new rom from the SD

Dear all,
I have downloaded and run the hard_spl on my Xperia X1 and flashed the rom ROM successfully, and I have downloaded the 28244 sencity energyrom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562935 and copied it on the root of my SD.
when I enter the bootloader screen to flash from the SD I get the message
" No image file! "
I have followed the instructions and made sure that the image is on the root of the SD and made sure the image name is KOVSIMG.nbh as instructed.
please advice.
thanks and regards,

Solved.
the SD format must be FAT32 in order to flash.
special thanks to all the XDA developers who made the roms and the guids happens.

Would have been wise to read a bit more about the µSD flashing method - glad you finally found it yourself.

You must put the file in the root of the storage card not in the folder..
and did u already tasks 29 your device..??
i suggest u use the 826x rom and use spl 0.78, because its most stable and has a good batery life...
this was the link that u can download the Rom.. http://www.826x.blogspot.com/

I open storage card and put that .nbh file in it and not in any file inside storage card.I didnt task29 before HARDspl.

and you can see the file in your file manager?
sometimes I experienced something like that and couldn't find the file on my sd, strange but true, I had to recopy and then it worked

rename the .nbh file to "kovsimg.nbh" place to sd card root.. turn off your phone.. then holdown the volume down key.. press the power botton together.. it will be a bootloader screean.. and notify u to upgrade...

[Q] Need help for instal custom rom

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..
