my problem with installing a ROM

so i repartitioned my sdcard with a 96mb linux-swap...ok no problem
but when i try to put the ROM in the root of the sdcard through my card reader windows xp wont let me...
all it does is ask if i want to format my card
my girls notebook and newer pc will let me...why cant i get mine to?
is there a fix for this?
ive had to dl the ROM to my original sdcard that came with my g1 and after it boots swap to my 2gb card
any help would be appreciated...thanks!

You could do this a few ways. You could download the ROM directly to the phone via the browser, then move the downloaded zip from "download" folder, to the root of your SD with any file browser app. Or, you could push via ADB. Also, make sure that you did infact format the card properly. Maybe you don't have a FAT32 partition.

i usually have reformatted my card every time i install a new ROM so i do have a fat32...
just got adb up and running on my pc so i may have to see about working with that
im more curious as to why my pc wont let me...but hey...whatever works! lol!
guess its time for some more research in the forums!

No image file !

hello all ! i have a problem with my xperia x1 . when i try to update my xperia to wm 6.5 , it shows No image file ! any help please,

Happens to me if i try flash from MicroSD.
If i try flash with an 8GB Samsung (Class 6) card, i get that error.
If i use my 1GB MicroSD card with the .IMG file, it flashes fine.
I always use the USB method though, flashes perfectly all the time

try formatting your microsd card as a FAT or FAT32 file system.
before placing the img onto your card.

I've this problem to!
I tryed usb method! When all done, my MS 8GB died!
=/

i format my micro sd in fat 32 , it's work , but it's shows "loading" and he stop there ! what i must to do ?? please ? excuse 4 my bad english

Maybe is problem with .nbh file. Some error during download. Try to download it again and than flash new file.

Try to do with Rom Update Utility!

I had the same problem too!! :O
SO I used the software one.... via USB... it worked... but I would like if all I need is the SD card... So that it can work on it's own...
I feel like a serious problem might happen and brick the phone... lol

rename (ruu_signed.nbh) to (Kovsimg.nbh)

So, here is how to flash new ROM with SD card :
0. Make HardSPL on device
1. Download ROM you want
2. Format SD card in PC with FAT32
3. Copy .nbh file on root of your EMPTY SD card
4. Rename .nbh file on card. It MUST be Kovsimg.nbh
5. Turn off your device and put SD card in. (it woud be good if battery is >50% full)
6. Press and hold Vol down and Power key until you see 3 color screen. Than release keys
7. Follow on screen instructions
8. After flashing is over, HARD RESET device.
9. After hard reset, SOFT RESET
Voila, enjoy your new ROM!
(steps 7 and 8 are here to be sure that every thing is in it's place)
(Take NO responsibility for bricked device )

U just use Check Disk Local in PC scaning micro sd whit connect USB (remember tick: Automaticcally fix file....) > OK

reformat ur card with fat32 and choose the largest available file allocation unit size when you format (it should be 32k....)

GenYBoot Android SD card problem

Hi,
Had been running throught the internet but can't find an answer. I have GenYBoot installed and Android 2.2.1 running from Internal storage of my HTC Touch Diamond. I have a problem with SD-card in Android which ... does not exist. If I want to save something it says that there is no SD-card - please insert the card. Device desen't see any additional storage than own memory (<200MB). There is no need to say it's anoying as it doesn't allow me even to download ringtones....
Could you advise please?
Thanks,
Andrew.

Solution
Just a simple trick
I don know what rom ur using, but i had da same prob
Jus delete every single file in the 4gb storage first, then put ur android files fresh ther and start the haret file from file explorer. This should do da trick, it did it for me.

Alright first download this HP FORMAT TOOL
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,64963-order,4/description.html
second, copy all the contents from your INTERNAL SD only card onto your desktop
third, run the tool and choose between quick format [works for me all the time] or full format. Once done re-copy all your files back on the INTERNAL

Strange Sd card problem

Whenever i Install an gingerbread or cm7 Rom 2.3.7 on my x8,
after it the sd card in the phone is protected against writing, only reading.
The phone dont see the SD card anymore , and on my pc it see the card in my cardreader but i cant copy and paste things from it.
When i directly connect the phone with the sd card in it to my pc via usb, the pc dont see the sd card also.
Then when i flash back to the original Rom, the SD card is back normal like writing and reading and my phone sees the card.
Also i can Copy and paste like normal.
When i flash to froyo pro 24 (2.2.9 android) the phone also see the card like normal.
Looks to me something in 2.3 android versions mess with my SD card and set it on read only...
Does someone know what this could be?
Thnx in advance,
Henk

what sd card do you have? did you try format it?

It is the standard 4gb card that was in the box from the x8.
I install the roms via this sdcard.
I also formatted it but that did not solve the problem.
there is no ''lock''on the card, and after i flash it back to the original stock rom with flashtool it shows the card with no write or read protection.
In android 1.6 ,2.1 and 2.2 till version 2.2.9 i dont have the sd card issues.
I checked mini cm shakira,
herodroid
gx stock
prime hd and 2 other roms based on android 2.3.
Some i reinstalled and full wiped after the installation but that made no difference.
(offcourse i always full wipe/factory before installing the Roms )
In''storage settings it always say:
-total space
unavailable
-Available space
unavailable
-mount Sd card
Insert a sd card for mounting
-erase Sd card
erases all data on the phone Sd card such as music and photos.
(This is the only option that is highlighted and usable, and it erases only files when i tested it, it dont format the card)
I also tried to unlock the read only protection to place the mini sd card in the cardreader but i can't find an option to unlock that protection.
It only shows the files on the card but i cant copy and paste something.
(Both in windows7 and windows xp)
Some of them are on Stock kernel and the mini cm7 on an naa kernel.
(problem with the naa kernel was that i could not update the fix after flashing the rom in xrecovery,
since right after the flash from my sd card to mm7 my sdcard was on read only and write protected........had to reinstall the stock version by flashtool again and install xrecovery again and busybox,rooting, to start after with the flashing of custom roms again.
All of them did something with the sd card that it is read only when i place it in my sd card reader on pc ,and its not visible on the phone.
With some roms i can access the sd card via cwm or xrecovery to flash an rom zip but sometimes it says it cant mount''e'',
which is my sd card.
After i flashed my phone back to stock rom via flashtool, the sd card is visible again on the phone and not read or write protected.
Also on froyo pro 24(android 2.2) i dont have this sd card problem.
Could it be that there is some kind of driver for my sd card so that my phone reconize the sd card?
I really don't know what this issue could be and im stucked on 2.2 now.

you're using 2nd ext partition?
if yes, trying to solve it and boot via cwm and format it using partition sdcard (advance > partition sdcard) you need to backup your data first
if not using 2nd ext partition, try format using this http://hard-disk-low-level-format-tool.software.informer.com/ but i'm not test it yet

maybe u must check and repair your sdcard
1. try with another sdcard
2. make sure if your sdcard format is FAT
or
3. backup your sdcard data to your pc, then format it!
it must be work

Your idea doesnt work

Maybe the ROM doesnt have the necessary drivers. Any idea on how to install them?

Go to following directory via a root explorer app:
Root/system /bin
Find this file:
Fsck_msdos
Delete & Replace with froyopro's disk checker.(same file in froyopro rom)
Yes,this is the file which scan & fix ur sdcard For errors in startup.
This must help u.

5) i looked for the cooked rom i put on the external sd drive....
.....BUT when i look for it the phone doesnt see the external sd so im stuck here i cant load the cooked rom cause i cant see the external sd,perhaps i dont follow all the steps?????
please give me some help here im stuck since 4 days now!
P.S: the sd card works fine,im sure about it and the firmware version of the phone is 2.2.1 file is I9000XXJVE

Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

thanks guys but i dont follow your help!
i downloaded aroma.zip installed in the internal memory of the phone launched it from the recovery menu but this sw is all mess up and i cant work with it!
i would like to know if i can install cooked rom from the internal memory of the phone,i guess not cause if i do so the phone will just hang up cause i can share the rom and the installation space right?
since im quite sure i cant use the internal memory of the phone i can only use the external sd card to install the cooked rom but it looks like u are telling me that i have no hopes to use the external sd card to install the rom so....what am i supposed to do?i cant use the internal memory,i cant use the external sd card so....what am i supposed to use???????????????????????????
thanks again!

I am not even sure why you made the assumption that you can't use the internal memory in the first place. The internal SD as it is sometimes referred to is separate from the OS. Case in point, factory restoring your phone will not wipe your internal memory.
So just use the internal memory.
