[Q] Create DAF installer from CWM .zip file? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hey guys,
My SDcard just gave up on me while I was installing a ROM
The problem now is, I have no SDcard available and no option to install another ROM, as I can't use CWM (that uses the SD card obviously)
Is there an easy way to create a DAF installer from a CWM .zip file?

Did you allready tried to format your sd card?

[Q]Update fixed Clockworkmod isn't working

Update fixed the SD was broken I don't exactly know why but it explains everything so thanks for all your help and sorry for not being very
clear.
Hi I'm having issues with clockworkmod.
See the problem is while trying to flash cyanogen mod I was getting the endless loop so I kept
at it until I managed to flash it. The problem is I flashed Cm6.1.0 so easy fix right? Well I thought so too until clockworkmod wouldn't find the zip. So I tried nandroid and it again couldn't find any zip so I checked the partitions menu and clockworkmod had mounted the
Sd card and the cache. So I unmounted both and still nothing so I looked at the setting's again and it remounts the cache and sometimes the Sd card. Well my problem is worsened by
the fact that the version of cyanogen mod that did flash doesn't have the market or flash.
Any help will be welcome. HTC aria.

With CM 6, the Market is in the GoogleApps zip which must be installed after the ROM.
Also Flash 10.x does not run on the Aria; the CPU is not supported by Adobe.
Well clockworkmod won't find any zip not even nandroid and so my problem deepens so now can't get the market crap.

Some of your terminology in your post is very confusing. First of all, ClockworkMod will only find ZIP files that are copied to the root directory of your SD card. If you copied them to a folder on your SD card, CWM will not find them.
Second, Nandroid is a backup and restore utility and it does not use ZIP files. It creates backup folders on the SD card under /clockworkmod/backup and contains image files of the various partitions on your phone.
So what is the exact state of your phone? You stated that you have flashed CM 6.1? If you boot your phone normally, does CM 6 start up and are you able to use your phone? In order to install gapps.zip file to get the Market app, copy the gapps.zip file to the root of your SD card and see if ClockworkMod can install it. BTW, in CWM you are select "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard", right?

Not true, you can install ZIP files from any directory.

Thanks for correcting my misinformation. I guess the root location only applies to "update.zip", right?
Yup. And it actually must be named "update.zip"
Oh crap I just formated the boot partition and now my phone won't boot at all!
It still won't find any zip. What now? Is there any way to restore clockworkmod?

Are you copying the zip files from your PC to the sd card? Have you tried downloading a ROM zip file directly to your SD card using your phone's browser?
I have exactly the same problem...Clockwork will not see any .zip files....even tried mounting usb storage from cwm, it mounts and the zips are there, yet it can not find any of them when i try to find them (all are in the root of the sdcard)...any ideas?
So if you pick "choose zip from SD" you can't manually pick a zip?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Found a solution:
1. Get SD card formatter from HERE
2. Plugin your phone (as USB drive), start up the application and format the card (default options selected) NOTE: backup your SD card to your PC first (obviously)
3. Unplug the phone (or put it into charge mod, whatever)
4. The phone should now try (and fail) to mount the card...go to the SD options and format the card using the phone function
The .zip files should now be visible in ClockworkMod Recovery (it worked for me and a few others as far as i know)

edit - oops, my bad, corrected
In the android nand section, titled something like "clockworkrecovery, nand,SD, ver 5.0.2 yes/no stable" or something, (currently top post
Get both
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip
and
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip
Extract and copy the SD card ver onto SD card (copy the two files to SD, done)
And then copy the whole cwr.zip to SD card too.
Then, into magldr, "ad SD" will boot into the cwm files you placed on SD, and choose instal zip from SD,,, choose zip,, and select the cwm.zip you also placed on SD.
This will write the cwm image into the recovery partition without reflashing the cwm partition layout, so nothing lost.
[02 Nov][RECOVERY][NAND|SD][cLK|MAGLDR] ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 "YES/NO" STABLE
download the first two links
flash_image.zip
and
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip
unpack teh two files from recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip onto your sd card, and copy the whole flash_image.zip to sd card.
enter magldr
select 'boot ad sd' which will start cwm but from your sd card, from there you choose 'instal from zip - select zip' and select the flash_image.zip, which will reinstall cwm into the recovery partition on your nand, and now you should find that magldr 8 - ad recovery now works, and your rom hasnt been touched. plus you now have the latest cwm.

.*takes a bow*.
i did everything but on cwm when i try to install the flash image zip it says installing update.... installation aborted....
help
perhaps recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip should work?
yea sorry, you are right, its the 2nd and 3rd images you download, , you boot to the sd one (like you have ) and flash the cwm one. My mistake.

it worked!
aaaaaand relax.
Please, confirm if I get this right - the only way to make Rom manager work with HD2 is to use CLK bootloader, is that right. I had similar troubles to these decribed in the above posts and solved them in similar manner. I dont want to go all the way and install CLK and rom, restore back-ups and see it is too not working with Rom manager.

Format your sd card to FAT 32 and perform a task 29 on your phone. Re install the preferred bootloader and cwm and try again.
i did it. about 6 times. all proces.

first make sure your using the correct 5.0.2.6 recovery for hd2
and that your flash image is big enough
copy the rom.zip ( do not unpack) to your sdcard, either through CWR mounted to usb, or use a cardreader
i am using HD2 Toolkit. Never been any problems. by cardreader or either through CWR , can't install. only messege - bad, error. every rom!! The sd is formated. as usually. i don't know what's happend:/
I'm not a rookie in flashing. it is not ordinary error. it looks like the zip file are corrupted when i am trying to install them by the CWR. After the error when i try to open it the zip file on my computer by the win rar, it tells me that, the zip is corrupted. when i download it the rom the zip was good, cause i check it.
ps. sorry for english
it is no matter what rom i want to install. I always have this messege - "e:can't open /sdcard/roms_name.zip
(bad)
installation aborted
Zip file is good before put him to sdcard. after a press choose zip from sdcard the zip file is corrupted. Maybe something with CWR?;/
Eliminate all the possibilities, if you're using MAGLDR switch over to cLK and vice-versa, and then try again.

u are ****ing awesome sir
Heh, I know the reason why it is happening.
When you are doing the ext partition through CWM, the whole reserved space to this partition is corrupted. That's why there is an error messege when i'm trying to install zip rom. The file is corrupted immediately, and you can't even unpack him in windows, or linux.
Right now I am using the GParted. There is no more errors, after I did the partitions using this program
ufff
Thx 4 help anyway

how to flash something with CWM on SD android version??

Do you mean dual-boot android NAND via CWM AND android sd ? Yes, you can.

no,i have android with sense 2.1 on SD card and i wanna to install sense 3 lockscreen and i need to install it via CWM but when i click reboot into ClockWork recovery mod when i do it phone restart and boot windows mobile and when i boot android again nothing happens
You cant use cwm in sd roms.The only thing you can do is to unzip the cwm file you want to use.Inside you will find a folder called meta-inf and some other folders called /system and other
In the folder you have sd rom you will make a folder named Root and inside it,you will copy the folders from cwm zip and then restart rom.
