Hi Everyone,
I am trying to recover my HD2 after it being corrupted or something but it wouldn't boot anything or recover or work with USB. Got it to play nice again after a few hundred reboots and reflashing HSPL.
I am trying to install a ROM with MAGLDR but cannot get it to play ball. I understand that lots of the ROM packs are intended to be loaded with clockwork mod recovery but when I try this, the packages don't have the required daf or .data files.
Any help?
Cheers

I don't think you understand how to use clockwork mod (well at least not how to flash things via clockwork mod). You should flash clockwork mod then copy the rom (which will come in a zipped folder) to the root of your SD card. You should then follow this guide in order to install the ROM.
The ROM should never be taken out of the zipped folder, and it isn't flashed via an .exe program (that's one of the best things about clockwork mod, everything can be done away from your PC if you want, you can just download the update straight to your phone and use a file explorer to move it from the download folder to the root of your SD card).
Thanks for the feedback. I understand that clockwork mod is great because you can just drop the file sin and boot but the issue is that the downloads that I've made don't work. I cleaned my sd card before putting Hyperdroid CM7 on it and it was the only thing on the card. I went into recovery in the boot menu and then
it comes up with the usual "123456 GOGOGO" and then just hangs on the screen. After looking around, i found mention of the .data folder being required to execute it but it isn't in any of the downloaded roms i have.

So it hangs whilst trying to enter clockwork mod (at the 'GO GO GO' screen)?
That's right. Then it just sits there until i take the battery out. I left it on charge for 5 hours yesterday and it didn't budge. When loading the ROMs it seems to all work fine and everything is up to date. It just won't boot into it.

This update.zip will flash clockwork recovery, overwriting the need/ability to use the stock recovery folder with command in it.
For advanced users only.
v.8 Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?dvleg4oatkfxm7w
The credit for this all goes to Bekit for the biggest step forward on the Gtablet, and obviously Koush for the custom recovery to begin with. Roebeet packaged this update.zip.
Instructions:
1) Unpack download to root of sdcard. (Internals /sdcard, NOT /sdcard2)
2) Start tablet while holding volume + and power. (Let go when you see text come up saying entering recovery)
3) You will see a short installation and it will reboot.
4) Check the install by powering off, the powering on with volume+ and power
5) You should be greeted by a menu with Clockworkmod at the top
i have been using clockwork on my gtablet for several days now. it backs up and restores just like i would expect it too.
well done as usual.. props for all involved.
Works great no problems at all !!!
wishlist:
1. add SDCARD2 to the mount and storage section.
2. ... wait that is it.!
Should I be able to take this file and rename to update.zip, put it in the root of "sdcard" internal space, put the recovery folder in root directory too and then boot up with power + volume up to install this?

Or just extract the zip file supplied in the first post onto the sd card. Everything will go into its place. Then boot from recovery using power and volume+.
So, if I place the cwm update.zip and recovery folder in the root of sdcard (internal), then when I boot into recovery, CWM will show up instead? Just want to know if it really is that simple. Also, if I want to flash a new ROM (Like the zpad one), do I simply place the update.zip from that rom anywhere other than the root of "sdcard", and flash using CWM?
One last question, if I delete the CWM update.zip, is it like CWM was never placed on my g tab?
Am I the only one having trouble getting cwrecovery on the root of sd card? cant get this to run. i am a visual learner and reading how to do all this is helping me very little. if anyone would be willing to do a video or reference me to a link so i can learn to do all this, i would appreciate greatly. this is very frustrating tab stock!
hey this might help you get it installed..
plug your gtablet into your computer, then on the gtablet, click the "enable usb storage connection" button
then on your pc, open windows explorer, and open removeable drive F, the letter may be different for you.. it should show 13gb free on it, and there should be an android folder and a dcim folder.. that's the root of the storage inside the tablet.. it's the same as sdcard.. unzip the clockworkblahblah.zip to the root/top level directory of that removeable drive. then turn the tablet off. and then hold down the volume + button while powering it back on, it should install the clockworkmod recovery manager.. that's about it
jw52637 don't feel bad... I'm a visual learner as well.
uncola,
I followed your instructions and I saw the update install on boot up. Now I'm lost. I expected to see and application named ClockworkMod Recovery or something like that... but I did not. How do I know it is installed and how do I use it to back up my stock ROM? Also, do I remove the "update.zip" from the root directory or just leave it there?
Sorry for the questions but I want to learn how to do this so I can stop bothering you guys.

ClockWorkMod Recovery is the recovery system...so you have to boot your tab into recovery (hold volume + and power the tab up). If installed, you'll get the ClockWorkMod Recovery instead of the stock recovery system. You can make backups, do restores, install .zips, etc... from there.....then "reboot" the system to boot back to your normal system.
Thanks tcrews. I moved the update.zip from the root directory to a saved directory then rebooted holding the volume + key and it booted into ClockWorkMod Recovery. I chose back up and everything seemed to backup fine.
So if/when I install another ROM and I do a restore to the ROM I just backed up I should be right back to where I was at that time. I have used Titanium Backup to back up all my applications and settings and know I would have to restore them also.
I'm just wanting to understand how I can get back to "stock" so that I can get the automatic updates from Viewsonic.
Well i just tried it all again, and all worked very well. Thank you very much
Ok, I'm totaly new to this so please bare with me, having some troubles with my G tablet NOT booting so I cant access it through Windows to install CW to fix my tablet. How can I get the Files on the tablet? I can get it to attempt recovery but no luck. PLEASE help. I'm pulling my hair out here.

There is a physical reset button inside the device, or you can try ADB.
I cant get the recovery image to find update.zip
I have clockwork recovery gtab-cwm-v08 installed and renamed to update.zip in the root of the internal sd but when i boot into recovery it goes to the android screen then shows a triangle with a exclamation point, then reboots normally!
I rooted with z4root 1.2.1
I have superuser permission so am rooted!
Unrooted then rooted again figuring this might help!
Tried a few different clockwork recoveries
have no idea what the problem is! if anyone has any clue it would be appreciated!

Had that happen to me. What I did was run the CWM again into the gtab. Next reboot I had CWM insgtalled and working.
Hope that helps
CWM 0.8 is the one that I used and is working for me. I have the gTab w/the "original" partition scheme, and installed it by the original gTab update process.
If you're using newer CWMs I've read posts in the CM6b4 thread that newer CWM version seem to be causing problems for some people.
Also if you have a "newer" "batch" gTab w/a different partition map scheme you might want to check what the latest info is on the IRC channel, #tegratab on freenode IIRC. Might be quickest to ask for help there anyways, as it sounds like this probably isn't your problem.
Hi guys,
Well when I flashed my ROM I used the NOOB thread and installed this version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821468
Now I realize I should have updated to this version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891657
I have the update.zip and the new Axura zip on my root directory but when I reboot in recovery and click "re-install packages" it does something ...maybe re-roots?...and just goes to the normal Axura boot screen and starts up current installed version. I do have ROM manager and Titanium installed.
Obviously I'm missing something silly. Also, is there any real reason to update a month old ROM or am I ok leaving them on there for a long time?
Thank you...you guys rock!
Get into the green recovery screen. If you first load up recovery and it's blue then hit reinstall packages. You may have to do this twice for it to go to the green clockwork recovery.
Next navigate to install .zip from SD. Navigate to the new Axura file and select it. Navigate down to "yes" and wait for it to complete.
One pre-caution:
If you named the Axura ROM as update.zip and try to go into CWR it might throw you back to the normal recovery (blue text), if you hit re-install packages it will try to do it via update.zip (your Axura), and you will end-up with the square one.
Go to your phone, rename the Axura download from update.zip to something different, i.e. axura_rom_latest.zip, copy recovery-update.zip from /sdcard/clockworkmod directory to /sdcard as update.zip, and go back into recovery and re-install packages, it will bring you to CWR with green text.

Nice catch and clarification.
Lordjish - Let us know how it goes.
I'm confused I have the new Axura ROM zip file on my phone but it's not named update.zip - the rooting zip is named that. The Axura ROM is named whatever the developer named it still.
1. Do I Need to change the name of the ROM then?
2, Should I remove the rooting "update.zip" I downloaded from the NOOB thread?
If so, should I just have the new ROM in there by itself?
Also my Root seems to be corrupted as Titanium cannot gain root rights anymore and Superuser Permissions won't run. This is surely my fault from my failed attempt and installing the new update.
I've re-named the clorkworkmod recovery zip to update.zip as you said, as well as renamed the new Axura ROM zip to "axura-update.zip" . I also moved the clockworkmod zip to the root directory on SD.
I haven't tried anything yet as I want to make sure this is what I'm suppose to do with a possibly broken "root" (superuser permissions aren't working for Titanium or ROM manager)
Also, strangely enough my computer wouldn't let me move filesthrough USB Mass storage mode that are already on the phone, but I could do it by using the phone itself to move the files.
Oh, and I deleted the NOOB thread rooting zip before moving the clockworkmod one and re-naming it the same.
Thanks again guys!
Reboot into stock recovery, reinstall packages, cwr should be available then (green txt). Install zip from sd, choose axura zip and you should be fine.
Sent from my Nero powered Vibrant
On the 16g internal memory you should now have two files - Update.zip and Axura.zip right?
If so boot into recovery and hit reinstall packages until you get to the green recovery. This sometimes takes two times.
Then navigate to install zip from SD and find Axura and let it do it's thing.
Thank you all for your help!
Updated new the newest Axura ROM and everything went without any problems.
This is addicting...

Since im not allowed to post this anywhere else here it is. I cant get rom manager to boot directly to the red recovery. Therefore I can no longer download roms and stuff thru rom manager . I see posts about deleting and renaming the update file in the clockwork folder on the sd card . Can anyone clarify this more ?

You can still download through rom manager, but you have to manually boot into recovery and browse for the zip. They are on the sdcard in clockworkmod/download.
In the cloclworkmod folder, delete "recovery-update.zip", copy your red CWM update.zip into this folder and rename it to "recovery-update.zip"
Is this in the root of the clockwork folder ? because i see a file called recovery in there . I put it in there and it didnt work

1) Get a working clockwork mod .ZIP file.
2) Put that file in two places:
/sdcard/update.zip
/sdcard/clockwork/recovery-update.zip​
ROM Manager --> Reboot to Recovery Mode should load /sdcard/clockwork/recovery-update.zip
Phone Desktop --> Hold down power button --> Reboot to Recovery should load /sdcard/update.zip
If for whatever reason, you are not rebooting directly into Clockwork Mod Recovery (and booting into the stock Samsung recovery), just choose menu option: apply sdcard:update.zip. It will bring you into Clockwork Mod.
Note that if you are running a DL30 ROM, and recently flashed / updated Clockwork Mod Recovery through ROM Manager, then something screwed up. For whatever reason, ROM Manager downgraded Clockwork Mod Recovery from v2.5.1.0 --> v2.5.0.4. That version will not play nicely with DL30 ROMs. You will need to find a CWMR that works with DL30, and manually place it in the two locations specified above.
im having a couple of problems. when my phone turns on it goes straight to MAGLDR and says SD KERNEL OPEN FAILED.i have read numerous threads and still dont understand what i should do about this. the next problem is when i try to unzip a rom it says the "installation aborted" i would very greatful if u could help me get out of the MAGLDR menu and back to having a working phone. i have tried to flash back to a stock rom but i cant get my phone to connect to active sync. i have been struggling all day and cant figure out where i went wrong and i need your help please. I cant get out of MAGLDR at all and all i want is to flash back to a stock rom or any rom for that matter so i can use my phone again. Im sorry for creating a new thread because i know alot of people are having similar problems but i couldnt find an answer.
thanks adam
You need to flash ClockworkMod Recovery with the appropriate size system partition for the nand rom you intend to install. Flash the recovery from your pc with MAGLDR in usb flasher mode. Then in MAGLDR choose AD Recovery, and in recovery, choose 'install zip from sd', then pick 'choose zip from sd card' and choose the zip that is the rom you wish to install. Dont unzip it, Clockwork Recovery installs from .zip files.

Power your phone on while holding the vol down button. Your screen will have 4 colored bars. You can flash a stock rom from there. Your phone won't connect to ActiveSync or Windows Device Center while in this mode, but the stock windows rom will flash.

No problem, glad your phone isn't wrecked. If you still want to use Android, but don't want to mess with flashing it to your phone's internal memory, you can always use sd builds. Then you still have WinMo, and you can even have multiple different Android builds on your sd card, in different folders, there are programs for Windows Mobile that will even launch Android for you and let you choose which build to launch. It's alot simpler than flashing nand roms, just drag n drop a folder onto your sd card and bot into WM, use File Explorer to navigate into the folder, tap CLRCAD and haret.exe , and Android launches.

Hi,
More information is needed.
Please list everything you have done.
well i downloaded the hd2 kit posted and ginger breads latest nand rom also core droid the latest. Extracted the roms to their own folders. installed magldr, partitioned phone, booted to magldr, selected usb loader, then went to folder of extracted roms and nothing, no naf, no install only folders, boot etc...
i even followed your instructions to the t, but the roms that i download do not have raf or install files in them.

Hi,
You are NOT supposed to extract the(downloaded) zip folder which contain the ROM.
Leave it intact,and put it on the root of your sd card,using a card reader.
Once you have partitioned the phone,according to the [OP],
Go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).
Then go to install zip from sd card
Choose zip from sd card (which you should have placed on the root of your sd card,using a card reader)
After installation,reboot.
Give it time.
Some ROMS take 15-20 minutes to install.
i copied the zip file to the sd card root, installed and partitioned at 300mb, when i enter the ad recovery option it states: no boot services, what now?, sorry but im new to this
well i mamanged to get past everything but when the phone is booting it just shows the spash screen and restarts over and over
besides killing the spelling, i managed to do everything, but the phone loops after splash screen, 100% battery strength, any ideas
