Unfortunately, i've a brocked usb at my HTC Nike - it was burned by incompatible charger. So, is it possible to flash from SD card like another HTC phones?
Yes it is possible, though I've not been able to get it to work myself.
Process is...
1. Format SD Card to FAT32
2. Rename your rom to NIKEIMG.NBH and copy to sd card
3. boot phone in bootloader more and it should flash. (i used enterbootloader.exe, but you can also use power+camera+reset apparantly)
I think because I've upgraded my HardSPL it doesn't work for me, as I sit in bootloader screen (white with word "loading...") for ages.
Anyway, here's a link where I found the info.
Hope it works for someone else.
Yes, it works! Thank you!
The SD card slot on my phone seems to be broken. I've tried multiple SD cards and none of them seem to get read, so I've concluded that it must be the phone.
Im trying to unroot it so I can send it to verizon for a replacement. I was kind of depending on this method to do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
but obviously I need the use of the SD card. So I'm kind of in a pickle.
Is there any other way to do it? Something that doesnt need an SD card?
The "Official" 2.1 RUU Utility (= Leak-V3) requires no SD Card
MultiUpload.com - RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed _with_driver.exe
It runs on your Windows PC.
Charge your phone well (say, > 80%)
Turn it off
Plug it in to your PC (still off)
Start the Eris up in fastboot mode (Send+End)
Run the above (HTC) utility - follow the instructions on the screen.
Thanks, man. Just ran it. Worked perfectly.
Just got to install a few apps before I take it in so that it doesn't look too barebones >_>
This is really strange. I just put in the SD card, to see if it was still broken and it magically worked again @[email protected]
I tried with the same SD cards that I used when I was rooted and they all worked as well.
I guess this means I dont have to turn it in, but this is still very strange.

Bummer or Not Bummer? I'm not sure. Nothing like an intermittent problem to give you plenty of confidence.
Well, if you don't take it in, at least you will get more practice at rooting.
If you want to be one of cool kids on the block, you can update the unrooted RUU (= Leak-V3) software to the July 2010 OTA using the honest-to-goodness factory codes. You might want to do this anyway, because it will install the July 2010 HTC radio, if not for the "fun" involved.
Go visit this thread:
Consolidated HTC RUU, Leak, and OTA Downloads
and grab the "4th OTA" which converts 2.36.605.1 -> 2.37.605.4; the file name is
OTA_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.37.605.4_2.36.605.1_release.zip
You rename it to "update.zip", and put it on your SD card in the root folder, then:
- verify the file length and MD5 checksum (of the copy of the file on the SD card)
- charge your phone fully
- power your phone off and boot into recovery mode
(either Vol-Up+End, or HBOOT(Vol-Down+End) -> recovery)
- you will get that screen with the triangle and exclamation point; when that is showing, press Vol-Up+End again, and you will see the stock recovery menu.
- Choose the one that says something about SD:update.zip (or similar)
- Let it run through until it reboots (I can't recall, it may reboot twice).
Then, when you root this, you can take a Nandroid backup - then you will have a Nandroid backup of the July 2010 "Factory" configuration. The "cool kid on the block" part is that almost nobody has ever done this - most Eris rooters were already rooted when July 15-17 rolled around, or if they were stuck not rooted on Leak-V3, they got the OTA automatically. Very few people have actually ever used the factory recovery menu on the Eris. (I have done it just to look at it.)
Cheers

Did you happen to partition your SD cards for apps2sd on a rooted 2.1 ROM and then try installing a Froyo ROM? If so, that is an explanation - (most) of the Froyo ROMs will not mount an SD card with more than one partition on it.
If this is the case, and you still want a Froyo ROM, you can backup the contents of your SD card, use Amon's Recovery to partition it again (setting the size of the ext2 and swap partitions to 0 bytes), and you should be ok. If the fact that your SD cards were partitioned was the issue...
Good catch doogald - I just assumed that this wasn't the case because the OP mentioned more than one SD card.
No, I was using a Froyo rom.
Also, I forgot to point out that it wasn't the first time it's happened. The Last time, however, I was able to get it to work again after a reboot. When I did get it to work, half the stuff on the card was missing. Luckily I had it all backed up, so it wasn't too much of a hassle.
This time, I couldn't get it to recognize the card at all, even after several reboots and trying several different cards.
But like I said, it works now. Ill probably re-root it again this weekend when I have the time. Hopefully, things work out differently this time.
Hi All
I've purchased the Aria for my wife, got it on Ebay today and now i'm trying to install a new ROM for it, without much success, I have 15 different chrome tabs open, and I think I've kinda need help now, here's what I did :
i've been following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159237 mainly, since I saw it's for 2.2.2.
I managed to S-Off successfully, and install CWM, but failed at actually getting CWM to work, after a long troubleshooting, I discovered I still don't have my phone rooted (downloaded titanium backup to verify it).
so I went over and looked at the root guide using unrEVOked Recovery - it does it's things and reboot the phone twice during the process, but then it says "unable to root, firmware is too new ?"
so I figured I might have an odd firmware, tried installing the one from HTC Website, it didn't seem to work either (failed to install) but I didn't troubleshoot it much since I saw that the version HTC has is exactly the same one I was had.
at this point, I ready many guides, but seen no one with the same Root problems I had, so i'm hoping any1 can direct me to the next steps, what am I doing wrong ?
here's some data from the bootloader screen, incase you need it :
Liberty PVT Ship S-Off
HBOOT-6.02.1002
MICROP-031b
Touch Panel-STN21_00
Radio-7.16.35.11
Nov 4 2010
Thanks
The S-OFF portion was successful, so at least you got that far. S-OFF does NOT automatically give you root.
Unrevoked will not work on your device because it only works on older devices that have HBOOT version 0.57.00. That's what the error message there meant. That's fine though, you don't need to use Unrevoked.
If you have HTC Sync installed, uninstall it. Then follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122694 (the first 6 steps only)

thanks for the fast response.
did the first 6 steps (cwm installation) using recovery img from CWM 2.517 , went fine, but still can't load any ZIP files using CWM, it says "no zip files found".
basically same as before.
so when you boot it into cwm then go install zip from sd nd comfirm it all, it comes up with "no zip files found"

I don't even get to confirm it before I get this message.
it's like CWM have no access to the SD Card.

oh okay then well...
so you choose the "install zip from sdcard"?
not the "apply sdcard:update zip"
then it comes up with that error

yea, that's right.
alright im not quite sure of the problem but i have let someone know who is a developer of the aria know. attn1 is very well known he will fix your problem very quickly
It sounds to me like Clockworkmod was successfully installed.
Some things to try:
1) Boot up your phone normally and confirm that you are able to read/write from the SD card.
2) Try doing a Nandroid backup. When it does the backup it should write to the SD card. See if you get any errors during this process.
3) Try removing the SD card you have in the phone now and making sure it's seated properly.
4) If that doesn't fix your problem, try reformatting the SD card using this tool (specifically this tool, as it is designed to fix bad SD card formats) - http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/SDFormatterv3.0.zip. To use this tool you need to have an SD card reader on your computer (you can't do it through your phone)
5) If THAT doesn't work, try using a different SD card.
Good luck.

Genius !
formatted the SD card using the tool, but then the Aria said it's damaged, reformatted using the Phone, rebooted to recovery and CWM managed to see files, installed SU successfully.
Thanks alot !
You haven't by chance bought your SD card off eBay have you?I'm asking because there's a ton of b.s. SD cards on the net.I myself got one through bestofferbuy.looked okay unless you tested it or went over 1.7gb
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
I didn't bought it off ebay, but it was never a physical problem with the SD Card, since I took it off my SGS2 and moved it to my wife phone, I guess I needed to format it before I Tried to use it, what confused me is that I had no issues accessing the card from the PC or from the phoen itself (Astro for example), but the CWM didn't like it at all.
anyway, i'd suggest to read reviews and feedbacks about SD Cards, I got mine from newegg, it's a Patriot Class 10 card, a bit overkill, but cheap considering its high-end card.
I successfully rooted my Nook Tablet and installed CM 7. However I foolishly applied a zip update that was not compatible and now I'm stuck in a boot loop.
My CWM bootable SD card refuses to work no matter what. I've followed the steps exactly as stated :
1. Using GParted on Ubuntu
2. I selected No-Free space preceding partition while partitioning
3. 50MB
4. FAT 32
5. Boot and LBA flags
6. Copied files
I don't know what to do to to make it work. I've tried all sorts of minor variations in partitioning the card but nothing appears to make the SD card work.
Can someone please help me?
Use Adam Outler's Ubuntu recovery image. He provides step by step instructions on how to unzip the image and transfer it onto the sd card. Have to use linux so if your on a Windows pc, then go grab you a cd or usb bootable copy of Ubuntu. The restoration process takes a while and seems like it hangs in spots but have patience. It takes somewhere around 20 minutes for it to complete but in the end you will be back on stock 1.4.0, safe and sound....Good Luck.
Alright well, I managed to get CWM working. Apparently my SD Card was just fine - I just needed to make sure the NT was plugged into a computer at the same time.
Now my question is : how do I get things working again? I had previously thought that I could simply flash CM 7 again and this would fix the issue, but now I realize that for some reason CWM only read from the 50MB partition from which it booted. Changing the SD card after booting into CWM doesn't work either.
So what do I do? Thanks again..
Nevermind. What I did was pushed the recovery to the internal card so that I didn't need the SD card to boot into recovery. I then reformatted my card and dumped the CM7 zip onto it. Then reflashed CM7. Voila.

Glad to read you got it working.
Just wanted to comment on the above.
You can boot the SD version of cwm then remove the SD card. This is exactly how I installed CM7 That I'm currently running.
It didn't take the first time as cwm didn't read my SD. But after a repartition of the SD csrdz no problems.

I actually tried taking the SD card out, reformatting it and then trying to get it to read but for some reason CWM just doesn't do it. Maybe I should have tried a few more times...
Hi folks. I had an unrooted Rezound. I used the HTC Dev site to get it to an unlocked bootloader. I installed the Amon-Ra recovery and used it to flash the Infection JB ROM. Now it boots into the white HTC screen, goes slightly darker white and doesn't move. I can get back into recovery but after some wipes to clear up problems, now I'm stuck. It won't mount the internal or external SD cards. I *can* boot into fastboot but when I try to push a different ROM, I get the message that it doesn't an android info file.
I think I might be okay if I can use flashboot to flash maybe an ICS based ROM but I'm not sure. It seemed the phone originally didn't like the 32 gig SD card in there (one boot prior to the flashing it said damaged SD card). I popped it out, put it in a USB card reader and formatted it to fat32. Recovery threw an error when trying to access the SD card to do the flashing of the Infection ROM so I just flashed it from the copy I had placed on the internal SD. I'm guessing I might have to flash a standard boot.img from flashboot and try things again?.

Try using the usb mount to access sdcard. you may have to reformat one if you have an extra one. Or format it prior to putting it in your Rezound. As long as you can access recovery you are not bricked.

Provided I can gain access to the SD card, what would be my next step? Flash an ICS rom?
When trying to access the internal SD from recovery, I get this error-can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 or mmcblk0p38. Invalid argument. If I try to flash anything from the SD card, it says that it is opening the package, gives another line and then kicks me right back to the recovery menu. From there, trying to pull up the external card leads to a blank directory unless I yank the battery and reseat the card (or potentially just reseating the battery). Does anybody have any ideas?
fixit if you are s-0n
Look around xda, or google and find/download RUU 3.14.605.12, which should be an *.exe executable file.
Use a md5 checksum utility to confirm validity, boot into fastboot, and run this RUU.
It should make everything OK again.
@Napalm
Format the sd card using your recovery.
If you still have it in its current state open the rom's zip file, copy out boot.img, and fastboot flash it. Then attempt booting like normal.
Thanks Michael and hi Snuzz! After doing more searching, I did notice an extra step in one of the roms I used. It mentioned about flashing the boot.img in hboot if S-On was true. For my rezound, yeah it's still S-on for me. When I get back to my main PC, I'll see what I can do. I really hope I can come back from it as I'm really looking fwd to upgrading from my Tbolt. The Rezound has such a nice camera and processor, I'd prefer not to have to go another route.
Oh my god. This is so horribly screwy. The problem all along.....it ws the stupid 32 gig SD card I was using. I put Rage 2.3 on a 16 gig card, tried to flash from that one and it worked perfectly. No need for the RUU. I'm happy I didn't need it because of this warning.
This will not work if you used the HTC Bootloader unlock tool. Your device must be fully stock with a locked bootloader or you must have S-Off

On the 32 gig card, the zip flash would go by very fast and then basically reboot the recovery. From there, well the thread covers that. As of right now, Rage 2.3 has booted and asking for initial setup info. Since Rage is going to be my first ROM on this device, anybody have any thoughts on it or comments on another they like more?
