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] Please help! problem with nand android on hd2

Hi
I have a big problem and don't know what is wrong
I was using ultimate droid on nand on my hd2,than i decided to flash shiftpda rom v33 from boyPPC and the problems started. i installed it from my sd card using cwm and when phone rebooted first time magldr said something about missing kernel file. then i tried to flash it again,did task 29 several times,installed magldr and everything again. but it kept saying about missing kernel file. and when i try to install it again cwm says 'installation aborted'. so i decided to flash it from pc with daf.exe. installation was successfull,but phone just reboots over and over again... looks like it will never stop rebooting. dont know what to do please help...

can it be due to wrong radio?

Can you explain the exact steps you made to install this Rom?

well i will explain what am i'm doing right now. i run task 29 and installed radio 2.15.50.14. after that i installed mgldr 1.13. and on mgldr booting screen it said "sd open kernel failed". after that mgldr menu appears. then i choose usb flasher and install rom from the computer. it says installation successful and phone reboots. after that i see mgldr booting screen and everything looks just fine,then i see HTC screen and phone reboots again...and again and again and again. if i will just put the phone on the table it will just keep rebooting forever ((( am i doing anything wrong? i shouldnt because its not the first rom i am installing...and what does that "sd open kernel failed" message mean??? (

1) First of all, boot into MAGLDR and go to services (option 10). Go to boot settings, Boot source and make sure Android from Nand is selected.
2) Unzip the Boyppc v33 package on your computer and install his CWR DAF package that is included with the rom (The boot loops could be due to having the wrong CWR partition)
3) Load CWR and manually wipe data/factory reset, Go into advanced and wipe Dalvik Cache. Once this is done try and reinstall the V33 zip that you said you had already copied to your SD card. Hope this solves the problem

I've had the same problem twice now. "sd open kernel failed" i believe is shown in red correct? all i did to fix it was reflash MAGLDR & Clockworkmod Recovery then reflash the ROM.
i wish i knew why it happened but its always when im going from 1 ROM to the next & not just restarting my phone up. im thinking maybe it was just a bad flash or something but the steps above has fixed it for me now both times.

try to install recovery and intall a ron throught ur sd card ... rom that r instaleed from daf r pretty simple but maybe the rom was corrumpted during the download or there's a missing file that's not flashed to ur phone ... i suggest to install recovery and to copy ur rom to sd ...it's much simple than the first way

[Q] sense 3.5 roms stuck at boot screen

hi guys i have used the Recommands partition for the roms 1GB ext4 partition on my sdcard and tried 2GB, flashed WIPE IT and wiped dalvik also tried task29 and started from scratch, any help would be much appreciated really want to try sense 3.5
thanks

Hi, a possible cause of problem - check your zip file (ROM), copy it to PC and try to unpack, may be it's broken. Sometimes you don't have error message when flashing, but when check on PC it shows errors.

thanks mate i will give that a try

i just extract the 2 roms i have been trying to get to work they seems ok

have you got the correct partition size for the rom ?

Which Sense ROM are you using, anyways?

Try a ext 3 partition on your sdcard then run clean install

thanks guys im sure that i have the correct partition size used HD2 tools and i have been trying to run SENSATION XL ROM EU Clk V 1.0, TBD_Runnymede_sensation_xl and not sure if i have a ext 3 partition i used cLk to partition the sd card thanks again

Have a look at this it enables you to see your partition and convert or revert, might be of some interest to you..... Good Luck.

yep... just install via cmw and it will reboot go into ad recovery and you'll see some new options.
Note:Once you reboot it will be gone, if you want it back repeat install.
Nice and handy - Check it out..
Edit: I'm using 4EXTRecovery v2.1.3 RC2 - No problems.

i have had a go at 4EXTRecovery created ext3 and tried ext4 1gb partitions
and copied the rom over through 4EXTRecovery but the rom always hangs at wipe sd-ext

same problem
good morning everbody,
i have same problem - for days i am trying to flash a newer rom and after installing my phone is always keeping to show the bootup logo of each rom i flashed.
i use the magloader 1.13, the recovery 3.0.0.5 and the radio 15.
i am able to install the stock rom of winmo 6.5 from htc (vodafone) an everthing is fine. but going back to a custom android rom is not working anymore.
even if i try to go the "right" way, means:
having the winmo rom --> flashing radio --> flashing magloader --> flashing recovery --> wiping data/reset, wiping cache, wiping that dia*** --> putting rom.zip on the sd card via pc --> installing the zip via recovery. that all works until the phone has to boot. i tried over 8 different roms.
befor i startet to update, i hab an coredroid rom v1.3 and it was booting.
perhaps anybody knows whats my problem with this nd lets me now what i have too look for?
great thanx, cause until now i can only go back to my stock winmo rom and thats boring to me... :-(

I'd try this: Back up sd if required.
1/ Remove sd from ph and place in a card reader on pc use "SDFormatter" change options format type to Full (Erase) this will erase the Ext Partition & format the card. Put the card back in the ph.
2/ Volume Down + Power Tri color connect usb. Using "HD2 Toolkit" do Task29 this will wipe the ph.
3/ Tri color Using "HD2 Toolkit" install Magldr (don't know about cLK)
4/ Boot ph go into Magldr navigate To "usb flasher" Using "HD2 Toolkit" select "Magldr repartition" Make sure that you are using the recommended partition size for your rom! Flash partition as directed. Ph will reboot go into "ad recovery" "advanced - partition sd card" select 1024m - 0M this will create 3EXT partition. (Some roms are not compatible with 4Ext) Reboot into "Recovery" select "mount sd" move your "Rom.zip" to sd. Close "mount sd" and select "Install zip from sd - Choose zip from sd" select the zip and install and reboot! .....

thanks everyone for your help after a week digging it was my sd card put a new one in and now running sense 3.5 . thanks again

@ a3r0n1 :
thansk for your advise. it took me some days cause i had no time but after i did exactly what you wrote, my newest coredroid rom is running.
Many Thanks !!!!

[Q] **** Solved **** Cannot install Nand Roms....

:victory:****** Solved *******
Hi, thank you for all of your help and assistance.
It was all down to selecting the correct partitions (and me getting over enthusiastic in flashing roms and not reading FULLY on how and what partitions are required)
I have used HD2 Nand toolkit, and partitioned MAGLDR, then partitioned SD card within Clockworkmod.
Thank you all again for pointing me in the right direction...
Good Evening All,
I am sorry if this has been covered. I have searched the forums but cannot find an answer.
I have read all the FAQ and How-to's.
I am not an exact newbie, I have owned a HD2 before (about 2 years ago) and could install all sorts of different roms (including NAND)
I have Installed my Radio 2.15.50.14
I have installed HARD SPL 2.08
I have Installed MAGdlr 1.13
I ahve installed clockwork mod recovery 1.3 with 400M
Copied rom to root of SD Nexus HD2 jellybean v1.2 [dataonext]
and I have installed Nexus HD2 jellybean v1.2 [dataonext]
this installed fine,
I then decided to try another,
I downloaded QSEA_JB-MUSIC EDITION_V1 and placed on root of SD,
I booted into Magldr, then into clockwork mod
from here i wipe data, and factory reset,
wipe cache partition
and wiped delvic cache.
Then i install zip from sd card QSEA_JB-MUSIC EDITION_V1
when this is done,
It asks me to reboot,
Then it stays on the boot screen, and the rom does not load.....
I can restore the back up from the original rom install. but whatever rom I install (from Nand rom downloads) none of them install...
Please help...

1-Why? Use the HD2 NAND Toolkit to partition your system according to the developer.
2- Never reboot directly from the "reboot now" option of amarullz's installer. Instead, uncheck the "reboot now" option, click finish and reboot manually from CWM.
(The reboot option somehow makes your rom not boot, at least that happens to me every time)

Have already downloaded toolkit, and just watching the video on how to use...
Matt:fingers-crossed:

So, do I just use Magldr to partition and don't install CWM?
I tried to re-partition with CWM, but lost magldr.....
What am I doing wrong?
Still cannot install NAND rom.
Going to do Task 29 again, where from there??
Thanks for your help and patience...

I don't use magldr, so I am not sure.
But I think you have to "MAGLDR recovery update" first, and then after it finishes you have to "magdlr repartition". Im not sure though.

How do I just install clockwork mod? Without using Magldr?
If I Task29 first,
What's my next step.....?

After Task29 (don't do task29 again) you have to do the following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25781675#post25781675 until you see the "recovery" .. from there, dont continue to flashing wp7, just put your rom on your sd and flash it from recovery. (don't forget to thank the the one who made the thread/guide)
Don't forget to NOT use 300mb, but use the one written on your rom's thread.

You can't have CWM without MAGLDR. If you've flashed CWM you shouldn't have lost MAGLDR at all, so I don't know what you did wrong. Task 29s are also almost always useless and unnecessary, if a guide says 'task 29' as the first step then usually you can just skip that part. I find that the best guide is the one in my sig, try it out.
