Little help.

I have flashed CWM and done all the initial processes and managed to flash a HD ROM. Only thing is now I want to use another ROM. I have downloaded the ROM which is in zip format and copied it to the root of my sd card. The current HD rom is still on the sd card. When I run to install the new ROM it keeps rebooting itself.

Basically what I'm asking is what do I need to do to use a different ROM through CWM.

Many thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to install af403 ext4 data2sd HD ver 1.0a and I keep getting the error config file doesn't exist and can't get past this error like some others on here. The ROM isn't squashed and all I've done previous to this is partition the SD card using Paragon Partition Manager so that it has an EXT3 partition to save the data to.

Can anyone help please? I checked the previous ROM I had and this also didn't have a config file so why does it ask for one when running DFT?

Also I'm just reformatting the SD card now and putting it back to a single FAT32 partition should I partition the SD card before or after following the directions here? If I don't the ROM obviously won't boot.

Thanks

EDIT: Managed to get it to boot after modifying the flash.cfg file to the following:

Didn't work.

I just decided to use parts of the original with modified versions as this ROM didn't have a boot.img or system.img file. Will try creating a recovery later and let you know if it works but the ROM has flashed and phone is working.

EDIT2: The recovery didn't work so made a few more changes and bingo working perfectly with this:

misc ya 1M

recovery ya|ro 3M

boot ya|ro filesize+2M

system ya|boot|ro filesize+2M system.bin

cache ya 3M

userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

If your ROM doesn't include a boot.img or system.img use the above and you'll still be able to use recovery and your favourite NAND non CWM ROM and have the ability to backup using CWM. Enjoy :D

installed cm7 without a hitch and updated one time since.

now im thinking about trying a different build. maybe a desire build...

do i start from the beginning, or do i just run the zip off of sd like an update?

SD card from 16 GB to 200 MB

I Followed the instruction.

But, I was wondering about my space in the SD card. before installing the CW Recovery, I had 16 GB in my SD card, after installing it and flashing af NAND ROM I have only 200 mb

does It mean, that I have to buy a new 16 GB SD card?

cuz i tried to see if that was only in the phone, but when i put mu SD card in PC, it showed the same.

Not working

I am not quite a noob but definitely aren't reaching master status anytime soon either. I foolowed the directions step - by - step and after booting into CWM and choosing the rom from sd card my phone will say the rom was loaded successfully. It stays on that screen until I hit reboot phone, on CWM menu, and the phone reboots to white htc screen. Phone stays there a bit then turns itself off and reboots again to white htc screen....over..n...over...n....over. What sis i f up?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonsson4000:
backup with titanium or clockwork or both

download the new zip to your sd card

reboot phone into clockwork wipe cache and dalvik

install new zip off sd card and reboot
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cobhc:
Do you mean the zip file that includes the daf.exe and system.img, etc?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonsson4000:
no you want the cwm (clockwork mod) zip if you have clockwork on your device

if you dont...then get it first. much easier to upgrade builds with it
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cobhc:
I'm still confused. How would I flash a new NAND (Non CWM) rom over what I have on my phone at the moment? Or am I still imited to CWM builds?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonsson4000:
im not too sure but i think you just have to reflash a new nand rom if thats all you want. you can probably use titanium backup to save a lot of info.

might as well just get clockwork to save yourself the hassle in the future. its easy

edit: if you just want to reflash a new nand just boot into magldr and choose usb flash and flash the new rom
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cobhc:
I've got CWM already, I think I'll stick to either CWM or Nand and not try combining the two.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonsson4000:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] scariola:
Probably because you came from the windows phone 7 rom. You must format your card that shows 200mb, after, it will be 16gb again.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DroidTh3ory:
Wow... I come back from vacation and the ROM development has really taken off around here. BTW, this method worked perfectly with Nafdroid's Ginger ROM.

Also, I posted this when the DEV's weren't really giving Clockwork any love. All though, alot of people do have hanging boot screens and boot loops when jumping straight to recovery... this is a great way around that for the initial install.

Remember, those having issues.... you Still need to flash the DAF.exe in the Clockwork to establish the partition table prior to flashing the NAND ROM. The flash.cfg editing will keep that integrity after that.

And finally after you have completed this.. you can use CWR ROMS to update exclusively. No need to run NAND ROMS after doing this. this was done to give you a gateway to the ClockworkMod Recovery promise land. :)

Good to be back.

Welcome back home :) i have a question .When i follow the step :

5: Open NAND ROM you are flashing and delete the "flash.nfg file ONLY from the ROM. Put the "flash.nfg" from the downloaded folder in the NAND rom folder. I can't flash the ROM did i do something wrong ? i already got 1gb partition on the sd card fresh .Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DroidTh3ory:
Which ROM? Like I mentioned in the OP... Some of the ROMS using "tricky" partition requirements for DATA2SD and SQUASHFS with not work using this method. ROMS supporting APP2SD do work. Personally tested.

It says that there is a .zip version on that ROM. You can just flash that via Clockwork.

I would like to thank you for this very helpful and informative thread, I used the described method without complication to install mdj 2.6 gingerbread + cyanogen 7 with cwm, and its perfect, I've flashed mods and such through cwm with no problems
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DroidTh3ory:
Glad it could help.... A lot of time when jumping into straight into CWMR, the SD Card (16GB Especially) cause the Boot screen hanging, etc. Plus, after.... just flashing a update will cause the same issues (somethimes). Starting with a formatted SD card, then partitioning in Clockwork for App2SD with ease... following this, You can keep the partition structure with the stability of a NAND flash.

That is what I was trying to accomplish with this. :)

How to flash CWM 1.3 with NAND rom?

i want to flash CWM1.3 with NAND rom (DL3.3).

with CWM 1.2 i can flash NAND rom and still run CWM (with zimage on sd), i can do this only if i change the flash.cfg to:

misc ya 1M

recovery ya|ro 3M

boot ya|ro filesize+2M

system ya|boot|ro filesize system.img

cache ya 3M

userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

(DL3.3 rom without BOOT.IMG file!)

I'm really lost. After I formatted the SD card and placed the initrd and zimage in the root of the SDcard, I attempt to boot AD SD, but it gets stuck at Go go go!

[HD2 Android NAND Development] XsceneXhippieX:
I have noticed that the combined efforts of many devs here on xda have made nand clockwork recovery a possibility with magldr 1.13 and cwm 1.3. I was wondering if it was possible to implement this into a nand DFT rom. What i mean is the possibility of flashing not only a rom through magldr, but also include the appropriate flash.cfg and files to make the process into a single nand flash that will put the correct partitions for clockwork to flash .zip files from SD, the rom to nand, and also clockwork to nand. I think all it would take is an edited flash.cfg and somehow combining a rom being flashed with clockwork being flashed all at once from one ruu or daf.exe, or maybe this can't work... just a thought, and after flashing with SD card removed, you can boot into ad recovery (SD inserted now of course) and restore data from previous versions if you made a backup

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Digital Outcast:
Basically, yes. As long as they use the different ROM's use the same partition layout then all you have to do is wipe your data partition and apply the zipped ROM from your SD card.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DroidTh3ory:
Since Clockwork ROMS seem to be "finally" being the Dev's first choice This Tutorial will be updated with some direction to "Start from scratch and setup the HD2 with a Sure fire way to succeed in installing Clockwork on NAND and flashing .ZIP ROMS".

From my findings there seems to be TOO MUCH info around with regards to Clockwork and SD Formatting that most of it is being lost in translation. that needs to stop, by following the correct steps this can be done easily.

I have started it and I am putting it together now, but I have been pretty busy lately. When it is done I hope it helps clarify what needs to be done to make this painless.

I am trying to put CWM in with prj clean desire rom. I am doing it a little differently than what the original post says because I want to use the newest version of CWM, not the older SD version. I just replace the original flash.cfg with my modified one. Here is the original included with prj's clean desire:

boot ya|boot|ro filesize+2M boot.img

system ya filesize system.img

cache ya 40M

userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

Here is what I edited it to:

boot yboot|ro 5M boot.img

system ya filesize system.img

misc ya 1M

recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img

cache ya 3M

userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

Also tried this:

boot ya|boot|ro filesize+2M boot.img

system ya filesize system.img

misc ya 1M

recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img

cache ya 3M

userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

And I also tried putting a set size for system.img instead of the filesize option.

I get the same result every time, when I go to recovery in magldr, I get error saying "no boot sources" or something like that. I forgot to mention above, I also put recovery-raw.img in the directory with daf.exe . What can I do to get this to work? I just want the newest CWM in with prj's clean desire. When I flash with daf.exe and magldr in flasher mode, according to what's on the screen when it's doing it's partitioning and formatting, it all looks like it went well to me, but still no recovery. Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: I have tried many more different things in config.txt than what I mentioned above and I still cannot get it to go into recovery without no boot sources error. Do I maybe need to run android once first before trying recovery after flashing?

Also forgot to say above that the exact same config file:

boot yboot|ro 5M boot.img

system ya filesize system.img

misc ya 1M

recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img

cache ya 3M

userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

works fine for nexushd2 gingerbread with a set system partition size. I got the idea and the extra lines to add in from the nexushd2 gingerbread build. Why does it work for it but not when I try it with different build?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DroidTh3ory:
The issue as stated in the OP is with the squashfs(ed)... Even using the Original method in the post.

Using the NEW Clockwork will just not work. It flashes the layout the clockwork requires to function correctly. When the NAND is flash it wipes Clockwork.

My only suggestion if you have your heart set on this ROM is to convert the NAND build to a CWM file. Flash Magldr 1.13/ClockworkMod/ Drop the. ZIP on your SD and flash it.

One other "possible" way, and I stress "possible" is... set up clockwork the old way by dropping CWR files on the SD/Flashing the old CMW DAF/Boot into SD Recovery to make sure it is right.

Then flash your ROM and let it boot up... Reboot and go into CWR off the SD... when Clockwork starts you WILL see errors, ignore them.

Make a backup in CWR.

Now, make in magldr/usb flasher/flash the new Clockwork. Boot into it VIA AD Recovery and restore the backup you made.

Like I said, this is a hail mary and may not work, but I might. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] diesburg:
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that out later and see if it works.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] diesburg:
I never used SD version of CWM, so I messed around with it to see how it works. I was able to boot into recovery just by dropping the files initrd and zimage to the root of my card with no flashing using daf.(and at least just loading it up into the main screen of recovery, I saw no errors) I saw in the old sd version in the config file:"recovery ya|ro 5M" If it is loading recovery from sd, what is that partition used for?

So, if I install my android rom with daf, then load recovery from sd, make a backup, my question is, will this backup be compatible with the new CWM? If it is, then I can just flash to new CWM after backing up with old sd version and then restore it after new CWM is flashed.

And about converting my rom to CWM zip file. I forget what thread, but I did find a script that did this for you. I tried it out and it wouldn't work. My guess is that the META-INF files aren't right for the rom. Any suggestions on that? I did mess around a little and try META-INF files from other roms but still wouldn't work, I could only get to boot screen in android bootup and it wouldn't get past the boot screen.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] T-Macgnolia:
At the OP not being critical of your guide as I can see it has helped a lot of people out. Also I have not read the intior thread but you really should ad the new way to install CWM by just using USB Flasher in MAGLDR and flashing CWM that way and then go to AD recovery and boot CWM flash.cf as you do not lose CWM when changing ROMs. This can do away with the need to chang f. It is alot easier and simpler for peole to do. Less chance for a mistake. Also you should include how to do a Nandroid backup befor you change your ROM and then restore after, this does away with the need to transfer your personal stuff befor flashing to a new ROM. The backup backs up everything.

Just wanted to add a little insite here is all. Keep up the good work. :D
