[HD2 Android SD Development] ch3mn3y:
Maybe Im to stupid, maybe not, but I cannot make WP7.8 + NativeSD Android dualboot.

I tried as first post said - 1 SD, 32FB.

First time:

Put it in Wp7.8

Reset

Power off and set MAGLDR to boot at start

Boot WP7.8 and reset it again

Connected SD to pc

Deleted Unformatted

Using MiniTools i Created 2 Ext4 partitions (1.5GB + 17GB)

Than using EASEUS I created Unformatted (10GB)

Put it to HD2

It booted fine with 1 Unformatted partition...

Anyone could gove me any advice? Maybe im doing it to fast?

As there are 2 partitions before it, Unformatted shouldn't move to the left.

I know about using 2 cards for Unformatted smaller than half, but when Im copying (tried both EASUS and MiniTool) they give me errors when copying Unformatted (tried two 16GB cards and one 8GB). Tried using HD2 as mass storage and putting both to PC (one in internal card reader, one through USB).

PS. I would like have Ubuntu too, but it needs to be put on sdcard partition. If everything will go fine I will have 4 partitions (Fat16, Unformatted and two ext4), which one it will be?

PS2. If it is important, Im thinking about SlimLP or CM13 to use as NativeSD.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ch3mn3y:
Tried now exactly what third method from first post says with one of 16GB's and after second reset, right after using EASEUS - in which I set:

- 200MB FAT16

- 4,49GB Unallocated

- 10,06GB Unformatted

I got low memory warning after boot and in about it's only <16MB...
[HD2 Android SD Development] J0SH1X:
i did it with native sd rom and its working great but i use eXtended TWRP instead of 4EXT recovery
[HD2 Android SD Development] tigerlocc:
Hey Gen, I had that issue too when I initially was setting up my cards. I ended up using my hd2 and my external card reader (my pc came with a crappy card reader that ended up becoming useless).

If you try this method make sure you DO NOT boot into WP7 until your card is ready. I would pull up the MAGLDR menu (hold the red button when booting phone) and then choose USB Mass Storage. Connect your USB cord from your computer to your phone and you're straight. Let us know how that churns out
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
Oh so that workaround does work? Did you try adjusting your APN settings for the mobile network issue?

Weird issue with the phone not being able to read my sim card. So phone and network are not working.

Tried other build in 1st post and no problem.

Build is Mccm hd desire 4 - very nice btw.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tigerlocc:
Good news Darren I finally got it haha! I remember reading somewhere someone mentioning it's recommended to partition the drive with the windows partition tool versus a 3rd party program.

What I did was connect to USB Mass Storage through MAGLDR, then pulled up "My Computer", right clicked on sd card, chose format and set is as FAT32 with 64KB and quick format checked.

After this I went and got a copy of Dom's recommended Core Droid, modified the rootfs.img file per instructions here, and then copied the build to my SD Card.

I then went back to MAGLDR's main menu, went down to "9. Services", then chose "1.Boot Services" then "3.AD SD Dir" and from there chose the fresh Android folder I just placed onto my sd card.

That took me back to the main menu - from here I chose "2. Boot Android SD" waited about 10 minutes and BAM! it loaded up.

So the whole point and what I think the main culprit was - the formatting. After I re-formatted my FAT32 partition with the Windows tool as described above it worked. Now onto the experimentation - PSFreedom anyone? haha
[HD2 Android SD Development] gencaslan:
UPDATE :

you don't really need dd if you don't need backup.

1. install wp7 nand with the smaller card inside.

2. put the bigger card in the phone and the smaller card in your card-reader. select mass storage mode and copy the unallocated partition over from the smaller card to the bigger cards end with the partition manager.

3. create a fat32 partition at the beginning of the bigger card.

done

...

Preparation :

Download command-line tool dd from http://www.chrysocome.net/dd and extract to a folder on your computer C:\dd-0.6beta3

Download the partition manager from http://www.partition-tool.com/download.htm and install.

1. Flash WP7 with smaller sd-card mounted in your mobile device. (about 10 - 20 minutes)

2. make an image of your sd.

Open a Console

XP : Start -> Execute -> cmd.exe .

Win7 : Start -> Enter in Searchfield -> cmd.exe

change to the folder where dd was extracted to

mount the sd-card in an (usb) sd-adapter. the command is described in http://www.chrysocome.net/dd "Read the entire USB memory device" BUT use at least bs=4M as block size if you use 1M it will take hours. (about 5 -10 mins)

you can try greater values as 4M as the usb2-standard allows up to 30M per second (see http://www.everythingusb.com/usb2/faq.htm#4). 8M is optimum for me.

3. write image to bigger card. put bigger card in the (usb) sd-adapter and execute the following command. (about 5 -10 minutes)

4. use the partiotion manager to copy the wp7 partition to the unallocated space at the end of the bigger sd-card. make it NOT primary. ( 20 - 30 minutes)

5. delete the 200MB fat16 and the first wp7 partition. (few seconds)

6. create fat32 partition with the partition tool on the unallocated space . select it as primary. (few seconds)

credits to all uf us.

you can skip step one if you did an image once. so the whole process takes about an hour. also you can use the image-file as backup if you mess around with wp7 or ruin your card or something. just copy back the image on a new card.

Take a look at Fmstrats usefull tips.

[HD2 Android SD Development] tigerlocc:
Wow what an accomplishment great job gen. Are you up and running now? lol You did a lot better than I - it took me nearly 5 hours with partitioning and whatnot to get to where I am. From what I can see it looks like the whole process didn't even come close to an hour for you
[HD2 Android SD Development] taizh21038:
Yes ,use the modified intrid,search the thread~~
[HD2 Android SD Development] aenedor:
No card reader here so was only able to access one SD card at a time, is working just fine for me, WP7 on Nand and Desire Z on SD, followde all your instructions and the step above.

Thankyou for posting :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
ok thanks

i will partition this tonight and see how it goes...

i saw an initrid attachment in 1 of the posts here, can i just replace and use that?

anyways, i used a 256MB SD Card (because I cant seem to find another one) and managed to boot

then Im going to move that 256MB sdcard partition to my 16GB Sandisk

can I expand it while moving?
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
Don't waste your time with 256 mb sd. It is far too little for wp7. Might as well start wp7 without sd. I would say 4-8gb min to get useful use out of wp7.

No, there are no known ways to expand it so far.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
thanks for the heads up so far

i was able to boot into WM7 using the 256MB SD however, like you said, it wouldnt bring much fulfilment in doing anything and if no expansion is possible, might as well wait for a higher capacity card

anyways, proof of concept was succesful

anyways, i will continue this tomorrow when i find at least 1GB or 2GB micro SD for this purpose and fall back to utilize my WM6.5+SUPERAM1.5 combination now.

thanks again :) (+1 button)

I can't get the phone (call/text/3g) to work on core droid...

I tried running MDJ 4.6...had to edit the init.rc here too.

Result: The same as Core Droid...runs fast and smooth, every hardware works (wifi, camera, camcorder, gps, 3g, sound ...) ONLY THE PHONE DOES NOT WORK

The build darren pointed to in the first thread works FULLY for me too.

What I found is that this build is the only one that has its init.rc file in the system.ext2 image...maybe this makes a difference...I don't know...I will stick with this build for now...

EDIT: WORKS NOW. Thx to Daysey who supplied me with the correct init.rc file. The editing of the init.rc has to be done different...I found out what has to be done different and changed the tutorial...But don't worry about the how, just take the attached init.rc file if you want, it works now with this file!!!!!

Credits to Daysey.

WP7 Partition

in reading the specs that wp7 appears to be using for FSL, I think the only way to expand the volume is to expose the keys that lock the FS, unlock it, resize the volume, then relock the FS with those keys (though as I understand it the size is part of the hash value, so changing the size should change the hash value. Does that sound about right? Anyone else have any ideas?

please give me this tut in german language my english is not good
[HD2 Android SD Development] syther:
Hey guys,

isnt there a way to do this with only one sd card, i cant buy one atm because shops are closed :O and i want android and WP7 on my HD2 now hehehe

ty
[HD2 Android SD Development] gencaslan:
yes there is...just follow the instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10643011&postcount=64 and take a look at the first post cuz it is much more detailed.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tigerlocc:
Hey Dom that's odd. My Core Droid came almost fully intact - my phone works and the data/wifi etc. works, the only thing really missing was my "messages" icon. lol i know it's there, because the htc messages widget has been receiving messages it's just the icon is missing haha.

Have to brainstorm and look around for how to install it now. That's funny you got the desire_z to fully work - I couldn't even get it to boot! I wonder if it's some type of hardware deficiency at work here...
[HD2 Android SD Development] attractor:
After following the instruction I have 2 partitions on my SD card. I 4G for WP7 and 12G as FAT32.

I do not have an SD card reader so I copied from my 4G SD card to my hardrive and then from my hardrive to the 16G SD card.

The WP7 looks fine but without live services there is not much you can do. I was not able to unlock it so I am going to wait until people find new ways around that.

I am running CoreDROID 0.4 HD. It boots from the SD card FAT32 partition. Everything works except wifi. I was not able to get it to work even after chagning radio or installing drivers.

One more thing. CoreDROID is littering my SD card with DiskCacheIndex?????.tmp files.

I was also able to boot from SD MDJ FroYo HD v.4.6. Wifi does not work in this one either but at least it does not litter my SD card :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
I got MDJ 4.6 going but no sim card detected, no mei and no data or phone but wifi is fine. I have a t9193 (Australian variant) with 512 mb and an using a gsm network. Also I got wp7 working fully.

What is your type of hd2 and network type.

I suspect you may have a tmobile.

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] attractor:
TMOUS indeed. I wonder if anybody else with a US HD2 had any luck booting SD builds with MAGLDR.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
in the screenshot of the 16GB i noticed :

1: FAT32 (where android goes)

2: "Unformatted" (where WM7 goes)

now where did the 200MB go (FAT16) which WM7 did on boot up?
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
The issues are not confined to the US Hd2. I have an Australian t9193 and Ricola7 most likely has a european t8585. Both mine and his have 512 mb whereas you have 1024. This explains why we both cannot see our sim cards or have no phone or data in some builds. You, on the other hand have wifi issues which we don't.

What is important to note here is that again, hardware will be an issue with the builds that will work and not work.

I tried to see a pattern today and notice builds that offered both rmnet and ppp were working for me but this is preliminary.

Regards,
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
The 200mb fat 16 should be resized to 8gb (in my case) and reformated in windows to fat 32. See my instructions.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
after staring at that for a while, i understood your post and understood the 200MB part

does this mean that WM7 formats a 200MB Fat16 and doesnt use it? haha
[HD2 Android SD Development] darrengladysz:
I don't know if wp7 uses it or not, but just to be safe, use only 7.8 g or the 8g :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
meaning?

Partition 1

copy the FAT16 (expanding 200MB to 8GB) and change to FAT32

Partition2

copy the "unformatted" to the remaining 8GB

as long as I achieve these "partitions", i should be good to go :)

giving it a go now, WM7 on my HD2 is beautiful. Now to get SUPERAM1.5 to work from Magldr 112 as well
[HD2 Android SD Development] futaris:
Is it possible to boot Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Phone 7 and Android?

Can we build an android build that will:

flash a NAND of Windows Mobile 6.5

flash a NAND of Windows Phone 7

flash a NAND of Android

It would be good if we could do this directly from MAGLDR...

Can a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM coexist with MAGLDR?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
for now , maybe not

Partition 1 (FAT32) Expanded from 200MB to 13GB

Partition 2 (Unformatted) Exact copy from 1645MB from my 2GB SD CARD

Followed instructions for MAGLDR 112

SUPERRAM1.5 (with LETAMA) initgz

Dual boot now working, Fantastic!

Next is to get Live working, Activation and also .XAP installers

Core Droid Working Here

Hi ricola,

seems you edited the file wrongly. I used the file you attached for core droid and couldn't get phone to work too. I looked inside your edited init.rc file and found these 2 lines

"service ril-daemon /system/bin/rild -l /system/lib/libhtc_ril_wrapper.so -- -d /dev/smd0

nand_init socket rild stream 660 root radio"

However, the correct lines should be

"service ril-daemon /system/bin/rild -l /system/lib/libhtc_ril_wrapper.so -- -d /dev/smd0 nand_init

socket rild stream 660 root radio"

I edited it accordingly and everything is working for me. I've attached the amended copy here.
[HD2 Android SD Development] lan78691:
same here :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] ricola7:
OMG!

If that works you are my hero of the month...

Which programm did you use for editiing? Cause I played around with some more Android builds yesterday and I used Wordpad for the first time to edit the init file. Before i used texteditior, and in the texteditor you can't see the returns/paragraphs...it's only one long line. But with word pad you see the returns...

I will try that I now.

Thanks man! I will report back....

System.ext2 editing help

Does anyone know of a program in ubuntu or win to mount and edit system.ext2 in most Android build especially in Cedesmith compatible ones. I've tried to mount it in linux but found no files in it so I need the proper program to mount it. IUs someone can help thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] attractor:
I only used my HD2 as SD reader. I copied the wp7 partition to my hard drive. In fact I still have it there in case I want to use it again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ricola7:
Ok, after editing the init.rc correctly, i got phone functioning but not wifi...

So I have the same problem as attractor

But now we are getting really closer, I have 2 ideas which I will try out now...
[HD2 Android SD Development] daysey:
Nice to know it works for you now.

Wifi works without any modification here, hope you didn't change the kernel or any other thing apart from the rootfs.img file?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Fabian1985:
Dammn my englisch is not that good. But...I will give It a try tomorrow. I've been bysy whole day and finally got my WP7 registered. I want to test WP7 and make use of It and I want to text with friends over Whatsapp so that's why I want to use both.

It will be hard, but not inpossible:P

Thanx
[HD2 Android SD Development] ricola7:
Ok man, thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT PLEASE LET ME KNOW: How did you edit the init.rc EXACTLY....

I mean, I edited the file like I describe in my tutorial (which I have to edit soon too lol): Mount rootfs.img with Gizmo, open init.rc with word pad, add nand_init (in the correct line) and then hit the save button and close word pad. Unmount using Gizmo again and then obviously copy the Android folder to sd card...

I don't get what I did wrong...I mean it's clear for the first tries...but after you wrote today that I put nand_init in the worng line I edited it correctly and it STILL didn't work... But replacing the init.rc file with your attachement works...

So please describe me what steps you took to edit the file!!!!

Greetz Dom

EDIT: PEOPLE...LOOK AT DAYSEY...HE IS THE HERO OF THE MONTH (at least for me) Cotulla is okay too ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
Yeah, you can have one sd for android and one for wp7... that's what I do so I have plenty of space in each os... I have my 16gb card for wp7 and my 32gb card for my android builds... I got a microsd card sized square cut out of the foam on the backplate of my hd2 to store the extra microsd card so I don't lose it, and just switch the card when I want to switch OS's. I think I might get another 32gb card for wp7 so I'll have 32gb in each OS. I like keeping a lot of music, psx roms, and comic books on my phone, so I don't want to have to split a 32gb between the 2 OS's, and I don't think it's too big of a deal to switch sd cards to switch to a different os completely, so this setup works well for me.

Hi Daysey,

I was having the same issue as ricola7 as I was using his method.

I spent 2 days trying to solve this issue.

I an equipped for Windows dev but not Android.

Would there be any way to get an edited init file for this build:

http://htcpedia.com/forum/htc-hd2-r...-02-01-11-mccm-hd-v4-0-[desire-hd-sense].html

It has gauner1986 kernel which worked great for me.

I am attaching a zip of the roots img file. This one does not yet work as wifi is not working.

If anyone is fluent in android, it would be appreciated if they could unzip the attached file and edit it to add the nand_init as I can't seem to get it working with my windows tools. I believe you need cpio or something.

Thanks again
