Hello guys,
I installed this particular rom on my HD2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224469
The installation completes succesfully but when I reboot it stucks on a black screen. Using MAGLDR and CWM, in the installation I chose NAND installation type. Is there maybe anything I do wrong?
Thx in advance

You chose ONLY Nand? You must have enough system partition. What device do you have? (Eu or Tmo) and what is your partitioning?

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.

Ok thx a lot.. huhmm, how am I gonna create the partition? And if my memory serves me right it must be FAT32 format right?
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.

Do i have to format my sd card to install android the NAND way? or can i just leave it alone? I think i've got it all down with the rest of the steps, as far as the HSPL and magldr, then pick a ROM.

No, you don't need to. However, if you are going to be flashing a ROM that requires an SD-EXT partition and you don't already have one, the process of creating the partition (typically through CWM) will wipe your SD card anyway.

If you have a card reader you could just boot your computer with linux (live cd or usb stick) and use linux tools (gparted etc) to partition the card.

You can actually just connect via USB. Then right click on it in Linux and chose Format. Then go into the advanced options. (I use Ubuntu and have used LinuxMint in the past)

If the rom you're using supports A2SD (every rom doesn't) there's probably instructions in the thread for that. Here's from LeeDroid's thread:
LeeDroid said:
Q: What is A2SD+
A:
A2SD+ Moves your apps & Dalvik cahche to a hidden EXT partition on your MicroSD
You will be required to format you SD card with 2 partitions as laid out below
How do i set up my MicroSD ready for A2SD+
A:
Backup all data on you SD card (this will be Formatted)
The card should be formatted with your standard FAT32 partition 1st followed by an EXT3 partition (I would recommend a minimum 512mb)
Linux users use GParted or a similar software.
For everyone else I would recommend using Rom Manager or CWM
Once you have downloaded ROM manager from the market, open the app and click partition SD Card, Select your EXT size and set 0mb for swap
Restore your data to your SD.
Flash the A2SD+ Patch
Boot << Please be aware, 1st boot may take a while depending on how many apps you have installed.

As I said, every rom doesn't support A2SD and those who do have it probably mentioned in the OP of the rom thread (RCMix3D doesn't atm). You can't add A2SD support by flashing, you can only flash the A2SD patch to a rom that supports it.

Excuse me for going off-topic a bit
But why are there so many people focused on moving every application to the SD card?
It can't be for the space... I just counted and I have 70 apps installed on my internal memory, using 274 MB with 883 MB free.

I dont know about other people but for me, there is a new rom out every day and full wiping makes sure nothings wrong and if the apps are on the SD then its just easier you dont have to worry about losing your apps
But always you can use Titanum Backup to backup your apps.
Hmm.. So, ext4... For what? I know, ext4 is newest than ext3, but performance ext4>ext3 or for what?

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:
In the 4EXT Recovery Control looks like that:

Hi,
I am currently using Rom from tyween: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951 and I would like to install a new one from Tytung http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224469 .
My questions:
1. in description of tytungs Rom is stated that NAND version is for USA T-mobile so I assume that with my international version I have to use the other two versions and if so then the only way to install it is using aurora installer?
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
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!!!

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.

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.

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?

285.

That is what you're doing wrong. Do you have an ext partition on your sd card? If you don't, create one. And reduce that 400 to 300mb. (I am assuming you want to install via DataOnExt.)
