Hi,
I without much thinking and reading, searched the keyword "backup" on the play store, installed the first application I found (nandroid) and made a backup of my OS and wiped everything afterwards because I had to get my display replaced after the digitizer started not responding.
But after I got my phone back I realized that I can only flash CWM 3x on HD2 while the backup that nandroid created was for cwm5.
So, I have a backup made for cwm5. Any suggestions on how can I restore this on a hd2?
thanks in advance
Did you try to simply restore the backup?

If you can flash v3 you can flash v5 the same way.

Well, that's what I thought, but I can't. It won't let me. CWM3 keeps giving the file not found error, and I thought the fact that it's cwm3 is must be the reason why. I'm confused now.

I get into the ad recovery section in magldr, cwm opens, I then choose the backup restore section, it checks my sd card and finds the backup I made, no problem up to this point, I choose the backup I want to restore, the process starts, and then I get the file not found errors, but everything's there in the sd card, I checked.
The errors are like this:
system.img not found. Skipping restore of /system.
data.img not found. Skipping restore of /data.
etc. etc.

eventually it skips everything and restores nothing.

OK, no problem. You misunderstood what I said.
Go to AD Recovery and CWM v3 will open, correct?
Do NOT select /BACKUPRESTORE!
Select INSTALL FROM SD CARD
Of course, you need to have a copy of CWM Recovery v5 on your SD Card - if you do not have it or you have an older v5 download this file and place it on your sd card before you start.
After you install that file reboot and you will have CWM Recovery v5.
Does it make more sense now?

Well now have less possible issues. This is good.
The error shows you had a problem extracting the image from the zip. That suggests a bad zip or a bad sd card. Have you tried to download another copy of the zip file?
How big is your recovery partition? To flash that recovery you should have 5 MB, 8 if you might want to try other recovery apps later.
How was your device partitioned? Did you use DAF.EXE? If yes, take a look at the flash.cfg file, the line for recovery. If it has "filesize" (or something like it) instead of a number that partition was created to match last image flashed. The word filesize should read 8 MB or at least 5 mb.
If using the hd2 toolkit there should also be a flash.cfg file someplace.
Check that zip file first, however. I can give you a known good recovery and DAF.EXE but you will have to set the correct partition sizes for what you need.

Hi I'm having issues with clockworkmod.
See the problem is while trying to flash cyanogen mod I was getting the endless loop so I kept
at it until I managed to flash it. The problem is I flashed Cm6.1.0 so easy fix right? Well I thought so too until clockworkmod wouldn't find the zip. So I tried nandroid and it again couldn't find any zip so I checked the partitions menu and clockworkmod had mounted the
Sd card and the cache. So I unmounted both and still nothing so I looked at the setting's again and it remounts the cache and sometimes the Sd card. Well my problem is worsened by
the fact that the version of cyanogen mod that did flash doesn't have the market or flash.
Any help will be welcome. HTC aria.

With CM 6, the Market is in the GoogleApps zip which must be installed after the ROM.
Also Flash 10.x does not run on the Aria; the CPU is not supported by Adobe.
Well clockworkmod won't find any zip not even nandroid and so my problem deepens so now can't get the market crap.

Some of your terminology in your post is very confusing. First of all, ClockworkMod will only find ZIP files that are copied to the root directory of your SD card. If you copied them to a folder on your SD card, CWM will not find them.
Second, Nandroid is a backup and restore utility and it does not use ZIP files. It creates backup folders on the SD card under /clockworkmod/backup and contains image files of the various partitions on your phone.
So what is the exact state of your phone? You stated that you have flashed CM 6.1? If you boot your phone normally, does CM 6 start up and are you able to use your phone? In order to install gapps.zip file to get the Market app, copy the gapps.zip file to the root of your SD card and see if ClockworkMod can install it. BTW, in CWM you are select "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard", right?

Thanks for correcting my misinformation. I guess the root location only applies to "update.zip", right?
Yup. And it actually must be named "update.zip"

Are you copying the zip files from your PC to the sd card? Have you tried downloading a ROM zip file directly to your SD card using your phone's browser?
I have exactly the same problem...Clockwork will not see any .zip files....even tried mounting usb storage from cwm, it mounts and the zips are there, yet it can not find any of them when i try to find them (all are in the root of the sdcard)...any ideas?
So if you pick "choose zip from SD" you can't manually pick a zip?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Found a solution:
1. Get SD card formatter from HERE
2. Plugin your phone (as USB drive), start up the application and format the card (default options selected) NOTE: backup your SD card to your PC first (obviously)
3. Unplug the phone (or put it into charge mod, whatever)
4. The phone should now try (and fail) to mount the card...go to the SD options and format the card using the phone function
The .zip files should now be visible in ClockworkMod Recovery (it worked for me and a few others as far as i know)
Hi,
I really love your ROM, But unfortunately i am unable to install completely in my Google Nexus One mobile. I followed all your steps from
Steps 1 to 3 i ahev done in PC.
1.Downloading Kang-o-rama Zip file
2. Copying Kang-o-rama to root Nexus One phone's SD Card
3. Seted up Advanced Installer by creating the directories
<sdcard>\android\kangorama\
and in kangorama directory, I created a txt file with name install.cfg with apps2ext and bootanimation flags only.
I followed Steps 4 to 7 after inserting the SDcard in mobile.
4. Rebooted into Recovery
5. Did a Nandroid backup
6. Wiped Data, Cache and Dalvik-Cache
7. Installed the Kang-o-rama zip file from your SD Card
In Step 7 i am facing the problem, when i started installing, i got System Installation and kernel installation completed. after that i got "Application installing" and after 70% in progress... there is no further progress..
At this point the Mobile is static for more than 4 hours. Can you please help me out in successfull installation..Thanks in Advance
regards
Manickam
You don't have to use the advanced install. Just put the ROM on to your root of your SD and flash in recovery after full wipe.
just a few ideas...did you partition your sd card first? did you check the m5dsum of the file you downloaded?
i would also recommend posting this in the kangorama thread.
you can also look in /tmp/recovery.log to see where it got up to or if there were any errors.
if it got to the step "installing applications" or something similar then it may have completed but had trouble unmounting the sd-ext partition and froze.
if this is the case you can try rebooting and see if it has worked or try re-partitioniong using clockworkmod or any other recovery..
Hi,
I didn't see this tread (lucky actually that I ever saw it).
Since new users can't post in /dev even with replies you can PM me if you have these problems.
I suspect you're using ClockworkMod recovery? If so, try installing Amon_RA recovery, it has less problems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
If this doesn't help or you're still struggling feel free to send me a PM.
No. So far i didt Partitioned my SD card. Whether i Need to partition?
Ya. I am using ClockworkMod recovery.So what i should do now to make the MOD work properly..
Currently I am having ClockworkMod recovery 3.0.0.5. Whether I have to change my recovery?
I have also tried by partitioning the SD-EXT to 512MB and swap to 64mb. Still I am facing the problem in same point of application installation.
Can any one guide me to resolve this issue.

Seriously, you have to provide info on your setup. CM7 version, CWR version, SD or eMMC install, etc.....
Without knowing what you were initially trying to fix or what materials you have on hand, I would say make an up-to-date CWM card:
eyeballer said:
Download 1gb CWM 3.2.0.1 sdcard image from here. MD5 of .zip: 1319739d33642ed860e8044c3d55aa56. (I made this based on work in this thread. credit: to cmstlist and DizzyDen, and kevank for hosting). You really only need the 1gb image for this guide, no matter what the size of your card is. A smaller image will burn faster, and when you're done with the guide you can reformat the card anyway.
Extract the clockworkmod .img (if you can't open the file use 7zip)and burn to sdcard using win32diskimager (free) or winimage (shareware). These apps will need to be "run as administrator." If you're not sure how to do this see step 3 here. ***Some internal laptop/desktop readers will not work to do this, you may need an external USB reader if you run into problems.***

In the android nand section, titled something like "clockworkrecovery, nand,SD, ver 5.0.2 yes/no stable" or something, (currently top post
Get both
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip
and
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip
Extract and copy the SD card ver onto SD card (copy the two files to SD, done)
And then copy the whole cwr.zip to SD card too.
Then, into magldr, "ad SD" will boot into the cwm files you placed on SD, and choose instal zip from SD,,, choose zip,, and select the cwm.zip you also placed on SD.
This will write the cwm image into the recovery partition without reflashing the cwm partition layout, so nothing lost.
[02 Nov][RECOVERY][NAND|SD][cLK|MAGLDR] ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 "YES/NO" STABLE
download the first two links
flash_image.zip
and
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip
unpack teh two files from recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip onto your sd card, and copy the whole flash_image.zip to sd card.
enter magldr
select 'boot ad sd' which will start cwm but from your sd card, from there you choose 'instal from zip - select zip' and select the flash_image.zip, which will reinstall cwm into the recovery partition on your nand, and now you should find that magldr 8 - ad recovery now works, and your rom hasnt been touched. plus you now have the latest cwm.

Please, confirm if I get this right - the only way to make Rom manager work with HD2 is to use CLK bootloader, is that right. I had similar troubles to these decribed in the above posts and solved them in similar manner. I dont want to go all the way and install CLK and rom, restore back-ups and see it is too not working with Rom manager.

first make sure your using the correct 5.0.2.6 recovery for hd2
and that your flash image is big enough
copy the rom.zip ( do not unpack) to your sdcard, either through CWR mounted to usb, or use a cardreader
i am using HD2 Toolkit. Never been any problems. by cardreader or either through CWR , can't install. only messege - bad, error. every rom!! The sd is formated. as usually. i don't know what's happend:/
I'm not a rookie in flashing. it is not ordinary error. it looks like the zip file are corrupted when i am trying to install them by the CWR. After the error when i try to open it the zip file on my computer by the win rar, it tells me that, the zip is corrupted. when i download it the rom the zip was good, cause i check it.
ps. sorry for english
it is no matter what rom i want to install. I always have this messege - "e:can't open /sdcard/roms_name.zip
(bad)
installation aborted
Zip file is good before put him to sdcard. after a press choose zip from sdcard the zip file is corrupted. Maybe something with CWR?;/
Eliminate all the possibilities, if you're using MAGLDR switch over to cLK and vice-versa, and then try again.

u are ****ing awesome sir
Heh, I know the reason why it is happening.
When you are doing the ext partition through CWM, the whole reserved space to this partition is corrupted. That's why there is an error messege when i'm trying to install zip rom. The file is corrupted immediately, and you can't even unpack him in windows, or linux.
Right now I am using the GParted. There is no more errors, after I did the partitions using this program
ufff
Thx 4 help anyway
