Switch your sd card with sim card. Should fire right up.

I am wondering this,
The only ubuntu linux Iv found is haret based.
Put this on my SD card and it will not boot from magldr.
Upon researching iv found nothing except one interesting post Iv read in the original magldr thread stating that haret based android builds wont boot from SD with magldr.
Iv read that the reason for this is that they rely on windows mobile making the initial system calls.
I think we need some kind of zimage built for magldr.

Installing SD build to MAGLDR

Someone please help me out. I have tried this many times with different builds and got no success. I put the SD android folder on the root, then I do the rootfs and startup.txt crap(not sure if I'm doin it right), then I go to magldr, put the adsd directory, boot from SD, an it just stays on the boot screen. This happened with EVERY build, i don't know why. Some one please let me know how to get a SD build working on magldr. Maybe I did something wrong with rootfs....?

Well that is your problem then. You can only use SD Android builds with MAGLDR if you are running WP7. You can't use a SD build with MAGLDR if you are running Android from NAND.

Not true. I have Android on nand and an SD build booting from magldr. You just have to use a magldr-compatible build. The one in my sig listed AD SD works good. Little laggy, but its a DHD build so its to be expected.

I stand corrected then, I was under the understanding that you could not boot from SD card while running android from NAND. Thanks for the info and to the OP and anyone else that read my previous post I appologize for posting false information.

try to wait longer
i've waited longer than 15 minutes while trying to boot an sd card build
the first boot takes the longest.
what class is your sd card?

Yes you Can.
in Magldr go to #8 AD recovery & if you have CWM you ca install Android in NAND, after that just copy an SD ROM to you SD & each time you boot you can direct which one to boot from. try the link below it might help

In his sig. Essentially, you flash NAND Android, then copy over the SD build to your SD card (with MAGLDR files if they're not included in the ROM). Then in MAGLDR go to services>boot settings>AD SD Dir and select the folder with your SD ROM in it. Then just boot AD SD and violá

Getting rid of phone with android but keeping sd?

I'm looking to get rid of this phone with android on it, but keep my sd cars. I used the magldr and clockworkmod. Well I be able to take my sd out, factory reset(from magldr i assume) and give the person a working android hd2? Or would I need to put another sd card in and start over?

Just format it as FAT32, use something along the lines of Panasonic SD formatter

[Q] WP7 installation despite NativeSD?

Hi Guys,
currently I have a Miui NativeSD Rom. It means the whole Android Rom is running at my SD Card. My questions is....can I install this WP7 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833
with a another SD Card and my current not used NAND memory? I would change sometimes the Roms, between WP7 and Android but when I install WP7 I dont know whether crash my Native SD ROM?? Last question when I execute Task29, will be delete my current Nand ROM, but also Magldr??
Thanks!

hi, check out the links below it might help
& yes Task29 will wipe your NAND of any rom/ reccovery that's in there but leaves radio alone.

Ok if I understand aright, I follow the steps Task 29 / Install Magldr in the Boot Mode from HD2 Toolkit ( is a repartition to 300mb or 445mb recommend? Or can I skip the partition-step?)and then Clear SD MBR and uselast24Nand , execute this dwi from my WP7 Rom and installed WP7 on my NAND After this my Magldr is already there??! If yes I can change my SD Card so where I cand find my Native Files and boot from them??! ^^

OK , to do it. the nativesd roms wont be crashed. it only in ur sd card .

yes, that's what you should do. Card#1 for WP7 and Card#2 for SD or NativeSD.

but wp7 wont boot with the second card in slot. wp7 needs the first card(it formats and locks the card during installation)
