Hi,
I upgraded to the 4.01.00 build of 2003. I decided after a bit that I missed the stuff I could add in from the kitchen and also for some reason when I tried to install something to the SD card it would just create a cab file on the card... So I manually started the cab installer from the location and it automatically installed the software into main memory?
I went back to a new brew of yorch's kitchen using 4.00.16 with hopes that this would be resolved...
I dont seem to have any problems accessing the SD card.. the data is transfered over fine... although I set Activesync to use the sd card it only ever copies the cab file and then shows the program not installed.... if I go to the SD card I can see and run the cab file copied over by activesync... but it only copies it to memory
I thought cab files installed relative to your current location (i.e) you run an install from the SD.. it gets installed to the SD.. run it from the main memory and it gets installed to the main memory.. etc.
But I'm totally confused as to why activesync refuses to install anything onto the SD card itself.
Has anyone else recieved this problem? know how to fix it? any ideas?
currently it appears I can only use the SD card for music/files or whatever I want to store rather than install other programs...
cheers for any help,
Ian.
I would uninstall your current version of activesync and install version 3.7.1. If you have 3.7.1, I would do a reinstall. It sounds like the issue isn't your SD card or the ROM that is loaded.
upps, on my XDA I everything works fine ...
I mean installing software to SD card and running the software from SD card, others things are not that smooth .... but the above mentioned is ok
I do use WM2003, version 4.0.21 T-Mobile ROM

monika
Just thought I'd add how I fixed the problem...
I stopped using this
http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/fg/dockware.htm
everytime I hard reset my device the first thing I'd do was install 3 programs...
Iliumsoft Dockware Pro
Tillanosoft Small Menu Plus
Omega One Battery Pack 2004
On that build (4.01.00) of the ROM Dockware would pretend to install by activesync... but it wouldnt even copy over or anything...
After doing that, the rest of the software would follow straight into main memory whither I asked it to or not.... the exception to this case was a few programs like Resco explorer and a few games that did install to the card.
Everything else just copied the cab files over to the sd card.. and then when you installed the cab files from there, they went into main memory.
So.... I hard reset the device and didnt install DockWare at all.... every piece of software installs fine now without a hitch...
Strange huh?
MOTD: dont use Dockware on later builds of 2k3 heh
ok, before the flaming begins, I'm a noob and should have never even messed with this thing. ok, there, I said it.
alright, a month or two back, I upgraded my 6800 to the nochem 5054 rom. phone worked awesome, no problem.
I'm selling the device and need to flash back to the stock verizon rom. the only place I saw a link to the stock rom, the ftp was down so I couldn't download it.
so I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350539&page=1 and figured it sounded like a good substitute. I downloaded the exe and it installed. finished flashing and said that it was successful. only one little problem (and I've searched for an hour and haven't found the answer...)
it won't boot. it just sits at the HTC TITAN boot graphic. not the tricolor loader. I hard reset but still no fix. once I reset the phone it displays the cresent graphic with HTC TITAN at the bottom, then the little red parameters come up and this is what they say:
M09
H3B60B3FA
P DCAAXAM-4350
R 3.35.04
D 2.17
so, the phone won't boot and I can't get it to connect with activesync to try and reload that rom.
damn. What now?
You have a non GPS rom with the 3.35.04 radio, which is incompatible.
awesome. now I know the problem, I just need a solution.
and do you have any idea where to find a STOCK vzw rom? I guess I need a radio too.
someone please <sniffle>
Go to www.ppcgeeks.com There is a Verizon stock rom on the FTP site....find by clicking QLinks tab at top of page. Go to Titan folder and inside you'll find 'Carrier ROMs'...there is a Verizon ROM inside. Uploaded in March of this year...I don't know what version...I'm on Alltel. Hope this helps.
will I be able to execute that without my pda having an activesync connection though?
yeah, I just finished downloading the stock rom (THANKS) but I can't get the pda to sync up. I guess because it won't boot, it won't connect to my PC either.
what bootloader do you have installed?

how do I find out? I originally got buildos from ppcgeeks and I chose the 5054 option. I used some unlocker first, then I used buildOS and flashed the device.
is the bootloader in any of those parameters I put above?
Hold power, camera, and soft reset using the stylus while holding them, should put the phone into the bootloader.
It should say at the top:
TITA100 MFG
SPL xxxxxxxxxx
CPLD-9
Tell me what it says where the xxxxxxxx is.
SPL-2.40.Olipro
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I have downloaded the titan relocker and also the correct stock rom from the titan wiki area, the 78MB on. I believe that has the radio too.
geez, I should have never messed with this thing, I don't even know what a radio is....
Ok this is what you need to do. Since you have the 3.35.04 radio and 2.40 bootloader you need to flash a 3.x.x GPS rom in order to be able to boot again. Unfortunately because you can't boot and establish a usb connection, the only way out of this mess is to flash with a microsd card that's less than 2gb. If you don't have one, get one. You'll also need a card reader as well so you can format it correctly.
1. Download this file It's a clean verizon 3.x.x rom and will allow you to boot again.
2. Format your microsd card using a card reader in windows as FAT32 using a cluster size less than 4 Kb.
3. Place the file you downloaded on the card.
4. Insert the card in your phone and enter the bootloader again.
5. The bootloader will say "Checking" then will prompt you to press the power button to begin the update. Press the power button.
6. When it's done, soft reset with the stylus and the phone SHOULD boot into windows mobile allowing you to get an activesync connection.
Now all you have to do is relock your phone using titan_relocker (follow instructions carefully and exact), then flash the stock rom and radio. Make SURE you relock though, and make sure you use the correct rom and radio this time.
ooops .... GC has you all lined up .....
az
well, rather than buy a card and reader, I thought I could shortcut by borrowing a card from someone, then I used my wife's 6800 to format it with pocket mechanic. I chose fat32 and 2K cluster size.
copied the file from my laptop to my wife's 6800 which had the card in it. popped it in my phone and went into the loader but it just says serial.
Is it necessary to have a card reader and format through windows? if it is, I will go buy one and do it that way. my buddies card is only 64MB but that's ok because the file is only 45MB.
let me know about the reader so I know if I need to run to the best buy real quick. wow, making progress.
Yeah you can't format the card using the phone. You also can't copy the file to it using the phone. Go buy a cheap one. You don't even need a card reader, you could use one of those sd to usb dongles and it would work fine. (If you choose to go this route, just make sure the card you buy comes with an sd to microsd adapter). Just can't do it using the phone.
ok, I got a 1gb card with the standard SD adapter.
I went to format it in my laptop and I used fat32 but it didn't give me a cluster option. it just said default allocation size and It was not able to be changed.
anyhow, formatted and copied the .nbh file over and turned on but it just says serial and does not look like it was reading from the card...

Go to the XDA-Wiki at the top of the page and click on it. You'll see all the HTC models...scroll down until you see the Titan model...click on it. Scroll about halfway down the page to the section titiled 'Tutorials'...you'll see a topic called 'Getting started with your Titan'...click on it. This will have a section on flashing via SD card. It explains how to format the card in DOS. For some reason many times when formatting thru windows stuff doesn't work...I have no idea why...but when you format thru DOS its almost failsafe. Good luck....make sure its in the root directory of your card and labeled TITAIMG.nbh

Flashing a phone with a micro SD card
1. Format a microSD card into FAT32 with an allocation unit/cluster size of 1024
(the default size for a 1 GB would not work, also if it takes only a few seconds to format
try formating with some other slot/device. A 1 GB took over a minute to format correctly)
To format your Card - Open a DOS box and type/copy and paste this: ( format ?: /FS:FAT32 /A:1024 )
Replace the ? with whatever your SD cards drive letter is... ie: f, h, I.... Mine is G....
2. Copy the ROM to flash (xxxxxxxx.nbh) to the root of the microSD
3. Rename the ROM xxxxxxx.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh
4. Insert your card.
5. Force into the boot loader with POWER-CAMERA-RESET
6. Follow the instructions and you'll quickly flash your Titan...
That was in the Titan Wiki - You can use a DOS box to format, do not use Windowz Explorer....
Hey there folks.
Just a quick one here. But does using a class 6 sd card in a G1 make much difference to the running of it?
I am talking of a rooted phone using A2SD.
I currently have the class 2 8GB card that came free with the phone but can grab a class 6 one pretty cheap off ebay.
Would it make a noticeable difference?
For A2SD alone, I think it won't make a big difference, especially if your reading speed is good enough.
I have decided that I will go for a class 6 card but I have a few choices and not sure which one to go for:
http://www.play.com/Search.aspx?sea...archstring=8gb+micro+sd&page=search&pa=search
The samsung one looks pretty good.
These prices reflect very closely the ones on ebay for the same/similar products so I would probably just buy from them.
Many Thanks

Get any class 6 you want but if you have alot of apps class 6 would be better or if you plan on using a hero rom or something that uses swap.
Cool.
Yes I am using a swap partition and have a fair few apps too.
I have just ordered the Samsung one as it had a higher transfer speed than the trandcend one.
Thanks
i just have a quick follow up question, as i have been wondering this exact same thread topic for awhile now (hope the OP doesnt mind)
something that says "10mb ram hack" means it is using the swap function right?
and also, if i buy a new sd card, do i need to just stick it in and (if A2sd is already installed on the custom rom) it will work? ive been holding on buying one because i didnt know whether i would have to go thru the whole root process again or something
many thanks
If you already have root access, you shouldnt have to do the whole process again.
I just got my Class 6 yesterday and switched it over with no problems (running SuperD).
I did it this way and it worked fine (senior members might have a better method):
I put in the new card and booted to recovery. Im using Amon recovery. I then just did a full wipe, and then partitioned using the command in the recovery window. After that, I enabled USB access from recovery and dragged the radio, spl, and rom to the newly partitioned sd card. I flashed radio, then spl, and then the rom and all worked fine.
I did have to install all my apps again, so if your wanting to save the apps you have installed now, you might need to do it a different way. I dont even think you actuallyl have to even flash the radio and spl again if you have already done it. I just did it to be sure.
Hope that helps a bit.

if you are just swapping sd cards, there is no need to flash SPL and Radio again. Those are flashed to the PHONE.
easiest way to swap sd cards quickly and easily is this...
use AMON-Ra recovery
go to console-
type in switchrom
now type switchrom -s sdchangebackup <---- you can change that name, this is just for demo purposes.
once it creates a nand backup and saves your stuff you have one or two choices.
1)pull that sdcard out of your phone, put it in a card reader
2)boot into android and mount the sdcard
once that is done, drag all the files from the sdcard into a folder on your desktop named whatever you would like (mine is SDSwitch)
now turn phone off and put NEW sdcard into phone. Boot into recovery and partition it using amon-ra recovery.
put the NEW sd card into card reader and drag all files from your backup folder onto the new card.
put NEW sdcard back into phone and boot back into recovery and go to console.
type switchrom
and then switchrom -r (a list will come up if you have other switchroms you can choose them but if you want to go back to EXACTLY what you had before just choose the one you named earlier in this process)
once it restores everything, boot it up and test it out. it should be back to where you were with no problems.
it seems like a long and tedious process but it only takes about 5-10 minutes and your phone is back to normal without having to reflash a ROM and get it back to all your apps and customized stuff.

Yeah I heard...but I haven't seen one, somebody else said they are too big for the sd slot on the G1....can't confirm that though, either way the TOPRAM, sdcard is the top of the line as far as Class 6 goes.
I'm running a Centon 16GB class 6 card (1GB A2SD EXT3, 96MB linux-swap) in my G1 and everything's running lightning fast.
I hope so I just ordered an 8 gig micro sd card class 6 from amazon. I have a class 4. I hope I can tell a difference. I want to run Hero Roms and from what I am reading you need the class 6 to do so.
yes, for hero roms, yes yes yes yes yes. yes and yes

Hi,
Having hardware issue with my LEO and need to return it to vendor for replacement. Have been trying to get original SPL 1.66.0000 back onto phone however I'm not having much luck.
I've copied the stock vendor image to root of SD as LEOIMG.nbh however when I enter the bootloader I keep seeing the "no image file" message so it won't attempt a flash. If a connect the phone to the PC via USB I can see the file exists on the SD card.
Have also tried re-formatting the card as FAT32 but doesn't seem to have made any difference.
Currently using SPL 2.08.0000 but want to get back to 1.66.0000 as I don't think Telstra's image is running with anything higher.
I'm not sure what else to try.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
run hspl2 choose 1.66.0000
The problem might be the size of the microSD card. Try using the 2GB card that came with the phone.

After scrambling around I finally found a 2gb microSD card. Now I seem to be stuck on a white "loading" screen when it tries to read the LEOIMG.nbh file.
Any ideas?
Forget that, I had overlooked the fact I was already on 2.08 original so of course it wouldn't work until I installed HSPL on it to be able to backrev
Thanks, all sorted now.
I have recently upgrade to android 2.3.3 and am using EWJET as a rom.
I cannot access the SD once Android OS has booted. All apps and the system/settings says SD Card isn't mounted. Tried multiple installs, nothing works.
All 2.1/2.2 Roms are fine.
If i tap back during start-up and access xrecovery I have normal access to the SDcard and can flash packages etc. So the phone is able to access the card ok.
My SD card is the 8gb that came with the phone and isnt partitioned in anyway.
However in the past I did have it partitioned, but not now. Incase I am installing 2.3.3 and the rom wrong, ill tell you my steps.
Factory Firmware 2.1 flashed
rooted, busybox and recovery installed
Flashed X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only_kernel_baseband
then install the EWJET rom as per his instructions..
I pray I am only doing the above steps wrong as I desperately want the SD working on 2.3.3.
Any help would be appreciated.

you try pulling it out and blowing on it like an old nes game...
jk smiles but have you tried perhaps throwing the sd into a computer and just formatting with different cluster sizes or in general formatting the card. Might need to use an adapter.
Happen the same thing to me but with wolfbreaks rom... some people told me to re-flash the rom but it didnt work. The funny thing is the the sd card will work on any other device, and any other sd card will work on the phone... havent try re-formatting the card cauze i dont have the adapter but it should work

you might want to get an adapter. A while back i tried setting up a sd-ext partition on a 4gig card and long story short the only way i was able to run a format that gave me back the 4gigs was throwing it into an adapter
Had the same thing when I updated with stock-2.3.3.... At the time I had it partitioned in 2 partitions...
I connected the phone then with my pc, and there it was, alive and well.... So I backed up the entire card, that is, the first partition, where all my data were; I powered off the phone, took it out, found a adapter, deleted the 2nd partition with Partition Wizard Home Edition Minitool, made the sd-card 1 partition only, formatted that partition, and then I copied all my backed-up data back to the card
Then I put the card back in the phone, booted and voila: the card was recognized again by 2.3.3....! and now it functions ok!
Hope this helps, greetz, good luck,

Anything new on this?
for me it is a little different. The card that came with the phone works fine with the GB update, the thing is that I got another phone, this one came with a 4 Gb card so I took the one in the x10 with all my pics and put it in my new phone and put the other new card in the x10 but it doesn't recognize it...
I've tried with 2 different cards, in xRec i can read it, back up, etc, but once in android its like there's nothing there. Tried formatting it with no results....
What could it be that it reads the original x10 card and no other?
Ive got no idea, but its annoying. Im gonna have to go back to 2.1 which sucks.
We need to some how figure out whats causing this. Ive tried everything.
2.3 seems to be the problem.

Today i found a workarround using DISKPART (6 years later hehe)
Note that this will wipe your storage card so BACKUP !!
Hold [Win + R] and type in : diskpart (or launch cmd as admin and types: diskpart )
Every lines should be followed by enter key.
list disk
select disk *
(" * " is the number of your drive. be carefull do not choice your hard drive number which is commonly 0)
clean
create partition primary
assign
format fs fat quick
exit
Tested and work fine on windows 8 (but should work on 7, 8.1, 10)
Thanks Hope i help even 6 years later !! cheers
