[Q] 4ext won't recognize my NAND, can't install NAND ROM - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi,
decided to start using my HD2 again, this time with a NAND ROM instead of NativeSD.
Got Magldr 1.13, using recovery_4EXT2.2.7_leo_sd.
I can boot into 4ext and try to install a new NAND ROM,(ChauTien_Cyanogen_4.4.2_V2.0, Slimroms JellyBean 4.3.1 Build2.1 Final).
Aroma installer complains that my NAND is -1 MB :/
How do I go about fixing that?
Thanks

just partition your nand correctly for your rom and flash.
Says -1mb if no android there.

Never done that before. 4ext print partition info only lists the sd card :|
I tried CWM SD but it just reboots.
I've downloaded DFT Android ROM for HTC LEO, and there is a cfg file with the partition layout, trying to figure out the sizes for the ROMs I'd like to try.
I've been searching a bit and found mention of flashing TMOUS radio to get more memory on the EU variant, do you remember what exact radio should I flash?

The radio in your sig is fine
For eu hd2 try dataonext, with an ext4 partition on your sd card, and use a large system partition (up to 400mb)

Ah, the thing is I'd rather not waste sdcards on the hd2 (no small cards left .
DFT didn't work, I guess it's a driver problem, and google_android drivers won't install on win7 x64.

android rom not booting

I have been attempting to get WP7 working on my hd2, but have given up as I just can't get the thing to activate. So I have been trying to put android back on, but nothing I try installing now comes out bootable. I've even tried putting it back to an official rom before installing (or trying to) android. whereas that rom works, the android install still fails to boot.
Anyone got any suggestions?
which rom are you trying to install? cwm or daf install?
cwm install, imilka's vision sense.
Hi,
I have HD2 with 3.03.0000 SPL, 2.15.50.14 radio, ROM 3.14.479.2 (04666) WWE.
I tried to boot SuperRAM_FroYo_V1.5.
Everything is ok, but when green HTC logo appears, phone is restarting to Windows... Can someone tell me what I need to do to boot Android ? I tried to search, but I dont find answer.
Thanks.
Looking into it farther, it's looking like when i try to install from clockworkmod recovery (3.0.0.5) that I have booting off my sd-card, the install goes far too wuick. it doesn't even create partitions or anything. Could it be the wp7 rom caused some areas of the phone to be 'locked' or something similar?

You have reformatted your SD Card to original size after using WP7, have you? If not, download Panaspnic SD Formatter and format your SD card using that.
Are you guys making sure you have right CWR system layout size for the ROM you're trying to flash? That's usually the problem if it won't get past the first Android bootscreen.
Task 29
Flash radio
Reformat sdcard
Flash magdlr1.13
Flash cwm recovery with correct partition size.150, 200mb etc.
Flash rom
Tbe task 29 and sdcard reformat should revers any possibilities of something still hanging around from wp7

Only use this if just flashing the correct CWR partition won't work. There's also no need to reflash the radio. Task 29 only formats the NAND area.
Yeah, I did a full set of partitions on my sd card. not sure it was needed as wp7 didn't recognise the card.
Depends on which task 29 he finds in his search. Also if this is somehow radio related (seriously doubt) why not reflash it anyways, not gonna hurt. Since we dont know exactly whats wrong why not just redo eveything. Only takes about 5 minutes. And pretty much guaranteed to boot

Full set of partitions? Meaning you've got a FAT32 first partition and a Ext3/4 second partition? What CWR do you have installed though? It might be the wrong size for the ROM you're trying to flash. You can check what size CWR partition you have by opening the flash.cfg file (inside of your CWR folder) and find the line with 'system ya | 300' etc.

Oh. Guessing u have a leo512 and partitioning sdcard for apps2 sd. Wp7 still got ahold of your sdcard and did something.

Yeah. I have the partitions set up as follows
1. Fat32 13gigs (ish)
2. Ext4 1gig
3. Ext4 350mb
3. linux swap 150gig.
the version of my clockworkmod recovery thing is v.3.0.0.5 and is running off my sd card, not actually installed on the phone. This has all worked for me fine until i put wp7 on, now nothing seems to be working. sigh.
Running off your SD card as in the intrid and zImage file are in there? I suggest you just update your CWR to the newest version (1.3). It doesn't need those files to be copied to the SD Card and runs off NAND. In MAGLDR it has it's own menu too. (AD Recovery). For me, I just have a load of different recovery folders with different partition sizes but it's not needed. I suggest you download the 150M CWR and then just change the partition size to whatever is needed. You just change the System ya | -150- to whatever size is needed. It'll probably be in the first post of the ROM you're downloading.

You need to format your whole sdcard. Whatever your using to format isnt seeing everything. Some partition types are only seen by linux. What partition tool are you using?

I used gparted to give it it's fresh lot of partitions
Have you tried what I said to do?
Ok, got recovery flashed in and running out of magldr. When it comes to partitioning the sd card, what is the advantage of 4 partitions over 3, as some rom threads say to partition 4, some say 3.
You mean an Ext3/4 partition? I honestly don't know and I just use an Ext3 partition as it's easier to do on XP. Both work though fine though.
Have you flashed your ROM yet?

CLK and MAGLDR are the two different bootloaders used to get android on to the hd2's nand. american clk nand is the rom for the clk bootloader while amercian magldr nand is the rom for magldr bootloader.
If you dont know what clk and magldr are or what nand is then you google it. or search here in the forum before posting, everything has been explained, usually more than once, then over and over again, by various different people with various different guides.

I think Ill keep MAGDLR ... I just need to solve two problems:
1. how to create partition on my SD cart to extend internal memory (because in my american android I have only 80 MB free). I know how to do it in CLK but I have no idea how to do it in MAGDLR
2. somehow make my opera mobile browser play flash videos properly.

For problem one, download the free tool Mini Tool Partition Wizard. Use the Home Edition.
Steps to partition sdcard:
1. If possible turn off device, take out sdcard, use a sdcard reader to connect micro sdcard to pc/laptop.
2. Backup all sdcard content to pc/laptop.
3. Open partition wizard, delete partition on sdcard
4. Now, first create a fat32 partition, with 32kb cluster, make it primary, leave atleast 500mb free space. THIS HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE THE NEXT PARTITION.
5. Then using the remaining space, create a second partition, also primary, forrmat ext3 or ext4 depending on your rom, with 4kb cluster. THIS HAS TO BE THE SECOND PARTITION.
Apply all changes then put sdcard back into device, turn it on, run data2sd script or a2sd+ script depending on rom then you should be good to go.
I would recommend searching the american android thread for data2sd or a2sd+ scripts and instructions before following my advice.
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for device breakages or sdcard loss of life, it is not my fault, blame god, technically he created everything so its his fault.

And you don't have a usb card reader? in that case boot into clockworkmod recovery, i'm guessing you know that? go down to mounts and storage, the go to mass storage, the bottom one, plug usb cable in and that will mount sdcard to pc.
Then follow my instructions from before.
When you say!" I know how to do it in clk but not magldr",,, are you sure you don't mean you know how to do it in cwm? Cwm and clk are not the same. Cwm on clk is the same as cwm on magldr.
Clk is not cwm.
Into magldr, start cwm, advanced, partition SD card, done.

That works tooo but if your rom needs a ext4 partition then you cant use that as cwm partitions using ext3. but if thats all yo need then fine that works jut make sure you dont use a swap space unless your rom requires it.
And i was meaning did you know ho to get into cwm on magldr and obviously you did so thats good. And yes i know cwm is not clk cwm is a recovery, clk is a bootloader, i was the one that pointed you to that info on clk and magldr

I very appreciate your help. Im beginner in installing android and to be honest Im totaly lost.
so if I understand it right I have to do this ? :
0. install wm 6,5 to erase everything (I want to start from very beginning)
1. install Magldr
2. install clock work mode CWM
3. make a partition like this:
-Boot into the Clockwork Mod menu
-Go down to 'Advanced' and select (by pressing 'Call Button')
-Select 'Partition SD Card'
-Select Size of required partition not sure then 1024M is a good size)
-Make ABSOLUTELY sure you want to continue and then select 0M Swap Size
4. go back to magldr and install again wm 6,5 to erase everything except the created partition
5. install magldr again
6. install american android magldr NAND
Do I understand it right ?

No CLK and MAGLDR are two different bootloaders. Obviously the links are just dead for american android CLK nand.
American android MAGLDR is installed through clockworkmod recovery using the MAGLDR bootloader.
AND
American Android CLK is installed through clockworkmod recovery using the CLK bootloader.
CWM works on both bootloaders, that is why you are getting confused.
There are plenty guides to use to make sure you can do it with out problems, you just need to search. Dont do anything until you know what you are doing, just read and re-read until you understand what has to be done and what the different aspects of the HD2 android are.
I don't want to be mean by saying this but if you can't understand what is happening you shouldn't try and put android on your HD2

Did you flash the correct partition size (170MB)? Do you have an EXT Partition on your SD card? The translation isn't the best so I'm going to assume that you installed the kernel successfully but are stuck in a bootloop of some sort.

Enabling storage of EXT4 on SD-card

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.

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.

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.

[Q] New Rom for HTC HD2, NexusHD2-JellyBean-CM10.1 V2.1 [NativeSD]

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?
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.
