if you find CWM boots with the SD only formatted with FAT32 and no EXT4 partition, try using CWM to reformat the SD and it should work (make sure you mount the SD in magldr after rebooting to copy CWM back onto the SD as the partitioning will remove it

ROM Manager
Hi guys, I've tried scanning the thread and can't find the answer so please forgive me if I've missed it...
Is there a way to get ROM Manager to work ?
Is this likely to be fixed ?
Thanks and great work !

Yes. I did this. Originally I have just the NAND and I wanted to go to Nand + CWM but installing CWM broke the NAND.
However I did a Titanium backup first so :
1) Titatium backup
2) Install CWM
3) Reflash Android NAND
4) Titatium Restore.
Yeah... I have only gotten this to work once with two different SD cards.
I went back to a regular DAF flash and then wanted to reflash my phone
with a CWR updated ROM. I followed all the directions as before, and even
used the SD card that did actually work the first time. And, it's been giving
me the same SD kernel open failed bull time and time again.
At this point in time, this method is a bust, and until the chefs get this working
properly, I offer my strong suggestion that releases be made in the standard
DAF method. I will not be supporting any chefs who continue to release ROMs
only in CWR update flashes. It's unreliable. No offense to RaiderX303 or the
CyanogenMod team. But, you guys need to get this more together.
Alternatively, you should post a concise, step-by-step method to flashing/reflashing
to make it work. Honestly, the OP is relatively vague, and provides ZERO useful
troubleshooting. All issue resolutions and troubleshooting should be updated in
your OPs.

ClockworkMod Recovery for HD2 - FAQ
Q.1: Can I keep my Existing NAND ROM before I install CWM?
A.1: No, Backup with other method like Titatium backup before you install CWM.
Q.2: Can I keep my Existing ROM after I installed CWM?
A.2: Yes, You can create as many backup images of your system and data partitions as your SD Card memory space allows.
Q.3: I can not boot Recovery Kernel on SD!
A.3A:
1. Make sure initrd.gz and zImage is at root of your SD
2. Make sure aMAGLDR is set to boot from your root of SD. Use Services->BootSetting->AD SD Dir-> <.>
3. Try Boot AD SD again
A.3B:
1. create a /Recovery at root of your SD and place initrd.gz and zImage there
2. Set Services->BootSetting->AD SD Dir->RECOVERY from your aMAGLDR menu.
3. Try Boot AD SD again
A.3C: Try a different SD card with the method in A & B
A.3D: Upgrade to at least v1.3. Since v1.3 boot from NAND it remove SD compatibility issues.
Q.4: Can I flash NON CWM ROM directly into CWM?
A.4: Most Likely YES, but may depend on the ROM. just edit the flash.cfg that come with the NAND ROM.
for example:
original flash.cfg:
For ClockworkMod 1.2:
change flash.cfg to
Flash it and this will be CWM compatible partition.
For Clockwork 1.3:
1. Upgrade to MAGLDR 1.13
2. Download 250M ClockworkMod
3. Create a Directory to unpack the 250M ClockworkMod files
4. Copy the system.img from the ROM you want to flash into that Directory. (because MAGLDR 1.13 is new. DAF include from the NAND ROM may not support the new rrecov and yboot flags.)
5. Modify the flash.cfg as following.
ClockworkMod use DAF too, the idea is to flash the ROM at the same time with a compatible partition for ClockworkMod Recovery.
You should try to keep system partition size to one of ClockworkMod presets (150M, 250M, 400M) when ever possible.
Q.5 I thought the system partition has to be 250M or 400M
A.5 Not really, It was set to ensure CWM style ROMS are compatible with each other without the need to repartition. However, if you are only interested in using CWM for backup your existing NAND ROM, there is no reason that it can't be between anything between 250M or 400M. I do however recommend if your system.img is close one of those numbers, keeping them at preset 250M or 400M will have better compatible with other CWM ROM. But since the backup is so easy. It's quite easy to flash a new partition then restore the img back without losing any data.
Q.1: Can I keep my Existing NAND ROM before I install CWM?
A.1: No, Backup with other method like Titatium backup before you install CWM.

A.4: Most Likely YES, but may depend on the ROM. just edit the flash.cfg that come with the NAND ROM.
for example:
original flash.cfg:
Code:
system ya|boot|ro filesize system.img
userdata ya|asize|hr allsizeFor ClockworkMod 1.2:
change flash.cfg to
Code:
misc ya 1M
recovery ya|ro 5M
boot ya|ro 5M
system ya|boot|ro filesize system.img
cache ya 10M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsizeFlash it and this will be CWM compatible partition.

I have the same issue - I can get Clockwork to load however as soon as I format for use with A2SD (eg. create EXT4 partition) it stays on the 123456 GO screen when loading ....
Please .. IS there a fix for this ? I have resorted to reflashing with a non CWM ROM for the time being however I'd prefer to get set up with CWM so I can update without loosing everything ...
SD kernel open failed message
Hi guys. I have just been trying for a looong time to install my first clockwork NAND Rom. But i'm totally stuck at the step when you click on 'Boot AD SD' in the MAGLDR. Here I get the following message 'SD kernel open failed'. I am using the latest Clockworkmod v1.2, using the latest radio for HTC HD2, and even the magldr is latest version V1.12.
So I'm stuck, I can't go further and I can't install the rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way, i triple checked and have done everything according to the manual included here...several times (and in the mdjs nand rom). Am i doing something wrong or is there some kind of bug??
pls help as I'm out of options here:/

I have the same prob and done everything step by step from v1.0 and up. I been stuck since midnight and nobody has really been able to help. I tried 3 diff tutorials and youtube vids.I hate to say it but i kinda givin up ready to enjoy MDJ's New build, but in the morning"lol"when his update comes out ill be wishing I had CWM running. any programs similar that will work on hd2?
What I did was use the kernel and zimage from 1.2 and take the flash.cfg from 1.2 and put it in ver 1.0 overwriting it. Then just flash using ver 1.0...
I was having similar issues - They resolved themselves when I formatted (and reformatted .. and reformatted ..) using Paragon (as FAT32). Eventually I booted to CWM and created my EXT4 partition but after I did this I couldn't boot back to CWM to install my ROM. I think it's buggy as hell as a few people in this thread seem to have the same issues - The instructions on the first page could do with an overhaul.

For people having issues (like me) with the CWM install ... This was posted on MDJ's thread today ... I will be giving this a go later.

I found the solution last night. You just need to format the SD card using "SD Formatter" and then copy the clockwork files and the rom zip you want to flash back to the card, then flash the rom, then use clockwork to partition the SD card BEFORE the rom loads for the first time, then copy the clockwork files back across again.
I'll write up a proper guide, but that method worked for me when I was having exactly the same issues.
Minimal size of cache partition ?
What is minimal size of cache partition ?
I want to combine CMR flash.cfg and gauner1986 Z-FI 0.1 flash.cfg into one, supporting CMR - to get this rom and CMR working fine.
So what is minimal cache size ?
What are mandatory partitions to CMR to work properly ?

I'd say: just try another SD Card, if you've got one. That's probably it.
CWM won't work with my 16GB card (same Kernel Error, also if I put the two files in a 'Recovery' folder), but with 2 other 2GB Cards it's no problem (here, in my case). You could try this.

19Keep your current ROM and still create Recovery Partition
Running DAF.exe with erase your current ROM out of NAND. It needs to do this to repartition. But, just running Clockwork does not remove your current ROM. Stay with me here...
I just loaded up CW recovery WITHOUT repartitioning first, and then backed up my current ROM. Now then repartitioned and restored my backed up ROM. [It works]!
Steps takenr:
- Copied file from "copy_to_sd_root" to ./Recov on SD
- Rebooted (need to do this to set SD boot Dir correctly, or you will get green text flash)
- Set ./Recov as my SD boot Dir.
- Booted to SD... Yes. Into Clockwork.
- It said "E:Can't find MISC:" but looked good other than that.
- Ran Backup. Waited. "Backed up boot, system, data, .android-secure, and cache. It skipped the sd-ext as I do not have one.
- Said "Backup complete!"
- Reboot back into MAGDLR and follow the rest of the steps (Flash using DAF.exe) to repartition. Now it will not boot to NAND. Tried it.
- Boot into CW Recovery using SD boot again
- Now see if your restore works.
- When the restore is done, reboot back into MAGDLR and choose NAND boot and it should boot back into your ROM just as you left it!
It worked for me. Should I create a Tutorial/Walk-through topic? I will just leave this here for now and get some feed back. I make no promises that it will work for you.
