Does this work for HTC HD7?
Hi,
The above commetn says downgrade bootloader.. my HD7 doesnt have SD card slot. does it still unlock my phone if I follow the instructons.. n what abt SD card.??
Sorry but...
IDIOT!!!
You didn't read the tutorial enough, the SD card or micro sd if for the Y-Cable.
You place the ROM in the card, put the card in the reader, then put the reader in the cable.
just remember the card must be converted into a gold card.
then you can proceed to flash.
Important note: for better results use a 1GB card, I tried several times with a 2GB and it was a fiasco(it never started), once I used the 1GB card, BOOM! flashed in less that 5 minutes.
why do u need Y usb cable?

You still don't get it don't you? Read the tutorial

Thanks for the info
err, u dont need a sd card though.
u can just flash it from the computer.
xorphan, as imatrix said, you don't actually need an SD card to upgrade. I thought what you thought too - probably because you read the documentation. It does suggest that you need one but I can tell you that I've just done mine without it.
Have fun
you can't flash on the computer with a 4gig SD in the slot
Hey guys, i've got a 8gb Apacer card. I've installed successfully the HardSPL (it shows Olinex's name), i've downloaded Smaberg's latest rom, which is already renamed. I'm taking off the battery and then putting it back, i'm pressing the volume down key and at the same time the power button. It takes me to the 3 color screen but it stays stuck to "Serial" which is written down on the 3 color screen.
Am i doing something wrong?
Bill
Which is the filesystem of your SD Card?
Have you renamed the ROM with this name: kovsimg.nbh?

I formatted it with FAT32,
Yup ROM is already renamed to kovsimg.nbh
Can't understand why it stucks to 3 color screen when it says down to the screen "Serial".
U not press volume down long enough
start again
I pressed it for 3 minutes and still stucks to serial screen.
Is the nbh file at the SDcard root?
Yeah it is. I have some other files too at sd root, does it messing up the things?

Just did it but no luck, still the same issue!
I've had the same problem. Formatted my 2Gb a dozen of timeswith my laptop and it didn't function. Finally I formatted the card with another PC at the office and now everything works as planned.
So, not every format is the same??
Just tried to flash a rom with another SD 2gb and worked fine!
What the heck is going on with my devilish 8gb card...the card is working great but no flashing...maybe i'll have to find another computer too to format it.
Kingston card does not support card flash. I do not know why

Are you sure of you???
Because I have a Kingston 8Gb SDHC card and I use it for flashing my phone with SDcard method when I can't flash it with my PC...
Where is your original 8gb card guys? Did you change it for a reason?
Sorry but the 8GB is not included with every Xperia, at least not in every country.
My german operator send it without sd card, I had to buy my own one.
So I think this may differ from country to country or provider.
I had the same problem, could not flash it with SD card method, tried it via PC (USB), also no success and tried it again with SD method and tried it for like 10-15 times and then all of a sudden it worked.
I tried putting hard-spl on there again, while I knew it was on there already, even this did not work and started working after some tries and then I was able to do the SD method.
I have a sandisk 8GB mem card, so it's probably not brand related..
We have the Kovsimg.nbh, how do we create the ROMUpdateUtility.exe?
Hello guys,
After this huge problem i've got http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517752 (i can't flash any rom with the 8GB card) and we couldn't find a solution, i'm asking if there is a way to convert the Kosvimg.nbh file to ROMUpdateUtility.exe file so i can flash the ROMs through the PC?
Looking forward to heard the good news! It's too pitty everyday to read about these new ROMs and i can't flash them!
Cheers,
Bill

Just put the ROMUpdateUtility and the NBH file in the same folder and run it, it will flash whatever NBH file is in the same folder as it. If you need the RUU exe, just extract it from a shipped ROM using WinRar. Or use this Custom RUU : http://rapidshare.com/files/164933503/X1_CustomRUU.zip

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!
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
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,
please help me solve this little issue. I need to read the original microSD card inserted in my HTC HD7. Unfortunately my phone broke down and it doesn't start. I hope that my data is still on the card but if I put it simply in the USB card reader my computer see the reader but not the card. I suppose that I need some program to read it.
THX for help

Hi, i am stuck with this phone on WP7.1, the matter is that i need to change the ROM because T-Mobile ROM does not have this language.
I have read the tutorials how to downgrade the SPL and ROM form asnar and by goldcard method, but none of them are working, i have made everything as the tutorial say here in forum but i can not downgrade this device.
Every time i try by goldcard method after booting into usb host mode(volume down + camera + power) i get the screen loading...
After this the phone goes it a reboot loop and keeps showing usb host mode, then loading... screen and then reboot again
This are the details of my HD7:
OS : 7.10.8107.79
FW : 2250.21.51202.531
Radio : 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Bootloader : 5.12.2250.0 (135916)
I have tried to flash with this files :
RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_5.10.401.04_SLSPL_Signed_by_ansar
RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.18.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_22.31.50.09_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE
RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_3.01.531.02_Radio_5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE
RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.69.401.01_Radio_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE
But i keep on the reboot loop
Hope you can help me to solve this matter
Thanks in advance

When the device goes to "Loading" and then gets stuck in a boot loop, that means that is started to read the file but then failed.
The most common cause of this are -
1. The SD card reader. Try a different card reader. Make sure that it's not a multi card reader as these seem to have the most problems.
I tried 3 different card readers before my flash/downgrade was successful and have heard of others trying 5 or more different card readers before it worked.
2. If the SD card reader uses a USB cable (like a standard PC printer USB cable) try a different USB cable to connect from the SD card reader to the Y cable.
3. Try switching around the connections on the Y cable between the SD card reader and the phone.
4. Sometimes the camera button will get stuck pushed in when entering USB host mode and prevent the device from flashing.
Try the above and see if it will work for you... I'm pretty sure it's the SD card reader though.
Since it's a T-Mobile device I would also recommend using a T-Mobile Pre-NoDo/NoDo rom to avoid any errors and if you need to return to stock for any reason you have it.
This is a good rom to use, I used it to downgrade my device and the 5.65 radio that is included with it, seems to have better reception and battery life..at least for my device.

Don't forget to use a 1GB sdcard because 2GB gives some problems with the goldcard method...
I have a TMobile like yours and the goldcard made it possible.
