creating a sd backup card without connection to the computer

[cr0ssy]

hi,
so unfortunately all the threads and tutorials i found about that were something with mtty and
stuff where you had to connecte the device actually to the computer. My problem is that the
only way my device stays in bootloader mode is if it is plugged in to the regular charger.

On the usb connect device it just flashes and turnes off after a couple of seconds.
So if I could write a backup onto the sdcard I could reload it from the bootloader.
Something like they have for the hermes where you copy the file on the sd card.
The only thing is that I can't connect the device to the computer, I have a cardreader though.

Cid stuff is no problem. I'm not sure if theres a way with pdswrite but all I see starts with
close wcseee....exe so active sync connection is closed but I want to get the backuprom
from the computer onto the sd card. So does anybody know a way for that?

thanks,
cr0ssy (and i'm not a pro so I can figure things out but I don't exactly get
through the instructions for pdsread for example and I don't know how to use perl.)

sounds like your battery is dead, thats why you need your charger.

anyway, on the ftp site under my name there is an SD image which you can write to an sd card, however its for a G3
let me know if you have a G4, i can make a dump for you.

Thanks,

Hi Jesterz,
can upload a G4 version, 'because I seem to have ruined my first G4...
TIA

I have a g4 version, too

thanks for your help man

yeah but the battery itself can't be dead can it? I mean its probably about the driver...and i have the charger thats how i can get permanent into the bootloader mode I thought its probably more about the driver. Its weird though that the wizard crossbow rom works for some people and some people not.

anyways I have a vodafone vpa compact s with g4 and it bricked my phone for now... ^^

naah actually if it would have no connection to the battery it wouldn't start at all without recharger and it starts it just turns off after a couple of seconds so its more like very low battery... but without the battery it doesn't blink at all^^

Any news about a dump for a G4 Prophet? It would be better if I have such a dump so that I can test a WM6 rom without getting panic that it can failed and my new XDA Neo is dead!

guys , i have the same prob as u , can only connect to bootloader using mains charger, otherwise it will just hang and flash blue/orange led. You have to use the '2 wire charger solution' posted in this forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292667 . It helped me unbricked my 818pro! Although i can now boot into my newly flashed os, but i will still encounter hang (blue/orange flashing led and blank screen) whenever i try to soft reset thru usb power. I will need to connect to mains charger in order to soft reset and boot into the system!

Try it and let me know if u encounter the soft reset problem too.
