[Q] how to make nand file when you have sd file - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

can anyone help me how to make nand file when i have sd file cuz i cannot install from my sd card i need to install directly
thanks

I am not sure that I understand what is your exact problem. But if I'm right and you can not install rom from SD card and want to install it directly from computer, maybe you should try to use DAF versions ?

yes but there is only one daf version and i want to know how to convert the sd version to daf version

That's not very easy. You'd have to edit the intrid.gz and and zImage and other things to make it work. More effort than it's worth. What ROM you looking for? Is it a .zip SD card file or and Android folder type?

To the point - the fact you're asking this question leads me to believe you're not skilled enough to know how to perform all of the changes this would require.
My suggestion is you forget about the SD version and make the move to the NAND Android instead.
The DAF version is a way for Windows to put Android on your phone through the built-in bootloader onto the NAND chip on your phone. SD android is a completely different structure and you'll never find an "SD DAF" Android.

could you perhaps extract the system folder from the CWM zip, then use mkyaffs2image to build a system.img and drop that in place of the original system.img from the DFT version? (and teh same with the boot folder boot.img too, i would assume)
Or is that make believe?

Extracting the system folder from CWM zip wont work. Its because during the zip installation the updater script is beeing called and it creates a lot of symlinks. So, if you just extract and convert, you will miss the whole bunch of symlinks (and permissions, etc..)

Really?
Never heard of DAF then?
We're limited to either SD or CWM install, are we?

The op is limited to usb only so yea, in this case we are limited to daf only, and he finds there isn't as wide range of daf roms, hence the perfectly reasonable question.
which part of the original post can't you understand?

I'll assume your lack of English skills is the reason you've totally mis-understood every single thing i've written in this thread.

If I've missunderstood, it can only mean that even though it didn't sound like it, you do agree with me, in which case appology accepted, lets say no more about it.

Building [ROM ZIP] From NAND (Lets Talk)

Okay, as I am sure we all see there has been a HUGE break through for our HD2 freedom thanks to all the Dev's here with the release of ClockWork Mod Recovery. I can for see a downpour of one particlular question flooding the forums... "Can you make a ROM ZIP Please".
I would assume that it can't be that much of a task to take a NAND build and make it flashable (Maybe I am wrong) but it seems all the hard stuff of creation is done, it becomes a matter of "format" (Maybe Not the Right Word). Extract Boot and System.IMG's, Editing a script?
So... Maybe we can all take the burden off some of the Devs doing this to our favorite builds? Then they can focus on what they do best... making this stuff work.
What is involved in doing this?
Hell, maybe I am way off and we should leave it to the Pro's?
I'm Ready.

I would have to agree. I'm not much of a developer but I can follow directions pretty good. I would come on board and like DroidTh3ory said, take some of the burden off some of the Devs.
I would also like to a see a Nandroid (backup of nand to sd) type option so as if the new rom we flashed is not what we were hoping we can roll back the nandroid.

I am not a developer. I would be more than happy to help with doing the conversions if someone posts a way to do it.
The developers need to spend their time developing their builds to be the best that they can be. We, as a community, need to help the developers by taking the little tasks, such as file conversions, from the developers so they don't have to sweat the little stuff.

Yes, flashing (actually recovering) a rom from SD is safe and simple. With recovery we could do these by ourselves.

Ok, then try the kitchen. It allows import of nandroids and once imported, you can mod it whatever way you want.

Well, the first step is done.. We now have recovery. Now when just need something to use it with.
I was looking through the different builds NAND, RAM and SD. Besides everything being wrapped up in .img's, the NAND ROMS have the same files. Comparing to the ONLY Flashable [.ZIP] ROM I see no similarities.
Maybe RaiderX303 or another DEV can put us in the direction we would need to go. Software, Files, Steps, Etc

I think installing the dsixda kitchen is the first step in all of this. I'm installing it right now and I'm going to give it a shot using JDMS's NAND ROM.....we'll see what happens if I can get it to boot up in recovery or not.

The big issue to converting a NAND to UPDATE.ZIP is not about the files (just unpack boot.img and system.img and put the contents in the relative folders) but making the updater scripts specially for symlinks that ZIP not support so is needed that symlink are deleted and recreated on-the.fly by the updater script
updater scripts are under META-INF folder in the zip

Sorry guys
to make the updater scripts you have to understand a little bit about symlinks and packing/unpacking stuff.. otherwise will be a lot difficult
basically you just need to unpack the .img files and put the contents in the folders. than you need to creat/modify the scripts for the META-INF folder, that basically are different for any build.
that's it.
its always nice to see members helping each other.after all the devs are done marvellous job in recent days.

[Q] flashing zip files

Hi,
Ive been trying to read me to this but i cant get it straight anyway.
Im trying to flash a zip file to the SD root called ps3-Signed.zip to my Htc Hd (Blackstone) with froyo (2.2).
And when i do the normal flash in recovery mode (tri-colour) nothing happens.
Also im i have no success with RUU aswell.
The zip file is in the root of the sd card.
There isnt much on Blackstone on other sites so i hope you guys have some tips for me
Cheers!

He's trying to flash like a native android phone
You could try to rename it update.zip and boot android..
Sorry its for doing the psfreedom jailbreak for the ps3. For that you need to install/flash that zip file to the Sd card. But i cant get it in.
I also tried to change to uppdate.zip and it didnt work. feels like im doing something wrong.
I thought i knew how to flash files but nothing happens when i flash the zip file.
here is a link to the guide with a desire. http://www.dkszone.net/jailbreak-ps3-psfreedom-android-phone-nexus-htc-desire
Blackstone is not an android native device, and it doesn't run from nand, and usb mass storage doesn't work, and recovery mode doesn't work either, so I doubt that works with it. Sincerely, I'd try to get a native android device to do that.

You got that wrong. This is intended for the native devices and you can't flash anything to NAND (yet). I don't know if it works on Blackstone, but more info can be found here.
In xdandroid rootfs.img already builtin recovery mode for installing OTA updates "update.zip"

[Q] way to make update.zip recognized by stock recovery system

Hi,
Is there way to make update.zip file which can be recognized by stock recovery system? For example, if I look at "nook_1_1_update.zip" by Barnes&Nobles, the zip file has same structure as the zip files for CWM.
So, I took my CWM-working update.zip, and renamed it xxxx_update.zip and pasted into the Nook folder. It seems nooktouch recognize it but it says "book file is not recognized" or something like that. Then if I check the Nook folder, the file is gone.
I think it might be a compression issue (I used 7zip on win7). or some necessary files in update.zip? I will appreciate any of your inputs. Thanks.
My guess is that B&N actually checks the file signature
I might be wrong tho..

I don't understand what it means. If I make a working one, someone else can use it, right? My ultimate goal is to add Korean support to the stock reader (Korean fonts and Korean keyboard) with the simplest possible way and help Korean people to use it. I made a CWM-update.zip which replaces existing fonts with Korean supporting fonts, and it works (Thanks mali100 for his suggestion). But in order to do that, people have to write CWM on SD card and copy the update.zip. But some people even feel scared to write images to SD card. Also it is inconvenient to clear SD card which already stores a lot of books. I am just poking around if there's better way to do that. Thanks.

My apology. I thought it was sort of sarcasm. Yeah, it will be ideal to do that. However, I start to think that what ros83 was saying is right. It might need a special code to generate the working one.

[Q] Where is the data.img file?

I have been searching for ages trying to find this answer and although I've found some threads about this file I can't find where it is kept? In the guides it says to backup this file when upgrading the same ROM or reinstalling it so you don't lose settings etc, which is what I want to do. I have ES File Explorer on my phone and have searched the root files for it to no avail!
As far as I know, if you're on NAND you won't have that file. But I think if you make a backup, you can find it in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/your-bacukp .. If you're using cwm.

I'm using the SD method not NAND. I don't have CWM installed but I'm assuming in ROM manager you create a backup from there, which places it in the backup folder you mention above?

Oh, excuse me. You're using SD, then it's probably located under /sdcard/your-rom-folder/
That folder is usually called "Android", but it may differ from ROM to ROM. I don't remember the data.img being on the root of the sd.

Thanks. Is it a file I'm looking for as I'm under the impression it is with the .img, similar to an ISO file? Although in the android folder there is a folder called data, which has several folders in.....is this it?
If it is then I think the extension on the name is confusing me as I thought it was an actual file!
Actually, back in the time when I used to use android SD. The data was stored in a file with a ".img" extension. I am not sure about now, maybe they changed it?
I am not familiar with this "data" folder you're referring to.

Yes, that is it. It may have slightly different names depending on the rom. The data file is used by the sd android as the data partition by a nand android. Your apps and data are generally stored in this file. There can be some exceptions, like apps moved with Apps2sd and similar things.
It is usually good to have a backup of this file.

[Q] Clean ROM flash

Getting ready to do the Clean ROM flash and I have a few questions:

2. How do I boot into recovery?
I have twrp installed and phone's rooted. Just need to know the button config. to go into recovery to follow the installation steps. TY

LOL! Sorry I had too. Someone needs there Coffee You copy the rom to your phones storage like where your pictures,Music, and stuff are at. They didnt say anything about a storage folder.
and 2. Download an app called reboot recovery in the market place
You should be cautious when flashing anything if you were looking for a "Storage" folder.

Dude! Never be afraid to ask (but if the answers are on the website and you didn't do a proper search, expect flame on!). :laugh:
Anyway, assuming you are on AT&T, you should have downloaded a file called CleanROM-1.1.zip . If you didn't get that one, go here http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=464 and download it. Check the MD5 to ensure the file is not corrupt. Do not unzip the file! Just transfer the file onto your phone - it doesn't really matter where, just remember where you put it. Then reboot into recovery (assuming you have already installed TWRP) using whatever app you like (I prefer GooManager), click Install, navigate to the rom you just put on your phone and you're good to go.
Good luck!
