for installing a new nand rom after having tried another need to reinstall magdlr and cw???
if they have the same cwr partition then you can go in mgldr menu AD recovery-wipe data/factory reset then AD Recovery-advanced-wipe dalvik then you can flash the new rom. but if they have different CWR partitions then you must flash the new CWR partition using usb fasher in mgldr menu,then you can flash the new rom. install of new mgldr is not necessary

I'm trying to figure out how I can wipe my system. With windows I was able to Task 29 and with my android phone I was able to wipe the phone through recovery. I thought that every time I flash a new nand rom it automatically wipes the phone. I'm not certain, I wanted to know if I was correct in my assumption or is there an actual wipe process. Thank you in advance for any help you can lend.
Everytime you flash a new rom it formats and partitions your nand so no need to do any manual format afaik.

[07 JAN][RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for HD2 - v1.1 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
Currently using HTC HD 2 Andriod rom running on nand,
Assuming Ive installed andriod with clockwork recovery and etc, and I would like change my ROM to other versions, how can I do it?
Do I need to delete the current Andriod Rom? and how do i do it? thanks!
Go to Clockwork Recovery.
If your coming from another rom (Miui -> CM7, Sense -> Stock, or any of that matter), wipe cache recommended 3 times, advanced -> Dalvik Cache. When your coming from another rom, it's highly recommended to wipe data too.
If your coming from the same rom (CM7 -> CM7) and want to KEEP your data, then simply wiping cache and Dalvik cache is enough.
To flash a new rom, choose "apply zip from sd card" -> "choose zip from sd card" and simply select the .zip file.
You don't need to delete or anything, Clockwork should overwrite it and your cache should be cleared.
I always do a Nandroid backup using backup and restore in CWM and then do a full wipe of all the partitions data, system, boot, cache, and sd-ext. Then I go to advanced in CWM and woe my Delvik cache, then flash my ROM using install zip from sdcard. When my ROM is done I go to backup and restore and select advanced restore and restore my data and my cache from my Nandroid backup then boot my HD2. I never once have had a issue with any new ROM or my information and settings not being there. You do not want to restore boot or system cause boot is the kernel of your ROM and system is the ROM itself. So if you restored them you still havecthe same ROM.
check ROM thread / instructions, there are a lot of information.
sometimes you need to follow exactly as it says.

I recommend running a Task 29cand then reflashing MAGLDR and then flash CWM using USB Flasher in MAGLDR then flash your ROM using CWM. Make sure to reformat your SD card before booting up your Android. Easiest way of doing this is to stick your SD card in a adaptor and then into a digital camera then format it with the camera as this will take the funky format that WP7 does to it off. Then use a USB card reader to format it using Fat 32.
just flash android using instructions from your ROM thread.
cheers

Thanks man that was super helpful
I wanted to make a nand backup but to my surprise I can't start CWM... I boot into MAGDLR then select option 8 and it says:
Android load raw
some numers
load done!
123456
GO GO GO!
Smallbandversion
15.42.50.11u_2.15.50.14
and then it hangs... is it save to reinstall CWM? or will i lose all my data?
realy.need this i think its simple !
Go to the "clockwork 5.0.2.6 yes/no" thread, get the SD version and nand version of cwm, unpack the SD version to SD root, and copy the nand version.zip to SD, start magldr, 'boot ad sd, will start cwm from your SD card, use it to flash the nand version.zip

Thanks! But will it preserve my rom and data? Or will I lose everything?
It'll save it all. Its just flashing the recovery.img to the recovery partition. The only possible fly in the ointment would be if your recovery partition is too small for the latest recovery.(unlikely, but possible) but even then you can use the SD cwm to take a backup, reflash the partition layout with recovery, then reflash your rom and selectively restore sd-ext and data.
Thanks for the report so far, will try to reflash the recovery tomorrow !
Edit:
that did it (lol forgot this)

how to do that, im new to this, just bought the phone today,
read in a guide that i have just to install zip from sd card via CWM.
Installations:
Please use at least 165MB system partition and at least 2MB cache partition.
Please refer to ksubedi's HD2 NAND Toolkit and/or mskip's guide.
Cache partition (/dev/block/mtdblock4) is only used by CWM.
Cache partition size is not important because the data partition (/dev/block/mtdblock5) is used as the cache space when running Android.
If your HD2 has bad NAND blocks, you may need larger partitions.
Wipe
Wipe Data/Factory Reset while doing a fresh install. (Optional: also delete /sdcard/Android folder or format your SD card if you have any strange issue.)
Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache while upgrading from an old version and wanting to retain data.
Flash this ROM.
MAGLDR: Flash NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.5.zip, then reboot.
cLK : Flash NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.5.zip and the cLK kernel, then reboot.

Me Install But Not Show SD Card.
Hi all,
I previously had a NAND install of android working fine on my device, i did test a SD install in parallel for the few last weeks and i'd like to stay with it.
I setup MAGLDR to boot to my SD Android but i would like to clean the NAND install, do you know how i could do this?
The NAND Rom i'd like to remove: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945425
The SD ROM i'd like to keep: http://nexushd2android.tytung.com/nexushd2-gingerbread/v3-3/download
thanks in advance for your answers,
Nuke everything with task29, install magldr, install the rom you want. You should get the same results using CWM and wiping everything from the menu.

Thank you for your answer.
I just have one last question about the impact of the wipes from CWM.
I don't understand which rom will be impacted my the "wipe data/factory reset" from CWM, the NAND rom? the SD? both?
Is there a solution only to wipe the NAND rom and not to touch my SD rom?
thank you again for your help,

I don't feel qualified to talk about this, but here's my understanding. CWM will only mess with your phone storage and remove everything there. The SD rom will stay on your SD card (unless you formated or partitioned that too), so as long as you have magldr set to boot from SD it'll boot the rom you want with nand being gone.
All I know is that if I were in your position, I'd wipe everything, both the card and phone, and just put the rom back again on SD. You can't miss with that. Make sure you backup the stuff you want from your card before you format it, should you decide to do so.

The wipe data/factory reset option will wipe the ROM on your NAND and your SD EXT partition but shouldn't affect your SD ROM. If you're worried then just backup your data.img from your SD ROM to your PC before wiping.
