Hey guys!
Is anyone with an german shift able to dump his recovery partition and to upload it?
Thanks in advance!!!
My Shift still has its German recovery partition.
If you tell me, how I can dump that partition and upload it somewhere, then I could do it for you
Not sure about the recovery part - just did it the easy way. do a backup with acronis before first run and voila. Just one CD to recover them all. Send me a PM.

Thank you for your help!
As far as I know you first have to make recovery partition visible:

then just backup the partition with Acronis found here:

Tell me if it works
Hey guys
The volume rocker on my HD2 is broken, and I have cLK flashed on my device. My problem is that I can only boot into cLK and fastboot mode as recovery is useless to me because I cant navigate through the options using the volume rocker.
I am looking for a rom (android/winmo) that is a .img file so that I can flash through fastboot, or if any of you know any other possible way I can flash a rom through fastboot so I can get my phone working again. Right now I dont mind which rom I flash, as long as I get my phone in working order again.
All help is GREATLY appreciated....!!!
If anyone also knows how I can compile a rom into a .img file so I can flash through fastboot, that is also welcomed help!
Any ROM you download that is for cLK has a. img file in it. you will have to extract the file from the. zip hou download to find it. Read my post here it will give youthe details on how to flash your ROM.

Hey bud, thanks for the reply, but my question still remains... what about the other 2 folders in the rom folder (META-INF and SYSTEM) what happens with those? lol....

Sorry for the late response but those two files do get used, the img file oules the information from them as it is flashing. To put it simply when you initiate the flash the img does the rest of the work. The img file is sort of like a cab file for Windows Mobile only it is not all self contained and has more functions than just to install the software. Note I said sort of not exactly like, that is just a comparison to help you understand. When you flash a Android ROM via CWM it essentialy just activates the img file to flash the ROM.
Daf roms come as a system.img
or
if you have access to another hd2, flash the target rom to it and then use mkyaffs2img command in the terminal to dump the system folder to a system.img file.
Benefit of this would be you can tweak the rom(reduce size for example, by removing unwanted apps) before you dump to system.img

Thanks for getting back to me buddy! Unfortunately I dont have a second HD2, and I dont know anyone willing to help me out in Greece, lol... Would you be willing to dump your system folder for me and upload it so I can use yours?? I would GREATLY appreciate the help... sitting with my HD2 "semi" bricked... lol
Also, if I use the .img file from the DAF roms, can I flash it using fastboot??? You have any suggestions on how I can flash it considering I cant use the volume rocker on my mobile?
Well id like to say yes but it's Easter weekend and my sons 1st birthday tomorrow, so the likelihood of getting near a PC are slim for a few days.
You could always learn how to use the android emulator,, build the image on a virtual hd2
As for flashing,,, no idea, no clue what fastboot does, magldr for me, but in your OP you implied you could use it to write img files to partitions.
You ever got a solution for this? I'm in the exact same situation right now.
To avoid filling the forum with question i'm just going to create this thread and ask all my questions here.
I finally rooted my nexus 7 on my mac and now am hoping to install a USB ROM, i couldnt post a link but it seems to be most popular for in car installs.
I downloaded the file and compressed it to a .zip file then tossed it onto the android. Next i booted into clockwork recovery the selected install zip from sd card>Choose zip from sd card> 0/>cm-10.zip>yes - install cm-10.zip
After this the tablet says
Finding update package...
opening update package...
installing update...
installation aborted...
Can anyone help me and/or tell me what i'm doing wrong? all help is appreciated. Thankyou

A more acceptable procedure is to find - via SEARCHING - closely related threads first, and post your questions in those threads. That demonstrates to people that you've actually tried to help yourself by searching. If you actually have something unique to say, in that circumstance you start a new thread.
"Help me install a ROM" is not a new idea here on XDA, whether you have a problem with it or not.

It's already a .zip file to begin with when you download it. Is your Mac uncompressing it automatically when you download it?
If so, use something other means (not Safari?) to download it. FTP. Wget. Firefox for Mac.
Then, if the ROM developer publishes rom file MD5 signatures, validate that you can compute the same checksum on the file downloaded to your computer.
If you then subsequently copy it to something else (such as the tablet), check the file length and/or the MD5 signature of the copied file as well.
Was there not some additional message on the screen besides "installation aborted"? Details are important.
The most probable guess at the moment (from your narrative) is that you borked the download and/or did something else that made the custom recovery unhappy.
BTW, when you install a new ROM for the first time, you generally:
(a) make a full Nandroid backup first (using the custom recovery)
(b) perform a "factory reset" in the custom recovery,
(c) flash of the ROM file.
Attempting the last step without the first two is just begging for trouble.
good luck
Hi everyone.
ive just uploaded a stock android 5.1 rom that i had from the supplier
You must backup your imei before flashing. nvram.bin. i will not be help responsible for any imei loss. and i will not explain how to recover an imei either.
download the zip and extract the folder . rename the folder to ROM. now move the folder to root of c:\ ( it will not work unless the files are structured c:\ROM\)
when flashed using standard flashtool, it will erase your device as it has to be repartitioned to work. so be waned, BACKUP YOUR IMEI OR NVRAM.bin

Ps. i can only hold the file for 1 month. so if someone else could upload this file to another share would be much appreciated.
thankyou so much for getting back to me, i will flash it when i get home

Hi, I'm trying to find as much information as possible about what a Debrick.img file contains, but I do not find as much information as I'd like. I asked for an IMG in the subforum of my mobile, but I do not know if someone will listen to me.
I have an old copy of all the partitions of my mobile, made with FlashFire.
Exemple of copies of partitions that I have:
boot.lz4
boot.md5
intsd.0002.tlz4
intsd.md5
intsd.tlz4
recovery.lz4
recovery.md5
Could this be useful for building my Debrick.img?
What else would I need?
Please.
Please.
