Flash NAND from SD - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi
Me and i know a lot of you out there have got a big problem on our phone, and broken the usb port. So no flashing ROM from USB sync :S.
I'm hoping that Cedesmith's CLK NAND loader + CWM flashed from an .nbh using the sdcard method will be the solution we are looking for.
Hope some of the great devs out there think of a way for us to flash NAND or even WM7.

Just get the port fixed?!
PS. There is no such thing as "WM7".

Get your port fixed, or If you can try to flash cwm recovery.

Dude once again with fixing the port... If that was an option i would be asking for a .nhg so i could format the phone. I've got MAGLDR installed using the SD card now, and i know about cwm, i want a way to partion the phone from the SD for Android or WP7. If i knew how to do that i would be asking...
Thanks a lot

Hi,
My USB is also broken. This is somehow not covered by warranty. Repairservice wants to charge me for 536€ and Amazon sells the HD2 already for 499€.
I cannot afford a new one nor the repair.
Beeing able to flash everything including HSPL and MAGLDR from SD-Card.
I would be very greatful for that option as the standard software provided from HTC is very disappointing with all the great options for the HD2 out there.
Best Regards,
Joe

Well you're wrong!
There is no "Windows Mobile 7" The OS you are referring to is called "Windows Phone 7" and its a completley new OS and nothing to do with windows mobile, hence it doesnt run any of WM programs.

i have a question in regards to the clockwork mod recovery now on hd2, I have installed magldr1.13 thats fine, i have also flashed the clcokwork recovery as well.
I am totally lost as to how you are supposed to be able to flash rom zips from clockwork instead of nand flashing. I know how to nand flash, and I also know how to use clockwork on regular android o.s systems , but im lost as to what this clockwork recovery works with nand roms and regular zip or z7 roms.
If I flash a regular nand rom like i have, and then get into clockwork and try to install a rom from clockwork it messses up?
Are the cockwork roms for the hd2 specific as in zip format or can you intall a nand rom from clockwork it seems people have merged some nand roms with sd .
Any insight or guide would help.

Yessss. Please make a way to flash new partitions with sdcard. I have a USB port with a broken contact between the mainboard and the USB port that can't be fixed.

About to flash my first NANDroid ROM - want to confirm a couple of things!

Hi all,
After using Android via SD for months, I feel the time has come to make it my full-time OS.
I've chosen this ROM as my first to flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908528 - Looks like a decent, stable Desire HD (Sense) port.
I've read all the usual n00b threads but due to paranoia and anxiety want to just confirm I'm about to do everything right before the big flash...
This rom uses ext3 data (like a fake 1gb internal memory) so I've partitioned my SD card as per instructions in the thread.
My main concern is flashing MAGLDR, i.e. "you need to flash MAGDLR 1.13 and the 400mb Recovery"
From what I gather, I download "-Download v1.3 400MB-" from this thread and run the update utility via USB like flashing any (WM) ROM. Is it best to Task29 before this and do it from the bootloader? Do I need to flash anything else before-hand? What's the difference between the magldr 1.13 and magldr 1.13 with 400mb recovery that I'm told to use in the ROM thread? Do I need to flash one before the other?
After this is on my phone it looks simple enough to flash the rom via the SD card inside MAGLDR's options and finish the job.
I've got the correct radio, etc. So all I'm really asking for is confirmation on how to get MAGLDR on my phone.
Sorry for the seemingly stupid question(s) but I have indeed read through the threads but just want to be sure!
Thanks!
The 400MB recovery is not MAGLDR - it's Clockworkmod recovery with a specific 400MB flash layout.
Task 29 is optional, but recommended. Then boot to bootloader, flash your radio of choice, flash MAGLDR, flash Clockworkmod, and finally flash your chosen NAND build from within Clockworkmod, which is accessed from the MAGLDR menu. There's not too much that can go wrong if you read all the tutorials, and everything in the OP for your chosen build.
Best of luck!

theyre the same thing, , , magldr will work with any recovery size, and depending on the rom size you choose, depends how big you want the partition to be. You have a big rom, so use 400, i have a light rom, so i use the 150. the magldr is the same, the only difference is two numbers in a text file that set the size of the partition during flashing.
After this is on my phone it looks simple enough to flash the rom via the SD card inside MAGLDR's options and finish the job.

Yeah. Basically run Task29 (format the NAND) if you want to. Then after that run the RomUpdateUtility to flash MAGLDR 1.13 via HSPL then once you're inside of MAGLDR (hold power button while powering on) and flash the 400mb Clockwork Recovery image via the .daf file found in your Clockwork download folder from USB Flasher in MAGLDR. That'll flash CWR, then reboot to MAGLDR again and chose 'AD Recovery'. Then you're in Clockwork and free to do whatever you want.
Much thanks guys - this'll be tomorrow's lunchtime project! Trust XDA to fill me with confidence

Problem installing CWM

Hello,
a month before i flashed my HTC HD2 to a DFT Froyo 2.2 Sense ROM.
Softwareversions as i undestand them are the following
Magldr 1.13
Android 2.2
Baseband 15.38.50.07U_2.10.50.19_2
Kernel 2.6.32.15 by cotulla
BuildNo 2.29.405.5 CL293415 release-keys
SoftwareNo. 2.29.405.5
Browser Webkit 3.1
I found the information to do this around in the internet. Knowing about XDA i decided to flash my Desire HD to Revolution HD. After having done the flash i found a lot more stuff around XDA and decided to flash my HD2 again to a newer mod.
Having bought CWM i thought it would be easy to flash the HD2 to another mod, but after installing ROM-Manager i wasn't and still am not able to install CWM. From the info shown in german, i would translate the following german text:"Bei der Ausführung von privilegierten Kommandos ist ein Fehler aufgetreten!" to "An error happened on execution of privilegised commands"
And now i'm stuck on this and don't know what to do. Afaik i would estimate this being a fault of SU which was installed with the ROM, but i really don't know it.
i would appreciate any help or hint.
Thx
Kai
Hi,
Unfortunately, ROM manager does not work with magldr...
If you want to use it ,you need to install cLK.Have a look at my sig...guide number 2
Did you buy CWM?("Having bought CWM i thought it would be easy to flash the HD2 to another mod,")
Should not have to pay for it.
All is in the guide..

No, you don't have to switch, the only difference is you manually enter cwm rather than the phone automatically entering cwm for you. just don't use rom manager. Read the cwm thread, in android nand development thread all info is there including free download links.( I'd be REALLY unhappy at whoever sold you cwm!, and in fact isn't it released under a freeware license? Making resale illegal?)

There is a free and paid version of ROM Manager in the Android market. The free version works good, but the paid version has added benefits of course, like installing from QR code, checjking for OTA ROM updates, aqnd more avaliable ROM downloads.

Hm. liking the way it works on Desire HD, is there a reason not to switch to clk and stay with magldr?
I would like to play with the HD2 as much as possible, so it would be really fine, if i was able to switch between roms as easy, as in Desire HD, working with rom-manager and CWM.

Hi,
For me I'm using magldr and I find it easy switching between ROMS,because I am used to it.I cannot vouch for clk ,because I have not tried it yet,but I'm told it is much more native to android,therefore more user friendly.
If I were you,stick with magldr for a while,then change to see the difference..

Yeah but with MAGLDR you have to boot into MAGLDR, then into CWM, then select to do a backup, then select to wipe your data your cachje and delvik cache, then go and select to flash your ROM. With cLK you install ROM Manager from the Android market then just open ROM manager and select "Install ROM from SD Card" then pick the ROM from SD card. Then a window opens in ROM Manager and you check the box to :"Backup Existing ROM", "Wipe Data and Cache", and "Wipe Delvik Cache". Then you tap ok and it automatically boots into CWM and executes all the commands then flashes the ROM and reboots the device when it is done flashing the ROM. Remember you did all the set up in Android itself. Plus ROM Manager has like a hole bunch of other options. You seee ROM Manager is a interface for CWM in Android. You can even use ROM manager to flash CWM, I just flashed to CWM version 3.1.0.0 tonight with it, and gues what that is because it told me it was a update avaliable for CWM when I opened ROM Manager. Not to mention the fact you do not have to worry about making CWM the right partition size anymore cuase cLK sets the partition sizes when you flash, it is like auto pilot. But the best of all you can actually turn your HD2 off and charge it using cLK, you don't get that with MAGLDR.

Hi,
So you can set the partition size in android?
Does that mean you can load a ROM without the use of a PC?

That looked quite strange to me. I had to choose right CWM first, before flashing the ROM. on my Desire HD i'm able to download the ROM with the DHD and afterwards flashing it directly from the SD-Card.
Yes, without using a PC. Dunno if it's possible like that on the LEO using CLK.
Bu i've got a Question about CLK. If using it, is it hard to switch back to a WinMobile ROM?
Switching back to winmo is the same for both magldr and clk,,,, flash your phones correct stock rom.
I can't add anything to the pros and cons of clk, I plain and simply can't get it to instal. I suspect its something left over from when I installed the android sdk and eclipse, followed by wp7 sdk , just can't get the command line to pass commands to the phone (required to initially set up clk)
Next time I clean reinstall my PC I'll try again, but till then magldr for me.(which is fine, I've always preferred doing stuff manually, automation takes the fun out of it for me)

From what I understand cLK sets the partition size when using it so you do not have to. I mean you can flash CWM via ROM Manager and it does not ask you what partition size you want, it just flashes it. Also you can download and flash a ROM just using ROM manager, you never have to touch a computer. Now granted the only ROM I see available right now is Hyperdriod and a Cyanogen Mod ROMs, but I am sure more will become available when more people switch to cLK and can use ROM Manager. Right now when I touch on Download ROM I see this.
Extras
Cool stuff (This gives me 2 choices for Superuser one says 2.3.6.1 cd and the other says 2.3.6.1 ef)
charansingh
Mods and Bacon for your phone ( I get 3 Cyanogen Mod choices 7.0.0, 7.0.0-RC4, and 7.0.0-RC2)
Hyperdroid
Hyperdroid is the InsanelyFast & Incredibly Smooth Custom Android ROM that will blow you away Awwsomeness! (I get 2 choices HyperDroid-GBX-v12 and v11)
Google Apps
Add-on for AOSP ROMs, such as CM (I get 4 choices here 20110503 Universal, 20110307 Universal, 20110120 Universal,20110115 Universal, 20110114 Universal, but the 20110120, 20110115, and 20110114 says they are for 2.3.2 and no longer supported.

[Q] HELP stuck at MAGLDR leo

i tried to flash an android NAND for the 1st time and i installed the radio 2.15.50.14 and the HSPL 4 and MAGLDR 1.13 and i did as they said to flash the rom n my HD is stuck at the MAGLDR screen telling me NAND kernl open failed !!
thanks in advance
Yes i know what you forgot
Now u have magldr
But you need a ROM to flash which is loaded by magldr
Go to the nand android section and choose a rom you want to have . There are several ways to install a rom.. One is to flash clockworkmod (just search a little bit and you will find a how to )), with it u can flash a rom from your sd card
There is much to say, but u should read the stickie thread where you will get all information you have to know

Hi,
Each ROM will probably have different CWM partitions to flash before you try loading the ROM.Make sure you flash correct one.
Then make a note of the ROM.CWM does not find the ROM for you.
In ad recovery,choose install ROM from zip,then choose ROM from zip,Then scroll up and down with volume button until you find you zip.
Also make sure you place zip on root of your card using a card reader.
This will avoid any corruption of data in the transfer process.

Just currious, check your sd card, since you have CWR windows do partition by CWR, use card reader to copy your rom then put on phone, ensure you have zip file extension not rar/7zip or other compression type.

There are many possibilities on this case : Check your ROM and ensure matching with yur CWR Partition lay out, i.e some rom with 150 MB partition lay out, need 158 MB partition lay out
For your phone can not go into bootloader, its clueless for me. Wether the hardware failure or bootloader corrupts.
Please also check hold vol Up and Down + Power Button to reach DEFAULT FACTORY RESET MODE, also check the red button inside the phone : open battery cover there is reset small red button. Just push (with pen/pencil) and what happening

Clockworkmod on SDAndroid Magldr

Hi to all.
I've installed Boxmax Android SD Rom named BoxMax Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.4 SD Rom via the Magldr.
I've also downloaded and installed CWM from the market.
I've installed the recovery mode but when i try to reboot the phone using the magldr voice "Boot ad recovery" it says "no boot source".
On my nand i have wp7.
Does anyone knows how can i make recovery mode works?

It doesn't make sense what your're saying.
"......SD Rom named BoxMax Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.4 SD Rom via the Magldr...." and "......On my nand i have wp7......"
That's a mission impossible
Apart from that this post should be raised in "BoxMax Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.4 SD" thread or "HD2 Android Q&A and Genera"l section.

Hi lilchina...glad to see that you allways answer me.
What i wanted to say is that on my phone, which has a dual boot with WP7 (on nand) and android (on SD), i can't use the recovery mode of Clockworkmod because when i'm in android and i select "Reboot in recovery" from CWM menu the phone reboots normally, reaching the MAGLDR screen.
If i select the voice "Boot AD RECovery" the phone says "No boot sources".
What i wanted to know is if it's possible to use recovery mode even if you are using a SD android instead of a Nand one.
Sorry for my previous post, i know it was quite hard to understand but i'm writing my thesis and i'm quite concentrated on it.
Hope this time you can understand my question.
Bye and thanks for your answers.

No, it isn't possible. Even if you had a NAND ROM, the boot into recovery option wouldn't work as MAGLDR doesn't support that. You cannot use CWM when WP7 is installed.
Also, please post in the correct section in future.

since WP7 takes up NAND already, Both CWM & WP7 cannot occupy the same space (for now). i did flash cwm - it erased WP7.

The HD2 has been able to dual boot WP7 and Android for ages now, so I don't know where you get your info from but you're far behind the times.
No, it isn't possible. Even if you had a NAND ROM, the boot into recovery option wouldn't work as MAGLDR doesn't support that. You cannot use CWM when WP7 is installed.
Also, please post in the correct section in future.

I know.......but not how Willy proposed........think I didn't made my answer clear enough.

Just reading through the thread and I think the first problem seen in tthe first post is that the OP is confusing CWM with ROM Manager as you can't get CWM from the market for obvious reasons.
The main being that CWM and other similar recoveries have their own partition. SD Roms don't touch or communicate with the phones ROM at all and have no communication with those partitions. Flashing CWM via Magldr (or via ROM Manager etc. on NAND ROMs) flashes the recovery into the recovery partition on NAND.
On SD builds the apparent partitions are /system and /data (and /cache) and I'm not aware that there is a recovery partition, but I'd imagine that it would be possible to create and utilise one but this isn't the case at the moment and it would be a dirty hack.
And to clear things up reboot to recovery from a running ROM just makes it reboot, but CWM can be booted from Magldr -> Boot AD Recovery but is for use in NAND ROMs only.
Edit. Yea changed RAM to ROM, although forgot to mention the SD RAM ROMs which are another variation.
Been thinking through the logistics of having a recovery, thought perhaps having swappable initrd's would work with one pointing to a recovery.ext4 but this would need to be connected to the others somehow, or having the file within system.ext4 but this is way over my head at the minute and unnecessary as there are easier ways to do CWM operations with SD builds.

I think you mean ROM, but yeah this is a decent summary of everything. I'm surprised this thread is still in the SD forums, I guess I'll have to report it for maintenance.

[Q] Any way to resize the system part, without a computer?

Hi,
I'm in the middle of the jungle literally and i only have my phone with me... I'm trying to install the evohd2 ics rom but my sys part is only 160mb...is their any way I can resize it without a computer....?
Thx
If you have cLK boot loader, you can.
Just wipe all via recovery.
Then boot to cLK by long pressing back button and power. You will find the option there.
BTW, this should have been posted in the General or Q&A section, not development.
Mods please relocate this thread.

Yes, why do you prefer MAGLDR if you run android?
It's not that I prefer it its just that's what's on the phone.... Don't I need a computer to change to clk? Or am I totally off track?
My situation is this I have my tmob HTC hd2 with magldr, i'm in the middle of nowhere with just my phone I'm not programming noob but, I haven't been flashing my hd2 more than once... Actually twice i tried a pacman 4.1.2 rom as it only needed 145mb sys part, I'm actually running it now.... But it's lagging quite a bit no disrespect intended.... Probably my installation at fault... So I read that the evohd2 4.0.4 rom was supposed to be quite fast... But it needs at least 200mb syspart...
So if you say I can use clk to repartition, how can I get it on my phone without a computer just give me a link if you know where I should start looking.... I've Google and searched.... But all leads to the hd2 toolkit which I sadly can't use
there u r mate
the attached file is clk with touch recovery included.
rename the file with leoimg.nbh then put it on root of yr sd card and flash it
you dont need a pc to make repartition yr nand u can use it with inbuilt repartition option with this great tool
credit goes to the kokotas and their team.
You mean flash it like flashing a new power up splash screen? Volume down plus power button?

I did flash it and it took a few reboots because it got stuck on the recovery team splash screen...but finally it booted the touch recovery: ) i repartotioned the sys part and reflashed the pacman jelly bean rom just to try amd run it clean...and its not bad: )ill try it for a day now and see
Thx a bunch
sSo thought I'd just update...
I managed to wipe and clean all partitions and install the NexusHD2 ics rom and it's running like the wind only problem is that takes up to ten times to reboot to get it to load the touch recovery... So I got a little scared I'd bricked it.
. But it's ok now thanks a bunch
great u managed it in the middle of jungle right
actually clk is great tool. the only prob with clk is it doesnt support rmnet network it supports only ppp
hope soon devs gonna fix this
sorry i was away so late response
oh yes forgot to tell u clk recovery takes a while but let it be on very first boot its ok approx 10 mins(yeah i kno its too much)
