after i install a .zip from ClockworkMod it says installation complete.
but it just sits on the HTC screen after a reboot.
the OS never boots. i never get to a boot animation.
just "htc" screen.
ill list my specs.
HSPL 2.08
RADIO: 2.15.50.14
MAGDLR 1.11
i flashed CWM with these settings in flash.cfg
misc ya 1M
recovery ya|ro 5M
boot ya|boot|ro 8M
system ya 120M
cache ya 30M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
i am trying to install the Stock MIUI from jan-willem3
and yes ive checked this thread. because this guy had the same problem. i dunno if anything worked for him.
ive tried other zip roms. still to no avail.
and ive tried other radios. other flash.cfg settings in CWM
continueing to use USB FLASHER in MAGDLR is alright.
but most devs are switching to zips. or not offering a MAGDLR USB NAND flash
bumping this since it got buried and no one can help.
did you flash the partition layout?
basically this:
4. boot into magldr and select USB Flasher option while phone is connected to PC
5. Run DAF.exe included in the zip and follow onscreen instructions.

so yah i did that. didnt make a difference.
i need some help guys. quit ignoring this thread.
after 6 full installs of cwm i finally got a zip rom flashed.
now i just hope i wont wanna switch in awhile.
thanks for all the help.
i wont be posting on this website anymore.
seeing as how helpful the community is.
Dear Friends,
I usually flash ZIP Android using CWM, through menu no.8 in MAGLDR menu. CMW was flashed via USB Flasher menu no.5 in MGLDR menu.
But after several times of failures, I gave up. I hope somebody can inform me what went wrong.
Here is the issue:
After flashing CWM (partition layout) and try to go into recovery mode, the screen says:
"ANDROID LOAD RAW
ERROR: ERROR: Cannot read kernel image"
I tried so many attempts but always like that. I did task 29, reflashing MAGLDR, radio, I even tried to go back to Winmo and back again to reflash HSPL 2.08 and so on. But no luck
I remember that this happen after I tried flashing CWM using SD Card method (via menu no.2 in MAGLDR). If I used this method, I can go into recovery mode. I dont like this method, because I never succeeded flashing ZIP ANdroid using this method. That is why I want to go back to recovery mode via menu no.8 in MAGLDR.
Is the problem related with what i did (flashing CWM via SD Card method)? Is the NAND is damaged?
Is there a way to solve that?
Many thanks in advance

Which one? is it the one with CWM partitioner lay out?
This one was flashed when I tried to flash: Ultimate Droid v.3.1.1.v2:
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 150M
cache ya 30M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
And this one is the standard one with 150MB lay out:
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 150M
cache ya 44M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
I used either one as per instruction in the relevant thread
hmm, and there is deffinitely a file called recovery-raw.img in the same folder? do you get any error messages on the phone screen when you flash the cwm layout?

Yes. Never happened before until I flashed cwm using ad method as explained in the following:

once you install CWM you are installing a rom from zip arent you?
if you just install cwm then it wont boot any existing rom, thats what i have found from past experience

After flashed Recovery via AD SD boot, I flashed the ROM. But it won't boot. So, I decided to reflashed Recovery via USB FLasher (of course I did task 29, flash MAGLDR again).
After that, I went into MAGLDR menu and selected no.8 (AD Recovery). And, it wont boot to Recovery. It says ERROR cannot read kernel image.
My point is that I want to flash ROM via CWM (this CWM was flashed via USB Flasher), but the CWM itself failed to boot (after successful flashing).
I dont have problem boot into CWM if it is flashed via AD BOOT (menu no.2 in MAGLDR) and I cant flash the ROM (though the ROM fails to boot).
Any idea?
ive not used that edited/tweaked cwm, but two things come to mind.
First off, latest magldr required, check? (im not scrolling back to read, so sorry if you already said that)
and secondly, from teh error you are getting, it can only be that somewhere, (possibly when you are restoring from a backup taken when there was no recovery partition?) you are either wiping the recovery partition, or you arent loading back the contents of the recovery partition.

Yes Magldr 1.13. I didn't restore any nandroid backup. How can I restore if recovery failed to boot?
It seem this tweaked cwm did/wrote something In the NAND that cannot be erased by task 29 or by flashing stock rom. I stiil can bot recovery through AD boot (menu no.2 in magldr) the tweaked recovery show version 3.0.1.9. Maybe I
should try mtty?
think id concentrate on getting back to winmo stock with an sd card flash, wipe the lot and start over yet again.
As far as I remember, after you flash magdlr 1.13 you need to flash CWM to get the menu point 8 (ad recovery) working. Magdlr 1.13 itself doesn't have the CWM built in, but it supports CWM.

Like I said, I did start it all over again
But, still it didnt help. That is why I am beginning to think that task 29 does not erase all NAND or else there is a damaged/defect in the physical NAND. Should I try use MTTY?

Yes I know. There are 3 methods (as I know from XDA ) to boot Recovery Clockword Mode (CWM). Firstly, flashing via USB Flasher (menu no.5) and after flashing, we should select menu no.8 to go into CWM mode (this one is the issue I am talking about), secondly, flashing via AD Boot (menu no.2), it will directly bring you into the CWM menu, and thirdly, using cLK (which I never try it).
I just wanted to try the second method and it works. However, due to the partition lay out issue (as far as I am concerned, the second method doesnt provide flexibility in providing partition lay out. it uses 150MB lay out). So, for the ROM requires different partition layout, I need to flash CWM in accordance with the relevant ROM requirement. This can only be done if we flash CWM via First method. When I flash CWM (for different partition lay out), it seems flashing successful , but when I selected menu no.8 to go into CWM mode it then says: "Error, cannot read kernel image".
Up to now, I can only boot CWM using second method. I just hope the dev of this method can provide a way to flash different partition lay out or did I miss something?
thanks
does this occur with the standard content of raiderx' recovery download, for example the 400m layout...? you can try to edit the "recovery" line inside flash.cfg: remove "filesize" and instead type "6M", so it shows
...
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr 6M recovery-raw.img
...
maybe there are bad blocks on NAND (which is normal, especially after excessive flashing, which is native to us hd2 users due to the mass of roms available for it ) which are causing this.
alternatively you can try to first delete the original "recovery-raw.img" inside the original raiderx recovery folder and then copy the new one; or to use another windows machine (or harddrive in your computer, if exist). maybe there is sth wrong...?
if all you've tried already and other tipps isn't / aren't working, it would be interesting to know if this occurs if you're using cLK; pure testing purpose
i hope you'll get this running... the sd method is no solution in my opinion.

Thank Bro, I will try your suggestion and let u know the result.
I also guess there is something wrong with the NAND, maybe the cluster, block, etc. Maybe need to be defragmented (is there any app for doing that?)
I use standar 150MB partion layout from Raider x and also 135MB layout for flashing Typhoon Cyanogenmod.
I still can flash using DAF, but since there is only few ROM for this method, then I would prefer to go through via CWM
thanks again
sure, no problem! one additional question: this really started out since you've used the sdcard files?
cwm is essential and really needed, especially as the most of chefs doesn't provide DAF ROMs anymore. you want to flash typhoon cm7, right? if nothing is working for you, i'll create a daf version for you, so that you at least can use this ROM. just let me know.

Yes, since I tried the SD card CWM (no offense Bro )
You are right, CWM is app you cant live without it if you are an Android lover
I highly appreciate if you can provide DAF version. I only knows how to convert from ZIP to DAF but not the other way round
Many thanks
k, i will create it todays evening ~ 20:00 gmt+1; but first, pls try to test the other tipps (6M for adding "some spare blocks" and if nothing helps cLK pls).
i'll pm you if i'm ready ok?
i have to do it tomorrow; today i've painted the livingroom of a friend and didn't go home. that's ok? or is there sth new on your side? did you test cLK?
greetings

No need to push yourself mate I am patient enough to learn
For installing cLK, I will do it later because I have to learn it since I am not familiar with it (or else if you have or know tutorial for newbie, i would go for it)
I will start with flashing with Recovery with 150MB layout provided by Raider x. Currently I am using Winmo with HSPL 4.
Here is what I will do:
1. Turn of the phone.
2. Go into bootloader mode
3. Task 29
4. Flashing HSPL 2.08
5. Flashing MAGLDR 1.13
6. Flashing CWM 150MB via USB Flasher in MAGLDR menu no.5
7. Boot into Recovery Mode via MGLDR menu no.8
This is the point where i got the problem. If it works, then I can go into Recovery mode to install ZIP ROM , but if fails then it will say Error: cannot read kernel image and it will bring me back to MAGLDR screen.
EDIT:
After flashing MAGLDR 1.13, the phone reboot and I unplugged the usb cable.
It booted and the screen says:
"Booting Android from SD
Android load at 11800000
from Micro SD
Load zimage
k: / zimage
ssSD kernel open failed"
then it brought me to MAGLDR screen menu.
I thought it is normal, isnt it?
then I flash CWM using USB flasher via menu no.5
After flashing CWM complete, the phone reboot and again it showed the above screen and finally went back into MAGLDR screen.
Here is the same old problem. In MAGLDR screen, I selected menu no.8 in order to boot the Recovery mode.
But it failed and the screen says:
"LOAD ANDROID RAW
ERROR: ERROR: cannot read kernel image"
So, it happens again.
Before I continue with the next trial, I wanna hear your opinion about that.
BTW, the winmo before I started this, is ENERGY ROM.
PC I used is WIN XP SP2.
Battery is full, SIM CArd was in but Micro SD was removed.
Do you think I miss something?
Thanks in advance
Combining a DAF rom with CWM
This assumes you have magldr 1.13. if you have an older version, backup your rom data, and flash magldr 1.13 first.
A few times there have been posts asking about applying clockworkmod whilst keeping using a DAF rom.
Here's how.
Image 1 - Top left DAF rom folder contents, top right CWM folder contents, bottom middle, combined contents to a new folder.
Copy only system.img and boot.img from the DAF rom folder, and ALL files from the CWM folder, combine into a new folder as per image 1.
In the new combined folder, find flash.cfg, open it in notepad.
(open notepad and drag the file into the empty window)
Edit the boot and system lines to include the filename, and adjust the size of the system line so that it is bigger than system.img
Image 2 - Top left DAF flash.cfg, top right CWM flash.cfg, bottom middle, combined flash.cfg which started out as the CWM flash.cfg and now references the two extra .img files, system.img and boot.img, plus the size of the system partition has been adjusted to allow system.img to fit.
Save flash.cfg
Boot phone into magldr, USB flashing, run DAF.exe just like normal.
Hey presto, CWM is applied and the DAF rom is installed all in one go.
If you did a backup first using titanium, for example, you should now be able to restore your apps and data without issue, and you should also now be able to boot into CWM from magldr by choosing 8 - AD recovery, and you can now use teh CWM backup and restore feature, plus flash CWM roms.
Note that the 300meg system partition used in this example is just that, and example, simply because i used the original DFT release to test this TUT. You could just as easily use 260meg. So long as it is bigger than the system.img by a meg or two it should be fine.
If you want to change to a smaller rom (or bigger) you would need to flash normal cwm again (not this combined one) using a smaller(bigger) partition layout.
Note that flashing a small rom into a big system partition (example a 130meg cm7 rom into this 300meg system partition) will NOT cause any problems, you would just waste 170meg.
Nice work Sam, the screen shots made it really easy to understand also. I will be the first to hit the thanks button, even though I prefer to use CWM to flash my Adroid ROMs and not DAF.
Now if yo could figure out how to flash cLK and CWM at the sametime that would be awesome.
Thanks,

yea, me too, and it does have limited uses, but having seen three or four posts asking how they could (for example) use the cwm backup/restore with a DAF rom, i figured id write it up.
As for cLK, i still havent managed to flash cLK on its own! let alone with anything else, hehe. (my fault, im sure, im not blaming anything else, , user error, for sure)

Oh yeah it is a reason why ROM chefs right for "experienced user" above the cLK instructions I am whale to get cLK flashed and get CWM flashed but still have not got a ROM flashed using it as I did not have a cLK compatible ROM at that point. So I Task 29ed and flash MAGLDR and then CWM then Hyperdroid back to my HD2. I downloaded the cLK compatible ROM night before last but before I could reflash CLK and CWM I accidently busted the LCD screen on my laptop
As soon as AI actually get a ROM flashed using CLK and CWM I will add it to my guide.
You beat me to the punch with this one
Nice TUT man, haven't tried it but I've been curious for a while if this could work. Will try!

I tried again! I was able to flash the ROM! the phone booted but it gave me directly that my internal memory is almost full notification and many process unexpectedly closed errors! i turned off the phone rebooted but its now stuck on HTC splash screen repeating over and over again without booting into android! Please help!
This is an outdated tutorial. You should pick the rom you want, put it on the SD card, then into magldr, USB flasher, run the "android toolkit" and use it to set whatever partition size you require, reboot,into magldr, option 8 ad recovery, that starts cwm, then choose instal zip from SD - choose zip. Done.
Hi there again, I searched the forum but I couldnt find an answer so,
I got a TMOUS HD2
Using HD2 Toolkit
HSPL and Radio are installed,
Task29 Done,
MagLDR and Recovery Installed ( DAF.exe )
there is no problem here but I'm trying to flash a ROM, it stops while recovery installing it from SD card near 75% No errors, No other things just stops.
This will be my third android flash to same TMOUS model ( bought at the same time ) but other two was good, I dont get it. What is the problem ?
which rom do you try,what cwr partition does the rom want, what cwr partition did you make?
Make sure you have a t mobile version, make sure you have the right size partition make sure you have a magldr version and format your SD card (not quick format) along as you have done all that and your above steps it should work

Magldr or cLK installation?
lite or full version?
What steps did you take to install rom...
Hi
Thanks for your reply
i tried both magldr and clk installation for full rom version net lite
i am really confused because when i explore more roms I see different installation methods, for example in some threads i saw something about partitioning sd card via clk but in some there is no sign of it, would you plz tell me what i should exactly do step by step?
real thanks
Well if you installed the full version of that rom you need to create an ext partition otherwise it will not boot, and yes this can be done from within cwm recovery. beware when you do this you will lose all data on your sd card.
Some good reading here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021837 thanks to ]T-Macgnolia.
And I would recommend []Hyperdroid cm7 as it is stable and fast with everything working as it should be!!!
Edit: best to use the HD2 Nand Toolkit for partitioning your nand and don't forget to do a task29 if changing between clk and magldr, link here.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783... Big thanks to ksubedi
