yeah I hate to be a noob but ive been looking everywhere for this info as well. would be nice if it was in the sapphire hacking wiki...
i just rooted and installed cyanogenMod 3.9.11.2 yesterday and SD partition and Apps2Sd is the inly thing I cant figure out.......
use sdparted - see this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543985
If your sd card is blank or if youve backed up its contents then you can just power on using home + power and you will see the option there to setup your partitions
Cant find it
Not with cyanogen recovery 1.4 I did it through g parted live cd with my screen flickering like crazy because i failed to notice the resolution icon...but any way I am appd to sd'd up
I used Amon_RA recovery image to partition my SD. Now my question is how do I know it is partitioned and know that my apps are automatically being installed there.
Also I had apps on my phone prior to partitioning and I noticed an option in the recovery to move apps to SD, is that all you need to do to move them?
Thanks guys
Partition
After u format it they will copy over automatically
1.4 Does not seem to have that option...

1.4 Does not seem to have that option, and since this is the first time I have used it, I have nothing to compare it to. I see " [Alt+F] repair ext filesystems", that can't be it, can it?
I have been at this for 16 odd hours and have overcome wifi probs, activation probs, chevvy issues.. done 3 flashes of wp7, radio updated.. all is grand now but the memory card issue!
Please, someone allow me to go to bed by explaining how I can format the card to show more than 200mb?!
I have taken the card out, formatted on my pc, reformatted with other tools, am stuck, and have spent the last hour searching through threads for info I had earlier but can no longer find! it doesnt help that any search containing "SD" is ignored as xda search sees it as too small a word.
Who wants some good Karma?
I really dont get why this topic is been creating/cloned etc on a regular basis??
Please use search function, this topic has been discussed many times.
Use some commen sense, dont look for "SD", use keywords like "WP7" and "200" or "200mb", "partition" etc. Or even reading the readme that came with the WP7 rom would be a good start
Why not help me instead of witholding what you know and making me forrage around one hell of a mess of a forum to find information I have been searching for since this afternoon????????
from the read me, and i quote "WARNING: WP7 will format the SD card during the first boot.
Two SD card partitions are created during cold boot.
First one is a 200Mb FAT partition and another one with unknown format which
is used as RAID with main memory."
That doesnt explain how to change the RAID partition into physical memory I can access from the device...

Here is what you need to do:
Make sure your SD card is in the phone
Do a factory reset by going to settings>About>Reset your phone.
After WP7 reboots, it will recognize your card and all the date.
You will have to re-enter your Activation code.

Thanks for the advice.
Is there any way this can be done outside of the device? I have heard that I can get an SD formatting tool but whatever one I downloaded did nothing to help.
I am reluctant to do the 4th hard reset of the day for this OS as a) there is talk of the auth code working only 3 times, and b) I have everything else working now and dont want to tempt fate!
Is it only a WP7 hard reset that will resolve this for me now?
:-(
Thanks in advance of your help my man!!
also, wont a hard reset undo all of the unlocking and such from chevvy?

Im pretty sure it will undo the unlocking, but it only takes a few minutes to go thru it again once you have everything downloaded.
Hard reset number 5 it is then!!
It didnt save my settings on the mem card, obviously as it wasnt in there in the first place during the previous hard reset.
Im becoming a master at hard resets and personalisation now!
that's not gonna help, , the first time it boots its gonna again make a 200meg partition and the rest create a raid.
download a partition program (there are loads, personally i have a ubuntu laptop and use that, you could also make an ubuntu live cd, boot to that and delete teh partition there.
through Ubuntu...
phone into magldr, usb mass storage, connect to Ubuntu, the 200meg filesystem icon will soon appear on the desktop, right click, format, instead of clicking ok click disk utility, select the 200 partition and click unmount then click delete, then select the unknown partition, and click delete.
if you are going back to android now would be a great time to set up an ext partition if you want one.
If you are sticking with wp7, then you can't format it to show more than 200meg, that's all that wp7 allocates to the fat partition, all the rest goes to system storage. Messing with the disk (even removing it whilst wp7 is running, i believe) will trash the data on the card and wp7 will reformat it.
If you are heading back to wm then create a fat32 partition the full size of the card.

Actually, it has done the trick, however now I am back to having a locked device again and cant deploy apps from my pc. Back to where I was 6 hours ago.
All I want is space to store more than 4 apps before the dang thing runs out of space.
Time to grab a beer me thinks.
Thread update.
I am now working on providing tutorials for the following.
One card method - I am looking to improve this if I can.
Two card method - This is for micro SD cards over 8gb. There seems to be issues when using 16gb card with the one card method so I am now extensively looking into this to provide tutorial to make larger Android partitions than WP7 if you wanted (As WP7 takes the largest partition with the one card method)
Android SD Magldr Builds - More support and more intuitive tutorials for setting up all known SD Magldr Builds.
I am also looking into alternative ways to the above. I have lots of ideas and theories to improve speed, functionality, setup and configuring you PC/Laptop for convenience to performing the 2 card method, not just for now but for when you do this again in the future. For example, you may wish to install the latest WP7 ROM. The tools are already included in Windows operating systems later than XP. I am now experimenting this and so far, it looks good.
If there are any requests on what else I should provide support or tutorials for, the please feel free to leave you comments either by private message or through this thread.
Please be patient with me as I am trying out the above to make it as clear and hassle free as possible. I have learned a lot from Xda and this is my way of giving back and helping others.

In this thread I have put together a tutorial on how to dual boot WP7 and Android using the one card method. To use Android, the build must be one that has been adapted to work via Magldr. Builds which has been kindly adapted by zarathustrax are on Post 2 so please show your thanks to him for taking time to convert them for us to use.
This tutorial presumes you already know your way around Magldr and know what buttons to press to select etc. If you need any help then let me know. I will help the best I can but cant always promise to be online. The tutorial recommends you use a SD card reader instead of Mass Storage in Magldr as Mass Storage is not always reliable.
1/ Download a WP7 and Android Build (Maglrd Build) you want to use.
2/ Run DWI.exe to install WP7 to your phone.
3/ Go through the setup and once it tells you that you have a new SMS which is welcoming you to WP7 go to Settings - About - Reset Your Phone and once phone restarts hold power to enter into Magldr.
4/ Remove SD card and insert it into the computer.
5/ I used Minitools Partition Wizard which you can get HERE, the Home version is free. Start the program and you will see two partitions on your SD card. Right click and delete the largest partition, this will leave you with Unallocated partition.
6/ Now right click the Unallocated partition and select Create. Leave 'Create As' as Logical and 'File System' as Unformatted. Under 'Size and Location', slide your Unallocated space to the right to roughly half the size of your SD card so the blank grey area is on the left. Click OK.
7/ Now click on Apply (The tick) and when it comes up saying Successful (This may take a while), remove your SD card and put it back into your phone and shut down Partition Manager.
8/ Boot up WP7 and go through the setup again. Once the message beeps again to say welcome to WP7, go to Settings - About and look at the 'Total Storage' and 'Available Storage'. These values should now be roughly the same.
9/ Hold Power button to restart and hold Power to enter into Magldr. Remove SD card and put it back in your card reader. Open Partition Wizard again, right click on the 200MB Other partition and select Delete. Right click on the new Unallocated partition and select Create. The File System should be Fat32 and set as Primary. Click Ok and Apply (The tick).
10/ When all the changes has been applied click OK and right click on the Other partition and select Modify and then Set Partition As Primary. This is important to run Android as well as WP7. If Partition were still Logical then once Android Build was loaded it would not recognise anything off your memory card . Put the SD card back into your phone and boot WP7 and exit Partition Manager.
11/ In WP7, go to Settings - About and double check the Total Storage and Available Storage to see if they are the same as before, they should be except the one should now be 200mb larger.
12/ Power off and insert SD card back into your card reader.
13/ This time start Computer or My Computer depending what version of Windows you are running. Move the Android Magldr folder to your SD card and read the instructions to set boot settings in Magldr. This time I will Boot MarkinXHDExtraClean Magldr Build but DL Desire Magldr build worked for me just as good as Nand. You can also use one of the builds in Post 2.
14/ Once Android folder has been copied, remove the SD card and put it back into your phone. When in Magldr, press the volume buttons up and down until you get to Services - BootSettings - AD SD Dir. For MarkinuXHDExtraClean Build the zImage and initrd.gz are on the main directory of the SD card so select <->. Always read the chefs installation instructions.
15/ You should now be in the main Magldr menu. Press vol buttons and select Boot AD SD.
Congratulations.......you know have WP7 and Android dual booting on your device. If this tutorial helped you, then please hit the Thanks button.
I'm beginning to turn this post into a collection of the builds that I've edited to work with magldr to dualboot with wp7. I am keeping these builds in my dropbox for quick and easy download... just right click the download link and select "save link as". I am just including the entire build for most of these for convenience, because some of the builds needed the init.rc file edited after the build was booted up once, as there were updates and files that get installed on first boot and the init.rc file was changed back to normal... so all the builds here have any updates or files in a root folder already installed, so they are all ready to go... just unrar and copy build folder to root of sd card, and be sure to tell magldr which folder to boot android from. Most builds include a new 1gb data.img or they create one on first boot, in which case it may take 5-10min.
All credit for the builds go to the chefs of each build... all I did was modify the init.rc file so it could be successfully booted with magldr. If any chef does not want me posting a download link of your build here, and would prefer I just post the edited files or not post anything about your build at all, please pm me and I will remove the link immediately. I am not trying to take credit for any of these builds... I am just trying to make it easier for people to install and run.
So, here's the builds:

I have more edited, and will be adding more to this post as I get time to organize the post and builds and make space in my dropbox. If you have requests on what builds I should add next, or have any questions, feel free to pm me. I have gotten most builds I have tried working well booting from SD with MAGLDR. ENJOY!
ALSO.... I've had a few problems recently with my computer corrupting some of my edited rootfs.img's... I think all of the one's listed so far are ok, but if anyone has a problem with any of them running, please pm me and let me know so I can fix it. I'm re-editing some more builds soon, so I will add the rest of the builds I've got running to this post soon.
Very nice tutorial and easy to follow. I had problems before when I tried it and almost gave up.
Thanks
I used the original posted guide to get mine working, albeit I struggled initially due to not reading it properly. If your new guide helps more persons to get WP7 and Android dual booting then that is great BTW I am using this CM7 Gingerbread build on my android partition and it works great, just need to follow the additional instructions in the install folder for getting it to boot via MAGLDR http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898831

Thanks for your feedback and I have to agree that with the original tutorial, I did struggle with it myself. Also it shows a few ways to do it. The one is a very long process copying one partition to another which dont apply for most people.
I posted this to try and make it clearer and easier to follow. I also focused on using only application for partition management where the original told you to use two.
Thanks for letting us know about the CM7 Gingerbread build. Most builds can be modified in a Linux Distro where just editing one line will make the SD build boot in Magldr.
Thanks so much for the guide and the Android Rom recommendation.
I got a question...
I got Android successfully booted, however under Android environment, it says no SD card is present. I'm using the DL Desire Magldr build.
Do I need to make another partition???
Any help is appreciated
Thanks!
out of curiousity,
Can the both of them share the same set of media files? or do you need two sets of it, one for the android partition, one for the WP7 partition.

You forgot to change the wp7 partition from logical to primary. That will solve that.

No, they can't share files. WP7 only reads it's partition and android only reads it's partition.
That's why I like to use dropbox with both of them. I can keep music or files in my dropbox and access them easily from both OS's. There's several dropbox apps for both wp7 and android. It also makes it easy to transfer files to my phone without having to hook it up to the computer or take the card out or deal with zune. Use my referral link below in my signature to get an extra 250mb added to the initial 2gb you get for free when you sign up and install the dropbox app to a computer.

The answer to the question and the how to is in the tutorial above. I have copied it for you for your convenience.
Make sure you have switched off your phone because you will loose info if you just extract the SD card in WP7, insert SD card into a card reader on your PC. In Partition Manager.....
'Right click on the Other partition and select Modify and then Set Partition As Primary. This is important to run Android as well as WP7. If Partition were still Logical then once Android Build was loaded it would not recognise anything off your memory card.'
Thank you I'll be trying it soon

No problem... I was very active in the other dualboot thread, too. You did a good job writing this tutorial up, so hopefully there won't be too many people confused, but I'll be around to help answer peoples questions, too. I figure once a thread is public, it's up to everyone who knows to help everyone out who's having problems... that's what this community is about... plus the more people that get involved in problem solving, the more we find easier and better ways of doing things. It was actually hyellow and me that figured out that you need to change the partition from logical to primary when I was having the problem of not being able to mount the card in android. It was fun watching and helping the method that you have posted evolve over several days and get easier and quicker to do.
Also, I was thinking that I might collect all my edited SD builds (I've got almost every build working) in to my dropbox and post the links to them in the second post to make it easier for people following this tutorial to grab a build that's already edited to work with magldr. What do you think?
htc hd2 overheats when dual boots
I have dual booted my HD2 using an 8 GB and 16 GB SD card. I got everything up and running and the bottom one third of the HD2 gets hot and freezes or reboots every time . When I placed one rom on the device, the device runs normally. Can anyone advise what might be the problem and the solution.

Can you provide a bit more clarity to your problem.
Does this happen with both the 8gb and 16gb cards? Also what build are you using when your phone gets hot and restarts or freezes?
I find it strange that it is fine when you are using either Android or WP7 without dual boot as you are using only one build at a time when dual booting. You are only gaining access to different partitions on your card, pretty much the same as you would if you have an EXT2/3/4 partition for data saving in Android. Do you still have the same problem if you partition you SD card for a EXT2/3/4 for data saving?
From what you have said the only possible reason is somehow your phone might have a problem dealing with partitions because in theory dual booting runs either one or another and shouldnt be different if you were using only Android or WP7.
Using Minitool's Partition Manager, you might also want to try formatting the Fat32 partition by right clicking on Fat32 partition, click on Format and choosing the cluster size to 32. Save these changes and try again.
The solution could be setting up Android to work properly. In DL Desire's build, there are quite a few options as to how you save your data. You have the save to Data.Img file which must be placed inside the directory for the build, and without going through every type there is also save to EXT2/3/4. You must alter the values in the Config.txt file for the build to know where to save data. Double check you have setup the Config.txt file correctly as you could be telling the build to save to EXT2/3/4 when there is not one. I dont know but it could affect the WP7 partition so it corrupts it and causes the above mentioned problems. Always read the chefs installation notes. Try installing MarkinXHD Extra Clean Magldr Build instead of DL Desire just to make sure.
Can anyone else throw any solutions to this problem?

I completely agree with the community sharing knowledge and that was one of the main reasons for me posting this tutorial. I am a strong believer in if you give a man a fish, then you have provided one dinner but if you teach that man to fish, then he has a lifetime worth of meals.
It would be very generous for you to share the builds you have converted to boot into Magldr as it would give people more options to what build they can choose to dual boot WP7 with. As a matter of fact, being certified in Microsoft, I was looking into doing this myself and was the next mission for me. I have limited Linux use but I am starting to sink my teeth into it and become fluent.

What do you mean by activate? Do you mean get your activation code? If so, get it anytime... you will need the activation code to use live services in wp7 anytime you flash a new wp7 rom. If you mean activate your cell phone service, that can be done at any time, also.

Thank you for the YouTube link to the same process as described in this tutorial.
I have watched the video and it does not mention that you have to change the Unfomatted partition from Logical to Primary. This is essential if you want to use the camera and to gain access to other files such as music from you SD card. Also in the video it is being demonstrated in Easeus Partition Manager. This is a good program but with it you cant change the Unformatted partition from Logical to Primary. This is the main reason I chose to use Minitool Partition Wizard. With this program everything can be done.

You really should download the HD2 NAND Toolkit. You can use the toolkit to flash HSPL, MAGLDR, or clk to your HD2. It has all of these included in the download for the Toolkit. You can also use it to flash an .nbh file to your HD2. This means you can flash Splashscreens and Windows Mobile ROMs with the Toolkit also.
Go to this thread to learn how to dual boot Windows Phone 7.5 and Android. But just so you know Android can only be run from SD card when you have WP 7.5 installed in NAND. You can not however dual boot Android from NAND and WP 7.5from SD card as WP uses your SD card as internal memory.
Last of all for your on good please read the guide in my signature so you can hopefully educate yourself about exactly what the MAGLDR is and what it's function is. Plus it is a load more of info I think would very much help you to read.
thank you very mach i jast seee i need to put the android in SD card will it make it sloer? or its will upload in self to RAM on start up... if its like this maybe i will start with jast android 4.0.4 soo jast for this what do i need?

The first thread you linked is a tool used to install Android to NAND widget means Android boots from internal memory. So unless you want to just use Android on your HD2 this is not the guide for you right now.
The second thread you linked is to a SD card buildvthat uses Super RAM which means that part of the main Android system boots into RAM on start up widget makes the build run faster. If this is what you want to use for your Android you just need to download it and extract the contents of the .zip file to the root of your SD card and then either use the file explorer to touch on CLRCAD and then HARET, or you can install a dual boot app for Windows Mobile that you can use to boot your Android from SD card.
I just want to correct a very very wrong statement, WP7.5 is very well supported. The HD2 is often better supported by the dev community than official WP devices, infact the HD2 got Tango before any other WP phone. Also with WP7.5 on NAND you can dual boot so you can have Android and WP7.5, you can't do that the other way around. I would suggest dual booting HD2Owners ROM found HERE along with AmericanAndroid on the SD found HERE. These two are both realy stable and well supported.

Ok let me see if I can walk you through this some. First download the 02.04.12 HD2O© ROM, the AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 SD card build, the Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14, the EASEUS ALL-IN-ONE Partition Manager Software mentioned in the guide I linked, and if you do not already have it download the HD2 NAND Toolkit. You will also need to download and install Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center (these programs have the USB drivers you will need) depending on what version of Windows you have, you will just have to google for a download as I do not know what version of windows you have, I suggest you put both the WP7 ROM, the Android SD card build, and the 2.15.50.14 Radio in a folder that you can easily remember were they are on your computer. Also go ahead and install both the HD2 Toolkit and the partitioning software on your computer.
Now to make sure you do not have any problems with your SD card I recommend you do a full re-format of your SD card. You will need a USB card reader and a Micro SD card adapter.I linked them just so you will have a visual reference of what you need, but those are the ones I have and they work great. Aslo if your computer has a card reader you like mine does you just need a Micro SD card adapter. Now back to re-formatting your SD card.
Place your SD card in the Micro SD card adapter, then place the Micro SD card adapter in the USB card reader (or the USB card reader on your computer), and then plug the USB card reader into one of the USB ports on your computer. Let your computer install the drivers and go to the windows start menu and click on Computer or My computer depending on which version of Windows you are using. You should see the SD card as a removable drive. Right click the drive and select copy and then create a folder to paste the data that is on the SD card already so you will have a backup. Now right click on the drive again and select format, when the format window pops up make sure to uncheck the the box beside Quick Format and also make sure it says FAT32 under File System. Click Start and then click Ok on the warning window that pops up. Then set back and relax until the card is done being formatted.
Now you need to make sure you have at least 50% or more battery, but I suggest you have a full charge before you start just to be safe. Once you have the proper battery level you need to boot your HD2 into the bootloader by holding the volume down button down while you power on your HD2. When you see the multicolor boot connect it via USB and wait until you see the Serial in the white bar of the bootloader change to USB. Now open the folder with the 2.15.50.14 Radio in it and extract the files from the .rar file, you will need Win RAR to do this. Once you have the files extracted click on the CustomRUU.exe file and follow all of the on screen instructions. Once the RUU is done you will have the 2.15.50.14 Radio installed on your HD2.
Next you need to boot your HD2 back into the bootloader and connect it to your computer via USB again. Open the HD2NAND Toolkit and click on the Install HSPL button under Main Tools. Follow the on screen instructions and when it is done you will have HSPL 2.08 installed on your HD2. Now go back to the HD2 NAND Toolkit and click on the Insatall MAGLDR button under Main Tools. Follow the on screen instructions and when it is done you will have MAGLDR 1.13 installed on your HD2.
Now that you have MAGLDR installed on your HD2 it should only boot up to the MAGLDR 1.13 main menu. Go to option number 5 USB Flasher and then find the HD2O ROM file you downloaded and extract the files drom it. Once the files are extracted click on the DWI.exe and follow the on screen commands. When it is done you will have Windows Phone 7 on your HD2.
Now you need to follow the part of the guide you linked that I have quoted below. I left the link to the video of the method that I have quoted so watch it as it is a very good video. Oh and in case you do not notice it in the video, you need to hold down the power button while your HD2 is booting to boot to the MAGLDR main menu. And the video will show you how to get the Android build to boot on your HD2.

THIRD METHOD - USING A SINGLE SD CARD - HERE IS ANOTHER ALTERNATE METHOD PROPOSED BY XDA MEMBER HYELLOW (UPDATED)
1. Put your sd card inside the hd2 and power on.
2. Go to about screen, in settings, and reset your device. Let it reset and boot to WP7 again. While booting to WP7, it'll create the partitions it needs, so this is important. After you have gone through the setup wizard, go to about screen and reset your device again.
3. When it has booted into magldr screen, remove the sd card and insert into pc. (make sure that magldr is shown and stays there at bootup, otherwise it'll boot straight into wp7 without sd card and that is not what we want.
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. 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.
5. Sit back and take a break.
break.
6. You now have a green fat16 partition to the left, some unallocated grey portion in the middle and your WP7 partition in modern turqoise colour on the far right. Agreed? Now remove the sd card from PC and insert in HD2.
7. After you have inserted the sd card, let it boot into WP7. Remember what your last action was when you were still in WP7? Yes, you pressed reset, so the device actually thinks he is still resetting the device. He might do it too, but just go through the setup wizard again.
8. Go to about screen and verify your storage. Don't look strange if when the storage has a different of about 1Gb, this is swallowed by WP7 for system stuff etc. Are you happy with the progress so far? Then power down your device and remove the sd card. Allow the HD2 to fully powered down as sometimes the screen is pitch black, but the device is still turning off.
9. Insert the sd card in pc and, using EASUS right click on the green fat 16 partition and select resize/move. Now fill up the rest of the unallocated space and hit apply. This is your android partition.
10. Format the sd android partition (not the whole sd card!) using EASUS to FAT32 using 32 or 64 kb cluster size and put an android build onto it and test.
11. IMPORTANT You need to convert the wp7 unformatted partition to primary for the sd android to see the sd card Use minitool partition wizard to do this. Right click on your WP7 unformatted partition and select modify and then click on set as primary and hit apply. Here is the link for minitool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10887494&postcount=372

Hope this is detailed enough for you.
T-Macgnolia did a great job with the walk-through the only thing I would suggest is that you can save yourself a LOT of headache if after you get the HD20 ROM installed use CAB Sender and send one of the partition updates from xboxmod to your phone. This will let you skip all the hard partitioning stuff. The CAB's with various partition sizes can be found HERE. After you send the CAB you will have to go to 'Settings' -> 'about' -> 'reset your phone' -> 'yes' -> 'yes'
From that point on you can finish with installing Android onto the SD card.

Well to be very honest to you I have only flashed four WP7 ROMs to my HD2. So my knowledge of the ends and outs of WP7 on the HD2 is somewhat limited. I do remember reading something about Cab Sender. I think you have your HD2 booted into the WP7 ROM and your HD2 connected via USB to your computer to I se the Cab Sender to transfer cab files to your HD2 and install them also. Maybe XDA Seior Member voluptuary can spread some more light on it for you. But if I remember correctly if what voluptuary is telling to do takes out Step 1 to 11 of the guide I qouted and everything in the video up to here he puts te Android build on the SD card as I think it will. Then I say it sounds like you may want to check it out I am willing to bet it is not complicated to figure out.
Now just on a side note, I do still say it would be a very good idea to still do it te other way even if you try the Cab Sender. It is always a very good idea of how to manually do things. This way you understand a little bit better what you are doing to your device. And remember knowledge is power.

All you would have to do is after you install the HD20 WP7 ROM send one of the partition CAB's I linked to earlier, so say you want a 2GB partition for Android you would send "DEV_EXTRAPART_2G.cab" with CAB Sender and then do a full reset from within WP7. Then let WP7 reboot and you should be all set to power down the phone take the SD card out and copy the 'Android' folder over to the SD card that you would have taken out of the ZIP from the AmericanAndroid thread. You have to be sure to follow the few instuctions in the AmericanAndroid ZIP readme to get it to boot via MAGLDR.
Then to point MAGLDR to the right place to boot Android you need to, while powering the phone on with the loaded up SD card, press and hold the power button to get into the MAGLDR menu then go to '10. Services' -> '1. BootSettings' -> '3. AD SD Dir' and then select the 'Android' folder you just copied over to your SD card.

Well to get a Windows live account you just have to go to live.com and creat a account or just creat one when you go through the set up when you first boot WP7.
But I think what you are asking is how to get live services working. To do this you will have to contact Microsoft. Check out this thread for more details on it. I got my code over live chat on m computer, I told them it was a HTC HD7.
Or you can use skype and call 1-800-642-7676
its microsft Us support number and its toll free so you can call it on skype for free (from anywehre in world) say you have a technical problem and its user related.
then it will connect you to an operator
he/she will ask for your problem, just say u have a HTC HD7 phone and it wants a 25 digit activation code from u.
Then he/she will ask for your phone number, ur operator, ur email, and your name (don't worry they r not gonna spy on u, they just want it for registration, believe me I know ;-P )
then u have to be on hold for 5-10 mins and he/she will read u the activation code
BUT: if you have a poor connection or bad English language skills then the chat method is far better
PS: my opinion as an ORD? it doesn't worth the hassle. I remember after lots of hours spending online and finding the best rom and the best way to change to WP7 and finally activating it... I couldn't make it through the first day on WP7 (even thou I had SD android, the wake up bug really bugged me). then I just flashed to an ICS rom and then it was happily ever after
ok thanks evrey one soo i see a lot of ppl say thet WM7.5 is not thet good...
but i have 2 more qestion:
ace4cia i saw ICS on HD2 in youtube and i saw it is slow not moving fast do you have thet problam ?
and what rom do you advise?
and whan voluptuary says DEV_EXTRAPART_2G.cab its for the sastem only? if i install apps i can do it only on the 2 G or the all SD card

nope, not at all, well it's not like a quadcore phone but it is pretty well for ours, still far better than wp7 though ↖(^▽^)↗

All development, links, and information here are piecemealed together from the forums. I have NOT created ANY of the development. ALL credit due goes to the developers who have worked very diligently to create all of this. I have only tried to put it all together for this singular purpose to:
Set up WP7 and Android Jellybean NATIVESD (EXT4).
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR PHONES. BE CAREFUL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDES IN THESE FORUMS TO PREVENT ANY IRREVERSIBLE MISTAKES.
!!WARNING!! For future reference. There is a thread that states the spl uses the last24mb in nand memory, so that the 'uselast24nand' option in MAGLDR might lead to bricking your phone! Information on that found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286104
Also, recommended microSD cards that are UHS (Ultra High SPEED) and/or have fast RANDOM read/write access times. This will speed up Android on the SD.
Get a WP7 rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427611 I am using this one: HD2O_2.02_8779
Legend:
WP7 - Windows Phone 7 (this is an operating system for your sweet sweet hd2)
AD SD - This means Android on the SD. (but can be used for other things, like when you WILL make it be used for EXT4RecoverySD.
FAT32 - File Allocation Tables. Check it out on WikiPedia to get a simple yet nearly comprehensive understanding of what this means.
EXT4 - fourth extended filesystem is a journaling file system for Linux, developed as the successor to ext3. (Taken from wikipedia, just another way to write into storage. Another way would be FAT.
HTC HD2 - Thats your phone. I hope! Yikes! The HD2 is a "Legendary" device. Just google "hd2 legendary", and see what I mean. Goonies never die!
MAGLDR - "MAGLDR is an alternative custom bootloader for HTC HD2 that unleashes the full potential of your device by giving you several options to install Windows Phone 7, Android and ClockworkMod recovery on it, as well as allowing you to boot into these operating systems or recovery" ( These operating systems meaning windows 6.5, WP7, Any Android version. iOS? why bother?)
Recovery - This is what you can use to save yourself, restore, or change yourself. It comes in many different flavors. It's like P.E. Class after you've given up.
Start To Finish (let me know of any gaps, and I will fill them in) ::: Set up WP7 and Android Jellybean NATIVESD (EXT4)
START HERE
Hold down Power and Volume Down buttons on phone, till you see the SPL multicolored sreen. It will say serial on the bottom.
Plug in the phone to the computer. "Serial" will now change to "usb".
Download / Install HD2 Toolkit (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783 )
Click Install HSPL
Hold down Volume down button on phone when it powers off so that it boots into what is now HSPL (same multicolored screen as before)
Now back to HD2 Toolkit on computer. Click Wipe(task29). Click ok. Boot back into HSPL on phone by holding down the Volume Down button on the phone.
Now back to HD2 Toolkit on computer. Click Install MAGLDR. Now as phone powers off don't hold anything down, it will boot straight into MAGLDR v1.13.
On Phone inside MAGLDR (can be booted to by holding down power button, but right now it should be the only thing on it and should boot to it automatically.) Go to option 10. Services. Select option 5. ClearSD MBR. Press green call button to accept.
Press the volume down button repeatedly till you get to USB Flasher. Press the green call button to enter usb flasher.
Navigate to your WP7 rom folder on your computer (extract the wp7rom.zip to get the folder). Double click on your DWI.exe file. Follow the prompts in the following dialogs. This will install WP7.
When it boots up to WP7, you will have a few basic setup screens. Skip signing in with a Windows Live ID for now.
After you're in WP7, go to settings (press right arrow on top right of screen, scroll down, touch settings), scroll down, touch about, notice total and available storage amounts, scroll down, touch reset, touch ok/yes. when it powers off hold down the power button (quickly, if the usb cable is still plugged in it will cause the phone to automatically start) to boot back into magldr. DO NOT LET IT BOOT BACK INTO WP7. If that happens,you will have to 'reset' it from settings again.
Once back in MAGLDR. Remove the microSD card. Put it in your card reader on your computer. (edit: IMPORTANT! i re-followed this same guide on another hd2 with a dif sdcard. the sdcard was a sdhc card of 32 glorious gigabytes, and it didn't work. I now know why, because I just did it successfully. It's because i was using a memory card reader for SDcards not SD,SDHC,SDXC memory card reader. MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE RIGHT MEMORY CARD READER!!) Yes, you HAVE to have a card reader to do this. It cannot all be done from the phone (as far as I know).
From the computer, start EASEUS Partition Manager. (You can get it here, it's free: http://download.cnet.com/EaseUS-Partition-Master-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html ) Now, you will see two partitions. You will see a 200mb FAT16 partition and the rest of the space will be marked as 'unformatted'.
Right-click the larger 'unformatted' partition. Click Delete Partition. Click 'ok'. Click 'apply' on top left. Right click the same partitioin and click 'create'. On the following screen, select 'Logical' and 'unformatted' as the partition type (so that it doesn't screw up wp7). Slide the LEFT side of the blue bar over towards the right. Stop it anywhere that leaves the right section LARGER than the left section. You will need enough space on the left for your android ext4 partition and a fat32 partition for media files that will then be shared between android and wp7. Click ok. Let the 'system be updated' dialog (in easeus partition manager) finish.
You will have:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now close out EASEUS Partition Manager. Put the SDcard back into the phone. You should still be in the magldr menu. Select option 1. Boot WPH
Go thru Set up screens. Skip windows live sign in. Go back to settings. Select About. Look at Total/Available storage. It should be the same as the unformatted partition we just got through shrinking in EASEUS Partition Manger. Now, power off the phone, but do not choose 'reset' this time.
Once the phone is off, take out the sdcard. put back in the computer. start up easeus again. right click the fat16. press resize/move. slide the right side of the slider over till you leave about 1.5gb unallocated at the end (for the ext4 partition). Click ok. Click apply.
Now right click the fat partition again. Click format. Select FAT32 and cluster size of 32. Click ok. Click apply. Close Easeus.
Now you will have
And startup Minitool Partition Manager (get the latest one from here: http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html ) You will need the latest one so that you can create EXT4 partitions.
Right click the unallocated 1.5gb partition in the middle. Click create. Select Primary, EXT4, Cluster Size 4kb. Click ok. Click apply. Match settings to this image:
Now you will have:
Right click the unformatted partition at the end (this is the WP7 partition). and select 'set as primary'. ALL 3 partitions will be marked 'primary' now.
Close Minitool. Open Windows Explorer (windows key + E).
Copy your EXT4 Recovery SD (which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869673) to SDcard AND your android NATIVESD/EXT4 rom of choice (which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869673)
Now put sdcard (SAFELY REMOVE ALWAYS) back into phone. Let it boot naturally to WP7 (to make sure it's still there). Then Power off and boot back into MAGLDR. (Remember just hold down the power button (red end call button) when the phone is off to boot back into magldr.).
From Magldr, go to option 10. Services. Then select Bootsettings. Then select AD SD Dir. Then select your ext4recoverysd folder. You will now be back at the main Magldr menu.
Now select option 2. Boot AD SD. EXT4RecoverySD will now load. Ignore errors at bottom of screen. Select Install from SD, choose your android rom. Choose 'Install to SD-EXT'. Leave RMNET CONNECTION unchecked. Click Next. (Always use defaults unless there is reason not to. Default settings are put there by people that know what is going on for those of us that do not. I'm not joking.) Behold Your Glory, Your Android rom is installing in an EXT4 partition next to your WP7 partition. Oh!)
Now it will say it needs to reboot. when it powers off, hold down the power button till you see the magldr menu once more. select option 10 services, select bootsettings, select AD SD Dir. Change it to NATIVESD. This is where your Android OS is located on your sd card.
Back in main menu, select option 2. Boot AD SD. This will boot your Android Rom. After you boot into your android rom, power down, boot back into magldr, select option 1. Boot WPH and see if you still have WP7!
Once you get booted back in follow the set up screens, and this time enter in your Windows Live information:
What you will need:
a windows live account (login / password). just make it from the phone (easier) or go here: https://login.live.com
a wp7 activation code. call this number 1-800-MICROSOFT (1-800-642-7676) (taken from this web page): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431699
Make sure you can download and install apps from Marketplace in WP7 and from Google Play Store in Android! If that works, then you are all SET!!!
Now to switch back and forth between operating systems. Just power down. Hold down the power button when phone is off and boot back into Magldr. And just Choose option 1 boot wph for wp7 and option 2 boot ad sd for Android.
You are Finished!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh::good::good::good:
Here is information given to me by turyo on how to allow WP7 to access the fat32 partition!! Thanks turyo!
Install the PartitionGuru http://www.eassos.com/partitionguru/download.php
Right click the first partition(fat32 partition), select Modify Partition Parameters(F11), Change the System identifier to 07: HPFS, then apply and close PartitionGuru.

p.s. - this didn't work for me. did it work for you? what did work for you to get wp7 to read the fat32 party we made together? let us know in this thread, so we can all party!!
Nice job noobinius, well done.
I used this method and it worked beautifully thank you very much. Just wanted to post my confirmation so others know it is very easy and works great.

thanks, yes, i think its good people that follow this step by step post their results for others. also, i think it would be good to include which wp7 and android rom you chose.
also, thank you. took a lot of trial and error to finally come up with the exact set of steps. so i appreciate your comment.

I used pdaimatejam wp7 Rom and I used xylo's aokp jelly bean Rom with native sd install. It worked perfectly for me as I followed your steps to the T.
Sent from my HTC One X with Beats Audio using Tapatalk 2
didn't work for me . after i set all 3 partitions to primary wp7 stops working (says sdcard is damaged) so i tried it again without setting the wp7 partition too primary. wp7 works fine but android doesn't recognize my sd card ! ...
(using WP7.8 + tytung's cm9 ics)
edit : i tried it all over again using Minitool Partition Manager only . now it works
I use windows 7.5 and xylos AOKP Jelly Bean (Native SD) at the moment. I would like to update to windows 7.8, but keep the native SD. Is that even possible?
Or do I have to delete everything, and set up Android from the beginning?

when you speak of windows versions, i assume you are speaking only of window phone 7 and not windows 7, correct? look up the build numbers on the roms, i just used 8779 which may or may not be exactly what you are wondering about. don't ask questions before you follow the instructions here. it works for you too.. and if it doesn't work then let me know EXACTLY where it in the steps it stopped working. whether those steps be these or something else. xda-deviants love to find solutions. the more details you can give, the quicker you can meet your desired (fin).

Hi noobinius,
of course I mean Windows Phone 7 in the Versions 7.5 and 7.8, I thought I could spare me the "Phone"...
I'm sorry if my question didn't come along exactly. I already installed HD2O© v2.02 WP7 8779 by HD2Owner. Now I would like to upgrade to Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.8 without losing my NativeSD-Partition. So my question is, whether it is possible to change the windows phone installation without starting from Task29?!

This only works if your FAT32 partition is larger than your ext4 one.Edit; Or rather, if it is larger than the amount of stuff you have in your ext4 partition.
Backup to pc the fat32 partition and then create enough space on sd fat32 by deleting enough stuff to backup sd ext partition
use 4ext recovery sd "advanced backup sd ext" to backup to sd card.
A folder called clockworkmod is created with your ext4 files in it, save this to pc.
After installing wp7.8 and re-partitioning your card
Re-install "4ext recovery sd" to sd card (and format your sd-ext partition if needed(Do not format sd-ext2, this is your wp7.8))
put clockworkmod folder on sdcard
in recovery advanced menu use advanced restore sd ext
(delete clockworkmod folder to save space)
restore from pc your fat32 files
all done.
ok, this worked very well.
I installed pda 7.8 and nexusHD2.
But I'm facing one problem. My SD card is not detected by android. Its weird because the android booted from the same SD card so there's no way that the SD card is not mounted.
Any1 facing this problem? Or any help?
also.. thanks for this guide !!

All three need to be primary
oh... missed that line from the tut...
will go home and update the findings...
EDIT: It worked !!! thanks a lot !!
Out of curiosity, can someone explain me why setting windows 7 partition as primary made my fat32 partition detectable by SD??

At a guess I'd say that the sdcard needs to be seen as one single device, it's not the fat32 partition that is seen as sdcard but the whole card
(in partition terms mmcblk0 is taken as sdcard; with partitions being mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p2 etc.), and I think having both primary and logical partitions causes the mmcblk0 device to be unreadable / broken as a single device.
Does anyone know a good way to make the WP7 partition smaller (less than half of the card)?
This was possible using xbmod's partition CABs ... has anyone achieved it directly using partition software?

From http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815 , it seems that it is only this one-card-method that needs to have wp7 partition larger than android. Probably because wp7 is reset before being installed to the partition.
With two-card-method, wp7 is only switched off and the contents of smaller card are copied to larger one.
So with a careful choice of small card size you can have any size wp7 on larger card. Remember you can first partition your smaller card before copying to larger card, so it does not need to be the whole size of the smaller card.
Should work, any testers?
