Finally I succeeded in this method.

I did wiped the partition created by the WP7 and now I created 6gb fat32 partition and 1.5 gb for wp7 which is unformatted.

But got a small problem, After checking the storage space in wp7, It shows me as only 15mb left.

Anyway I finally have wm7 and Android. Copenhagen's Android build is running smoothly
[HD2 Android SD Development] hyellow:
I don't think you have done it right. You will have to do it all over again for WP7 to recognize the storage space. make sure that wp7 has a larger partition then android or else it won't work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] 5pteron:
However. I am not able to increase the size of FAT16 partition with the unallocated partition no matter what. It's because the Unformatted WP7 partition is placed in the middle of the two partitions(FAT16 and Unallocated).

I made sure I placed the Unformatted partition to the end (right) of the SD card. But when I carry on the reset on WP7 and go to partition manager, the Unformatted partition comes in the middle.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hyellow:
but does the storage space shows the right info on yur phone? are you using easus partition manager? maybe you should repeat the procedure step by step.

the WP7 partitin has to be bigger than the fat16 and unallocated space combined.

Help

i manage to set all the partitions correctly. the problem i am having now is android will not boot from MAGLDR, it just keeps freezing, i have tried about four edited sd builds. is there something i am missing?
[HD2 Android SD Development] adityakishoor:
i installed android by this metdod

Step 1 ~ Install Download MAGLDR 1.11 package from xda-developers and extract to an empty folder on your pc. Video:YouTube - How To Install Android NAND ROM On HTC HD2 (No SD Card Needed) With MAGLDR Original MAGLDR Thread by Cotulla is [DFT]MAGLDR 1.11 released! [GOGOGO stuck fixed] - xda-developers

Step 2 ~

CWR partition layout

Power on phone holding power button to access magldr menu.

Select the "USB Flasher" item.

Next select the "Boot AD SD" item.

Volume key select 'update sd card' select 'update zip' press 'call' key running scrip after done select "reboot system now" Now the Rebooting will take about 5 minute
[HD2 Android SD Development] duhhh:
10x for this,now i have dual boot wp7 and MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
That is the method for clockwork recovery, but your rom is installed on the nand. If you want to run WP7, you won't be able to keep that android build. You can run a SD build of android while you have wp7 installed, but not a NAND or CW build.... at least not at this time. Maybe one day we will be able to have 2 OS's on NAND.
[HD2 Android SD Development] danz8509:
when it says you can run android and windows phone 7 off the memory card does that mean you can have windows 6.5 as well without the memory card

VIDEO

Hey guys I just uploaded a video based on "hyellow" method for those with only one card and one card reader.

Please someone put-it somewhere where people can see-it.

All the credits goes to "hyellow" I just make-it easiest to follow. ;)

[HD2 Android SD Development] zimaxo:
i did the partitioning successfully (8gb sandisk), but my android can only read the data.img (1gb) space as internal one & cant find the rest of the space as sd card (3gb) (it says there's no sd card inserted)

hlep pleaz:confused:​
[HD2 Android SD Development] adityakishoor:
SO WILL THIS ROM WORK????

(Android SD Build)UPD(02.01.11)MCCM HD V4.0 [DESIRE HD Sense]
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
No, WP7 takes up the NAND space, and you can boot Android from SD with magldr. Cotulla is working on a SD version of WM65 though, so if he successfully creates that, we will be able to boot WP7 from NAND and WM65 and Android from SD.

You have to use minitool partition manager to change your wp7 partition from logical to primary... then your android build will be able to mount your sd card successfully. I attached it for you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
Yeah, you can probably get that build to work... you will have to edit the init.rc file so it will be compatible with magldr. There's a sticky thread in this section, probably right next to this thread, that explains how to edit a build to make it boot with magldr. If I get a chance tonight, I might check out that build and see if I can get it to boot after editing it. It should work... every build I've tried editing except for phiremod has worked for me so far.
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
The MCCM Desire HD 4 build works by replacing the rootfs.img with the edited rootfs.img file made by Ricola7 for MDJ Desire HD 4.6 which you can find here:

[HD2 Android SD Development] gilla87:
nice! Also, regarding the edited init files, will ricolas work with cmylxgo DHD builds? I want that running as my DHD build if anything seeing as its tmo USA optimized.

Sent from my htc HD2/7 using Board Express
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
probably not, but if you tell me which build you want, I'll edit it for you and send it to you when I get a chance. You're talking about the topia series, right?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kinga33:
Everything works but when I boot in android it does not see SD card only 1gb data image. Anyone else has this problem
[HD2 Android SD Development] georo:
In post #372 you have a tool to change the partition from logical to primary use that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hyellow:
Gosh, I can not take any credits. We should thank darrengladysz, the OP. If he had not started this thread, I didn't even know we could partition sd cards.

Thank you for the video tutorial, It'll be a great help to the xda community.

I have set up my HD2 to my wishes now, so the next few days I won't be experimenting and partitioning my phone again, but I am looking forward to all new tips and tricks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
There are 2 partitions. The unformatted partition is a math error :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] ricola7:
Yeah, you are right ...I counted the unallocated part as a partition as well ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] isaiah12345:
is the wp7 rom run from the rom or the partition on the sd? and is it possible to use the rom without an sd?
[HD2 Android SD Development] tigerlocc:
Great tutorial darrengladysz, very thorough and concise!

I had a bit of a problem though with partitioning my main SanDisk 16GB card. For some reason Easeus Partition Master wouldn't allow me to resize/delete it. I did a little browsing and came across this solution which works perfectly.

"Steve wrote:

How do I delete a partiion on a micro SD card when it is plugged into an XP

machine on USB?

No way without 3rd party tools. Windows sees the card

reader as drive with a removable media and here partitioning

is not supported. If multiple partitions are present then

only the first one is mounted.

A complete erase of the card can be done by my DiskErase tool:

If you format it afterwards in a digicam, then you will

get one single partition. If you format it under XP then

you get a "super floppy" (no partition table).

Maybe the "EASEUS Partition Master" can deal with partitions

on removable drives (I've never tried):

Or turn the cardreader into a "fixed" drive, then partitioning

is supported by XP:

Uwe"

I downloaded the Disk Erase tool and set it to erase my 16 GB card though it did take a very long hour or two it did the job and removed the partition. Now I'm off to mess around with it!

P.S. Sorry I can't link the app because of the new user limitation. I tried attaching it to this post let's see if it works

I've success to load the WP7, but when I load the Android on SD card, the first Android screen is loaded, and then start to load the SD card, but then it freeze on this screen and I need to take out the battery to reset.

How can I successfully load my Android back????
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
i think not all Android builds are supported... what build were you using ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] nzxtneo:
I tried booting the NexusHD2-FRG83D V1.8 build and it froze on start up. I tried it about 5 times, so I guess that one doesn't work.

Damn...
[HD2 Android SD Development] DJGurth:
thanks for the reply, I think its an sd card issue, my card looks exactly like yours the only difference is the name of the card, which I assume doesn't make a difference

Thanks this is a great tutorial
[HD2 Android SD Development] georo:
Everything working fine on mine but when I open the camera is asking to insert a sd card anyone know what is going on I follow all the steps with formatting etc.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rbrookstx:
My findings

I've since done this several times and have been trying to find different quicker ways (there doesn't seem to be one). Some notes.

1) You don't seem to be able to make any pre-partitioning schemes to the card pre wp7 install (tried ext2, 3, 4, exfat, etc) as it WILL be over-written.

2) You can't resize the WP7 partition after its been created, it changes the software raid FS that WP7 uses

3) This takes a VERY long time, please be patient.

4) I activated my live services AFTER I copied the file systems. I ended up creating a copy in VFS for backup once I was done. Hopefully this process will be easier in the future.

So if I have 2 sd cards(one for android and other for WM7), how do I load my android OS from my android SD card within WM7 ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
You load android from magldr, not wp7.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tigerlocc:
Thanks for the tut for dual booting. I got WP7 working good so far, however my attempts at loading Android from SD (specifically the build you mentioned in your post) is stuck on the htc loading screen.

I know you mentioned it takes long to load in your tutorial, but it's been a good 30 - 40 minutes on my second try now and it's still there. Is that the amount of time you had to wait for it to load? Or is it longer? Can you please let me know.

I didn't place it on the SD card in the "Android" folder - should I have done this? I placed it in there as "desire_z" and choose that directly for loading Android in MAGLDR.

Thanks again

P.S. I pm'd you too but thought it would be good to put this out in the open in case anybody else is experiencing the same problems
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
I also had issues with freezing and found it took long. I added a step that helped me with speed (see revised 1st post - New step 8a). Basically reformat the fat32 partition with 32 or 64 kb sectors while still in windows. I used 64 kb.

Each build has its own folder. I used desire_z as this was the instruction for this particular build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tigerlocc:
Oh I see. I'll try that out and report back with my results. Did you see a considerable amount of improvement with this fix? And if you don't mind me asking how long does it take for you to load the build?

Thanks for the quick reply
[HD2 Android SD Development] R2HD2:
I May Have Found A Way To Partition Using ONE CARD, Keeping The WP7 Data Intact, Activation Intact And Still Having The Ability To Run Android. Copying Over Files Right Now, About To Fully Test ... Will Report Back.

UPDATE : After Partitioning ONE CARD, WP7 Boots Normal - If Already Activated, You Lose Activation On Partition Reboot. MAGLDR Recognizes Partitions, And Setting Android Folder Works, As For Android : MATTC FROYO 1.5b Tested ... Starts Up But No Dice. After Loading To Lockscreen, It Shuts Itself Down.
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
Time to install was about 15 minutes give or take a few. Speed and stability much enhanced by this.

BTW this was a trick used with sd android builds. The idea is that using 64kb sectors requires less trips than 16 or 32 kb sectors.

I may try some other builds later and will include in 1st post.

IF ANYONE HAS SUCCESS WITH OTHER BUILDS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANKS
[HD2 Android SD Development] tigerlocc:
Sounds good R2HD2, keep us posted! Though for those of us who have already foregone transplanting the two sd cards this might not be of much use it might help a bunch of other people lol
[HD2 Android SD Development] jessesam:
Does anyone know how to hard rest after flashing Wm7 since I am experiencing constant freezing and reboots?

(I read that hard reset might solve this problem)

thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] tigerlocc:
15 minutes hey that's not too bad. I'll keep a timer running hopefully it works this time around thanks.

If this works out I'm thinking of trying the SuperRam build by darkstone/killahurtz. I took a plunge and wanted to see if I could accomplish nand WP7 and a PSfreedom compatible Android booting from SD

You'll definitely be the first to know if it succeeds
[HD2 Android SD Development] adityakishoor:
OK Last Thing Can u suggest me the best Desire HD Build??????
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
As stated in my 1st post, the credit goes to fellow xda members. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly we work through problems here on xda. I merely wrote up what I found on xda and as such cannot take credit for this :).

I am pleased to see that it is proving to be useful.

I will try to add all additionnal info to the 1st post. Just pm me if you have something to add that could be useful.

Now for magldr 1.13 and more challenges :) I don't have it but heard rumors that windows mobile will be able to run from sd (no sources, just rumors). It would be nice to be able to triple boot the hd2.

Also, it would be nice to encourage some of the android cooks to revisit sd builds as they have mostly stagnated since the release of magldr 1.11 and nand android.
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
MDJ Desire HD 4.6 is working well for me. Tried MCCM Desire HD 4 but had some difficulty with it. I tried to edit rootfs.img for that build but then wifi did not work. I was not able to figure out why however.

and is there any method to permanently activate premium locations navigation in the rom?????
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
Cotulla stated he is working on a sd version of wm65, but I don't think he is anywhere near being done and probably won't be available until magldr version 1.14 or 1.15, not 1.13. 1.13 will probably just fix the usb mass storage, the charging while off problem, and might have recovery support and a couple other updates.
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
Yes that is the rom.

Here is the link to the modified rootfs.img file : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913964

There are a number of links for modified rootfs files to work with sd android builds in this link.

Best way to find out is to try it :)

I guess you can get the premium by paying. I never tried this. You can download a country map for no charge however. Download the basic map, let it find your location then hit settings and go to download for maps.
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
One can always hope, but I cannot complain. What Cotulla and the DFT Team is quite amazing. If it is in version 1.14 or 1.15 it would be great as well. Windows Mobile still cannot be beat for navigation software and exchange sync.
[HD2 Android SD Development] adityakishoor:
k... thanks a lot.... n do u know how to install the data.img????????
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
Get the edited rootfs.img file from the link I gave.

Extract the rom. Copy and paste the edited rootfs.img file into the rom (I believe it goes in the Android folder). The new and edited rootfs.img file replaces the old one.

Be sure to read 1st post directions on how to set up magldr and be patient as it can take 15-20 minutes on 1st boot.

Simple as that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ibfromoakcali:
Maybe I shouldnt post this because others seem to be having problems with it but.....

I have only one SD card. I have no extra card reader.

I was able to use Magldr in usb mass storage mode to both partition my SD card, and load my android build without a problem. (After I tried it two or three times that is.) I am using the Futureshock Miui method posted early in the thread. (First boot took literally ten minutes.) but both builds are working without any lags.

Now if I could only get WP7 to unlock again, unlocker says it works but phone still says Leo70.

Anyway if you dont have a second SD card or a reader there is hope for you

OOPS: Did I forget to thank everyone in this thread and bash everyone who doesnt search before asking questions.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gilla87:
Yes, exactly.. Its just that Im not a big fan of the colored themes.. Not sure but this particular one just said "base Topia HD" so Im hoping that is more stock looking (god i hope its not the xmas one) But that would be awesome of you to do...

[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
Good news and bad news :)

Good news

If wp7 is locked, the only way I got it to unlock it again is by resetting the device or reflashing wp7. You can do this in settings. There is a thread on this in the hd2 wp7 section about preventing a relock. Make sure you install unlockit.xap before you activate market. That is my solution, been 5 days and no problems since. You can activate market a few times from what I gather. There is an alternate method on the hd2 wp7 general thread.

Bad news, you have to re-install everything and probably repartition your sd.

Good luck
