[Q] MAGLDR_UBUNTU_Working

phoenixtraveller said:
Hi... Got Ubuntu working on Magldr - sort of... but can someone tell me why it stops at desktop ubuntu?
I copy all linux files to sdcard \linux and setup magldr sd-boot to here.
COPY (not renamed) initrd.cpio.gz to initrd.gz and adb_zimage to just zImage.
partitioned sd card previously (on another hd2) with 4096-ext and 256-cache with 16gb sd using CLOCKWORK OF COURSE.
NAND=clockwork/blank at the time (also tried DFT-android-flash.cfg/layout/install: does this matter/affect? how does ext2.rootfs mount?)
anyway... YES! It boots...
But can someone help me/make a boot.img+system.img(containing FIXED initrd.gz and zImage) PLEASE - and proper flash.cfg for daf.exe ???
or UPDATE.ZIP for clockwork install ???
Thanks.
Will donate $.

ALSO:
How to mount rootfs.ext2 to YAFFS2/Nand? or even data.img? or sdcard partition ? GpartedLive? Please: just want a simple boot.img+system.img combo that will allow daf.exe to install (correct parts etc) Ubuntu to NAND - and if this not possible then at least cut down version (resize rootfs.ext2 and mount to sd???) for AD SD BOOT. Can anyone please help?
Thankyou.

" NativeSD Installation for Windows Mobile and other OS users :
Code:
1. Boot into recovery by executing the usual clcad and haret stuff inside the Recovery folder
2. Flash the ROM.zip package and follow instructions
3. Reboot and boot the ROM by executing the usual clcad and haret stuff inside the native sd folder"
This was quoted from the first op in the native sd thread. So yes it is possible but please be sure to read that op carefully good luck

first you need 4ext partition on your sd card...Then
Extract and copy 4ext Sd recovery folder from the native sd thread onto your sd card
copy the zip file(dont extract) of your chosen nativesd rom to your sd card....then follow the instructions in above post

Another simple question - Flash the ROM.zip package and follow instructions - What does that mean (Flash the Rom.zip)??
Chris
- Copy nativesd rom package to your SD card for example. "Mokee_V1.6B_NATIVESD.zip". Do not unzip
- Run clrcad.exe and haret.exe from 4EXTRecovery. That will bring you to rom installation menu which you can choose Mokee_V1.6B_NATIVESD.zip

I keep getting an error after I clrcad/haret from within recovery folder
It starts up then:
E:can't find misc
"E:failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
It shows both partitions - ext4 and fat 32 then - "E:failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
If i use install from sdcard in main menu, i just get a blank screen...
Any ideas?

Set-up micdoSD for Android Partition ext3 - Help Pleease.

Hi,
how are you today? For me good, thanks for asking, ha ha ha hanb
It's alredy my second thread for today, all problems, wow.
So I will try to explain, like in the thread before, I got HTC HD2 and I have Mdeejay eVo on my sd card and I launch Android from WM6.5.
The Android which I use have already the data_1024 folder, inside data.IMG file which it use for storage the Androids apps, but from my research I find the news to some how edit my microsd card and set-up a Partition which be the sobstitute of the data_1024.
I will be glad to know HOW?
Like I said, I got my Android on sd and I try for a week to find the solution with no success, I try to make a ext3 partition on sd of 2048mb but the android do not see that partition. I can't flash anything because on my ROM is WM 6.5.
I also will be glad to make another data_2048 folder with inside data.IMG file, if the Partition can't be done.
Please guys let me know how do I have set-up the partition for the Android?
Thanks.
hmmm not really sure here, but you can make a back up of your SD card then use minitool partition to partition & create EXt3/ Ext 4 / Fat 32 partitions, try the links below they might help

before post here I already saw your thread and like I said I do not have MALGDR on my phone or CWM, also I don't know which type of partition need my Android but I am sure is not the last type of Androids which they have the folders; kernel, META-INF, sdcard (inside NativeSD) and system folder. My Android is whit rootfs.img with external data_1024 folder for storage system.
I used Gparted live and I made a partition of 2048mb of ext3 partition but the Android do not see the partition because somehow I can't make a link to it.
I want more storage for my Android and delete data_1024 folder so I try to figure out, with some help, how to do that?
Any ideas?
Use toporesize app on pc to expand your present data img size without losing present data. . To get more space. .No need for ext 3 and all
Search for topo resize
If youwant to use apps 2 sd or link 2sd app from market to use ext 3.. Then you can move apps to sd ... That is for nand installs. . You don't need that on sd builds. ...
You try native sd builds. . Fastest ever.sd builds. . You can boot from wm also . You need ext4 partition for it. ..

Thanks mate, this is something great!
So I do not need a special partition for my android, good to know.
I know the last Nand Androids are good but I have old phone with old Android and he work fine, I try to put Native SD Android on my sd but too complicated and I do not have so much time. At the moment I find Mdeejay very fast and good, I tryed AmeriCan Android, CM7 and 10 and really I am not comfortable with them like with Mdeejay, so it's ok like that. ! problem solver, I just try to update my kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976835 - and I am ok.
Thanks.

End of the Party, Guys, I was happy to soon!
I used toposize to made data.img for my android but I got problems.
If I resize data.img system partition, first of all, I got the error on e2fsck (see the pic) and i have to click ok to compleate the operation and after that I put the data.img into Anrdoid forlder and I replace the original (backups before) but the Android do not turn on, he stuck in HTC Logo.
If I made a clean data.img with ext3 system partition and I replace the data.img into the Android folder, he do not turn on and he stuck in Android logo.
If I use the original data.img from the package the Android turn on normally.
Do I forgot to do something? Do I missing something?
sorry, I forgot the pic.... here we go...

you are keeping data .img in a folder?...data.img should be in android folder..no further subfolders...and delete that stupid ext3 partition..you dont need it.
try native sd..it is very simple (for you to dual boot with windows mobile):
you need ext4 partition..use minitool partition manager to create it
then put selected rom zip (like pacman hd2 rom..."the best rom") on sd card
put 4ext recovery folder on sd card..open it , click clcrad and haret inside...follow screen instructions to install rom
Reboot and boot the ROM by executing the usual clcrad and haret stuff inside the NativeSD folder.
thats it.

ohh, well, yes, the data.img is in Android folder, not subfolders or external folders, I said so because in my package of Mdeejay are 2 folders, Android and data_1024. The data_1024 is all ready done to make a fast boot instantly but if I do not use it Android make the clean data into his root folder.
About the partition you get confused a little bit because when I used toporesize to made a clean data.img file to use it in android folder, the app ask me in which system the file have to be, ext2, ext3 or NONE. So no 1 of this data.img worked.
I hope I clarifide, I do not have ext3 partition on sd, is the data.img. that's all.

I don't know about that, currently I have a working Android (not jet set-up like I want too) but I will see if I sholud do all this stuff. I am not so deep in this stuuf and just reach when I reach now, get me tired. So I take in the consideration you advice but now I have to have 1 android working well.
Ok, some bad news:
I did in different way to set-up my storage image, I let Android to made a clean data.img into his folder, after he finished installation and start running well I take the data.img of 1GB and with toposize I resize the image to 3GB. Like I said before, he give me this crap error but I really do not understand why? If Android made a clean data.img in his folder which errors can be made?
So I click ok anyway and made this file and I replaced the 1GB with 3GB with unclarifide done error fix.
He works for feew hours, smooth and fast, I start installing appps and games. Like many games they ask for downloading some updated files so I start downloading 450mb for 1 game and after 20 minuts Android crashed and he do not turn on anymore, he stuck in Android logo.
Are you sure this crap "TOPOSIZE" working? or it's just ME?
Guys, please help, I get confused and I don't know how to do it.
Today I also try install on my android Chainfire and i can't install plugins for low storage so after few hours of serching I find this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16457164&postcount=14723 but after read what they saying I do not understand anymore which system file I have to resize to get more space AND to make working chainfire which I really need right now for few games!
Someone can tell me which files I have to resize? How? or Post the right thread? please.

[Q] Problem ROM: assert failed: write_raw_image

Hey there,
probably there are some similar threads that I dont understand.
I tried to flash my HTC HD2 with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930240&highlight=4+2)
I followed these steps:
1. I created a EXT4 Partition on my microSD Card
2. I wiped my Phone (Wipe29)
2. I did cLK Repartition with HD2 Android NAND Toolkit ( with exact that Partition Size / Cache that should be used)
3. I installed the cLK Recovery with the Toolkit.
4. I copied the Android ROM in the microSD
5. I opended cLK Recovery and started to Install Android 4.1.2 via SD card (zip file)
--> At the end of the installation it says: assert failed:write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot")
->> Installation aborted.....
What can I do ?
Thanks a lot!
make the boot partition a meg or so larger.

plz, help me to install slimrom 4.3.1

first i m sorry to post question in development. friends, i hv dual boot my hd2 with wp7 and kitkat. Now want to install slimrom 4.3.1. So plz help me....i want to expain in detail what exactly what i did...i deleted all data from sd card then put slimrom zip with 4ext recovery...then formated second partion with ext3...now plz tell me how to convert to ext4 and further steps. Plz help me guys.
@Robbie P and @EvilMegaDroid...plz help me.
Kalpeshavan, please stop posting questions or asking for help in the Development Section. HD2 development is not as popular as it once was, so when we see a new thread in the Development Sub-Forum we get a bit excited, only to see something that shouldn't be there . Perhaps a kind Moderator could move this to the q&a section when they have a moment? Thanks Mods:good:
There was really no need to wipe the sd-card and re-format the existing ext4, NativeSD was designed to allow multiple roms to be able to be booted, you can choose which one you want to boot before each start up (there is an app by datagr that can switch roms (it won't work with the last lollipop rom)). You can have quite a few on larger SDcard.
So, now that you have an ext3 partition, go to 4ext recovery menu, then choose the "EXT3-4EXT-EXT4" option, then "wipe | format -> EXT4", then "format SD-EXT". This should turn your ext3 into an ext4 partition.
Then put the new rom.zip onto SDcard and flash it, choosing NativeSD install.

You mean NativeSD folder not rom?
yes, native sd
plz, help me....infact previous rom kitkat is also not working now...stay on htc logo.
its been a while since i installed any rooms on my hd2 , but i would suggest to do a format of the sdcard and try again with a clean sdcard a nativesd installation
@EvilMegaDroid, i have tried that all. Formated then created....then put 4ext recovery and slimrom.zip. Then boot 4ext recovry then ext3 4ext exp4 then wipe/format then format sd ext.....then install from sd then reboot then boot ad sd ...but my hd2 hangs on htc logo and still unable to install previous rom. What to do? Anyone plz tell me is there any dual boot tutorial for native sd? Plz help. Dont ignore.
try another rom maybe
@EvilMegaDroid, i hv tried my previous rom kitkat by macs18max but now it still not working. Plz help me.or tell me the full procedure again. Please
search this post and you will find the procedure
@EvilMegaDroid, thanx for reply. I search a lot on this forum but no luck. I dont know whats wronge i m doing?....i think ext4 causing problem...why minitool partition drop support for ext4 in trial version? Is there any to do it?
theres no way ext4 causing you the prob since i use that and its fine , you can try another recovery maybe , and theres no way you search alot cuz its on the first page of android forums for hd2 , also if im not wrong Robbie P wrote the instructions for you in this thread
If it hangs on htc screen, push reset button under battery cover, do not pull battery. Then magldr menu/services/dmesg to sd, then post the dmesg.txt you find on the sdcard.
It might help us solve your problem
unfortunately reset button is damage n cant press it...still i m post dmsg file found in sd...plz help @Robbie P.
i m using 4ext recovery...plz suggest me anather one.
@Robbie P, here is dmesg file
what rom do you have in nand? not seen these before;
