if i i just install the newest clockwork mod and not immedaitly flash a new rom will it effect my current rom? right now i have mdjs cyonogen 7 rom and it runs great but i want to try the new typhoon cyonogen and for that one i need to use the newest clockwork.i just dont want to install it right away i just want to have everything ready for when i do.thank you for any help you may give
no, CWR wont affect your current ROM at all.

Yes it will. It will override the current ROM you have flashed to NAND AFAIK. So basically it will just say kernel not found or something along the lines of that when you try boot AD NAND.

It depends upon the current ROM you are using. If you are using NAND ROM(DFT method) then it will overwrite clockwork MOD. There are special types of ROMS (.zip method) for clockwork mod.

Yeah, what he said. You can easily back up your apps, homescreen layouts, settings etc. with either My Backup or Titanium backup. I personally prefer My backup as titanium wouldn't work for some odd reason for me.
You can get My Backup pro which will add the apps automatically for you too so you don't have to click install and done about a gazillion times depending on how many apps you have.

Well any size of SD card will do, as you will be installing android on NAND ROM via clockwork recovery. So your 2gb sd card will be free to be used for your data.
If you want more space than there are multiple options. either buy new sd card 8gb, 16gb or choose a ROM which is slim so that you have more space left on the phone.
Actually, it depends on your partition layout in the flash.cfg file. If you are not changing the partition layout, then it shouldn't erase anything. If the layout is different than what you had before, it will format the partitions.

That card well be used up very quickly. Backups with cwm take up alot of space. You could only put 2 backups on 2gb card.

He's using a MDJ build which are all DFT so it would wipe it.
That's another thing, do you know which CWM partition size you need? If you plan on installing basic AOSP ROM's I recommend 150.
Oh and backups aren't needed,
they just backup the entire ROM you're using so if anything goes wrong with the other ROM you can gu back to the working one, that you've backed up.

Yeah I'm sure they will both work with CWM once they're in .zip format. So download both, put them on your SD card, flash the 150M version of CWM then just partition the SD card the way you like (only if needed) and install a ROM. One thing to note, is when after you've installed a ROM, clear the cache. Just to get rid of anything left behind.

Ok, I've been able to keep up with all the flashing of android on hd2 fairly easy since the beginning almost a year ago. This is the only time I've ever really had a hard time figuring it this thing out.
I have flashed nand miui rom with 250mb partition on my eu hd2 through clockwork recovery. I'm trying to try other builds so I do the same method previously by flashing the zip file on my sd card through clockwork but it always get stuck at "unpacking sdext" files.
Is it because each build require different size partitions? Is it something else? Am I missing a step?
This clockwork stuff is pretty confusing...help is appreciated and thank you all in advanced. Much love.
Yes, different builds do require different partition sizes. A GingerBread build can get by on a 150mb (and possibly less) partition, whereas a Desire HD based build will require a 400mb partition.
so how do i go about doing this? because ive tried to partition my card, but it just erases everything clean even with a backup

The latest cwm partitions are flashed to your NAND and has nothing to do with partitions on your sd card. The sd card partitions are needed to run certain roms on the EU512 device.
To flash a cwm 1.3 partition, you need magldr 1.13, download the partition size you need, boot to usb flasher in magldr and run the daf.exe file from the download. It will wipe data on your phone NAND memory and should have no impact on data on the sd card.
I already have cwm 1.3 and magldr 1.13. I already flashed miui rom. That means I have to use a computer to flash other Roms as well? I thought the point of cwm is so u can flash and switch between roms without a comp?
or does this mean flash through the computer once and then u can switch between roms? sorry if I'm really dumb
You can (as long as you have the same partition size as is needed). I haven't tried it, but I guess you could install the 400mb partition and that should cover all rom types. The only problem is that you then create a larger partition on NAND than may be needed for some roms thereby reducing the internal memory available.

ahhhhhh. I think I will try that and report back to see how it goes. thanks so much for your help. I will try to do the same for other people once I figure this out
I'd be interested to know the answer. Good luck....
welps. I have tried with no luck. I actually ruined my 8gb SD card trying it and had to get a new one.
Ive been able to flash the 400mb partition and have been able to flash any rom but like it has already been stated it affects the amount of internal memory available, not too bad for me as i have a tmous

Ok, send me your 8Go SD if you think it's dead
NAND and SD are two different things. For your SD, just delete/recreate the partition and it will be new again.
Explanation I post somewhere else (hope it wll help you to understand):
===
I will try to explain.
I assume you have a non-TMOUS device. So your internal storage (let call it NAND) is 512Mo. This is all what your have.
The CWM xxxMo will be what your allocate for your build.
If you allocate 150 (by flashing CWM 150MB) you will have 512-150=362Mo free.
If you use CWM 400... you will have 112Mo free space.
The build you want to use take a little bit more than 100Mo. So why using CWM400 to fill it with only 100Mo???
You have to use the smallest CWM to put your build in it. This will give you the more storage space after installing the build.
Don't think the more "CWM" you will use the more space you will have. It's exacly the opposite.
Hope you understand. Please take into account that the figures I give are appoximation. Don't complain if instead of 362Mo you have only 300... it's more than enough anyway for most of us.
===
So if your first NAND needed a small partition only, you may have to flash again CWM with another partition setting (for ex a 400Mo to fit a desire HD NAND).
Go on the CWM thread to find the version you need (150, 250 and 400 are available). Some thread are also available to modify the config file to make the partition size you want.
By using the 400Mo most build will be flashable... but you will have very little free space and will have to use your SD card (APP2SD or other soft).
I prefer to put everything in NAND for two reasons:
1/ I can remove my SD when I want
2/ I think it's better for battery consumption to not use the SD (but this I don't know, it's just what I think).
i was able to recover the sd card (thanks). anddddd i was able to kind of, sort of, dual boot, two different builds except that one of them has force close issues constantly.

Hi,
The way I did it was: download the ROM and kernel zips:>Then put them both on the sd card root :>go into cwm:>ad recovery:>wipe data ,dalvik and partitions:>install ROM:>install kernel:> reboot.
You should bear in mind that not all kernels will work with all ROMS.
My sig shows what worked for me
thx was trying Ultimate Droid rom but the default dont support ext4..
Your Ultimate Droid [op] shows 3 kernels which have been tested.
Why don't you try one using method I suggested
never
I tried to do so many times and never got it right

try all... none of them let me using ext4

This is also for ebotross. Are you both using the MAGLDR or the cLK version of the ROM? You have to use a kernel that is compatible with MAGLDR if you are using MAGLDR and a kernel that is compatible with cLK if you are using cLK. Cedesmith has a patch posted in the cLK thread to apply to a kernel to make it cLK compatible.

That is strange then the kernels posted in the thread for the Ultimate Droid should work as they should be for MAGLDR, unless the Rom chef posted those kernels for the cLK users. Have you posted in the thread about your issue?
posted.. no reply
i tried number of time..
i alway see i got 5mb even less under storage... that mean i not using ext4 as internal
u see... the rom requet to use CWM v1.3 150MB but i use 400M
if i got 1gb ext.. after install this rom i cannot be left only 2-5mb
When you first flashed the ROM where you coming from a different ROM? If so did you do a complete restore or a partial restore using advanced restore? If you used just the regular restore then you do not have Ultimate Droid but you have your old ROM as the System restores your ROM and the Boot restores your kernel. Not all kernels are compatible with all ROMs as the ROMs for the HD2 are all custom ROMs. Also in native Android devices kernels are pretty much device specific so you can not use a kernel from one device on another device without modifying it.

Damn I think I know what you did but I can not remember where I read it at. It was something about if you do something with a certain file or something you actually double it which would turn your 400M into 800M and that would leave you only 2mb. I will have to try to find it again.
i format every thing and start from 0
format sd card using SDFormatter V2.0
create ext3 or ext4... tried both
install rom...
i give up so i now reinstall to CWM v1.3 150M but i only have 200M???? but i tot if we use EXT3 or 4 we should had more than that????
Hi,
I think your 200M is internal memory which is found in
settings>sd & storage>internal phone storage.
The space you have on your SD card is different and probably much larger.
You say the ROM requested 150M ,you should follow this accurately.This will give you more internal memory.
The EXT partition is space on your SD card which will still be 1gb.
They are two different things.
If I resize my recovery partition on my HD2, is all data on my SD card lost? and would i have to reflash a new NAND ROM?
Repartitioning your internal memory will not affect the data on your sd card in any way.
Yes, you would have to flash a new ROM, or restore a backup.
so i take it the recovery partition clockwork uses it not on that sd card
which leads to my other question, if my rom requires a 169mb recovery and i use a 400mb recovery, will it work?
yes it will work, but you will waste 231mb of rom space. This is because you will set a system partition of 400mb, and load into it 169mb of files, BUT once the rom is running, all your user data, installed apps, etc get put into different partitions. Nothing will use the extra 231mb in the system partition, so it will be completely wasted and unuseable.

well you could always flash the rom, play with it, then when you get home, do a cwm backup, change the part size, reflash the rom, then in cwm do an advanced restore and just restore the sd-ext and data partitions. hey presto, system size changed and any settings you configure today will be restored into the new flash.
CAnt comment on the rom, i only use typhoon.

I didn't' get it! What scares you? You should partition your sd if its needed. Some ROMs, especially Sense, required SD Partition. If you skip this part the rom wouldnt boot. And the instalation is from SD!
First of all, don't be scared flashing a ROM. One of the only ways to brick a HD2 is by flashing the wrong radio.
Partitioning the SD card? Just use minitool partition manager or easeus partition manager (both work fine) and then create your Ext3 partition there. Just make sure you have the files on your SD card backed up to your PC as when you're partitioning, it'll need to format the card.
EDIT: to answer your questions...
1) it's only possible to have one android rom installed at one particular time.
2) it is possible to wipe the partition on your sd card to make it full capacity again. Search for 'Panasonic SD Formatter' and that works just fine.

both of you thanks a lot for the quick reaction.
What scares me is that when i put a new rom at my sd card and flash it, is that enough or do i have to delete the old first???
And second, does it mather what kind of rom i flash there are to much to choose i think. i have a european model so i shouldnt choose the tmous models are all other roms save to flash?
What the heck i did it!!!!
No thinking just doing!!!!
but now its hanging on the start up
so back to the first flash who worked is there anyone who knows what i am doing wrong????
You should have enough space to have more than one rom on your SD card. Why it's looping on boot is because you have the wrong clockwork partition. In each rom it should be outlined as to what size you need the partition, then just reflash the right size clockwork from magldr/cLK.

Nope you don't need to do anything to the SD card partition. It's the internal memory you're partitioning to make room for your ROM. Can't remember exactly but you can just edit one of the files that you've got in your clockwork folder to change the partition size or just go to the clockwork thread and download the partition size clockwork you need.

Use any non sense gingerbread ROM if u want speed + battery life.
I would recommend using milwilds redux or oxygen ROM. They have a2sd built in and activated, so all u need to is flash the rom if you have already made the partition.

You need to flash a stock ROM that comes pre rooted. From there you can install an a2sd script.
I would really recommend a custom gingerbread ROM though. It looks like you just had a bad experience with the new jb ROMs, but trust me the GB roms are good. they are fast, stable, and optimized from a2sd.

1. Partition your sd card using this guide if you havent already done so.
2. Download Mildwild v4.9 based on Oxygen from here. Then copy the zip to your sdcard
3. Reboot into recovery. If you are using cwm recovery do the following: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. If using 4ext recovery go to the wipe menu and select "format all partitions (except sd card)"
4. Then go to install and choose the zip of the rom you previously copied to the sd card. Once it has successfully flashed, reboot
5. Leave it for about 5 minutes to load everything up (the first boot may take up to 10 min so be patient)
6. If you made the partition correctly in step 1, whenever you install an app it will automatically be moved to the sd card ext partition.
@OP, if u r going to use MildWild Oxygen (very good rom) then i would highly recommend changing hboots (if ur s-off) to get the most space for data partition, otherwise ul be wasting over 100mb in system partition.

First of all dont use cwm to make the partition. Read this guide to learn how to correctly make the partition. You can easily install 4ext recovery which is better than cwm and it will make good partitions. I would recommend a 1gb ext4, and no swap. After flashing the rom, a2sd will be already activated so theres no need to use terminal emulator to do anything.
Jmcclue is suggesting that you use a different hboot (internal memory partition layout). Using stock hboot with mildwilds oxygen rom, you will be wasting more than 100mb on the system partition. If you want to optimize the internal partition layout so that you have the most space on on the data partition, it would be wise to use the cm7r2 hboot, or even one of the custom hboots that jmcclue has made (check his signature).

OK hboot is the layout of partition sizes on the internal memory. There are 3 partitions: system, cache and data.
Stock hboot gives 250mb to system which is way too much because mildwilds oxygen rom only needs 110mb.
Since you are wasting 140mb on system, you get less space on data(to store app data on)
With cm7r2 hboot u get 145mb system partition, and more space on data.
Changing hboot is pretty easy, but i guess u could say its more risky than flashing a rom. Its not mandatory to do it but it would make sense to do so. Its your choice.
If you leave it with stock hboot everything will work fine, but your data partition will fill up faster. If you aren't planning on installing more than 50 apps then stock should be fine. If you want the ability to install lots of apps (more than 50) then install cm7r2.
How many apps do u think you will install?

I will change my hboot but i don't know which one can i install to work with the Rom and the method of installation.
i have read the jcullum's thread of custom hboots and downloaded the custom hboots but there are many files and can't differentiate between them which is the more suitable to my device and which is the proper method for installing it
which i can understand it.is too move any hboot.img from any folder to SD card and flash it from recovery ?
if this right ? i wanna recommendation to the proper one for this ROM and more safe definitely

No u don't flash any hboot files through recovery. This is how to flash the hboot:
1. Go to http://alpharev.nl/ and download the PB99IMG for the cm7r2 hboot.
2. Once it has downloaded, rename it to PB99IMG and put it on the root of your sd card (not in any folders)
3. Boot into hboot(volume down + power). Wait a bit while it searches for the file
4. When it finds the file it will ask if you want to install. Press volume up to install. The reboot.
