No no, if you want to flash an SD image that was created with d2s by
the _HTC_ bootloader, you also have to use the HTC bootloader to write
it back. Plug in the SD card, start the HTC loader with
<Contacts>+<iTask>+<Reset>, and if you are lucky and everything went
right during backup and restoration of the SD card image, it should be
recognized at this point.
