ClockworkMod #2 Flash without PC

Do you want to know how to flash without a PC with any img based ROM? These instructions apply to any img based ROM but I posted here because I discover it as I am try to switch between different DL Desire Builds.

Okay, you will need to flash the ClockworkMod with the new partition. After that you can install system.img via advance restore feature without a PC.

Any updated applied will need to be re-apply.

1. If your ROM is not ClockworkMod Enabled already Backup your data with backup plug-in. For anyone who is ClockworkMod Enabled already, you can skip 5~7.

2. Unpack CWM-Restore-Files.zip to the Root of your SD

3. Make a copy of the DL.Desire.Series folders under /clockworkmod/backup and rename it to something you can identify (e.g. DL.DesireZ.v3.4) Note: The folder can not contain space otherwise you will get a MD5 Mismatch error

4. copy the system.img of the ROM you want to flash into that folder on your SD

5. Download ClockworkMod 250M from Here and unpack to a folder on your PC.

6. replace the flash.cfg in the ClockworkMod 1.3 folder from one of the file included below. Please Note ARA ROM are bigger than 270M so you will need to use the 290M version if you want to test ARA ROMs. Also for None DL Desire Series ROMs, you may need to edit the flash.cfg. Make sure size of system partition is bigger than the system.img file you want to flash

7. Flash the ClockworkMod

8. Boot AD Recovery from MAGLDR

9. Choose Backup / Restore -> Advance Restore -> <Folder of your system.img> -> Restore System. This will flash your phone with the new ROM.

10. Use the restore plugin to restore Data if needed.

Any time you need to flash a new ROM, just copy the Dl.Desire.Series Folder under /clockworkmod/backup and place the system.img in there. it can be done with a file manager without a PC.

You will also have full ClockworkMod backup feature which will now allow you to keep customization / patches / Update_DL apply to the system.

This also minimize ROM corruption from flashing via MAGLDR. I found sometimes MAGLDR could flash a corrupted the ROM. I think this is due to quality of the USB cable and not MAGLDR itself. but the fact MAGLDR do not check for errors did not help either. When you are copying to SD card via PC, the FAT32 has CRC check build-in (you will get CRC error if the file is corrupted in most case). Then flash through the internal system eliminate the chance of bad USB cable.

a word of CAUTION: This work perfectly for TMOUS, but for people who use sd-ext. I do not know if ClockworkMod format sd-ext before restore. if it dose, this could undo the performance tuning done on the ext partition. My suggestion is to use advance restore only and not full restore and use backup and restore plugin when dealing with sd-ext data.

Also, you can create / partition your SD using ClockworkMod, Just REMEMBER partition ERASE ALL FILES on your SD. Backup the files to a PC before you do that.

System UIDs Inconsistent BIG ISSUE!

Please help me! It's a disaster!

So as it often happen after some day brillant usage the rom "automatically" crashes by itself!

so I decided to format again SD (FAT + 1024 EXT4 + 512 EXT4), install my favourite ROM (DL Desire Z v.3.4), and restore all data and setting through the famtastic Dandiest apposite tool (restore)...

but this time after restoring at the first boot the "System UIDs Inconsistent" and all apps crashes!!!

Someone know how to restore everyting without setting again everyting one after the others and install again every app one after the others??
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shail00:
Can someone please help me that why system is not creating ext4 partiotion?

Its taking too much time but never finished.

I format my sd card in windows xp, via panasonic sd formatter, even in the gparted(as fat32) and continued withe steps.

The operation tends to stuck at the ext4 partition creation.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tmotard:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11188756&postcount=3249

why formated the fat partition ?

never done that, only delete android folder and .XXXX folders, thats enougth for me before installing a rom.

when i had this error, i format the two ext4 partition with gparted.

i use titanium backup for the restore but a don't use restore for system data anymore, only for applications and applications data.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tmotard:
why don't you create the two ext4 partitions with gparted too ??:confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Pooper:
Same here - everything was working, then after a reboot everything force-closed.... bored now...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Williero:
I just want to make sure i got it right. I copy the Desire_DL file to the root of my sd card, then i copy both of the files from the "upgrade.DL.DesireZ.v3.5" over to the root of the sd card and press yes when asked to overwrite (wont this delete the original Desire_DL file (259Mb) and replace it with the Desire_DL (4.22Mb) from the upgrade folder). Then i install Magldr and everything is ready to reboot?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] freak007:
What vpn are you using ? openvpn, pptp ?

For openvpn, you need to do it in a terminal:

su

cd /system/xbin/bb

ln -s ../busybox route

ln -s ../busybox ifconfig

Anyway, send your logs to see what happens.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] freak007:
You can't restore your data unless you reboot twice your Leo.

The ext4 storage copy data on the second reboot. Then all is ok after that. If you try to restore on the first boot, you may have a lot of problems.

Have you used format_ext4=9 to create partitions ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] B-Man2005:
dandi yould you bring other languages to tha arab build ???

couse arab would be the perfect build for me ! couse its desire hd and not themed ???

is it possible ?????

thanks in advance !!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dandiest:
Wow, this is perfect, will link it to my 1st page after I go back, thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] overshadowss:
flashed ARA.v1.1

-HTC Sync not working (my phone explorer works)

-Wifi not working (error)

-Market not working ! (I ll try the fix first post)

-Booting is so slow :rolleyes:

tried to update the kernel to "mdj.10.4oc" Wifi works..but dialer always force close, can't use my phone anymore :D

I had the same result with kernel "rafpigna 1r7 OC"

so .. what's the point here ? :D exactly !
[HD2 Android NAND Development] confar:
with kernel rafpigna is slower against gpc... mdj 10 sucks!!!

but battery drain is higher with gpc.... in rafpingna is normal

for me in all kernels works fine... you must have a problem, maybe sd
[HD2 Android NAND Development] overshadowss:
I don't have a SD problem I m coming from 2 Flashes were working fine ! otherwise I have 2 SD cards ..

The question is : are you using this build ? (ARA.v1.1)

does Sync and Wifi work for u ?

Thanks

Edit:

SOLVED

reinstalled the same gpc kernel solved the problems.

dandiest ,

I'm using Desire Z 3.5 now, I saw there have updates , but have 4 version ,

So which is the version for v3.5 upgrade ?

many thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dandiest:
update2.

found an issue for the new v4.0 DesireZ after I manged to get full languages and locations(the stock version only has English and French), the boot animation disappeared, do I need to give up the boot animation and just upload it? beside the boot animation, other functions work perfectly.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] apollo13hk:
Cool ,

boot animation , I accept a picture (like HTC logo) , but don't remove it, because it may cannot know the loading status ....

Many thanks ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jzack:
can anyone help me out on having this nand version? ive tried the sd version and i think its the best yet for now.. so can you give more details on how to install the nand version? because ive been searching for it and they have plenty of methods such using daf via usb flash, using the clockwork on sd, and install from magldr. So can you give me more detail on the installation part? Im newbie here.. sorry if my request is kinda noob.. lol
[HD2 Android NAND Development] parzifal:
full languages & locations...wow...sounds cool :cool:

go go go dandiest....can't wait, anyhow who cares about boot animation? :D

my popcorn is ready...:p
[HD2 Android NAND Development] apollo13hk:
i don't care the boot animation also , just don't in dark screen okay

but i need multi language , i'm zh-TW ...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dandiest:
no, unfortunately, no picture during the boot time after the HTC logo, totally dark, till there is a short music when system boot into sense successfully :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] B-Man2005:
dandi cum on ... give us new stuff :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kefir.net:
Yes, who cares about boot animation, it's not so important, les't test new ROM as soon as possible! :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dandiest:
hmm, btw, freak has worked out a lot of new features for the new init, but I have no time to test it due to the dammit boot animation.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] BillTheCat:
Disregard this report. I confirmed with QuickOffice that the files I'm using are not supported because they have some "advanced features" such as cell comments and embedded images which the program cannot process.

Sorry for the false alarm.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] B-Man2005:
i would test if a could get the whole new build then :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dandiest:
eventually get the boot animation work, but realize that HTC changed something that the boot animation will only be displayed nearly end of the boot time. need more investigation. :(

but time to sleep. continue it tomorrow.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] hrockh:
looking forward to 4.0

I didn't try desire z before is it better than the HD ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shail00:
Am trying but the processing is going on & on....waited again for 2 hours but no luck.....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Snarksneeze:
Desire Z is a smaller phone. Some people complain that the graphics aren't as rich as the Desire HD builds, due to the fact that the HD has a screen with the same proportions as ours.

The Desire Z also has a physical keyboard, so Sense allows the Home Screens to rotate (one of my favorite features of this build), but that can be disabled.

For me, the Desire Z first caught me with the "Skins" option and the "Auto-Sync" widget. I believe that this is also offered on the HD builds now, but I have no intention of switching over to see ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Snarksneeze:
Unless you are using a very, very slow computer (think: Original Apple), the process shouldn't take that long.

It looks to me like there was an issue with your card. Perhaps it was unplugged or your PC unmounted it?

The longest gparted ever took on my 16GB C2 card was 5 minutes.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Snarksneeze:
I am running the T-Mobile US HD2, but am running the EXT4 version of DZ build 3.5 (much faster system i/o).

Since Android is constantly reading/writing to my card, I can't safely put the phone in "Disk Drive" mode. Doing so almost invariably causes issues, since the whole card gets unmounted, not just the FAT32 partition.

I've tried switching over to MAGLDR's Mass Storage option, but this has its own problems (even 1.13, which was supposed to solve the issue).

My card reader seems to be faulty, so I am left looking for a solution.

I'm currently using Dropbox to transfer large files (like my PSX ROMs :D), but large files take forever to upload and forever to download.

I've tried "multimount" from the market, but it also unmounts the whole SD card.

If anyone has a solution for me, please let me know :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nightcraw:
Install ClockWorkMod. It runs on full Android/Linux kernel and do not have the Data corruption issues like the MAGLDR. Have you check your USB cable?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] D.O.C:
Can anyone tell me what type and size the second and third partitions arewhen using format_ext4=?

first partition must be fat32 primary already know that

the other ones are.....????

This is because I want to do it manually...

thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tmotard:
Perhaps you have a problem with your card.... or your card reader. Possible to test on other pc?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] qaliza:
I did all the above steps and I get this error in MAGLDR "NAND kernel open failed"

Hi there! I still use the build v3.3 final. Can I use the upgrade to v3.5 from v3.3 ?

I really don't wanna flash anything and loose all apps and settings because my phone is kinda perfect right now:D ..however, I see there are some major improvements in a new version that I want to try out. Thank you
[HD2 Android NAND Development] redplate:
you should read the changelog. it's not possible.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] galatei:
I used EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Home Edition to create ext3 partitions, which then were converted to ext4 on the first boot, with format_ext4=1 option in config.txt.

EDIT: It's best to use sdcard reader to do partitioning, than to mount it with the phone.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] galatei:
I upgraded to 3.5 from 3.3 final, with no problems.

My config on sdcard is :

14GB FAT32 / 1024MB ext4 / 512MB ext4 (Swap)

I first took backup using backup/restore scripts provided by dandiest, then upgraded to 3.4 using magldr 1.13 USB flasher (make sure to set format_ext4 to 0 in config.txt on your SDCARD under Desire_DL\, rebooted twice - no problems.

Then used Update_DL from 3.5 update package - again, mind the config.

No problems at all, just reboot twice after that again. 3.5 seems a lot faster for me than 3.4/3.3.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] B-Man2005:
here dandi look down ... this is what happened with users of a desire hd 1.84 !!!! they got no weather !!!!

i hope you make a release of 1.83 or 1.85 base for desire hd next time !!!!! i hope so ... cause i need weather update

this happened on a imilka desire hd rom !!!!!! no weather for some users with 1.84 base

I feel your pain... I've tried what I can with no luck. For some folk it is working well, for the unlucky ones it is not working.

That's life... some you win, some you lose.

Sod it... I'm going to buy an iPhone and get a boyfriend

very enlightening :p

that's what he wanted to avoid. it's not possible without flashing 3.4.

youtube

Hey guys..

I have just a minor problem which maybe irritating especially since everything else works just PERFECT. My YOUTUBE app sometimes( actually pretty often) crashes my phone. when I try to exit the fullscreen mode it seems to freeze in the middle of the flyout animation... and the phone reboots.Does any1 have the same issue? THX 4 any advice...

Cheers
[HD2 Android NAND Development] timoshina:
Thanks man! I re-read the main post again. I think I found another solution with Titanium Backup, so now I can flash new rom :)

Now, one last question.. Can I DUAL BOOT this ROM with Windows Phone 7?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] galatei:
Still, don't see what's the problem with that, I had about 50 apps installed, all on ext4 partition on sdcard, and I didn't loose a bit of it. Flashing doesn't take ages, it's 10 minutes. Not sure why people even bother posting here, if they expect nice and clean OTA kind of update. It's all in shambles here, and one has to get used to it. Trials and errors/failures are common. It's easy enough not to complain.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] akromatic:
Im sure you can dual boot with sd version.

Anyway would it be possible to add more screen unlock options?

When ever i use pattern unlock i still have to slide down to unlock and that anoys me

strange problem with radio

hi!

First, i really like your version of android for the HD2.

Now my problem:

When i used winmob 6.5 and radio versions > 2.06.51.07 my phone restarted every 15-30 minutes.

After some testing i found version 2.06.51.07 to be stable and not crashing my HD2 any more (i did like 30 tests, installing different roms and radios, thats my conclusion).

I now had to install radio 2.15.50.14 in order to install magldr and the android version.

now again, my phone keeps on restarting a couple times a day.

the only thing i can think of is, because i am using a sub provider (bob, austria) who is roaming in a different net (a1, austria) that this is maybe somehow causing these restarts.

So i have now some questions:

is android using the radio as wm 6.5?

If yes, is there any way to change the radio in android?

is there any other thing which might cause this issue?

Many thanks in advance,

Riccardo

@Shai

Might be an issue with the cd, if you own a usb drive, run it off there or reburn, should only take a minute or two for the partitions to work
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mouzaihem:
I've never done it myself, but I've seen people say they've changed their radio to a lower one to conserve battery and what not. So I believe there is a way
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nightcraw:
You would flash the Radio the same way you do in WM, in the Tricolor screen. Just make sure you are using Radio Only ROM. Radio flash to a specific area of NAND that does not overwrite, ANDROID or MAGLDR.

Just a NOTE for other users before they start flashing Radio. x.xx.51.xx only work on specific EU version HD2. it will BRICK TMOUS (LEO1024) if you flash one of those.

im on simple mobile.... i have edited the proper files to receive clear mms.... but after i transfer them to the phone they still come in blurry.... i use root explorer to check and see if the files have the correct info in them after copying and they do.... but mms is still blurry.... any help would be appreciated....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] timoshina:
Ok guys! I'm very confused now!

I made 3 partitions on my sd card like in the tutorial in the main thread's FAQ http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11063159&postcount=2588, my SD card looks like this:

FAT32-13.6Gb, EXT4-1024Mb, EXT4-512Mb.

I kind of stuck here.. because I don't understand the instructions. I've read thousands of topics and I just don't get it.. the mechanism of how it works :( First of all, all this partitioning story is for faster I/O right?

Second, what category does it belong? Nand, SD or MAGLDR? (that what makes me confused in "How to install") Does the Android system get install completely to SD card?

Also what settings should be in "config.txt" for these partitions?

And last, please tell me step by step how do I install this DL DesireZ v3.4 + V3.5 upgrade from v3.4?

Thank you! sorry for too many questions..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] yianniv:
I am not an expert, so if I state something stupid, please correct me:

You can load this (and other) Android ROM directly from WM, using haret.exe and clrcad.exe. But the rom needs some place to install the apps you download and to save the user settings. Here comes data.img or the second EXT4 partition on the SD card (the 1st is FAT32, and should always exist). If you don't use either, your phone will run out of memory very soon and Android will crash.

I personally prefer the data.img, which is very easy to backup to the PC.

The data.img is mounted by Android as a partition, and all the programs you download are installed there. The same happenes with the EXT4 partition, which, since the systems speaks directly to the SD card and not through a loop device, should be faster than data.img.

Both data.img and the EXT4 partition allow you to upgrade Dandiest's roms without losing any user data and apps. It is VEEERY convenient, thanks Dandiest!

I am not sure what a third partition (EXT4) is used for, I think it's for swapping. I haven't used it, I am still using only the first fat32 partition and data.img without complaint, but one could argue that I don't know what I'm missing!

Now, regarding NAND, SD and Magldr:

It refers to how you install the rom, and if it replaces the OS already installed on the phone (for first time users, this is Windows Mobile). The data.img or EXT4 methods can be used by all 3 install methods.

If you use the SD method without Magldr, both OS's coexist, because you run haret.exe and clrcad.exe from windows and no harm is done.

Magldr is a system that is installed and loaded directly after the boot loader of the phone and gives you some extra boot options. BUT the moment you install it it kills WM. There is no going back unless you re-flash a WM ROM. For further instructions, you should search the 1st post, there are links to the various pages. Pay attention to the Radio requirements for magldr installation.

With Magldr installed, you can still load Android as before from SD, but you have to change in the config.txt the boot_mode=1 (SD) to boot_mode=2 (MAGLDR)

Since after installing Magldr WM is dead, you can take the next step (but after reading carefylly ALL the instructions in the relevant pages) and install Android in the main phone memory - where WM used to be, in the NAND memory. It has the advantage of using less battery than the SD method. You still have to change the config.txt and remove the boot_mode variable alltogether (or change it to boot_mode=0 but I haven't tried that).

I think that's the gist of it, but if someone wants to add/correct something, please do.

Just a note: The 3.4 and 3.5 versions have a video sync problem, i.e. the videos you record lose audio/video synchronisity even seconds after starting. No one has offered any fix yet, and this question has been asked by me and others before.

If you manage to find the 3.3 version go with that, but you will have to find the fix for market download and HTC sync (not very helpful, is this?)

Good luck.

Does it have to do something with a config.txt, like I have to try some tweaks? How do I fix that?
