Works like a charm but what's the use of HSPL and REF files in that archive?

Hopefuly a little help to use this excellent CWM on HD2 with CM9_ICS.
It works like a charm for me.
YOU WILL LOOSE ALL DATA ON PHONE SINCE THE NEW CWM REQUIRES REFORMAT OF PARTITION!;)

1. Backup your phone (to your SD Card (and make again a copy of that same file to your PC) into a fashable ROM (or have all installation files available)
2. Download and unzip the attached HD2.ZIP from this post
3. Locate and edit the file "flash.cfg" to your needs: (My partiton is 190 Mb with 2 Mb Cache) and save the file.
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 190M
cache ya 2M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
4. Hook up your HD2 with USB to your PC and (re)start in MAGLDR (Keeping Power depressed)
5. Choose option 5. USB Flasher
6. On your PC, go to the directory with the HD2 Files (see step 2)
7. Rigth-klick DAF.EXE and run as Adminidstrator
LAST CHANCE, YOU WILL NOW WIPE YOUR PHONE :confused:
8. Choose next and next AND DO NOT DISCONNECT until finish (see the messages on your HD2)
9. When finished, restart your pnhone in MAGLDR (using Powerdown)
10. Choose 8, AD Recovery
11, There is your new CMW!!
12. Rebuild your ROM and check Bad Blocks and proper alignment of Android

If this fails, do not panic and restart at point 3 and choose different size of partition.
BOOT, needs to be mimimal 5 Mb
SYSTEM, must be at least 170 Mb, I Recommend 190 Mb (and use Link2SD and fas SD Card to have more space for Apps)
CACHE, not important, leave at 2 Mb

Update CWM with no USB??

Hey Guys,

My USB port is broken, only thing I can do with it is charging (luckily).
I need an update for my CWM. The upgrade is needed because I am not able to clear the dalvik and normal cache when using NativeSD with my current CWM (v5.0.2.6).
I assume it does not see the sd-ext (even when mounted) and only clears the NAND cache and Dalvik cache

Is there a flashable zip available that I can use for upgrading? Or is there another way to update the CWM? I have corrupted the CWM in the past using a flashable zip, but now the port is broke so that will be the only way I presume….
Any suggestions?

Extract the zip and put the recovery_raw.img on the root of your sdcard.
In Android open a teminal emulator
type:
Code: 
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_raw.img

that's alll

Thank you for this helpful tutorial.
I only have problem with error "device not found" in adb.
Also, when I list adb devices, there are non.
On the other hand, my DHD works witohut problem in adb, but HD2 doesn't.
Can you tell me what's the problem?
First of all, am I supposed to put the phone in fastboot or bootloader when connecting in adb?
Thnx.

Can i just point out a minor thing that threw me?
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery...*-*...*_*...raw.img

The bit in bold: after extracting the zip, the file retrieved is called
recovery-raw.img with a '-' dash, not '_' underscore.

The code says to type with an '_' underscore, hence terminal emulator can't view it.
Nothing big, just though i'd mention...

    Hey, I started working with cm7 recovery and preparing it to touch recovery. Here is some screen shoots how it's look now and I will update this thread with my progress!

    device20120111150258.png
    device20120111205141.png


    EDIT 02.Jan.2012:
    Beta 2 done!

    Changelog:
    - it's now v5.0.2.7 !
    - removed back button in menu and all functions about back button (no needed becouse it's touch recovery which have back option)
    - fixed touch buttons (screen redraw)

    EDIT 03.Jan.2012:
    Beta 3 done!

    Changelog:
    - fixed bug (touch buttons inside "wipe cache partition" not displayed)
    - added vibrate efect on touch press
    - preparation for leds trigers for battery and battery level to top screen. My plan now is creating an function (an hex lookup table) that I will translate nubmers to picture, for example number 98 trought lookup table will translate numbers to picture that will be displayed as a battery indicator like in android rom :). If someone have idea how to implement it for better use, please post it here)

    EDIT 04.Jan.2012:
    Beta 4 done!

    Changelog:
    - fixed glitches during boot
    - added stock cwm theme with cyan text color
    - added button efects

    EDIT 10.Jan.2012:
    Beta 5 done!

    Changelog:
    - increased position for touch buttons press (allso menu moving speed improvements)
    - new theme with gray font color (too look like theme)
    - added battery indicator (icon) in real time!
    - added leds trigers
    - fixed progress bar position
    - its now in zip format (instalable from recovery!)

    EDIT 11.Jan.2012:
    Changelog:
    - smoothest current theme
    - fixed battery indicator and leds indicator (100% showed 00% and green leds was red)
    - changed beta 4 to beta 5 (I forgot to change:))
    - its now in image format (removed zip compatible installing becouse some guys corupted his recovery partition. To get it in zip use zip and replace recovery-raw.img with recovery-raw.img from beta5. If zip install fail you need to flash recovery from magldr (if using magldr) or if use clk (clk way)
    Next plan is adding yes/no support and perfecting current version!

    EDIT 11.Jan.2012:
    Beta 6 done!

    Changelog:
    - yes/no full suported (credits to carl1961) :)
    - drawable text perfected (its not now ower menu + its moved one position to the right) :)
    - gradients in "installing" is removed
    - battery icon is disabled after showing progress bar (icon was continuously flashed) and enabled again if no progress bar

    Its perfected now and its stil beta until we fix all bugs!

    Tutorial - how to create custom skins:
    - download adbshell from atachment and extract
    - replace recovery-raw.img with an that you want to edit
    There is 3 bat files. First one (STEP1_unpack_cwm_and_download_theme.bat):
    - connect your phone to usb cable
    - double click to STEP1_unpack_cwm_and_download_theme.bat
    If all gone ok you will see folder "res" in same folder! If you not see res folder it mean - step 1 fail (your busybox not suport provided comands or you not have installed usb drivers)! If you see res - step 1 done! Go to res folder and adit pictures inside :) Note. Pictures need to be (no big in kb becouse your final cwm will be big)! About battery icons. There is a and b. a is first part of the battery icon and b is seccond part of the battery icon, so after creating battery icon pay atention to a and b! For example a1 and b2 give you battery icon of the 12%...etc. a10 icon is for empty first part icon for example if level is 8 it mean you need 2 icons a10+b8 -> first part is empty, seccond part is b8. a11 is ussed when battery level is 100% so it mean first part a11 is 10+ b0 is 0 == a11+b0=100%
    Seccond one (STEP2_pack_cwm.bat):
    - double click to STEP2_pack_cwm.bat
    If all gone ok you will see recovery.img so it mean you done step2 and have your own cwm with your skin :)
    Third one (STEP3_install_cwm.bat):
    - double click to STEP3_install_cwm.bat to install custom cwm :)

    EDIT 14.Jan.2012:
    - adbshell updated to work with some other versions of the busybox + added one commant to remount system partition to read write

    EDIT 24.Jan.2012:
    Beta 7 done!

    Changelog:
    - added ability for theme developers to change menu and text color :)

    Note: if you want to change font colors use adbshell from attachment (steps is the same as for changing skin!). Only you need to do is to place an "menu.txt" in res/images/ folder!!! Write in menu.txt 6 numbers including comma, for example in this format:
    123,222,0,22,166,255
    First 3 numbers (rgb format!) is for text color and last 3 numbers (rgb format!) is for menu text color :) Enjoy!
    Beta 7 is in attachment becouse something is not ok with multiupload... will upload later to multiupload!

    EDIT 27.Jan.2012:
    Beta 8 RC1 (release candidate 1) done!

    Changelog:
    - fixed battery level and fine tuned (some guys reported wrong level if level is 5% - icon not show)
    - source code cleanup
    - corected version title :)
    Its now again in beta stage but I tested it and becouse your help I fixed some small bugs and its now an pre-release stable candidate (RC1)!

    I believe if the new recovery is significantly larger (what constitues that I don't know) than the old one it will wipe out part of the OS. That's because of the setting 'recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img' in the flash.cfg for magldr. I've tried changing that to say 'recovery rrecov|ro|nospr 6M' but it did not work. I'm not sure why, but it would not boot recovery. One way to get around that is to use a SD based recovery. I don't know how to create a CWM or SD (initrd and zimage) version, but someone out there might.

    It can wipe nothing than recovery! Only will install or corupt your recovery! To prevent fail to recovery instalation best way to check if new recovery is smaler or same as your recovery partition is:
    - using adb: adb shell cat /proc/mtd, you will see something like that:
    Code: 
    dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 000a0000 00020000 "misc"
mtd1: 00420000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd2: 002c0000 00020000 "boot"
mtd3: 0f000000 00020000 "system"
mtd4: 02800000 00020000 "cache"
mtd5: 0b920000 00020000 "userdata"
    - than go to http://easycalculation.com/hex-converter.php and paste 00420000 to hex input on that site and you will see in decimal format size of the your recovery partition for example: in my way its 00420000 and in decimal its 4325376, so it mean my recovery partition have size of the 4,325MB. If recovery-raw.img have biger size than 4,325MB than recovery instalation will 100% sure fail to install!!! If the recovery-raw.img is smaler than 4,325MB you will sure it will be succesfull!!! I newer tried clk but I think clk not have option changing partition layout (only if you change it in source and create custom part layout) like magldr have, but to be sure, before instaling new recovery, use adb shell and check!

    I added ability for recovery theme customization, but theme developers need to pay atention to final recovery size becouse if picture size is biger - will be biger final recovery size!!! In any way I will create an kernel only for recovery with an small size in next release (will disable unused modules for recovery, will apply lzma compresion...etc)!

    CWM Recovery Touch ICS themed:
    Flash it with DAF and 6Mb recovery partition size (get in attachement)
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    I want to say its great but it have very big size in kb, it will fail to install on most recoveries, only will be compatible to custom magldr partition layout (include wiping all)! For best picture size try lowering bit depth, frame count, try compresing your png...etc
