Yes it is possible but i am not sure.
These instructions assume you have basic knowledge of linux, bash, translate.google.com (if not native to english).

Get the smallest possible rom you can (Will explain lateron)
Extract the zip
put the "system" folder which you extracted into a clean folder (ie. No other folder)
Get hold of the "Easy system.ext2 creator script" in the hd2 sd android section
follow the instructions there till you get a system.ext2
Now, read the extra info there regarding how to create .img file for DWI (Don't worry about all complicated terms, just do as said)
Now you should have a "system.img" with you.
Grab the boot.img from the folderwhereyouextractedrom/boot.img
(if it was magldr rom then google on how to use mkbootimg)

Then place these .img files in a common place, do
"fastboot flash system system.img"
"fastboot flash boot boot.img" OR if you couldn't learn to use mkbootimg do "fastboot -c "console=null" -b 0x11800000 flash:raw boot zImage initrd.gz"

Try booting with fingers crossed.

Why use the smallest possible rom ?
Fastboot protocol has some limitations to how much data can be transferred in 1 go, however these were overcome with the use of "sparse images" in the 0.5 version of this protocol which i am busy writing for the hd2.

can someone explaine me why many fasboot commands (expecially "fastboot oem ...." commands) don't work....

pc give this message:

L:\Download\Android\SDK\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot oem help
... FAILED (remote: unknown reason)

clk 1.4.0.1
cwm 4.0.1.4


thank in advance

it's because they are for 1.6(.x) and not for 1.4.0.1

you are not alone..
on 1.4.0.1 battery was much better for me.

Holy crap! I had missed this post continually when pissing around with my HD2 and roms!

Active development of cLK again! SWEET!!!

Now if only the 2 (seemingly) main people deving on it can put their pissing match's aside and work together, I think great things could come from cLK!

EDIT: Currently I use the HD2 toolkit (outdated already! damn!), use the 4EXT tool for my SD, and have to settle for preset's for my cLK partitioning, so to say that I am ECSTATIC to be able to do this all from within cLK(hboot) without needing to flash several times and reboots... well... pinch me!

Test repport

EDIT: And with cLK v1.4.0.1 is the cache partition who see bad block...., my phone has a problem? thank you in advance for the answer.
