at last wrote somebody something I can understand ... it seems to me very complicated to find out something on this forum when somebody is android newbie.
I have only one question. Could I create ext3 partition in clock work recovery ? Is this android rom able to recognize it and work with it. I have american android 2.3.7 and Im not able to make this partition work in this ROM and thats why I have very small internal memory
BTW is this ROM stable with everything working ?

I partitioned my SD in CWM and haven't experienced any problems (with Typhoon CM7) so I would guess you'll be fine

so if I do this:
2. PARTITION YOUR STORAGE CARD FOR A2SD ROMS (IF REQUIRED)
NOTE1: Setting up a partition on your Storage Card will allow A2SD compatable Roms to automatically install apps to this partition rather than using your phones internal memory. This is useful for people that have alot of apps to install and for people who want to flash a Sense Rom and wont have much internal memory left.
NOTE2: Once you create an A2SD partition on your Storage Card all information will be lost so make sure to backup everything to your pc so it can be copied back after. The accessible space on your Storage Card will be made smaller by the amount of the partition you set up so only make it as big as you need make it huge if you dont have many apps to install)
1. Boot into the Clockwork Mod menu
2. Go down to 'Advanced' and select (by pressing 'Call Button')
3. Select 'Partition SD Card'
4. Select Size of required partition not sure then 1024M is a good size)
5. Make ABSOLUTELY sure you want to continue and then select 0M Swap Size
Your Storage Card will now be partitioned with the size you selected.
ALL DATA ON YOUR STORAGE CARD WILL BE LOST!!
-------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
3. FLASHING A CWM (CLOCKWORK MOD) ROM
1. Connect your phone to your pc via the USB Cable
2. In the Clockwork Mod main menu select 'wipe data/factory reset' and then 'Yes' on the next screen
3. When the data wipe is complete, select 'install zip from sd card' in the main menu
4. Go down to 'choose zip from sdcard' and select
5. Scroll down to your CWM Rom (which you should have copied to the Root of your Storage Card) and select it
6. Select 'Yes' from the options and wait until you get a message saying 'Install from sdcard complete'
Note: You can repeat steps 3-5 if you have more zips to install such as gps data or screen mods
7. Once finished press the 'Back' button to get to the previous menu screen
8. Select 'reboot system now' to restart your phone and your Android Rom should boot
9. Once Android has booted and you have gone through the setup screens, LONG PRESS the 'End' button and select reboot to reboot your phone to avoid possible FC (Force Close) problems
then should be my EXT3 partition working normally with this ROM ? And Im not gonna have any problem with insufficient internal memory ?

Yep First make a backup of your ROM in CWM, then copy the contents of your SD card to your PC. This is extremely important as partitioning WILL delete all SD contents. Copy the contents of the SD card back over and I think you would be fine as none of the internal stuff would be deleted. Boot up and see how it works. If everything is deleted, simply restore the backup and you're done

Im afraid that this instructions is working only with typhoon CM7 but not with NexusHD2-ICS-CM9. There is whole thread on how to run ext3 partition in this build but it is too complicated for me.
I just need simple instructions and active download links for programs I need to installation but I think I could just dream about it.
Typhoon CM7 clockwork recovery 3.0.2.5 150MB/5Mb download link is dead. 50 Percent of links on this forum are dead. I tried to download it by using google but it was futile.
Where could I get it ?
I have written a simple guide that may help you.

I dont know the Stock MIUI ROM but If everything is working and there is not any problem with internal memory then Im gonna try it
it is really hard to choose the suitable NAND ROM for HD2 because there is too wide selection so it is hard for newbie to pick one.
I had american android 2.3.7 SD and I liked it but problem was battery drain.

Stick to MIUI and CM7 ROMs in my opinion, Sense isn't fast (despite what people say, the Sense UI is a RAM hog and doesn't flow very well, even on the Desire S that my brother has) and these have no issues (camcorder on Sense is buggy). Battery drain will be far better on any NAND ROM compared to an SD ROM, and as long as you partition your SD card there won't be any issues with storage.

Dear All,
Many thanks for your links and suggestions.
This is what made me a happy man. May be it is useful for others.
1) Downgraded from HSPL 3.03 to HSPL 2.08 from HSLP4.exe
Step by Step Guide
Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
It will load into ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen bootloader.
You can see your HTC HD2 SPL version there.
Connect USB cable from PC to phone.
Serial status will be turned into USB.
At PC, right click on HSPL4.exe and select ‘Run as administrator’.
Click ‘Yes’ if User Access Control prompt up.
Follow onscreen instructions to install.
Do make sure that you select 2.08.HSPL.
After installation, you should see ‘We hacked it!’ on your phone.
That’s all.
2) Download Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 from http://www.wupload.in/file/2649215467/Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14.rar

FLASH CLOCKWORK MOD TO YOUR DEVICE from Recovery_250M_system_10M_cache_v3.0.2.4_.zip
NOTE: There are 3 CWM images attached at the bottom of this thread. You only need to install 1 of the images depending on what type of Android Rom you want to flash. The larger the size of the CWM Partition the less space there will be left for programs installed to your phone.
150MB Partition - For lite Roms without Sense such as CM7. Gives most internal space on your phone for apps
250MB Partition - Standard size Roms or squashed Sense Roms
400MB Partition - Full Sense Roms. Hardly any internal space for apps. 512ROM Leo's will need A2SD external partition set up
If you arent sure which size you need then check the first few posts of the Rom you want to flash as it will usually tell you which size partition it needs.
1. Download the CWM Partition you require and extract it to a new folder on your pc
2. Connect your phone to your pc via the USB Cable
3. Restart your phone and HOLD DOWN the 'End Button' (far right) until the Magldr Menu appears
4. Keep pressing the 'Volume Down' button to goto Option 5. USB Flasher and press the 'Call Button' (far left) to select it
*The screen should now say Wait USB...USB*
5. Run DAF.exe (Right Click and Run As Administrator if you have Vista or Windows 7) in the folder you extracted the image to and follow the intructions on your pc to start flashing
6. After flashing the phone will reboot. HOLD DOWN the 'End Button' (far right) until the Magldr Menu appears
To start Clockwork Mod keep pressing the 'Volume Down' button to goto Option 8. AD Recovery and press the 'Call Button' (far left) to select it
NOTE: If the Rom demands a different size CWM then you can download any of the attached sizes, then extract the contents and edit the flash.cfg file with Notepad. Change the sizes on the following lines depending on what you need:
system ya ***M (partition size)
cache ya **M (cache size)
4) FLASHING A CWM (CLOCKWORK MOD) ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354267
First NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta10.zip
and then
NexusHD2-Kernel_2.6.32.15_tytung_ics_r1-MAGLDR-update.zip
1. Connect your phone to your pc via the USB Cable
2. In the Clockwork Mod main menu select 'wipe data/factory reset' and then 'Yes' on the next screen
3. When the data wipe is complete, select 'install zip from sd card' in the main menu
4. Go down to 'choose zip from sdcard' and select
5. Scroll down to your CWM Rom (which you should have copied to the Root of your Storage Card) and select it
6. Select 'Yes' from the options and wait until you get a message saying 'Install from sdcard complete'
Note: You can repeat steps 3-5 if you have more zips to install such as gps data or screen mods
7. Once finished press the 'Back' button to get to the previous menu screen
8. Select 'reboot system now' to restart your phone and your Android Rom should boot
9. Once Android has booted and you have gone through the setup screens, LONG PRESS the 'End' button and select reboot to reboot your phone to avoid possible FC (Force Close) problems
NOTE: The first boot of your Rom will take alot longer than subsequent boots so leave it and give it time (15 minutes max)
IMPORTANT: If anything goes wrong, start fresh (DELETE EVERYTHING) from Wipe HTC HD2 Toolkit (HD2ToolKit4.2.0.1.zip)

There are few issues (faced till now) with NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta10 (Android 4.0.3) ROM
- No Video
- No Signature feature in Exchange Mail
- Camera hangs
- Gallery hangs sometimes. -- Solved by installing Real Player and opening images from there.
- Backlight seems dim even when full brightness is selected.
- I could not find an option to disable vibration in keyboard. -- Solved by "Go Keyboard" from Market. So far it is working perfectly.
Other than these, I am in love with my HD2.
Please suggest if there are any solutions to these.

I do not use Google Maps. But I turned down for a while and act as they should.
As for the camera - the camera is working, but I have a problem with the video recording. However, this is the solution to the first page of ROM which I sent to you.
- FB - I read about this problem but to be honest, this synchronization is not necessary to me.
I did not use this site. I checked only the most popular threads on xda. And I also just looked Android 4.0

Maybe more Devs post easy instructions like this??
I've been flashing ever since the HD2 existed and flashed hundreds or Builds, but was a bit, well...intimidated by the process of installing a build by anything other than using the DFT method, but today I came across a Coredroid build, so i flashed it using his instructions and have to say...EVEN I did it with 100% no problem at all.
Trust me, if I can do it, then a 2yr old can do it.
Here is the thread which contains the, what I find to be the best, easiest and well laid out set of instructions for, not-so-confident flashers like me:

I am now sitting in front of my HD2 for more than three hours and have watched several tutorials on how to get any android rom onto my HD2.
With MAGLDR I get the "123456 GO GO GO" - and then nothing happens
And before that there is a NAND KERNEL OPEN FAILED
Trying to get to the USB Mass Storage mode, Windows 7 (64) does not recognize the SD card. However, this shows then up in the USB eject menu (Eject MAGLDR)
With cLK I get some "flash_read_image: failed (511 errors) ERROR: Cannot read recovery_header" error
On my SD card, there is a ZIP file as downloaded "NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta10.zip", formatted as FAT32.
Before, I flashed a stock WinMo 6.5, installed HSPL and a matching Radio one more time...
So no method works for me. Please help me.
1 - the mass storage in magldr doesn't work (for large files at least)
2 - you need to flash cwm with the correct partition layout after flashing magldr(or clk) and before flashing the rom.

i just recommend you to try flashing one more time from a scratch !!
install everything back to stock !! (install spl 1.42.0000 and stock rom)
reboot your device and start again !!
1) install hspl 2.08
2) install radio 2.15.50.14
3) do a task29
4) install magldr/clk (your choice)
5) flash recovery
now !!
insert your memory card in ur pc via a card reader only (dont use any mass storage or anything else !! use a good card reader only !! )
format it to fat32 with allocation size unit to 32kb !!
put the card into phone !!
boot up the device and make a partition 512mb ext -0mb swap !!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013852
flash this rom!!
atleast for the start or any other rom of your choice !! !!
try booting up !!
may help !!
GOOD LUCK
i think your problem lies in the ext4 partition that you have to make.
Today i tried this ROM which works great.
First things first:
I have a EU HD2 too (512Mb)
with a 16Gb SD card
make sure you have HSPL 2.08 if not see this thread
What i did:
First download these:
-Notepad++ (if you don't have it)
-the ROM from the above link.
-MAGLDR 1.13 (but HD2 Toolkit takes care of this too )
-HD2 Toolkit (for various reasons including Task 29)
-i use 4EXT 2.2.7 by Dansta34 recovery instead of CWM, it's great and does EXT4 partitions
-i flashed 2.15.50.14 radio (but i think 2.14.50.04 is better, at least for me so i'm going to flash it back)
-Now i removed my SD card from the phone and format it in Windows as FAT32, no partitions just yet.
-Plugged the phone to my PC via USB
-Ran HD2 Toolkit and pressed the Task29 button (now your phone is wiped) while with the phone in bootloader (turn on while pressing the Volume down button)
-Use HD2 Toolkit to flash MAG Loader too, just press the button while in bootloader
-Now bring your phone in MAG Loader (turn on and keep the far right button/end call button pressed until the list appears on the screen) and choose USB Flasher (option 5)
-Go to the folder where you downloaded TBD Ext4 Recovery V2.2.7 ported & moded by Dansta34 and find the flash.cfg file.
-Open the file with Notepad++ and change it to look like this(if you are going to try the rom above):
misc ya 8M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery_leo.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 220M
cache ya 5M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
-Save and close the file.
-Run DAF.exe from the same TBD Ext4 Recovery V2.2.7 ported & moded by Dansta34 folder to flash Recovery.
-When finished enter MAG Loader again and choose option 8 - AD Recovery by pressing the far left button/call button. wait for it to load.
-Choose from the recovery menu Advanced (scroll down with the Volume down button and confirm with the call button)
-Choose Partition SD Card, choose Remove all partitions and start from scratch
-Choose first SDEXT 1024, second SDEXT - skip, swap 128 and most important Choose EXT4 file system.
-Go back and choose File System Check, choose SDCARD and let it repair.
-Now you can remove your SD card and copy the ROM on your FAT32 partition (the largest one in case you run Linux on your PC).
-Let it copy and put the SD card in your phone.
-Boot in MAG Loader, choose AD Recovery and select install ROM from SDcard.
-When prompted choose the proper options (EU HD2, MAGLDR, etc.)
You should be good to go now, it's a great rom.
Let me know if everything is ok, eventually PM me.
Good luck
I think there's the problem. I don't have a microSD cardreader, I only can copy the file directly to the microSD via the USB cable.
Any suggestions for that?
Do you still have the microSD -> SD adapter?
If not, i'm afraid you'll have to find one or a microSD card reader if your planning on flashing a lot
That's the root of your problems too
Disregard everything, it works!
I just had to wait for clockwork approx. one hour until it loaded...
That's not good either..You really don't have to wait that long over anything.
Anyway, when you decide to start fresh, look over my post above, it'll help, took me weeks to understand some things and luckly the search function works.
Yeah, I'll give it a shot, thanks!
The wait is really bad...
I know exactly how you feel, I've been there.
i still don't know everything either but little by little, searching here and there and we'll make it

Hi Katalin,
Thanks for your post. I intend to use this ext4 partition next time when I''ll flash a new ROM. Tell me please is really good or is just a new thing and that's all?
Salutare
I read about it last night when trying the new NRG ROM since a lot of people were having problems with CWM.
Apparently we needed EXT4 file system partition and CWM does EXT3 only.
The only thing i don't like about it it's the background, i think the rest it's better especially the partitioning menu.
I have written a guide that might can simplimify things some for you.
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium
Hello everyone..
I have a real quick question..
1) Used HD2Toolkit4.2.0.1 and performed Wipe (task29)
2) With HD2Toolkit, installed HSPL (bootload shows SPL-2.0.8.HSPL)
3) With HD2Toolkit, installed MAGLDR (reboot and phone goes into MAGDLR)
Heres the problem
1) Go into bootloader and try to install Recovery_v1.3_150 but program does not recognize usb connection. (failed install)
2) Go into MAGDLR and go down to #5 USB Flasher and computer is not recognizing connection between phone and computer.
3) Went into bootloader (bootloader shows "usb" and Tried to install DFT android flasher for HTC LEO but install fails saying: "usb init failed".
4) On MAGDLR screen, i go down to #8 AD Recovery and screen says : No boot sources
What am i doing wrong and why isnt computer acknowledging usb connection with phone and installing progs i need to flash new rom. (using windows 7 ultimate)
I previously performed my first flash to this phone yesterday and everything went just fine. Someone with the know-how please tell me what i am doing wrong and what i should do to complete this properly.
(trying to install Coredroid ONE X)
Thank You
Ok i have figured out how to get clockwordmod recovery installed as well as DFT nanddroid.
but now i am having a problem getting coredroid v3.6 installed. when i use clockworkmod, i partition the sd card using 1024 and 0. then i mount usb, transfer over coredroid v3.6.zip into new temporary F.Drive. After, i install zip from sdcard then choose zip from sdcard. The program locates coredroid and ask to install rom and i execute command. the flash process begins. Once rom is finished loading it freezes up and i have to remove battery. Rom is lost at this point and it goes back into MAGDLR.
What is the problem at this point. ?
What partition size did you use and what is recommended for CoreDroid? Make sure this is correct, otherwise the ROM won't boot.

Don't use MAGLDR's USB Mass Storage, use an SD reader.
@ NIGELDG - Perhaps its the partitition size that could be the problem. But this is the partition i use from the Coredroid instructions.
Using ClockworkMod :
Goto Partition SD Card menu.Select maximum 1024m. (which is recommended from coredroid instructions),then it says to Select the 0m .
@ MARVLESZ - Its not Mass usb storage that im using:
Using ClockworkMOD :
I go to mount USB storage
A new drive is mounted to your PC.
Navigate to MyComputer and open the new drive (ex: F: E: G: etc…)
Go to the HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.12 folder
Copy the HD2_Core_DroidDesire_HD_V1.12.zip to the HD2 sd card root (the new mounted drive ex: F.
When finished copying , i unmount then:
“-install zip from sdcard”, and press call button (left).
“-choose zip from sdcard”, and press call button (left).
Select the CoreDroid_V*.*.zip, and let it install.
Problem is that it will sometimes install 46% of rom then freeze up.
Other times it will load the entire rom up, say its complete then freeze up and not let me continue with reboot.
(Even though the instructions say this is what you use to install coredroid HD2 with, when reading the instructions it says this is for coredroid desire)
Which instructions should i use or what step am i not doing correctly?
Noob Dude said:
@ NIGELDG - Perhaps its the partitition size that could be the problem. But this is the partition i use from the Coredroid instructions.
Using ClockworkMod :
Goto Partition SD Card menu.Select maximum 1024m. (which is recommended from coredroid instructions),then it says to Select the 0m .

not that type of partition, thats the ext partition. He means the system partition size you chose when you installed CWM, , that determines which roms you can flash, the rom tells you in post 1 (or 2) teh size you need.

I previously performed my first flash to this phone yesterday and everything went just fine. Someone with the know-how please tell me what i am doing wrong and what i should do to complete this properly.

phone feel warm lower back at all? try chilling it in teh fridge for twenty minutes, see if a flash goes all teh way through. (after first confirming the system partition size as mentioned)
ok.. ill try that.. thank you
Help once again....
Where can i locate the necessary partition needed to successfully install coredroid . ?? Do i partition it with HDToolkit? or clockworkmod?
I know that clockworkmod recovery performs an sd card partition but according the coredroid DHD instructions it says to partition 1024 and then 0 (dont understand the reason for this partition) Each time i follow the coredroid instructions, the farthest i get is to installing the rom but once its reached 100% and says to continue for reboot, the phone freezes and i cannot reboot. when i take the battery out to reboot, it goes back to clockwork (or is it magdlr, but no coredroid rom is loaded.
If ANYONE that has flashed: HD2 CoreDroid GB 2.3.5 V3.7 & Froyo 1.8 , PLEASE find the time to give me the step-by-step on which partition size (what program to partition it-HD2toolkit i presume) and the necessary steps to install this correctly. ill send you a cyber case of ShockTop or Heineken.
The 1024 and 0 refer to creating the ext partition on the SD card through cwm,,, namely 1gb ext and 0 swap.
What you need is the partition size needed for the system partition. It will tell you in post 1 of that roms thread,, usually something like " 5/150/5" and in this case you use the toolkit,, choose 150 on the left, put 5 in the cache box below, then click repartition.

ok so with that being said:
1) Load Hdtoolkit
2) Perform task 29 wipe
3) With HDTK, partition 150 and cache 5 (if according to threads recommendation for particular rom)
4) (im assuming i wont have to reinstall HSPL 2.08 correct)
5) With HDTK install MAGDLR
6) Install clockworkmod rec. (not from HDTK)
7) load clockwork and partition EXT 1024 and 0
8) Load rom from zip
9) that should be it.?
Anything im missing or anything i should add? And what if i like my current rom better than the new rom i just installed. Anyway of preserving that? or just install it again?
Pretty much, but a few notes...
2) no need to task29 99 times in 100. Only if you are having real troubles. Its rarely needed, and just increases odds of getting bad blocks.
3) 5) and 6)
Performing the partition installs cwm at the same time, and no need to reinstall magldr (unless you lost it by doing task29)
if you did the steps you listed, step 3 couldn't work (because no magldr) and would be pointless anyway, because step 6 is exactly the same as step 3. "Partitioning" and "installing cwm) are the same thing.
4) correct, Hspl and the radio are two things you needn't worry about unless you flash a stock winmo rom.
problem partitioning
Ok... im going to give it a shot with installing this new rom.
Ran into a snag though... coredroid says the following:
boot 10
system 180
cache 10
Now ive just done a task29 with HDTOOLKIT.. (successful wipe).
Ive placed phone in bootloader
With HDtoolkit - MAGDLR Repartition set at 200 (since there is no 180) and Cache is set at 10. ( i dont see boot on tooklit)
Execute Repartition BUT DFT is stating: (USB init failed)
(bootloader on phone says USB)
Whats the problem or what am i not doing right or missing?.

ok samsamuel.
1) i tasked 29.. (sorry didnt catch your other post about overwiping the phone)
2) checked to make sure hspl is one the phone still (bootloader)
3) kept phone in bootloader mode (shows USB connection)
4) selected MAGDLR Repartition on HD2TK
5) Set System Partition at 200 (since 180 is not avavilable as stated on coredroid page one )
6) Set Cache at 10 (according to coredroid)
7) Executed Repartition.
8) DFT tries to parttition phone but says USB Init Failed.
Where is the problem here?
You can set 180 by choosing custom at end of sizes list.
Phone should be in magldr - USB flasher mode, not bootloader.
Ok ive done everything according to what has to be done... thanks a million guys..!!!! BUT!!!
1) installation completed.
2) Rom says to REBOOT NOW
3) Pressed green call button to confirm
4) Screen says: Thanks and enjoy your new firmware with FINISH button at bottom.
5) Try to execute FINISH button but seems as though screen is frozen.
Anyone who has installed this rom before, is this common? Should i wait?
Each time it does this, I remove the battery and it goes back to MAGDLR.
Help please!!
ok... ive got it...!!!! ive figured out that the coredroid ONE rom must not be compatible with the hd2.. but when i ran coredroid DHD v3.7 it installed automatically...
i really want to say thank you to all you guys that pitched in with helping an old geezer like me. i know your time is more important, but you were considerate enough to give a hand. it was truly appreciated!! Thanks again Samsamuel....

I What is "NativeSD"
As the name shows, the SD card now do what native storage do. In other words, we can leave the nand and done almost everthing with one SD card!
II Benifits of NativeSD
1. Common benifits
Don't need to worry about bad blocks in nand, no need to adjust system size。
2. On premise of large storage of SD card
The partition used as native storage can be very large duo to your SD card(<32GB).
Muilt ROMs(wm,wp,androids)
3. On premise of fast SD card
Faster Read/Write speed than NAND ROMs,better。
III Install ROM
1. Prepare
*1)Android rom that support NativeSD, cellphone(LEO,with SD card, battery>50%), computer,cable,4EXT recovery
*2)Backup all your data on SD card(if you want to keep it).
2.magldr users
1)This is the case that you download the SD version of 4EXT recovery.
copy the unziped files to you fold "a" in your SD card.("a" is just a sign,can be any name,just make sure the folder is in the root directory of SD card)Notice: please make sure these files are in the root directory of "a",not any sub folder:clcad.exe,haret.exe,initrd.gz,startup.txt,zImage

How to uninstall one of the nativesd rom.

Thank you very much!!
Can't boot
I made EXT4 partition, and instaled Magldr, and than instaled WM ROM, and copied EXT4SD recovery (first one on list), extract, and use folder '4EXTRecovery' and paste to SD card root, and now, what to do(?) how to get in recovery mod, or, how to get to Magldr menu? Please help
NativeSD without flashing MAGLDR or cLK?
my background:
I use Android ICS and MIUI on Leo HTC HD2, booting from SD-Card using haret.exe in WM6.5.
I can't flash my device with MAGLDR or cLK, because it's leased and I have to return it back in some time with the original WM6.5.
Now my question:
Can I use native SD instead of "standart SD", because I hope it's faster, wihthout flashing any custom boot loader and destroing the original OS?
If I got it right, flashing a MAGLDR or cLK erases the complete device (except of HSPL and radio), right?
The only thing I dared to do before, was to flash the HSPL and a Radio Update, because this didn't touched the WM6.5.
I came so far to create a EXT4 and a FAT32 partitions on my SD-Card (32MB, Class 10) with "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 7.6". Then I downloaded the 4EXT Recovery and booted it from WM6.5 with haret.exe, but now I'm stucked.
All I got is, the 4EXT Recovery do the same job as this MiniTool. It makes partitions on my SD-Card.
I planed to install NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.1 ROM as NativeSD, but I'm afraid I can't do this without flashing the MAGLDR or cLK and erasing the WM6.5
Any help?
thanks for the guide

OK, I helped myself. Thanks!
Partitioned the SD-Card with 4EXT-Recovery again. Created 2 EXT4 partitions 2 GB each, the rest (25 GB) goes for the FAT32 partition.
Then installed the "NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.1 ROM".ZIP (was an AROMA installer) from FAT32 partition and it worked!
Altough it's all very slow and the second EXT4 partition is unused. don't know why the recovery aked my to create one.
"I What is "NativeSD"
As the name shows, the SD card now do what native storage do. In other words, we can leave the nand and done almost everthing with one SD card!"
I'm REALLY new here so this might be a naive question but does that mean we'll be able to run WM 6.5 and WP 7 in a dual boot configuration now? From what I've heard they can only be installed on the HD2's NAND leaving room for either or, but since you say that NativeSD can do whatever the native storage does I thought it might be possible to run them direct off the SD?
Thank you for this guide.
Hello
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126053&page=1 I i tried setup that rom on my hd2 but i have problem. First I setup magldr and i did 384mb recovery. After I partioned my sd card with mini tool partition wizard. 32kb cluster with 6,5gb fat32 and 1gb default cluster ext 4. I coppied rom file on my sd card and i entered to ad recorvery>choose zip from sd card and on that page sd card size looks 6593mb but sd ext size is -1. What's wrong and how I fix it? And i didn't see anywhere on topic but did I need use 4extrecorvery etc. another file on sd card? I use only task29 magldr, 384mb recorvery. Sorry for my bad english but i hope you understand me. Thanks all.
Did you set both partitions as Primary when creating them?

Recovery or system? System should be 384. Recovery should be 6mb for ext4recovery, 8mb for TWRP (which I recommend).

You can also use TWRP Extended. It should be better choice than ext4recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120297
Do you plan to use only Android or dual boot with WM6.5/WP7?
If you're going android only way you may try also CLK instead of MAGLDR - it makes repartitioning NAND easier
Using this file you will get flashable img file (just put in in you sd card and hold vol- during powering) with CLK and TWRP Extendend.

Thank you for your message so so much. I didn't do 4ext etc anything and don't know anything about that. I only know flashing rom with cwm:crying: Which steps I must do for flash them? Do you have a tutorial for that? Also I don't understand anything for TWRP etc. I saw it firs time now:crying: And I want only android. Don't want dual boot etc.
Now I removed phone with task29 and flashed TWRP. What can I do now? Phone waiting on main menu

Good!
Now, you are in TWRP menu.
1) First, go to reboot (TWRP is touch based) and select bootloader. Phone will reboot to bootloader (clk).
2) Select (navigate via vol+ and vol-, enter the menu by pressing "green" phone) SETTINGS, than RESIZE PARTITION
3) Select SYSTEM and set size to 390.
4) Go back using back arrow button, select COMMIT CHANGES and APPLY
5) Press back arrow button to return to menu and select RECOVERY
Now, you are properly partitioned and back in recovery (TWRP).
6) Go to ADVANCED -> PARTITION SD CARD. Check your partitions. First one (SD card) should be VFAT. Second one is SD-Ext. Check SD-Ext size. Should read: 1024 MB or something similar If it is so, click arrow in lower left corner of screen. No you are back on home screen.
7) Select INSTALL. In file manager select zip file with rom you want to install. Installer will start. elect DATA ON EXT type of install (should be best choice for you). Remember to select PPP type of connection if asked.
8) When installer will finish, reboot. Your phone should boot straight to android.
