Hi,
I have received my device today, and have flashed Hard-SPL already. Now I want to flash some cooked roms. This works just fine by using the CustomRUU (or the RUU provided with the rom), but is there also a way to flash without a RUU?
By entering the SPL there comes up a text "No Image file!", so I think the SPL is looking for any image files. I have tried to put them on a formatted SDHC card, but that didn't worked.
Is there some more magic I have to know about, or how can I flash a rom, without any kind of RUU.
Best regards

well.....
with the diamond you drop your file on to internal storage (4gb)
enter bootloader and away you go.....hope this helps
Where on the internal storage do I have to put it, and must it carry any special name?
use file explorer
or with pc .....active sync phone
and open phone via pc and you should find it that way.

I don't think that putting a 100MB file on my device via Active Sync is the right way ... .
well
thats how we have to do it on the diamond..... our roms are 60-90mg
good luck
just get rid of file once flashed ok
Ok, I have a solution: You have to format the card, and then put the nbh file on the card, while naming it "BLANCIMG.nbh".
Works just fine and is faster than through a RUU.
Just rename rom file to BLACIMG.NBH and put in fresh formated microSD card. Insert card in phone and start bootloader mode. Flashing will start, it's more faster and secure
indeed: BLACIMG.nbh in the root of the SD!
faster, safer: but you'll have to reboot your telephone by opening the battery cover, quite inconvenient if you do it many times per day...
Whats wrong with using an RUU? When I had my kaiser I used it all the time.
^^^ You're right mate
Hi
I want to ask any one success to flash HD from SD, what is the type of the SD included with your HD, and did you reformat it, or using another SDHC card to flash HD, and did any one can flash HD with Transcend 8GB ?
I get my HD with Transcend 8GB SDHC Class 4 and can't flash HD from it, I get "No Image Found" message
I format the card again Fat32 and try it but the same error
I try my old 2GB microsd and can flash HD but with Transcend 8GB can't
there is many report about this problem without any solution, any help
thx
For me it works just fine with the included SanDisk 8GB, but my 4GB Transcend doesn't work neither, so maybe its a Transcend thing .

Yeah, I looked it up once again, I have a SanDisk 8 GB microSDHC Class 2 (or at least there is a 2 in the right upper corner).

Class 6 does not work either
I have ADATA 8GB Class 6 MicroSD - does not work.
Sandisk 8GB Class 2 MicroSD - works.
Could be related to speed - not manufacturer...

Think if you read that thread you'll realise that SanDisk does work, its Transcend sd card which doesn't (according to thread). SanDisk worked fine for me. Possible solution is to format SD Card to Fat32. Even if your SD Card already is Fat 32, try formatting it again.
Hello everyone!
This might be a noob question, but I just couldn't find the solution to it. I recently got my hands on an Xperia X8, upgraded to 2.1 stock. After a week or so i stumbled upon this website and discovered all the custom ROM goodies. So yesterday I had some time to dive into the ocean of custom ROMs.
I rooted my phone, got xrecovery up and running, made a backup of my stock 2.1 and then installed GingerDX v004. I have to say it worked like a charm... until i found out that GingerDX says that there's no SD card in the device.
The odd thing is that xrecovery and the backup 2.1 system all see the SD card properly. In GingerDX's Storage menu all the SD card stuff is greyed out except Erase all data which doesn't work. Tapping it says all data erased, but when I hook it up with my computer, everything is there on the card.
I've tried the following without any improvement:
1. Restoring old 2.1 system - reads the SD card correctly
2. Full wipe, battery wipe, reinstalling GingerDX - no change
3. Formatting the SD card, putting it back in - no change
4. Rebooting GingerDX without SD card and putting it in while the system is up - no change
5. Rebooting with SD card, taking out the card while the system is on - no change - except for the fact that it states "SD card removed" in the notification bar. If I reinsert the card, the "SD card removed" message does not disappear, so basically nothing happens.
So could anyone give me an advice on what to do next? I'd like to take my chances before going out and buying a new card ...
Thank you in advance!
Maybe it's a bug in v004. Try installing v005. It's up now.

Thanks for the advice, but it doesn't work. Not even v005 sees my SD card
Maybe your card is corrupted.

That may be, although I find it strange that it works with my card reader (PC) and 2.1 also recognizes it. I'll try another custom ROM (FroyoBread maybe) and another card.
Until then I thank every bit of advice!
EDIT:
I've found another person with the exact same problem, which leads me to believe the problem is related to GingerDX
EDIT#2
I've just installed FroyoBread v23b and it handles my SD card like a charm. So the problem is related to GingerDX. I hope it doixanh manages to fix it soon.
SD card issue solved!
After many tries I've been able to solve my SD card mystery.
Looking back the solution is quite simple, it appears that Gingerbread doesn't like an SD card below Class 4. My card was Class 2.
So I went out and grabbed a Class 10 SD card and voila it works.

i guess its 4 and below, i have a 4gb c4 card and have the same problem... now i'm off to buy a new card...
Make a ext3 partition
SD Card
Had the same problem with GDX. Went back to Froyobread, and now it's MiniCM7, working like a charm. Maybe is GDX and SD Card class...
Maybe it's a bug (or feature) with sdhc cards that requires a certain speed to work. The stock 2GB sd card that came with the phone works fine..

I'm sorry to dig up an old thread, but i've EXACTLY the same problem.
The included 2 gigabyte sdcard and a sandisk class 4 8gb works, however my 4gig card isn't recognized properly (in v0017 my 2gig card isn't recognized too)
Tried every Gingerdx build, and LinuxDX v004 with the new sd card compatibility fix doesn't help.
I looked up with Logcat and it seems that the sdcard goes from "No media" -> "Pending" - and then it suddenly stops, no "idle-Unmounted", no "Checking" and no "Mounted".
The Recovery-systems (both, cwm 3 & 5) of the FXP Kernel has the same Problem, even the included sdcard aren't properly mounted (i can view files, but after i select one it says "Can't mount [Path]" and then the sdcard unmounted, or it is always ).
I have two X8s and the 4gig sdcard doesn't work on both with gingerdx 17, or fxp recovery.
But it looks like it's not gingerbread or CM7 related. Minicm2.0.7 works fine.
Maybe you had china no-name card. I've that and I've the same problem in gingerdx, ginger crutz and gingerxperia v10 (in v9 it's working fine) and CWM 4.0.1.5 recovery.
I have a same problem, 16G > 10Class sdcard(China), MiniCM7 work fine.
I'm sorry i'm having the same problem as well but my sd card is not chinese, are you sure this problem is due to SD card origin??? also where can you know which class your sd card is?
[SOLVED] SD card disappeared in GingerDX
I'm new here and english is not my mother tongue so forgive my errors...
I had the same problem and I had to uninstall GingerDx because without my SD-Card my whole life was a lie...
So... I installed the 023b (I think it's called like this, but I don't know) and I had the same f***ing problem...
What I did:
FIRST OF ALL!!! DO A BACKUP OF THE SD FILES ON YOUR COMPUTER!!!!
-Reboot phone in ClockworkMod
-mounts and storage
-format /sdcard
(BACK)
-Advanced
-Partition SD card
-ext4
-1024MB (1GB LOL)
-IDK but I pressed 256M [maybe you should leave a comment about wich size is better (0, 32, 64, 128 or 256)]
-wipe data/factory reset (try first to skip this)
-reboot system now
When you set up the phone it will say to format the SD. Accept and that's it!!
It's working!! (for the moment)
Thanks! If I said something wrong or you can help more with that problem comment please!!!
(Ai apologise four mai bad englix)
Ok so i bought this verbatim microSD 16gb class4...at first it worked fine on my xperia x8...but today it just decided to not be located at all...
On my pc the card is working properly with the card reader and i tried another sd on my x8, and it worked too..but the 16gb still wont be located...i tried everything from formating it to reboot etc...i tried the 16gb one on a x10mini but no luck either...
any recommendations?
oh and the shop said that they cant do anything cause this maybe my fault
Please help...
I had the same problem with 8gb class 4.
I did like what you did.
Finally it didn't work, I returnd it back to the store.
What I understood is: class 4 sd cards are not working on our x8.
because I asked the guys here and they were answering that they have a working sd cards on x8 but with classes like 2,8,10 not 4!

1Fawwaz thnx for your reply
but i could use it for about 2-3 days...and the same happened with an 8gb card but i dont remember of what class..
any ideas anyone?
[UPDATE]
After many experiments i found out that my card was working with thsd card adapter that SE provided once...the one that is like a usb stick...but with a MicroSD to SD adapter,my card wont be located by my pc...
[UPDATE 2]
The card is working fine on my sony ericsson yari.
also i read through the forum that others are using class 4 and its fine..so i cant see why mine wont work...come on guys..you have fixed far more complicated issues...

If the adapter you refer to is really a mSD to SD adapter then your PC would do the right thing(TM). To read a mSD you need a MicroSD to SDHC (<--!!!!) adapter.
SD, SDHC and SDXC are three totally different standards not really compatible to each other.

Then there you have your confirmation that the card is actually working.
If the X8 and X10 is refusing the card, then you may have hit a incompatibility (EDIT: that's why it is important to either straighten it out with the dealership that you can return the card in case it doesn't work or that you can try the card right there in front of the eyes of the shop dude). The only way would be to swap the card with one of another brand (like Kingston or SanDisk ... I wouldn't buy Verbatim crap).
In theory the X8 should be able to accept mSD's up to 32GB.

True, I used a 8GB Kingston Class 4 mSD with my X8 - worked flawlessly.
thnx for your reply..
my card was working in the begining..so im not sure if this is really an incompatibility...

Question is ...
- If you're running a custom ROM ... you tried another one?
- If you're running Stock ... you tried a custom ROM?
Also ... try putting the card into a _working_ mSD adapter and ERASE the partition that's on it. Then "Safely remove" the card reader / card from your PC and put the EMPTY (unpartitioned) card back into the phone. From there you have two options you can try ...
1. Try to partition and format (FAT32) the card in ClockworkMod recovery and see if it works now.
2. Boot up Android and format the card through Android (I think it's "Memory and Storage" in "Settings")
I tried with both stock and GingerDX...same result...im going to try this and post reply in some minutes..
nothing....i tried to partition with CWM..no luck....
I partitioned it with Partition Wizard..no luck again...
pfff...why it just denies to locate it?i was working just fine :S
I take CWM actually recognized the card even at its correct size.
The last thing you can do now is to look through logcat to see if the log holds any hints about why the card isn't recognized/mounted.
You better do that through adb as it's a medium pain in the rear to do that in the Terminal Emulator on the phone.
If you find something that could be related to the issue at hand post it here; maybe the error message carries something that would give a clue.
hi all ,when i 1st used a rom (any rom )there must be a friggin ton of problem ..so when i updated to GDX v21 i expected trouble, so yes it's a little buggy but i fixed / the problem just went away ..so theres just one problem which is a true , but then this problem is just presistant and i can't fix it ...=( so heres's the problem , the sd(8GB class 10 ) in my phone will say it's damage please format , so i did , but then the whole phone restarts without fixing the problem , so i tried 2 more sd card a 2gb class 6 and a 8gb class 10(?) micro SD card they all started fine but then it encountered the same problem , i faced this problem a week ago and i cant fix it , yesterday the memory was abler to be read and then today it says SD card error again.WTF??? i tried factory reset but it's still there use CWM and wipe dalvik and battery stats , no resolve i cant flash cause my sd card is dead , imma using PCC to flash my phone later but is it cause of SD card problem or isit my phone sd card reader is buggy?

-problem -SD card unable to read (says SD card is damaged) tried 3 diff sd card but all same
-well maybe a little off topic but my DSP manager seems to lags the phone badly when i turn on equalizer for speaker
Is your sd card kingston? I have the same problem, and found out that there is a compatibility problem with kingston 8gb.
SE claims to have solved it with an update but this is for stock rom users. So not me. I don't know if anything can be done and if any of our fantastic (slurp slurp) developers could help.

Not able to confirm again ...
There's a 8GB Kingston Class 4 in my X8 which is working perfectly fine since the last 7 months (GDX v021 on Stock Kernel).
However, as there's been another one posting about SD card problems who also has a Class 10 mSD ... I would rather say the phone seems to have a problem with Class 10 Micro SD cards ... given my Class 4 and some Class 6 (if you search the X8 section) work flawlessly.

so i tried 2 more sd card a 2gb class 6 and a 8gb class 10(?)
Click to expand...

The 2GB Class 6 _should_ work, given we have some posts around where people use a Class 6 mSD successfully.
But, as I said above, I would be cautious with Class 10 mSD's as there not only yours which gives trouble.
for some reason my phone is a magnet for trouble ...
I spoke to the guy that sold me the card and he told me to go by the store and try with either a kingston 8gb class 4 or an apacer 16gb class10 (that's what he has in store). I guess i'll try the kingston but i'll be away for a week so I'll have answers next week.

Same here mate. Perhaps we shouls start a club.
haha yea...we are really poor souls =(
damn it i tried my sister's sd card ( just to confirm my problem ) i connect it to pc and all is fine ...then i click turn off usb storage and it says blank sd card ...i guess i cant confirm it's the hardware problem
Just as a related note now that I checked back...
The other guy who had about the same SD card problems was using a Verbatim 16GB Class 4. Seems as the X8/W8 is somewhat picky when it comes to the brand (manufacturer) of a SD card and the related class.
As I wrote in that post - either try the card in your phone right there in the shop (if the clerk agrees to it) or strike a deal that you can return the card in case you have severe troubles due to compatibility issues.
as always thanks BJ! you helped me so many times! so yeah i called my dad to send it to the repairman but i doubt it's the sd card problem since the other 2 i tried also failed to read ...it could initially until i restart the phone or connect it to usb then it will get the warning..i suspect its the hardware problem

u r making a partition by which way? if u made it ext2 so rest of them will be available as a sd memory and other memory reserve for apps. install link2sd that will show u if u r in GDX install root browser and find sdext u will know everything
I think everyones know about this mounting problem for sg i9000 user since update to JB..it would be great for those never had this problem since upgrade to jb but not for me having this problem..currently,i'm using kingston 16gb class 10 sd card on my i9000.i don't know this could happen because after upgrade to jb,my sd card showing blank sd card on notification bar and not supported something like that.i try to format it through my phone also doesn't work.i've been try other methods to solved it including partition my sd card but,result is still the same:crying:.and today i try to use my other sd card kingston 8gb class 4 and it working on my phone..i don't know why this could happen to my 16gb class 10 which more standard than 8gb class 4..anyones can help me to solved this?plz...
nope, i also got da problem recently, dont know da cause but changing sd was da method, as for me, any 16gb any class (tried 15 different sd with same value) but dont detect on phone, change to any 8gb or 32gb, working perfectly, tried adb, usb debug, partitioning (pc n cwm), formatting n lastly hit it with hammer , n still not detecting on fone. try any option available on xda n even LvL format not working. so i decide to buy a new 32gb for my fone.

Thanks anyway for ur advise and suggestion..for me,i believe our developers will solved this problem matter how.this cannot be because of the value of memory card i think,just like what u said try with different class.because when i was on ics before,my sd card working without any problem.the problem is maybe the android system for this model smartphone.or could this happen because of my memory card still on r/w protection?huh...i'm still looking for this solution.i won't waste my money again to buy new sd card.
