Thats because windows is sad and misses Android. Make Windows happy, re-install Android.

sorry i thought it may have been an android thing cuz it happened affter i installed android i have now run task 29 twice and reflashed 2 diff roms chucky and energy same isue soon is i open anything on the phone that has to use the sd card it runs very slow and sometimes freezes like i was trying to use the sense picture gallery very slow loading pics and scrolling but my android runs crazy fast no problems there i have also reformated the sd card with no luck should the sd card be fat 32 im hardly ever in windows anymore but im selling the phone so i want both to work pleas help if you can i love xda and hope someone has an idea whats going on HERE -sev15

I have never had this issue and i tried all the builds out there, do u try to use windows right after flashing it and it was slow or after restoring a back up or installing some apps. Coz android really has nothing to do with windows and by far with nand yet. It's like saying i paint my car blue and now the car runs slow u see what i mean?

right affter a fresh install of windows its runing slow but its only when i try to use something that calls or has to load frow the sd card thats why im thinking fat 32 was the wrong format

Yeah, WM is glitchy as heck for me as well after running android. I just boot into android as quick as I can.

lol i got it i guess ever since android i never gave windows a chance to load info cuz i boot right into android all the time i let the phone just sit for 15 min in windows and its smooth now lmao guess im to android happy lmao

[Q] Android wont boot on SDHC card?

Hello all, first post here.
I just bought an HD2 from eBay and it's in immaculate condition. I checked the HSPL and it was 1.66 Cotulla. Along with the phone came a 2GB SD card, to which I put darkstones FroyoStone 2.2 with Sense; and it has been working perfectly with no issues (except battery lasts about 12 hours with average usage).
However I want to install and test other builds on my 8GB SDHC which I have lying around. I have formatted this many times to GUID/MacFS, ext3 and FAT32 over it's lifespan.
When I tried to boot Android on my Omnia i900, I had an error with the SD Card and it never loaded; now when I boot the same or different Android ROMs on the HD2, they never boot. Even the exact ROM I have working on a 2GB SD card that I am using as a daily is not working on this card.
Could anybody help me with this issue?

sounds like the sdcard may have died from all the formats/flash's...
do you have a partition manager program etc that can check the card its self? most linex based partition programs will tell you if you have dead blocks.
personaly if im takeing a card thats had all sorts of partitions thrown at it, i format it, wipe it, then do a 0 wipe, this usualy fix's it.

Can I do this using the OSX Disk Utility to 'Zero Out' all the data or should I boot into Ubuntu and somehow get gParted working?
Thanks

i have no experiance with osx, but yes, gparted will usualy do the trick.

disk utility worked, thanks for the help. saves me buying a new card

good to hear! its amazing how much faster things run on a clean card...
format people!

I have question that goes with this one....I am running core series V4.1 it has the andriod boot on the windows side and I used one andriod build in this mode , but when I try others it seems it does want to go? What could be the issue?

Seems I just booted up Evo Core series on my phone, WOW i may never back to windows

Runing darkstones superRAM Froyo build and its BLAZING FAST! People do tend to have issues with Kinston class 4 SD cards for some weird reason, so imma gonna buy myself a 8 gig class 2 noname card and post here if I have any issues...

[Q] When dual booting WP7 and Android..

The WP7 boots without a hitch, but when i go to boot android via magldr sd, it freezes up? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks XDA

are you using a rom that supports magldr?

great question, i havent flashed a custom rom yet, is this my issue?
Another note, when it boots to android there is activity for a split second in the tool bar and it says that the sd card is near full. i dont know if this means anything.

You dont flash the android rom, you copy it onto your sd card. Providing you have a MAGLDR SD android ROM it will install.
Have you setup your sd card to support dual boot?

I understand. Ive gone through numerous tutorials and have set up my sd card. when booting into wp7 i have 7 gigs and when i mount the sd in my laptop i have the other have remaining on my sd.
i suppose its the magldr sd android rom thats the issue
any insight here?
do i need to do this?

Yes, either that, or just use a compatible one, for example, i'm using markinux's super clean desire hd without sense blablabla x)
You could try that one out, i'm having no issues at all

ok good - sounds like you're nearly there. Make sure your Android partition is set as PRIMARY
- yes that link is where you need to look next - i never bothered with that though.
I searched the sd ROMS that supported MAGLDR. They usually had special instructions to make them work.
otherwise search thru that thread.
Zarathustrax has created quite a few pre-made MAGLDR boot files - search for his posts in that thread.

alright ill try that one
ive gone toe to toe with FEB 04 Copes
it boots to the starting htc screen and hangs there.

it took a good 10minutes of "HTC" hang time before it booted for me first time.
He's releasing a new version in a couple of hours which i'm going to try.

wasnt sure if my radio was the problem so im flashing the one you have in your sig
will report
thanks guys for your support

im running Copes too,
make sure on the fat32 side of your partition that its primary (like Canterbury said) and sometimes ive noticed its fussy in wanting a formatted clean card. yeah takes like 5 or 10 mins for the first boot. youll almost give up waiting lol i know i have plenty of times.

20 minutes in and still on the htc screen..

nakay take it out reformat the fat32 side and then download and try Cope's rom from the 30th of Jan. its the one im using at the moment cause it works with the most apps and games. (has terrible battery though).

if you interrupted the first install while it was trying to create the data.img it wont boot no matter how many times you try. If you think that might be the case - delete the data.img file on the sd and try again.

[Q] WP7 Factory resets every time i power down...

Hey guys!
Here are the events leading to the demise of my perfect dual-boot setup!
1. Installed MAGLDR, WP7 - worked great alone.
2. Setup dual-boot with Cyanogen 7 and worked great. Both are very fast.
3. Contacted Microsoft to get my live activation key. Put it in, now every time i power down my phone and come back into WP7, it is factory reset. Why wont it hold any settings? I have the phone partitioned right, and there are NO problems on the android side. I've searched and searched and can't even find something remotely close.
This might be due to my inability to phrase the scenario right for the search bar.

Maybe, you should just have WP7 alone and then activate it.
Then set-up dual boot. That might work.
Otherwise, you should read through the dual boot thread for any other people with the same problem.

:/ so much work to undo... I hope that isn't necessary.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

I hope it isn't either, but that's what I had done before changing SD cards and it worked fine

you had the same problem?

Well I just figured out that when I am in WP7, it isn't soft reset like i though - it just isn't recognizing my SD. Says I have 7 MB of memory. :O

Just redid all of the partitioning, reinstalled WP7, reinstalled Android... and STILL after I change the unallocated partition to Primary as directed, when I boot into WP7 it says I have 10mb of memory.

What happened to me
I am still not clear on what is happening to you but here is what I have found. I set up wp7 using my 8 gb card It worked flawlessly. I wanted to dual boot so....half of my 16 gb t-mobile provided sd card became my windows partition and half became a fat partition. excellent life was good. I got sd android and wp7 nand. However, one day from android i selected the reboot option to get back to wp7,,,mistake. I discovered that reboot jacks up the windows side of the card, must write to it during the reboot. lucky for me it was just a matter of recopying the 8gb cards content back to the 16 gb card to get back the data I had there. but a word to the wise, choose shut down not reboot from android on a dual booting wp7 setup.

What happens is things are fine, but android boots fine, but when I boot into WP7 it shows 10 mb of disk space.... not the 8gb i have it set as. Android, however, runs well and shows 8gb.

did you start with a smaller card when you installed wp7? I might be a little behind because I did the install in january but as far as i know you need 2 sd cards to dual boot. I had to use a smaller card to install wp7 then copy the contents to the blank space on the larger card.

I used partitions, not two SD. It is the same principle, though. The WP7 partition is smaller. I just redid everything, and so far it is working Where I think it was getting hung up was in the guide, I was supposed to set the unpartitioned space as Primary instead of Logical. This meant 2 Primaries on the SD.... I skipped this step so I have my Fat32 as Primary and Unpartitioned as Logical. Both WP7 and Android are running well and WP7 saves all settings.... so far.... lol. I'll definitely keep this thread updated. Thanks for the input guys.

I actually think I like the 2 sd card method a little better since it provides a backup if your sd card decides it doesnt love you any more.

Lol that is what a hard disk and back-up utilities are for ^^

you backed up the unallocated space on your sd card to your hard disk?

[Q] Last Try ! I'm sick and tired...

I've got a HD2 just to try wp7. After some careful reading manages to install, and it was booting and used the basic features for couple of hours without any issues, until i wanted to try out maps,,,, The HD2 got stuck and went to a boot loop.
After checking so much for the one and a half day (I'm so tired and sleepy) i'm sick of this phone. I ve seen many posts regarding this issue, but no one seem to post a clear answer that rectifies the issue. Yes i've tried task 29 and gone back to wm 6.5 as well. Anything else i'm missing here.
If i keep the battery off for about 10 mins or so then it boots up properly, but not all the time. I cannot use any most of the features, only texting and calling. If anything else is launched (IE, People, A/C config...) goes back to the boot loop. WTF
Pls guys help me. well i'm a complete nOOb for this and sorry for the long post.

I am by no means an expert here, but have you tried a different SD card? When I first flashed my HD2, when WP7 was first available for it, my SD card was incompatible and it was constantly rebooting. Some SD cards are incompatible with WP7, even the ones that originally shipped with the HD2.

I know how you feel... that's exactly what happened to me. OMCA1A's right, Try a new SD Card and you should be good to go.

Which method you use ? Zune or 1 shot install
Did you have wp7 on hd2 before trying to install This rom? Was the sd card working?
Did you unlock/ reformat sd card or install straight over?

as already mentioned it can be the SD card and is most likely the SD card in your case, how you install it, cabs or zune or whatever doesnt make the slightest difference, anyone using any card that is not certified to work with WP7 stands the risk of running in to the restart issue.
it might not happen today, it might not be next month or even year, but potentially the restart issue can rear its head when xx% of storage space free is hit
i say xx because it could be anything from 1 -100.
Peronally i find that dumping a few hundred meg of music on gets past these dodgy areas, like just now, if i remove 12MB of data from my device it will start restarting, i can replicate this, if i do a reflash i have to install at least 200MB of music before doing anything, 600MB on top of that i get more restarts so dumped another 200MB of music, installed navigon, restart issues, install 50MB of music all fine again, that its a pain in the arse but its workable, it just means i have a lot of music i will never listen too on my device

Sorry I seriously gave up on my HD2 and was using my sisters old LG phone (Sucked big time ) Yes OMAC1A I have tried 4 different SD cards, so I doubt it’s the SD card.
Moschino02 What do u mean by Zune or one shot install ? I installed the normal way here are the steps I did.
Did task29
Installed latest radio
Installed MAGLDR
Then the wp7 ROM bu running a DWI.exe
Well after I got tired I did install it over and over and over. Yes the cards were working fine on my x10i
dazza9075 The SD I used was empty.
Also guys like I mentioned I only cannot use any of the smart phone features, if I get in to maps or IE or any other task which consumes a lot of CPU, it happens.
I will try one more SD card cos u guys insist and if it doesn’t I’m seriously gonna sell it off for scrap if u want let me know it’s gonna be dirt cheap I can’t tolerate this anymore.
Also one more thing guys, i've tried android as well, a 2.2 desire ROM and a MIUI ROM. Some times it gets stuck on start up it self or on the initial setup. That to me doesn't sound like a SD card issue.
Also it overheats

You tried with Sandisk class 4\6 SD cards, right? Cuz those are the only ones that have a decent chance of working.

Overheating of the HD2 is a common problem, saw many of these phones being sold on ebay with that problem...

I have the same problem... Still trying to fix it... But I know the problem comes when the phone tries to access the SD card (sandisk).

So after you install wp7 rom by running dwi.exe ( you mean v2native rom, right?)
What did you do? Did zune find updates to mango? Or did you install mango by sending cabs? What version are you on?

Moschino02 - Yes it says,
Name: HTC HD7 T9292
OS Version: 7.0.7392.0
Also i have tried other ROM as well, did not have any luck. Even at this very moment it goes through a boot loop. Just tried accessing HTC hub and it went off.
After installing sometimes it reboots or i have to manually do it by removing the battery or a by a soft reset. Yes zune finds updates but i cant update. When the rebooting point comes it never reboots to the OS just goes to a boot loop. *@#^&%$
I have used the following,
Verbatim 2GB micro SD
Unbranded 8 GB Micro SDHC
Kingmax 2GB Micro SD
Sandisk 4GB Micro SD
and none of them worked.
jinge - I dont think so. Initially i thought the same. And i removed my SD card to see but the problems kept continuing.
IF its a SD card incompatibility issue the HD2 should work fine with android. It boots only up to the initial start up screen doesn't go beyond that. MIUI is the closest i got but that too gave problems.
I'm seriously sick of the hd2 guys and i hate it i wish i could show it to you'll.
This has to be a hardware fault. IS IT ????????
