Flash Fail. HELP! - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Ok, I am trying to reflash the motorola droid. Using rsd lite, & 2.2 sbf for the droid.
Everything seems like it's working at first but then it gets to 92% complete.. & then switches to BP bypass. & ends up failing.. when i put the battery in the phone it is immediately in the bootloader & says code corrupt. How do i get it to complete without error?? Also.. can you reflash without a sd card?? or do you have to have it in? Thanks in advance.

I don't think the sdcard or lack of has anything to do with it. But the process can be very finicky.
Are you using a USB hub or connected directly to your PC. What version of RSD Lite are you using?

hi have the same problem, help us

I think you need the SD card in. Can't remember where I read that, though.
Hmm... Poor memory, maybe I'm thinking of a G1.

DREAIMG.nbh does not load...

I am unable to root my G1 at all. I can not get it to load any of the "root" files. It is a PVT board. Everytime I go to load the DREAIMG.nbh, it just does nothing.
Anyone got suggestions? I need to be able to flash the custom roms. It is a T-Mobile model. I have tried multiple SD cards already. I am getting a bit annoyed.
I do a lot of stuff with the Tilt and Android personally. This is seriously baffling me.
Thanks for any help.
try redownloading the img
are the sdcards class 6?
are u getting into bootloader mode correctly (camera + power)
what are you currently running?
more details
Try to use the guide in my sig. Its much quicker
As said above, more details are needed.
Try redownloading the file, and copying it over to the SD card again. If you are using the USB cable that came with the Dream, be aware that every one I've seen does NOT have a ferrite bead on it. This causes problems and can corrupt the file.
If you know how, md5sum the file on your PC and after copying it.
Does any error come up in the bootloader when you try flashing it?
K, I am using a DREA100
I did not use a usb cable (used a sd card reader)
I get "image not found" or something to that nature in the boot loader then it goes to strips.
I have dealt with HTC for a LONG time...I have been doing it since the Apache. I never could get this to work.
Yes I am using Class 6 cards. I do IT development and I need the speed.
I will try the suggested guide.
Thanks for all the help. I didn't realize there was an easier route. Also I was actually going to message you david, but I didn't want to feel like a complete noob haha.Thanks again.

You might want to also check the spelling. It sounds silly, but you'd be surprised, I've done it myself.

I even tried the kit thing, but in the end, nothing beats an easy APK. As I said, I do a lot of work with the kaiser. This was not NEW to me, but the G1 is not known territory for me.

sim-card not found after installing custom rom

Try installing another rom?
if you try out a few roms and they all dont work, then its properly a hardware error.

First time i installed Fear rom i had the same problem. I simply reinserted the sim card after some cleaning, rebooted the phone and it was all fine again

IMHO, first thing to do is check your SD Card. Do you see it under CWR ? Can you plug it into another material ? PC, phone, Camera, Nintendo DS, etc... ?
f you can see it somewhere else, then your flash gone bad. Just flash again.
i dont completely understand what you mean, but i can see my SD Card in my pc, other phone, and in CWR.

AFAIK you need the sync, cuz it gives you drivers, but there's many ways, go click around in my thread and after you get the basics done post back in here. It does sound like your sd card is borked though, if windows won't even format it. Are you s-off? Probably not Can you get to ADB? does it recognize your phone?
WAIT.... you can use recovery? Just grab another sd card and flash from scratch, no RUU, no nand restore, scratch, it should work.
If your s-off try reflash your recovery. If your not s-off then you should be. Then try to reflash your recovery.

Yeah after I posted that I remembered you were actually talking about recovering lost data on an sd, oops.
Just wanted to elaborate a little on this in case anybody searches for help and lands here.
The 'LINKS' thread Duce provided contains a link to an RUU (windows executable) which only requires the Android USB Driver is installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800586
You can download an Android USB Driver package separately.
You can also find the HTC Android USB Driver here (bottom of page).
I have used this many times, even on computers without AndroidSDK installed, just the driver package (I keep a zip on my SDCard ~8 MB).
wouldn't know of a way to fix my sdcard would ya

You might try and boot into a Linux Rescue Disk (i.e. RIPLinuX - (Bootable ISO X-Version))
Search right-click menu for GParted.
Run GParted, delete the partition(s), rebuild partition table, format new partition(s).
All this is done right in the GParted UI, just a few clicks.
This might help fix your problem, not really sure.

[Q] Bootloop after Kernel Flasher use -_-

Hey everyone, after a year of not caring about any mods or hacks for my galaxy s I thought that I should get one problem out of this world.
I am talking about the constantly flashing led buttons...so I stumbled upon BLN control which needed a special kernel, so I downloaded the promoted Kernel Flasher and the .tar file of the manual site of BLN (the site i was linked to via my mobilephone when opening BLN).
That tar file was called something with odin in it (not the "update" version). I used odin back in the days I remember...anyways, while in kernel flasher i inserted that tar file...and the kernel was installed, auto-reboot and since then it restarts on loops. Loads the desktop, checks for sd cards...you can scroll around a bit...then after 8 seconds it gets black and restarts.
I am really desperate here, because my exams are coming up and due to my carelessness I have this nasty problem to solve on top of that. Arghh...
There are some appz with important information in it (like notes), a clear swipe would be the absolute last resort here.
Can I recover my old kernel (didn't backup my old one), or replace/update with a new, working one? Through the recovery menue?
If you'd be so kind to step by step explain how it should be done? and I will cease any modding, hacking after this one. -_-
It is a rooted 2.3.3 Gingerbread kernel, as far as i can remember.
Can you go to download mode ? if so flash the .tar file as pda in odin. MAKE SURE IT'S THE RIGHT KERNEL FOR YOUR DEVICE.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App. i helped? hit the thanks button. Thanks
Thanks for the tip.
This morning I played around with this bootlooping phenomenon a bit and found out, that when I immediately close any wlan or phone signal my phone works normal...just that I cannot phone anyone, or be phoned, or surf the net.
I manually did a backup of all my important files now, phew.
When using backup programs my phone resets immediately too.
Ok, long story short, I got my firmware, kernel info now, so you might be able to tell me which kernel, firmware would be appropriate for me (didn't update for a year now, so I am not on top of the news).
Kernel/file that screwed up my phone:
i9000_jvh_backlightNotification_v3.0_odin.tar
My actual Kernel Version:
2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813 [email protected] #51
Buildnumber:
Gingerbread.XWJVB
I am able to enter the download mode, but which . tar-file should I use in your opinion? What's a good one today?
Ah, I see the light, maybe I once again will be able to phone again.

do you want to use a Samsung stock kernel or do you wanna give a try to Cyanogenmod stable or something like that?
Last time I saw samfirmware sites I saw that 2.3.6 was avaible for Europe...
Well... that's your choice!!!
Will I be able to keep the functionality of BLN, that keeps those led-buttons at the bottom turned off?
With a Samsung Stock-Kernel you will loose the BLN-Feature. You can try flashing another Kernel which has implemented this feature too. I used the SemaphoreKernel which has this feature. (works on all GB-Roms)
If you try Cyanogenmod you will loose BLN too. But Cm has a feature called "LED-Notification" which does the same as BLN does.
So, I downloaded update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip should I go on with this manual? http: //jjpda.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-71-on-i9000.html ?
Or do I have to go back from a root to apply this new one?
Which program do I use on PC, and which one on my phone again? :O
Search in Cyanogenmod wiki for i9000,you will find all the steps to follow..
You need 1st TO root the phone, than install ROM manager, install CWM, place CM7 zip on internal SD, remove SIM And ext. SD,reboot into recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik, flash CM7 zip and reboot.
Don't forget:
-fully charge your phone before starting
-read CM7 wiki page
Hope this might help you.

Well, I did everything the wiki told me to do and here i am with a new rom.
But now my SIM-CARD isn't recognized anymore. I accidently forgot what bedo told me in his last post, and left that card inside while flashing. My bad, i guess.
But what can I do now? I re-flashed, wiped already, with no success, my sim card is still absent in cyanmod. :\

Can you post a screenshot about info of your phone with CM7?
(long press power button and select Screenshot when you are in the info menu )
Here some info for your amusement. Have fun!
Supposed we get to a solution, so I can use my phone for communication purposes again, I wanted to format the internal sd memory of my phone.
Can I just format it, then just leave the flash files on it, to reflash again?
How does that work?
Also, I flashed that googleappz package rom too after the cynomod flash, as I was supposed to by wiki manual.
But I cannot find google maps, android market etc.
I wonder if there is any connection to my initial sim card problem.
But first things first I guess...wanna do some calls :\
Thanks so far for all the good souls trying to help me!
try to flash cm7 radio .
What is the difference exactly? Includes a radio option?
Does it also have the option to turn off the led sensor buttons?
Has it an option to do phone calls too?
PS: I cannot seem to find any cyanmod radio file...hmm

O_O OMG!
Seems no SIM card detected....
Very very strange...
Like the fact that you flash GApps and you can't see market...
Did you wipe cache and Dalvik cache?
+ try this:
"Settings -> Location&Security -> Set up SIM card lock -> Lock SIM card (uncheck)"
I found that in some cases might help.

Take a look here and try with JVK if it works...
I wiped everything possible in recovery mode, flashed that ominous JVC rom, then googleappz. At least now I can shop in the android market. But the sim card still is in the land beyond imagination.
Has my sim card been...bricked?
Which other flash files do you suggest me to try out now? Or should I get me another sim card from the store?
Everything's solved! And the solution was too easy to believe...
Checked the sim card slot more deeply and found out that the sim card wasn't placed in correctly. I seem to have taken it out through the flashing process and in all the "commotion" quickly put it in wrong. Sorry for the big fuzz, everyone.
At least now I got some training with flashing.
So, should I reflash the first cyanmod again?
no you don't need to reflash the rom, cause you already flashed twice plus wiped all possible options...!
I just didn't want to ask you to check if the SIM card was insert properly,
but that would solve your issue faster...!
Enjoy CM7!
Well, I had some time to try out the performance and stability of this mod.
Games definitely are running with a some lag (also reaction time of the sensor to control your game, makes them unplayable).
I tried to uncheck the Cyanmod setting option "Dithering" and "JIT"..also put the cpu settings to "performance".
To be sure I formatted internal SD and external SD.
My phone had some problems finding my external SD, but some guy on the net told to go to Cyanmod settings, applications, use internal memory...and now I use my external SD for everything I guess?
Maybe this is because everything is in slowmo?
Maybe the firstly flashed mod was more...stable?
So, my question would be how to use my internal sd card, maybe it gets faster then?

[Q] Getting harder to mount SD on PC

Was running CM7 for ages, have recently gone back to Official, then upgraded to the Official ICS.
Have noticed over the last 6 months or so, that when plugging the phone into my pc, it has gradually more often than not, stopped giving me the option to mount the sd to the pc. Have tried different cables/different debugging settings, setting different mount options (in ICS), to the point now that I haven't had the option to mount the sd for a number of weeks....
Anyone else having this? Beginning to think it may be a hardware fault...
Thanks.

Beginning to think my hardware is almost shot... Well, bits of it.
Trying to connect the phone to the PC(s), get NO response when plugging USB cable(s) in. No reaction from device manager, etc.
Installed the latest AIO P990 Toolkit, and no recognition when trying to do various things with that.
Camera is also now not working ("camera has stopped unexpectedly, need to restart"...)
Suggestions anyone?
Thanks.
