[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

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

open the file flash.cfg in notepad on the pc, edit the number in the system line (you will see what i mean when you see it) change it, save it, flash it.

nand kernel open failed
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

[Q] how to install TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 nand

can anyone help me installing this, i have installed other rom before but i don't understand how to do whit this one.
i got MAGLDR on my phone and then i gonna download this verison http://www.multiupload.com/11VO5R7EM4
Right?
and load in to usb loader in MAGLDR and then what, how do i use the files in the zip i have download? use costumruu ? or how

You have to flash clockworkmod (short CWM).
With cwm you can flash zips to your nand and also make backups:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987531
Code:
For MAGLDR 1.13, booting from NAND:
Download the file attached and named "magldr_recovery_3.0.2.5.zip"
Download a partition layout incl. recovery from [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913"]this thread[/URL] which fits your ROM you want to use best and unzip it into "C:\recovery" for example
Copy over "magldr_recovery.img" from inside the zip archive into this folder "C:\recovery", delete existing "recovery-raw.img" and rename "magldr_recovery_3.0.2.5.img" to "recovery-raw.img"
Flash the recovery and partition layout using "DAF.exe" as usual and described in the thread of raiderx or the ROM provider
Boot Recovery with menu point "8. AD Recovery"
You're done

I take it u want to install TyphooN_CM7_v3.1.3 rom?...Then simply visit the ROM's thread for clear instructions on how to successfully flash it...Its quite straight-forward.
Clean Install MAGLDR:
1. Task 29 (Just for measure)
2. Flash Radio(2.15 Recommended if u haven't alrd done so)
3. MAGLDR 1.13
4. MAGLDR 130MB System/4MB Cache (ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.4)
5. Install TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 .zip with CWM (boot in2 MAGLDR, select AD Recovery > Select Zip to install from SD card, Flash.)

You might have done something wrong along the way...Wat steps did take to flash the ROM? ...d kernel included in the ROM usually doesn't give problems as its been tested before release...did u flash another?

Yes i flashed hyperdroid and it worked, so i don't understand why it's getting stuck on boot with typhoon

Try the steps mentioned above by " voncrane " , make sure u do a task29 before everything and when u enter the recovery wipe full data / it should work if u follow the steps .

Im sorry for creating a new thread because i know alot of people are having similar problems but i couldnt find an answer.
thanks adam

You need to flash ClockworkMod Recovery with the appropriate size system partition for the nand rom you intend to install. Flash the recovery from your pc with MAGLDR in usb flasher mode. Then in MAGLDR choose AD Recovery, and in recovery, choose 'install zip from sd', then pick 'choose zip from sd card' and choose the zip that is the rom you wish to install. Dont unzip it, Clockwork Recovery installs from .zip files.

im not sure what u meen by partition size how do i select that and do u know of a way i could connect to active sync so i can just flash stock rom. in MAGLDR i havnt found a way to connect to active sync. any suggestions on how to go back to stock? thanks for helping.

Power your phone on while holding the vol down button. Your screen will have 4 colored bars. You can flash a stock rom from there. Your phone won't connect to ActiveSync or Windows Device Center while in this mode, but the stock windows rom will flash.

No problem, glad your phone isn't wrecked. If you still want to use Android, but don't want to mess with flashing it to your phone's internal memory, you can always use sd builds. Then you still have WinMo, and you can even have multiple different Android builds on your sd card, in different folders, there are programs for Windows Mobile that will even launch Android for you and let you choose which build to launch. It's alot simpler than flashing nand roms, just drag n drop a folder onto your sd card and bot into WM, use File Explorer to navigate into the folder, tap CLRCAD and haret.exe , and Android launches.

Help - NAND installation MGLDR

Hi guys
Im currently an SD user.
I want to install this via nand: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250703
I used to use MGLDR etc, is there an easy way to install this? As i cannot find exact info. As there is stuff like CLK and clockwork recovery mod.
Can anynone provide me an easy installation method to do this?
I will really appreciated. I love Android, i dont think i want to boot via WM anymore, and im sure this will also increase the performance? Thanks!!

Have you even tried to look for everything yourself?
I mean, you should have looked for "what is cLK, MAGLDR and CWM?"After doing that little search you should have known that the easiest way to do it is through the NAND toolkit stickied in the NAND forum after (of course) choosing which bootloader you want to use

I would start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044830
If you get stuck on something, just ask and I'll see if I can help you out.

You need to install a rom... download a daf file rom for your hd2 on to your computer... unzip it... run the daf file... do all this your phone have to be plug in to your computer... in magldr... select USB flash... wait for it to say.... USB....USB. then run daf file that you just unzipped....
Or install clockwork mod recovery (install through USB flasher) with the right partition for the rom.... the rom have to be for magldr... the downloaded rom also have to be transfer to your SD... but into magldr... select ad recovery... then follow prompt... this is the best way to flash rom...

Google or Search here how to flash HSLP to a version needed for this ROM. Be sure also having the right MAGDLR version installed after HSPL. (easier to change than SPL).
I recommend using CWM. (press long red button while booting - go 8. Recovery AD - mount USB - get .zip of ROM on SD and install from .zip)
I recommend you to make sure your SPL version and MAGLDR versions are right before continuing. Also a total wipe or SD formatting (just search here for the stickies) must be (optional) done.
The white screen comes from ? Just guess ? Did you install a ROM ?

If it were no rom flashed, it would stop at the magldr menu. If a phone goes straight to bootscreen after flashing magldr it means either the spl isn't 2.08.hspl or the radio isn't a 2.xx.50.
@neolan enter bootloader, set 2.08.hspl, re enter bootloader, flash radio 2.15.50, the phone will now start into magldr and you can proceed flashing cwm.

sequence;
first check your device if it is 2.08.HSPL, and format your sdcard ext3 or ext4 and 1gb. insert it to your device.
1. task29
2. radio rom 2.15.50.14
3. magldr 1.13
4. recovery 5.0.2.6
5. clear cache and dalvik cache.

Yeah, for once I give a +1 to Task29, although it isn't really necessary most of the time. Can you flash a stock ROM via the SD card? You said that you tried to flash WinMo then CWM again, but you didn't say whether or not it actually worked.

WinMO work fine, but CWM still not working, stuck, stuck, stuck...
1) flash official WM6.5 ROM
2) task29
3) magldr
4) cwm (there phone is stuck)

sequence is important!!!. and also it depends on your android rom.
i hope you dont have any other hardware problem.

powerofthink mate, i know how flash hd2, and i know all sequence. I flash my hd2 many time, but one day i have problem with CWM... I hope we are solve this problem

Mmm..
Just checking
1. have you checked that you have 2.08.HSPL installed? (power on with Volume down)
2. Have checked that installation of Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14 was successful?
3. No problems with flashing the MAGLDR? (Do you get the menu when you press and hold POWER?
4. Did you flash the 250 Mb version of recovery succesful? (Recovery_v1.3_250M.zip)
Please note that as soon as you performed a DAF flash in between, your Recovery does not work anymore.
My reccomendation is that you perform all these tasks using HD2-Tool which is absolutely brilliant. If it doe not work tryu again from the start. (try it without SIM card and SD Card in your phone till you get Recovery working)
(I did this when I bricked one of my 2 HD2's, and was able to get it up and running again)
Good luck!!

strange that winmo is running fine, how about giving clk a try.

Have u tried to flash stock WM 6.5?
