i have android 1.5 installed, and im trying to follow the directions in this thread (for hero)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533731
when i mount the g1 and right click to format, windows tells me
"there is no disk in f insert a disk and try again" and the g1 "unmounts" itself. i tried it on another vista pc and it did the same thing. i do the format option in the g1 (cupcake option) and then i transfer the rc29 to the root of the sd. i power off, and i power on using the POWER & CAMERA button, but but the screen keep bringing me to a RGB screen that says:
DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.261
what am i doing wrong?
Do you have all required drivers?
Have you tried rebooting your PC?
Am I reading this wrong?
HBOOT-0.95.0000

Try using an adapter instead of mounting the phone itself.
(ie Place the microSD in the SD adapter and format from there)
I hope this is not the same issue i am having with the 1.5 on?

Fender-
What's going on with you? Are you having the same problems?
I am following these instructions to bring my phone back to stock, before I send it in for a replacement (Alt key isn't working):
1. get the original SPL for your phone, go to the SPL thread at the top
2. rename it to update.zip and flash it to your phone
3. download the DREAIMG.nbh from the thread where you rooted your phone
4. place DREAIMG.nbh on the root of your SD card and start phone in bootloader(camera+power)
5. hit power to start the update DO NOT INTERRUPT!! i can not stress this enough
6. hit action(trackball down) and your phone will reboot
7. YOU NOW HAVE STOCK FIRMWARE, it will update on it's own in a little bit
I downloaded G1OrigBootloader_nocheck.zip, copied it to my SD card, renamed it to "update.zip", turned the phone off, powered up holding HOME and POWER and then pressed ALT+W for wipe and then ALT+S to apply the update. So far, so good.
Then I deleted update.zip from the SD card and moved DREAIMG.nbh onto it. I powered off the phone, then pressed the camera button and power. It has the white screen with the blue text "Loading..." and then the screen briefly flashes with "No image file!" before going to the bootloader screen.
Help! I don't know what to do next. Many thanks!
ETA: Should I install the DREAIMG.nbh *before* installing the stock SPL?
ETA 2: I formatted my SD Card just for grins (I could swear I had done that before) and now it's working fine. So. For anyone else who gets the No Image File error, try formatting your SD Card and then transferring files. Also, I re-downloaded the DREAIMG.nbh file so it might've even been that which fixed it. At any rate, I no longer need assistance and I don't know how to delete a post. I'm assuming you can't.
In case anyone else comes across this thread while having this problem...
I had the same problem with my Rhodium. The problem disappeared when I switched from formatting that particular SD card with FAT to FAT32.
So, try FAT32 and see if that helps!

Yup^ android cant read fat partitions.
Also why do you want to unroot?
I was helping a friend unroot for a warranty return and I encountered this problem. While I realized that it was a simple, and some what dumb typograpghical error in my case. Have you checked, and I mean really checked the filename? I realized that I had a space in between the "G" and the "." (DREAIMG .nbh, rather than DREAIMG.nbh) I have the RC29 and RC30 .nbh images backed up on my home computer for just such purposes and I have them labeled accordingly (example: DREAIMG RC29.nbh). So when I went use it, I copied the file, edited the name, and forgot to take the space out. It therefore displayed no image for me as well. Just something simple to check.
hello i am having problems with flashing a custom ROM. I've formatted a micro sd its 2GB. Then I added the ROM file, renamed it to kovsimg.nbh and started the phone as stated (by pressing the vol down button). Then the tri colour screen pops up then a quick screen comes which says no image path I have also... installed the hard spl thingy. Where am I going wrong? Please help !!!all want is reinsstal my xperia x-1 a new windows 6.1 how i can do this plz help my phone is give me this alert SİMCARD NOT İNSERTED'' Plz help me
Do you have press and hold the vol down and the power until the screen show"loading"???
i did bur it says no image ...what i can do?
Says no image??I don't have this problem...so I can't help you,sorry...
Hello you're not alone in the dark
My Xperia do it in the same way. So i hope we will get an answer.
Additional i have problems to use the Internet yet. After receiving a config SMS the applications which are using internetdata didn't get some. The connecting to provider or wifi seem OK but no data for the application.
Provided the card is read, make sure you formatted your card properly with FAT32 and placed renamed ROM file into the ROOT.
It's possible to read the card (after booting the phone). The card is Fat32 fomatted and the imagename is set. But it's not only the problem to flash using the CD-card. Also trying by using the sync-methode will fail. I get the splashscreen with the bar showing the percentage. In the state of 0% i get an error message. No recovery is needed, but i never get the phone flashed.
My problems is exackly the same
If it doesn't work use the USB method, it always works.
Hi VingZTV,
You're wrong please read my post #7 in this thread.
I called it sync method, cause you are using active sync.
cu HAndi
I encountered this problem too. My present X1 (3rd already) refused to hardSPL or do anything with both PC (stucked at 0%, connection errors etc) and SD method ("no image file" later stuck at "loading"). Previous ones worked with either SD or PC method
This time I tried different cables and PCs and couldn't hardSPL
nor was the SD card method working, tried different cards and formatted one to fat32 before putting image file
it seems the problem might be on X1's where SPL is stock 0.78 ?
Anyways for me it worked finally when I tried hardSPL with RUU to 0.52olinex ("X1_HardSPL.exe" file) on a different PC and cable with a formatted card inserted where 0.78olinex was renamed to kovsimg.nbh (so ready to flash hardSPL with SD method which didn't work befere). The phone was set to bootloader by the program and then started flashing the image on the SD! (the program reported error as usual)
phone flashed it once, restarted, did it again and was ready!
Then I had no problem to flash a ROM with SD method normally
So I don't know what could be the reason it worked or it was a coincidence maybe try to:
WARNING: AS ALWAYS YOU DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!
- insert a freshly formatted card with hardSPL file (0.78olinex perhaps) renamed to kovsimg.nbh
- sync with PC and try to hardspl PC way like above and maybe the phone will finally flash the SPL from the SD
- let us know if it worked
It still doesn't work
I used 128m microSD and formated to FAT32, only copy 0.78RUU_Signed.nbh to SD card, renamed to kovsimg.nbh. After I used VOL- and power bottom. It only showed me loading.....
I also tried 0.72, looks same. DID I do some thing wrong?
Thank you very for any response!

Try the way described above by me (leave the card with the image and use X1_HardSPL.exe to try to change SPL and so force phone to bootloader mode)
Btw i cant boot into windows
only freeze at SE logo
Any solution

HardSPL and reflash
Try the way described in my post above if u have probles
Agreed I also tried already with the same method
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
EDIT: I think that these steps are helpful for someone who has same issues.
(A) I fixed SDcard issue.
1. run into FASTBOOT mode (press VOL-UP + POWER in booting)
2. run the following command from PC: % fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
(B) I could not fix USB brick issue. But I can flash RUU to my cell (no ADB connect, S-ON)
1. make gold card (ref. http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard)
2. put RUU into gold card
3. flash RUU via HBOOT
NOTE:
After these steps, USB may be still bricked. You should better use older RUU for getting root
without ADB commands by AndroRoot or others. (I used newest RUU so that I lost root forever. LOL)

ORIGINAL POST:
My Hero has some problems two days ago. I did many things but it still does not work well. How do I fix these problems? Could anyone give me an advice?
ROM: AOSP 2.3.3 (ver04/21/2011) w/ Firerats 1.5.3 (100 4) + Kifno Universal Scripts 1.5
Recovery: aospCWMod-HC-20110421.img (w/ firerat-recovery
SD card: 8GB(real size:7.45GB) (7.0GB FAT32 + 256ext4 + 128swap)
What happened:
* doesnt recognize SD card not only after booting but also from Recovery mode.
* cant connect with Hero via ADB not only from USB cable and also from wireless(ADB wireless)
(first, I could connect with Hero, but suddenly I couldnt)
* Any other functions on HERO may work well (Call, Network, Wifi are available)
* USB cable still supply power fortunately.
What did I do before this matter happened:
* "Backup Current ROM" via ROM Manager 4.1.0.0
It did not work well although messages (Waiting for SD card to mount (XXsec)) appear. After that my phone does not recognize SD card but ADB was still working.
* After doing "Partition SD card" via ROM Manager 4.1.0.0, typing "parted" on ADB and so on (as follows), ADB was gone.
What I did to solve this problem:
* Reformat and Repartiton SD card (8GB/FAT32, 8GB(FAT32+ext3(256MB)+swap(128MB))
* Change another SD card (4GB/FAT32)
* Try another USB cable
* Partition SD card via Recovery mode
* Partition SD card via ROM Manager 4.1.0.0
* (parted command does not exist on Recovery mode)
* Reinstall Android SDK on PC
Others:
* SD card can be read from Windows 7 after my HERO did not recognizing it. (All of data on FAT32 were copied from SD to other)
* On root in SD card I found some files I have never seen before.
Those names are "qxdm_(DATE)_(TIME)_1.dm"
This files are created after reformat SD card.
I tried a few:
* ext3 partition is changed from ext3 to ext4, but still not recognize.
* Fortunately ADB wireless WORKS.
What causes that my HERO does not recognize SD card on Recovery mode?
(SD slot destroyed? or not?)
Can I reinstall recovery image and reflash ROMs via ADB wireless without using SD card? (If I can, does it make my HERO a brick?)
Any idea?

It sounds like you sorta found a solution. I would say it sounds like you're running too many tweaks. Why are you formatting your sd? Are you using data2ext or a2sd? If you use firerat you shouldn't need that. Also, to use SD in recovery you need to mount sd in the mounts/storage menu. I guess I'm a little unsure of where you're at now.
Thanks, il Duce.
> I would say it sounds like you're running too many tweaks. Why are you formatting your sd? Are you using data2ext or a2sd? If you use firerat you shouldn't need that.
Sure. All you said is right.
I used data2ext or a2sd in other ROMs once before using firerat.
Now I'm using firerat instead of it then I dont use data2ext or a2sd.
I was too lazy to remove ext4 partition.
The reason why formatting my sd card again is that as mounting sd card was not available due to these problems and I thought that its partition might be corrupted and I should fix it due to formatting it. But I had no luck..
> Also, to use SD in recovery you need to mount sd in the mounts/storage menu.I guess I'm a little unsure of where you're at now.
My explanation seemed like obvious. I wrote many unwanted things.
I couldnt mount sd in recovery menu. It said only "Error mounting /sdcard!" (also /sd-ext is same).
Before this problem happened, I was able to mount sd in it and in ROMs.
All I want to do is to use SD card in recover and in ROM again.
I did additional few things. But still I cant mount sd card.
* My hero in fastboot can be recognized from my laptop. "fastboot devices" can work well. But my hero in recovery cannot be recognized. "adb devices" cant get anything.
-> USB cable may be OK.
+ fasboot flash/boot does not work. (I found a posts that said that flash via fastboot doesnt work on Hero CDMA. Right?)
* My hero in hboot can access SD card. "HERCIMG.zip" on root in sd card can be accessed. But my hero in recovery cannot access sd card.
-> SD slot and SD card may be OK.
+ I cant find available HERCIMG.zip for HBOOT 1.47.
Can I flash recovery in terminal on ROM?
I would recommend the following:
1. Remove all partitions from your SD card, reformat it to FAT32
2. Run RUU on your phone, that should overwrite everything - you will need to re-root, but it will remove all the dingleberries from your phone.
Hope this helps.

Oh Dude, why didn't you say this earlier... I assumed that fastboot/HBOOT is not working on your phone.
1. You can absolutely flash recovery or any other images from fastboot, on a hero. Do "fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>"
2. You can also flash recovery from HBOOT... look for the right HERCIMG.zip, place it on the root of the SD card, boot your device by holding down the volume down + power

I find several HERCIMG.zip via some file share services that Google teaches me. I tried one of them (I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-792170.html) and it seems like doing well (as below).
Ohters say "CID incorrect" "Update Fail!" after Checking.
It says:
SD Checking...
<snip>
Loading...[HERCIMG.zip]
(refresh screen)
Checking..[HERCIMG.zip]
(refresh screen)
<VOL UP> FastBoot Mode
<BACK> Simlock
<HOME> Recovery
press <HOME>, go to Recovery, then boot.
But nothing changes. Still I have same issue.
Should I look for another HERCIMG.zip?
I have questions like noobish.
In my thought, these issues (cant mount sdcard in recovery and ROM) may be solved by reflashing ROM image again. Is it right?
Does "flash_image" via terminal on ROMs work well?
(I've not done it from terminal.)
If using firerat, is it necessary to flash FR-recovery over just flashed recovery to avoid rebooting back into recovery?
(I worry that if sdcard were not still mounted in recovery after doing "flash_image recovery" I would have no solution to escape from the bootloop into recovery mode because I cant connect phone in recovery via ADB now.)
Does the following steps seem worth a try?
1. push a recovery image to inner memory (e.g. /data/local/) via ADB wireless
2. open terminal, "su" and "flash_image recovery <above image>"

Doesn't seem like you are S-off or you have Eng-SPL. The first one would have allowed you to use HBoot and the second to run fastboot.
If you were S-Off and had the Eng-SPL, the screen should have read something like this...
HERC XC ENG S-OFF...
Anyways, did you try to run RUU? You should try the one found on the HTC website for the CDMA Hero.
Thanks, all.
Fortunately I seems like fixing these problem.
But it's not known exactly why I fixed these problems.
In view of andythegreenguy's advice, I tried to run RUU on my phone.
But I cant connect my phone via ADB.
Then I reinstall HTC driver for Windows 7 once again. Of course, I already tried it before but still it didnt work well.
Booting into FASTBOOT because I could connect my phone via FASTBOOT, and connecting my phone with USB and trying to replace HTC driver.
But it still said that the driver was already installed.
But after rebooting into recovery mode, my laptop recognized it. And sdcard could be mounted in recovery mode for no special reasons.
After booting sdcard works well in ROMs.
(No qxdm_*.dm files I had seen first after these problems occurred doesnt be created any more)
It seems strange to me that connecting ADB act on the behavior of mounting sdcard. I still worry that the same issues will happen. Does this happen?
Anyway, thank all guys giving advices to me.
ps. I'll try S-OFF and ENG-SPL for avoiding the same issues.
Good to hear that your problems seem to be solved.
BTW, you don't need to have ADB running to run RUU, you just need HTC sync properly installed and have the RUU executable from HTC website.
OMG... I got excited for nothing. I didnt fix it basically. LOL
After that, I tried to flash recovery image.
flash recovery(aosp 4/21) and flash FR-recovery(1.5.3) w/ full wipe and reboot into recovery.
But the same issues occured again. (hero in recovery didnt mount sdcard again laptop didnt connect it via ADB)
It goes worse in point of losing booting ROMs. HBOOT, FASTBOOT work but didnt do S-OFF and ENG-SPL.
I acted stupid. I should have done S-OFF or ENG-SPL before flashing recovery.
I guess that the I have the same chance as the previous post (occasionally ADB works well in recovery). I will do serveral things that I did. (and try on another PC).

Oops. I guessed wrong.
I could connect Hero in FASTBOOT via USB then run "HTC Sprint Hero MR 2.27.651.6.exe". It seemed to work. But it gave 'Error [131] Incorrect Customer ID'.
I was looking for some articles about Error[131]. They said that driver's name should be "My MTC" not "HTC Bootloader".
But my laptop shows "HTC Bootloader" after re-install HTC Sync 2.0.40 again and updating driver from "Devices and Printers".
Does it cause error?
I am all confused about what your phone is doing... . Anyways, switch off your phone (battery out, if nothing else works) and follow these steps:
1. Backup your SD card
2. Remove all partitions from the SD card and format it to FAT32
3. Install HTC sync on your computer
4. Download the RUU to your computer
5. Switch on your phone
6. Run the RUU from your computer and see what you get (report back)

I did above steps.
1. already done backup
2. Use "Mini Tool Partition Wizard 5" for removing all partition and making FAT32. (and use "Panasonic SD formatter 3.0" for re-formatting sdcard)
3, use HTC Sync 2.0.40
4. RUU is HTC Sprint Hero MR 2.27.651.6.exe
5. connect usb cable to hero
6. run RUU and turn on hero in accordance with its guidance.
hero is booting up normally and it shows FASTBOOT USB on the top of screen.
then rebooting by RUU and it shows alternative HTC boot screen
it says "Error 131 Customer ID error" and quit.
# I tried it from Windows 7 and Windows Vista. But both are same.
My career is KDDI Mobile. Maybe it borrows sprint network
(ROMs showed that the career was sprint) Is it concerned with Error 131?

The HTC RUU is for Sprint only... hence the error. Do you have a RUU specific to your carrier?

No I dont have it. I have checked that company's page for RUU but I had no clue.
I believed without no doubt thatit would work because KDDI services operates on Sprint networks as a MVNO and usually "Settings" shows "Sprint" as connected carreer.
BTW, I left hero in recovery mode all night.
I found the files "qxdm_*.dm" created on sdcard. What are these files?
These files seem to be created not only in recovery but also FASTBOOT, HBOOT.
Those file size seem to depend on running time after booting. (if the sizes exceed 65535KB, it seem to create a new file.)
I guess that after booting my phone may keep writing these files on sdcard and this may prevent phone from mounting sdcard...
I fixed SDcard issues ( not mounting). And I could flash RUU into phone by Gold Card.
Unfortunately, USB bricked issue are not solved.
But, I wrote up these steps for helping someone having same issues because I found many similar articles.
See my 1st Post.
