I was trying to update the Wiki with the SD card flashing procedure. I have tried formating both a 2 GB and a 1 GB card with FAT32, and transferring the renamed .nbh file to it. My bootloader doesn't recognize the image file. I have tried multiple formating process on XP; from file manager, from a DOS command prompt, formatting it on the phone, with no success. I don't care about the 1 GB card, I would just like to get it formatted correctly for this purpose.
For those that have flashed your phone with this method, please respond to this thread with the SD card size, sector and cluster size. And I will try and replicate that with my 1 GB card. Hopefully there is a magic set of parameters.
---------------------
Solution from Post #11:
Ok, my Dell Laptop slot/driver was the problem. With some trial and error, I formatted my 1 GB card on a USB driven SD slot on a Vista machine. It took about a minute to format it with FAT32 and the allocation unit size of should be set 1024 (the default size did not work!).
So here are my parameters:
Partition = 1GB
Sector size = 512
Cluster size = 1024
------------------------------------------
Flashing a phone with a micro SD card
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)
Copy the ROM to flash (xxxxxxxx.nbh) to the root of the microSD
Rename the ROM xxxxxxx.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh
Remove card from the PC and insert your card into the phone.
Force into the boot loader with POWER-CAMERA-RESET, release the reset and hold POWER&CAMERA buttons until the tri-colored screen appears
Follow the instructions and you'll quickly flash your Titan...
This will work to flash with an official ROM and radio, I think regardless of the boot loader you have installed. But ensure that you have the correct boot loader (olipro 2.40 for this GPS ROMs) installed for when you do eventually finish with your flashing and are ready to boot into the OS.
Not much help, but I am interested in this also I have tried all of the same methods and can't get mine to recognize the image either.
For documentation sake I have a Kingston 2GB card model#sd-c02g, my card reader in my laptop is Texas Instruments PCIxx12 with driver version 2.0.0.4
just by a card reader none of those programs work wait they do work they format it in 32 but the phone wont pick it up u need to do it on laptop or computer
I haven't had to do this yet, but whenever I'm having issues with partitions and formatting, I always use Gnome Partition Editor: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
Burn and boot that image, you'll need a card reader - but it should do what you need.
I've always formatted my microSD card in Windows XP with a card reader..
REMEBER FAT32, I know you stated it in your message, but I want to stress it again for whoever reads this in the future...
I then insert the card into the phone and copy the nbh file to the card while it is connected via USB.. I don't know why, I just always have...
Then here comes where I think you are having the problem, I havent tested this but I suspect that it is probably case sensitive.. meaning it must be TITAIMG.nbh....
Also, if you have your windows set to hide file extentions and rename the file to TITAIMG.nbh, you are really renaming the file to TITAIMG.nbh,hbh which of course wont work...
Turn off hide file extentions - Open a File Explore Window - Tools - Folder Options - View Tab - uncheck Hide Fiel Extentions for known types in the white box..
Hope this helps, because flashing from sd card is the only way to go.. I'll never risk flashing via usb ever again and it sooo much faster!
Ok I am retrying this from the top.
1)Put the Sd Card in my card reader
2)Right clicked the drive and selected format
3)Formated with Fat32
4)Copied TITAIMG.NBH to device with USB cable through activesync
5)Booted into bootloader
Results:
Breifly goes to Multicolored bootloader and then breifly flashes Loading Rom, No Image File! Then Returns to multicolored boot loader SPL ver 2.40
Not sure if it matters, but the image filenames in posts #5 and #6 are slightly different...

what do you mean by that? the TITAIMG.nbh file should be placed on the root of the SD card while it is still connected to your PC.
Formating SD card for Flashing
Forgot to mention, I have been trying to format these cards from the SD slot in my DELL D430 Laptop. My troubles may be because of that, I'm just not sure at this point. BTW, the cards do not show up under Disk Management, so that option has not been available to me.
What I was looking for were the key physical parameters of Working SD cards.
How Big? Sector Size? and Cluster Size?
Has someone got a 2 GB or 1 GB card to work?
I did copy it to the device while still connected, that is what I mean by copied with USB cable
SD Card Format
Ok, the Dell Laptop slot/driver was the problem. I got it to work by moving my 1 GB card to one of my HP Vista machines and formating it there. It took about a minute to format it with FAT32 and the allocation unit size of 1024 (the default size did not work!).
So here are my parameters:
Partition = 1GB
Sector size = 512
Cluster size = 1024
Can you guys give me hint how to extract the .nbh file from the Sprint package ?
Thanks

Two methods that I have used;
first and simplest is the pc program WinRAR.
second, is to execute the package and once it has extracted the contents and the flashing utility pops up, go search your hard disk for .nbh files, in this package the file you are interested in is RUU_signed.nbh. Typically, they would be located in a temp folder, that is erased once the program completes.

Copy it to the microSD card while it is still in the card reader attached to your PC. If you try copying it from the PC to the microSD card in the phone with the USB cable, it will not work correctly.
So after you format it to FAT32 with the card reader, then copy the nbh file to the microSD card while it is still in the reader. Then take it out and put it in the phone and try it.

well i guess i'm a little old school. I have windows XP and used DOS commands to do most of the work. I connected the card reader to the computer, it assigned the drive letter E: to my SD slot. Your computer may assign it another letter, just double click on MY COMPUTER and find out what letter your computer has assigned to your SD slot. Now replace E: with the letter your computer has assigned (ie instead of E: it may be F: )
1.) click START --> RUN --> type (without quotes) "CMD" (hit enter)
a dos prompt window should pop up
2.) type (without the quotes) "Format e: /u /fs:fat32" (hit enter)
hit enter when it asks you to label the volume
3.) you can go back to windows to drag the image file to the newly formatted SD card.
4.) go back into dos and type (without the quotes) "E:" (hit enter)
5.) type (without the quotes) "ren *.nbh TITAIMG.nbh" (hit enter)
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE HAS AT LEAST 50% BATTERY LIFE!!!

I hope people realize that the new SPRINT ROM has both a new RADIO update along with new version of WM6. from my understanding, if you have an older RADIO and try the new WM6 from the new ROM, your phone will NOT work. If you have not updated the RADIO, you may want to flash it w/the old sprint ROM. Regain functionality, then update with the new Sprint ROM using a PC. This will update both your OS and RADIO. I hope this helps.

what is the file extention of the file you are trying to open with winRAR?
.exe will NOT open with winRAR
.rar, zip, lzh, arc, etc will

Not entirely true. The .exe files shipped out in the firmware are self-extracting files that CAN be opened with winRAR or 7zip. Right-click on the .exe and the context menu should include an "Extract with winRAR" or "Extract with 7zip" option.
ive done every root method and still nothing can someone help

Using a new SDCard (not one you have info stored on) make a new MSDOS partition table and add a 50 MB FAT32 partition as the first primary partition. Then make sure you enable to boot and lda flags.
Any SDCARD larger than 50 MB should work but I used an extra 2GB laying around. You can add other partitions to the card if you want, but it is not necessary to allocate the entire card. Any added partitions would need to be manually mounted on your Nook anyway.
I used GParted on my Ubuntu machine to do this but any formating tool should work.
2. Copy Files onto SDCard
You can grab the files I used here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?dr6bqau194389te
Just UnZip the files directly to the root of the boot partition you created above (make sure flashing_boot.img, u-boot.bin, and boot.img are on the root not the folder SDCARD)
3. Insert SDCARD into NT
Now, with your NT powered off, eject the SDCARD you just created from your computer and insert it into the tablet. Then just turn it on and VOLA! You should now be in CWM!
Symptoms:
With the SDcard (from above) inserted and the NT powered on, the NT shows a black screen for about 3 minutes, and then boots the internal memory.
Removing MLO from the SDcard causes normal NT internal memory booting, so clearly the NT boot process is looking at the correct place on the SDcard (note that the MLO for 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 are identical).
So, unless I am doing something really stupid, there's something different between the two NTs I've owned. Note that "bauwks" had a problem booting from the SDcard, unless he had the USB cable connected, but others have not seen that symptom.
I rooted my NT 16GB by following this post and it worked well:

thamks for the rely but ive tried that already
So you wrote all the files you unzipped from the download to the sdcsrd, inserted the SD into your Nook and rebooted...do you get the box when you reboot?
Just checking, you're holding down both the power button and "n" button when powering on the tablet?

This is too complicated, really.
Just got a used NT16. Previous owner factory restored. Downloaded img file from:
[SD Root] Make 16 or 8GB Nook Tablet Root SD Cards by Albert Wertz [SDNT16or8gbV4.7]
No instructions on how to mount image to SD card for Mac (it says just google it...)
Google did not turn up a clear result.
So I finally Googled the right query: how to burn an ISO on a USB drive on Mac OS X
And in turn gave me this - how to mount the image:
"Directly from the Ubuntu download page (my formatting):
Download the desired file
Open the Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities/ or query Terminal in Spotlight)
Convert the .iso file to .img using the convert option of hdiutil (e.g., hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ~/path/to/target.img ~/path/to/ubuntu.iso)
Note: OS X tends to put the .dmg ending on the output file automatically. Remove the .dmg extension as necessary, mv ~/path/to/target.img{.dmg,}
Run diskutil list to get the current list of devices
Insert your flash media
Run diskutil list again and determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g. /dev/disk2)
Run diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN (replace N with the disk number from the last command; in the previous example, N would be 2)
Execute sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m (replace /path/to/downloaded.img with the path where the image file is located; for example, ./ubuntu.img or ./ubuntu.dmg).
Using /dev/rdisk instead of /dev/disk may be faster.
If you see the error dd: Invalid number '1m', you are using GNU dd. Use the same command but replace bs=1m with bs=1M.
If you see the error dd: /dev/diskN: Resource busy, make sure the disk is not in use. Start the 'Disk Utility.app' and unmount (don't eject) the drive.
Run diskutil eject /dev/diskN and remove your flash media when the command completes
Restart your Mac and press Alt while the Mac is restarting to choose the USB stick"
So.........
I followed the instructions to a tee. I am using a 128 MB SanDisk micro SD card.
I inserted the card in my Nook and powered it off. Put the USB cable in and after many minutes the Nook turned on. All it did was power on like normal. Once, I removed the SD card while nothing was happening (waiting for boot). Intermittently (as a result?), I was unable to turn Nook on at all, thinking it was bricked. So, I tried the SD card again, and again after several minutes it turned on. Have removed the card now and Nook works like normal again.
So, I have a 16GB Nook Tablet with 1.4.3 and would like to root it AND flash Android which may require who knows how many sd cards and various recovery modules. I would like to say I love learning how to do all of this, except these instructions are always written by developers FOR developers. Perfect example is the Bishop of Technology. One page leads to another and then another. There is no definitive answer to be found on his site. My favorite part is where he says "now take out the boot card and insert ("vague") custom ROM. And then says, now you might want to backup (using CWM). This is all on the page for installing Jellybean on 1.4.3. The whole page is a mish-mash of vagueness and redirection. That is why I tried installing directly from XDA instead.
But, like I said, I was unsuccessful. And I'm not willing to risk trial and error or spend another four hours digging around trying to find the meaning of every instruction. How hard is it to go into a bit more detail and include links every time appropriate. (insert custom ROM - this is vague and no link is shown for downloading the custom ROM.)
Should I get a 2GB sd card so I can install 142 (500MB) first?
Maybe rdisk was to fast and corrupted the image?
Maybe try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494367

My Note II, running the latest CM 10.2 nightly, has had a ghost--or Electro--remove the SD card making SD card dependent programs stop working.
I have a 64gb SanDisk card that has been working like a champ since I bought the phone.
Earlier this week, I kept getting errors that my SD card was not available. These errors would come out of the blue, sometimes even when the phone was in its dock. This made Spotify and Camera apps useless.
However, the phone still recognizes that the card is still plugged in.
At no point in time had I touched the actual card physically.
The only way to fix it, is to either pop the batter door, pop out the SD card out and back in, and then force close the apps that depend on it.
Or, reboot the phone.
How do I go about fixing this?
Your card might have become mounted "read only" ....you can fix it in a computer. Do a google search for "sd card mounted read only". It has happened to me before. It happens sometimes when one or more files on the card become corrupted....the fix will not erase your card.

I had feeling that it would be something related to the writability of the card.
Seems that this is a common problem, but none of the solution threads showed up in my searches.
From here, we have the following:
Fix the FAT
- connect device to your PC (USB connection) and make sure it’s set so that you can copy files to/from your computer (on my device in the notification panel there’s an option to do this under “USB connected”)
- on your pc, open windows explorer (or click on start->computer), then right click on the mapped drive to your sd card – you may have to wait a minute or two for the mapping to take effect
- select Properties
- select Tools
- select Check now… (for error checking) to automatically fix file system errors (no need to deal with bad sectors at this time)
- when completed (takes a minute or so), the FAT will be in working order once again. No files are deleted during the process, so no need to worry about that.
- safely disconnect the device from your pc, at which point the sd card will now be mounted read-write and you’re good to go

Once I get home I'll try this out.
I just put it in a SD Adapter and plug it into the computer. Use the same process listed. Worked for me.

I executed a check disk on my sd card and put it back in my phone. The same problem persists. This is rather annoying.
Mine was close to capacity a while ago and exhibited all signs of being toast.
I removed about 20 gigs of music from it, and it came back to life.
Good luck.
Hmm, I'll give it a try. The SD card is pretty full with all the TWRP and Titanium backups ...
I tried everything under google's radar, and I cannot get this to work. The car simply does not like to be written on, cannot be formatted, an check disk does nothing.

I looked up my order on Amazon, and then at the product reviews for the card. I stumbled upon this thread: http://www.amazon.com/review/RUM36X...IN=B009QZH6JS&nodeID=172282&store=electronics
Seems like it is time to call Sandisk and get this card RMAed
I have fixed this by transferring my card to pc, running a full format via cardreader. and putting my files back. I believe a full format will mark bad sectors. It will take a while though.
If you are having trouble formatting in windows try using a software called gui format.

Hi there.
I think that all android devices support fat32 filesystem, the problems its the storage limitation of 4gb max per file in the sdcard.
I been trying to avoid the limitation of 4gb in all my android devices with this results, giving using different filesystems on my sdcard (ext2, ext3, exfat, ntfs...).
Galaxy s3: supports fat32 and exfat
Chinese tablet aoson m7: Suppots fat32 and ntfs
Chinese phone Lenono A760: Suppots only fat32.
Andoid its based on linux, but none of my devices recognice the sdcard with ext2 or ext3 formats.
Also I don't understand why only the chinese tablet supports NTFS. It's because they paid to microsoft so they can use that filesystem?
How it's possible that any device supports a free filesystem like ext3???
I think that I will get rid of the lenovo a760...I need to use files larger than 4gb.
thank you
Looks like you could root it and enable USB OTG support for a little pen drive or something of that sort. How often are you really going to need that many files bigger than 4 GB on your phone?

To mount ext partitions automatically, I think you also have to be rooted and run an auto-mount script (or manually via terminal commands). This is not for your phone, but provided as an example and info:

Thanks, I want to use my phone as bittorrent client, that why i need to use big files often. I'm root.
I don't have a USB OTG cable...
I have the sd card with ext4 format as primary partition and it's not working.
I think that it's not an easy way to use files biger that 4 gb in this chinese phone.
I also tried to NTFS format and this tool https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter&hl=es and the phone freezes often...it's not a solution at all.
It's frustating that a chinese tablet supports perfectly ntfs and the s3 exfat, but with this phone, ther¡s no way...i been trying all day long! I gave up.
thank you anyway.

It's not dead, the same happened to me but I have been able to fix it.
Follow the instructions from freelancer81 and then go to Disk Management (right click on This PC and choose Manage in the context menu, for Windows 10) and there you will have to create a New Simple Volume. The USB will be correctly recognized and formatted.
After doing the above recommendations, if you are Still unable to fix the USB, download EaseUS Partition Master and delete all partitions on the USB drive then click apply. Then create format the USB and click apply. I was able to fix mine that way.

Very fast system. Everything working including apps and games and all hardware (touchpen/touchscreen/gyro/accele/light/nfc/otg/gamepad/cam/mic/sound/gfx/etc).
Problem: Its not a major problem but the screen dimming or brightness control dosent work and thats the only problem.
The samsung ative pc pro xe700t1c is by far the most superior convertible laptop/tablet in the world!
Request to developers:
Can you please implement the sim function for internet and calling. Also can you please implement a gamepad configuration menu just like the keyboard config menu?
Thank you very much for all the good stuff remix team.

This is a working usb install media creator method for os remix installation and legacy bios circumventing all known errors made for noobs including USING full drive internal storage space etc.
You will be able to use this usb stick for future creation of other usb install media
you will have the choice to also install to hard drive
you will need 2 x usb drives and require drive write speed to be higher than 10 mb/s
the first drive will be the installer drive and the second will be the actual usb drive used to run remix os.
For first drive basic fat 32 install you will need rufus 2.9 usb boot media creator
after creation of the installer drive keep it safe i reccommend you use a 4gb drive $4/£2 off ebay but get something thats got a write speed higher than 10 mb/s or else install will fail!
Format the second drive to your liking ext 4 for example on your pc with minitool partition or acronis disk manager (make sure the drive is formatted as primary and set to active flag)
1. Create fat 32 usb boot disk with first usb drive and rufus 2.9 and the remix os iso
2.make sure after creation you boot up the usb drive and enter remix os then shutdown and boot up again to write the config files
3.make sure you dont boot up the ufi version of the boot up, only use the legacy version (it will have ufi next to boot drive in bios usb boot up list)
4.after you enter remix os go to settings and download the update (ota) (this is the main fix)(if this update fails you cannot proceed further with instructions)(DOSENT APPLY TO REMIX OS 3.0+ INSTALLATION)
5. After ota update reboot and enter remix os again and let android upgrade
6.after this stage is complete your fat32 remix os usb bootable drive is ready to create a usb drive that runs remix os from the drive itself.
7.insert the second drive in a usb hub and boot up the computer with both drives in the computer and boot from the first drive (the usb remix os installer drive)
8.boot up and at the grub boot menu (it should look blue with yellow writing not the black ufi version) press tab and type: INSTALL=1
9. then press enter then you will enter usb media creation menu select scan usb drives and select the second drive (the remix os running drive)
10. It will ask you what you want to format the drive as so select do not format option (becus you already formatted it)
11.then it will ask you to install first grub boot menu say yes
12. Then it will ask you to install second boot grub efi menu say yes
13. Next it will ask you if you want to format the boot partition or something like that say *** no ***
14. Then it will ask you if you want read/write privelage say yes
15. It will proceed to write the remix os onto the drive
16. When finished it will ask to restart (at this point i just switch the pc off by holding power button then restart and boot off the new second drive to run the os from it already upgraded too)
note: If wanting ntfs version of remix os then its a little complicated than this and you will need to use imgtools to increase the data.img file on the ntfs drive after creation with the first usb media creator drive.
The remix os ota update addresses the boot media creation errors. After the ota update all drives created with the grub menu installer boot up as they should but only ufi boot up option hangs!
Hope this helps hit the thanks dont forget so i know how many people were helped by this! enjoy.
I have the ativ pc pro xe700t1c the uk version with intel core i5 quad core and its also a convertible tablet with msata ssd as hdd drive and as you all probbaly know android was created for fast flash memory and linux format os so the best combination is an ssd and ext4 linux file format. I have a 64gb 544 mb/s msata drive in a usb 3.0 enclosure which i use to boot remix os and run it off it. Its perfectly smooth and fast enough 5 secs to boot and the ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet is fully compatible hadware software wise, no problems at all. The 5 year old Ativ pc pro gets 119,000+ score in antutu benchmark same as the latest LG G5 with the latest adreno 530 gpu/snapdragon 820 cpu which costs approx £600 now in retail!!! I bought the Ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet for only £200 two weeks ago with accessories (ethernet dock etc) worth alone £100 on its own off ebay!!! On top of all that its also a windows 10 pro convertible laptop/tablet system which on its own without android was initially worth £1200 five years ago and still costing approx £500 even now in retail. So what im trying to say here is that for only £200 i get a £600 android 6.0 laptop/tablet and i also get a £500 windows 10 pro laptop tablet ALL IN ONE. Muahahahahahaha haaaaa hahahaha kekekeke.

I was trying to install remix os for PC,Midway it stopped working at 96%,and I closed it.I Went back to Format the USB drive re install it.Suprisingly the 8GB USB drive is now 3GB.Any help.
I was installing
ver. 2.0.102 on Windows 10.

Its quite simple task by using "diskpart".
Step 1- Open disk part by typing "Diskpart" in search.
Step 2- Run it as administrator.
Step 3- Type "list disk"
Step 4- You can see you USB drive there as disk no. 1 or 2, I recommend you to insert only one USB drive at a time so that you may not get confused.
Step 5- You can identity your USB disk by its size like 15 GB etc.
Step 6- Type "select disk disk no."
Note that you should type only a no. for disk no. like in my case I type "select disk 1"
Step 7- Type "clean".
Step 8- Type " create part pri"
Step 9- Type "select part 1"
Step 10- Type "format fs=ntfs quick" for NTFS file system
Or " type "format fs=fat quick" for FAT file system
Step 11- After completing format you can make it acrive means bootable which is an option for that type "active"
Step 12- Type "exit" because everything is done.
Submit me request for omissions and hit like if it works. And also report me if there are any errors may be I forgot any command to mention.
Use Ease US Partition Master
I had the same problem.There is a very easy and fast way to fix that
Just download the free edition of Ease US Partition Master from the internet from it's official site
Then use the Partition Master and delete all the partitions from the USB stick ( I think they are 3).
Format the stick through Partition Master (FAT 32 is better)
That's it. Or alternatively you can delete the 2 partitions and then expand the first one till it reaches the original usb stick size in GB.
After formating the stick then you can retry installing Remix OS
Orrrr instead of installing unnecessary programs, sice you're already in diskpart...
> select disk #
> clean
> create partition primary
> select partition 1
> active
> format fs=[ntfs/fat32/etc...] label=RemixOS
Edit: Gah, Venjex beat me to it!

It's not dead, the same happened to me but I have been able to fix it.
Follow the instructions from freelancer81 and then go to Disk Management (right click on This PC and choose Manage in the context menu, for Windows 10) and there you will have to create a New Simple Volume. The USB will be correctly recognized and formatted.
