[HD2 General] HypoTurtle:
At a guess I'd say that the sdcard needs to be seen as one single device, it's not the fat32 partition that is seen as sdcard but the whole card

(in partition terms mmcblk0 is taken as sdcard; with partitions being mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p2 etc.), and I think having both primary and logical partitions causes the mmcblk0 device to be unreadable / broken as a single device.
[HD2 General] melando:
Does anyone know a good way to make the WP7 partition smaller (less than half of the card)?

This was possible using xbmod's partition CABs ... has anyone achieved it directly using partition software?
[HD2 General] hellrokr:
hmm.. i guess that could be it...

ok.. thanks !

is it even possible?

i didn't know that.. would love to hear from someone who could have achieved this.

Also one more update

I was able to access my SD card(FAT32) in windows
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
From http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913815 , it seems that it is only this one-card-method that needs to have wp7 partition larger than android. Probably because wp7 is reset before being installed to the partition.

With two-card-method, wp7 is only switched off and the contents of smaller card are copied to larger one.

So with a careful choice of small card size you can have any size wp7 on larger card. Remember you can first partition your smaller card before copying to larger card, so it does not need to be the whole size of the smaller card.

Should work, any testers?

I tried the instructions given on the thread:

Install the PartitionGuru http://www.eassos.com/partitionguru/download.php

Right click the first partition(fat32 partition), select Modify Partition Parameters(F11), Change the System identifier to 07: HPFS, then apply and close PartitionGuru.

p.s. - this didn't work for me. did it work for you? what did work for you to get wp7 to read the fat32 party we made together? let us know in this thread, so we can all party!!
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
Oh the OP was meaning WP7 accessing fat32

I thought you meant you accessed your WP7 from windows on PC

But re-reading what you posted, it seems you can access your fat32 from pc:confused:

Assuming you have done what OP suggested, where in WP7 is fat32 accessed?
[HD2 General] melando:
Had a look into the xbox cab mod. I think it is simply a registry edit as follows:-

"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BlockDevice\UniBlk]

"ExtraPartitionSize"=dword:4000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory\FATFS]

"FormatFatVersion"=dword:20

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDHCMemory\FATFS]

"FormatFatVersion"=dword:20"

The above example is for a 16GB FAT32 partition, i.e. 4000(hex) = 16384(decimal). Might it be possible to increase the default 200MB FAT16 partition directly in WP7 by making the same registry changes and a reset?
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
I would have thought that those registry values were Yuki/XBmod ROM-specific, but they are also in Ansar's latest ROM. Might be worth a go for someone;)
[HD2 General] hellrokr:
Its accessed from file manager. You'll see a "sdcard" named folder. There you can see all your fat32 files

Sorry for the confusion ;)
[HD2 General] melando:
Certainly would be quicker and simple than using a PC if it works :)
[HD2 General] Whatdoyaknow:
Looks different in pdaimatejam 7.8 rom

SDHCMemory =32

SDMemory = 16

ExtraPat size = 200
[HD2 General] melando:
Think those are the same i.e. WP7 defaults (200MB partition at FAT16 or FAT32)

The values I originally posted were from the xbox mod registry change to create a larger FAT partition (which in particular can be more than half of the memory card capacity)
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
seems to me to be a bit of a guessing game.;)

If it were simply a matter of a regedit and reset to change partition size, the devs would have done it some time ago.

Nevertheless, I don't have anything in nand ATM, so when I get time to re-install wp7 i will play around with it. You know how it is:D

Perfect Setup and WP7 access of the fat32 partition

Hi fellows,

this is my setup:

fat32 . 26 G

SDext4 : 1,5 G

WP7 : 4 G

To reach this I used a combination of this tutorial and the two card method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913815

This all worked fine and I installed Jelly Bean running parallel to WP7.8 Ansar.

After that I tried this trick:

After booting WP7 I checked it out with TouchExplorer and voilà it shows a storage card - but as an unknown file, so I couldn´t access it.

I checked it out with BT File Transfer then and wow with this I could access my fat32 partition :)

So I installed unique File Manager, and yes it works!!

Hey, this is really cool now and what I always wanted.

For example I take a picture with jelly bean, later when in WP7 I can access the media folder on the fat32 and show the picture with WP7.

I love my HD2, this devices rocks.

Thanks noobinious and everyone else here.

Unable to format locked card-unlocked card forces hard-reset

Hi, I tried to use the method listed above for making my HD2 dual-bootable. Currently, I already have the XBMod-Yuki "Back to the future" ROM on my HD2. Hence, I did not need to install the WP7 ROM initially on my system. However, I did backup and reset the phone as it appears to be necessary from the instructions.

But I am encountering multiple issues when following the instructions.

When I do the following steps-"After you're in WP7, go to settings (press right arrow on top right of screen, scroll down, touch settings), scroll down, touch about, notice total and available storage amounts, scroll down, touch reset, touch ok/yes. when it powers off hold down the power button (quickly, if the usb cable is still plugged in it will cause the phone to automatically start) to boot back into magldr. DO NOT LET IT BOOT BACK INTO WP7. If that happens,you will have to 'reset' it from settings again"-the SD Card is unreadable in Windows 7(PC) on two separate laptops. The Card reader is detected, but not the media in it. This was the issue with two separate cards (2 GB & 4GB, as I did not want to damage my larger cards) on two separate media card readers on two separate laptops running Windows 7.

Mercifully, I found that the solution in the first quote on the following page (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1337637&page=5) works. That solution hard-resets the phone from the MAGLDR menu. I was able to get both cards working again following those steps. And I had to reset Windows Phone 7 multipe times to get it working with the card.

I found that I can get the card to be visible and formatted in Windows 7 (PC) if I unlock it in WP7. However, if I format the card (while unlocked), WP7 does not start up and forces me to hard-reset it. That wipes all the partitions out and locks it again.

So, if I let the card be locked by WP7, I can not partition it as it is not even visible in Windows 7(PC).

If I unlock it and partition it successfully, WP7 refuses to boot up with it and forces me to hard-reset the phone.

I've even tried unlocking the card, partitioning it in Windows 7(PC) while keeping WP7 running on the phone, reinserting the card and then restarting the phone to see if it is OK. Even that forces me to hard-reset the phone. I've hard-reset the phone atleast 20-30 times today, over 5 hours. What am I doing worng?

[HD2 General] dolkic:
how to install another android version? could I just format ext4 partition (leaving all values as they were) and then just got to recovery and install android?

Cheers!
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
It depends if you have enough room on your ext4. If so, then just install the new one too. Most Roms have a multiboot application by datagr which allows you to switch between ROMs easily.

Hello, I know im boring but so existed for native sd :)

Now if i want to delete wp (its fast but lack off apps that im using) i need to task29 and then install magld again.

So if i just want ti use native sd roms should i have anything installed on nand or?

If i want for exemple 3 native sf roms should I create 3 ext4 partitons or just one bigger and then install with ext4 recovery anf switch betwen them with app for nativesd?
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
If you don't want anything on nand, then leave it as is. As soon as you format your wp7 sdcard you will loose wp7. No need to task 29 because you wont use it.

If you want more nativeSD roms then increase the size of your ext partition. and switch between them.

Good luck
[HD2 General] dolkic:
Will format it, I have 8 Gb sd card, and about 3,6 is on Windows as I needed to format sd card that way, so I will leave NAND free :)

Guys, when I am creating the ext4 partition in minitool, the card is coming up as "Bad Disk".

What could be the problem?
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
Do a surface check in minitool (right click on disk i think)

You can try formatting card with sdformatter

Then use minitool to create partition

Then use recovery on phone to re-format the ext4 (sometimes minitool ext4 format don't work)

Good luck
[HD2 General] cypersnap:
I have 32GB MicroSd card, What size should i allocate to the Fat32 partition and the Ext4 Partition ? :confused:
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
It depends on how many NativeSD roms you want to have on your card, and how many apps you want on each rom. A rough estimate would be 1.5 Gb ext4 for each NativeSD rom. Of course they can share the same media, ie music, photos etc., which is stored on the fat32, for android.

WP7 uses its own media storage, so first decide what your wp7 size will be. Then choose your ext4 size and the remainder fat32.

if i were starting on dual booting wp7 and android, i would have roughly

1st. 10 gb fat32

2nd. 6 gb ext4

3rd. 16 gb wp7

(all primary)

but it is up to you.

remember that you can't resize the wp7 partition. But you can backup and re-size the other two.

Hope this helps

smaller WP7

Hi, sorry for replying on old post...

I want to dual boot WP7 with nexus android 4.3 on a 16GB SD, my problem is I'm not going to be using WP7 much and I just wanted to get it to try it out, just for the experience.

I have to cards on me the said 16GB and another 2GB. In the other (older) thread that talked about dual booting, you could set windows up on a small SD and then paste it into the bigger one..

Can I do that with this or not?
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
You can, but if i were you i would just use the 2Gb card for wp7, and use your bigger card for android nativeSD. Then you just swap cards when you want to swap OSes (and boot either wph or ad sd using magldr). You can put a cellotape sleeve on the back of your battery cover (either side of sponge) to hold the unused sdcard. And it gives you a whopping 16Gb for plenty of NativeSD roms + media.;)
[HD2 General] krusion:
If it's just about space then it's not a problem because it's not my main phone.. I'm be using it just for fun....

But I have a few other questions though because I'm still new to this, I've searched a lot but since there are so many old posts some contradict others:

1. If I were to put WP7 on NAND and Android on SD, is there a way to return everything back to normal, it's my uncle's phone he says he doesn't want it anymore and I wanted to fiddle around with it, but just in case he asks for it.. can I put everything back in it's place?

2. If I were to go with the other option you mentioned, have each on a separate SD, will that leave the WP 6.5 untouched ?

3. The above question, is it just about space or do they backfire on each other or something?

So I searched a bit more and I couldn't find a way to install windows 7 on an SD. If what you meant was installing WP7 on NAND and then installing android on SD.. And when I want to use WP7 i gotta remove the SD and so on then it's worthless. Because it'll give me 2GB of extra space but the risk, if I were to forget to change the SD card, of losing android which would be a pain. Unless I could put WP7 on an SD and Android on the other SD and keep WP6.5 the same..

4. What do you think?
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
I just think why bother partitioning your 16Gb card, when you have a spare card. But it is your (uncle's) phone, your choice:D
[HD2 General] krusion:
might end up just putting android on there and saving myself the trouble haha. Well do I need to install a new radio for both scenarios (only android or android and wp7)?

1. Which radio do I use, does it really matter? It's not a T-mobile phone.I'll

2. I'll install HSPL, which one should I use I've seen up to 4

3. then use this: youtube(DOT)com/watch?v=kn5A6TVUxeg but with the ROM i want.. Did I miss anything?

Now if I want to go back, I'll uninstall the HSPL, bring back my old radio, and install my old ROM (if i install WP7)? In which order? and did I miss anything ?

Sorry, if this is out of this thread's span but I finally found someone that could help me :D
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
Sorry delay,

1. important for android is x.x.50.x, your choice which (see my sig for mine)

2. Suggest 2.08, you can use HSPL4 to install 2.08, see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5279236

3. Not seen that, but it should be OK

If you want to go back install your original SPL, then install your WM6.5 (the radio should be included), or just put wm6.5 back on and leave hspl on it, uncle probably won't notice;)

Good luck
[HD2 General] krusion:
Put win6.5 as if I'm flashing it on the NAND?
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
yes, wm6.5 lives in nand
[HD2 General] krusion:
Okay perfect that should be everything I need, at least for now haha

I'll be busy tomorrow so I'll probably do it after tomorrow, If I got stuck I'll reply here.

If it was successful, I might later on decide on trying win7.8 but for now I'll just stick with android 4.3.

If I decide on removing android and just keeping win 6.5, can I keep the radio and HSPL, would it affect win6.5 in anyway, would someone notice it?

Thanks and I'm sorry if I was a thorn in your back side :angel:
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
I am pretty sure wm6.5 has it's own radio included in the RUU***.exe you download from htc, you can check the version you have because it shows up on the screen when you boot wm6.5, iirc.

I don't think your uncle would notice if hspl was left on the phone. htc might notice if the phone went in for repair, but it is an old phone;)
[HD2 General] krusion:
wait now i'm actually confused... Let's forget windows 7 for now, If I want to install android I have to install a new radio, correct?

Now let's say I installed that radio, will I still be able to use windows 6.5 with that radio? OR that radio doesn't even affect windows6.5 ?

If it's gonna be compatible with win6.5 then I don't have to do anything but delete android off the SD card, correct?

What if the stock radio was already x.x.50.x (is that even possible) then I wouldn't need anything then.
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
I am getting confused now, it was ages ago when i installed hspl, so am reading up on it myself.

If you dont want wp7, and your wm6.5 has a 2.x.50.x radio, you should be able to boot android from wm6.5, see this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1986437

If you want android or wp7 in nand, you will have to install hspl2.08 and if your radio is wrong you will have to install that too.
[HD2 General] krusion:
Perfect. Thanks a ton. I'll have a look around there!

i was hoping to see if anyone has a prefered kernel for cm9. i had my fun with jb but its not as stable as ics so i'm taking a step backwards.

thanks shall be given for any guide lines. gradddsi!

basically everytime i do a back up, it saves to the sd card. but i cant manage my backups because rom manager reads internal memory instead. is there a way to get rom manager to read the sd. i read somewhere you cant really change the default path of the gs3..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] -FuRBz-:
What version are you using?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
One quick and easy thing you can try...

In Root Explorer you can link to folders and files. I dont know if other file explorers do this but heres how.

Long press on the folder you want to link to and select link to this...

Then browse to the internal sdcard and press done to complete the action.

Now in Rom Mgr you should be able to see and change to that folder.

Note that if you clear dalvik or data uou will have to reapply this.

Another way would be to use sn init.d script that creates the link every boot. But of course you must have a rom with init.d support.

Hope that helps you out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] seifumizu:
i have the latest version of rom, and i downloaded root explorer but i didnt see the link option.

does cwm naturally back up to sd card? if so this brings me to another thing

i nandroid back up awhile back before i exchanged my phone for a new one (mura effect. got a good on btw) i put my sd card in and my back up wasnt there :(

so it seems my phone backs up where ever it wants haha...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
When you long press on an item, Link to this Folder is the last option in the menu that pulls up.

Most apps by default save to sdcard, which happens to be what Samsung decided to call the Internal storage. I dont use Rom Manager anymore (I like Goo Manager/TWRP recovery better) but wasn't there an option to manually enter the path to the folder you want to use? Didn't think of that earlier. If so enter this (it is case sensitive):

/mnt/extSdCard/PathToYourFolder/

If not, look for that link option again. You have to scroll down the menu so it may be easy to miss.
