hi there i have created 2 videos part 1 and part 2 of the wp7 flashing guide. sorry but i have realised my webcam i recorded with has flipped the video left from right so you cant read what i am doing but you can see what i am doing. also i will wright up a step by step guide on how to do this so you have a video and some wrighting
PART 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR1JLoyNgqg
PART 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiZoN8K7M8k
MAKE SURE YOU A 100% CHARGED UP AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A COFFEE WITH YOU FOR THE FLASHING PROCESS
LIKE I SAY THERE WILL BE A DETAILED STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO GO WITH THE VIDEO ALONG WITH THE FILES TO DOWNLOAD ETC
step 1
with a turned off tg01 and the nokser wm6.5.x rom on your tg01 press and hold the camera and power buttons to show a white LED and a black screen
step 2
Plug into usb and start up tg downloader. make sure your tg01 shows up in the port section, then click browse
locate the file wp7boot.bin then select open.
Click download mode and dont worry if tg downloader crashes if you see my video it happens to me. just keep closing and re trying tg downloader until when you
click download mode it says 100%
step 3
tg downloader may have crashed again just like in my video so again restart it and then click start download when it has finnished it may pop up an error just ok it and
disconnect tgo1 from usb and remove battery for a second. connect battery and hold power and camera buttons until there is a blue led and black/no screen
step 4
Reconnect your tg01 to usb and open the folder base_source_bootloader. Iside there will be a program tsunagi_ffu, right click this and run as administrator and wait for it to load
step 5
follow the onscreen prompts and wait for this to flash it may take a while as you can tell from my video part 2
step 6
when all is done it will say success or something, then it should start to boot wp7 when you get to the screen where there is a circle windows logo with white wrighting
just disconnect your usb so it doesnt interfeer with anything.
and there you go enjoy !!!!

I just watched your part 1 and it is bizarre trying to follow along the mirrored video. I look forward to your pdf when you post it...hope it's not backwards as well!
Cheers!
UPDATE - I downloaded part 1 video from Youtube, opened it in VLC player and was able to flip it horizontally. It's still hard to read because of the low resolution.
yes i am sorry my webcam mirrored the video haha i will have a pdf file up today with detailed instructions so you can read the instructions while watchin the video
i have successfully flashed my tg01 to wp7 and back again to wm6.5, 7 times altogether now i use my own method in the video and i find its 95% safer than any other method i have tried
Instructions are up just need to upload all the files
Btw did you get any method to revive the SD card after installing wp7?

If you install WP7 with SD card in, your card will get formatted and will be unusable at all, you would use it only in your wp7 phone and nowhere else, any other phone, card readers etc don't even see it.
It's possible to reformat the card with Nokia symbian or MAGLDR but we don't have both (some have nokia but not all)

Is it because WP7 uses a new proprietary format? Why can't it be formatted back to FAT32? I R confused!

Because WP7 locks the card to work only with your phone. SD means Secure Digital and it's DRM feature, theoretically unavoidable but symbian can reformat it.

Thanks for the great explanation. I guess I'm still amazed that formatting won't work unless via symbian. This seems to be a case where M$ really didn't think things through by removing the main reason people use swappable memory cards in the first place. I think many WP7 users are going to be screaming bloody murder when they find that their 32 or 64 GB cards have become micro paper weights!

M$ firstly stayed that WP7 won't even support SD Cards or any extensionable memory stuff because thet wanted to keep storage integral, for sure for stability. BUT people or some manufactures like HTC wanted to have in offer phones "that supports SD Card extension!! OMG I LIKE IT" and M$ worked day and night to bring it to us But it's worse than having no sd card at all...

Hmmm...with this development it seems that M$ must believe the cloud is the only way to go for storage. It's not a great idea as so many people don't have high speed Internet access, especially via cell towers. I am in northeast Thailand and we only have Edge cell service here. Then there is the dark side that always trys to find new ways to steal our personal info for nefarious reasons. IMHO, regarding cloud computing, we ain't there yet!

ok my phone is HTC 8525, with WM 6.1 professional . It worked fine for 3 days then it start freezing , before it does that a blue background will appeare ,then it will not let me do anything at all . When I try to touch an icon, it will say something like invalid location or could not find target . I have to hard reset it. sometimes I have to reset it 4 or 5 times a day . , In addition, the mini card will freeze the whole phone is there is a solution like reinstall the whole thing ? please help me I truly appricat it . In addition, the mini card will freeze the whole phone is there is a solution like reinstall the whole thing ?
Hmmm, "the mini card will freeze the whole phone"??? Are you referring to the SD Storage Card? Do you have any volatile data stored on the card? Any Today Screen Applications?
If this is the case, try shutting off the phone and removing the card. Then place the card into a card reader, and plug it into your PC. Make a folder on the desktop of your PC, and COPY all the contents of the SD card to the folder.
Now, reformat the SD card in your PC, as FAT32, and default for all characteristics.
Once reformatted, copy all that stuff back onto the SD card from the temp folder on your desktop, making sure everything is returned to it's original locations. Pop the SD card back into your phone and see if it's fixed. Sometimes, corrupted space on the SD card will make the phone behave very badly. Hopefully, this procedure might fix it for you.
-pvs
Yes Sir, i apaologize , i was refering to the SD card . i am just tierd resetting the phone every 4 hrs . do you recomend any shops that can fix the soft -ware . i notices when i start the phone and i go to clean tmp it will say" 8 Fils and 4 folders of 656 Bytes cleard ! . then 5 hrs later the blue screen comes back
After doing what pvs said, and if you still have problems I'd check for bad blocks with MTTY... I would also ,after confirming no bad blocks, would flash a stock rom then reflash wm 6.1 and see if that helps... Cheers...
Wow , how to do all that if you dont mind me asking , actually i took the SD card out i am not in need for it at the moment . can you please help me to do what you said and i truly appreciat it , Great thanks for both of you gents
pvs already says what to do in his previous post...
To check for bad blocks follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377389
To Flash a stock rom you need to know what carrier the phone was on. Download the wm6 update from their site and, Making sure you have Hard SPLed your phone, I suggest flashing via the sd card method. Its safer than flashing through pc.
Format sd card fat32. copy .nbh file of the stock rom (you may have to search for it) onto the sd card and rename to "hermimg.nbh". Put back in hermes and reset to bootloader (power button, OK button above flywheel and soft reset with stylus. Hold all buttons until it goes to tri-colour screen). It should recognise the os flash and load up a screen showing 1st boot screen, 2nd boot screen, gsm And os (or something like that as cooked roms don't generally have the gsm part). MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 50% BATTERY!!!!! Follow the prompts... I generally use the sd card method to flash ALL my roms so I don't have problems like usb disconnecting or pc rebooting/hanging or power failures.
Hope this helps you out, Cheers...
BASELABBAS ... Please describe what you are doing when you say that you are "HARD-RESETTING" several times a day. Are you:
1) poking the stylus into the hole at the base of the unit?
- or -
2) holding down the two soft-keys WHILE poking the stylus into the hole until the confirmation screen appears, and then opening the keyboard and typing 'R' and then [SPACEBAR]?
If you are doing the first ... this is called a SOFT reset. The second is a HARD-RESET, and will wipe the phone clean of ANYTHING outside of what came with the ROM itself.
Since you have posted that you already removed the SD Card from the device, and can (for the time-being) live without it, I recommend you do an ACTUAL Hard Reset (backup anything you need to keep first) via step #2 above, and then be patient about installing any apps. I wouldn't do anything more than sync it up via ActiveSync with your contacts for the first few of days. If things start to go crazy without any third-party apps installed, then I would look into the steps that ultramag69 has suggested ... starting with a flash to a stock ROM.
WM6.1 has been a bit shaky on our Hermes thus far. Some people are getting good results, but a lot of others are having issues like you are describing. I would suspect that your ROM might not be a good match, before I'd suspect bad blocks at this point (and it's a bit easier to test for).
If the stock rom does better on your device, you can try flashing back up to a WM6.1 ROM after that. And if you haven't already, make sure that you have installed HARDSPL before doing any of this stuff.
Good luck,
-pvs
Mr. pvs , I am doing the #2 holding down the two soft-keys WHILE poking the stylus into the hole until the confirmation screen appears, and then opening the keyboard and typing 'R' and then [SPACEBAR]. I tried to download Hard-SPL 1[1].10, when I open it on my PC it will give me instructions then when I press upgrade I will see 4 color screen the Sync icon will disappear and then it will say that it lost connections.
it looks like i need to update
this what is say
From :
Image Version : TNT.19199
to
image version 2.05.255.1

OK, well that's definitely a Hard Reset. So your WM6.1 Rom is acting flaky right aftwerwards, eh? I would say it's time to try a different ROM, as we've been discussing above.

No ... try Hard-SPL-V7.zip found at the bottom of THIS PAGE. I THINK you can flash it via the SD method if ActiveSync isn't working for you (if not, somebody please correct me). To do this, open the downloaded ZipFile with WinZip or WinRAR and copy the file inside named RUU_signed.nbh to your desktop. Rename it HERMIMG.NBH, and copy it to the root of your freshly reformatted (FAT32) Storage Card. Put the Storage Card into your device and press the side OK button and the power button simultaneously while resetting with the stylus until the tri-color screen appears and turns white. The device will find the HERMIMG.NBH file and offer to upgrade by pressing the Power Key. This will install HardSPL onto your device without the need for ActiveSync. You can also flash ROMs in this manner.
Again, good luck,
-pvs
No, You need to run a file from the phone itself to install hard SPLvia sd card. You can find it on page 116 of the hard SPL or how not to brick your hermes thread.

Dear members
I was really very desperate to try my hands on ROM upgrading since I got my Atom life. But inspite of all ROM being available here I am not able to upgrade my ROM because it has to be done through mini-sd. I don't know whats going wrong but here are the issues I have faced:
1.I am not able to get the Record+Reset working on my Atom life.
2.I have found somewhere in this forum that 2gb minisd does work. is this correct?
3.Can there be any alternative way to get this device upgraded like we use to do in HTC devices.
I wish to know from all the users if they are having answers for these questions.
This is a must have for a thread for Atom, but couldn't find any dedicated solution to this procedure of upgrade.
Hope to get some solution soon.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What you see above were the most expected questions of a newbie to ROM upgrading in O2 Atom Life[O2 comet]
Here is the most simple guide in upgrading the device. This is based on my personal experience so any deviation ca be expected in case you do it yourself. But most of the steps are just ubiquitous in case of any attempt at upgrading the ROM in Atom Life[O2 comet]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS:
Formatting card & setting the file type to fat16 or fat on your PC or with the help of any pocket pc application.
Then you need to copy the file[xxx.DIO] on your memory card[not in any folder] Just reset the device pressing record[in right middle side] along with stylus in the softreset hole[in the left botton side]
Take Stylus out first & then keep pressing the record button until black screen with minisd detect appears.
Thats it. Now it will start installing the ROM from the memory card.
Things to remember:
1.get 1gb or less card[2gb won't do at times]
2.Format it in windows or in your ppc in either fat or fat16 format[don't do fat 32 it won't work]
3.Copy the file on the memory card[not to any folder in it]
Hope the guide will help you & you will have no problems in updating the phone reply if there is any problem.

Hi guy, can only adv you the pt(1) + (2)...
1.I am not able to get the Record+Reset working on my Atom life: You must Press Record + Reset, leave Reset first.
2.I have found somewhere in this forum that 2gb minisd does work. is this correct: Yes, I always use 2G SD to up ROM (make sure there's no any file in SD excepted AL1.DIO)
Good luck!
I didn't get you my friend. plz be more clearer.
1. Press Record + Reset, then leave Reset first but still keep pressing Record. AL will be in Bootloader mode for yr up ROM by SD.
2. For up ROM by SD, I always use 2G SD to up ROM (make sure there's no any file in SD excepted AL1.DIO).
3. AL can support 4G SD w/o no any problem, not yet test for 8G SD.

Anybody tried 8gb microsd with minisd adaptor. Actually I wish to post results myself but the problem is that its not available in my city so have to order from ebay so a bit reluctant if it doesn't work.
Thanks & Regards

My suggestion. Keep a smaller mini SD for flashing and a higher capacity card for other purposes. From my personal experience of using a 4GB card. Read is quite slow at times. It could also give issues while booting if you install applications on memory card.
I think I have no other option but to buy one. Hope it won't turned out to be a bad deal.
@maniac, bro why you have this slow reading problem when I don't imagine this can be there in such a high model PPC.
Moreover let me confirm everybody once again that the 2gb minisd won't work for ROM upgradation but 1gb does work like charm so try it w/o any doubts. It is confirmed as I have experimented with few of the phones.
I don't know if this may help you:

Speed of the processor has got nothing to do with the SD card reading speed. It all depends on the card driver. My 4 GB is a pain at times.

Oh Poor dib,
Mate this handset seems to me is identical to O2 Atom phone. So its better if you just check out a similar thread catering to Atom users. Try Wiki if it can help. We are users of Atom life which is not the phone which you are asking about. I could have helped you had it been an HTC phone which I used for long time. But this is my first O2 phone so can't help much. Hope someone knows about this problem comes out with its solution. Good luck brother.

Just out of curiosity, do you have an external storage card inserted?
I inserted a 1gb miniSD from FAT32.
I think you have not followed the instructions carefully. Follow the instructions by formatting card & setting the file type to fat16 or fat on your PC or with the help of any pocket pc application. Then you need to copy the file[xxx.DIO] on your memory card[not in any folder] Just reset the device pressing record[in right middle side] along with stylus in the softreset hole[in the left botton side]
Take Stylus out first & then keep pressing the record button until black screen with minisd detect appears.

1) how do i install ROM (themes) on my Touch Dual (20 key)? i see a one on here that i want to install but i have no clue how.
2) where would i find drivers to get my PC to pick up my phone, I don't have a working CD-Rom on my work computer and would like my PC to pick up my phone.
Sorry for being a complete n3wb but i just pick this phone up, and after being in the RIM world for four years i'm a winmo idiot.....
1) If you only need a theme don't flash. But new ROMs will provide you so many good thing that you should give them a try. Read the sticky about how to flash hardSPL then you'll be able to change ROM as you want.
2) If you're on XP install ActiveSync 4.5 or more. On Vista, I think Windows Mobile Device Center is installed by default, if not install it
PS : you're not an idiot, asking questions is the purpose of the forum

Okay lets say i want This ROM on my phone how do i go about doing it.
I looked at the sticky's titles and didn't see anything remotely close to a subject line comparing to what i was looking for.
For Android it's different : format a SD card to FAT32, then extract the ZIP content to its root, then launch haret.exe and wait for Android to launch.
Be carefull, since it's not a cold boot, it's very slow

Sure , sd card is working in card reader, also i've tried to plugging other sd's... it simply, doesnt see any sd ....
is it possible to mount sd manualy, somewhere like android configs (text files like in linux) ??
Send it back to HTC. Sounds like the reader in the phone has packed up.

The problem is - that i bought my hero in Shanghai (it was allready rooted, and oriented to sell in france Now i'm in Moscow, i called HTC Service Center and they told me that i have to wait for couple a weeks, because they dont have card reader modules to test it. I have no much time to wait, cause i'm going back to china soon in Sept. In china there are no HTC official service centers , only in Taiwan. In China HTC models are selling under the "DOPOD" trademark and i think they provide their own firmware with it (maybe i dont know). For me its a little bit complicated to describe all my problem in chiniese =) So i'm trying to find other ways to understand origins of this problem by myself...
I understand that it looks like hardware problem, but i need to be sure (because bootloader can read sd cards), so i have two questions here:
1)When bootloader starts to check roms or updates on sd card it is looking for: HIRODIAG.ZIP,HIRODIA3.NBH,HERODIA2.NBH,HIRODIAG.NBH,HIROIMG.ZIP . HIROIMG is a firmware, but what about the others? Maybe i could launch a diagnostic tool here to check my system ?
2) Are u sure there are no android configs that i can access through command promt using sdk tool usb drivers?
Thanks everyone who is trying to help me, i'm really appreciated!
Ah i missed the bit about it working in bootloader. Interesting. This would suggest it is less likely to be hardware as it doesn't perform that check when a sd-card is not inserted.
But you get nothing in recovery? Have you tried re-flashing/updating your recovery? Assuming you can put the file on the sd card.
Alternatively try flashing the official HTC WWE rru for v1.5 and see whether doing via rru is any better.
This could be a windows driver issue. Have you tried a different computer?

Recovery? u mean before i flashed official FW? NO i couldnt mount/unmount sdcard from there also.
I've tested other computers. When i connect computer and phone with usb cable windows gives me a popup window that it coudnt recognize the device. HTCSYNC, RRU tool, sdk with usb drivers nothing could see it. There is only one way to flash fw - via BOOTLOADER installation WAY
I was working with linux distributives long time ago , and i remember simillar problems there, like mount/unmount hemorrhoid . And Android is based on linux , and looks like bootloader is booting before linux thats why it works there. It seems that android fw is just a top of the iceberg, and when you flash fw probably this does't affect linux CORE....
I might be mistaken , imnot good at linux and all this stuff , thats why iam asking for help here on xda-developers, maybe someone knows ... linuxoids? ))
Or maybe i should post it somewhere else just tell me ...
I've somehow lost all the data on my sdcard.
Device is an LG G2 D802, running stock lollipop 5.0.2
I had my phone hooked to pc and all was OK.
Then I tried accessing a folder (after being ble to) and an error popped up on windows, I can't remember what, something along the lines of "the device cannot be accesses".
I then disconnected the USB...without first clicking safely remove...so, yes, it probably is my own fault.
Please don't point this out!
How can I retreive my data. I'm more concerned about pictures and videos.
I've tried a few apps, but aren't having much success.
A lot of files don't display correctly
Any help is appreciated
Anyone got any advice?

I have a great working solution for you.
I know a computer software that can extract your images, videos and everything in its original form.
It works on windows.
You have to connect your SD card with the help of card reader.
(Scan and recover)
Below is the direct download link for the software.

Hi thanks.
But as my device doesn't physically have an sdcard, its a virtual card as far as in aware.
And the back of the phone doesn't come off.
When I connect to PC the phone shows as a device, not a drive

Yeah, like I say in OP, ive tried a few, but either the files arent recover or they don't show properly. They display either half the picture, or just as a big grey block
