I have 2 SMT5600s one works fine and i have a good r2sd all image from it to a 1 gig SD card that was written with all 0's before the r2sd all.
I have another 5600 that I need to reimage with the SD card. when I put it in the phone and boot it with the photo button held it asks to run the restore from SD I hit vol down and it starts. it gets past the CRC check and then stops on "downloading splash failed" and will go no further
Any ideas?

hi there. i bought a new class 6 8gb Micro sd card about a week ago.
When my phone was using the class 2 card my phone with an installed rom and was working perfectly. In the following sequence, i started using my new card. formatted the card to FAT32 and then booted into fastboot and formatted it into fat32-ex2-linux. reboot my phone with the new card in still and all it does is loop over and over.
i put my old sd card back in and the phone boots right away. is ther anywhere in the sequence which tells you guys im going wrong and if so can someone please advise me on which way to go?
thank you very much
edit - did a data wipe and fresh install with the class 6 sd card and it does the same again. looping over and over on the boot screen. will be going back to the class 2 for now
for your info this phone is a voda magic. 32b. cheers
this is what i did for my sd card.
-booted into Amon_RA's recovery mode with the NEW sd card.
-formatted it to FAT32 then to fat32/ext2/swap
-wipe data off phone
-pull new sd card out and put another sd card that has your rom you want to flash to
-flash rom
-once flashing is complete, pull out sd card with update.zip and put in NEW formatted card
-Reboot phone
thanks for you reply! unfortunately no luck.
does anybody else have any other ways of doing this?
thank you
bump!!!!!!
i must just have a dud card. even tried putting a nandroid restore image onto it but after the restore, same story.
gutted
quick update on the situation. Wiped the card, reformatted all with new partitions and success! it booted with new rom etc.
after around an hour my phone had turned itself off. only way to turn it back on was to pull the battery and then power on. after around the same amount of time the phone did the same.
i pulled the card. phone powered on and then stayed on. very strange
someone give me some help please!!
thanks
my hermes is not working it wont get passed the loading screen of the IZ light rom and im trying to flash it with an sd card but it doesnt work. I read the wiki and all of the posts and i feel im doing everything right. on the boatloader screen it seems like it wants to work but it says loading no image found for like a split second and then it goes back to the multicolor screen.
it says
herm100
ipl-1.04
herm100
spl-2.10.olipro
any help welcomed and thanks
SD card method...
1.. Format SD card FAT32. Copy .nbh file you want onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh... NO MISPELLING ALLOWED...
2.. Put SD card back into Hermes and reset to bootloader.
3.. Follow the onscreen instructions...
You MUST do this EXACTLY. SD cards come formatted FAT. Mispelling won't be recognised.

You forgot to say use 2Gb or smaller card, NOT an SDHC card
Should we have to at this stage......
I've posted this sooooooooooooooooo many times already....
Thanks!
I just wanted to add my $0.02 here. I am trying to flash my old "No GSM" Hermes with WM6.5, and it was giving me the gray "Loading" for about 0.00002 seconds before flashing back to tri-color boot screen.
Re-formatting as FAT32 did the trick! I'm watching the progress bar right now! So, thanks, ultramag69!
Ah, and just as I finished typing that, I got:
"Update Complete
UPDATE SUCCESS"
Can't wait to see what happens next! Surf Wisely.
New OS will work, "No GSM" problem will probably remain...
You're flashing the OS, NOT the Radio ROM, so the no GSM problem won't be affected.
Hi people, trying to restore a stock SPL after installing HSPL
as the phone is going for an exchange, when i press the vol down button and power the tri color screen comes on and briefly says loading but then goes to the tri color screen again with SPL-1.42.HSPL CotullaHSPL on it.
I have placed leoimg.nbh on the root of the sdcard and it is formatted in FAT32.
I also thought i was holding the vol down button too long but i release as soon as i see the colours but nothing loads still
Any help would be appreciated.
how did you copy the nbh onto the storage card?
i had the same issue and it sounds mad but i think you must put the sd card into the phone and connect it to a PC via cable as a disk drive. Then copy nbh onto the card that way.
Should work after that.
Yeah that's the way I did it already. Need to try and do it before tomorrow morning
ok... maybe i got it wrong... try it the other way... put the card directly into your PC via a card reader and copy the nbh onto it that way.
i had exactly the same issue and it was definately the way i copied the nbh onto the card that was at fault.
Found out it was my 8gb SDHC Memory card, i transferred the leoimg.nbh to a standard 2gb sd card that came with the phone and its updating fine.
Thanks for the help
had a great froyo on the sd card working for months. i tried 7 and want to go back to the sd card version. I have read a need to roll back to 6.5, but when I try to go into the boot logger all it comes up as serial. are there simple directions to flash the chuck light rom back that i loved. realative noob here so please help in simple terms if we can or point me in the right direction. thanks
have you connected the usb cabel.
yes and it stays at serial in the bootloader
instead of running from pc put the files on your sd card and restart phone.

Just stick a stock WinMo rom on root of your sd card and rename it to "leoimg.nbh" then power up into bootloader and flash rom from card.
but when i open the boot loader it says serial, i cant change it to sd card or usb.
are you entering the tri colour screen 3 or 4 different colours on screen.
if you put the file on sd card and rename as above post says you dont need to press anything it will go straight to the LEOIMG.nbh file
somebody need to do a video on it on youtube????????
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrmlqrfCvas
its a 4 color screen
and since the win 7 is loaded it wont allow me to hook it with active sync so i could even put the old bootloader on.
have you tried putting the files on the sd card (format card 1st)
yeah, no luck with the files on sd card.
did u rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
ok. got back to 6.5. went to load android on my 16 gb card, which is now telling me its only 199 mb card...any ideas. stuck it in the computer to see if i could format it and it says its only 200 mb card?
yes when you put 7 on it it messes the card up use sd formatter you will get the full 16 back get it from here http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/eula/
would of been nice a little thank you or summit.TUT TUT TUT.
Hi guys
I think my SD card is not compatible, tho, the installation went trough fine.
When i check device free space, it only provides the ROM space, ie 178MB, altho my card is 2 GB.
I want to buy a new 4GB card.
Can i just then run MADLR again, and reflash the same ROM?
I dont want to brick my device.
Thanks alot!
This is normal, WP7 creates a partition on the SD card which uses all the card except approx. 200mb. If you go to "Settings" and "About" you will see the Memory Card size reported, which should be approx. 1.8GB
To insert a new SD card:
1. With old SD card inserted "reset" the device and boot into MAGLDR by holding down the "END" key as soon as your device starts to reboot
2. When MAGDLR has loaded insert the new SD card
3. Select "Boot WPH" from the MAGLDR menu and the device will reset itself up using the new mem. card.
