Doesn't reboot into recovery - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I installed ROM manager, then tried to back up my HD. It requested I install clockworkmod, but the installation hung. The second attempt was successful, but I cannot reboot into recovery mode. It just reboots normally. If I power on holding the power button it goes into the MAGLDR menu. If I select AD Recover it says:
ANDROID LOAD RAW
ERROR: ERROR: Cannot read ramdisk image
How can I get clockworkmod working without wiping my device?
Thanks

You corrupted the recovery partition by using rom manager,, it doesn't work with magldr.
Find the clockwork thread with "yes/no " in the title, from there get both the SD version and the cwm version ,,put the cwm.zip onto the SD, and also unzip the SD version to the root of SD, then into magldr, "boot ad SD" to start the SD version of cwm then use that to "flash zip from SD"(just like a normal flash) and select the cwm.zip. this will reflash the ad recovery nand partition without affecting the rom

Thanks, I understand. Is it not worth installing ROM manager at al then if I'm running magldr?
I originally installed/paritioned using the DAF.exe version of CLK 150MB 44MB cache. The ROM only requires 150MB 2MB cache. Am I loosing out on space with this size cache. Partitioning using HD2 Toolkit doesn't work on my device. magldr or clk doesn't boot properly afterwards.
Thanks

The cache is only used by cwm, so yea, 44 is way plenty. I normally give it 5.

Just found out I can change flash.cfg for DAF.exe. That helps a lot! All working and backed up now. So I'll go for a repartition. The helps greatly appreciated!

You have to partition your SD card (gparted/ubuntu...)
1st: fat32 put the rom-zip into the root of this partition
2nd: ext4 1GB
3rd: ext4 400MB
4th: linux swap
Install CWR via MAGLDR like flashing a NAND rom (DAF etc...)
reboot, enter MAGLDR and goto boot AD SD - now U enter CWR
and then follow the steps as mentioned in the rom thread. (chose ZIP dfrom SD card... install... reboot...)
Good luck
It´s quite easy.
The above post will work UNLESS you use one of the cwm 1.3 partitions. Using cwm 1.3 puts the recovery files on NAND (so no need to copy files to the root of your sd card for recovery to work. In order to boot into Recovery you need to select AD Recovery instead of Boot AD SD

[Q] AD RECOVERY fails after flashing CWM

Dear Friends,
I usually flash ZIP Android using CWM, through menu no.8 in MAGLDR menu. CMW was flashed via USB Flasher menu no.5 in MGLDR menu.
But after several times of failures, I gave up. I hope somebody can inform me what went wrong.
Here is the issue:
After flashing CWM (partition layout) and try to go into recovery mode, the screen says:
"ANDROID LOAD RAW
ERROR: ERROR: Cannot read kernel image"
I tried so many attempts but always like that. I did task 29, reflashing MAGLDR, radio, I even tried to go back to Winmo and back again to reflash HSPL 2.08 and so on. But no luck
I remember that this happen after I tried flashing CWM using SD Card method (via menu no.2 in MAGLDR). If I used this method, I can go into recovery mode. I dont like this method, because I never succeeded flashing ZIP ANdroid using this method. That is why I want to go back to recovery mode via menu no.8 in MAGLDR.
Is the problem related with what i did (flashing CWM via SD Card method)? Is the NAND is damaged?
Is there a way to solve that?
Many thanks in advance

Which one? is it the one with CWM partitioner lay out?
This one was flashed when I tried to flash: Ultimate Droid v.3.1.1.v2:
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 150M
cache ya 30M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
And this one is the standard one with 150MB lay out:
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 150M
cache ya 44M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
I used either one as per instruction in the relevant thread
hmm, and there is deffinitely a file called recovery-raw.img in the same folder? do you get any error messages on the phone screen when you flash the cwm layout?

Yes. Never happened before until I flashed cwm using ad method as explained in the following:

After flashed Recovery via AD SD boot, I flashed the ROM. But it won't boot. So, I decided to reflashed Recovery via USB FLasher (of course I did task 29, flash MAGLDR again).
After that, I went into MAGLDR menu and selected no.8 (AD Recovery). And, it wont boot to Recovery. It says ERROR cannot read kernel image.
My point is that I want to flash ROM via CWM (this CWM was flashed via USB Flasher), but the CWM itself failed to boot (after successful flashing).
I dont have problem boot into CWM if it is flashed via AD BOOT (menu no.2 in MAGLDR) and I cant flash the ROM (though the ROM fails to boot).
Any idea?
ive not used that edited/tweaked cwm, but two things come to mind.
First off, latest magldr required, check? (im not scrolling back to read, so sorry if you already said that)
and secondly, from teh error you are getting, it can only be that somewhere, (possibly when you are restoring from a backup taken when there was no recovery partition?) you are either wiping the recovery partition, or you arent loading back the contents of the recovery partition.

Yes Magldr 1.13. I didn't restore any nandroid backup. How can I restore if recovery failed to boot?
It seem this tweaked cwm did/wrote something In the NAND that cannot be erased by task 29 or by flashing stock rom. I stiil can bot recovery through AD boot (menu no.2 in magldr) the tweaked recovery show version 3.0.1.9. Maybe I
should try mtty?
think id concentrate on getting back to winmo stock with an sd card flash, wipe the lot and start over yet again.
As far as I remember, after you flash magdlr 1.13 you need to flash CWM to get the menu point 8 (ad recovery) working. Magdlr 1.13 itself doesn't have the CWM built in, but it supports CWM.

Like I said, I did start it all over again
But, still it didnt help. That is why I am beginning to think that task 29 does not erase all NAND or else there is a damaged/defect in the physical NAND. Should I try use MTTY?

Yes I know. There are 3 methods (as I know from XDA ) to boot Recovery Clockword Mode (CWM). Firstly, flashing via USB Flasher (menu no.5) and after flashing, we should select menu no.8 to go into CWM mode (this one is the issue I am talking about), secondly, flashing via AD Boot (menu no.2), it will directly bring you into the CWM menu, and thirdly, using cLK (which I never try it).
I just wanted to try the second method and it works. However, due to the partition lay out issue (as far as I am concerned, the second method doesnt provide flexibility in providing partition lay out. it uses 150MB lay out). So, for the ROM requires different partition layout, I need to flash CWM in accordance with the relevant ROM requirement. This can only be done if we flash CWM via First method. When I flash CWM (for different partition lay out), it seems flashing successful , but when I selected menu no.8 to go into CWM mode it then says: "Error, cannot read kernel image".
Up to now, I can only boot CWM using second method. I just hope the dev of this method can provide a way to flash different partition lay out or did I miss something?
thanks
does this occur with the standard content of raiderx' recovery download, for example the 400m layout...? you can try to edit the "recovery" line inside flash.cfg: remove "filesize" and instead type "6M", so it shows
...
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr 6M recovery-raw.img
...
maybe there are bad blocks on NAND (which is normal, especially after excessive flashing, which is native to us hd2 users due to the mass of roms available for it ) which are causing this.
alternatively you can try to first delete the original "recovery-raw.img" inside the original raiderx recovery folder and then copy the new one; or to use another windows machine (or harddrive in your computer, if exist). maybe there is sth wrong...?
if all you've tried already and other tipps isn't / aren't working, it would be interesting to know if this occurs if you're using cLK; pure testing purpose
i hope you'll get this running... the sd method is no solution in my opinion.

Thank Bro, I will try your suggestion and let u know the result.
I also guess there is something wrong with the NAND, maybe the cluster, block, etc. Maybe need to be defragmented (is there any app for doing that?)
I use standar 150MB partion layout from Raider x and also 135MB layout for flashing Typhoon Cyanogenmod.
I still can flash using DAF, but since there is only few ROM for this method, then I would prefer to go through via CWM
thanks again
sure, no problem! one additional question: this really started out since you've used the sdcard files?
cwm is essential and really needed, especially as the most of chefs doesn't provide DAF ROMs anymore. you want to flash typhoon cm7, right? if nothing is working for you, i'll create a daf version for you, so that you at least can use this ROM. just let me know.

Yes, since I tried the SD card CWM (no offense Bro )
You are right, CWM is app you cant live without it if you are an Android lover
I highly appreciate if you can provide DAF version. I only knows how to convert from ZIP to DAF but not the other way round
Many thanks
k, i will create it todays evening ~ 20:00 gmt+1; but first, pls try to test the other tipps (6M for adding "some spare blocks" and if nothing helps cLK pls).
i'll pm you if i'm ready ok?
i have to do it tomorrow; today i've painted the livingroom of a friend and didn't go home. that's ok? or is there sth new on your side? did you test cLK?
greetings

No need to push yourself mate I am patient enough to learn
For installing cLK, I will do it later because I have to learn it since I am not familiar with it (or else if you have or know tutorial for newbie, i would go for it)
I will start with flashing with Recovery with 150MB layout provided by Raider x. Currently I am using Winmo with HSPL 4.
Here is what I will do:
1. Turn of the phone.
2. Go into bootloader mode
3. Task 29
4. Flashing HSPL 2.08
5. Flashing MAGLDR 1.13
6. Flashing CWM 150MB via USB Flasher in MAGLDR menu no.5
7. Boot into Recovery Mode via MGLDR menu no.8
This is the point where i got the problem. If it works, then I can go into Recovery mode to install ZIP ROM , but if fails then it will say Error: cannot read kernel image and it will bring me back to MAGLDR screen.
EDIT:
After flashing MAGLDR 1.13, the phone reboot and I unplugged the usb cable.
It booted and the screen says:
"Booting Android from SD
Android load at 11800000
from Micro SD
Load zimage
k: / zimage
ssSD kernel open failed"
then it brought me to MAGLDR screen menu.
I thought it is normal, isnt it?
then I flash CWM using USB flasher via menu no.5
After flashing CWM complete, the phone reboot and again it showed the above screen and finally went back into MAGLDR screen.
Here is the same old problem. In MAGLDR screen, I selected menu no.8 in order to boot the Recovery mode.
But it failed and the screen says:
"LOAD ANDROID RAW
ERROR: ERROR: cannot read kernel image"
So, it happens again.
Before I continue with the next trial, I wanna hear your opinion about that.
BTW, the winmo before I started this, is ENERGY ROM.
PC I used is WIN XP SP2.
Battery is full, SIM CArd was in but Micro SD was removed.
Do you think I miss something?
Thanks in advance

[Q] Can i repair cwm recovery?

Hello,
Ive magldr cwm recovery installed, and a magldr NAND rom.
Yesterday i tried to play with rom manager.
I didnt know it only work with clk, and i made the mistake to update recovery throug rom manager.
So it broke my MAGLDR cwm recovery :-(
My question is : can i repair my MAGLDR cwm recovery without wiping my rom?(because i didnt recently do a nandroid backup)
Thx for your help.
Unfortunately, no you can't.
The only way to fix your cwm is to re install cwm. And that will wipe off your rom, data and everything else.
Edit:
wow, i never knew about that !

We are just writing an image to the already created recovery partition,, not using daf to write a partition layout. It's just like flashing a rom, but only the recovery partition is affected.
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 (3.93 MB, 1153 views)
and
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip (4.25 MB, 3415 views)
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.
it worked
thank you for your help and your very precise explanations
welcome. Its worth leaving those two files on the SD in case recovery fails for whatever reason, since you can backup and restore just like in nand cwm recovery.

Perhaps the recovery partition is too small? Perhaps you don't have a recovery partition? Check the flash.cfg you last used for partition sizes you used.
Alternatively, use the SD cwm to make a backup and do a fresh flash.

CWM Backup help needed

Hey,
(I currently use Hyperdroid ROM on my HD2 and since my WIFI connection to the router isnt working since yesterday i wanted to install a new ROM)
I already tried to do a Backup once, but it didn't work.
To create a complete backup of the phone I need to get into CWM. Normally you get there thrue ROM Manager or by "AD Recovery" in the Boot Loader.
For some reason both dont work. even though in installed CWM 3.1.0.0 with Rom Manager.
Last time I tried to do a Backup i flashed CWM in the bootloader, since it wouldn't start - not knowing i wasn't able to boot Android anymore.
Now my question: Where is my mistake? Do I need a certain file on my SD Card that i deleted mistakingly?
I hope my problem is understandable.
Thanks in advance

Why did you flash CWM through Rom Manager rather than using the Daf.exe which comes with the CWM package or the HD2 NAND toolkit? If I am not mistaken, Rom Manager and MAGLDR are not compatible (by which I mean flashing CWM through Rom Manager).
If you just want to install apps, use Titanium Backup from the Android Market, it's free and does the job well.

[Q] **** Solved **** Cannot install Nand Roms....

:victory:****** Solved *******
Hi, thank you for all of your help and assistance.
It was all down to selecting the correct partitions (and me getting over enthusiastic in flashing roms and not reading FULLY on how and what partitions are required)
I have used HD2 Nand toolkit, and partitioned MAGLDR, then partitioned SD card within Clockworkmod.
Thank you all again for pointing me in the right direction...
Good Evening All,
I am sorry if this has been covered. I have searched the forums but cannot find an answer.
I have read all the FAQ and How-to's.
I am not an exact newbie, I have owned a HD2 before (about 2 years ago) and could install all sorts of different roms (including NAND)
I have Installed my Radio 2.15.50.14
I have installed HARD SPL 2.08
I have Installed MAGdlr 1.13
I ahve installed clockwork mod recovery 1.3 with 400M
Copied rom to root of SD Nexus HD2 jellybean v1.2 [dataonext]
and I have installed Nexus HD2 jellybean v1.2 [dataonext]
this installed fine,
I then decided to try another,
I downloaded QSEA_JB-MUSIC EDITION_V1 and placed on root of SD,
I booted into Magldr, then into clockwork mod
from here i wipe data, and factory reset,
wipe cache partition
and wiped delvic cache.
Then i install zip from sd card QSEA_JB-MUSIC EDITION_V1
when this is done,
It asks me to reboot,
Then it stays on the boot screen, and the rom does not load.....
I can restore the back up from the original rom install. but whatever rom I install (from Nand rom downloads) none of them install...
Please help...

Good Evening All,
I am sorry if this has been covered. I have searched the forums but cannot find an answer.
I have read all the FAQ and How-to's.
I am not an exact newbie, I have owned a HD2 before (about 2 years ago) and could install all sorts of different roms (including NAND)
I have Installed my Radio 2.15.50.14
I have installed HARD SPL 2.08
I have Installed MAGdlr 1.13
I ahve installed clockwork mod recovery 1.3 with 400M
Copied rom to root of SD Nexus HD2 jellybean v1.2 [dataonext]
and I have installed Nexus HD2 jellybean v1.2 [dataonext]
this installed fine,
I then decided to try another,
I downloaded QSEA_JB-MUSIC EDITION_V1 and placed on root of SD,
I booted into Magldr, then into clockwork mod
from here i wipe data, and factory reset,
wipe cache partition
and wiped delvic cache.
Then i install zip from sd card QSEA_JB-MUSIC EDITION_V1
when this is done,
It asks me to reboot,
Then it stays on the boot screen, and the rom does not load.....
I can restore the back up from the original rom install. but whatever rom I install (from Nand rom downloads) none of them install...
Please help...

1-Why? Use the HD2 NAND Toolkit to partition your system according to the developer.
2- Never reboot directly from the "reboot now" option of amarullz's installer. Instead, uncheck the "reboot now" option, click finish and reboot manually from CWM.
(The reboot option somehow makes your rom not boot, at least that happens to me every time)

Thanks,
I will give it a go!
Have already downloaded toolkit, and just watching the video on how to use...
Matt:fingers-crossed:
So, do I just use Magldr to partition and don't install CWM?
I tried to re-partition with CWM, but lost magldr.....
What am I doing wrong?
Still cannot install NAND rom.
Going to do Task 29 again, where from there??
Thanks for your help and patience...
try the links below, it might help

I don't use magldr, so I am not sure.
But I think you have to "MAGLDR recovery update" first, and then after it finishes you have to "magdlr repartition". Im not sure though.
How do I just install clockwork mod? Without using Magldr?
If I Task29 first,
What's my next step.....?
After Task29 (don't do task29 again) you have to do the following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25781675#post25781675 until you see the "recovery" .. from there, dont continue to flashing wp7, just put your rom on your sd and flash it from recovery. (don't forget to thank the the one who made the thread/guide)
Don't forget to NOT use 300mb, but use the one written on your rom's thread.

You can't have CWM without MAGLDR. If you've flashed CWM you shouldn't have lost MAGLDR at all, so I don't know what you did wrong. Task 29s are also almost always useless and unnecessary, if a guide says 'task 29' as the first step then usually you can just skip that part. I find that the best guide is the one in my sig, try it out.
