Insert sd card?
[HD2 Android SD Development] markecpda:
I have a problem. I have everyday working instalation of WP7 on Lexar 8GB card. I would like to have dual boot. Tried two methods from this topic, but non seems to work (dd copy with image and also EASEUS ALL-IN-ONE Partition Manager Software first method).

My new Kingston 16GB Class 4 not recognised in WP7. It looks like a clean instalation without a card inserted.

I did not do hard reset with this new card, because I have a lot of stuff on the old card.

So i tried to have dual boot with two cards. Reformated 16GB Kingston with Nokia E71, SonyEricsson Xperia X1, PC SDFormatter, PC disk part - but never recognised in MAGLDR - (FAT 32). I copied the Android folder with PC card adapter (not mass storage), but not booting SD Android. Even mass storage in MAGLDR fails to install drivers with this card inserted, but when using Lexar everything is ok. So, the same problem exists even when using only one 16GB FAT32 partition.

If anybody has an idea what the problem could be - you are welcomed to reply. Now, I am not even sure if my HD2 card reader supports 16GB, perhaps is damaged somehow.

HD2 Euro 512, Radio_2_12_50_02_2.

WP7 instalation after hard reset (in about screen) from previous instalation.

Lexar 8GB Class 4 - WP7 working OK - MAGLDR Mass storage OK (driver instalation OK)

Kingston 16GB Class 4 (C16G Taiwan) - not even recognised by MAGLDR Mass storage (driver instalation fails), not recognised when partitioning for dualboot in WP7 - recognised and working in PC, Nokia E71, SonyEricsson Xperia X1, but not in HD2

Any idea?
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
Sounds like you may have compatibility issues with your card. I believe there is a thread in the hd2 wp7 section about compatible cards. Have a look if others had issues. I tend to stick to sandisk class 2 for wp7. I have working 8, 16 and 32 gb sandisk all class 2.

Good luck.

A couple of tips with the DD method:

If "dd --list" doesn't show your drives under "NT Block Device Objects": Make sure you're running cmd.exe as Administrator. Setting the Administrator property on dd.exe may not work, as it will open in a separate window.

If you're getting "Error writing file: 5 Access is denied" when writing to the new card: Ensure you're running cmd.exe as Administrator, and..

Run "diskpart"

list disk

select disk #

clean

create partition primary

active

clean (yes, again)

exit

Run "diskpart"

Now try again.

Thanks,

[HD2 Android SD Development] Fmstrat:
You may also have a corrupt partition scheme. I had this happen and even fdisk'ing in Linux wouldn't solve the issue. Try the "diskpart" instructions I pasted right above this, and see if that works.
[HD2 Android SD Development] markecpda:
As you can see from my post I have tried all the methods of formatting, even diskpart. The card is also listed as compatible in the other topic.
[HD2 Android SD Development] domenukk:
Worked fine for me. (At least for this error)

Now fingers crossed, that it boots...

Used no external adapter but the phone in magldr mode...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Canterbury:
Thanks Zarathustrax -changin gfrom logical to primary on the wp7 partition did the trick (needs reboot of phone) - like so many before, i was only looking at the first few pages of the start of this thread, then assumed the problem lay with the android rom i was installing. If only you this info could be attached to the first post to save headaches... :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] ngky7:
its weird that when after install WM7. I check my cdcard on my pc. its not FAT16. its stated others. any ideas? this wont allow me to resize the partition.
[HD2 Android SD Development] garettxda:
Im using Kingston 16GB class 4 card withiut problems. Try to format your new card befor flashing new WP7 in camera or in computer.
[HD2 Android SD Development] garettxda:
setting lost

When I boot back to WP7 I allways have to set up my phone as after first boot after flashing. Why I lose all my setting after I reboot from Android?
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
Not sure... could be a problem with the sd card. Does it use the storage from the sd card properly?
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
The wp7 is suppose to be other or unformatted... the android partition can just be erased and make a new fat32 partition once your wp7 partition is set properly.
[HD2 Android SD Development] doc125:
I have dual boot working and can boot into WP7 or android perfectly fine but I can't seem to access the partition on windows to add music etc. I have downloaded the Minitool partition program and both partitions are already set to primary. Any ideas?
[HD2 Android SD Development] domenukk:
Can't you set only one partition primary? would occur to me... by the name and everyting.

BTW:

This thread neeeeds to be stickied!
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
You can have both set to primary... and this thread is stickied... at least it was. Isn't it in the sticky rollup thread?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jimbardis:
Android Settings lost after reboot

I have a problem when I load Andoid Dezire v3.3 with Maglr 1.12 from SD card.

The first boot its ok it loads in 3 mins and in home screen is the clock and other stuff from the developer.Then you can setup the phone put email accounts download programms from market etc.

When I restart the phone and load again the android from SD all settings are deleted. The home screen is emty all of them all settings for mail account facebook twitter etc is emty but any programms that I have downloaded as skype there are in the programms folder. It seems that its only looses the settings.

If I put them again after a reboot the same hapens the programms are there but the settings are not. Home screen emty etc.

What is the possible cause of this issue please help.

I have a 16 MB sandisk SDHC memory card in HD2 with 3 partitions First Fat 32 with 64kb sec 11Mb for android and other 200MB and 3,5 GB for WP7.

The Wp7 works fine boots from NADN Marketplace unlocked etc.

I use the Android Dezire version 3.3 and a data.img file about 2gb. The config is for boot from SD with Maglr.

If I use a difrent sd card without partition for Wp7 the Andoid works perfect no lost settings and it steel loads with Maglr from SD.
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
Not sure... maybe having a third partition is messing things up. You should only have 2 primary partitions in the end. Try adding that wasted 200mb partition to your android partition and make sure both partitions are primary.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jimbardis:
I have made tha card exact as we see in first video in the first page of this thread.

Has 3 primary partitions Fat 32 Android Fat16 200MB Wp7 And Unformat 3,5GB Wp7 I dont have change any other files exept the config

but with the same files works fine in an other SD card with no WP7 partitions
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
Well I don't know if that causes an issue or not, but there's no need to have an unused 200mb partition on the card... might as well add that to your android partition. Is both your android and wp7 partitions primary? Which method did you use to partition your card?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jimbardis:
All the partition are primary partitions and I use the eraseus programm the same as in the video
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
Maybe try formatting your android partition with 32kb sectors... I've heard of builds having issues when you use 64k sectors. You said you were using the desire z build? Did you look through the build thread for anyone experiencing the same issue?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jimbardis:
Thnx for help I tryed the 32kb secs but same stuff after the first boot all are lost even the home screen tabs that was there after primary install I tryed also coping all files from an 4 GB SD card that works fine with android but has no wp7 partition on it and again all settings lost if I change the Sd cards all is back and I dont even load Wp7 only Android same setup from diferent SD cards.

The version works fine if there is no wp7 partion on the sd card thats why ask help in this thread.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hyellow:
i've had this issue before with phiremod's rom.

This is what i did:

1. create android partition and only boot to android at first. no wp7 partition. setup hd2 with android.

2. in partition manager i created unallocated space on my harddrive and copied the android partition to it.

3. now delete all partitions on sd card and create partition for wp7. leave space on sd card to copy back the android partition to it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] aditya_r12:
resize WP7 partition

is it possible to resize the WP7 partition after WP7 and android has been installed. I find that I'm using WP7 more and want to allocate more space to it. Is it possible to increase the unformatted part and and reduce the FAT32 portion of Android
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
Magldr 1.13

Magldr 1.13 was just released.

I am not sure if this affects us having wp7 dual boot hd2 all that much.

The battery, reboot when connected and data errors with usb mass storage copy seem to have been fixed.

Correct me if I am wrong but apart from this it seems that there will not be any changes for us with wp7 as the nand os and sd android. CWR is for Android in Nand and not on sd.

If I am incorrect, please let me know and I will update the 1st post.

Also, looks like wm6.5 will be nand and not sd :(

IMPORTANT: I JUST FLASHED MAGLDR 1.1.3 and Flashing magldr 1.13 will

NOT

result in having to reload everything, including wp7.

DO NOT FLASH USING DAF but enter bootloader (Rainbow screen at startup) and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
No, its not affecting people dualbooting at all. What are you talking about wm65 being on nand, not SD? There's no nand version of wm65 out for magldr, and the SD version isn't released yet. Nothing has changed as far as cotullas plans for that, afaik. If you know something I missed, please let me know.
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
From Cotulla's Magldr 1.13 thread in Nand Android Looks like wm65 is in future development but on Nand not sd :( I like the look and feel of wp7 but miss my wm65 apps ...

EDIT: Seems there is possibly an sd wm65 after all :) http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/dft-team-preparing-sd-card-version-of-wm65-for-hd2

Future developerment :

*planned to add Haret's startup.txt support for Android SD

*fast boot support (?)

*support of fixed partitions layout with ability to reflash any partition

*WM65 NAND boot with any rom (?)

*WM65 NAND boot with special designed roms for MAGLDR boot.

[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
OK, good, cotulla just tweeted about that 9 hours ago... I started worrying that he gave up on developing wm65 for sd. I can't wait until we can quad-boot wp7, wm65, android and ubuntu... then hopefully in a few months maybe we'll have a decent working meego port, too.:D:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] casualt:
personally i like the look of energies wm6.5 the best

i hope this happens

I love me HD2!

thanks to XDA and to COTULLA
[HD2 Android SD Development] shree.cse:
I have an 8gb transcend class 2 stock SD card. I partitioned it with 3.5gb for windows7 and the rest of fat32 for Android using the 3rd method in OP. When ever I booted into Android and restarted to wp7, I am loosing all my settings. But not the hard reset, I am sure. And now my Memory status in wp7 is 15mb only, before it must be around 2.6gb

May something is causing SD card to be corrupted!

This is my whole problem

Is there any other solution for my problem?
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
First, I think you don't have a wp7 partition if you only see 15mb.

Second, re-read the instructions and redo the 3rd method. Windows partition needs to be larger than the android partition and don't forget to set wp7 partiion to primary.

If not, get a 4gb card and do 1st method. It is longer but more predictable.

Good luck
[HD2 Android SD Development] shree.cse:
That's what I am saying. Before booting the Android even after partitioning Wp7 has 2.6gb. Once I booted into Android and after that if I came back to WP7 the available free memory is 15mb. May be the reason is something was damaging the partition
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
That's what was happening when trying to setup dualboot with a kingston card... it set up at first and wp7 showed the space, but when I would reboot, it didn't read the card in wp7 anymore. You might need a different sd card if you can't get it to work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shree.cse:
May be, I will try.

But After everything was fine after a normal restart except for running Android.
[HD2 Android SD Development] HectiQ:
thanks for the info, gonna try it!
[HD2 Android SD Development] cylent:
ok this tutorial is great and all but the question i have to ask is:

when using a phone you try to keep your stuff as "neat and organized" as possible -- restarting the phone to boot into WP7 or Android will never leave you with one static organized place to do your tasks. so how do you decide when to choose what OS to boot into?
[HD2 Android SD Development] xcen_xda:
Hi, when I was formatting the SD Card, the maximum value given to me for the cluster size was 16kb.

Now, when I enter MAGLDR and select the option to boot from SD, it seems that the phone says something is wrong with my zImage.

I have tried both Desire DL and RAM Froyo Sense (modded), but both have the same problem.

Is this a problem with the 16kb cluster size or did I miss something out?

Any help is much thanked in advance.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Fasty12:
Same here

^^ im getting the same problem :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] mr_brew:
Work around to make the Android partition larger that the WP7 partition.

Per the instructions for the single sd card method:

IMPORTANT When using this method make sure that the wp7 "unformatted partition" is larger than the Android partition otherwise the wp7 "unformatted partition" will move in 2nd place and you will not be able to resize the fat 16 / android partition.

"HERE IS A WORK AROUND SO THAT THE ANDROID PARTITION CAN BE THE LARGEST"

When you create the Android partition instead of moving it to the end of the SD card move it to the front. After you go into WP7 the unallocated space will be moved under the 200mb fat partition and you will be able to resize it. "Works like a charm" That is the way that I gave myself 7gb WP7 and 9gb Android Desire HD.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mateuspt:
is it possible to boot android from nand and wp7 from sd card?

use 3d formatter complete erase or this :-

Insert SD into USB reader

Insert USB reader into Windows Vista/7 PC

Select command prompt

Type DISKPART and press enter

Type List disks and press enter

Identify USB disk ID (usually the last in the list)

Type SELECT DISK x (replacing x with device id from above step). Press Enter

**** WARNING THE NEXT STEP WILL ERASE PARTITION INFORMATION FROM THE SELECTED DEVICE. CHOOSE THE DISK ID CAREFULLY****

[HD2 Android SD Development] matthewharmon102:
does anyone have a link to a video tutorial with sound? the one linked in the origional post had no sound for me! or maybe you can help with my problem

i have followed the steps using the single SD card option. when i try to boot into android it take a long time (longer then other SD boots) and sometimes hangs and the 'quietly brillient screen. if it does get past that and the lock screen appears, when i unlock it either the phone it reboots android (i.e not going through magldr) and hangs and the htc screen, or the phone just freezes at the lock screen. this seems to happen when it says 'preparing sd card' in the top left of the screen.

the wp7 install seems to boot fine and recognises the SD card. i have a 16GB card (kingston i think)

windows mobile sd boot

can we boot winmo 6.5.x from the SD thanks to this?
[HD2 Android SD Development] mr_brew:
When I had that problem it was because I was using an Android build that did not have a modified rootfs.img file.

To ensure that this is not your problem try using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859817 MDJ 4.6 Desire HD.

And going here and getting a modified rootfs.img file for that build.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10702019&postcount=93

Replace the rootfs.img file that comes with the build with this one. I know that this is working because it is the one that I have been using for a couple weeks now along with WP7. "hope that works for you"!

No, we can't boot wm65 from sd until cotulla finishes making an sd bootable version of sd... it will probably be a while before this happens. Maybe in a couple months.

oops never mind i done it, forgot to make wp7 primary
[HD2 Android SD Development] ahmedsalem89:
Can it Be resized then??

I followed method 3 and everything woked fine

but now i'd like to give more space for android

I have an 8gb card 4 for wp7 and 4 for android

so can it be resized now maybe 2 for wp7 and 6 for android???
[HD2 Android SD Development] hyellow:
there are instrucctions in the first post by the third method. I haven't tested it, but you should try if you'd like t have a bigger partition for android.
[HD2 Android SD Development] MysteryWO:
What is it meen? At the end we has WP7 unformated partition!
[HD2 Android SD Development] kergekecske:
works

confirmed

tha base sd 4gb

the second 16

partitions copied from 4gb to 16gb , the remaining the android partition

finally wp7 has 3,94 gb , android 11,94 and around 98 mb unallocated

perfect

wp7 , tytung nexus sd 18 with modified rootfs, mgldr12

after the first installation i copied the wp7 partition 4x -reason : reinstalled the wp7

on the 16 gb the android not changed , only the wp7 partitions (size was the same - only this need to fit )

easily overwritable the two wp7 partitions and works
[HD2 Android SD Development] ahmedsalem89:
Thanx but do u mean this

If this is what u mean could u plz explain more?

should I start the process from beginning?

Thanx in advance
[HD2 Android SD Development] hyellow:
as i said, i have not tried this and can not try it out either, otherwise, i'll have to do WP7 all over again. I only have one HD2... two actually, the other one is near dead.

From what i understand is:

1. create the wp7 partition and instead of moving it to the end of the sd card, movie it next to the fat16 partition. Insert the sd card back into your hd2 and continue the wp7 setup wizard.

Wp7 may recognize the wp7 partition and will no longer look for the unallocated space, wich it might do when the unallocated space was in between. Also, from my interpretations, WP7 will move the unallocated space now before the fat16 partition, thus making it possible to resize the fat16 partition for android.

like i said, i have not tested this myself, but you should try.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ahmedsalem89:
Thanx

so I need to start over and do the step

exactly at 1:53 in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-cUdB4_5f4?

also my card had 2 partitions

I already combined them into one formatted as fat32 with 32 kb cluster size

is that right?
[HD2 Android SD Development] matthewharmon102:
OF COURSE!! ive been using NAND builds for so long i forgot about the rootfs modifications!! thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] mr_brew:
Per the single sd card instructions you do EVERYTHING EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED you only change one procedure in step 4.

This is the step I'm referring to in the instructions on page one.

4. You'll see two partitions. A whopping 200mb of fat16 partition and the other is unformatted. Now right click on the unformatted partition and click delete. After that, click apply. Now you have unallocated space. Right click on the unallocated space and select create. Set parameters to logical and unformatted and size the partition. This will be your WP7 partition, so decide how much you want to allocate to it, this is permanent, no changes afterwards can be made. Also, make sure you move it to the end of the sd card in the same 'create' window. Hit apply.

INSTEAD MOVE IT TO THE FRONT OF THE SD CARD (This is the work around if you intend to make the ANDRIOD partition larger than the WP7)

Hope this clears up the confusion. Sorry, I could have been clearer.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mr_brew:
Follow the instruction exactly as they are for the single sd card. But in step 4 instead of "Also, make sure you move it to the end of the sd card in the same 'create' window. Hit apply.

Move it to the front of the sd card That is the "ONLY" thing you do differently. This one little procedure in step 4 of the instructions. Everything else you do exactly as he has instructed. "I promise you it works" I would not have posted this if it didn't work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] malkrae:
I followed instructions however when I boot into android it just hangs on the htc logo any sugestions?
[HD2 Android SD Development] MysteryWO:

[HD2 Android SD Development] ahmedsalem89:
Thank u so much

although I guess I might have tried something similar but I'll try again this time with screenshots to know exactly where the problem is and get back yo u :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] mr_brew:
Sounds like you are attempting to use a build that does not have a modified rootfs.img file.

If the build doesn't have a modified rootfs it will do exactly what you are describing.

Try this using a known working build like HD2 Gingerbread/CyanogenMod7 from copenhagen

Then if it does not work you know you have a different problem.
