[Q] Required partition size, Required cache size - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

hello all..
I'm helping a friend installing a NAND version Android on his HD2 device running WM 6.5
I've upgraded the SPL to HSPL 2.08, and installed MAGLDR. I'm at this point now.. I haven't installed ClockworkMod yet. and I'm still choosing between ROMs.
While searching, I keep finding a line talking about "the required partition size" and "the required cache size". My question is, Is this just an informative line telling you what to expect, or you need, according to this info, to reconfigure disk space, or anything else in your phone?
Also, Can I install ANY HD2 ROM using MAGLDR, and this method?
Thanks in advance,

Read the guide in my signature, everything should be clear. Each ROM requires a certain partition size, you can change it using the hd2 toolkit. Almost all ROMs will work with MAGLDR and CWM. You shouldn't have to change the cache partition size, I haven't come across a ROM which uses a 45MB cache partition yet.

Thank you my Nigeldg... I'll check it out.

You need to install the HD2 toolkit, boot into Magldr, choose USB flasher mode and repartition the nand storage and cache according to rom specifications.

So what should I do now?
I already partition my sd with 512M and Swap size is 256..
You have to partition your nand also.in the first page of nand development there is ksubedi s hd2 nand tool kit,download and setup it in pc.then connect your hd2 to pc,in mgldr menu choose usb flasher,then in toolkit choose in mgldr repartition size custom and cache size 5, then at the bottom click repartition,a window will open write 180 and ok. When partitioning finishes flash the rom.btw 512mb sd-ext size may not be enough for the chosen rom you better use 1.5-2 gb,and reduce swap to a lower value or to 0.

[Q] Stuck on bootscreen new nand rom

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?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264828
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.

[Q] ROM Partitioning

Hi all,
I managed already to flash some different ROM into the NAND of my HD2. Right now I´m trying out MIUI_GINGER_2.3.7_STABLE_V4.1. Although many readers are reporting brilliant performance and behaviour of the ROM, my device is coming up with "not additional memory" error message when I try and install the first app from market right after new installation.
Can some expert please tell me:
1. How can I read out the current partition settings of my device?
2. How do you usually change partition sizes (using HD2 Android NAND Toolkit?)
3. Somebody tell me the optimal partition sizes for the above mentioned MIUI ROM?
Thanks upfront for your help!
Peter
Easy way to rectify this is go to hd2 toolkit set the system partion to 130, and the cache size to 2, let it do its thing, in cwm format and wipe everything, and reinstall rom. Ive ran it before with over 100+ apps before with plenty left over. Let me kno how it fares!

Seems I´m doing something wrong. :-(
1. I´m doing a task29
2. Via cLK Repartition I´m applying the partition data you mentioned above
3. I´m installing MAGLDR
With this status I´m not able to install my ROM without having repartitioned the device once again via MAGLDR Repartition. The result is, that I have no more than 0,93 MB memory left after having installed the OS.
How do I install the ROM correctly via CWM?
Many thanks,
Peter

Why on Earth would you use the cLK repartition function when you have MAGLDR installed?
I would just use the 150Mb partition at the end of this guide, it fits the requirements set by the OP exactly.

What are your partition sizes? Particularily sense roms require a large partition. If your partition isn't large enough for the system, it will not boot.
Edit: Sorry I just reread where you said you partition is correctly.
Make sure your downloading the correct rom ?? Sorry I'm not much help on this.
Yeah, i partitioned it right 1024 and 0 swap, Sense roms give me a status 0 error and non sense give me that no boot sources error on MAGLDR
Did u tried cLK ? Did u did full install proces ?

I think what he meant was is the system partition correct? Not SD-EXT.

Yea that's exactly what I meant if your system isn't partitioned correctly there will be boot problems every time. Search for "HD2 Toolkit" it makes it so much easier.
Task 29
Then install magldr or clk with the correct system partitions.*most important part*
Install clockwork mod
Flash your rom
Reboot and it should start fine.

I have two HD2s this one is running off NAND Hard Droid 2. I did all the steps I did with this one. Flashed Hspl3 choose spl 2.08 after that was done flashed magldr then installed CWM via SD and portitioned the SD? Not sure about system. Swap 0 as it said in instructions. Flashed zip and I get the errors. Could someone tell how to task 29. Isn't that a nand wipe?

I'm on my phone so I can't give you the specific link. If you go to the guide in my signature I have a link to hd2 toolkit. You need this program. It will solve your problems because your system partitions are not correct. Swap and things like that matters but its on your SD card. Your problem is with the internal partitions.
Download the program I promise its worth it. If you don't like it delete it but at least try it so you can boot and experience android on nand.
If you want to use clk my guide might help you with that to.

I don't know if I can ask my question in this topic, but I think partitioning is part of my issue. On my HD2, I installed Ice Cream Sandwich Beta7. Used Magdlr. At first it won't booit into android either, but that was because I used the recovery_1.3400MB. Later I used the 250MB.
But then I got problems with installing apps: Internal space was insufficient. So I read this topic:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20577589 See page 12.
So I followed these steps:
Backup your SD card data (and prefferably nandroid backup your rom) and use recovery to repartition your SD.
Go to recovery, advanced, Partition SD Card
Partitioning to 1024 works wel, but 2048 won't. I don't know why, cause it's a 2GB sd card. But after partitioning, Android isn't using the space on the sd-card.
I can manually copy apps to the SD card, but it still gives errors about insufficient internal memory......
2gb=2000mb that's a problem if only using a 2gb for partitioning over 2gigs xD

Actually 2GB = 2048 MB...
But still the question is; when I choose 1024, why doesn't android use this partition as extra storage?? So why am I getting errors of insufficient space?
Check your properties on the SD because they usually lie to you about how much storage it is. Its rarely plain out too gigs

Pertaining CWM Recovery Size

Hello everyone, quick question, I am trying to install a new ROM on my HD2 and it requires 190mbs of system partition but mine only has 150mbs. My question is can I install the ROM even though the cwm partition size is only 150mbs?
ROM I am trying to Flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354267
I have searched everywhere and haven't found an answer but if I can't I know I can use HD2 Nand ToolKit and install a a custom system partition. Thank you
You're going to have to re-partition. If the Chef says 190is needed, you can't stuff 190MB into 150MB of space. Just do a nandroid backup if your worried about losing stuff from your current build or are unsure of the new build. And copy your pictures/music/ringtones to your pc. Besides pictures, what will you really lose if you reformat anyhow?
Ahh I see, thank you for your prompt reply. I have done a backup as you suggested and I'm going to change the size thanks again
Just reflash clockwork........ in the clockwork file on your pc edit the " flash.cfg " change the system partition to whatever you like 200, 250
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Change to clk 1.5. You can repartition without connecting to a computer or anything.
