AWESOME!

I've just done all the tricks, & it works :)

I've been on windows phone since so long, i'm glad to use Droid on dual boot (wp7 has this annoying multitouch problem). Unlock all the HD2's Power!

@Karting06

Are u using a right UNLOCKDEVPARTXXGB of your SD card?

I mean, the 'XXGB' has to be smaller than your SD card.

Another question : did u click the 'StorageLock' Tile before send UNLOCKDEVPARTXXGB ?

I want to ask you guys :

Do you have any compatibility issues with some Apps in market?

(Like Youtube, Google Maps..?)

EDIT: Solved! It was AmericanDroid SD ROM who has some issues with the new market.

If you got this problem just change DPI (LCD Dencity) to 240. Here you go.

Also,

Big Thanks to gasanpride for his detailed procedure.

That helped me a lot :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] anseio:
I'm having the most interesting problem. I've been using an 8GB Kingston class 4 SD card since I got this phone 3 weeks ago. It's worked well for both WP7 and android. The - w/ WP7 was the poor battery life (due to SD card I think).

Anyway, I really wanted to dual boot. So, I got a 16GB class 4 SD card and it wouldn't even boot into WP7. I then changed it for another brand and WP7 works very well with one small, yet significant exception... I cannot use the StorageUnlocker app. If I do, the device will not fully boot into WP7 and freezes up.

I've started from the beginning (Windows Mobile 6.5) and rebuilt everything. I can put in WP7 7004 and reboot/reset as many times as I want. I can install StorageLock and reboot/reset as many times as I'd like w/o issue. It's not until I actually USE StorageLock to unlock the SD card that I can no longer boot into WP7. This is very interesting, since I do not have this issue w/ the 8GB SD card. Do I really need to try another card out? This is crazy.

Perhaps I won't have battery issues w/ WP7 and the new card. If that's the case, perhaps I'll just put Android on a separate SD card and swap them out - if that isn't a total PITA (sarcasm).

Any thoughts?

EDIT - spoke too soon. When I was trying to partition the 16GB SD card from the beginning, I was having issues and then got an error about storage. I thought I bricked the card until I saw that I was having the same problem with the 8GB as well. I decided to just install 7004 and try all of the tools there, instead of spending so much time to upgrade THEN try the tools. Updated to 7392 via CabSender. So far, so good. StorageLock is working. Will see if I can successfully partition now.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] gasanpride:
I experienced the same issue I think. You have not mentioned but looks like you are installing the StorageLock on 7004. Sometimes WP7 freezes up on 7004 to 7392. This was mentioned by XBMod himself. You have to continue and finish all updates up to 7720 before intalling the DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab and DEV_EXTRAPART_xxxG.cab .

See below also the note by XbMod.

"Some SDcards are not compatibles but very few, for other the microsoft drivers are not good in versions before 7392

So if you have any problems with SDcard after first 7004 flash (boot in loop) or can't upgrade 7008 do this:

- Flash the rom without SDcard

Or if you have already flashed remove it and do a factory reset

- After system loaded, update to 7392 without SD card

- After booting succesfully 7392 go in settings/about and reset the phone

- When phone reboot insert your SDcard

- You will load system and the SDcard should works well now

- Continue to update to 7720 but this time with SDcard"
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] anseio:
Thanks for the tips. I'm having much more success in 7392. Now, this next problem I first had in 7720 and I'm also getting in 7392. Perhaps I don't understand how the partitioning works...

When I look at the long tutorials for partitioning (before the extrastorage cab) I NEVER have my SD card looking like the videos do in EASEUS partition manager. I have a 200MB unallocated and not other space to speak of - not a 200MB FAT16 with the rest of the SD unallocated.

If I use the extrastorage cab, I can get WP7 to still boot... until I format the now 7GB unallocated space. When that is formatted FAT32 32kb or 64kb, I can no longer boot into WP7. I get "Storage card not working"...

Grrr...

Maybe, I'll just abandon my dual boot desires. :|
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] gasanpride:
Nope don't give up. Discard the partioning that you learned prior to Mango. The process is different now after the Xbmod/Yuki 7720. Not sure if you had read my previous post. Check this out first

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] anseio:
Thanks for the link.

I have a problem with #4:

My very first partitioning attempt today was using the extrapart...cab and my last attempt today was by doing the same. Each time, I install the .cab, reset WP7, confirm the new partition size in settings, power down (into magldr) and put the SD card into a reader and then into my VAIO F laptop. Explorer immediately presents a message that the drive needs to be formatted. If I comply, then I lose the card and WP7 won't use it. To recover the card, I have to reinstall 7004. To attempt again, I have to update to 7720. Soooooo time consuming.

I made note in another thread, re: the old partitioning method, that I don't see a 200MB FAT16 partition and an unformatted partition. My Win7 Home Premium x64 only shows an unallocated 200MB partition. If I boot into Parted Magic, I do get to see the partitions correctly.

So... I made a little, albeit sloppy, experiment. I installed the extrapart cab, put the SD card into Win7, ignored the format request, loaded into EASEUS and saw only 8GB of unallocated (the correct size). I did nothing in EASEUS. I then rebooted into Parted Magic. The partition completely disappeared and I was left with 14.94GB of unallocated. That wasn't good. So, I booted back into Windows and EASEUS showed the same 14GB unallocated. WTF? Who/what/when/where/how changed/removed the partitions?

In the process of updating to Mango again, thought that has been pissily problematic and errs out after 30 minutes. I'm not a fan of processes failing in the midst of other problematic processes. You know... like when you have a program that won't run/install, so you have to fix something else, but that something else breaks down and you spend 8 hours to resolve it. You're wiped out at the end and you still don't have a working program. Ugh.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Robbie P:
you should not need to re-flash.

Do a hard reset from settings/about/reset your phone, with sd in, and the partition should be set up.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] anseio:
When getting the "storage error", stating that it's missing/corrupted, you don't actually get to boot into WP7 and cannot perform a hard reset. You're offered Emergency (calls) or Turn Off (power down), but nothing else.

I've tried the vol up/down device reset, but that did no good. Is there another hard reset that can be performed?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Robbie P:
Do hard reset after all update if you have freeze or any problem

(When Magldr show WPH LOAD 12345 GO GO GO Press Vol+ & Vol- then after the new screen press VOL- twice.)

You tried this?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] anseio:
Thanks! I was actually just reading up on that option, as I realized that I might not be doing that hard reset correctly. That will most certainly shorten my troubleshooting loops.

Now, to get that partition to work. I don't get why my Win7 won't do this right. I might also just install the extrapart.cab and see if Gparted can see it. If it can, then I'll put the Android files on via Parted Magic. I used to use Parted Magic to get music from Mac ipods onto my PC. hehehe
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] kunsam:
hi ganaspride, you talk of resetting the phone from about | settings after the extrapart update. but it says all data and apps will be erased from the phone. is that fine?

also, extrapart for me is just NOT installing. not sure what's happening but it says that no applicable applications found...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Robbie P:
You must hard reset for the extrapartition to be set up on your SD. Your txts will be lost. Zune will restore your apps (If 5 phone limit not exceeded) and windows live will restore your contacts. You must restore Xaps yourself.

you are getting no applicable apps message because you have already sent extrapart but have not yet hard reset.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] kunsam:
thanks Robbie! by 'hard reset' you mean, i should go to about | phone and reset phone? please confirm.. i am scared that doing this will take me back to wp7 and i will have to spend those hours to bring the phone back to 7720. thanks again
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Robbie P:
see post 46 above, it is the same as settings/about reset. one is Hard reset outside WP7 the other inside it.

Once at 7720 any probs just hard reset. you shouldn't need to re-flash.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] kunsam:
Thanks Man!! I am currently booting Jaguar's latest MIUI Android build from the other partition :-)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] anseio:
Why does this seem to be working for everyone on the planet but me?

I got back to 7720 and installed extrapart. Did the hard resets. Confirmed the storage space. Confirmed in PartedMagic and Ubuntu that the partition existed. Put the Android folders on the SD card. Magldr would not allow me to select a bootdir. It would switch back to the home screen after less than 1sec of displaying folder list.

Booted back into WP7, to confirm it still works. Yes. Back to magldr to try to set dir again. Forgot to unlock storage this time, so back to WP7 and BAM! Storage error again. Tried the recommended 1234 hard reset vol down/down... attempted this twice. Got Storage error each time.

So, this hard reset still doesn't solve the problem and I'm 4 hours in between each partition attempt.

Why the eff am I having such issues with this?

EDIT - am able to 1234 hard reset into WP7 w/o SD inserted. hopefully, internal reset will capture the card again.

PNY 16gb class 4 and/or Kingston 8gb class 2

This isn't striking me as a storage issue. Windows 7, very specifically, is refusing to recognize the partition structure from WP7 and extrapart.

For example. I just recovered by removing SD and doing 1234 hard reset. Another reset w/ SD inserted and back to normal. Still have the 8GB extrapartition. Can storage unlock, boot into magldr, USB Mass Storage and windows 7 notices the drive AND it's format, though I seem to be having file xfr issues and it's not recommended to put rom's on that way.

I can take that SD card, put it into the adaptor and into the reader slot on my lappy. Windows 7 all of a sudden doesn't recognize the format and demands it to be formatted. I cancelled. Put the SD back into device and booted into WP7. Storage error. Window 7 is screwy w/ the partitions for me. :(

EDIT - Ubuntu has no issues w/ the partitions. Got data onto SD card and HD2 is starting jaguar android as I type this. How weird that my copy of windows will not do this for me. Thank you again for helping me to properly hard reset outside of WP7. Such a time saver.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Robbie P:
Obviously the 8Gb partition will not work with the 8Gb card. And it may be that the 16Gb card is incompatible.

Try to put in 8gb card and hard reset. send extrapartition_remove.cab(if this doesn't work try it with the 16gb card), hard reset, send 4Gbextrapartition, hard reset,unlock the storage and check in lappy

Edit; you may want to try a different usb port too

Edit 2; while u r waiting, check this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18641613&postcount=5

Edit 3; I dual booted like this for a while, it actually works fine. Imade a cellotape p0cket inside the back cover for the spare sd. Takes a little longer to switch over but about the same time if you forgot to unlock it;))
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] anseio:
I'm having a hard time resisting the urge to be sarcastic. Of course, I know that the 8GB partition will not work on the 8GB card. What I've been trying to explain is that Windows 7 (not WP7), on my machine, refuses to acknowledge the partition structure created by WP7.

When I first tried w/ my 8GB card, a few weeks ago, I noticed that I wasn't getting the same partition readout in EASEUS as all of the tutorials for the old method. I didn't know what I was doing, so I didn't do anything.

Now, with the newer and larger card, I'm more comfortable w/ WP7/Android/HD2. So... following the old partitioning method, Windows 7 does not see a 200MB FAT16 and an unformatted partition. Mine only shows 200MB unformatted. In Ubuntu/PartedMagic, the partitions show up correctly.

If I use the extrapartition method, I have a similar problem with Windows 7. When I use my SD card adaptor and insert it into my card reader slot on the laptop (which I've used w/o issue for over a year), Windows 7 says it's unformatted. Even if I cancel out, Windows 7 has done something and rendered the card unusable in the phone until a hard reset is performed w/ no SD card inserted.

I have no problem using extrapartition and Ubuntu to transfer the files.

This is not a problem with the SD card, and seems more an issue with either Windows 7 Home Premium x64 or MY installation of it from Sony.

I appreciate the help that you've offered me. Please keep in mind the great detail I've given in each of my replies so that I don't feel like I'm repeating myself over and over again.

EDIT - I've been considering the option of using on card for Android and another for WP7. Thanks for the link. I don't think it will really work for what I think I want to be doing. I'll know better after a few days of an actual dual boot. Swapping cards on the go isn't appealing. Especially considering that my SD card slot on the HD2 isn't very nice in letting go of the card. Need to edge it out with a sharp object, since I have extremely short fingernails due to my work.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Robbie P:
Sorry for my misunderstanding.

I don't get the same as you with windows 7 on my laptop.

It seems to be an issue with your system. Update drivers?

Edit; I know you are going to flame me now, so I will shut up. But, did you delete MBR etc. before last flash?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] politiclaw:
I've got a 16gb card, and honestly, I wasn't looking to dual-boot so much as just place android back on nand and have my sd card back in place properly. The issue I've got is after unlocking the card and using the 14gb extrapartition cab, that's all my card has: 14gb. Not 14.8 or 14.9gb as it should.

What am I doing wrong?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] anseio:
So, no more wp7 for you? I think you need to remove the extra partition cab before you can get the whole card back

What about a quick reflash of 7004? It should recapture the whole card, then storage unlock it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Robbie P:
You should put your sd into PC and use sdformatter (or easues partition master) to resize the partition to full and format.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] politiclaw:
Hey anseio,

The solution to getting my card back to 14.8gb was, after having unlocked the card again, placing it in the pc and using SDFormatter with the "FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT" option turned on. I found the suggestion in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18571783&postcount=55

As for WP7, it's a nice os, no doubt about it. Very smooth. And the interface is certainly very different and interesting in it's own right. But I'm wedded to google services and some of the google apps for WP just aren't up to snuff, in my opinion. I also thought the browser was slightly lacking. Again, it's a good os, but it's just not for me.

Anyway, thanks for responding and wanting to help. It's really appreciated!

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Guess I responded just a moment after Robbie P's helpful advice! Indeed, SDFormatter did the trick! So, for anyone else in my predicament, don't hesitate to give it a shot. But of course, be sure to do so after you've unlocked your sd card first!

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tauntt:
OK for the life of me I can't get this to work. Do you need to install DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab and DEV_EXTRAPART_xxxG.cab at the same time? I tried both at a time and one at a time, and couldn't get it to work. I unlock card put in my PC and the 200meg partition is still 200megs. Any help would be great thanks.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] anseio:
You need to install dev_storagelock and it will stay in your apps list. You need to then install the extrapart cab of your choosing. After that, perform a hard reset. Then go to Settings > About and confirm that your WP7 partition size is near the size you intended (will be 1GBish smaller). When this is done, run Storage Lock app and then you can put the SD card into your computer and the partitions should be there.

In the event that you're having a similar problem that I had, you might want to try booting into a different OS. My particular situation is such that Windows 7 on my VAIO F will not see the SD card as being properly formatted. So, when I put the card in the adapter and into the laptop, I'm asked to format. If I choose not to, and load into partition manager, I can only see one partition as unformatted. When I boot into Ubuntu, I have no issues whatsoever. The partition structure appears correctly for the Android section and I'm able to move files back and forth. Sadly, I have to boot into Ubuntu any time I want to add large files or change my Android build.

On the first try of flashing system with play_modded, i got some error message like android.process.acore & android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly, so I soft reset it to factory setting and flash system again and succeeded, with no error message.

But the problem is after the root process, my phone can't detect 3G network. The service provider I am using has two options, 2G and 3G, and phone can only detect 2G network.

Another problem is that although I can find WiFi networks and connect, WiFi connection is not working anymore (no data send/receive through WiFi).

For starters unlock ur bootloader again, as you need it to flash the kernel (which in my opinion is worth keeping), then go over to the developers sub forum, download the UK generic 4.0.whatever the rest of the code is firmware, flash it with flashtool, the go to doomlords thread and download his kernel.
