nand kernel open failed

after I flash with CWM, I get this when it trys to boot android "nand kernel open failed"
Also, in CWM, I get "E:Can't find misc"
installing nand without CWM works.

bump- I searched and didn't find anything helpful. I've tried 3 different roms

"Can't find misc" should only appear if you don't have a misc partition in NAND. (which is created when flashing CWM)
And nand kernel open failure probably means theres no zImage or initrd.gz in the boot partition.
Try flashing CWM from the CWM thread and then a ROM.

How did you transfer the zip file to SD? Did you use magldr? If so try re-transfering using your comp, as Magldr sometimes corrupts them.
Ricey

Bump.
Did a clean install of TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.3.1 and got the "nand kernel open failed" error.
I formated the SD-Card two times, reinstall cwm 150mb partition 3 times and still get the same error, first time within almost 1 year of android on my HD2 ._.
Any ideas or solutions welcome.

and another bump and sorry for my bad english =)
i get the "nand kernel open failed" error too.
i installed radio and hspl 2.08
then flashed MAGLDR 1.13
continued with CWM (250mb)
then formated my sd-card und put TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 on it
after installation, i get the error.
redid all 2 times now, nothing works.

Typhoon doesn't use 250mb CWM, use the one provided with rom 150MB System/5MB Cache (ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.5), most "nand kernel open failed" are down to wrong CWM size

I'm getting the same error, but only with sense 3.0 roms. Any other roms I've used have installed have worked. Is there a certain step I'm missing with installing sense 3.0 roms? I'm using MAGLDR v1.13 and Clockwork Recovery Mod v3.0.2.5. I flashed recovery_150m_cache_5m.zip onto the phone using magldr usb flasher. Any ideas?

150mb for sense rom is definitely to low!
Read the rom's thread carefully guys!
It says there what CWR partition is needed.
Sense roms need SD CARD PARTITION so read the thread (it's first page).
If you have read it and your CWR partition looks exactly as it was given in the rom's thread then do task29, hspl, magldr 1.13 and CWR.
If it still doesn't work try different roms or try CLK.

Thanks for the response. How do I create a 5/240/5 partition through CWR? The last partition I made was just installed through .zip on CWR. Sorry for the questions, new to the hd2.

do all beginners understand this? you are probably putting the 'clk' version of the rom in your storage card for installation. you need the 'magdlr' version of the rom for clockwork mod to correctly install android

Hi guys, i had the same problem, and i figured maybe i can show u what i did, to help u.
i went to THIS thread and followed the instructions:
"Installation Guide for MAGLDR 1.13"
the error occured right after i flashed the MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery_v3.2.0.0_for_NexusHD2_135M.zip onto my HTC HD2.
the only thing i had to do was enter magldr boot menu (hold off button while booting)
then i choose AD RECOVERY
CWM started up and i choose install zip from SD card
ofcourse i have placed NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.0_NAND_(Android-2.3.5).zip onto the ROOT of my SD card previously.
the .zip file installed perfectly and then i rebooted my phone.
all was ok after that..
hope this helps!

Awww, that was my mistake. It's working with the MAGLDR version now. Thanks for pointing that out

[Q] Can't install Clockwordmod recovery (nand kernel open failed)

I have a european HTC HD2 running MAGLDR 1.3 and I cannot install Clockworkmod under any circumstances. I've been running MDJ's Cyanogenmod 7 for weeks now and have the correct radio and hspl, but every time I attempt to flash clockwork I get a message saying NAND kernel open failed when I try to boot AD Recovery. I've tried both the NAND boot and the old style SD boot with no luck whatsoever. I'm now totally stumped and unable to get any of the new ROMS. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Can you give us the exact steps you have taken?
This way we can see if you missed something.

Thanks for the response,
Installed radio and hspl, then magldr 1.11 (this is the setup I'd been using for a while). Today I tried to install clockworkmod so I upgraded to magldr 1.13 at the tri color screen. That seemed to work fine, all the functions working perfectly. I then downloaded cwm 1.3 150mb and tried to install (USB flash, ran as admin etc.) The install seemed to go alright but when I tried to boot into recovery I got the error message. I ran into the same problem using the method where you put files on the SD first and using the script to install magldr 1.13 and cwm one after the other.

i had problems with cwm 150 installer. i ended up getting the 250 meg version, and editinf flash.cfg, worked first time.

Did you use AD SD or AD Recovery (option 8 )?
AD Recovery is the one to use.

I've used both and neither worked, they both result in nand kernel open failed. Its unable to find initrd or the other file no matter what i do.

Sounds like the file recovery.raw (or is it recovery.img, i forget) didn't get flashed, please confirm there is a recovery image included with the cwm files you are installing, and also please paste us the contents of your flash.cfg. file.

Try flashing 400mb clockwork mod.most roms require this mod and it does work
Sent from my HTC HD2 Gingerbread using XDA App

I got it to work by using the 250mb version with edited flash file! Thanks a lot for all the help.

Wow I cant believe this worked. You have 2 recoveries, MAGLDR and CLK. So one would think you use the CLK rom with the CLK recovery, and the MAG rom with the MAG recover.
NOPE!!
You use MAG rom on CLK recovery. Jesus christ I spent 3 hours on this.

Hi,
Are you setting the correct CWM partition for the ROM and your phone?

am not sure i understand, if the same rom's older version was working properly why do i need to change the CWM partition for the next version
and also can u link me to the thread which can show me how to change the partition of the CWM recovery
thanks

Hi,
Reading through the [OP] of your ROM,it appears that you don't need to change your partition,but having tried various other ROMS,it's best to start fresh.
Before starting anything,BACKUP YOUR DATA.
Download THIS TOOL (Don't forget to thank him for his work)
Open the toolkit.
Choose magldr repartition,choose 150MB and cache 5MB.Press repartition.(via number 5 usb flasher)
Then go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).
Then go to install zip from sd card
Choose zip from sd card (which you should have placed on the root of your sd card,using a card reader)
After installation,reboot.
Give it time.
Some ROMS take 15-20 minutes to install.

[Q] Please help! problem with nand android on hd2

Hi
I have a big problem and don't know what is wrong
I was using ultimate droid on nand on my hd2,than i decided to flash shiftpda rom v33 from boyPPC and the problems started. i installed it from my sd card using cwm and when phone rebooted first time magldr said something about missing kernel file. then i tried to flash it again,did task 29 several times,installed magldr and everything again. but it kept saying about missing kernel file. and when i try to install it again cwm says 'installation aborted'. so i decided to flash it from pc with daf.exe. installation was successfull,but phone just reboots over and over again... looks like it will never stop rebooting. dont know what to do please help...

can it be due to wrong radio?

Can you explain the exact steps you made to install this Rom?

well i will explain what am i'm doing right now. i run task 29 and installed radio 2.15.50.14. after that i installed mgldr 1.13. and on mgldr booting screen it said "sd open kernel failed". after that mgldr menu appears. then i choose usb flasher and install rom from the computer. it says installation successful and phone reboots. after that i see mgldr booting screen and everything looks just fine,then i see HTC screen and phone reboots again...and again and again and again. if i will just put the phone on the table it will just keep rebooting forever ((( am i doing anything wrong? i shouldnt because its not the first rom i am installing...and what does that "sd open kernel failed" message mean??? (

1) First of all, boot into MAGLDR and go to services (option 10). Go to boot settings, Boot source and make sure Android from Nand is selected.
2) Unzip the Boyppc v33 package on your computer and install his CWR DAF package that is included with the rom (The boot loops could be due to having the wrong CWR partition)
3) Load CWR and manually wipe data/factory reset, Go into advanced and wipe Dalvik Cache. Once this is done try and reinstall the V33 zip that you said you had already copied to your SD card. Hope this solves the problem

I've had the same problem twice now. "sd open kernel failed" i believe is shown in red correct? all i did to fix it was reflash MAGLDR & Clockworkmod Recovery then reflash the ROM.
i wish i knew why it happened but its always when im going from 1 ROM to the next & not just restarting my phone up. im thinking maybe it was just a bad flash or something but the steps above has fixed it for me now both times.

try to install recovery and intall a ron throught ur sd card ... rom that r instaleed from daf r pretty simple but maybe the rom was corrumpted during the download or there's a missing file that's not flashed to ur phone ... i suggest to install recovery and to copy ur rom to sd ...it's much simple than the first way
