CLOCKWORK RECOVERY AND NAND HARMONY

Tutorial For Using ClockworkMOD Recovery With NAND

After numerous posts pertaining to Clockwork/NAND/Backing Up/Etc. Along with converting to .ZIP from NAND and flashing updates or fixes to both ROM Build styles I thought this may be helpful.

You CAN still have the FULL benefits of ClockworkMod Recovery even with some NAND builds. This is harmony (John Lennon song maybe). :)

Anyway, if you follow this VERY EASY step by step you will end up with want you are looking for. It may sound like a lot of steps, and some may sound "unneeded"... but I have flash EVER ROM on this board do it the same way and I have NEVER had a flashing issue. :) So, whatever it maybe... It works.

THIS WORKS WITH MOST NAND ROMS>>>>> WE HAVE SEEN SOME COMPATIBILITY ISSUES WITH ROMS REQUIRING SPECIAL PARTITONS OR SQUASH.

FIRST>>> Download the SD Card Formatter 3.0 From HERE>> http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/eula

Reboot your phone and hold the RED Power button to enter MAGLDR Menu/Select USB Mass... Create a folder on your desktop and drag and drop off your SD Card ONLY the files you want to save (i.e... Pictures, Wallpapers, Music, .APK's, ROMS, Files, Titanium Backup, Etc). DO NOT save any Android folders, System, Etc. Next, Open the SD Card Formatter/Select Format. Now you can drag all you files you saved back to your card. (NOTE: Now would be a good time to Drop the Clockwork zImage and initrd.gz files on the root of the SD Card.)

DO NOT PLUG IN THE USB UNTIL INSTRUCTED!

Download the NAND Version of the ROM you want, the flash.cf file for the proper partition layout, and the "copy_to_sdcard" files for Clockwork. (ZIPPED AT TEH BOTTOM OF THIS)

Unzip your ROM and the file you download from here containing the Flash.cf file and the Clockwork Recovery files. Open both the ROM folder and the Folder from here next to each other/ Drag the flash.cf file from your download folder and replace the flash.cf file in the ROM folder. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER FILES OR FOLDERS.

Now, Reboot your phone and hold the RED Power button to enter the MAGLDR Menu/Select AD SD Boot/ You will now be in Clockwork Recovery.

FOLLOW THIS STEP BY STEP>>> Remember, sometimes short cuts get you lost. :)

First go into Clockwork, do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset/Wipe Cache(May sound reduntant after the Factory Wipe, but it can't hurt), then Advanced/Wipe Dalvik.

Reboot System/Hold RED Power button to enter MAGLDR Menu/Go to AD Hard Reset, let it finish/then down to Reset. While the phone reboots Hold down RED button to load MAGLDR Menu without invoking a kernel error/Select USB Flasher/ Flash your NAND ROM.

DO NOT FLASH THE CLOCKWORK FILES.. They are not needed because of the modded flash.cf file you put in ROM folder. The told the NAND Flash how to setup the partitions for Clockwork.

Now you have the NAND flashed and you have FULL Clockwork Recovery support.

I hope this lets EVERYBODY enjoy Clockwork along with the seemigly dominat NAND ROM BUILDS.

Now that you have the best of both worlds you can update using Clockwork .ZIP

.... NO NEED to rename the ROMS to "update.zip".. What I do to keep things simple and organized is... I create a folder on my SD Card named "ROMS". Then I just keep all my ROMS in there.

To flash a update you

1: Boot into Clockwork

2: Wipe Cache Partition/Advanced/Wipe Dalvik

3: Install ZIP from SD Card

4: Choose ZIP from SD Card

5: Go to your ROM folder and select which ROM you want.

DONE.

You have the new ROM and saved all your settings and DATA.

All credit goes to the DEVS, I only typed it... :)

DISCLAIMER:::: If your phone explodes or boots up and calls your wife to tell her about your girlfriend... I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE.

I can only guarantee success with this method, when it is done how I have always done it. :)
