nand kernel open failed

after I flash with CWM, I get this when it trys to boot android "nand kernel open failed"
Also, in CWM, I get "E:Can't find misc"
installing nand without CWM works.

bump- I searched and didn't find anything helpful. I've tried 3 different roms

"Can't find misc" should only appear if you don't have a misc partition in NAND. (which is created when flashing CWM)
And nand kernel open failure probably means theres no zImage or initrd.gz in the boot partition.
Try flashing CWM from the CWM thread and then a ROM.

How did you transfer the zip file to SD? Did you use magldr? If so try re-transfering using your comp, as Magldr sometimes corrupts them.
Ricey

Bump.
Did a clean install of TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.3.1 and got the "nand kernel open failed" error.
I formated the SD-Card two times, reinstall cwm 150mb partition 3 times and still get the same error, first time within almost 1 year of android on my HD2 ._.
Any ideas or solutions welcome.

and another bump and sorry for my bad english =)
i get the "nand kernel open failed" error too.
i installed radio and hspl 2.08
then flashed MAGLDR 1.13
continued with CWM (250mb)
then formated my sd-card und put TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 on it
after installation, i get the error.
redid all 2 times now, nothing works.
NEED HELP ^^

Typhoon doesn't use 250mb CWM, use the one provided with rom 150MB System/5MB Cache (ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.5), most "nand kernel open failed" are down to wrong CWM size

I'm getting the same error, but only with sense 3.0 roms. Any other roms I've used have installed have worked. Is there a certain step I'm missing with installing sense 3.0 roms? I'm using MAGLDR v1.13 and Clockwork Recovery Mod v3.0.2.5. I flashed recovery_150m_cache_5m.zip onto the phone using magldr usb flasher. Any ideas?

150mb for sense rom is definitely to low!
Read the rom's thread carefully guys!
It says there what CWR partition is needed.
Sense roms need SD CARD PARTITION so read the thread (it's first page).
If you have read it and your CWR partition looks exactly as it was given in the rom's thread then do task29, hspl, magldr 1.13 and CWR.
If it still doesn't work try different roms or try CLK.

Thanks for the response. How do I create a 5/240/5 partition through CWR? The last partition I made was just installed through .zip on CWR. Sorry for the questions, new to the hd2.

do all beginners understand this? you are probably putting the 'clk' version of the rom in your storage card for installation. you need the 'magdlr' version of the rom for clockwork mod to correctly install android

Hi guys, i had the same problem, and i figured maybe i can show u what i did, to help u.
i went to THIS thread and followed the instructions:
"Installation Guide for MAGLDR 1.13"
the error occured right after i flashed the MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery_v3.2.0.0_for_NexusHD2_135M.zip onto my HTC HD2.
the only thing i had to do was enter magldr boot menu (hold off button while booting)
then i choose AD RECOVERY
CWM started up and i choose install zip from SD card
ofcourse i have placed NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.0_NAND_(Android-2.3.5).zip onto the ROOT of my SD card previously.
the .zip file installed perfectly and then i rebooted my phone.
all was ok after that..
hope this helps!

[Q] how to use cwm?

i've recently flashed the MDJ's cyanogen 2.6 onto my HD2. If i wanted to update rom using CWM how do i backup etc.. will i have to partition my SD or not? I'm quite unsure on how to use it in general and would be grateful if someone could fill me in on the basics.
thanks

If you are using a CWM 1.3 partition (installed to NAND) with magldr 1.13, then to get to CWM Recovery you go to option 8: AD Recovery on magldr menu. Then in CWM go to "backup and restore" and backup your rom. You can obviously restore it from here later if needed.
To flash a rom, go to "install rom from sd card", then select the zip file from its location on the sd card and choose install. Pretty simple really once you get the hang of it.

i have hd2 512 eu version. Magldr 1.13 installed and so is CWM 3.
recently i accidentally dropped my phone and now the usb connection/sync is not working because of the connectors being broke.
i would like to know if their is any way possible other then using DAF if i could flash my HD2 with 400M recovery since i accidentally flashed it with 130M recovery just before it being broke.
i cant install GINGERBREAD since it needs more then 130M partition on the phone and no GINGERBREAD out on XDA supports the use of SD card as phone memory. i have tried more then 6 gingerbread's using CWM mode but no luck.
currently i have * [CWM] RAFDROID HD 3.0|Fastest Full DesHD|DATA2EXT|[Kern:Rafpigna 1.7 OC] installed on my phone.

How to update jellyblast rom using CWM
I have flashed jellyblast v3 on my samsung galaxy y but the ota updates usually fails to update can you please help me how to update the rom using CWM??

This is a very old thread, of a problem for the HTC HD2. You have a samsung sth, why are you posting here and reviving a very old thread? anyway here is how (we do it):
You should download the ROM's update .zip, copy it to your sdcard, then boot into cwm and select "install zip from sd" or something like that, and finally select the newly copied zip and go through installation.

I need some help with FLASHING!

Hi for all,
now I'm using a WP7 ROM called HD2O© v1.14. I have already installed a Hard SPL 2.08, Radio 2.15 and Magldr 1.13.
And I want to flash this prety looking ROM from imilka developer ...
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919148
Can I do that? Do I need something else? Or just boot to Maglfr, flash CWM and then ,,install zip from sd card,,. Please help me with this. Thanks a lot!

Yes.
Download this
Then read the instructions in your roms thread and then partition your sd card accordingly then flash rom.

Hi,
Firstly what LEO do you have(512 or 1024)
Backup your data before starting.
Get THIS TOOL
Set to Magldr repartition>Your size according to [OP]135M (or 150M) system partition layout for EU
350M system partition layout for TMOUS
Then repartition.
Go to ad recovery>wipe data,cache partition,dalvik(advanced).
Go to install zip from sd card,choose imilka's
reboot
enjoy
EDIT:
LOL SNAP

You got me. Both I don't know which version of HD2 I have How can I check it and what is the diference between 512 and 1024?
I'm from czech republic and I'm so sorry but I don't understand you. Both I need a video tutorial This could be a hope for me
EDIT: This ROM what I want is NAND so I don't need a cLK Partitioning right? And I have I think EU version so I don't need nothing. Just go to 5. USB Flasher in Magldr and flash CWM. Then just go to AD Recovery and flash MY ROM. Is this right or not?

Did you :
Go to ad recovery>wipe data,cache partition,dalvik(advanced) before you flashed rom?
Also maybe try cwm 135M.

Yes I did it. And I also tried CWM 400MB but the same issue. I don't understand this. I used this tutorial in my language

Ok,
Backup your sd card onto your pc.
You need to re-format your sd card using XP or G-Parted Live(google).
Go to recovery >advanced>partition sd card ...you want 1024M + 0 swap
Then try everything again.

Ok i will try this. And which CWM can I flash. 150MB or 400MB. I think that 150MB is enought.

Start with 135M as stated in [OP]

I couldn't find this version I applied 150MB and now I'm in CWM and doing Partitioning SD Card... Now it's complete. Now I must add my ROM to sd card because I formated it. And then I will apply this ROM. We will see

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.

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.

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

errr, , , , when you select 8 AD recovery, , does cwm load? if it does, then yes you do, if it doesnt, no you dont.

You can't check the partition size in CWM as far as I know, just flash CWM again with the correct partition size and carry on with the installation procedure.
