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.
NEED HELP ^^

Likewise i am getting it with hyperdroid v12

I've just got it with HD2 NDT MIUI GINGER ROM V13.0 Multilang :/ I reinstalled magldr,clm and the rom and formated in clm but still get the error! :S

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!

AD SD Booting not working :(

Hello,
I have installed Magldr 1.3 + NANRDOID MDJ 2.6 ..
I am unable to go to the boot from ad sd option ... As in if i have to update any .zip file .. and I choose the option for ad sd boot .. it will get stuck in GO GO GO screen ..
Please help me ..
I have used task 29 and installed everything again ..
NOTE : I have installed a new sd card and updated the recover_250 file also.
Thanks ...

Have you installed a CWM 1.3 partition? You need to flash a partition from here to provide you with CWM Recovery. I know you say you have a recover_250 file, but is it the latest version?
To go to CWM you need to select the AD Recovery option not Boot AD SD.

If you are using magldr 1.13 with cwm 1.3 partitions you no longer go to Boot AD SD. To enter CWM you need to go to AD Recovery on magldr menu.

I had the same problem.
but now i have another problem which recovery should i take? 150 250 400???

This depends on what ROM you want to install using CWM. A large ROM like a Desire HD build requires more then a light ROM with only the essentials baked in. If you really aren't sure what to flash just check the guide accompanied with the ROM.

does this mean that I have to install CWM every time i want to install another ROM??

Technically, no. Not unless the partition layouts for the different ROM's you are trying are different and in turn they require you to run DAF (which re-partitions your NAND storage).
If they are the same then your partition layout won't be changed and your recovery partition, which is where CWM resides, won't be affected at all when switching ROM's.

but i could also install the biggest one(400) and everything would work because I can't have a too small partition???
could that work??

[Q] Need help installing hyperdroid

Hello I'm currently using Rafdroid.
I already have cmw and such installed. What do I need to do to get rid of rafdroid and install hyperdroid? Also how do I do a nandroid backup? when i choose "AD Recovery" i get the message:"No boot source"
Thanks

You do not have cwm installed then, it was deleted somehow. Reflash the 150MB layout I've attached, then attempt going back into ad recovery.

Thanks it worked. However, I think something wrong happened with all my applications. I didn't install them on this rom yet, but when I started the phone they are spamming errors. What do I do?
Edit, nevermind. It's all working. This rom is pretty devastating.

Hi,
ROM Manager ONLY works with cLK,NOT magldr.
Use THIS TOOL (Don't forget to thank him)
to re-install magldr

Magdlr is still installed, just Option 8 does not work. Will this reinstall MAGDLR and Clockwork Mod?

Hi,
To install CWM,use the installer...
Top line,magldr update recovery,choose the size of the partition you want for your new ROM and click update in bottom left hand corner.

It didn't work. Said no space left on the device

Hi,
No memory left means the last version of recovery you installed was smaller than the current one. You need to completely repartition MAGLDR in order to install new version in that case.

Is there an average partition size and cache size? I need to choose?

Hi,
I think you should start the process again from the beginning.
Task 29
Install magldr
Install CWM by using the partition you want for your new ROM.So look at the [OP] of your new ROM, get the CWM partition and flash that.
Then you can go straight to installing the ROM.

[Q] please help regurding the clock work mod recovery

Hello every one. im using hyperdroid cm7 rom, i just flashed it two weeks ago with the MAGLDR 1.13 and the clock work mod v1.3_150MB but now im having a problem with clock work mod recovery and that is when i try to load the clock work mod recovery it says "invalid image" something like that and it dosent load the clock work mod recovery and goes back to the MAGLDR1.13 menu so how i should deal with it should i re-flash the clock work mod 1.3_150mb recovery? and if i do this will i have any problem with the rom or will lose any thing? please help me and thanks in advance to all.....

Wow 40 views not a single reply i think i asked a wrong question....

I would reinstall CWM. Be sure to install the CWM recommended by the Rom's chef as they can be different partition size. You should not loose your data by reflashing CWM. I believe the partition you are looking for 150M. Here is a link: http://www.multiupload.com/41E9UMRO45

Yea re flashing cwm will wipe all the nand partitions because they are all re created empty. If you have been using an ext partition you can save the contents of that, I.e your installed apps, , and if the rom you were on put the whole data part there you can maybe save your data too, tho I suspect you will have to bite the bullet and start from scratch.

I do not really understand your problem...
Why do you go into CWM if you already loaded the ROM and using it successfully?
What do you want to do??
To get to CWM, go to Magldr select option 5 I believe (Recovery) press GREEN (call) button and you'll get CWM menu.
Does that answer your question?

Recovery is option 8.
I assume the issue was created be cause you tried ROM Manager with MAGLDR, it will mess up your phone. (use ROM Manager only with cLK Bootloader)

thanks
