[Q] Flashing Clockworkmod on MAGLDR 1.13

Hi All,
I've been looking for an answer and have not found one yet.
I have an existing NAND build (MDJ cyanogen 7) of android that I flashed via magldr 1.11. I know I can update magldr to 1.13 safely without messing deleting the the nand rom i have already. But if I want to install Clockworkmod 1.3 onto the nand will I lose my existing rom need to reflash my rom again or does magldr know to flash clockworkmod onto another area of nand that wont overwrite my existing rom?
also with clockworkmod it says:
Download recovery with partition size for the type of rom you plan on using, see guide below if unsure.
it says to use the 150MB partition just wanted to see if anyone else using mdj's cyanogen 7 is using the same thing?
Your help is greatly appreciated

Yes you will lose your current rom, so do a cwm backup first. After flashing the partition for cwm, you will get a kernel error on first boot, so boot into AD Recovery and restore the boot, system and data backups and all is back to normal. As for the partition size, use the same size as you did for the sd version. The guide suggests a 400mb partition for an unsquashed desire hd build, but I used the 250mb partition on my current rom and all is perfect.
PS! Please don't post questions in the ROM Dev section, there's a reason why there is a Q&A section.

Its so frustrating, why on earth would anybody post a question topic in here when we have dedicated Q&A forum??
It should be obvious to anybody that this is a "dev" forum for posting developments not for asking questions.

Since the rom was originally flashed via DAF, will CWM still allow me to do a backup?
Was hoping for a guide, it's so confusing.

No, from what I understand you don't have CWM installed yet, so you can't use it now. Use titanium backup (market), and then flash cwm so you can use it in the future.

It seems confusing at first but it is not really that difficult.

Correct, on first flash of cwm it will erase all data/roms etc on NAND. You will not be able to backup the rom if it was initially flashed via daf. As StephanV says, use Titanium Backup or MyBackup Root to back up your data/apps etc and you can restore them after.
Once you have cwm installed and have flashed a new rom and set it all up, then you can do a cwm backup.

So if i use cwm then I can only flash zip based roms from that point on? I cant use the daf ones anymore then.

You can still use daf, but each time you run a daf file it will remove the cwm recovery partition and you will need to reflash it to use cwm again.

I'm finding that if i flash cwm ontop of a daf rom the rom becomes unbootable. and the only way to get it to work again is use a cwm version of the rom.

i'm not sure about the rom you are using but i was able to back up a few different roms with cwm which i installed using daf. this is what i did:
1. create a folder on sdcard name "cwm" (you can name it whatever you want). i actually have a folder for each clockwork recovery version.
2. put the zImage and initrd.gz for cwm (version 1.0,1.1,or 1.2) in the folder you just created. (do not flash anything at this point)
3. boot into magldr and go to services, boot settings, ad sd dir and select the directory you just created
4. now in magldr menu boot ad sd, and you should hopefully boot into clockwork
5. go to backup and restore and backup your rom. if you try cwm 1.2 and it doesn't work try 1.0 to back it up, you can then update to 1.2 again and it will still restore just fine.
6. before restoring your rom, install cwm1.3 and choose a partition size bigger than the size of the system.img of the rom that you backed up. clockwork backs up your rom in your sdcard->clockworkmod->backup. it creates a folder with the timestamp.
7. now you can follow the steps from the clockworkmod thread to load cwm1.3 and restore from there.

dont bother 'installing' clockwork, just put the two files on your sd card, then go into your MDJcyanogen rom folder on the PC, open (in notepad) flash.cfg and it will look something like
boot ya|boot|ro filesize+1M boot.img
misc ya 1M
recovery ya|ro 3M
cache ya 3M
system ya filesize system.img
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
the partitions 'recovery' and 'misc' will allow cwm to work, they arent needed for this rom, they are only there for compatibility however if you plan on flashing to a different rom using sd card/cwm, (rather than simply using cwm to do backups of MDJcyanogen) you will want to edit the
system ya filesize system.img
and maybe set it to one of teh recommended cwm sizes, example
system ya 150M
this is because the original line
system ya filesize system.img
will set a system partition of the same size as the MDJcyanogen system.img, (about 130meg) but if your next rom has a bigger system.img, when you try load it from cwm it wont fit, so wont work. by setting it to 150 (or whatever you want) you are allowing for different size system.img in various roms.
Whenever you flash a nand rom, so long as you edit the flash.cfg and make sure those two partitions, misc and recovery (and maybe cache too, i do) are there, then cwm will work.

[Q] help!!!!!! with CWM

please excuse my terms as im still not upto date with the language used when talking about this subject im a complete newbee but eager to learn
ive got a hd2 and ive be playng about for a couple of weeks ive managed to flash NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.1 NAND [App2SD+][720p][Kernel: tytung_r2_oldcam] onto and it works great however im still unsure on a couple of items
what is CWM ?
how do i install CWM ?
do i need CWM ?
do i already possess it with above NAND ?
how do i change from one nand to another without losing contacts, pictures etc?
thanks for your time
thumbtoro

This thread will answer your questions, but...
CWM is the means by which you can flash a ROM, backup your existing ROM with all your data and settings, or restore your ROM (with data and settings) if you mess things up or want to go back.
You don't need CWM but it is now increasingly common for chefs to release their builds as CWM flashable .zip files.
If you have a MAGLDR version before 1.13, you needed to flash CWM to use it. MAGLDR 1.13 has a feature called 'AD Recovery' which means you no longer need to flash CWM seperately (it is included). However, sometimes a chef's build requires that you flash a different partition to enable his build to work.
Always read the chef's instructions carefully.
Like I said at the top, the link I provided and the other Stickies included in the HD2 Android NAND section have all the information you need. Just take your time reading them (more than once).
PS Never apologise for asking a question. That is how we all learn (well, that and by reading stickies )

Thanks for your help one more question. When I press ad recovery it says no boot source and won't let me do anything any ideas

In which case your build uses the traditional CWM recovery method. This requires you to have the initrd.gz and zimage files on the root of your SD card to boot into CWM revoery.
You normally use either AD Recovery or CWM reovery. Which you use depends on your original method of flashing your Android build. If you can't remember, see the instructions from the post where you downloaded the ROM.

If he is using magldr 1.13 and cwm 1.3, you don't need to copy initrd.gz and zimage on the root of you sd. Just follow the instructions in cwm and magldr threads.

[A] Bootloop after flashing a ROM via 3.0.0.5 Recovery image.

What you did .. .. ..
Okay so you've rooted your newly bought MyTouch4G, and you've made sure that s=off and you've flashed Clockwork ROM manager's recovery image that you got from the market. That is all the correct order. But when you flashed a ROM you got stuck in a bootloop.
Am i screwed???
Don't worry you are just in a "soft brick mode", or "limp mode" if you will.
What happened? Why is it doing this?
The Image that you downloaded and installed 3.0.0.5 is for 2.3 (Gingerbread) based ROMs only. [n3rd note] these are ext4 style ROMS. They act and store information differently than 2.2 which are Ext3 ROMs[/n3rd note].
This could also be caused by trying to flash a 2.3 using a older 2.x.x.x version of the Recovery Image. Those will only support the Ext3 style ROMs, which are FroYo (2.2) based ROM.
Okay what do i need to do to fix it, there are two methods.
This is Method one it's the older version.
You must use this method if you do not have the engineering screen
If you are using the 3.0.0.5 Recovery image
To fix your problem you need to flash any 2.3 based ROM, for time sake i will recommend Cyanogen(mod). Link to Cyanogen(mod)'s CM7RC4. While you are there you need to also store the G/Apps.
If you are using the 2.x.x.x Recovery Image
To fix your problem you need to flash any 2.2 based ROM, for time sake i will recommend RoyalGlacier Thread can be found here
- Question: How do i find out what Recovery image i am using
- Answer: Boot the phone into the recovery mode. We'll touch on that in a little bit
Now when you download both of those files you also need to store them to SDCard.
NOTE: If you are using 2.x.x.x and going to flash RoyalGlacier you will not need the g/apps. They have included this in their ROM, and MAKE sure to follow their specific directions for installing the ROM.
- Question: Now how in the world i am going to do that since my phone is in bootloop.
Answer:
Two ways one can do that
1) use a SDcard reader and just plug the card into a main USB port.
2) Mount the SDCard in the phone via the Recovery Image. *** i'd recommend this method since you are going to need to be in recovery anyway ***
Pull the battery from the phone an put it back in, then put the back on the phone. turn the phone on holding the power button along with the volume down rocker button. That will boot the phone into the HBoot (Engineering) Screen. From there you will see an option that says "recovery" [this is what i mentioned earlier, about the different versions] use the volume rocker to select it, then tap the power button to select it. The phone will reboot into what is called the recovery image. From there you will select "mount" then USB. That will mount the SDCard to the Computer.
If you are using the 3.0.0.5 Recovery image
Once you have move Cyanogen(mod) and the g/apps to the SD card unmount the SDCard.
Then navigate to "wipe data/factory reset" you will want to wipe the phone. That will format everything to a fashion that can be written over w/o problems.
Then navigate to "install .zip from sdcard" > " choose .zip " > then flash the main Cyanogen(mod) ROM. Then do the same but flash the g/apps that you downloaded.
Once those are done you can re-boot the phone. That will boot you into cyanogen.
If you are using the 2.x.x.x Recovery image
Please use the link i supplied above to get that ROM up and running once it is done, according to their instructions come back here.
Now i understand that may or may not want Cyanogen nor RoyalGlacier on your phone. Well take care of that
What can i do to prevent this from Happening again?
Once you are up and running (make sure to log into your Google Account) go to the market and download Clockwork ROM manager again, and re-flash the recovery image.
Once you are done with that i HIGHLY suggest upgrading to the newest 3.0.0.6 Recovery image. You can do that one of two ways.
one way is to flash True_Blues method for installing 3.0.0.6 recovery image. Use this thread..
This is the way that i would personally recommend.
The second way is download the 3.0.0.6 recovery image, which i've attached and flash it via the ADB commands. If you want to do it this way you do not need to download Clockwork Rom Manager, you can "just flash it". If you need help with that, if you are using Windows or Mac, see my signature for True_Blue's method on EZ ADB. If you are using Unbutu 10.10 use this This Method to get ADB running. This is the method i used to ADB running on my Linux NetBook.
Download the file that i've attached and store just the recovery image from the .zip to the SDCard, from the ADB commands type
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
More information on this process can be found here
That will flash the newest recovery image to your phone
Once you have installed the 3.0.0.6 ROM Manager you can wipe and flash ANY MyTouch4G ROM that you want. It will handle both 2.2 (ext3) and 2.3 (ext4) ROM formats.
This is the New Method - Which is a little easier.
AND YOU MUST HAVE THE ENGINEERING HBOOT
Thanks to TeeJay for inspiring this.
I am going to assume that since you have the Engineering Screen you are more familiar with what you are doing so i'll be more to the point with this walk-through.
you will need to have ADB up and running for this method.
1) Download the attached file and store just the .img to your folder from which you preform all of your ADB commands
2) plug the phone into the computer
3) boot the phone into HBoot
4) from the ADB commands change the drive to the folder where you stored the recovery image.
5) type these commands
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
the screen should say something to the degree of
Code:
sending 'recovery' (3426 KB)... OKAY [ 1.172s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.797s]
finished. total time: 1.969s
6) then select "bootloader"
7) navigate to "reboot recovery"
8) flash your ROM of choice.
9) enjoy your ROM of choice.

THE RECOVERY IMAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED TO THE NEWEST ONE.

good summary. originally when i flashed cm7 I had to search a bit to come up with what you said above. one addition, CWM lets you mount sd storage to usb so you can copy files to sdcard (say the recovery image). then update CWM 3.0.0.6 with ADB.

Well i work in the Imported Automotive parts. My job requires me to basically sit around and answer the phone when it rings. We have our own "call center" room. I just pick up the phone and answer question and sell parts. Like right now i'm working on a engine rebuild kit for a 1975 2Ton Mercedes Bens..... so i get some free time from time to time, and XDA is one of a few sites they allow me to visit.... BGR/ Android and Me, Android Central are the others....
I can see why some people blow up, spend +$200.00 on a phone then turn around and blow through something w/o taking the time to read something and then you get stuck in a bootloop.... i can see why people go bonkers. But slowing down and reading would solve alot of problems. Heck i've got 3 great threads in my signature that would solve alot question that one could have with a new device.

fixed my problem

Thread stuck.

Great guide!

Same issue, except i flashed 3.0.0.6 beforehand to prevent any problems. Iced Glacier flashed okay, I just didn't care for it much. Ive wiped all the necessary parts prior to flashing as I would before flashing any roms. Ive managed to retrieve and restore a previous back (I can haz backups) so Im not stuck. I would like to be in the cool kids cyanogen club. Any ideas?

Meaning you want to run Cyanogen(mod)? Well jump over to their site and download the ROM of your picking; Nightlies are alpha builds, and the RC's are beta builds. I've ran both and both are extremely stable. I have links supplied in the first post. and directions for that matter. just make sure to do a nandroid backup before wiping and flashing.

Thanks ....Saved ME LIFE

In fact, this happens with all of the options in the clockwork recovery.

Why do you say that?

[TUT] Flash a DAF rom and apply CWM at the same time.

Combining a DAF rom with CWM
This assumes you have magldr 1.13. if you have an older version, backup your rom data, and flash magldr 1.13 first.
A few times there have been posts asking about applying clockworkmod whilst keeping using a DAF rom.
Here's how.
Image 1 - Top left DAF rom folder contents, top right CWM folder contents, bottom middle, combined contents to a new folder.
Copy only system.img and boot.img from the DAF rom folder, and ALL files from the CWM folder, combine into a new folder as per image 1.
In the new combined folder, find flash.cfg, open it in notepad.
(open notepad and drag the file into the empty window)
Edit the boot and system lines to include the filename, and adjust the size of the system line so that it is bigger than system.img
Image 2 - Top left DAF flash.cfg, top right CWM flash.cfg, bottom middle, combined flash.cfg which started out as the CWM flash.cfg and now references the two extra .img files, system.img and boot.img, plus the size of the system partition has been adjusted to allow system.img to fit.
Save flash.cfg
Boot phone into magldr, USB flashing, run DAF.exe just like normal.
Hey presto, CWM is applied and the DAF rom is installed all in one go.
If you did a backup first using titanium, for example, you should now be able to restore your apps and data without issue, and you should also now be able to boot into CWM from magldr by choosing 8 - AD recovery, and you can now use teh CWM backup and restore feature, plus flash CWM roms.
Note that the 300meg system partition used in this example is just that, and example, simply because i used the original DFT release to test this TUT. You could just as easily use 260meg. So long as it is bigger than the system.img by a meg or two it should be fine.
If you want to change to a smaller rom (or bigger) you would need to flash normal cwm again (not this combined one) using a smaller(bigger) partition layout.
Note that flashing a small rom into a big system partition (example a 130meg cm7 rom into this 300meg system partition) will NOT cause any problems, you would just waste 170meg.

Nice work Sam, the screen shots made it really easy to understand also. I will be the first to hit the thanks button, even though I prefer to use CWM to flash my Adroid ROMs and not DAF.
Now if yo could figure out how to flash cLK and CWM at the sametime that would be awesome.

Thanks,

Oh yeah it is a reason why ROM chefs right for "experienced user" above the cLK instructions I am whale to get cLK flashed and get CWM flashed but still have not got a ROM flashed using it as I did not have a cLK compatible ROM at that point. So I Task 29ed and flash MAGLDR and then CWM then Hyperdroid back to my HD2. I downloaded the cLK compatible ROM night before last but before I could reflash CLK and CWM I accidently busted the LCD screen on my laptop
As soon as AI actually get a ROM flashed using CLK and CWM I will add it to my guide.

You beat me to the punch with this one
Nice TUT man, haven't tried it but I've been curious for a while if this could work. Will try!

I was able to flash the ROM! the phone booted but it gave me directly that my internal memory is almost full notification and many process unexpectedly closed errors! i turned off the phone rebooted but its now stuck on HTC splash screen repeating over and over again without booting into android! Please help!

This is an outdated tutorial. You should pick the rom you want, put it on the SD card, then into magldr, USB flasher, run the "android toolkit" and use it to set whatever partition size you require, reboot,into magldr, option 8 ad recovery, that starts cwm, then choose instal zip from SD - choose zip. Done.

How can I wipe my android rom from my hd2 and start fresh?

What I'm trying to say is, when I got my hd2 It already had magldr 1.13 and a nice gingerbread rom installed. What I want to know is how can I go back to a clean Leo and start fresh so that I can learn how to install android myself. I could use some help with the i android install afterward as well. thanks in advance.
Sent from my Touchpad using xda premium

You could use the hd2 toolkit from this post. It will wipe your rom (task29 option), install mgldr, then you would be good to go to install recovery and another rom.
I have just been using it, its a great tool. I think this would only apply to nand roms, sd roms maybe do it differently?
Peace
Edit: also, I found post #4 from this thread invaluable help for flashing my first leo android rom.

If you truly want to go to a "Fresh LEO" download a stock leo winmo rom, change the .exe to .zip find the RUU or something like RUU_signed.nbh ( should be like 270MB in size) and change the name to LEOIMG.NBH and transfer it a 4GB or less microSD card and insert into phone. Start the phone holding the red power button and the volume down button. it should go into the bootloader and flash stock radio/spl/rom and you can start from scratch. CM7 was the best thing to happen to the HD2. CAN'T WAIT FOR CM9!!!!

Okay people now I REALLY need your help, okay so I flashed clockwork mod recovery through magldr, and thats working fine, but after doing so, when it tries to boot it says something like failed to load kernel, so I figured that roms toast so I used the option in magldr to "Ad hard reset" because the hd2 toolkits task 29 wipe kept failing as well. So I need help finding a rom that will install from clockwork mod recovery. Im hoping it will take care if my kernel problem. Any links to Cwm roms would be great and thanks in advance.

So I need help finding a rom that will install from clockwork mod recovery. Im hoping it will take care if my kernel problem. Any links to Cwm roms would be great and thanks in advance.

Pretty much any newer ROM will be flashed through CWM. Just look at the OP and flash the correct partition size, then place the 'MAGLDR' version of the ROM (zipped folder) on your SD card and flash

Wait lemme see if I have this correct. When I see roms that say magldr version, I can flash THOSE through CWM recovery? If u could help me find cm7 that I can flash through cwm I'd be most appreciative. Thanks again.

Any CM7 ROM in the NAND Development section really. Typhoon, Hyperdroid, Dorimanx etc.

first check the CWM recovery requirements of the ROM(it will say something like CWM 5/120/5) then check your current recovery if its the same. If not you need to download the zip file for the CWM recovery required by the ROM. unzip the file on a computer and run the .exe and follow prompts on the screen(doing this will completely delete the current ROM install on your phones internal memory). Once the correct recovery is flash on your phone, you can flash the ROM itself
