Ok so.. I finally after months flashed my second rom
HAd some trouble, I have to admit..
DC~~
I had trouble and I did some wiping and messing with my SD chip and that was the only way I could functionally get a flash..
I just spent a day and a half setting my phone up to my liking and its become apparent apps2sd isn't working and my SD card only has one 1.5 partition out of 2 gb.
Sorry if there are posts with directions of how to work from this point to keep everything while enabling apps2sd and transfering
I dont know where to start searching.
Thanks guys.

get a app called dconfig, it has an option to move your apps so they're on the card.
other than that im not sure what youre asking.
it might be simpler just to flash your phone, format your card and start from scratch.

do some searching on here, goggle & ppcgeeks for how to root, flash a recovery image, partition your sd card and flash a rom. just make sure the guide you are using and the rom you use is for a cdma based hero.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=90380 heres good guide to get you started.
I'm rooted I might just need to flash the Rom with the SD card.formatted correctly... I'm going to try to re find where the apps are stored and save them... id love to just be able to correct my SD config and set up apps2sd and move em over so I can keep my home screen set up as well as the info supplied in my apps and todo lists..
Thanks for the info ... on the road right now (passenger.seat )
Maybe I'm not a newb, I'm just stupid... I rooted using ubuntu karmic and I had apps2sd working before I moved to damage control

hmm.. Damage control rom comes with Dconfig and it has apps2sd enabled and move apps to sd checked.
Ok heres the thing..
I had a Modaco rom before and with apps2sd enabled and the SD formatted properly.
Plugging my phone into a computer would open up 2 drives... One 1 designated to be 1.5 gb and another .5 gb
How ever now I only see one.. the 1.5 gb
My memory is running low as if everything i've installed is in the phone.
searching through the phone i can't seem to find where these apps are being saved...
Are they on the elusive .5 gb partition I can't seem to see??
i think not... I just rebooted and my available space is 63.74mb
It's all becoming a no brainer that i should reflash the rom with the correct specifications to the SD chip...
But what I want to know, is there a way around this. ( I don't see any options, but I'd love to reformat my SD correctly and get apps2sd working on my own, moving all my apps over there while keeping any stored data intact...) <--- is this possible??
[maybe i should learn how to communicate clearly LOL]
For the moment, Ill back up my SD contents and hunt down how to partition correctly.. then I'll see if I can't find the folders where it is storing downloaded apps... then I'll disable then enable the apps2sd setting in dconfig and download an app... if all goes well i'll start pushing my apps over and do the whol "fix apk uid" in the recovery menu...
Hell maybe ill even decide to get a newer recovery besides 1.2.3 while im at it hahah.. any suggestions would be appreciated

So... Why is my memory so low???
I'm about to take my SD chip out and see if I cannot access the contents of these folders without it in...
MY APPS2SD IS WORKING AND HAS BEEN WORKING
Sorry guys... somethings just up[or rather DOWN] with my memory and my SD card reads differently...

There's only one way to stop being a n00b: Learn.
You're doing fine. My suggestion is to not take it all on at once. Focus on one problem, fix it, learn from it and move on to the next one. You'll be a pro in no time.
I would guess that you need to repartition the SD card when moving from one ROM to the next, but I've never really played with apps2sd. See? You know more about it than I do!
download app: quick systems info
to see if your a2sd is working and how much is being used.
use the dconfig to make sure you have dalvik cached moved to sd... reboot the phone.
i am guessing at this....
you say you had a2sd working before with Madaco and could see 2 drives... that sounds wrong to me. if a2sd was working, then you should not see the 2nd drive. you are only able to see the main larger drive and that is it.. the others are used by android and not available to us.
now that you can not see the 2nd drive. sounds like a2sd is working. the app i suggested should confirm for you.
I did get everything working and my memory remains the same when I install applications.... perhaps I could see the second drive because I'm running Linux and/or the way I formatted the sd or the extension...

I think what you are describing is your SD-EXT partition (the a2sd partition you made). If you have a 2GB card and partitioned your card to be .5GB EXT, then it will appear your SD is 1.5GB. You get what I'm saying?
I used to be able to see 2 partitions as well. I think it was only with 1.5 ROMs.
If you want to mount both partitions then all you need to do is reboot into recovery and select the USB mount. Then both partitions will show up.
But you really don't need to mess with that second partition. Go to the market and download Titanium Backup. That will backup all your apps and settings. Restoring is a little annoying to do since you have to click for every app but if you buy the donate version then you don't have to do that.

I perfer Backup For Root Users... does the same thing but is free and is one-click one-shot deal.
1. BACK UP YOUR MEMORY CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER AS THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING!!==== THIS IS IMPORTANT
2. Reboot into recovery (Use Amon RA 2.3==NOTHING OTHER THEN AMON )
3. Select =Partition sdcard=
4. Select =Partition SD=
5. Set swap to 0 (you can leave this at 32mb, I did.)
6. Ext2-size = 2048 (2GB - the 3.0 packages eat up a lot of the internal memory, you can adjust this lower, but 2GB is recommended if you have a lot of apps I did 2 and a half)
7. Select upgrade ext2 to ext3 ===DO NOT UPGRADE EXT 3 TO EXT 4=====
8.. Now go back and mount your SD card
9.. Place all your files back on the card. Also add the ROM, PRI 1.77 downgrade is recommended you will have WAKE ISSUES IF YOU DON'T.
10. If you have to flash the PRI, do so now and reboot. If not, move on.
12. Wipe everything you normally would prior to flashing a new rom.
13. Flash Kingdom
14. First boot takes about 3 to 5 mintues to get started.
15. ENJOY THE ROM FOLKS
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST OTA RADIOS.
THIS IS FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WERE HAVING ISSUES WHEN THEY PARTITIONED THERE SD CARDS AND THERE PHONES COULDN'T BOOT THE ROM.
THOSE THAT HAD THE ISSUES MUST OF UPGRADED EXT 3 TO EXT 4 WHEN THEY PARTITIONED. IT'S NOT THE ROM IT WAS USER ERROR PEOPLE.
IF YOU DID UPGRADE EXT 3 TO EXT 4 YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BOOT THE ROM YOU GET STUCK AT THE BOOT SCREEN AND IT WILL HANG. ONLY WAY TO FIX THAT IS TO WIPE THE SD CARD AND RE PARTITION.
DO NOT BLAME THE DEVS FOR SOMETHING YOU DID WRONG. THANKS
THERE IS A GFX FIX THAT SMOOTHS THE ROM OUT. GET IT THEN AFTER THE ROM IS INSTALLED REBOOT TO RECOVERY AND WIPE CACHE AND DAVLIX CACHE FLASH AND YOUR ALL GOOD. I WILL POST THE ATTACHMENTS TONIGHT FOR YA.
IF YOU ARE ON THE NEWEST KINGDOMS SUCH AS 6/22 OR GREATER NO NEED FOR THE GFX FIX. HOPE YOU GUYS LOVE KINGDOM.
I am not liable if you brick your sd card I don't know anyone that has so have fun folks.
Hope this helps stop people from hammering virus and dogging the rom's.
It's funny how people on the kingdom thread ask for directions but never look in the general threads to flashing kingdom or browse the threads on there for the info. Kingdom works fine.

part of the issue is that as a noob to rooting and flashing we are overly excited and are full of questions. i love the kingdom roms and hate that i can not ask questions in the thread regarding any issues i may be having or even a simple question like how to properly flash it. ive attempted to use the search thread and still its confusing. so i appriciate it when i come across something like this that teaches us noobs how to do it. a little instruction goes along way. ive tried to navigate the xda site on my own and have actually learned more through thread such as this than i did going solo! anyway thanks for all the help hope to pay it forward someday

Happy you figured it out mayne. Thank you for reading. To many new folks were bad mouthing virus rom due to not reading things. Happy you got what you needed bro.
So I'm getting a new 32gb card and was wondering if I have to put everything from my old card on if I want to start fresh. I think the only thing I'd want move back is my latest nandroid backup.
Also do you still recommend to repeat step 7 three times?

I use the applications in the menu. When you check everything . Titanium doesn't read the same as the applications. I have 220 free ram left. Internal 210 left
You are partitioned you won't get a low mem message saying your outta ram.

It should of mounted go back to it and see if it is mounted. Then once it's mounted copy all your old stuff back to the SD wipe if you need to like you would prior to flashing a rom. Then have at it

I mount in recovery?
I upgraded ext2 to ext3, says it's complete, then I went down to "Mounts", then "Mount /sdcard"......did nothing but change to "Unmount /sdcard".
Nothing else has come up.
Am I suppose to just reboot after the "ext2 to ext3" is complete?
Just enabled "USB-MS" and my SD card came up.
I don't know if that's something I should have done a while ago, but it looks like it's transfering all my .zips and my Titanium Backups to the SD card.
Maybe add that option to the tutorial for dopes like me who didn't have the USB-MS function enabled!

Ya after u mount you enable usb from the main menu of amon copy ur stuff back over. Your good to start flashing just make sure you wipe like you normally would prior to flashing a rom.
Downgrade pri then flash rom and so on
I am a flash addict and I am sure most of you are. I can't stand a smooth running phone that works flawlessly. If it does, then I must do something to it to destroy it's stability. Well, it's not easy to brick HD2 unless you are a real dummy or like to live very dangerously lolll....even that can be fixed...but it was more difficult for me to find a way to unlock my SD card back to normal after WP7 installation. Some suggested in this forum that some of the cameras and nokia phones will do the trick...I was frustrated when I screwed up my 16GB sd card and could not find that camera or phone...as it won't make sense to buy them to restore a $15 card.....so I gave up on that card until today....I decided to play with WP mango again with the same sd card...resulted in locking it again...my challenge was to succeed unlocking it this time.....followed the same old procedures with no success...I tried and exhausted all options again!!! Then I decided to pop my sd card on my second hd2 which is running android with 4ext recovery installed and try to format it or something....and it worked!!!!! Just repartitioned the card and reformatted and it automatically unlocked it during the process....No step by step by step by step installation of software or reading pages or running codes.....nothing else was needed!
Life is meant to be simple after all
Anyone who is having the same issue with sd card after Windows Phone 7 or 7.5 installation just repartition and reformat your card via 4ext recovery and it will work...nothing else needed :} Good Luck!
All credits to 4ext recovery developer....and the developer must be proud to find this info.
Here is Step by Step process-
If you are running Android NAND and have 4ext recovery installed....then
1. Turn off your device
2. Take out the SD card(if there is any in it) and insert the one you want to unlock/fix
3. Turn on your device HOLD red power button until you get to aMAGLDR v1.13 menu
4. Go to option 8. AD Recovery hit green button for it load
5. Now you should have 4ext recovery(mine is version 2.2.7) menu
6. Scroll down to Advanced
7. Choose> Partition SD Card
8. Choose whatever size you want to first one, second one to be and the rest goes to fat. If you want all in one partition, just choose '0' for the first two and '0' as swap.
9. Follow on screen instruction you may see.....and it will delete all previous partition and create new one
8. NOW go back to main 4ext recovery menu....and format you SD card...AND there it it! Your SD card it back to normal...enjoy
NOTE: I use 4ext recovery that you flash via usb flasher thru magldr NOT the one from market. You can find the flashable one in here. I will try to find the link and post it. BUT it is not and will not be my work!
Here is a link I found....but this NOT what I used. I used this recovery that I found in one ROM link I have tried in the past which I can't think of but I have been using the same recovery since then because it is the BEST with the option of EXT4 file system....the one I have you can directly flash it like any other recovery you normally would to partition NAND to flash NAND Android roms. Nand partition size has nothing to do with sd recovery steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297587
Since I did not use the above option....I won't be much of help. But from my understanding you can use this option to update your current recovery to 4ext recovery and then follow my steps. The app from the market would require to update your current recovery as well to be able to use my method to restore your SD card after WP7 installation Good Luck! Although it is a very simple process to undertake, I am not responsible if you damage your phone or the sd card even more!!!
If someone who has the usb flashable version of 4ext recovery(for HD2) could attach it or provide link that would be great for everyone. Mine is installed in the phone and I don't seem to have that file....too many files I download everyday and must delete them all at some point
If you've found a solution to a problem...please go ahead and include a link or something so people can find the tool you used without having to spend time searching through threads and forums, instead of just writing that you found a solution.
please provide more detail. I downloaded free app from Android "Play Store" market but cannot see where to partition card.
Please provide more detail. i.e. is it free or paid version.
which menu to use etc

I did not install that way(read post) but I think you have to update your recovery to 4ext after you install that app. And after that you can easily try my steps. It will work

Ok thanks for all your efforts.
It seems to m that you can install 4ext from "android market", load it then choose the first menu option "Online install..." and download the additional 4ext recovery file from there.
But I'm still having problems getting it to load at boot up
Update: No joy. I have Clockworkmod recovery on mine. Installed 4ext but overwrote boot stuff and would not load 4ex. So I need help how to replace Clockworkmod with 4ext or whatever I need to do (I have more expertise in WP7 than Android)
For the HD2 the 4EXT Recovery was originally ported by Dansta34 and i have also seen a variant on Coredroid which looks like it's the same. The Sensation 4EXT from Madmaxx will not work on the HD2.
The HD2 4EXT Recovery can be taken from either Dan's thread (TBD ROM) or from Coredroid, whereas i recommend taking it from Dan as he also took the workload of porting it to the HD2 as far as i know. So he should deserve the Download stats and the credits
I've also got it mirrored in my Signature. Feel free to take it from there. I've got both the CoreDroid and the TBD variant, yet the only difference i can see is the background image. Not sure though.
Once you downloaded that Recovery you can put your HD2 into USB Flasher Mode in Magloader and then flash the Recovery via the included DAF.exe, then proceed with the Steps the OP recommends. Notice: if you flash it for the sole purpose of unlocking your SD-Card, setting the partition sizes in flash.cfg is irrelevant. Just leave them as they are since the Recovery and the partitions will be deleted and set up different from the WP7 flash afterwards.
Since the Threadstarter has contacted me for a link to the files (?? Why is that) i'd like to point out that this Recovery is not a hidden gem but a normal Download for at least two Android ROM's and can be taken in exchange for a THANKS.
I recommened NYSEAN1 to reproduce and verify his findings, as i find it rather strange that noone else has noticed this "function" of the Recovery before. There is quite a large number of people who mess with both android and wp7 and noone has ever noticed that the HD2 can, by means of the 4EXT Recovery, unlock DRM encrypted SD-Cards? Very odd.
Well, if it does actually work, the better it is for us. So, we have to say THANKS to NYSEAN1 for finding out this wonderful trick that saves us from finding an old Nokia phone.
I'd still recommend to post this Info on the SD-Card unlocking threads as this seems the most independent and hassle-free solution to me. But please only after this procedure has been verified by more than just one person to be working as expected.
Thanks
Thank you very much.
I have sloved it.

I used TMobile version....but it doesn't matter anyway..nand partition or size does not really have anything to do with it...any size is fine...just pick any 4ext recovery and flash it through usb flasher...all we are looking for is the 4ext recovery menu to re-partition and format the card.
Please report back it worked for you...very eager to know

Sorry, but it's not that simple. I have had to start all over and rebuild the O/S as loading the wrong 4ext on messed it up - would no boot past "go go go". Hence we need to know precisely which 4ext to load.
Whilst your instructions are great and will be/are a big help, we must calrify this to ensure the project is a success for others.
So one last vital piece of information needed, if you can help clarify.
Many thanks for your help
BTW. Are we talking about a completely bricked SD-Card or one that just need some fixing. i.e. has a small fat partition?

If you flash any recovery your WP7 will be gone. No matter what partition size you set. Sorry. That's exactly why it doesn't matter which 4EXT you take.
Regarding your second question: I was suspecting that Nysean1 only fixed a card with a small FAT partition. But he recons that he also fixed the DRM encrypted card from e.g. a Yuki or xboxmod ROM.

Yes I realize that things will be wiped. But I grabbed 4EXT from the Market which jammed at GoGoGo. So best we warn folk about that.
I downloaded and installed EXT4_CoreDroid_10_180_10 from your site thanks very much - seems all OK. Have Android NAND back running again
I have now tried it on a fully bricked SD Card, but no luck at all for me. Tried about 10 times will different options. So it seems it is not an unlock for a fully bricked card (unless I've done something wrong - you say any of the Ext4 from your site should work the same)
Tried it on a card with a small FAT partition, and that's worked, but I can do that using partition program on my PC, so no added value from my perspective
(unless Nysean1 can throw some more light on this)

Sorry it did not work for you. I am not hundred percent sure what kinda lock my card had. I wanted to run WP7 and android...so I installed WP7....did not quite partition the card for android as per the instructions.....this is the second time I failed to do that....WP7 without the option of android sd is lame....anyways therefore I wanted my card back...could not format it in anyways...via my camera...was not even recognized by my computer and mini tool....send usb unlock code....all failed for me....this happened to my last card also...i was never able to revive it...and did not work out any method I could find in xda and outside....but this time and with this diff. card 4ext was able to partition and format it back to normal. I can't even find that one anymore to try my new finding as I am aslo skeptic to try and take another chance with my current card as I use it everday....that I know for sure had Yuki rom installed when it first came out ...I am still searching for that card...and if I do find it I will certainly give feed back.
However....those who have installed ext4 will certainly appreciate it...since it is (I think) the best recovery you can have for you android...only thing is that some roms don't support ext4...so be aware of that.
Thanks for your explanation NYSEAN1
Thus your title/heading is fully correct - to unlock from Yuki rom.
I guess I got excited thinking that meant unlock a "bricked" SD card, which has been bricked through an error installing a WP7 rom such as Yuki rom. The two issues are different. However, you have not claimed the later case, but the first, and that is fair enough.
I have always hoped that an Android system might resurrect a fully bricked card- I still hope, but not their yet.
Thanks again
Edit 1: BTW thanks for putting me on to ext4. I do like it!!!
Edit 2:
Seems like the only way for a bricked card is for a Nokia device (or similar), which I don't have. See

If you couldn't reset the card by sending unlock cab, it simply means you did not suffer from the WP7 DRM encryption. That means your method is up until now nothing more than a faint hope. Someone has to really verify.
My theory:
It is from my perspective and experience much more likely that the file system, boot record or both had been damaged in a random way. since every partitioning tool pursues a different way of doing it's job, some might fail at your particular issue and some might get the job done. This time, it worked out for you with the 4EXT while all others failed.
Tools to try before giving up:
- windows format
- SD formatter from SD-association
- mini Tool
- EASEUS Partition Master
- Acronis
- 4EXT
To overcome the WP7 DRM encryption you would need a tool that forcefully ignores some SD-specific parameters and commands, which where originally invented to lock down these cards. As with all these systems, they only work if both content provider and content reader agree to stick you the specifications. If one doesn't, the encryption doesn't work. So far, only a certain edition of Nokias symbian does ignore the encryption command. BUT: I was hoping that also the 4EXT would maybe ignore it...

Cotulla has indicated that the next version of MAGDLR for LEO will include the ability to unlock SD cards that have been locked by WP7.
Thanks a lot mt8 had a 8 gb card and when i installed android on nand the card was preety much dead 0 Kb space and formated using various formating tools but no luck and saw this thread and gave it a shot and i have my card with 8 gb in it. i am using cwm 3.0
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
Hey guys. I have a problem with my HD2 Device. My first android rom was NexusHD2 Beta1 like 4 months ago. It worked and i had no problems but i decided to install Miui instead of ICS. The Miui rom was really fast and smooth and didnt crash. Now i wanted to get back to ICS with HWA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860).
I did a clean installation but the rom crashes randomly like within 2 minutes. I have no clue why it crashes i will tell you know how i installed it and maybe i forgot something and you can tell me what i did wrong.
I used HD2 Nand Toolkit and used Task29 at first. Then i installed MAGLDR and recovery with 200mb and 5mb cache. Then i opened CWM and installed the Rom. After that i installed Darktremor A2SD like it is said in this FAQ:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik..._CM9_FAQ#How_shall_I_install_these_scripts.3F
I hope my english is not too bad and you can help me to figure out why my phone crashes .
I took a look at the ROM and the Apps2SD in the XDA Wiki. Are you sure you followed all the directions in the installation instructions of the ROM. You may need to delete the Android folder from your SD card as it does say the following in the ROM thread OP.

Also in the Wiki it says you have to format your SD card. So you may need to format your SD card also.
Yeah could be a problem but i even tried it without A2SD and it still crashed :s
btw thank you for your response!

If it still crashes without the Apps2SD then delete the Adroid folder from your SD card. I went back and edited my first post a little so you may have misssed me mentioning that.
Oh god it seemes that it works now! Its - like everytime - that simple but you Sir are my hero! :'D im really thankful ..

Whichever ROM you're using is extremely old, so it may have even been a known issue of that ROM (although I highly doubt that) but we need more information as Kamerius said. For the mobile network issue, have you checked that the APN settings are correct?
thanks for reply but...
Thanks to all who replied but as I am new I tell you how I proceeded
I installed active sync in my PC then I flash my HTC hd2 with HSPL4
Then I flash radio 2.15.50.14
Then magldr 113
Then android 2.3.2 all by DFT
Problems that I am facing are
When I insert SD card (on top of the phone)-message. Comes SD card safe to remove and when I try to mountt same message appear, and some times it says SD card is busy. But I tried new sd card and same problem appears
Second problem mobile is not sync up with PC.
Thanks please. Help

Well, can you link me to that ROM please? I wasn't aware that there were any ROMs by DFT outside of the Stock Desire one, so I'd like to see it (although it isn't necessary of course).
You're using an extremely old and outdated method of flashing anyway, everything nowadays is flashed via CWM. See this guide and start by using the wipe data thing in MAGLDR, then just skip to flashing CWM with the correct partition sizes etc. It might not necessarily solve your issue, but you might as well do it nonetheless.
Are you trying to insert the SD card after the phone has booted? Just leave it in the phone and turn it on, I don't see any reason it shouldn't work other than if it was a known bug of the ROM or if your SD card is the one with the issues.
I'm confused about your second issue. The OP says that your data connection isn't working (data being mobile network) but the second post says that it's the USB connection to the PC that isn't working? Which one is it? Or are both of them not working?

My suggestion - flash HSPL 2.08 - from what I heard it's much less buggy and I haven't heard anyone having issues with that.
one thing more

That's fine, it just means it's an EU/International HD2 rather than a TMOUS. The only difference (spec-wise) is that it has 512Mb ROM rather than 1024Mb

HSPL4 means the package which is used to flash HSPL2.08, it's not a SPL version in itself. The highest SPL/HSPL version is 3.03.

Please, just read the guide I posted. Every single version of Android which is in the NAND Development section is 'fully compatible' with the HD2. If you don't do some more reading I refuse to help you, sorry.

There is no 'best ROM', it's all a matter of opinion. I prefer ICS ROMs such as NexusHD2 and IceCreamTosti because of the HWA capabilities, but you may not like them. It varies between each user. If you decide to flash one of these, you can create an EXT partition on your SD card and use the app Link2SD from the Play store to use that partition.

Did you follow the guide I linked fully? Including step number 2 - partition your storage card for a2sd ROMs? If so, then this is an EXT partition which you have created on your SD card with CWM. If you meant repartitioning the NAND with CWM (i.e. in your case flashing a 150Mb partition) then this is NOT on the SD card and isn't an SD EXT. However, since you have stated that the app App2sd works fine, I think you've done everything correctly. Congrats, you now have a fully functional Android HD2.
The ROM you chose (TyphooN) is a very good one, I used it myself as my standard ROM for the whole of 2011 and a bit of 2012 and it was absolutely great, but right now I personally feel that ICS ROMs are better. ICS is simply the latest version of Android (GB is Android 2.3, ICS is Android 4.0) and it's the best version of Android by far. As well as this, ICS ROMs have full Hardware acceleration. This basically means that games and videos will play a LOT faster on ICS than on GB.
