[Q] need a little bit of help with clockwork recovery :)

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.

well its not dual booting. i just kind of re-install each build from clockwork.

clockwork mod?

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.

Questions to sense roms

Hey,
So I wanted to give sense a chance, since I really like sense 3.5.
But I'm having problems finding a good rom, I tried it with energy but its slow and runs not smooth at all, even tho other people dont seem to have problems with it.
And Im also confused about all that SD-Partitioning, tried doing it like in the Guides but from all the partitioning my SD Card is only 900MB out of 2GB now and I cant seem to delete all the other partitions.
Regards

try RCMix3D Runny v5.0, i heard some good things about it.
as for sd card partitioning:
flash 4ext recovery (in attachment) with CWM, your phone should reboot into 4ext recovery.
in 4ext go to: Advanced -> Partition SD Card -> Remove all partitions and start from scratch.
Now it will prompt you for the desired sizes for all your partitions, but don't get confused if it asks twice for the ext size, the 1st time is for the 1st ext partition the 2nd for the 2nd partition.
Generally you wouldn't want/need a 2nd ext partition so choose 0 mb for that one.
ext-4 is the desired type for the ext partition.
hope i have been of help..

Thanks man!
Will try that out tomorrow.
But about that rom you posted, I read in the Rom specific Thread that it runs relatively slow, anyhow I'll try it.

So I installed it now, did a 1024M sd-ext partition and flashed 210M CWM with 5M cache using the HD2 Toolkit.
But after the clean install I only get 993 quadrant score and it is pretty laggy/slow
Is this normal with sense roms? oO

I don't find the rom to be slow at all.
I have yet to try v5. I'm still on 4.xx.
For me the rom is fast and I heard with Kernel v6 or Marc's kernel the rom goes great.

Was my post helpful?

If you want to try sense I would look at haldrics sense roms he has done a great job with both 2.1 and 3.5 also they are both smooth and fast.

That .zip didn't work out for some people. I would recommend using minitool partition wizard. It's free and works great (Windows)
If you are using linux, try gparted.

MccM MixTheme Runny+Ryhme V10
Hi, I'm running MccM MixTheme Runny+Ryhme V10 on SD card, I've got 2171 in Quadrant Standard. i have 16GB card with 8GB free.

In my opinion no. I'm on the TBD v3.1 Sensation XL themed ROM, it comes with Sense 3.5 and works really fine!

if you follow the link, you see the rom, but it's crab, only 1319 in quadrant???
why don't you try the one i have "MccM MixTheme Runny+Ryhme V10"
you can get around 2100 in the quadrant, but as i said the only problem is WIFI HOTSPOT is not working you have to use "barnacle" instead.
have any one try it? and let me know is there a fix for "wifi-hot spot"?

Sense to me, just feels too slow & clunky but the sense 2.1 feel faster to me

Can you share 2.1 ROM?

a2sd script for stock rom v 2.2 overcome internal memory issue

hello all.
i have HTC desire with stock ROM v 2.2 and i have rooted my phone and flashed the CM10 | Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v3.1 which supports a2sd script and allow to install many app in the SD-ext partition but there were some problems in the battery drain . video play back flickering and video recorder so i restored my original stock ROM it is very fast and no the jellybean's issues but the only problem is limited internal memory so i need your help to have a2sd script or any script to overcome this problem
thanks.

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

the another ones are some widgets and small sized apps plus to officesuite and youtube

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.

[Q] New Rom for HTC HD2, NexusHD2-JellyBean-CM10.1 V2.1 [NativeSD]

Hi,
I am currently using Rom from tyween: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951 and I would like to install a new one from Tytung http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224469 .
My questions:
1. in description of tytungs Rom is stated that NAND version is for USA T-mobile so I assume that with my international version I have to use the other two versions and if so then the only way to install it is using aurora installer?
2. Nevertheless I tried NAND version installed it using CWM but then it got stuck on loading screen, could this problem be solved by this patch? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40623956&postcount=821
3. Is it possible to use Rom Manager to install this Rom? I have only tried CWM method and this one seems also really easy to use.
Thank you for your answers!!!

Nand is divided into two: 1- Pure Nand (EVERYTHING is on the NAND of the device) and 2- Nand with DataOnExt (as the name implies, some of the data will be stored on an EXT partition on your SD card).
Since the international version of the HD2 only has about half a gig of storage, if you fit everything into the NAND you won't have enough space left for you to install apps and whatnot. If you want it on NAND, you need to choose the second option (some data on the sdcard), but you need to make sure you have an EXT partition on your sd card first (if you don't know how to make one, search).
And "aurora" (you mean aroma*) is just a path, it IS like you said THE installer. It's got nothing to do with your installation. It is just a fancy make-up for the old installation method. Yes, you'll have to use it.

No, that patch is for something else. Your problem is different.
If you mean:
1- NAND Only, then you may have not made enough partition space for the system. (Either way, you shouldn't use this one, use NAND WITH dataonext).
but if you mean 1- NAND with DataOnExt, then it is either your partition size is too small or you do not have a proper sdcard ext partition.

It's the same thing. When you select "Install ROM" in ROM Manager, it will actually reboot your device into CWM and you will have to follow the steps of Aroma as well. Yes, you can use it if you have cLK bootloader and not magldr.
You are welcome

According to your answer, I have to download AROMA installer and use it for installing new Rom. In DataOnExt version will 1 Gb partition be enough?

No, Aroma is *included* in the .zip file of the ROM. Just download the ROM, flash from recovery normally but instead of the usual text of procedure, you'll see a fancy screen where you get to configure the ROM before it is installed.
In my opinion, yes, 1GB is more than enough.

recover

CWM is independent from the ROM you install.
If you are talking about "boot into recovery" from within the ROM, that's a rom's feature and does not have to be included in it. You can reach the recovery by rebooting your phone into MAGLDR and then choosing the option AD. Recovery or something like that.

Just to add a little to Marvlesz's answer, reboot into recovery/bootloader on any ROM will just reboot the phone normally if you have MAGLDR. To access CWM just hold power for the MAGLDR menu then select 8. AD Recovery. If you use cLK on the other hand, reboot into recovery does work if I'm not mistaken.

I tried to install this ROM using various settings (DataOnExt / Native SD, wipe/no wipe, magldr / ppp...) but phone always ends up rebooting itself after htc loading screen. I did partition SD card to FAT 32 (primary) and 1GB EXT4 (primary).
What could be the problem and how to solve it?
Thank you!

What /system partition size did you use? Make sure it's big enough for the ROM you're trying to flash.

EXT4 = 1GB. I partitioned SD card with Mini Tool Partition Wizard, then copied Zip on SD card, wiped data (factory reset + dalvik) installed ROM. To me it feels like I did everything according to instructions...

No, not your SD EXT partition, the partition you flashed when flashing CWM.

I have 150 mb. So for this ROM should I use 250 or 400?

285. To create that, go to wherever your CWM thing is stored on your PC, open the CWM folder, open the file flash.cfg (not flash.cfg.txt.) in notepad (it should open in this way automatically) then change the value next to the line beginning 'SYSTEM...' from 150 to 285, keeping everything else exactly the same.
