I want to try a ROM which says:
Partition Layout (5/155/5) use hd2 toolkit
SDext: min. 500mb
I am not 100% sure what does it mean SDext is probably 500 ext patition bigger than 500
5/155/5 is
5 cashe
155 data and
5 WHAT????
Cant figure this out.
Thank you
Do you have any android rom installed? If yes, then you should (I had on every rom) have an option on reboot menu: reboot, recovery and BOOTLOADER - choose this one. And there you have SETTINGS->REPARTITION NAND and there set these ones your roms prefers. If you have not, then try to install this rom choosen by you, and maybe there will be option BOOTLOADER on menu. These are partitions, for example 155data(system) is space for system (I think). But standard settings are good for me and works with every rom.
[EDIT]
Try to boot phone by holding [back] nad [Power]. This opens bootloader and there you can set all.
Partition your nand using HD2 Nand Tookit.
First 5 is boot partition set to 5 by default
155 is system partition,
next 5 is cache size.
sdext partition can be set up from recovery (in cwm recovery go to advanced menu and select partition sd card), follow instructions for your rom. This can be used as if it was internal memory by your rom..
ALSO you might want to take a look HERE..
Edit: best to post any questions about any specific ROM in the ROM thread
This question was not "how-to", but more "what does 5/155/5 mean" type of question. Last time I played with internal memory of the device all I had to do was select the appropriate CWM version. This is why I asked here, I think it belongs, cos is general knowledge kind of thing.
I kind of dont see how to fiddle the size of /boot, no problems with /data and /cashe, but since you say this is default I wont have to, I suppose.
A few days ago I was pissed of by CyanogenMod (and stock Andriod in general), cos the only option to deal with Vcards is Handsend sms, but Handsend will not search for contacts correctly in Bulgarian (CYR) when installed on vanilla Android - small letters will not match capital and vice versa in contact names. This is why I decided to go for Sense - the message app is simply better...
Rather than using toolkit, download the CWM package and inside is a file called flash.cfg. Open this file and you should get this (maybe a different system or cache size)
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 150M
cache ya 5M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

5/155/5 is basically the middle three lines, i.e. 5Mb boot partition, 150Mb system partition and 5Mb cache partition. I don't know why chefs post it like this as I'm reasonably sure the boot is always 5Mb (I've never seen differently) so they could just post the system partition size (as quite a lot do). Hope this helps

You can use CWM Recovery it's very easy to use for repartition your nand, but you must install MAGLDR or CLK first if you want go to recovery..

Hm, this is something I missed!
1. I use mainly Ubuntu, hence I have have to rely on Wine or a pc I almost dont use for windows
2. I have CWM and MAGLDR installed
How to re-partition based on config file only? Can I do it?
Put the config where? (sdcard, ROM.zip)
Run what in CWM.
You would make my day, since I am away form how, with my laptop only, the ROM I run has a bug with wifi tether and I have to change it, but options are quite limited, since I dont know how to re-part, I have to choose ROMs that rely on system less or equal to 155 at teh moment. And I need a Sense, since others cant receive 100% vcards in Bulgarian (CYR)

Hi All,
I need real help with ClockworkMod Recovery. I have been installing Android on HD2 using storage card (haret.exe) method. Then I moved to NAND without any problems.
But I am not able to understand ClockworkMod Recovery at all. I looked at lots of threads and also the main thread for ClockworkMod Recovery. I know how to install it. I have installed it on my phone. But for some reason I was stuck in the loop after installing the ROM {[22 JAN] -=MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6 [A2SD+][GRH78C][RMNET][Kernel: MDJ S10.4 OC]}. I did exactly same as the video tutorial says. My radios and HSPL is fine. Coz I am able to use the same ROM in NAND mode. But still in ClockworkMod Recovery mode the phone kept restarting and never got to the main screen.
I also do not know what ext2, ext3, ext4 partitions are. Do I need to make them before installing the ROM? Also on the main thread for ClockworkMod Recovery, it has 3 partition files. 250MB, 350MB and 450MB. I do not know what that is. Which one to use for which ROM and what are the differences between them?
What is the use of ClockworkMod Recovery if I have to flash this partitions every time I install new ROM?
Also can someone tell me what backing up the ROM means? Does it mean I can back up my current one and flash new one, and if I do not like the new one I can restore the old one in the same state (with my APPS and SETTINGS)?
Please please help me with ClockworkMod Recovery fundamentals. I would really appreciate it.
One more thing, I would not post a question if I haven't looked around enough for answers. As you can see I have been doing this from months, but only asked one question before and this is the second one. So please do not take me for someone who does not look around for answers. I do, its just that I did not find anything real good to explain me from the bottom. So please someone help me out.
Thanks in advance.
EXT partitions can be thought of as extended partitions on your SD card. They are used to "extend" your storage capacity. Some ROMS place some of the ROM files on the SD-EXT partition. This is done particularly for the EU HD2 where it has only half the storage on-board that the TMOUS HD2 does. If you are using a ROM that requires one you do have to create the partitions before installing/flashing the ROM.
The three different flash.cfg files on the CWM thread are files used to instruct DFT how to re-partition your on-board storage (NAND). There are several partitions, up to 16 at the moment. Some ROM's use 4 partitions, some use 6 or more. Typically, non-CWM ROM's use only 4 partitions (boot, system, data, cache), whereas CWM ROM's use those same ones as well as a miscellaneous and recovery partition.
The main reason for the different files is that some ROM's use more space for the system partition. The different flash.cfg files just simply allocate more or less space to the system partition.
You don't technically have to flash new partitions every time you flash a new ROM. As long as you know how to modify the ROM to work with your current partition setup it will work. Or, get ROM's that use the same type of partition layouts. Since the release of CWM, more ROM's are becoming available for installation via the ZIP deployment method in CWM, which means they ALL use the same partition (with exception of the system partition size) setup.
If you have a TMOUS HD2 with plenty of onboard storage it's easier to just create a larger system partition and never have to worry about repartitioning. That's what I did. I have a 450 MB system partition and every time I deploy a new CWM ZIP ROM I don't have to repartition anything.
You nailed it on the head about backing up via CWM. It backs up all your partitions (boot, system, cache, sd-ext, data, etc) and saves them to your SD card. That way you can flash a new ROM or do a hard reset. Then later if you want you can do a full restore and be exactly where you left off before doing so. That is, if you flash a ROM that has the same partition layout. If you flash a ROM with a different partition layout, the restore may or may not work until you repartition the same as the original ROM was when you flashed it.
The only issue with all this is that since there isn't a set standard yet for ROM's and their partition layouts any ROM chef can define their own partition scheme which can make for a hassle when trying different ROM's. I expect that at some point there will be a standard set of partitions that will be used between all different chefs to make things easier. CWM ROM deployments and updates are definitely the future of this and how all native Android devices are handled. I imagine that will become the case down the road for the HD2 as well.
Hopefully that clears it up for you a bit. Sorry about writing a novel...

Amazing explanation. Thanks a lottt man. Just one more question, I have TMOUS HD2 abd I did the same thing as you said. 450MB of partition. And then tried to install the MDJ's CM7 ROM. I got the message saying the ROM is successfully installed. and then I rebooted my phone. But it kept rebooting itself. Any particular reason you know of?

Is this using the 400 MB flash.cfg file from the CWM thread? The reason I ask is that I checked that flash.cfg file and the boot partition is flagged as the bootable partition. I'm not familiar with the CM7 ROM from MDJ, but is it set to deploy via CWM with a boot folder in the ZIP file?
Also, have you run logcat (if you're familiar with that) while the issue is happening to see what is going on?
To be very frank I did not understand what you just told me sir. Only thing I can tell for sure is I downloaded the .zip file from the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877777 . And I do not know what logcat is. I am sure you must be thinking that I am an idiot. Forgive me for my ignorance.

Hi,
First of all I am sorry for the noob question, but how can I verify what is the partition size of Clockworkmod Recovery is creating in my cell phone?
I have a T-Mobile HD2 with MAGL 1.3, Clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.1 and Hyperdroid CM7 installed. Under Settings/About Phone/ Mem Info I see 134MB/411MB. Is the CWM partition related with this?
In the past I used the HD Core Droid version 1.5 witch was a very big Android ROM (270Mbytes), now a installed the Hyperdroid witch is very light (67Mbytes). But I just installed the ROM without changes in the CWM layout. Any suggestions about?
Thanks

looks like your partition is set for around 400mb
you can modify the flash.cfg file in cwm by opening it with notepad.
and change the numbers to those recomended by the Rom dev
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize MAGLDR_recovery_3.0.2.4-seadersn.img
boot yboot|ro 8M
system ya 400M
cache ya 8M

Thanks for your help. Just a few question.
Where is located the flash.cfg file? So, just changing the parameter system ya from 400M to 150M is enought to release space to install more apllications?
Thanks

u will need to instal everything again and use the toolkit to install the 150 mb partition ... witch will leave about 200mb free ...if u install 120 mb that will leace about 300 mb free ... if u go lower mayve the rom wont boot.
for hyperdroid i used ti flash 100 mb but with 90mb the rom dont boot ...it's advisable to flash the partition set by the dev of any rom...

no, it isnt related at all, thats the memory, the RAM, not the partition size.
there is nowhere as standard that shows you teh size of the system partition (which is what you mean by CWM partition).
You can see the size of the data partition by going setings - storage - internal storage.
to see teh others, get 'super manager' from teh market, open it, and choose file explorer.
now, at teh top of the foldes list, in small writing under where it says 'back up level folder' it gives you details of teh folder you are currently in, ,
so use it to browse into your system folder, and look at the info.
EG mine says 'total 150M used 137.4M, bla blah' because I have a 150Meg system partition, and teh typhoon rom comes to about 137 meg when unzipped.
If i now browse into the cache folder, that info shows 'tot 40M, used 1.1M.....' because i chose a 40meg cache partition.
you can do the same with the sd-ext folder to see how big and how full your EXT partition on the sd card is.
Thanks a lot for all the answers. Now the this thing is getting clear for me.
Thanks guys.
Hello everybody
I have to post here because I can't in NAND development...
This is a general question, but I post the title of the Bliss sense 3.5 rom because I actually have this...
This is a great rom , but I have 2 problems with my EU 512mb HD2...
The first, and very important, is the room left... Looking with Apps2sdgui those are my general info:
internal memory free(total): 25mb(206mb)
sd-ext free(total): 1392mb(1830mb)
cache free(total): 25mb(206mb)
So, what can I exactly delete using root explorer? Can you explain me please what exactly apps2sdgui does? I haven't understood its function, because my internal memory is full though Apps2sdgui says "apps are on SD"...
The second is the available ram... I have max 60/70mb free, according to Apps2sdgui... Sometimes, when switch from an app to another, I see the white screen with the htc green word in the middle for a 10-15 seconds... What can I do to make my phone faster and more fluid?
You do not have to delete anything using root explorer, and your apps seems to be in your SD card's EXT partition. Your cache seems poetry high though- not much you can do without backing up, repartitioning and restoring.
The free memory seems ok, though not great. Sense 3.5 builds are still being developed and are not stable yet. The HTC logo that flashes by is your Android rebooting.
If you prefer stability, choose an AOSP or CM7 build...

Stuck on Quitely briliant screen
Hi
I have tried flashing this rom through CLW and everything goes well until the device reboots. it gets stuck on the Quietly brilliant screen. I left it run for 30 minutes with no luck of actually booting the system.
I have noticed when i pull my battery out and mount the device nothing is created on the SD card (no folders or files).
I have a 3 GB SD card and I have partitioned it through AD recovery with 2GB and 0 swap EXT partition.
I flashed MYUI again since i was using it before but i would really like to try your Sense Rom on my HD2 (T-Mobile).
Am I missing something? I have to say that I also tried using other Sense Roms and got the same problem. stuck on the HTC green screen or the Quietly brilliant screen and my system never loads!
Thanks for you help and keep up the good work.

Thanks for the reply. I am not really sure I have done CWR partition. All I have done is SD partition to 2GB and 0 swap since I have always used MIUI Roms on my HD2 and before I had WM7 and stock Roms.

Because this ROM very big so it need use many NAND space and SD-EXT Partition to store sytem and app.
App was moved to EXT partition but Dalvik cache still on NAND so you can move Dalvik cache to EXT to save more Internal memory (when you move Dalvik to EXT, you will have about 150-200 Mb free on NAND)

Ok, as I thought, you didn't
If you already have magldr, this is what you have to do:
1. flash recovery. this is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?f81pamq6fbjmtw5
(I've found this link here in the forum)
download it, then you have to modify this file: flash.cfg
you have to open it with notepad, but put an eye on NOT change permanently the extension ( it's .cfg, have to be .cfg)
once you opened it, you have to modify like that:
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 440M
cache ya 5M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
-my english is not very good, if you don't understand PLEASE tell me and I'll explain it again-
save the changes, then go to magldr menu, connect phone to pc, search in your phone in magldr menu "usb flasher", run DAF.exe in recovery folder on pc, follow the guide. Your phone will reboot and go to magldr menu.
Choose "ad recovery".
2.wipe full data, and dalvik cache
3. flash rom: in ad recovery, choose "install zip from sd card", and select your rom
4. reboot
If someting goes wrong, please tell me

You're welcome ( is this the way to say this?)
Yes of course, you can always change rom
If you want to change to miui, cm7 and so on, you only have to change cwr version to v3.0.2.5 or else ( it's written in rom thread )...
if you want to change recovery partition, you only have to use notepad again and run daf.exe again... I think it's quite simple...
Please tell me the result

Just tried it. It looks amazing and exactly as I expected.
Only one thing that I don't like is that it is very choppy! as in when u click on something it takes few seconds to load or when u switch screens there is a lag or a drag as if there is not enough memory to run the command.
Anyway we can tweak the settings of the recovery to make it faster?

Yes, I experience it too... If you read my whole thread, I asked for some solution, but I think there aren't... Sense-based roms are slowlier than non-sense, hd2's hardware is perhaps a bit too old, but this is only my opinion... Have you read the thread in Nand development? I've tried some sense 3.0 rom, but I can say with no doubt this is the fastest...
This is the 1.1 release, next update will probably be better in speed... And I hope in camera and bluetooth fix as soon as possible... I'm pretty satisfied, for maximum sense experience, I think we should buy sensation, evo or other younger htc
You can try deleting some apps, if you don't use them, and look at task manager, it helps you stopping background apps, that can free ram memory...
Which kernel do you use? Most of people wrote in rom thread in nand development that jw-tytung is faster, and I confirm... All these things will help you, this is my opinion...
Hey there,
i'm using the HTC Bliss Rom for 2 days now and i think it's really great, but i have one problem, and it is significant. Everytime the display goes in standby-mode the connection gets lost. Even when i call somebody and put the phone to my ear, the connection breaks up immediately when the display turns itself off.
I really want to keep this rom, so please can somebody help me
Today I was updating my android rom (one of the first nands) and I've updated magldr and installed CWM.
Then I installed a new rom with CWM and after reboot he keeps showing the bootscreen of the rom, I've tried another rom and it's the same...
Can anybody help me?
The most common reason for being stuck at bootscreen is improper partition size. You sure you got that right?
I've taken the largest partition size (400mb)...
you don't take the largest, but rather the most suitable. (or the one stated in the rom's thread) you should also take into consideration whether the rom NEEDS sd-ext or not.
What rom do you want to use/upgrade?
Have you met the requirements? (sd-ext/system partition/cache/radio)
I've a EU 512mb HTC HD2. I don't know my rom anymore that I used but I think its a darkforce froyo rom...
I've parted my sd with cwm: 1024ext, 64mb swap and used the 400mb CWM
Now I want to install the Runnymede 3.5 or the Desire HD 3.06.405.1 - Sense 3.0 - Android 2.3.5 [v1.4][RAFPIGNA 1.9GB], i don't know which one is better...
link to those roms please?

okay for the first one (runnymede) you need 6/200/8. that means 200mb system partition, 6 boot partition and 8 cache partition. AND A 1GB SD-EXT
And for the second one you need 5/155/5. which means 155mb system partition and 5 megs for both cache and boot. AND YOU NEED 1GB SD-EXT.
Neither of these ROMs will run under a 400mb system partition ~!
And remember, always wash your hands and wipe your phone/sd before attempting another rom

If you're using the old method, then look for a file called config.cfg, edit that using any file editor.
But if you're using the NAND Toolkit, you can edit them by selecting the desired partition from the panels on the left or the right, depending on your bootloader, and the cache is just right below those panels.

after installing everything my HTC HD2 is stuck at
123456
go go go
I feel so helpless now. .
also what are the ROMs that can be installed to Nand without SDcard like via Mag
how do I know which partition size (like 150 or 200 or 250, or is it any size bigger than the installed andriod rom will do?) is required by the various Roms?
Thanks
Android load at 11800000
from NAND
yaffs2 part is /system
Load zImage
Load initrd.gz
[K]11808000:224ac0 12200000:281E6C
Load done!
123456
Go Go Go!
another thing to mention
tried to install WP7 using the same way
loaded successfully to the welcome screen
then when i touch screen to go on
it doesn't recognize that i did touched the screen
when i press the hard keys like volume or power
it's working
so what is wrong ?
presuming you have flashed magldr correctly and have your radio and hspl up to date, i think it has to be the partition isze. it differs with various roms. the developer would have definitely stated the minimum or recommended size for your partition. you can change it by editing the values in the flash.cfg file in the recovery zip file. what rom are you using.maybe i can point out the size to you...
it happened to me when I was first flashing a rom. As kawshigan said it must be the partition size. Use this for flashing Recovery
Code:
misc ya 1M
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 135M
cache ya 44M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
it boots up almost all the ROMS without a change. Good luck
i am too confused over what rom
can u point to one that uses DAF to install as Clockworkmod option dun appear
any thing that is v2.3 and above is fine, can u recommend me one?
