Me too...
I have a small issure with recovery. In recovery mode i can't mount phone as USB storage.
Can someone give me a small explanation how to use "normal" nand Builds and recovery mod together?
That is strange. I do not know the specifics of what CW is doing or what your ROM did when it originally partitioned your NAND. What build are you running? If it is hanging as soon as it tries to backup boot (the first partition) it is probably not finding the partitions it expects.
If you want to try and see your NAND partition layout you can try the steps in this post:

Let us know your NAND ROM and if you find your partition information.
-Unc.
No. I would put them in a subfolder and leave them there. AFAIK the recovery is being loaded from these files on the SD card. It may be loaded into the recovery partition created by DAF.ex in this procedure in the future, but even then, loading a ROM will not wipe this out....My question is, do I need to manually put those two files in my SD card root every time I need to use Recovery? Are there other alternatives?
Your MAGDLR may still be using a different directory for trying to launch Recovery. Try putting these files in a directory and choosing that Dir for SD boot.Alright, so when I try to go to Recovery through "Boot AD SD" MAGLDR (V1.11) would get stuck on 123456 Go Go Go!
Any way to fix this?
I put the two files in the root of the SD card ...
You can but you will not be able to load recovery from SD until you put them back. You might want to keep them and use them to back up your ROM until we have another way to get into recovery. Why not have more tools?Many thanks. its tool work perfect for me. My hd2 is now a real Android device
* and I have a question : after recovery and upgrade ROM (*.zip), I can delete the two files initrd.gz and zImage in memory card or not ?
Not Yet. This could come about the time they link recovery to MAGDLR properly. We will see.thank you.OP didnt mention push the files included IN the "move to SD" to root of your SD card.just wondering will i be able to get into clockwork recovery through the rom manager or the reboot to recovery?
Well, you might not have to run DAF.exe but your NAND will not be repartitioned to support the new partition layout that includes a recovery partition.
I would just try it. The Recovery partition does not exist until you repartition using the DAF.exe included and I got the MISC errors too. You were going to loose your current ROM anyway, this just gives you a CHANCE to try and keep it.FYI guys, Unconn's method does not work if you flashed with MDJ_FroYo_Revolution_v._2.1_NAND. Keep getting
"E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC:"
or am I missing something.
I am not sure you can unless your ROM has a Update.ZIP version you can flash over it. This may be a ROM that was not written to support the partition structure we are using. This is why this is not a supported method for keeping your current ROM. Any number of things could stop working when trying to load from NAND, especially one written before the CW method and new partition structure. The steps that it goes through to load a kernel and ROM are going to look for certain things. If they are not found it just will not load. Sorry. Find and update.zip you like the look of and hope that you data partition survives (does not relate to SDcard <2.2). It might, but still may not load properly without a wipe before flashing from within recovery.Everything went smooth except the last part when I run it from NAND again, its stuck at the HTC splash screen... How can I fix this?
There are multiple screens of directories. Scroll down. New dirs are normally at the bottom and I had to go about 5 screens to find mine....Then i tried to create a folder in Windows named "Recovery"
But i can't find the folder recovery in the boot source menu
An MD5 error could indicate the backup was corrupted (maybe by an SD card that needs formatting).i tried it with that. When i try to restore, i get a failure. something like "MD5 Checksumme error". maybe because the data.img is on the SD card?
Edit: because clockworkmode just allowed 250mb of build storage
This is a good point. If you Flash another NAND ROM from windows it will repartition your NAND again and you will have to run the Clockwork DAF.exe again at some point....Doing all of this, you have converted a single NAND Rom into a zip backup to be used with CW. This is very tedious and does not make much sense. Also, you have to do the whole procedure all over again if you want to convert a different NAND Rom to be used with CW. CW is supposed to be used with zip files and you should just wait for devs to provide zips of their NAND Roms...
If i backup a Rom with CM, will it backup all my setings and Apps too?
I do not know a ton about this, but I have heard that PSfreedom ROMs load successfully from SD card. So you run your normal ROM from NAND and then crush PS3s with a reboot into an SD card build.Ok, my first post here, i have been on this forum for a last six months reading and stuff Ok my question is, can we now use psfreedom payloads with recovery, from android that is on nand?
I ask to understand all of this Tool only This tool is great. May be ones is not use the android who does not know the great impact of this tool . I'm using DesireHD and HD2 so be know utility that tool . Sorry for my bad English, thanks againYou can but you will not be able to load recovery from SD until you put them back. You might want to keep them and use them to back up your ROM until we have another way to get into recovery. Why not have more tools?
You need to have the same files in tne same directory on your new SD card for CW to work. it is basically a trimmed down Android SD boot from SD right now.I just bought a new microsd card, and clockwork mod booted (yeey), mounted SD card in MAGDLR to copy a update.zip, but clockwork won't boot anymore.
I dont have any idea's to try left
Yes, you need to use update.zips specifically for HD2. The drivers (among other things) will be different.
As we now have NAND booting for the HD2, its time we also had a way to flash ROMs from the SD aswell so here we have ClockworkMod Recovery compiled for the HD2. It is fully working except ROM Manager is not supported.
Recovery can now boot from NAND instead of the old SD Card boot method, to flash the rom, download the recovery with the partition layout you require, then flash as you would a standard NAND rom using DAF and MAGLDR USB Flasher. then select AD Recovery to load into recovery.
MAGLDR v1.13 IS REQUIRED, OLDER VERSIONS ARE NOT SUPPORTED, DOWNLOAD v1.13 HERE
Please stop posting modified flash.cfg files for use with CWM
CWM is designed to make it easier to flash roms without needing a windows PC, if you post a different flash.cfg in each rom thread then it defeats this purpose as a pc will be required for flashing each layout.
Stick to using the default partition layouts or use USB flasher
WARNING MESSAGES:
GOING FROM A DAF FLASHED ROM TO A RECOVERY FLASHED ROM WILL WIPE ALL DATA
IF YOU FLASH ANOTHER ROM USING DAF, RECOVERY WILL NO LONGER WORK CORRECTLY, YOU WILL NEED TO REFLASH RECOVERY
-Flash ROMs in update.zip format
-Backup and restore ROMs using Nandroid
-Flash ROMs from the SD card without use of a PC
-Easilly Wipe all Data/Cache
-Repartition SD card for use with Apps2SD
-Full Root ADB access
-Fix app permissions
For MAGLDR NAND Boot;
1. Download recovery with partition size for the type of rom you plan on using, see guide below if unsure.
2. Extract downloaded file and load magldr into USB Flasher mode.
3. Run DAF.exe and follow instructions
4. After completed and phone reboots, hold power key and select AD Recovery from list
5. Recovery will now load
For old style SD Boot;
1. download one of the partition files for SD Boot, if you don't know which one you need, use the 250M one or check with rom developer.
2. Extract downloaded zip to a folder of your choice
3. Copy contents of copy_to_sd_root (initrd.gz and zImage) to the root of your sd card
4. boot into magldr and select USB Flasher option while phone is connected to PC
5. Run DAF.exe included in the zip and follow onscreen instructions.
6. After complete, again boot into magldr and select "Boot AD SD" option
7. ClockworkMod recovery should load, you can flash a rom from here.

Q. Ive flashed v1.3 but cant access recovery anymore.
A. Make sure you are using MAGLDR 1.13 and are selecting "AD Recovery" instead of "Boot AD SD"
Q. Ive downloaded v1.3 but there is no copy_to_sd folder
A. Recovery no longer requires any files on the SD card, just flash it like a standard nand rom and select "AD Recovery in magldr menu
Q. Can I change the partition sizes used for CWM
A. You can by editing the flash.cfg but this is not recommended, CWM is designed to make it easier for switching roms, by flashing a custom partition size you may stop other roms working and require reflashing a new partition size when you want to change roms.
Q. I dont know which partition size to download
A. Depending on what type of roms you plan on using, you should choose the partition size based on the following.
150MB Partition - For bare roms including CyanogenMod, AOSP, and MiUI
250MB Partition - For Standard sense roms including Desire and EVo based ROMs, can also be used for some squashed HD builds
400MB Partition - For Larger roms including unsquashed Desire HD and Z roms, ROMs REQUIRE data2sd for EU HD2 with 512MB NAND
Notes for devs;
*I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOUR DEVICE BY USING THIS RECOVERY IMAGE*
Please add tags to the title of your threads stating if they are to be flashed with recovery or DAF, [ZIP] for recovery update.zip and [USB] if its installed over usb using daf.
The cache partition is only 10MB so that recovery can still use it, to get cache to work in android, make a directory in data called cachemnt and on boot symlink /cache to /data/cachemnt, this does not apply when using 150M partition size
-Cotulla + DFT for the great work for Android on NAND
-CyanogenMod team for work on recovery
-Anyone else who has made the HD2 a great device
