OK. So the only rom I can get to work is cm7. I have like 15 Tom's on my SD card. But all of them get stuck on the boot screen. Does anyone know the main cause of this or is it rom specific?
Any help would be great.
I would prefer to use MARKINUXHD.
check my thread, it may help
btw, before installing a new rom, you are wiping data/cache/dalvik cache, and you are using the right cwm partition / cache right ?

Yea I always wipe everything. And alot of rom threads don't specify which CWM partition to use. How do I make a cache partition?
you need the right recovery size for the rom or it wont boot past the roms logo screen I've issued this before, read up on the rom ye want to see what partition recovery it needs, if not look up the clockwork mod instructions around the forum they may help with your situation

You should download the NAND toolkit from sticky thread in NAND section, it will help you allot.
By the way, when creating help topics like this, common sense should dictate you also post which specific roms you are trying to install, otherwise any advice anybody gives you is just blind or you make people waste time asking which rom you are trying to install.
List the main ones you want to try and we can advise on exactly what to do if it isn't clearly set out in the roms thread (which I doubt).

Well the installation instructions are included in that topic so if it isnt booting you are obviously not following them correctly.
Well I've only done NAND flashes.
So with markinux...
I took the .7z folder and extracted it in my sdcard. Does it need to be somewhere specific? Then ran MAGLDR. Boot ad sd. It booted up. But then it hung up on boot screen.
EDIT:
I tried LeoRCMix too. That hung up on gogogo.

Ok so you are trying to boot from SD via MAGLDR? That should have also been stated in your post.
Are you downloading the SD-MAGLDR rom or the NAND rom?
This is the one you need for sd-magldr.
If you are booting from SD then it doesnt matter what partition you have on nand as taht is for booting from nand.
Did you go into magldr settings and choose your AD SD folder location? If not go there, set it and try again. If you still have problems then you may need to properly format your card with Panasonic SDFormatter (Full>Overwrite+size Adjustment)
Ok thanks for the help. I'll try and let you know.
EDIT:
Can I just make a folder in my sd card, extract the .7z folder there, then boot ad sd?(as long as I set the right directory)
Cuz I tried that and still stuck at boot screen. Everything I have on my phone is in my signature. (radio etc.)

No.
As stated in the instruction, You need to extract the archive contents to the root of your card.
Also, have a little patience when booting for first time, Some roms need to extract files first before booting into OS, so boot and leave it be for 10-20 mins.
Where is the root of an sd card?
EDIT:
Is it just the main part? Where all my files sit?
EDIT 2:
Yup. x]

Hi there
i've had a search through the forums and google, but havent come up with anything...
the isue is, after flashing a new CWM NAND ROM on my HD2, the rom will load perfectly the first time. however the issue is when i try to reboot the phone... it loads through cwm, but hangs on loading the rom...
this has happened on several different rom's, and after several task29/mgldr/cwm re-flashes...
Any ideas?
Cheers

Have you tried doing absolutely nothing after first boot, other than skipping through the setup wizard? What I'm wondering is what you may be installing / doing that could be causing this.
One thing that could help is to run logcat with the phone connected during bootup and you could see what is causing it.

Yeah, looking at your log, you are definitely in a boot loop. Android keeps restarting after what looks like initializing the audio... looks like some files are missing.
What ROM are you using? Have you applied anything (updates) else at all through CWM other than the ROM? Does the ROM you are using require an SD-EXT partition? Is your SD card in the phone?

Which version of CWM are you using? Is it 1.13? Whatever it is, what size did you flash (the partition layout) for your system partition?

I'm using the latest versions of Magldr and CWM. I flashed a 250Mb system partition.

Are you sure that is a large enough partition? Is that what the ROM developer recommends?

just use the "daf" folder that comes with the build once you unzip it.
it has the CWR setting configuration all done ready for the build
just flash it.
My issue is: When phone loads android from NAND (sometimes it freezes in GO GO GO) I can use it some unpredictable time. FE. When I switching Mobile Network on it(after 1-2 it freezes). I even upgraded radio to 2.15. No changes still freezes. Second point is, when I turn off radio module and starting using dev. (FE while playing Angry Birds) it freezes again, with the noise on spekers. In my case I detaching battery and waiting for a while (because if you put battery again after a second) it freezes on GOGOGO again. WTF with device. Maybe it is a physical problem?
Dev is TMOUS HD2 16gb.
ps. When I used Android via SD same freeze always happened only with Angry Birds. In WinMo I didnt recognize such issues. Oooh. One more thing. When I tried to go back to WM 6.5 off.ROM. nothing happened after upgrade. I think my device will always live with Android till the end of the days. Thank you in advance!
i tried to flash an android NAND for the 1st time and i installed the radio 2.15.50.14 and the HSPL 4 and MAGLDR 1.13 and i did as they said to flash the rom n my HD is stuck at the MAGLDR screen telling me NAND kernl open failed !!
thanks in advance
Yes i know what you forgot
Now u have magldr
But you need a ROM to flash which is loaded by magldr
Go to the nand android section and choose a rom you want to have . There are several ways to install a rom.. One is to flash clockworkmod (just search a little bit and you will find a how to )), with it u can flash a rom from your sd card
There is much to say, but u should read the stickie thread where you will get all information you have to know

2 possibles,, either bad download, download it again, or,, you select choose zip from sd card, and not install update.zip
You should try to install the zip manually?! there is an option to install a zip of you choice.. Browse for your zip and install it..

Hi,
Each ROM will probably have different CWM partitions to flash before you try loading the ROM.Make sure you flash correct one.
Then make a note of the ROM.CWM does not find the ROM for you.
In ad recovery,choose install ROM from zip,then choose ROM from zip,Then scroll up and down with volume button until you find you zip.
Also make sure you place zip on root of your card using a card reader.
This will avoid any corruption of data in the transfer process.

Just currious, check your sd card, since you have CWR windows do partition by CWR, use card reader to copy your rom then put on phone, ensure you have zip file extension not rar/7zip or other compression type.
I have a problem too.
For some reason I can install the Wp7 DAF ROM
but cannot install the ANdroid versions of DAF roms
also phone straight goes to Magldr
even pressing the volume down while starting wont take it to the bootloader
please help.

There are many possibilities on this case : Check your ROM and ensure matching with yur CWR Partition lay out, i.e some rom with 150 MB partition lay out, need 158 MB partition lay out
For your phone can not go into bootloader, its clueless for me. Wether the hardware failure or bootloader corrupts.
Please also check hold vol Up and Down + Power Button to reach DEFAULT FACTORY RESET MODE, also check the red button inside the phone : open battery cover there is reset small red button. Just push (with pen/pencil) and what happening

Hi,
What else did you do prior to it failing.
More information,please.
Which rom? Which kind of install (nand, sd, megldr)? We need more info to help.
i did it using magldr i changed my sd card to fat32 repartioned it put the zip file on my card i downloaded a radio i mean i did everything the video and the artical said to do
you downloaded a radio? do you mean ROM? to flash a radio its done in a completely different way. to flash a ROM via magldr try this. in magldr scroll down and select option 8, wipe data/cache then go into advanced and wipe delvic. press back and select install ROM from sd (i would suggest to redownload the ROM because sometimes you can get a bad download, this is not likely but possible) then after it goes through the steps select reboot system. done.
if this dont work i would make sure you partitioned your phone and sd card correctly. that should solve any problems if the above didn't.
more info
Need more specific info, could be any of a number of things that cause it to fail.
hi
i installed many rom on hd2 via clk cwm .zip from sd card many rom stuck on start up but some starts but after restarting or powering off the the same problem with all roms plz help to boost ur thanks meter
Make sure you perform "wipe data factory reset" in cwm, to ensure the files on the ext and android folder on fat32 are cleared before flashing the rom.
If possible try a different SD card and sim, they can both cause issues occasionally.
Any stability issues on winmo?
Just give us more info about that ..
Are you sure you are using correct system partition size?
Any SD-ext? Sense (big) roms?
Did you try complete reflash? (-> winmo -> hspl -> radio -> clk+cwm -> android)
You (We) can check your logcat, there should be answer for this issue.
i dont know about the system partition i think this is the problem some roms need

thats a fine fix, however if you flash a smaller rom to that, you will waste the extra space. so flash a 250 meg rom to a 400 meg partition, you will lose 150 meg, it wont be used for apps or data, the system will just ignore it.
Every time u flash do TASK29,RADIO,MAGLDR,CWR ,FORMAT SD,PARTITION SD then put rom on it then flash it. Everytime i do not follow that procedure i stuck on boot
Always Task 29.

Hello guys,
I am experiencing the same problem with my HD2.
I have Tasked29, flashe MGLDR, CWR, formatted and partitioned SD, then placed ROM file and flashed. I reboot and the phone gets stuck on the HTC screen. The flashing of the ROM takes very little time. Before I had this problem, flashing a ROM would take longer than what it does now. It completes in about 10 seconds or less!
I can't figure out what's wrong. I had to re-install an old ENRGY Windows ROM; better than nothing! This ROM is working fine, even without the SD card.
I had been flashing CWR 4.0. I will flash 3.0.2.5 and see what happens.
Any one has any ideas please?

Follow this tutorial by kylew1212 to install cLK 1.5 . (don't forget to thank him)
After it installs, boot while holding the back button > Settings > Repartition NAND > *After you finish selecting your sizes* choose "COMMIT" .
Phone will reboot, then go to "Recovery" and flash your rom from there.
Hey, i'm new. Just made this account to get help with my nook. Anyway i'll just tell you all what happened because i don't know much about it.
There's two problems i have with it. 1 - Can't sync my google account and 2 - Can't get past the boot animation, keeps re-booting
BTW just got the nook color second hand yesterday, he said it had Android 2.2? on it, not too sure. He also said he did a factory reset on it, hence me trying to link my google account etc. As of right now, i'm not sure if it is rooted or has a ROM? or anything, i just want it going again.
Problem 1 - It was going fine and I was setting it up with the android start up thingy on the screen, but no matter what I tried I couldn't sync my google account with it to get on the android store. I could go on the internet and gmail etc fine, just nothing that needed a google account synced. I tried the usual fix of signing into YouTube using the gmail account but this still didn't link the device to my google account.
Problem 2 - Just last night when I was reading a book on it, it shut off randomly, I thought thats odd because it was like half battery, so I plugged it in via usb. Now whenever I plug it in to usb. It reboots and reboots and reboots. It shows the touch the future of reading logo, then a grey n, then the screen flashes yellow for a split second. It goes to a screen saying it is installing a new software update, but would cut out part way through and re-start the reboot loop. When i unplug it from the power it shuts off and wont turn on. I tried a factory reset and this started, but when it finished 'clearing data' it cut out and restarted the boot loop. As i'm typing it's next to me continuously re-booting.
Please help!! I'm a noob and need guidance haha.
But seriously thanks to anyone who helps

Make yourself a bootable CWM card as in my item A10. Then you can flash whatever you want. A new stock 1.4.3 as I said in A12 or partition repairs as I said in my partition repair thread. Or CM roms. Or the romrestore repair zip. Lots of possibilities.

So I make the CWM card. If i flash the stock 1.4.3 is that how it comes originally? Then can i root it from there, then CM7 etc? And is that all compatible with the 1.1 version? sorry for all the questions. and thanks so much! Any ideas on syncing a google account once i get it going?
Cheers
If you want to run stock, flash the 1.4.3 zip that I linked to. It is B&N's lastest version of stock (newer than 1.1) that I modified so it can be flashed with CWM. Then go to Manual Nooter 5.02.19. That will root you and allow you to install other apps.
Or if you want CM, just flash the version you want followed by the appropriate gapps zip. You do not need to update stock first, just flash away.
It is a good idea when switching types of roms to wipe first. You can flash my format 5,6,7 zip to wipe if you want.
Edit: After rereading your first post, you must get out of your bootloop before you can run anything. Just flashing a new rom may not fix it. If it does, great, but you may need to flash some repair zips first. And if you wipe, that may fix your Google login issues.

Sorry for my noobness but what does flash and wipe mean? Never done this before. I just got an sd card reader thing so i can write things on it with win32 disk imager. So to get out of the boot loop i have to flash? a repair zip? I had a look on the help post of yours, would 'NookColor-emmc-stockrecovery-CWM5504asAlt.zip' work? and do i write the whole zip file on the sd card without extracting anything? then what would i do? just turn it on? sorry once again you're a huge help
The first thing you do is unzip the file cwm-5.5.0.4-bootable_SD.zip. That will give a file about 200MB in size with a .img file name. Use win32diskimager to burn that .img file to your SD. Then that card can be used to copy (flash) things to your internal memory to either fix it or put new roms on it. If you put that card in the nook and boot up from a powered off state, the CWM program should start. You can use that to put new things on your internal memory.
Wipe means to format or erase things. Sometimes it is important to wipe what is already there before you try to put new things on.
Given your description of the problem, I would burn the CWM to SD, copy the zip named romrestore-CWMflashable.zip to the SD with your PC, put the SD in the nook, boot and the CWM menu should come up. Select "install zip from SD" and hit the n button. Then select "choose zip from SD" and hit n. Then scroll to the file you copied and hit n. Confirm the choice and CWM will begin it's thing. Watch for error messages. If it completes successfully, power off and remove the SD and see if it will boot. If it does boot successfully, you just repaired it. If it did not repair it, go to my partition repair thread and try some of those repair zips using the same technique.
If you were successful with the repairs, you can use the CWM SD to flash new roms to internal memory (stock or CM). Don't forget to wipe first if you do. An easy, surefire way to wipe is to flash my format 5-6-7 zip on my tips thread.
FIXED! Thanks so much. Gonna root now and then install cm7 or something haha, thanks again for your patience!
