[Q] need a little bit of help with clockwork recovery :)

Ok, I've been able to keep up with all the flashing of android on hd2 fairly easy since the beginning almost a year ago. This is the only time I've ever really had a hard time figuring it this thing out.
I have flashed nand miui rom with 250mb partition on my eu hd2 through clockwork recovery. I'm trying to try other builds so I do the same method previously by flashing the zip file on my sd card through clockwork but it always get stuck at "unpacking sdext" files.
Is it because each build require different size partitions? Is it something else? Am I missing a step?
This clockwork stuff is pretty confusing...help is appreciated and thank you all in advanced. Much love.

Yes, different builds do require different partition sizes. A GingerBread build can get by on a 150mb (and possibly less) partition, whereas a Desire HD based build will require a 400mb partition.

so how do i go about doing this? because ive tried to partition my card, but it just erases everything clean even with a backup

The latest cwm partitions are flashed to your NAND and has nothing to do with partitions on your sd card. The sd card partitions are needed to run certain roms on the EU512 device.
To flash a cwm 1.3 partition, you need magldr 1.13, download the partition size you need, boot to usb flasher in magldr and run the daf.exe file from the download. It will wipe data on your phone NAND memory and should have no impact on data on the sd card.

I already have cwm 1.3 and magldr 1.13. I already flashed miui rom. That means I have to use a computer to flash other Roms as well? I thought the point of cwm is so u can flash and switch between roms without a comp?
or does this mean flash through the computer once and then u can switch between roms? sorry if I'm really dumb

You can (as long as you have the same partition size as is needed). I haven't tried it, but I guess you could install the 400mb partition and that should cover all rom types. The only problem is that you then create a larger partition on NAND than may be needed for some roms thereby reducing the internal memory available.

ahhhhhh. I think I will try that and report back to see how it goes. thanks so much for your help. I will try to do the same for other people once I figure this out

I'd be interested to know the answer. Good luck....

welps. I have tried with no luck. I actually ruined my 8gb SD card trying it and had to get a new one.

Ive been able to flash the 400mb partition and have been able to flash any rom but like it has already been stated it affects the amount of internal memory available, not too bad for me as i have a tmous

Ok, send me your 8Go SD if you think it's dead
NAND and SD are two different things. For your SD, just delete/recreate the partition and it will be new again.
Explanation I post somewhere else (hope it wll help you to understand):
===
I will try to explain.
I assume you have a non-TMOUS device. So your internal storage (let call it NAND) is 512Mo. This is all what your have.
The CWM xxxMo will be what your allocate for your build.
If you allocate 150 (by flashing CWM 150MB) you will have 512-150=362Mo free.
If you use CWM 400... you will have 112Mo free space.
The build you want to use take a little bit more than 100Mo. So why using CWM400 to fill it with only 100Mo???
You have to use the smallest CWM to put your build in it. This will give you the more storage space after installing the build.
Don't think the more "CWM" you will use the more space you will have. It's exacly the opposite.
Hope you understand. Please take into account that the figures I give are appoximation. Don't complain if instead of 362Mo you have only 300... it's more than enough anyway for most of us.
===
So if your first NAND needed a small partition only, you may have to flash again CWM with another partition setting (for ex a 400Mo to fit a desire HD NAND).
Go on the CWM thread to find the version you need (150, 250 and 400 are available). Some thread are also available to modify the config file to make the partition size you want.
By using the 400Mo most build will be flashable... but you will have very little free space and will have to use your SD card (APP2SD or other soft).
I prefer to put everything in NAND for two reasons:
1/ I can remove my SD when I want
2/ I think it's better for battery consumption to not use the SD (but this I don't know, it's just what I think).

i was able to recover the sd card (thanks). anddddd i was able to kind of, sort of, dual boot, two different builds except that one of them has force close issues constantly.

well its not dual booting. i just kind of re-install each build from clockwork.

[Q] (Little black-Out) HD2 clean NAND Android install

Hi
After a lot of flashing, experimenting, etc. I want to set up a clean Android NAND.
Currently running MAGLDR 1.13, CWR 4.0.0.0 with HyperDroid CM7 2.1.0
I'm having a little black-out / not sure about the correct steps. So this what I wanted to do:
1. Task29
2. Format SD-Card + Delete EXT3 Partition
2. Install MAGLDR 1.13
3. Install CWR 3.2.0.0 - I read that the 4.0.0.0 versions are buggy
4. Create 1GB EXT3 Partition on SD with CWR
5. Flash ROM
Did I forgot something?
Q1: The NAND-Partition Layout is done with CWR in "flash.cfg" right?
Q2: Task29 - never done that before, anything special?
Q2: I want a Sense 3.0 ROM, any recommendations?
Anyone experience with AngelDeath's?
kkthxbye

You domt have to format your sd card, you can check my thread for more info about clean installing

Q1: yep
Q2: nope
Q3: All tested Sense 3 are the same: looks cool but graphic glitches and other bugs... :x xD i would recommend a sense 2 rom but if you want sense 3 just try out
flashing dosent take a long time

Questions to sense roms

Hey,
So I wanted to give sense a chance, since I really like sense 3.5.
But I'm having problems finding a good rom, I tried it with energy but its slow and runs not smooth at all, even tho other people dont seem to have problems with it.
And Im also confused about all that SD-Partitioning, tried doing it like in the Guides but from all the partitioning my SD Card is only 900MB out of 2GB now and I cant seem to delete all the other partitions.
Regards

try RCMix3D Runny v5.0, i heard some good things about it.
as for sd card partitioning:
flash 4ext recovery (in attachment) with CWM, your phone should reboot into 4ext recovery.
in 4ext go to: Advanced -> Partition SD Card -> Remove all partitions and start from scratch.
Now it will prompt you for the desired sizes for all your partitions, but don't get confused if it asks twice for the ext size, the 1st time is for the 1st ext partition the 2nd for the 2nd partition.
Generally you wouldn't want/need a 2nd ext partition so choose 0 mb for that one.
ext-4 is the desired type for the ext partition.
hope i have been of help..

Thanks man!
Will try that out tomorrow.
But about that rom you posted, I read in the Rom specific Thread that it runs relatively slow, anyhow I'll try it.

So I installed it now, did a 1024M sd-ext partition and flashed 210M CWM with 5M cache using the HD2 Toolkit.
But after the clean install I only get 993 quadrant score and it is pretty laggy/slow
Is this normal with sense roms? oO

I don't find the rom to be slow at all.
I have yet to try v5. I'm still on 4.xx.
For me the rom is fast and I heard with Kernel v6 or Marc's kernel the rom goes great.

Was my post helpful?

If you want to try sense I would look at haldrics sense roms he has done a great job with both 2.1 and 3.5 also they are both smooth and fast.

That .zip didn't work out for some people. I would recommend using minitool partition wizard. It's free and works great (Windows)
If you are using linux, try gparted.

MccM MixTheme Runny+Ryhme V10
Hi, I'm running MccM MixTheme Runny+Ryhme V10 on SD card, I've got 2171 in Quadrant Standard. i have 16GB card with 8GB free.
The only problem with this is Wifi hotspot is not working, so I use "Barnacle"
Have any one try that? any better ROM than this?

In my opinion no. I'm on the TBD v3.1 Sensation XL themed ROM, it comes with Sense 3.5 and works really fine!

Do you have an opportunity to try it with another SD-Card? Maybe it's broken.

if you follow the link, you see the rom, but it's crab, only 1319 in quadrant???
why don't you try the one i have "MccM MixTheme Runny+Ryhme V10"
you can get around 2100 in the quadrant, but as i said the only problem is WIFI HOTSPOT is not working you have to use "barnacle" instead.
have any one try it? and let me know is there a fix for "wifi-hot spot"?

Sense to me, just feels too slow & clunky but the sense 2.1 feel faster to me

Can you share 2.1 ROM?

Running SD version of ICS

Hi All,
I'm using NAND Hyperdroid CM7 on my HD2, notice that there is a port of ICS and I would like to give it a try. Knowing that it is still not very stable, I don't think I will keep it for daily use, but just would like to 'taste' it first.
Since it requires 200MB system partition while I'm using 150M only, and I don't want to flash ICS and then back to CM7. I would like to know, if I run SD version of ICS, will it corrupt my NAND CM7 and those installed stuffs on SDcard and SD-ext?
I know I can make a system backup using MAGLDR, and using a blank new SD card, should it be a better idea??
Thanks.

hello, i think if u use a SD build u could not modify ur Nand build. I don't try an ICS sd build but i use a miui sd build and no pb.
it's only on the sd.

I have this CM7 build in NAND:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395049
and this ICS on SD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437463
I use only one SD card (16 GB class 10) and everything works fine. I made a backup with Titanium Backup and after instaling ICS I restore all my apps and everything works like in CM7 build.
HD2 EU Radio 2.15.50.14

Thanks........I've tried the same ICS but after boot from SD in MAGLDR, it soon reboots and return to CM7, what is missing?

After reboot your phone goes to NAND (CM7) normally. To boot ICS you have to go MAGLDR and choose SD boot. Before that you have to configure MAGLDR to boot from ICS folder just first time.
If you do that correct and if you unzip initrd.gz before replacing I have no idea what else is missing.

[Q] 4ext won't recognize my NAND, can't install NAND ROM

Hi,
decided to start using my HD2 again, this time with a NAND ROM instead of NativeSD.
Got Magldr 1.13, using recovery_4EXT2.2.7_leo_sd.
I can boot into 4ext and try to install a new NAND ROM,(ChauTien_Cyanogen_4.4.2_V2.0, Slimroms JellyBean 4.3.1 Build2.1 Final).
Aroma installer complains that my NAND is -1 MB :/
How do I go about fixing that?
Thanks

just partition your nand correctly for your rom and flash.
Says -1mb if no android there.

Never done that before. 4ext print partition info only lists the sd card :|
I tried CWM SD but it just reboots.
I've downloaded DFT Android ROM for HTC LEO, and there is a cfg file with the partition layout, trying to figure out the sizes for the ROMs I'd like to try.
I've been searching a bit and found mention of flashing TMOUS radio to get more memory on the EU variant, do you remember what exact radio should I flash?

The radio in your sig is fine
For eu hd2 try dataonext, with an ext4 partition on your sd card, and use a large system partition (up to 400mb)

Ah, the thing is I'd rather not waste sdcards on the hd2 (no small cards left .
DFT didn't work, I guess it's a driver problem, and google_android drivers won't install on win7 x64.
