Hi, I've been flashing my HD2 for 1 hour and it stopped at 'Formatting System...' I don't know what's wrong. I did Task29, all kind of wipes and it stopped here.

Hey I just met you,
And this is crazy.
Could be the recovery.
So update it maybe?
Try a different recovery. Sometimes, I can't install certain ROMs until I change the recovery.

Besides, even if he were using MAGLDR AND didn't have an ext partition, that shouldn't prevent "system" from being wiped.
I made SD-EXT (ext4) partition 1024 mb, 0 mb swap (2 minutes before flashing ROM)
Then I tried flash my new ROM but it stopped on 'Formatting System...'
I used universal method to flash by cLK which I known but when I tried with cLK from link in thread with ROM, then worked.
But I think that SD partition didn't create because in the settings applications manager free space show only ~110mb
(in my previous ROM when I made the SD-EXT partition by method which I know the applications manager show ~1000 mb free).
cLK Install Manual:
Download archive with the cLK loader and Recovery from here than unpack its content.
Connect PDA in bootloader mode ("mattress") and run LeoAdvancedRUU.exe from сLK folder
Wait for PDA reboot and clamp a key "Back". Connect PDA with cable to PC
Install the driver if the PC doesn't see a PDA connected (download from here)
Run fastboot_resize.bat from cLK_CWM_Recovery folder
Wait for PDA reboot and get to the menu cLK. Run fastboot_install_recovery.bat from a folder cLK_CWM_Recovery. Wait the record ends.
Choose Recovery mode by arrows and press the call button "Green button"
Choose point "Install zip from sdcard" by arrows and next "Choose zip from sdcard", choose our archive with firmware (the firmware should be thrown preliminary on a sdcard) and press a call button "Green button"
After the installation finishes get to the menu again. Press a key "Back" and choose point "Reboot system now"
The PDA will reboot and the Android will be started. The first start a bit longer then usual

Check the sdcard in a computer, see if the partition is there with correct settings.
In the computer I can see free space 6,3 gb (mircoSD 8 gb) so partition is probably well set ;/

No, don't make assumptions. Use windows' desk management or any 3rd party app to CHECK.
Probably the rom is using ad2sd so it's mounting data from nand and putting apps on sd-ext partition (happens to me with energy sense 3.5 rom).
Use EXTRecovery to wipe all partitions, then create one, then print a partition table to check.
I will check this when I come back from work. Use phone like HTC HD2 or anyone smartphone is useless without sd partition.
In the cLK table looks like that:

Forget about that. I was referring to the recovery. Try CWM for example and see if it works.
hmm, but why 4EXT Recovery Control shows sd-ext capacity 915 MB? I think that partition is well done, but my rom can't use it.

I want to try a ROM which says:
Partition Layout (5/155/5) use hd2 toolkit
SDext: min. 500mb
I am not 100% sure what does it mean SDext is probably 500 ext patition bigger than 500
5/155/5 is
5 cashe
155 data and
5 WHAT????
Cant figure this out.
Thank you
Do you have any android rom installed? If yes, then you should (I had on every rom) have an option on reboot menu: reboot, recovery and BOOTLOADER - choose this one. And there you have SETTINGS->REPARTITION NAND and there set these ones your roms prefers. If you have not, then try to install this rom choosen by you, and maybe there will be option BOOTLOADER on menu. These are partitions, for example 155data(system) is space for system (I think). But standard settings are good for me and works with every rom.
[EDIT]
Try to boot phone by holding [back] nad [Power]. This opens bootloader and there you can set all.
Partition your nand using HD2 Nand Tookit.
First 5 is boot partition set to 5 by default
155 is system partition,
next 5 is cache size.
sdext partition can be set up from recovery (in cwm recovery go to advanced menu and select partition sd card), follow instructions for your rom. This can be used as if it was internal memory by your rom..
ALSO you might want to take a look HERE..
Edit: best to post any questions about any specific ROM in the ROM thread
This question was not "how-to", but more "what does 5/155/5 mean" type of question. Last time I played with internal memory of the device all I had to do was select the appropriate CWM version. This is why I asked here, I think it belongs, cos is general knowledge kind of thing.
I kind of dont see how to fiddle the size of /boot, no problems with /data and /cashe, but since you say this is default I wont have to, I suppose.
A few days ago I was pissed of by CyanogenMod (and stock Andriod in general), cos the only option to deal with Vcards is Handsend sms, but Handsend will not search for contacts correctly in Bulgarian (CYR) when installed on vanilla Android - small letters will not match capital and vice versa in contact names. This is why I decided to go for Sense - the message app is simply better...
Rather than using toolkit, download the CWM package and inside is a file called flash.cfg. Open this file and you should get this (maybe a different system or cache size)

5/155/5 is basically the middle three lines, i.e. 5Mb boot partition, 150Mb system partition and 5Mb cache partition. I don't know why chefs post it like this as I'm reasonably sure the boot is always 5Mb (I've never seen differently) so they could just post the system partition size (as quite a lot do). Hope this helps

You would make my day, since I am away form how, with my laptop only, the ROM I run has a bug with wifi tether and I have to change it, but options are quite limited, since I dont know how to re-part, I have to choose ROMs that rely on system less or equal to 155 at teh moment.

Hello XDA forum,
I recently received my dad's 'old' HD2, and I wanted to get rid of the WM6.5. In the past I've been playing around with some other Android devices, and those were pretty straight forward.
Now, after reading a few guides I tried installing the PARANOID Android ROM through CWM. (I have HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR, CWM etcetera. (I also did a Team29 wipe)) But now I face a problem; When I try to install the .zip file, it prompts me with the following lines:
__________________________
--Installing:/sdcard/PARANOIDANDROID HD2 [v1.5a].zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...

__________________________
I have tried every single way of mounting the SDcard and writing the .zip file to it over and over again, but all it does give the same error over and over. (MAGLDR USB Storage, CWM Mounting, Mounting in card reader and so forth.)
Now my question is; Am I doing something horribly wrong?
First of all, once you do a "Team29" wipe, you'd have to reinstall MAGLDR and then CWM.
It's "Task29", and you don't have to do it every time you want to install a ROM.
Now, what Radio are you on? And what is your CWM version? And can you open the ROM.zip on your PC without errors?

Oh ofcourse. I meant Task29. Also, I did reinstall MAGLDR and CWM. The CWM version is v5.0.2.6 and my radio is Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14.
When I open the zip on the PC, everything is just fine.

Well, I wasn't sure what to take for that, so I took the default for the Cache(45MB I believe that is in the HD2Toolkit, and for the Partition size I took 200MB)
Also, I tried several SD cards, all giving me the same errors. I also tried to install a Tytung kernel .zip file which gives the exact same error.
After a failed install, select the advanced > report error option in cwm. Then mount your SD card as USB mass storage, get the log from /clockworkmod and post it here.

As I know PARANOIDANDROID HD2 v1.5b, it has 2Mb cache and 150Mb system partition.
For installation follow this, (your sdcard must have clean ext partition or you can create it via recovery mod. And you have to have 2.08.HSPL)
1. do Task29
2. install Radio ROM 2.15.50.14
3. Install Magldr 1.13 (via HD2 Toolkit Magldr button)
4. Install Recovery CWM (2Mb system cache, 150 Mb system Partition, via HD2 Toolkit Recovery Button)
5. Clear cache/Dalvick cache (on recovery mode your HTC)
6. Load your android .zip file in sdcard via Recovery mod.

Hi
I recently installed a Sense 3.x ROM from the Sensation XL Android 2.3.5 and I got only 9MB of free space. I have an initrd-patcher for ICS and JB, but I doubt that it will work on older versions of android.
Is there a way to make android 2.3.5 use the EXT4 partition on the SD-card?
Yes, you have to flash an a2sd or DataOnExt script after first boot/flashing the rom immediately. Of course, while having an ext partition created beforehand.

Thanks for the reply. Can you recommend a good script for doing this?
I'd suggest this one, but there's a whole lot of other ones. So if this one doesn't work well or you don't like it, don't come here asking for another one. Instead, go out there and look for the one that you like.

You don't understand, I mean can you format you phone and install this rom again with my advices?
Did you made an EXT4 partition of 1GB or more, with Mini Tool (free), on your sd BEFORE fresh installation of this ROM?
I checked your ROM and the script (apps2sd) is already in that ROM so you probably make a wrong Installation.
Sv: Enabling storage of EXT4 on SD-card
I do understand what you say. I made a task29, clk repartition and recovery from hd2toolkit. Under installation the installer asks if I have 1024mb us model or 512mb EU version. I selected the EU version, as this is the one I have. The only question it asks me is if I have magldr or clk.
After that it returns to clk recovery and I press reboot now. I have created the ext4 partition before I even tried installing android the very first time.
If you want, I can perform a new installation with a video recording to document the process

Do not use CLK or HD2toolkit this time.
I will recommend to do in this way, before touch your phone format your SD with GUIFORMAT (look here on XDA for it) in FAT32 normal mode (no quick), after format the SD use Mini Tool and make a ext4 partition of 2gb (2048mb) at the end of the SD, so when you look at the partition the ext partition have to be at the right side of you. Put inside the SD the zip of Sensation XL 3.0 only, do not do anything else with your sd.
Format your Phone with Task29, reboot in Bootloader,
Flash MAGLDR 1.13 for HD2,
From MAGLDR 1.13 via USB Flasher flash the Recovery Touch Beta 8, (I provided you the Recovery ready for you, unzip and flash)
Reboot in MAGLDR,
put the SD into the Phone,
run Recovery,
Do a wipe data and wipe cache partition and wipe dalvick cache,
Install from sd the zip via recovery,
In Aroma do not select any option if you don't know anything about it, the installation will recognize the EXT4 partition automatically and you ready to GO, GO, GO.
Let me know.

You should use DataOnExt. Create an ext partition on your sdcard and reinstall the ROM with the installation option "Nand with DataOnExt" chosen. And you should be good to go.

You can follow this great tutorial by mengfei up to the point where he says "Another method of creating an EXT4 partition". (don't forget to thank him)
Edit: Your memory failed you , it must be an ext2/3/4. (In addition to your original FAT32)

If I'm not mistaken it's almost exactly the same as in mengfei's guide. Just boot into AD Recovery from MAGLDR, select Advanced then partition SD card. Choose whatever size you like (if you're not sure then 1GB is always a good safe option) and usually you won't have need for a swap partition so select 0 here. This will delete all of the data on your SD card though so make sure to back anything important up first.

Yeah, the best way to do it is using an SD card reader but since you don't have that using USB mass storage or the option in cwm should be fine.

That process is likely to format your sdcard, so MAKE SURE you have backed up everything. That means you'll also have to recopy the .zip file of the ROM.

2. Nevertheless I tried NAND version installed it using CWM but then it got stuck on loading screen, could this problem be solved by this patch? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40623956&postcount=821

Nand is divided into two: 1- Pure Nand (EVERYTHING is on the NAND of the device) and 2- Nand with DataOnExt (as the name implies, some of the data will be stored on an EXT partition on your SD card).
Since the international version of the HD2 only has about half a gig of storage, if you fit everything into the NAND you won't have enough space left for you to install apps and whatnot. If you want it on NAND, you need to choose the second option (some data on the sdcard), but you need to make sure you have an EXT partition on your sd card first (if you don't know how to make one, search).
And "aurora" (you mean aroma*) is just a path, it IS like you said THE installer. It's got nothing to do with your installation. It is just a fancy make-up for the old installation method. Yes, you'll have to use it.

No, that patch is for something else. Your problem is different.
If you mean:
1- NAND Only, then you may have not made enough partition space for the system. (Either way, you shouldn't use this one, use NAND WITH dataonext).
but if you mean 1- NAND with DataOnExt, then it is either your partition size is too small or you do not have a proper sdcard ext partition.

3. Is it possible to use Rom Manager to install this Rom? I have only tried CWM method and this one seems also really easy to use.
Thank you for your answers!!!

It's the same thing. When you select "Install ROM" in ROM Manager, it will actually reboot your device into CWM and you will have to follow the steps of Aroma as well. Yes, you can use it if you have cLK bootloader and not magldr.
You are welcome
According to your answer, I have to download AROMA installer and use it for installing new Rom. In DataOnExt version will 1 Gb partition be enough?

No, Aroma is *included* in the .zip file of the ROM. Just download the ROM, flash from recovery normally but instead of the usual text of procedure, you'll see a fancy screen where you get to configure the ROM before it is installed.
In my opinion, yes, 1GB is more than enough.
recover

CWM is independent from the ROM you install.
If you are talking about "boot into recovery" from within the ROM, that's a rom's feature and does not have to be included in it. You can reach the recovery by rebooting your phone into MAGLDR and then choosing the option AD. Recovery or something like that.
Just to add a little to Marvlesz's answer, reboot into recovery/bootloader on any ROM will just reboot the phone normally if you have MAGLDR. To access CWM just hold power for the MAGLDR menu then select 8. AD Recovery. If you use cLK on the other hand, reboot into recovery does work if I'm not mistaken.
I tried to install this ROM using various settings (DataOnExt / Native SD, wipe/no wipe, magldr / ppp...) but phone always ends up rebooting itself after htc loading screen. I did partition SD card to FAT 32 (primary) and 1GB EXT4 (primary).
What could be the problem and how to solve it?
Thank you!

What /system partition size did you use? Make sure it's big enough for the ROM you're trying to flash.

EXT4 = 1GB. I partitioned SD card with Mini Tool Partition Wizard, then copied Zip on SD card, wiped data (factory reset + dalvik) installed ROM. To me it feels like I did everything according to instructions...

No, not your SD EXT partition, the partition you flashed when flashing CWM.

I have 150 mb. So for this ROM should I use 250 or 400?

285. To create that, go to wherever your CWM thing is stored on your PC, open the CWM folder, open the file flash.cfg (not flash.cfg.txt.) in notepad (it should open in this way automatically) then change the value next to the line beginning 'SYSTEM...' from 150 to 285, keeping everything else exactly the same.
