[QNS] How to REPLACE a kernel ???

If i m using CWM to install a rom

Hi,
The way I did it was: download the ROM and kernel zips:>Then put them both on the sd card root :>go into cwm:>ad recovery:>wipe data ,dalvik and partitions:>install ROM:>install kernel:> reboot.
You should bear in mind that not all kernels will work with all ROMS.
My sig shows what worked for me

thx was trying Ultimate Droid rom but the default dont support ext4..

Your Ultimate Droid [op] shows 3 kernels which have been tested.
Why don't you try one using method I suggested

never
I tried to do so many times and never got it right

agree here..
try all... none of them let me using ext4

This is also for ebotross. Are you both using the MAGLDR or the cLK version of the ROM? You have to use a kernel that is compatible with MAGLDR if you are using MAGLDR and a kernel that is compatible with cLK if you are using cLK. Cedesmith has a patch posted in the cLK thread to apply to a kernel to make it cLK compatible.

using MAGLDR

That is strange then the kernels posted in the thread for the Ultimate Droid should work as they should be for MAGLDR, unless the Rom chef posted those kernels for the cLK users. Have you posted in the thread about your issue?

posted.. no reply
i tried number of time..
i alway see i got 5mb even less under storage... that mean i not using ext4 as internal

u see... the rom requet to use CWM v1.3 150MB but i use 400M
if i got 1gb ext.. after install this rom i cannot be left only 2-5mb

When you first flashed the ROM where you coming from a different ROM? If so did you do a complete restore or a partial restore using advanced restore? If you used just the regular restore then you do not have Ultimate Droid but you have your old ROM as the System restores your ROM and the Boot restores your kernel. Not all kernels are compatible with all ROMs as the ROMs for the HD2 are all custom ROMs. Also in native Android devices kernels are pretty much device specific so you can not use a kernel from one device on another device without modifying it.

Damn I think I know what you did but I can not remember where I read it at. It was something about if you do something with a certain file or something you actually double it which would turn your 400M into 800M and that would leave you only 2mb. I will have to try to find it again.

i format every thing and start from 0
format sd card using SDFormatter V2.0
create ext3 or ext4... tried both
install rom...
i give up so i now reinstall to CWM v1.3 150M but i only have 200M???? but i tot if we use EXT3 or 4 we should had more than that????

Hi,
I think your 200M is internal memory which is found in
settings>sd & storage>internal phone storage.
The space you have on your SD card is different and probably much larger.
You say the ROM requested 150M ,you should follow this accurately.This will give you more internal memory.
The EXT partition is space on your SD card which will still be 1gb.
They are two different things.

[Q] How to calculate CWR ?

First Im sorry my bad English !
I only have a Tmous HD2 but I dont know how to calculate the CWM for Leo512 (EX: system folder is 350mb) with my builds ?!
Some one help me about values of flash.cfg please ?
Thank you very much !!!

Whatever rom you want to use will typically tell you withon the first couple of posts in the rom thread. It really depends what rom you use what recovery size is needed. Bigger roms like ones with htc sense will need a bigger system partition.
If you use a larger system partition with a smaller rom, I think it'll still work, but will take space away from your data partition, which is particularly a big deal if you have a EU HD2, as they dont have as much nand memory as the TMOUS HD2.

If you can not find the size partition you need stated in the first few post by the ROM chef in the ROM thread. This is what I do, I click on the download and get it to start downloading or either let it finish downloading so I can see what sise the file is and then add at least another 25MB to 30 MB to that and tyhen go with the closest Recovery partition size to that or just go in and make the Recovery partition size what I need. But now that I I am using cLK and not MAGLDR I have ROM manager and don't have to worry about the partition size anymore.

[Q] help me guys (restarting loop)

hey guys i have a HTC HD2 i already added the new radio

Did you qlso install clockworkmod with the correct partition size? If your partition is to small for the rom image boot loops are caused.

Assuming you have the right partition size go to clockwork cleardata/factoryreset then clear cache the go to advanced and clear dalvic rhen reboot

in the hopes of being helped just teeny bit quicker

you have partitioned your sd,not nand. i think your rom needs 5-150-5 nand partition. unrar attached file.connect phone to pc.in mgldr go to usb flasher- see usb flasher.....usb-right click on daf-run as administrator-after it finishes flash your rom using mgldr-ad recovery-install zip from sd-choose zip from sd-choose your rom.zip.after it finishes reboot.
(save this recovery folder in pc.when you need a different size of nand partition open flash.cfg with notepad and arrange it according to your needs.)

also i checked the thread for the build an didnt see any info regarding this
an do i have to do this everytime i change a build
i need all the info i can get
ALSO, it fails saying something in red like

it s normal that nand boot fails, because you didnt flash your rom.zip from sd yet. nand partitioning arranges your phone's internal memory according to the need s of roms. if you use a rom with same nand partition size (e.g. miui roms or cm7 roms but not sense roms) you will not apply partition again, just wipe data/factory reset in ad recovery menu and flash the rom.

How about a fresh install?
That guy had bootloops, maybe the same error? anyway, Follow this post by me ,, it is a full & complete step by step on how to install the ROM you wanted (HyperGBX).
Most importantly, Swap Step 8 with your MAGLDR ROM from pongster's thread (HyperGBX)

NAND Partition 250MB - SD-EXT4 2GB what do these mean, an do i need em?

Where did you find these information? where did you find NAND partition 250 .... etc ?
Maybe you have bad blocks (which I hope not, because data cannot be written on them, resulting in some missing system files, thus giving you bootloops).

[Q] Stuck on bootscreen new nand rom

Today I was updating my android rom (one of the first nands) and I've updated magldr and installed CWM.
Then I installed a new rom with CWM and after reboot he keeps showing the bootscreen of the rom, I've tried another rom and it's the same...
Can anybody help me?

The most common reason for being stuck at bootscreen is improper partition size. You sure you got that right?

I've taken the largest partition size (400mb)...

you don't take the largest, but rather the most suitable. (or the one stated in the rom's thread) you should also take into consideration whether the rom NEEDS sd-ext or not.
What rom do you want to use/upgrade?
Have you met the requirements? (sd-ext/system partition/cache/radio)

I've a EU 512mb HTC HD2. I don't know my rom anymore that I used but I think its a darkforce froyo rom...
I've parted my sd with cwm: 1024ext, 64mb swap and used the 400mb CWM
Now I want to install the Runnymede 3.5 or the Desire HD 3.06.405.1 - Sense 3.0 - Android 2.3.5 [v1.4][RAFPIGNA 1.9GB], i don't know which one is better...

link to those roms please?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264828

okay for the first one (runnymede) you need 6/200/8. that means 200mb system partition, 6 boot partition and 8 cache partition. AND A 1GB SD-EXT
And for the second one you need 5/155/5. which means 155mb system partition and 5 megs for both cache and boot. AND YOU NEED 1GB SD-EXT.
Neither of these ROMs will run under a 400mb system partition ~!
And remember, always wash your hands and wipe your phone/sd before attempting another rom

If you're using the old method, then look for a file called config.cfg, edit that using any file editor.
But if you're using the NAND Toolkit, you can edit them by selecting the desired partition from the panels on the left or the right, depending on your bootloader, and the cache is just right below those panels.

i don't get it. i go to 8. AD RECOVERY and partition SD to at least 200mb and least 2mb and still just loads and loads and loads on the colorful boot screen.

No, you don't partition your SD, you flash a new CWM partition layout. Download CWM, change the flash.cfg to whatever size is necessary then enter USB flasher mode on the phone and flash from the PC. On your SD card a 1gb EXT partiton is recommended which is probably what you had before changing it.
