Hey guys, really struggling trying to get this working and I'm not sure why. I've been flashing roms to my HTC HD2 (1024 LEO - TMo USA) for a few years now without any issues. For some reason I can not get either of these CM builds to boot properly at all.
- [ROM][720p] NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.8 [NativeSD]
Boots to the grey-ish android text splash logo and cycles through the animation for 1h+. No signs of continued activity.
- [ROM][720p] NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.3a [NativeSD]
Boots to green HTC splash text for 10 seconds then phone completely turns off and reboots repeatedly. Left going for 30 min, no change.
Both installers use the AROMA installer platform. Maybe I'm missing something here? It's been a while since I've tried anything new like the AROMA stuff. I just can't seem to get these to function properly. If there's anything at all I can try to do I would really appreciate the assistance.
I'd like to give 4ext a try, but I'm not sure how I can do that with replacing Clockwork in the process.
Here's my specs:
Environment:
-HTC HD2 (1024 LEO - TMo USA)
-16Gb SD HC Card [512MB Paritioned EXT4 / 32MB SWAP] (Attempted with standard 2Gb SD as well with same setup, same results.)
-HSPL 2.08
-MAGLDR 1.13
-CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7
Things to Note:
-Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe cache partition, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Fix Permissions all run before installations.
-Installations for both ROMS attempted with all 3 installation types (NAND, NAND with DataOnEXT, NativeSD). Exact same resulting errors as listed above, regardless of installation method chosen.
-ROM's zips installed via CWM Recovery's 'Install from SD Card' utility.
-SD Card formated after failed install attempts.
-MD5 verified. No visible file corruptions.

This seems quite odd, I assume you've tested other ROMs which boot perfectly? It's possible that your SD simply isn't compatible with MAGLDR (mine isn't) so NativeSD doesn't work. As for NAND/Data on EXT do you correctly repartition in CWM as per the OP of the ROM threads before flashing?

All other ROMs I installed worked fine. SD card has worked fine as well for other builds. After some research I found that doing an SD format/partition via CWM Recovery defaults to EXT3 with no options for EXT4 apparently.
I was able to fix the issue late last night however. I flashed 4ext recovery via CWM and used that to convert the SD card's EXT3 system partition into EXT4. Ran the CM10 install and everything came up perfectly. I still think that's strange though considering I chose a pure NAND install.

Oh darn it! I came a little too late to help you. When I first opened this thread, I told myself "damn, too much letters and words! will look at it later." when the issue is actually easily fixed. Sorry!
I was on NAND (cLK), but then I wanted to try nativesd. so I flashed about 3 nativesd roms, but non of them worked. I switched from cwm to 4EXT recovery and voilà, everything worked!
I had almost exactly the same set up, except the recovery. It is indeed weird why cwm doesn't work whereas 4ext does.

No problem, I appreciate at least knowing I wasn't the only one to have issues with it! Maybe you can still help me out though.
The only way I am able to boot into 4EXT recovery is by installing a special zip file with CWM each boot; it would load a 1-time instance of 4EXT recovery. Is there some way to flat-out replace CWM with 4EXT? Until CWM has EXT4 formatting capabilities, I'm not seeing the advantage of it with these new ROMs being so dependent on it. Or maybe it's because of the AROMA installers, which I definitely see as being the new preferred standard for ROM installation packages.

I searched for quite a while, and never found any ideas on how to fix this issue.
I followed the youtube video and got the clockwork mod installed correctly. However, anytime I try to install a rom via recovery, it shows that it's installed successfully... but after rebooting, my device freezes on the boot screen (after magdlr displays GO GO GO.)
I've tried 2 different roms, both MDJ builds, and they both do the same thing. I made sure to wait 15 minutes when booting for the first time, thinking it may be slow on first boot... but it never booted. Does anyone know the partition size to use for MDJ's roms? I thought this might be part of the problem, but I'm open to any ideas and suggestions.
In the meantime, I'll just install via Magdlr... but I would really love to have Clockwork mod working. So, any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Make sure you have HSPL 2.08.
Make sure your Radio is at least 2.10.50 and above.
Done and done.
Then you need to Partition the NANDFLASH.
flash.cfg
Code:
misc ya 1M
recovery ya|ro 5M
boot ya|boot|ro 5M
system ya 150M
cache ya 10M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
I use the above for MDJ Gingerbread, but now, I am thinking of allocating 350M to system partition instead of 150M which is too small to play with other ROMs.
Finally, after you repartition, boot into Clockwork Recovery on your SD Card, then install ZIP.
After you are done, turn off your device and remove the SD Card. Turn on the device and see if it works.
Clockwork cannot partition your NANDFLASH, which is why you need to use DAF.exe and flash.cfg file to partition the NAND.

I have the same problem
What is the brand, size and class rating for your MicroSDHC card?
Have you tried doing a low level format on the card yet?
It is not that hard to choose a partition size for system.
Look at the size of the system.img, then allocate that size. So say system image file is 237MB, you just allocate 250MB.
350MB seems to cover most of the DesireHD stock CW rom.
250MB covers most other custom CW rom
150MB covers MDJ's Gingerbread 2.3
Dont know if this is the correct forum to post but here it goes,
phone has MAGLDR 1.11
clockwork 1.1
originally flashed jdms 1.6 nand and was working perfectly
i tried to add the files from the updated clockwork 1.2 booted up clockwork as it normaly would, backed up my current system through through clockwork, i downloaded and put the updated version of jdms 1.7 beta and it would just bootloop, read that i needed a partition and i did it through clockwork, still bootlooped but it woped my sd card's contents with the partition, tried reformatting sd card added a new rom to start from scratch and it just satys at the htc logo or the android on rollerskates logo, tried putting the recovery image had back and it said it couldnt recognize md5 sum so it wouldnt do it. ive tried three bulds and all of them get stuck at the htc or cyanogen screen, i am doing all this from ubuntu, do i need to just start over and reflash through DAF? i dont have access to a windows machine so it will be a while, anybody have any suggestions? im phoneless at the moment, thanks in advance
Wipe cache after restore.
When bootloop, restart phone, start Clockwork mode - wipe cache.
Then restart phone.

Tried that, didn't work still stuck on HTC quietly brilliant screen just flashed raidroid HD build
anyone has any advice?
Same Issue
I have the same issue of a bootloop... this seems to be the only place i could find with someone who is having a similar issue as i am.
Steps ive done:
Used Task29 w/radio 2.08.50.05 first.
Ive installed HSPL3
Ive also installed MAGLDR 1.13
Ive partitioned the SD to 13 gb FAT32 and 1 GB Ext3 --- both in primary
Ive flashed recovery 400
installed recovery files onto sd directly
I added the zipped CMYLXGOroms.stock.desire.HD.v1.1.5n.NAND.RMNET.NO-SQUASH-RAFPIGNA.1.7OC_CWM file directly to the SD card root.
then I install the CMYLXGOrom and it installs correctly, and then it boots up, and i see the android welcome screen for a second, and it starts its bootloop.
I've tried this with several differnt roms that are for the 1024 LEO but I get the same result each time.
Any help would be much appriciated!
Right just flashed boyppc gingerbread rom v30 but i'm getting loops in the android system after it being on for a while anyways others seem to have this problem also.
What i want to do now is just use v29 of the rom which i'm pretty sure will work but i'm not sure what to do in terms of flashing now that i have v30 on.
I followed the instructions for v30 which first made a 151 recovery then a installed rom. The v29 rom has a 154 recovery. What do i do now? just run the DAF.exe that came with the v29 or do i need to do other things to make v29 work?
this recovery thing is so confusing.

Hi,
First thing to do is run the 154 recovery.
Then ad recovery>wipe data,cache partition,dalvik(advanced)
Then go to install zip from sd card
Choose zip from sd card (which you should have placed on the root of your sd card,using a card reader)
After installation,reboot.
Give it time.
Some ROMS take 15-20 minutes to install.
right i see
does this process also wipe my ext4 partition i have on my sd card or do i have to do this seperately?

Hi,
Everything I have shown you is what you need to clean the phone and set it up for a new ROM,including wiping your EXT.
You don't have to wipe your ext partition, just leave it alone and you should have all your apps on your new rom that you had before. If you really want to wipe it, get Root Explorer (paid app) or ES File Explorer, and navigate to /mnt/sd-ext and delete the contents. But it really isn't necessary.

Ok cool thanks guys you've been a really big help. I finally understand!!!!
: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...

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.
Hi guys, and before anything else, I'm so sorry. I've broken all the rules of making a backup and NOT trying to flash a phone after midnight. It won't happen again. I'm praying that this is second nature to you guys now though and you can save my backside .
I'm attempting to flash tytung's amazing-sounding Jelly Bean ROM for my HD2 512MB. I've tried to do everything I've read, but as a bit of a ROM noob paging through some fairly techy threads I'm sure I'm missing a step or three. I've previously flashed a tytung ICS CM9 ROM, so I've done all the rooting stuff before. Here's what I've done this time:
Back up important data (though not the actual ROM).
Format 16GB SD card (FAT32).
Partition SD card into 1GB Ext4 and 15GB FAT32, both primary.
Copy ROM zip and kokotas' initrd_patcher_v2 zip onto FAT32 partition.
I was also following this video a bit, so I added 4EXTRecovery as well.
As per video above, ran Task 29 to clean things up (probably unwarranted)
Boot into Magldr 1.13, set 4EXTRecovery as the SD boot dir.
Boot to SD, into 4EXTRecovery.
Install ROM from zip, choosing NAND + Ext option.
Complete, reboot into Magldr.
Be unsure about boot settings... set to Securecrt_JB_kernel maybe?
Boot from SD card into reboot loop.
Boot from NAND, receive "no boot sources".
Give up, surrender for assistance.
I'm hoping I have a guardian xdangel out there who can answer a few simple questions for me. I'm very happy to provide more information that you probably need, but I need some rest for now.
Ultimately, do I boot from NAND or SD (in Magldr)?
If NAND, why does "Boot AD NAND" currently come up saying "no boot sources"?If SD, to what do I set the AD SD Dir in Magldr? What loader am I missing to boot into Android?
The 4EXTRecovery log says something about cache partition not found; does this mean I've messed something up in the partitioning?
I thought I'd try setting the SD dir to "Securecrt_JB_kernel.20120924_22_34_with_initrd_for_NAND_DataOnEXT", since it sounded promising (cant remember where I found it), but it just gets me into a reboot loop. Is this totally the wrong thing to be using?
Could the reboot loop be something to do with system partition sizes? I tried reinstalling the ROM following a repartition to 400MB main and 45MB cache, and it didn't magically fix everything (still booting from that Securecrt kernel).
I remember flashing a ruu_signed.nbh file last time, but not really know what for. Do I need to do something like that here?
UPDATE: HAHAHA oh man I think it's working. I think the main issue was not repartitioning the system after naively running Task 29. Even though the ROM installer appeared to fail the second time, somehow booting from NAND has the little CyanogenMod spinny logo. Yep, there it goes! Quite slow, but functional. If anyone would still like to comment, I'd love to hear from you, and perhaps reinstall a little more effectively.
If you're feeling really generous, a list of tools needed to get through the installation would be fantastic so I don't use 'too much'. I'm sure there's more to it than just the ROM and kokatos' thing, but the development thread assumes some non-trivial familiarity with the whole process.
So again, please forgive me, but I could sure use some help :angel:.
You missed the step where you create the partitions on the nand.
Once magldr is flashed, youwould normally then installinstall cwm, duringwhichthe nand gets partitioned, butyou skippedthat and went for sd based recovery. So,get nand toolkit, phone into magldr, USB flasher, in nand toolkit select whatever size your rom needs, can lower cache from 45 down toto 5, click magldr repartition, thenwhen done you can re enter 4ext recovery bychoosing ad sd( folder to 4ext), or boot to normal cwm using option 8,,, either way you flash the rom and reboot.
There's not much point using sd 4ext recovery to just flash a nand rom,, only if you wanna run nativesd.
EDIT - heh, didn't see your update, stopped reading when i saw the missed step, glad you found it, and it'll help you remember the whole process better in future too, winner.
