Hy guys, I need a little help, I instal NTD MIUI Rom and used for a month, but I desided to come back to Sense Roms,But unfortunaly I cant instal any sense rom.If someone had this plroblem and know how to fix it please help me.... Thanks in advance
You need to flash a bigger CWM partition. You may have flashed a 150mb one to use MIUI, but if you're flashing via CWM try a 350mb partition first, then try to flash you Sense ROM.

You obviously haven't read the instructions properly.
Every rom explains what partition to use or supplies a file to do it for you.

Hi All,
I've been looking for an answer and have not found one yet.
I have an existing NAND build (MDJ cyanogen 7) of android that I flashed via magldr 1.11. I know I can update magldr to 1.13 safely without messing deleting the the nand rom i have already. But if I want to install Clockworkmod 1.3 onto the nand will I lose my existing rom need to reflash my rom again or does magldr know to flash clockworkmod onto another area of nand that wont overwrite my existing rom?
also with clockworkmod it says:
Download recovery with partition size for the type of rom you plan on using, see guide below if unsure.
it says to use the 150MB partition just wanted to see if anyone else using mdj's cyanogen 7 is using the same thing?
Your help is greatly appreciated

Yes you will lose your current rom, so do a cwm backup first. After flashing the partition for cwm, you will get a kernel error on first boot, so boot into AD Recovery and restore the boot, system and data backups and all is back to normal. As for the partition size, use the same size as you did for the sd version. The guide suggests a 400mb partition for an unsquashed desire hd build, but I used the 250mb partition on my current rom and all is perfect.
PS! Please don't post questions in the ROM Dev section, there's a reason why there is a Q&A section.

Its so frustrating, why on earth would anybody post a question topic in here when we have dedicated Q&A forum??
It should be obvious to anybody that this is a "dev" forum for posting developments not for asking questions.
Since the rom was originally flashed via DAF, will CWM still allow me to do a backup?
Was hoping for a guide, it's so confusing.
No, from what I understand you don't have CWM installed yet, so you can't use it now. Use titanium backup (market), and then flash cwm so you can use it in the future.

It seems confusing at first but it is not really that difficult.

Correct, on first flash of cwm it will erase all data/roms etc on NAND. You will not be able to backup the rom if it was initially flashed via daf. As StephanV says, use Titanium Backup or MyBackup Root to back up your data/apps etc and you can restore them after.
Once you have cwm installed and have flashed a new rom and set it all up, then you can do a cwm backup.
So if i use cwm then I can only flash zip based roms from that point on? I cant use the daf ones anymore then.
You can still use daf, but each time you run a daf file it will remove the cwm recovery partition and you will need to reflash it to use cwm again.
I'm finding that if i flash cwm ontop of a daf rom the rom becomes unbootable. and the only way to get it to work again is use a cwm version of the rom.

i'm not sure about the rom you are using but i was able to back up a few different roms with cwm which i installed using daf. this is what i did:
1. create a folder on sdcard name "cwm" (you can name it whatever you want). i actually have a folder for each clockwork recovery version.
2. put the zImage and initrd.gz for cwm (version 1.0,1.1,or 1.2) in the folder you just created. (do not flash anything at this point)
3. boot into magldr and go to services, boot settings, ad sd dir and select the directory you just created
4. now in magldr menu boot ad sd, and you should hopefully boot into clockwork
5. go to backup and restore and backup your rom. if you try cwm 1.2 and it doesn't work try 1.0 to back it up, you can then update to 1.2 again and it will still restore just fine.
6. before restoring your rom, install cwm1.3 and choose a partition size bigger than the size of the system.img of the rom that you backed up. clockwork backs up your rom in your sdcard->clockworkmod->backup. it creates a folder with the timestamp.
7. now you can follow the steps from the clockworkmod thread to load cwm1.3 and restore from there.

dont bother 'installing' clockwork, just put the two files on your sd card, then go into your MDJcyanogen rom folder on the PC, open (in notepad) flash.cfg and it will look something like
boot ya|boot|ro filesize+1M boot.img
misc ya 1M
recovery ya|ro 3M
cache ya 3M
system ya filesize system.img
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
the partitions 'recovery' and 'misc' will allow cwm to work, they arent needed for this rom, they are only there for compatibility however if you plan on flashing to a different rom using sd card/cwm, (rather than simply using cwm to do backups of MDJcyanogen) you will want to edit the
system ya filesize system.img
and maybe set it to one of teh recommended cwm sizes, example
system ya 150M
this is because the original line
system ya filesize system.img
will set a system partition of the same size as the MDJcyanogen system.img, (about 130meg) but if your next rom has a bigger system.img, when you try load it from cwm it wont fit, so wont work. by setting it to 150 (or whatever you want) you are allowing for different size system.img in various roms.
Whenever you flash a nand rom, so long as you edit the flash.cfg and make sure those two partitions, misc and recovery (and maybe cache too, i do) are there, then cwm will work.
how do u get 1.13

Go to nand development and its in the thread called (quite cunningly) "magldr 1.13 released "
Apologies if I am at all asking a question that has been answered before (forum search did not help much), but I am trying to find out how to safely flash a different ROM onto my device.
I have installed HSPL3, Radio 2.15, MAGLDR 1.13, ClockworkMod Recovery and NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.7 using the NAND method.
I want to shop around and check a few different ROM's before donating to the one that suits my needs, but I need to know if it is simply a case of flashing a new ROM over the existing one using the same methods or is it slightly more complicated than that?
Thanks.
Ugh no need to flash over hspl, magldr, or radio. Just use cwm to flash it. However depending on the rom, you may need to flash a different cwm. Eg. Cyano is the 150mb partition, sense is the biggest partition.

Hi,
If I were you ,I would backup your existing ROM in CWM(go to backup and restore).
That way if your next ROM is no good or if there is any problem,you can easily restore the original.
Before you install a new ROM,READ the [OP] carefully ,paying special attention to the size of the new recovery partition.
Then you can flash the new recovery partition,wipe data,cache partition and dalvik(in advanced),
then install zip from sd card.
Do I need to clear anything for smaller ROMS/MODS?
I currently am running the latest GingerTh3ory Rom with its respective radio. Then in it's candystor3 app I downloaded the 'honeycomb battery' full mod pack so that it uses a honeycomb UI with the battery and small things like that.
When I change the battery and do system and individual MODS should I clear anything? I don't want to slow my phone down by keep flashing MODS over top of one another? My friend convinced me to root and so now I'm getting used to this.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks
I have come to find that most new Rom's usually will format everything needed when you are flashing over another Rom. Just to be cautious go into CWM and maually fomat Boot, system, cache, sd-ext(if applies) data, and then go to advanced and wipe Dalvik cache...
Hi.
I write from my brother account because i'm too lazy to create one
I have this problem with my HD2: after flashing most of the roms in the forum i receive, after boot animation, only a black screen.
I try to wait for hours but nothing change.
Can you help me pls? only old roms work well.
I use Magldr 1.13 and CWM 3.1.0.1 (but i try also with 4.0.0.0 and other versions)
Thank you in advance
Did you use the correct partition sizes for the different roms?
Sent from my HTC HD2
yes i check it everytime (usually is 150M/5M)
i also try a clean install from task29 but nothing
mmmh
now i flash a rom from another forum and it seems work.
the difference from before is that i not partitioning SD card but i only format it in FAT32.
can this may be the cause?
nothing solved. i try to flash the NDT Ginger 14.0 ROM but it give again black screen
please help
if you write your steps in detail we can see the missing part. try formatting sd using mgldr-ad recovery.
1 - download rom
2- check rom CWM partitioning
3 - wipe data, cache, dalvik
4 - flash rom
how do you make cwr partitioning? do you use daf or nand tool kit? do you make this in usb flasher mode in mgldr?

and yes i make it in USB flasher mode
I've had the same situation，you should flash the recovery more than 150 M，or you can try NDT miui rom, this is the web site ：http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010498
the other day i'd try to flash this rom but the result is the same.
maybe with more than 150M could work?
i try also with NDT ginger 14.0 but nothing

Hello every one. im using hyperdroid cm7 rom, i just flashed it two weeks ago with the MAGLDR 1.13 and the clock work mod v1.3_150MB but now im having a problem with clock work mod recovery and that is when i try to load the clock work mod recovery it says "invalid image" something like that and it dosent load the clock work mod recovery and goes back to the MAGLDR1.13 menu so how i should deal with it should i re-flash the clock work mod 1.3_150mb recovery? and if i do this will i have any problem with the rom or will lose any thing? please help me and thanks in advance to all.....
Wow 40 views not a single reply i think i asked a wrong question....
I would reinstall CWM. Be sure to install the CWM recommended by the Rom's chef as they can be different partition size. You should not loose your data by reflashing CWM. I believe the partition you are looking for 150M. Here is a link: http://www.multiupload.com/41E9UMRO45
Yea re flashing cwm will wipe all the nand partitions because they are all re created empty. If you have been using an ext partition you can save the contents of that, I.e your installed apps, , and if the rom you were on put the whole data part there you can maybe save your data too, tho I suspect you will have to bite the bullet and start from scratch.

I do not really understand your problem...
Why do you go into CWM if you already loaded the ROM and using it successfully?
What do you want to do??
To get to CWM, go to Magldr select option 5 I believe (Recovery) press GREEN (call) button and you'll get CWM menu.
Does that answer your question?
Recovery is option 8.
I assume the issue was created be cause you tried ROM Manager with MAGLDR, it will mess up your phone. (use ROM Manager only with cLK Bootloader)
thanks

It is not important....you can flash a new rom directly,just wipe data,cache and factory settings....before flashing a new rom..
But some roms required be on stock rom.So I think flashing stock before flash any custom rom is good...for your phone..:thumbup:
:thumbup: DON'T FORGET TO GIVE THANKS IF I HAVE A BIT SUCCESS TO HELPING YOU :thumbup:
Depends on the rom actuallly
Suppose the Rom is Something like the monochromatic windows rom >> then u need to switch back to stock
and other roms which contain only the theming files for the stock bases u can just flash them
but for better installation of the roms make sure u go to the CWM >mounts and storage>format /system/
and then follow the usual procedure of installing the rom
what this does is that it deletes the previous "System" directory so when u install a custom rom .
then the custom rom's system directory will be copied to the device making it like a clean installation
and as techno said dont forget to wipe data/factory reset and the cache partition
