[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.

^ kinda like this
but im usin a regualr battery

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

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.)

thanks ive being beating the %^$# outta the f5 BUTTON all day
i did what u said
btu i dont comepletely understand how this works? care to explain
the instructions i used never said anything about partioning nand
what does that mean, an do
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
nand boot failed (or very close)

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] Required partition size, Required cache size

hello all..
I'm helping a friend installing a NAND version Android on his HD2 device running WM 6.5
I've upgraded the SPL to HSPL 2.08, and installed MAGLDR. I'm at this point now.. I haven't installed ClockworkMod yet. and I'm still choosing between ROMs.
While searching, I keep finding a line talking about "the required partition size" and "the required cache size". My question is, Is this just an informative line telling you what to expect, or you need, according to this info, to reconfigure disk space, or anything else in your phone?
Also, Can I install ANY HD2 ROM using MAGLDR, and this method?
Thanks in advance,

Read the guide in my signature, everything should be clear. Each ROM requires a certain partition size, you can change it using the hd2 toolkit. Almost all ROMs will work with MAGLDR and CWM. You shouldn't have to change the cache partition size, I haven't come across a ROM which uses a 45MB cache partition yet.

Thank you my Nigeldg... I'll check it out.

You need to install the HD2 toolkit, boot into Magldr, choose USB flasher mode and repartition the nand storage and cache according to rom specifications.

[Q] No boot after flashing NexusHD2 ICS-CM9-HWA v. 2.9a native SD

Hello, I want to have ICS on my HD2, I followed the video tutoral for installing but at the end I can only see the HTC on a white ground.
Here are my steps:
- format of sd with SD Formatter,
- with MiniTool sd formatted in FAT32 primary (25 GB) and ext4 primary (4 GB),
- copied extracted recovery 4ext 2.2.7 on sd,
- copied ROM on sd,
card into HD2,
- Tookit: wipe all data and install MAGLDR 1.13,
in MAGLDR go to 10 Services, 1 Boot Services, 3 AD Direction, choosing ext4, back to 2 Boot AD SD,
then install zip from sd, choose zip, ROM.
Aroma installer: choose native sd = installing. After last NEXT back to MAGLDR to 10 Services, 1 Boot Settings, 3 AD SD Direction, choose native sd, back to 2 AD SD direction.
The boot process looks good up to the HTC on white ground.
I think I´ve made somewhere a mistake but I dont know where. So please help.
Your mammaonecat

I have same problem before. Finally, I use recovery 4ext to format my sd instead of using mini tool. Then problem solved.

Thanks cswong, I have tried the partition inside 4ext with the same result. I´ll try it once more. But another question: do I have to go to "fix permissions" in MAGLDR/advanced or is it enough to take point 2 "Boot AD SD"?

It should not need to "fix permissions".

You mean that you only get to the white screen with green HTC letters? You don't even get to magldr when booting normally? Then I don't think it's a problem with sd card, and you could try system repartition. From toolkit, choose magldr repartition, on the phone choose AD recovery in magldr.
This also reinstalls recovery.

No boot after flashing Nexus HD2 ICS.CM9-HWA v. 2.9a native SD
Thanks jvzijp. I thought that I don´t need a MAGLDR repartition for installing as native sd. I think I give it a try later on. I think there are too many video examples for flashing and that confuses.
Yesterday evening I´ve installed the ROM as NAND with MAGLDR repartition, with DAF.exe without partitioning the sd card. And as I can see most of it works. And I have a free space of internal memory of about 650MB, thats enough for me.
BUT: I have a weak WiFi-connection.
I´ve learned from other threads that most of the roms of ICS and JB have this problem. Is there a solution possible? I´ve looked at Play Google but there are so many apps. :silly:

I don't know whether repartition is needed for nativesd but worth a shot..
You'll probably not run out of memory soon. If that is the case, I recommend dataonext option.
I haven't noticed wifi problems, only on tytung's jb 4.2

[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?

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?

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.
