@n1nj4Lo

See my example:

Details:

My sdcard size: 16 Gb Class 4

My partition: FAT32 (12.77Gb) I'm use it for Android or other PC Windows tasks

WP partitions: FAT16 (200Mb), Unformatted (1.65Gb)

Unused space: Unullocated (21.58Mb)

Primary partitions: All, except unused space (it is critycal!)

Partiotion positions: FAT32-FAT16-Unformatted-Unulocated (it is critycal!)

Tip: FAT32 should be formatted via SDFormatter (Erase Mode)

:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
Okay one last question, I think I effed up major...

I forgot to assign a drive letter to the Fat32 partition, now I can't get a letter assigned to it, I've tried deleting the partition and formatting it again with a drive letter and nothing happens, it formats successfully but no drive letter(All this in MiniTool Partition Wizard). Tried Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Storage - Assigning a drive letter there and then rebooting like it prompts me and still nothing upon reboot no new drive...

What can I do??? HALP!! LoL >_<

Also how do I rearrange the partitions? It won't let me move them around when the arrow is on them so then what? Right now it's 200Mb - 16Gb - 13Gb, I don't get how I am supposed to move them, there was no directions on how to accomplish this. Just simply told you to, as if it'd be that easy. But it's not!
[HD2 Android SD Development] c1cl0n:
@n1nj4Lo

I thinks Windows automaticly assign drive letter by next of unused

You can try assign manual by cmd command subst and you'll get virtual drive letter assigned as you want

See attach :)

Sorry, I don't know it :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
In EaseUS I tried to assign a drive letter to the 13Gb and it said "The operation cannot be completed. Windows only recognize the first primary partition on a removable device. If no primary partitions, only the first logical partition is recognized.[/quote]

Should I change 16Gb to a logical and see if that helps then if so move the android setup and change it back to primary? I don't think that would help though according to the error message.
[HD2 Android SD Development] c1cl0n:
Again tell you - you can't assign any drive letter to removable device in Windows XP/7 by as you want (not in Windows System Tools, not in EASEUS!)

But you can make virtual drive letter assigned to your real removable deivce (sdcard, flashcard or other) by cmd command (MS-DOS command subst) :)

By Microsoft Security bla-bla-bla, you can assign any of avaible drive letter only for hard devices (eg. HDD, CDROM/DVD etc.)

For removable device Windows doing autoletter
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
Okay how do I do that and to what... I tried going by your dos screen but got lost in the itailian(?) characters and wound up making 2 of the same directory. haha!! Oooops, sooo close, but no cigar yet!

_

_

Also would it be possible to make 3(4 in my case, unless I can delete the clone) for the 16Gb that way I can add my music to the 16Gb WP7 partition?

My drive map is just C: and that's it E: for removable drives.
[HD2 Android SD Development] c1cl0n:
@n1nj4Lo

I'm write for you little shell to reassign new virtual letter for real removable device

No .NET Runtime required! x32-x64 :)

In field Old Letter enter your real letter of removable device (eg. I:\)

In filed Virtual Letter enter your new letter (eg. Z:) without "\" symbol!

Press Remap to do it or press to clear virtual letter entered in filed Virtual Letter

:) This is simple and no need to MS-DOS use
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
Okay so how do I get the 13Gb to be picked up in the new drive?

Do I then go into MiniTool or EaseUS and add the drive letter all over again or what? Dunno how or what remapping a drive letter will do or how it'll help to detect another drive
[HD2 Android SD Development] c1cl0n:
Sorry, I can't understand what are you want

... I think your Itallian English & my Russian English is not compatible

... Google Translate told me - Kill youself bro :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
Ohh ohh that was Russian not Itailian... Sorry! LoL V_V

Partition 13Gb Fat32 wont let me assign a drive letter to it, so I was running around in circles doing what ya said with subst and drive remapper, but I don't get/understand how this will help me assign a drive letter to a partition that wont allow me to assign a letter to it.

So I was asking how will this help and what do I do. Don't get smart and sarcastic with me when you can't comprehend what I am saying and think I am saying something else due to poor translation skills. That's not my fault and shouldn't be taken out on me. LoL

Try again...

First off how do I rearrange the partitions? There was no explanation on how to do this it just said to do it. My 16Gb WP7 is in the middle, 13Gb Android is at the end, this I think is the problem as to why I can't access and assign a drive letter to my 13Gb partition.

1 Card method... So I SHOULD Delete the 200Mb partition and also everything should be in the Android folder, right?

I didn't think I was supposed to delete the 200Mb folder

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

How do I reset WP7 again, I got it to put the 200Mb - 13Gb - 16Gb in that order then applied the changes and MiniTool Partition Wizard disappeared and opened back up again with nothing at all displayed for the SD card and now when I try to put into WP7 it gives me the no SD card detected Emergency Call | Turn Off
[HD2 Android SD Development] HypoTurtle:
Hold volume down as WP7 is booting (when MAGLDr is counting), will allow it to recapture the sd card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
Grrrr Darnit darnit darnit!!!!! Errrrrrrrrrrrr!

Everything went good but now I am running into the drive letter issue again MiniTools askes for a drive when formatting the 13Gb Fat32 but then after clicking apply and everything finishes it removes the drive letter...

Only the very first lil 200Mb shows up as an actual drive. >_<

Nobody said if I delete that or leave it or what, and windows cant and will not detect the fat32 android partition because it is 2nd in line(Only the 1st partition will be dectected and active as a removable device, you can not have 2 active partitions on 1 card... I think, and according to EaseUS) to the 200Mb partition of whatever that is for(WP7 I assume cause when I deleted it I had to hard reset and wipe/clear the card and setup WP7 again)!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] HypoTurtle:
I'll try and work through what should be happening to see if there's a step your rushing through.

Starting with installing the WP7 ROM this formats the card to have 200MB of fat16 memory for use as general sd storage and the rest as unformatted space which is integrated in with the WP7 ROM. With the ROM identifying the size of the unformatted partition and expecting to find this on every boot.

Resetting the device (from the WP7 about menu), seems to clear this value allowing for the changing of partition sizes. So after resetting the device, and removing the sdcard what you need to do is shrink the unformatted partition, done by deleting it and then creating a new unformatted partion.

This unformatted partition should be able to be moved through the unallocatted (empty) space. And should be on the opposite side on the sdcard to the fat16 partition. Once you have the sdcard set up with 200MB Fat16 - Unallocated space - Unformatted space ; you then need to reinsert the sdcard and let WP7 complete the reset; (having the unformatted space in essence hide that storage) from WP7 while it takes the unformatted space into its system.

Once the system has reinstaled itself, turn the phone off and remove the sdcard and you can do what you want with the unallocated space and fat16 i.e. wipe both and create a fat32 partition. Making sure to use minitool to make both partitions primary.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
I done all that correctly I believe, I didn't wipe the 200Mb to be merged with the new unallocated Fat32 android partition, which I believe is what I might have to do to allow it to pick up the android partition.

I should be safe right? Hopefully as long as the unformatted WP7 is still intact, just need to do a reset again before doing it?

I'm stuck here with the 3 partitions all in order 200mb (Unactive/Status None) - 13Gb (Active/Status Active) - 16Gb (Unactive/Status None) all 3 are set to Primary.

Anything else after this? Cause I did that then tried to assign a drive letter again and clicked apply and after it successfully completed the drive letter went away again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] HypoTurtle:
As far as I'm aware drive letters are easiest allocated during formatting (I had trouble months ago, not sure what I did to rectify it), if you're phone is booting fine into WP7 and it's registering the 16GB within its storage then leave that be.

You have no real need for the fat16 partition any more, I'd delete both the fat16 and the fat32 partitions then create a fat 32 in Partition Master then make both primary in MiniTool. Making sure to assign a drive letter in Partition Master (EaseUS) during partition creation.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
Okay done all that and everything is picking up now, made it Primary Fat32 64Kb cluster, now copying android... I leave all the files in the android folder and put it at the root of the drive, right?

I got the magldr startup.txt and magldr root in there too.

Problem, dunno how long it's been since ya'll have used Partition Master but apparently things have changed a lot since then, I ran into this again after deleting and fixing to make a Fat32 Partition:

Also there's no option for a cluster size...

Couldn't I just do all that in MiniTools Partition Wizard instead of over complicating things with 2 disk partition tools?

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

Son of a Whore!!!

Problem after problem after problem!!!!!!

And this is why I typically stay away from modding and flashing!! >_<

Done all that in MiniTools, went to copy "Android" folder to D:\ (My Fat32 13Gb 64Kb Cluster Removable drive) and then bloody Windows pops up with this error: "Cannot copy the date: The parameter is incorrect" WTF'ing Hell! >_<

LoL! I swear if I don't have bad luck with this then who does? I'd love to hear their stories. haha
[HD2 Android SD Development] HypoTurtle:
The startup.txt is just picked up by haret nothing to do with magldr (it's fine to leave it).

There is a reason for using the two; EaseUS can set both as primary and there is something that MiniTools can't do (can't recall what though).

That error (I've had unrelated a while ago) and point to either a corrupted file or a file that's bigger than 4GB which there shouldn't be in a blank/fresh sd build. and yes the downloaded ROM zip should be extracted so that its D:(drive_number)/Android/Files(system.ext4; zImage etc.)

The file(Android) can be called anything; it justs needs to be set up as SD Dir in MAGLDr.

You could try formatting the drive (I take it you just have the fat32 and unformatted partitions now) directly via Windows (right click and format); this will just affect the fat32 partition, and see what that turns up.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
Tried formatting as many ways as possible, WinMo Resco Explorer format - Switch ActiveSync to USB Device, Windows default formater,, EaseUS, MiniTools everything results in a copying error some how. It was either connected through my LG Fathom as a MASS USB Device or HD2 MAGLDR MASS USB Device. I have no reader right now as it feel apart with all the pulling it in and out of the usb. Crappy asain ebay products! LoL

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

Also FYI MiniTools only allows you to set partitions as primary or logical now only when creating a new partition. Just like EaseUS has changed so has MiniTools, this is a 1 and a half year old thread and we all know nothing stays the same software wise it's always progressing.

Unless I am wrong of course and missing some unforeseen option?
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
Found a MicroSDHC to SDHC Adapter and used it and everything moved perfectly.

BUT now when I try to boot into WP7 it says SD Card error. How do I fix this without erasing everything I've done?

Wished there was a way to reset WP7 like in the about menu, without wiping out the whole card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
Something weird is going on now... Accidentally wiped out the android partition and had to fully clear the card and reinstall WP7, now I finished the installation went through the setup and then reset the phone now it only shows 200Mb in MiniTools and EaseUS, but WP7 says 29Gb

Errr! Now I can't recreate what I did before to get both partitions to show up... >_<

Guess I'll give up for the night and call it quits.
[HD2 Android SD Development] HypoTurtle:
If your using xboxmod's BTTF build then you'll also need to unlock the card first. It should be unlocked by default with the other ROMs, so don't know what else could be going on.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
Hrmmm! Weird, okay if I plug in the sd card into my sd card adapter it only shows 200mb's, if I use magldr usb mass strg if shows both both partitions.

IDK If this is cause WP7 has already been setup or not, but when I get hom get home from I'll try resetting WP7 again and going into into magldr mass strg to see if this still works. Don't have time to right now gotta eventually get ready for work and can't dive down into this and get tied up with it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
Alright let me get this straight (Someone correct me if I'm wrong!) but...

After the wp7 setup, reset wp7 again, let it shut down and load into magldr. STOP wp7 from booting, choose magldr's usb masssrg option, create the fat32, then after that's created the partition manager will try to turn the wp7 space (unformatted) into unallocated, so then we should turn it back into unformatted, set as primary, set fat32 as primary click apply and it's safe to delete the 200mb space?

Not gunna try this tonight taking a lil break from it before I have a go at it again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] HypoTurtle:
Not quite, I'll admit what I said previously was a bit waffly.

It's setup WP7, reset, stop at MaGLDR (you can set it up to always boot to menu). Then in EaseUS delete the large (WP7) partition and click apply. Leaving you with your 200MB Fat16 and unallocated space. Then create your unformated/WP7 space and move it to the opposite end to the Fat16.

Once you have [Fat16 - Unallocated Space - WP7 partition] you insert it back into the phone and let it boot and setup again.

Once this setup is done you can turn off the phone, making sure it turns off fully.

Then you can resize the Fat16 to take up the unallocated space and you can then format it and do with it what you will.

And again using MiniTool to set both as primary if intending on using most android kernels.

FYI: MaGLDR's mass storage can be quite buggy and disconnect itself or stall unexpectantly so best to try and use something else to do it (a microsd reader would also be a lot faster)

I currently have WP7 on a 7gb partition on a 16gb class 2 sd card. I have an EXT4 partition (2GB) and a FAT32 partition (5GB) for my NativeSD android rom. I bought a new 32gb class 10, is there a way to shift this WP7 rom as is from the 16gb card to the 32 gb card, without have to reinstall from scratch? Also, can i expand the space allocated to WP7 while i do that?

single sd method with multiple more than 2 partitions?

Hi,

When I use only one sd card, the Windows phone partition has to be the biggest.

But what happens if I create mutliple smaller partitions e.g. 3*3gb fat and 7gb unallocated for windows phone :fingers-crossed:

Don't want to waste too much space for windows and windows doesn't recognize my smaller sd card :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] winsent1:
SINGLE SD Method [WP7=nand / Android=memory card]

I've done all the steps correctly.

Partitioning scheme Memory Card did also correctly.

Android on the SD card will be copied to the boot and I want to start the installation process.

the error message that there is no two files will appear on the screen (zImage & initrd).

I copied the files onto the root and start the installation. But after a period of five seconds, the phone restarts and locks on the HTC logo and the installation goes ahead.

[HD2 Android SD Development] LuSiD7:
Ok guys, some questions from me too.

I have already installed WP7 on my phone on a 16gb SD card.

I recently bought a Sandisk 32gb card for the needs of partitioning for a dual boot of WP and Android (and because i needed a faster card).

The question follows:

Will I be able to restore my Windows installation on the 32gb card (meaning apps, photos, sms, settings etc.). I have already backed it up with WPBackup. Or will I probably have to set up my Windows installation as new? And even if it is so, what will happen if I re-insert my 16gb card in the phone? Will it maintain my existing WP installation as it is now or will it lose it all (since it will reformat the other card to use). Maybe Windows won't "like" this? Can you swap two SD cards with the same NAND Windows installation?

Will the two card method keep it all if done correctly

I hope my questions are clear. Thank you in advance for any answers. And keep up the good work. You make our HD2's truly legendary!

Sorry to be such a late bird, but I'd like to have WP7.8 + NativeSD Android 4.x dual boot on my HD2.

So I did install MAGLDR 1.13 and flashed Dynamics_HD2O_HD2_2_21_Western, which works like a charm.

After that I followed the instructions of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880905, but this is where my issue is.

I have set up my SD card as outlined and put the 4EXT recovery (tried all three flavours) on the FAT32 partition along with EvoHd2v10final-fixedx.zip.

Then selected the recovery folder as AD Boot Dir in MAGLDR and tried to boot AD on SD.

After that I get 123456 GO GO GO but after a while first the green htc screen appears, stays for a while and then the phone reboots into MAGLDR.

What can I do to do a NativeSD setup?

Do I have to do a MAGLDR Repartition or a MAGLDR Update Recovery with HD2 Toolkit 4.3? With what parameters?

I have tried several Task28, Repartition parameters, ...

I tried with and without "Use Last 24MB" - some say it's required, some say it may cause bricking ...

I'm a bit lost. Please help!

Obviously the 4EXT Recovery versions I tried were faulty. All three of them didn't work with my setup, but just to save some hassle, I tried your 4EXT Recovery_1.rar on my pre-partitioned SD before going through with the whole procedure you pointed out - and it worked immediately.
