[Q] PROBLEM! NAND ANDROID HTC HD2 without SDCARD

Please help...
I have TMOUS HTC HD2 with no working SD card SLOT.
I want install android to NAND and use mobile without SD CARD.
It is possible install some android without SD CARD? It is possible install android from computer by USB cable?
I try first android DFT_Android (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620=android+2.3)
But it is old, it is possible install some a newer?
And - if i install DFT_ANDROID, i cannot install applanet -
It write message, that it needs an SD card .... can be appplanet loaded into internal memory? how to do it?
I want use HTC HD2 totally without SD card (SD CARD slot not working)!
Thank

possible but not probable.
CWM utilizes SD Card, ie picking up the update.zip (or any *.zip) from SD Card mainly. So you can rule out CWM.
DFT, sounds like it's only DFT for you, and flash from Windows. So you can "limit" your search for DFT ROMs that doesn't require any SD Card.
Good luck!~

This thread should probably be in the Q&A forum, but besides that, doesn't CLK store Clockwork mod on nand? Might be worth asking within that thread.

you could install roms with adb commands (MAGLDR/cLK Versions) and/or fastboot (in cLK versions).
You must unzip the rom and begin to flash/copy each partition/folder from command line.

I was thinking that, I know with fastboot you can flash .img files straight to the NAND, but I don't know if it would work, and whether you could build the system.img/boot.img easily enough yourself.

1) can you publish some tutorial for flash some ROM without CD CARD?
2) i cant set storage of photo to internal memory. This setting missing in DFT_Android. I cant make photo, because still write INSERT SD CARD and I have no setting for storage.
3) install apk files I can via HTC SYNC. Thanks...

Doesn't your HD2 have any storage? Not understood if your HD2 has NO SD card but some kind of hard wired storage in place of an SD card, or it has a faulty SD slot. ** by SD we of course mean microSD.
if it has an SD storage even if hard wired, MAGLDR has the ability to format the SD as well as mount it as USB storage.
in my earlier installs of Android NAND, I rarely took the SD card out of my HD2, because MAGLDR conveniently does it all.
- formating the SD card (FAT32 and inclusive of an EXT3 partition)
- mounting as USB storage so you can copy the CWM zip file to the SD
good luck and tell us how it goes.

Be more specific please?
How big is the SD card?
How much can your HD2/Android use?
** could the rest be used as EXT3 extension for the Android System?

Partioning 8gb SD card, and running GDX v010

Sorry, but another basic question which I've searched for the answer but can't find an answer that makes sense to me.
I have an x8 running on Gingerdx v010. Runs great.
I have just been given a 8gb Micro SD Card, Class 10.
What's the best way to go about swapping the stock sd card with this new one - do i just copy and paste all off the old sd card onto my desktop, and then copy all that back to the new sd card?
Or do I need to partition the card in any special way?
I'm a beginner at this, so please don't get too technical!
I'd like to put some music on the new card, and I reckon i've got a few GB of albums etc to put on it. also, will probably try to put as much as possible on it to make sure there's plenty of available RAM in the internal memory.
Thanks in anticipation of your help.
This is a really useful site - glad I found it.

bump... anyone?

Backup copy/move all the files in old sdcard to PC. Insert your new sdcard and boot, enter CWM>advanced option>partition sdcard>select 512mb>then zero swap. reboot. Then copy/move ur files to new sdcard You can also partition using windows You just need partition if you are installing many apps like me

Partitioning is not required, just copy data over from old card to new card.

[Q] vegacomb upgrading sd card

Hey,
I'm sure there is a way to do this but I'm not sure!
I have just upgraded to vegacomb and are still learning! I have the stock 4gb SD card at the moment and want to upgrade. Do I have to start from scrafch again or can I copy every thing from one to the other..... the from and all apps etc?
Thanks

First thing is to make sure you make a backup of your data in your 4GB card if it has enough space ( From the recovery bootloader ).
Then you copy all the folders on mem card into a folder on your computer. Make sure you select any hidden or file system files on the mem card and copy them too.
Depending on how you want to use your new card, you can either format it for FAT32 or mixture of fat32 and ext3 . If you are planing to move you apps to SD using link2SD, i recommend have dual format which allows copying "most" of the apps to the mem card without effecting how they work. Best way to do it is to create FAT32 first and as the first-to-read partition then create ext3. make sure both partitions are primary.
I use Easeus Partion Master ( on windows ) to format the card with dual file systems.
After you did it, you can copy back the files which you saved on your computer at first stage back to the new mem card.
Hope it helps

Hi, yeah ttah does help thank you mate. So the actual ROM (vegacomb) is stored on the tablet and not the card then... thats what I wanted to doubler check.
Thanks mate.

[Q] Booting from external SD card

So apparently, it is possible to boot an GS3/GS4 directly from an external SD card, if you have a valid ARM-arch kernel written to the card.
The question is:
Would it be possible to boot a custom recovery plus ROM from the external SD card for GS4 Verizon/ATT users, whose internal bootloaders are locked down?
This would require getting a blank SD card and writing a suitable ARM kernel to the card using an appropriate utility (Linux dd for example).
Any ideas?

Script to set up SD card for switchroot android, l4t ubuntu, emummc etc.

Hello,
i made a script that sets up the SD card for switchroot android, l4t ubuntu, emummc etc.
Creates and formats the necessary partitions, lets you increase the size of each partition (if there is space left), flashes l4t ubuntu and android images automatically (if provided), SD card still usable in horizon OS.
See readme in git repo for more information.
github.com/lulle2007200/SwitchSDSetup/releases

Just want to make sure I'm understanding this post correctly. So this will format the micro sd card into three partitions (atmosphere emummc, l4t ubuntu, and android) in one single micro sd card so that there isn't a need to have each os installed on multiple sd cards?

Correct. This has been a thing since android for switch came out. There's actually a script that does the same thing, hidden in the main android thread.

Can you update this for the Android 10 lineage image that's out?

Guess that's a no

Hekate has built in support to install Android 10. That being said, check out SDSetup V2. Haven't used this in a few months, but should still work. You may have to rename the switchroot android zip since the naming scheme changed in the meantime.
