I have flashed several roms using CLW already and it always worked fine, but now I'm really stuck.
The problem is that I installed the Hyperdroid CM7 rom. It worked fine. But when I wanted to install the Google Apps I just couldn't get into the recovery mode from the MAGLDR menue anymore. It just says "ERROR ERROR: Cannot read ramdisk image". I tried to update the CLW using the Rom Manager but it didn't solve my problem. Unfortunatelly I also can't boot the rom anymore now (I can't since I formated the SD card).
Can I now just install CLW again (over the existing version) with the "USB Flasher" option from the boot menue? Or can I repair the installed version somehow?
Is there a way of installing CLW under Linux? I've tried using WINE to run the daf.exe but it didn't work since it couldn't find the the usb connection.
Which would be the preffered method of installing roms NAND roms with Linux?
Thanks for any help in advance!

ROM Manager isn't compatible with MAGLDR, which is probably why your phone was messed up when you tried to use it. It only works if you use the cLK bootloader. As for your problem, I really can't see much else you can do other than fresh installing CWM through USB Flasher. I don't use Linux so I can't help you there, sorry.
Oh, I wasn't aware that MAGDLR isn't compatible with the ROM manager because it came with the MAGDRL/CWM rom i flashed. But thanks for that information!
Can I just install CWM "over" the allready installed but not existing version? Or will that cause even mor eproblems?

I think that would be fine, there isn't much point in Task29ing unless you are having major issues.
Ok,so since I couldn't get hold of a windows PC yet I couldn't re-install clockwork flashing with USB cabel.
But I couldn't load CWM recovery from SD card as described in this post #4 of this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352395
I was not able install the CWM then in the second step form zip file on the SD card. Some error message appeared, but I was able to flash a ROM. So my CWM is still broken, but the ROM is working fine which is ok for me now. When I get access to a Windows PC I'll re-flash CWM too.
So the "Linux problem" isn't solved but anyone experiencing problems to get into recovery from MAGDRLR menu should try the way in the above mentioned post.

Glad to hear it You aren't putting CWM 5.0.2.6 SD as a zip on your SD card by any chance are you? Because you need to extract it to your SD, I misread it first time around and was quite confused as to how that worked as a .zip file.

after I flash with CWM, I get this when it trys to boot android "nand kernel open failed"
Also, in CWM, I get "E:Can't find misc"
installing nand without CWM works.
bump- I searched and didn't find anything helpful. I've tried 3 different roms
"Can't find misc" should only appear if you don't have a misc partition in NAND. (which is created when flashing CWM)
And nand kernel open failure probably means theres no zImage or initrd.gz in the boot partition.
Try flashing CWM from the CWM thread and then a ROM.

How did you transfer the zip file to SD? Did you use magldr? If so try re-transfering using your comp, as Magldr sometimes corrupts them.

Typhoon doesn't use 250mb CWM, use the one provided with rom 150MB System/5MB Cache (ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.5), most "nand kernel open failed" are down to wrong CWM size
I'm getting the same error, but only with sense 3.0 roms. Any other roms I've used have installed have worked. Is there a certain step I'm missing with installing sense 3.0 roms? I'm using MAGLDR v1.13 and Clockwork Recovery Mod v3.0.2.5. I flashed recovery_150m_cache_5m.zip onto the phone using magldr usb flasher. Any ideas?

150mb for sense rom is definitely to low!
Read the rom's thread carefully guys!
It says there what CWR partition is needed.
Sense roms need SD CARD PARTITION so read the thread (it's first page).
If you have read it and your CWR partition looks exactly as it was given in the rom's thread then do task29, hspl, magldr 1.13 and CWR.
If it still doesn't work try different roms or try CLK.
Thanks for the response. How do I create a 5/240/5 partition through CWR? The last partition I made was just installed through .zip on CWR. Sorry for the questions, new to the hd2.
do all beginners understand this? you are probably putting the 'clk' version of the rom in your storage card for installation. you need the 'magdlr' version of the rom for clockwork mod to correctly install android

Hi guys, i had the same problem, and i figured maybe i can show u what i did, to help u.
i went to THIS thread and followed the instructions:
"Installation Guide for MAGLDR 1.13"
the error occured right after i flashed the MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery_v3.2.0.0_for_NexusHD2_135M.zip onto my HTC HD2.
the only thing i had to do was enter magldr boot menu (hold off button while booting)
then i choose AD RECOVERY
CWM started up and i choose install zip from SD card
ofcourse i have placed NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.0_NAND_(Android-2.3.5).zip onto the ROOT of my SD card previously.
the .zip file installed perfectly and then i rebooted my phone.
all was ok after that..
hope this helps!

No we do not, thank you, this helped.
I have a european HTC HD2 running MAGLDR 1.3 and I cannot install Clockworkmod under any circumstances. I've been running MDJ's Cyanogenmod 7 for weeks now and have the correct radio and hspl, but every time I attempt to flash clockwork I get a message saying NAND kernel open failed when I try to boot AD Recovery. I've tried both the NAND boot and the old style SD boot with no luck whatsoever. I'm now totally stumped and unable to get any of the new ROMS. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Can you give us the exact steps you have taken?
This way we can see if you missed something.
Thanks for the response,
Installed radio and hspl, then magldr 1.11 (this is the setup I'd been using for a while). Today I tried to install clockworkmod so I upgraded to magldr 1.13 at the tri color screen. That seemed to work fine, all the functions working perfectly. I then downloaded cwm 1.3 150mb and tried to install (USB flash, ran as admin etc.) The install seemed to go alright but when I tried to boot into recovery I got the error message. I ran into the same problem using the method where you put files on the SD first and using the script to install magldr 1.13 and cwm one after the other.
i had problems with cwm 150 installer. i ended up getting the 250 meg version, and editinf flash.cfg, worked first time.
Did you use AD SD or AD Recovery (option 8 )?
AD Recovery is the one to use.

I've used both and neither worked, they both result in nand kernel open failed. Its unable to find initrd or the other file no matter what i do.
Sounds like the file recovery.raw (or is it recovery.img, i forget) didn't get flashed, please confirm there is a recovery image included with the cwm files you are installing, and also please paste us the contents of your flash.cfg. file.
Try flashing 400mb clockwork mod.most roms require this mod and it does work

I got it to work by using the 250mb version with edited flash file! Thanks a lot for all the help.

Wow I cant believe this worked. You have 2 recoveries, MAGLDR and CLK. So one would think you use the CLK rom with the CLK recovery, and the MAG rom with the MAG recover.
NOPE!!
You use MAG rom on CLK recovery. Jesus christ I spent 3 hours on this.
Hi
I have a big problem and don't know what is wrong
I was using ultimate droid on nand on my hd2,than i decided to flash shiftpda rom v33 from boyPPC and the problems started. i installed it from my sd card using cwm and when phone rebooted first time magldr said something about missing kernel file. then i tried to flash it again,did task 29 several times,installed magldr and everything again. but it kept saying about missing kernel file. and when i try to install it again cwm says 'installation aborted'. so i decided to flash it from pc with daf.exe. installation was successfull,but phone just reboots over and over again... looks like it will never stop rebooting. dont know what to do please help...
can it be due to wrong radio?

Can you explain the exact steps you made to install this Rom?
well i will explain what am i'm doing right now. i run task 29 and installed radio 2.15.50.14. after that i installed mgldr 1.13. and on mgldr booting screen it said "sd open kernel failed". after that mgldr menu appears. then i choose usb flasher and install rom from the computer. it says installation successful and phone reboots. after that i see mgldr booting screen and everything looks just fine,then i see HTC screen and phone reboots again...and again and again and again. if i will just put the phone on the table it will just keep rebooting forever ((( am i doing anything wrong? i shouldnt because its not the first rom i am installing...and what does that "sd open kernel failed" message mean??? (
1) First of all, boot into MAGLDR and go to services (option 10). Go to boot settings, Boot source and make sure Android from Nand is selected.
2) Unzip the Boyppc v33 package on your computer and install his CWR DAF package that is included with the rom (The boot loops could be due to having the wrong CWR partition)
3) Load CWR and manually wipe data/factory reset, Go into advanced and wipe Dalvik Cache. Once this is done try and reinstall the V33 zip that you said you had already copied to your SD card. Hope this solves the problem
I've had the same problem twice now. "sd open kernel failed" i believe is shown in red correct? all i did to fix it was reflash MAGLDR & Clockworkmod Recovery then reflash the ROM.
i wish i knew why it happened but its always when im going from 1 ROM to the next & not just restarting my phone up. im thinking maybe it was just a bad flash or something but the steps above has fixed it for me now both times.
try to install recovery and intall a ron throught ur sd card ... rom that r instaleed from daf r pretty simple but maybe the rom was corrumpted during the download or there's a missing file that's not flashed to ur phone ... i suggest to install recovery and to copy ur rom to sd ...it's much simple than the first way
I am STUCK in an annoying situation, which leads me to ask if it's possible to flash CWR (as in the recovery itself) without plugging into the PC.
Why, you ask? Here's the situation (in sorta chronological sequence):
MAGLDR installed and working fine
USB port totally screwed (repaired twice, no avail)
Been flashing ROMs through AD Recovery (CWR) with no problems
Downloaded ROM Manager and clicked on the 'Flash Clockwork Recovery' and chose HTC HD2(nowhere in the frickin' app does it say it only works with cLK and not MAGLDR)
Now whenever I try to boot into AD Recovery through MAGLDR, I get an error 'Invalid Header something'
So, thanks to ROM Manager for stuffing up my CW Recovery, I can't flash any ROMs. MAGLDR still works fine and I can use my current ROM, but i'm totally stuck.
I don't like starting a new thread and begging for help, but i've searched everywhere and i'm running out of ideas.
If anyone has any ideas on how to get back to flashing without the USB, I would most definitely be appreciative.

Dudes, genius, just genius.. Never thought of that.. Thanks man, finally had my flash fix, the withdrawals were starting to come on pretty bad..
The only thing is not being able to flash the nand recovery from the sd booted recovery, but no biggy, just leave the files for the sd boot and problem solved.. Really appreciate it amigos..
