Flashing ROM from SD?

[Vukile]

Does anybody know the method to flash a ROM for the Gene from the SD card?I tried transferring an NBH file via bluetooth,then I put the device in bootloader but it didnt work.

Make sure ur sd card is in fat32 format, preferably blank is good! and make sure its 2gb or under (only sd not sdhc).

Good luck.

Already did all of that.Tried to flash from a 1Gb and a 2Gb formatted in FAT32.Bootloader just hangs therc.How long is it supposed to take?

[timmymarsh]

mm thats wierd. Does it just hang on the bootloader and do nothing else?

Have you renamed the nbh file correctly? And its on the root directory of you sd card, not in a folder?

notice you need to name it ****img.nbh according to your device and not just go into bootloader but go into the screen allowing you to flash from your SD (you can find the comination in the gene section).

also, you should make sure the gene supports this feature as not all devices do.

Hey Nir,

I sad to say but i have this in my polaris too :(

I have followed my own instructions (and yours) i just cant get it to flash. Combination for polaris is bootloader then press power button. The screen flashes up "loading" for a brief moment then goes back to bootloader screen. I have tried renaming to POLAIMG.nbh with no luck, card is 2gb sdhc (i know the hc is sometimes a problem, but many people with 8gb sdhc cards have gotten it to flash).

I cant flash in from my laptop as i have sophos and even with admin rights, its a bugger and just quarantines the ruu file (its hard to turn off completely so card flashing is the easy way......... or should be!!)

I guess re-formatting the card is the only next solution, but any others?
