SD Card info
Hi MobileMafia,
Searching the forums turned up several topics on SD card upgrades, but here is one specifically for the XDA II.
Please note that doing an upgrade incorrectly with an SD card can lead to many more problems and you should take every care to do this correctly.
The topic can be found here, just be careful with what you do, if you don't understand ask in that topic.

Try the sd card method to fix.
1. Format sd card fat32 and copy the .nbh file onto it. Rename to hermimg.nbh.
2. Insert card and reset to bootloader.
3. Follow on screen directions.
Should reflash the OS, just remember to have more than 50% battery power and backup your sd card so you can restore it before you flash. SD card has to be 2Gb or less.
Cheers...
sdcard upgrading
man i already follow sd card upgrading but nothing happened when i get onto bootloader screen.
2 things to check, the .nbh file MUST be named hermimg.nbh with no spelling errors. The sd card MUST be 2Gb or less and HAS TO BE FORMATTED FAT32. It comes formatted FAT.
To get to bootloader, hold power, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Hold in until tri-colour screen appears.
I know you are familiar with it but others who read this may not be.
Most people who say that it doesn't work have the one of the 2 things I mentioned set up wrong, mostly they don't format the sd card FAT32 as they assume its already formatted like that. I also found, on occsion, even though I had formatted the SD card \fat32 that it required formatting again.
Hope this helps.
Cheers...

HELP A NOOB PLEASE Hard-SPL won't load

Could someone please give me a heads up on why Hard-spl won't load on my att 8525. I am using the Hard-spl-v7 utility and it won't load onto my phone.
It keeps stopping after it goes into the bootloader and telling me my phone isn't connected to my laptop(running Vista home premium). Any help would be appreciated. I took a chance and used the original cingular WM6 upgrade, and ran the hermes SIM/CID unlock v3a(unlocked both). But Hard-spl still won't load. Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks
I had the same issue but was unable to correct it. I still have Oli 1.1 instead of the 2.0 although I was using an ATT Tilt... Try using an older version of Hard SPL or make sure you phone is unlocked. Sorry if this doe snot help.
Use the sd card method found on page 116, post 1160 of this thread -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Just remember the sd card must be 2Gb or less and you have to have a charged battery..
Cheers...
UR da bomb
Thank you so much i knew i had seen it somewhere that this could be done, and i searched for it for 2 hours last night to no avail. I'll try it ASAP and see if it'll work.
Didn't Work
Went back and checked my work. It didn't work because i have a 4gb sd card. I'll see what i can do about that.
I found the thread on partitioning an SD card. If i make 2 2gb partitions will that work?
No, it has to be a 2Gb or less... 4Gb is sdhc and the bootloader doesn't recognise it. Even partitioned it is still sdhc.
Should be able pick up a 1Gb sd card for less than $10.
Cheers...
WORKED
Ok i bought a 1gb card from Waly world this morning and it worked. On to a radio update and maybe a cooked rom. Thanks for all the help.

Multiple Q's :P

Basically, here is m problem:
I have a hermes. The GSM wasent working. I though maybe an upgrade to WM6 could correct some software bugs.... Wrong!
I realized it actually briecked (type 1a). Trying to follow the instruction to fix it, but i am not able to send ANYTHING to it!. Either by SD or Custom RUU. Finally i am standing with a Hermes, WM6, and it will NOT accept any flashes i try to put in it!
Its on HardSPL (2.10) IPL 1.04
Thanks in advance
Stephen_D
EDIT: Forgot to say what happens when i try to flash it!
With an SD card all I get it "Loading..." then returns to the bars
By USB it starts updating And freezes on 0%, then the software pops an error after 5 mins like what it can communicate.
Thanks
sort of the same problem...
I've been trying to flash a ROM for the past hour now and my phone doesn't get flashed.
(I already have HardSPL and I'm using a 1gig micro sd)
What I did:
Format the sd card to FAT32
copied the RUU_signed.nbh to sd card then renamed it to HERMING.nbh
I place the sd card on the phone that's connected to a charger
I press Power Button and Ok button on the left side then push reset
What happens:
It goes to bootloader mode (tricolor screen)
then it says loading...(2 seconds)
then goes back to the tricolor screen again
I waited for the prompt that I need to push the Power Button but it never came, so I soft reset it and tried it again but the same all over again.
The ROM I was trying to flash is the AT&T stripped ROM, I read it here that it's better to flash a stock ROM first before flashing/upgrading to a cooked ROM.
By the way I just found out that my X01HT isn't a Softbank, it's a DoCoMo.
Is my phone upgradeable?
Can someone please tell me what I missed?....I really want to upgrade my phone without bricking it.
Thanks!

What format is your SD card? Fat or Fat32?
Its gota be Fat32 to flash from it.
it's all good now....
I've given up flashing my phone from the sd card so I decided to flash it with my laptop instead. Luckily it worked without a hitch.
I'm so loving my phone now, been playing with it for 2 hours and the usual hang ups I got before are non-existing anymore.
To use the sd card method you need to check that the .nbh file is hermimg.nbh, NOT herming.nbh as you had written on your previous post.
The holy trinity of sd card flashing, Formated FAT32, Named hermimg.nbh & sd card is 2Gb or less...
Cheers...
I see.....
ok hermimg.nbh
will try this again, maybe next week since I'm enjoying my new ROM right now.
Thanks ultramag69!

Not quite BRICKed but..no mem. & error [224]

Hello,
FCWs 6.5 Home edition 8325,2gig
Long story involving a 5 year old.
Basically right now I can only fire up in sort of a limp mode; "low on memory" or no "permission". Probably due to scores of "FILE000x.chk" files on the device after using Pocket Mechanic Pro on microSD card.
1) It'll only reliably boots with a battery out/in technique.
2) Its "connected" to desk-top PC but as a "guest" and isn't "synced"
3) I can browse it through ActiveSync on the PC, but can't add, move or delete files due to "low memory" or "permissions" (same on the 8525)
4) A few programs won't run and are not recognized as "valid P-PC" apps, including the front end "home2"
5) Can't flash anything as SSPL ROM flasher gives "ERROR [224]: device not responding".
Started with a corrupt 2 gig microSD, couldn't write to it, ran Pocket Mechanic Pro. that Problem solved, this prob created.
Read all Wikis, searched error 224, reflashed about 15 times, know the ropes.
Any Ideas are greatly appreciated!
Regards, PK
Have you tried flashing the rom from the memory card, its the only thing that i can suggest i don't know much about broken hermes.
Hope this helps and that you find a fix
Thanks for the reply Scott,
That was my next line of attack but I'm not clear yet on exactly how to do it (I'll find out).
My big problem is I can't add (or remove or even move) any files on the device either from File explorer on the phone or through. ActiveSync on the pc (I can look at them though...). I also dont have a card reader writer.
I think a lot of problems would go away if I could delete all the 200+ *.CHK files generated by Pocket mechanic pro. I think that where all my memory went.
I just found a way using delete feature in "RAR" ...6 down 200 odd to go. Antone know how to select multiple files?
Regards, PK
Regards, PK
Now its in solitary
I managed to delete 219, *.chk files from the rom hoping to free up memory. I'ts still isolated, I cant add any files to it (like a ROM or utility) through activeSync. The warning is it "can't find the file or path." of the file. To flash a rom from I still get "error 224," don't recognize the device.
Tried to load the SD card with a rom through my camera, no luck, the camera says "cannot flash".
The OS still works in a limp mode, no phone, half the programs inaccessible and home2 no longer works.
Fun.
PK
Have you tried connecting the card to the computer and reformatting it from there you might then be able to flash another rom
Thanks,
I don't have a card reader. The only thing I do have is a printer that accepts multiple card types and a camera that takes this card. So far I can't right to either.
Ya, theres a thread that tells how to flash from a card. Right now though its just of limits.
Thanks, PK
Edit: just got card reader.
Have SD Card with rom can't boot off it and install.
Hello all interested,
1) So I bought a card reader and as per 2 wikis, reformated my SD card fat32 and a single partition of about 190megs.
2) I copied just the "RUU_signed.nbh" file from my stripped ATT rom RAR file. (The wikis were a little unclear as they were apparently using different roms)
3) I installed this ROM directly from my PC to SD card through the card reader. And put the little SD card into the phone. ( I can only read not write anything though activesync as wiki implies. Problem?)*
4) As per wikis , hard booted with pen while holding power and OK keys.
5) All I get is the 4 striped screen with a IPL and SPL verbiage. NOT the "loading from SD card" as described in the wikis.
Help... anybody, PK
* Does loading the ROM through Active syn? I know it changes format of some files

Did you rename the file RUU_singned.nbh to HERMIMG.NBH?
Thanks alot for the reply,
I think you are the man! I did change the name but changed it to HERMING.NBH not HERMIMG.NBH. It seems to be flashing (slowly) right now.
If this works I owe you a BIG cerveza!
Regards, PK

Vijovame,
You are definitely the man.
I flashed the plain Jane stripped ATT ROM but EVERYTHING WORKS! It syncs, the phone works, camera, etc, etc...Now I'm off to flash something interesting.
Thanks for making me re-read the .nbh name. (I've been trying to fix this about half the time I've owned it...my first smarphone)
All the best!!
PK
its good to hear that youve sorted it, theres a few roms out there at the moment so you may have to look around a bit and flash quite a few of them, the safest way is the card method but it is up to you.
Have fun with your hermes
Scotty,
Ironically I had already blindly flashed just about everything out there without a hitch. I finally settled on one. That's when all 'ell broke loose. Now I've got the stripped ATT on my flash drive ready to install anytime if I have to.
Thanks, PK
