Do you have HardSPL 2.08 and a new 2.**.50.** Radio flashed?
What version of Magldr do you have?
Are you trying to install a Magldr (*.exe) or ClockworkMod (*.zip) Rom?
Please list EXACTLY what you did and what happened as the information you gave doesnt tell us anything.
Mark.
As I was answering you question I realised that i have used the wrong android file, so Now its working... hehe..
The only problem is now the storage on the phone, ther is almost no space on the phone... When I set up active sync on my phon, will the emails take place in the phone or the SD card?

I think the low storage issue is most probably coz of your /system partiton (400mb cfg file?). Now I don't know what size your roms /system cfg file should be (next time link to your rom, makes it easier for us to solve your problem), therefore I can't give an accurate answer right now, but to increase space you either have to find what /system your rom uses and flash cfg accordingly or make an EXT2/3/4 partiton on your sd card and use a2sd.

I have the Desire version on my HD2, and i dont have Apps2SD.
I made partitions on my SD card (FAR32 of 6.5GB and EXT3 of 1GB).
What do you mean with: "use a2sd" and "flash cfg"?
Ok, as far as I can tell this is the rom you are using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010498?
Did you follow the exact instructions in post 2? Its seems that you forgot to edit flash.cfg file. Do a fresh install following the guide in in post 2, word by word.
I did not change the flash file..
it says:
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 8M
system ya 120M
cache ya 8M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
Witch step do I start from?
I used this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013852
According to your rom.s thread you'd need to edit this line system ya 120M to system ya 150 from your flash.cfg and reflash hope that'll help. One more thing to use sd-ext partition download data2ext from the same page.
I now did it over again, but still have low space..
I think I even have less internal space now...
only 172 mb
Can you explain "to use sd-ext partition download data2ext from the same page." in a way a girl can understand?
That's it, there wont be more than that, maybe if you tweaked the flash.cfg you'd get ~50M more. That's where you sd-ext will come into play, its the same as your internal space but hosted in your SD, and that's where your apps and data will be stored, instead of the actual interal memory.

But how can I tweak that file... so I get more space..
Im so confused...
Sorry for all the stupid questions...
If you implement sd-ext then you don't need the extra space coz your ext2/3/4 will be used instead. As for data2sd, I think the rom you are using has a2sd, which means that if you had setup an ext2/3/4 then a2sd will automatically detect you ext partition and will install all your apps there (ext partition).
In any case here is a link to increase internal memory http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11189394&postcount=1826, now this is rom specific and I don't know if it'll work with your rom.
Ok I tried to ext sd card to 2048M and chose swap size 0M hope that will work..
MY SD card is 16gb
But it says please wait and have been like this for a long time now..
I did it!!!! Who would have known that a girl could do this!!

Hurrah. Nice to know that u got it working, in the end that's all it matters. Have fun.
Im kinda new to this but i have been reading & trying for a few days before asking for help but i feel i am stuck now.
I have gone through the process & installed a small rom with clockworkmod using a 150mb partition & it went ok.
Now i want to install a larger rom eg. pyramid_HTC_WWE_1.35.401.1_v1.5_EU.zip (338mb) using clockworkmod & this is where i have the problem, i have followed the steps but when installing the rom it freezes just under halfway install.
Using bootloader I have now used Task29 for a clean install, then installed MAGLDR113, using MAGLDR i used option 5 (USB flasher) & installed the unzipped () to make a partition for the larger rom.
After reboot i went to magldr option 8.AD Recovery & loaded clockworkmod, advanced then partition SD card, chose EXT size=1024, swap size=0M then rebooty.
Now am i supposed to see 4 partitionson my SD card because i cant?
one page i read that i should now transfer my ROM.zip to my Sd card, & i also read on another page that i should go to "mounts & storage" & chose "format sd-ext" I have tried both ways!
With the rom.zip on my card, i chose the "install zip from sdcard" option etc, it installs to just under half way then just stays there for ages, how long should this take for a 338mb zip file?
So i giveup, battery out & try it with a smaller zip (hyperdroid-cm7) 69mb zip & it installs ok, so where am i goin wrong??
Q1, after partitioning the SD card am i supposed to see 4 partitions on the card? because i dont, maybe i should partition it on my pc, do i just divide it into 4 partitions & name then ext, ext1, ext2, ext3? or is there a guide for doin it on ur pc?
Q2.can anyone see where else i might be going wrong?
I feel i am just doin the same thing over & over so thanks for any help you can give.
Something strange i have noticed that if i use the HD2 toolkit to try & create a 400mb partition i get an error sayin something about not enough space, i have to use a seperate Recovery_400M.zip that i downloaded from the NFEUMAN pages?
first of all your sd card patition is right. you must have 2 partitions, fat 32 and sd-ext. now in hd2 nand tool kit choose mgldr partition size as 'custom' then cache size 5MB then click repartition in usb flasher mode then write 190 in the opening window not 400. that's all.
I have managed to get the rom to bootup now after waiting for ages, but when booted it says the memory is low so im guessing its not using the SD card, when i look at the SD card i do not see any partitions so the partitioning tool in clockworkmod hasnt worked, is there a better way to partition the SD card for use with the rom?
you can see the partition in your sd by root explorer apk. or you can dowload to your pc mini tool partition magic an you can manage your partitions. windows doesn't see it.
Theres no mention when partitioning your SD card that you wont be able to see the partitions, i think they should mention that in the tutorials.
I downloaded gparted to partition my SD card & when i loaded it i could see that it had in fact worked when i had done it before.
I installed Apps2SD+ to see if it would sort out the low memory problem but the phone wouldnt boot, i waited 20 mins but it just stayed at the strtup screen.
I am doin it over again now with the partition size you suggested so hopefully this will work, should this allow more space for apps with this partition size?
i used the rom you try to use a few days ago. you dont have to install apps2sd etc. the rom just do that. so wipe everything and flash the rom, you will not face any room problem. to free some ram,you can use built in task manager or a task killer.
Hey mutil i have reinstalled the rom & it seems to be working great, but how do i use apps2SD? when i install new apps will they automaticly be installed to the SD card now, or do i have to chose the options somehow? thx.
yes they will go directly to sd-ext. if some applications like angry birds give force close error then get titanium backup from market, find the app that gives errorin titanium, long press on the app then choose 'move to sd'.
mutil thx for that advise. i just wanna ask you, before you installed the rom, what size clockwork mod recovery partition did you use? I used 190 as suggested above, but now reading back through the thread i see you can use a 170mb partition. Is it would be worth me doing it again as a 170mb partition, would i get any benifit do you think?
It doesn't worth to make a new partition. There will not be a great difference. Good luck.

if you mean by choosing settings - app settings - manage apps and choosing to move an app to sd card, thats not how ext works, what that does is takes it FROM the ext partition and puts it in the FAT partition.
The apps should all be set to use internal memory, and the system will put them in the ext partition without you doing anything.

I advise installing Link2SD, I had a similar problem and this program fixed it for me.
Just mount the storage space and then you will be able to create link (that means moving the app to ext partition).
Hope it helps.
i haven't used miui so i can only comment on cm7 roms with a2sd+.
Did you create teh ext yourself? because i have read that if the ext and fat are not in the correct order (i cant remember which should be first, which second), if they arent the correct way around the system wont see the ext.
Have you used an android browser to look at the contents of teh ext? is it REALLY empty?

one other thing is that the internal memory will go down when you instal something, but REALLY the app has gone to EXT, and the internal free memory will go back up after a reboot. Its a free memory display bug. The system just assumes it has used the space up without checking it until after a reboot.
So you install a 20mb app, the internal memory drops 20mb, but after a reboot has gone back up 20mb.
Just a thought.
If you partition your sd card in GPartEd, your FAT32 partition should be first (on the left) followed by your ext3 partition.
Or you could use CWM or even ROM Manager (I think, not 100% sure about ROM Manager) to partition your card.
Try flashing this in CWM Recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=749299&d=1318560772
And then when you reboot, go into your terminal emulator app and type:
su (press enter)
a2sd reinstall (press enter)
It should then say a bunch of stuff, and then your phone will reboot and take a long time to boot back up, because it is moving all your apps to your ext3 partition.
I would really recommend using gparted to partition your card, it's very reliable, gives you the most control over what you're doing, and you can download an iso to make a bootable cd of it if you don't use Linux. Google 'GParted Live CD'. (But why wouldn't you use Linux???)
Do a CWM NanDroid backup before you do any of this, in case your rom is not A2SD compatible and it screws something up. Then you'll be able to revert back to your present state. I can't stress the CWM backup enough, especially because I'm not sure if MIUI roms are A2SD compatible or not. Either way, I think it's worth a shot.
Back your sd card up to your computer before partitioning it, as it will wipe everything from it.
So,I did this: Wiped all and installed rom again,app2sd gui now working (apps are on sd) but i still have a little space left. Only installed apps I really need and i have less then 30% available.
I even linked all apps I could with link2sd app.
I dont know,I will try to reboot now and see if something happened.

You only have a little space left on internal memory or in your ext partition?
You have a EURO HD2, so you're not gonna have a bunch of internal memory no matter what. Your ext won't show up in Settings/Storage/SD Card.
In order to see how much ext space you have left, look in the A2SD GUI app.
How much space is left in each of those? (ext and internal)
If you are using the A2SD that I linked in my previous post, you won't have to use the link2sd app.
It creates the symlinks to the sd ext partition on its own.
How big of an ext partition did you put on your sd card?

what system partition size have you flashed?
what size partition does the rom (you still havent linked to teh rom you flashed so we cant look ourselves) say you need?
because that doesn't count towards internal space, so for example if your rom requires a 150 meg system partition, and you flash a 250meg system partition, you will lose the extra 100mb. you wont be able to use it for apps or data, it will be dead space.

hello everyone
I have my htc hd2 several times already reinstalled with android,
Until recently, no problems but now after installing setup by rebooting I went to see internal storage 0.0 B free therefore can not install apps.
Have different android versions even tried it first did.
When I go back to windows I see free internal memory.
I also used MTTY_ver_1.42 and badblock that I had got away.
Do hspl 2.08, radio 2.15, magldr 1.13, cwm-recovery 5.0.2.6.
android versions I have tried are:
NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.3a-(Android 2.3.7)
TouchWizMOD_v2.1
NexusHD2-Jelly Bean-CM10.1_V2.4
One-S v1.1
Slimroms_LeoV8.0.
Who can help me?

Wait, what do you mean by "go back to windows"? How do you have windows and still able to install android in the NAND?
I mean back to the original ROM install windows again.
When I look at memory I see that there is free memory.
If I then continue walking to android is set up from the outset, I see all the steps after the installation of internal memory 0.0 Kb

... I'm confused.. Where exactly do you see this 0kb? And why are you even looking at it? And why would you even flash WinMo after having Android? They have don't share internals. In fact, installing WinMo erases Android and its bootloaders. (Unless you're running NativeSD, which yet again, resides in the sd card and is NOT affected by the internal storage)
If you can't install apps, maybe the 4GB partition is full? (though I doubt that)
But have you tried a fresh install? (formatted SD card, all partitions?)
if I have installed android and I look at settings and memory than I see in internal memory 0 Kb stand when I want to download an app I get the message that I have no free internal memory.
The reason I had installed the original windowsrom was because I wanted to completely put out android again, I had the idea that it might be good what went sadly was not.
I formatted my sd card several times already and ext4 partition remains the same.
I also tried native but also the same.

I use my PC to an ext4 partition to get the message but can not mount during install, I use mini tool partition wizard.
I have tried TWRP recovery.
But unfortunately still not the solution
OK, try this: Completely format the sd card and create only 1 FAT32 partition, don't create an EXT partition. Now insert the card into your phone and boot into recovery, go to "Partition SD card" and choose 2GB and (if asked) choose ext4. Choose 0 swap and select OK/next.
Now make sure your NAND is partitioned correctly (system & cache), then copy the ROM and flash it from recovery, choose DataOnExt. Report back.
I made 1 partition on my sd card of 32Gb. made there in TWRP after 1 ext4 partition of 4GB nand to due to the overview of the android ROM.

No, the RAM has nothing to do with your internal. Have you followed the guide I linked you to?
Also, try to delete an app (a preferably big one) and see if your NAND gets any more free.
Hi,
I have two Nook Color tablets that are running CM11 on SD. The SanDisk microSDs are 16GB each.
I have a constant problem that the space for Apps runs out. So I can't update apps or download any new. The only thing these NCs are used for are Apps. & web browsing. So I don't need alot of space for other tings like saving videos, music & files.
Is is possible to increase the size for the "volume" where the apps are saved?
Thanks in advance.

Is is possible to increase the size for the "volume" where the apps are saved?
Thanks in advance.

You must be running some very large apps because the space is already generous. But yes, you can use partitioning software to change the allocation. But you need to start over fresh. Make the SD and boot once before adding the CM rom zip. Use partitioning software like MiniTool and decrease the size of partition 4 (from the front of the partition), then expand partition 3 to fill the space. That gives you less for media and more for apps. Then install the CM zip and gapps.

Thank you for your information. I have now re-imaged (v1.3-largest-rev8c) the two 16GB SD-Cards with Win32diskimager, that i have for my two Nook Colors, installed "MiniTool Partition Wizard 9.0" & decreased the size of partition 4 [SDCARD(FAT32)] to 8.0GB. "Apply" on that & then start Resize partition 3 (Ext4) . But I can´t resize that one to use the unallocated space. Isen't it possible to resize an Ext4 partition?
Anyhow, My solution was to delete the third partition. Create a new Primary Ext4 partition. I diden't choose any Cluster size (1/2/4KB) more that let it be as "Default". This way I now have a 5.6GB third partition (for apps), instead of the default that had 1.9GB . I hope this helps me with my out of space problems. Installation of latest Nightly is running.
Unfortunately it looks like it diden't was successfull. The Cyanoboot only loops around now. It says "Loading..." then it gets black & after a while it start over again.
I suppose that the third partition wasen't empty. That't why it dosen't work for me.
Is it possible to re init that partition with data like the first run did? Or do we have another suggestion of partitioning program that can expand an existing Ext4 partition, in Windows, on a SD-Card?
I have now tried with "Paragon Partition Manager". Then it was possible to resize. But still the same problem with loop at boot after installing CM11.
Are there any limit of how large the third partition can be?
Hmmm... Now I have redone everything again, without any modifications to the partitions. But still the same problem, Cyanoboot just loops. Do we have a problem with the nightly? cm-11-20150405-NIGHTLY-encore.zip
The reason I told you to start over is an ext4 partition must be empty to be resized. And if you don't start really fresh your data will still be there. And by fresh I mean taking the card back to a full 16Gb and formatting it with a program like SDFormatter. Then you can reimage. And yes, you must not use new nightly on a new SD. You must start with CM11 CM11 or older. See my warning in the SD thread.

Okay, so... is this a step by step procedure that would work?
SD Formatter to fully format the SD-card
Win32diskimager with "v1.3-largest-rev8c"
Boot once so partitions are created
Decrease the size of partition 4 (from the front of the partition), then expand partition 3 to fill the space
Add the CM zip and gapps to SD-Card
Install the CM zip and gapps
Then I have done a new try, based on below steps,
SD Card Formatter V4.0 , Full(OverWrite) Took almost an hour for 16GB
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html
Used "Win32DiskImager 0.9.5" to write "generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-10.2-11-largest-Rev8c.img"
SD-Card mounted in NookColor, start it up to create partitions & filesystem.
SD-Card back into PC,
Resize partitions 3 & 4 with "Paragon Partition Manager™ 14 Free"
Insert SD-Card in NookColor & start, to make sure it still boots.
SD-Card back into PC,
Copy...
cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-encore.zip
gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip
... to SD-Card
Insert SD-Card back into NookColor & start it up, installation started to run.
After that the installation is finnished & that the NC it powered off. Power it up again & the CM11 will boot!
Success!
After first boot & configuration. I will update to latest Nightly, cm-11-20150405-NIGHTLY-encore.zip
Thank you for all help!

When you install the nightly (or any zip after M11), you will get an error message during install but you can ignore it. It only causes a problem during the FIRST install to the card. That's why you need to begin with M11.
