How to Flash without microSD ???

After testing new custom ROM phone fall into eternal sleep.
how to resurrect?
card reader aslo in eternal sleeping : )

Mind sharing what ROM you used, so others wont make the same mistake?
Regarding your question, i've got no clue.
Maybe one of the guru's comes along to help you with your problem.

Can you get to the tri color screen?

Oh, yeah, thnx for response : )
But 3color screen appeared : )
So i download XPERIA Update ROM Utility, put *.nbh in that dir and run it.
After 3 next pressings it start to flash.
Better then from SD card because automatical reboot present : )

Mind telling us WHAT rom you used?

i think it might of been a custom rom that he was developing and testing - not one he downloaded. roms get tested pretty well before being released so nothing like this happens to regular users.

My own custom ROM. I trying to make it extra lite.
Now it about 84Mb instead of 160.
I still can't understand, why it freezed at once after SEMC1904.GIF, but now i make more testing levels between cleaning operations.... : ) ) )

Could be a "xip" problem when not showing up the windows mobile screen. But good to hear it's working again

How to flash without microSD?
Hi,
I've started reading the forum about a week ago and some tutorials mention a way of flashing by pc, without microSD, but most of the howtos are only for the microSD method.
KovskyKitchen has an option, like "flash a rom", but i don't want to try it without any howtos, tutorials or docs.
Help me out with some links, please.
Thanks,
taarzaan

Hello
I have problem with my microsd.
I can not format - Windows was unable to format the card
My card: Sandisk 8GB SDHC
The system detects its RAW file format, and the capacity of 32 MB - lol
Someone knows how to solve this problem?

Lob the SD in your PC, goto disk management and format to FAT32

[Solved] Galaxy S advance Internal USB Storage Shrinkage Problem

Hi Friends, I like to share some good information about Glaxy S advance I9070 16gb.
I upgrade my SGSA to russian JB firmware few days back. After that when i format usb storage it shrinkage from storage 11.31 gb to 3.92 gb. I was astonished, how it was happen and what was the reason for it? Then I think may be bugs of Jellybean update. But I was wrong.
Solution
Main reason for USB Storage shrinkage is PIT file. Few days back I flash my mobile with wrong PIT file of 8gb I9070 unknowingly. After that when upgrade jellybean and format it shrinkage from storage 11.31 gb to 3.92 gb. It is very necessary to flash mobile with correct PIT file for version of mobile. Here I attached I9070 16gb Ginger Bread PIT file which works on Jellybean for me and brings my 11.31gb USB strorage back for me. If any one having same problem they can apply this. But I am not responsible for any mobile breakage.
Note: Must necessary Format USB storage after Flashing with Correct Pit file.
Now I am very Happy. Thanks.

The other users can also do the same without doing a re-flashing . its one Step method though.
Just Run the bat inside zip file Attached herewith using ADB and it will format the whole mmcblk0p8 ( 11.3 GB ) storage.
NOTE : But do take the backup before doing so to be on the safer side as whole internal memory will get formatted and data within will be lost.

help needed

Just Check these two things
1) you have Samsung drivers installed for your phone ( Samsung kies).
2) your phone should be in dubugging mode to use ADB (system settings-->Development option --> usb debugging).
3) Download the attachment -- extract it.
4) Now connect your mobile to PC using USB.( close Kies ).
5) Run Batch file inside the folder and it will do the rest , reboot the phone after that and you hv 11.3 gb back.

Hey guys! I've got the same problem: I flashed to JB and now, my internal SD has got 3.91GB of free storage. The problem is, I can't remember if my phone was the 8 or 16GB version and I don't wanna flash the wrong PIT file =/ What can I do now to find it out? I don't have the packaging anymore.

If you remember that you had 11GB free internal, it was 16GB version.

That's the point...I don't know it anymore =/ I know, it sounds kinda strange - but the last time I copied smth onto my phone seems like eternities ago and I just don't know whether I had the 8 or 16GB version xD
Is there any possibility to get that information - for example via my IMEI or the serial number of my phone?
And what'd happen if I flashed the wrong PIT? Would my phone just get into a bootloop and I could easily flash the right PIT or could it mess everything up?

This needs Root-Permissions, doesn't it? Because it doesn't work on my unrooted phone...
EDIT: Odin won't flash my PIT files =/ I tried several 8GB and 16GB PIT files with and without FW flash and nothing works...Odin always says "Get PIT for mapping" but it won't repartition my storage...What can I do now?
2nd EDIT: I tried vivekchamoli's bat several times now - and I think it bricked my phone finally. I clicked restart and it won't boot, it won't vibrate when I hold the power key, it won't charge when I plug it in and I can't get into download mode. So, my phone literally can't do anything anymore! What can I do now...? ='(

Why do you guys even bother to use pit files?
Odin automatically detects the partition mapping!

8 or 11GB?
If you had 11, then you can do something. On 8GB phones you have 3.91GB free space for data. Rest is for app, systemy ram...
And try not to play around, that guy bricked his phone. Be sure what amount of memory you had before you do anything. You have box, warranty papers - maybe there is written...

Later on I tried the 3.5Gb partition EBR files and successfully flashed them. It successfully extended my phone memory to 2.8 Gb but I was unable to mount the Internal SD. Hope I have done some miStaKe during the flashing via SP Tools.

My phone has got new WINGS....
Kisses to the dEv for his ultimate work....

Few more issues
I see few issues with this ROM.
1. Earlier I used to have flip to silent feature in my Turbo however after flashing with this ROM i`m unable to use Flip to silent. I tried Motion gesture settings but still no go.

I noticed that with Titanium backup when I move all the user apps from phone storage to Internal Card after restart they are back in phone storage.
Also is there a way to default storage apps in Internal SD card.

[Q] Canvas Turbo internal sd card repartitioning

Hi,
I am new to the forum. My micromax canvas Turbo A250 has 16 GB ROM. The problem is that it has only 1 GB for apps. I know this problem has been posted many times here, but I can't find a solution that is acceptable to me. All the solutions provided here increase system memory to 2 GB or 4 GB but I want no partitions at all in my internal sd card and want all of 16 GB available for apps installation, like in nexus 5. Thanks in advance

You can't have all 16GB available for apps since the SO use some off them. The max you can have is 6GB for apps with the help of this tuturial.

Sdcard on moto G Second Generation

Hello guys, I updated my smartphone moto G second generation for Cm 13. So, I put the Sd card and sistem asked me if I went use how memory internal , but after the finish, the Sd card stayed blocked, and I can´t open on the PC, only in cellphone. Help me!

Try formatting your SD Card using MiniTools on PC.

Yeah, Android 6 does that. "Security reasons". The only ROM that allows you to use the SD card as you did on Lollipop is Temasek's.
It is not maintained for LTEs, though, so you'll need to do some tweaks to install it. But it's worth it.

Did you tried the MiniTools app on PC?

If you have LTE you should go for Titan recovery IMG, don't bother with CM or As the other guy said something about Temasek??? Far too complicated and seemingly non active so again don't bother. When selecting a Titan recovery .img you will have to go through a process of elimination, unfortunately. The devs of that custom IMG may or may not have got some of the uploaded images confused?? I say this because I had to flash my Moto G XT1072 2nd gen about 4 -6 times before I found an image that installed and booted correctly? Good luck. Let me know if you have the same model as me as I could save you a whole lot of trouble and just give you a link to an image or images that are guaranteed to install correctly if you have the same model as me? Cheers
