Hi
I have searched around the forum without any luck on how to remove the windows phone 7 from my uncle's HD2. How can reflash it to the stock rom, which windows 6.5 because activating 7 on the phone is a bit hard and i m not really getting how to do. So I'll just get it back to stock rom and wait for some thing more stable and easier.
Please help me, my uncle's contacts are on this phone, and he cant get it back to normal.
if u didnt backup the phone contacts i guess they are gone because after a flash everything gets lost...u can flash back the stock winmo rom...hold volume down button and start the phone wait till u see the three colored screen...plug in pc till u see usb writing instead of serial...then start flash stock rom from pc...but nothing from ur data will be there anymore...so if u still have the contacts on phone make a backup before u flash
Man. You have two ways.. even to flash nand android or returning back to wm6.5 to return to wm 6.5 u first turn off ur fone, press volume down and power botton to go to the multi color screen .. and then flash ur favorate wm 6.5 rom.. and sorry to tell u that the contacts are alreqdy rlearased if they were on wm 6,5 ..
You can reflash Windows Mobile 6.5 by holding down the volume- button as you power on the phone. Then just flash a stock ROM through the bootloader like normal.
As for his contacts being on the phone, if they were in Windows Phone 7 you can back them up using a Gmail account, and if they were on Windows Mobile 6.5, then I'm sad to say that they have been erased.
htc hd2 does not show sd card
Thanks guys i have revereted back to win 6.5 on my htc hd2 but i have problem with sd card my phone dose not show any card is installed
You have to format the SD card.
I don't know if you can do it in WinMo (probably you can)
Otherwise you'll have to do it on your pc.

I formatted the SD card back to FAT32 in a digital camera.
You can-
You can format the SD card on Win Mo 6.5
Go to tools/format SD card.
Format it to whatever you need.
depends whether Wm6.5 can recognize this "formatted" partition created by WM7
if unable to, you probably need some tools or software
or use a digital camera or for me, SD card reader etc

You can use Android. It works!
Go online and google "free partition manager".
Or look around the various threads, theres links to partition and formatting software in the wp7 threads because of this exact reason...
Cheers...
To get your micro sd card formatted back to its original size just use the tool on *THIS* website and when formatting go into the options and change FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT to 'ON' so it detects the hidden partition.

To format SD cards
Normally i just flash clock work mod recovery, and do a format from there, its pretty easy and i can set up my SD card for Ext2 while at it
hi, I assume when we flash stock rom during bootloader "usb" after we installed wp7, things like hspl, magldr , radio will be removed as well.
is there anyway that we can keep wp7 , and leave android sd build in another sd card ? So when we want to build android, we simply just swap the wp7 sd card with the android build sd card. is there anything we need to do to achieve this ?

If you flash a stock WM6.5 rom via bootloader usb mode then the only thing that is lost is Magldr and your previous rom. HardSPL and your Radio can only be overwritten by flashing a stock WM6.5 rom via microsd card method.
When you are using WP7 you CAN NOT hotswap microsd cards or your new card and the previous card you took out will not be recognized by WP7 anymore. I have seen some posts of people saying you can load Android via sd card while using WP7 but I have not done this and cannot verify its validity.

More trouble...
I went back to 6.5 ...And my phone reports only 180 Mb of memory instead 512 !!! I tried task29, flashing Stock rom, Custom roms, everything... And it still not going over 200MB of total memory, I can feel the phone lagging!
So, f this SD-card formatting issue, what about the more serious problem of downsizing HD2's memory in half after WP7!!!
Anyone, please HEEEELP!!!

Is that internal memory, storage memory? What is it giving for total, used and free?
Can you take a screenshot and post it?
If your phone only registered a total of 180Mb then its very doubtful that the stock rom would have flashed so im sure the memory is still there.. A screenshot of your memory screen would be very useful.

i see. thanks for ur advice. just curious , when we install our wp7, is our wm6.5 still in phone ? cos my energy start up screen is still there . or did i missed one step in front to do a task 29 ?
if i want to go back to my sd android and wm6.5, the step is just flash a wm6.5 (ex: energy rom) rom over right ? or i have to do a task 29 first ?

mskip, here is what WM 6.5 reports after I:
- removed the SD card (formatted by WP7, did use the sdformatter tool to revert back to fat32, thank for that tip which you posted on some other thread
- went into bootloader
- did the task29
- flashed the 3.14 stock rom (comes with .51 radio)
DEVICE:
Total storage : 180.98 MB
Used storage: 53.71 MB
Free storage: 127.27
Total program: 336.93 MB
Used program: 136.41 MB
Free program 200.53 MB
I tried some other ROMs, like CleanEx Core V12 which report more memory, but not as nearly as they should (its a 576 mb rom and I flashed a 50.14 radio before the ROM) and it looks like this:
DEVICE:
Total storage: 283.95 MB
Used storage: 16.36 MB ?!??!
Free storage: 267.58 MB
Total program: 474.00 MB
Used program 275.59 MB
Free program 198.24
Am I right in assuming that if I go back to 6.5, all I need to do to go back to windows phone 7 is re install without the sd card inserted then pop the card in and all my live services will be back as before and saved data.
Sound about right to me
Obviously you would have to change the device name back to HD7 but thats it right???
Anyone can confirm this?

Nope. I believe installing windows phone 7 formats the sd card on the first boot. So everything will be erased.
yea but if you run the first boot without the sd card in, do the registry tweak and then insert your memory card with the windows 7 partition already on then that should work right???
For example - If i remove my SD card then boot into windows 7, i get a vanilla setup with no settings - no apps nothing installed.
If i then restart and put my sd card back in all my settings are back including activation code i can log back into market the lot.
Whats stoping me going back to 6.5 for a bit then flashing the vanilla winmo7 rom when i want to use it??

If your sd card is not seen buy magldr ir wp7 then I suggest you try and get hold of a cheap SanDisk class 2 card I'm using a 2gb card at the mo and they cost buttons the steps you have described are correct
I there a way to speed up the booting up of the Android SD 2.3.2? Maybe by using a different radio or something?

You could get the latest rom here: http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1043&news_id=782 or for T-Mobile here: http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ and select the HTC HD2. Also you can dual boot your device by download and installing the application in the following thread to your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623792. Hope this helps.
Should you ever update software of you windows mobile 7 from zune? Just Curious.
Help Here with previous question.
Also,after activating my windows phone 7 my android disappeared from my SD card.
Also does switching OS from wp7 to android (using dual boot from SD here) after reboot clear the wp7 setting?
probably you got the partitions messed up, recheck the partitioning of your SD card.
don't have WP7 myself so can't help you more than that, sorry.

If you put WP7 on your HD2, then your SD card will be formatted so that's why android disappeared from your SD card. Also settings will not be cleared as long as all files are in there correct directory.

I used the dual booting method everything went well except that when I partitioned the SD card for windows and android the wp7 'about' menu still said it had the total (all) space for itself. Ignoring that I was still able to load the android and install some apps on it. Could activating the wp7 with an activation code be the culprit?

You could try that. Also, you could try a new SD card if anything goes wrong because if it still says it has all the space for itself, then it may overwrite the android files without even asking and corrupting them.
So I went through the process of making my hd2 dual boot wp7 and android cm7 again they both worked at first flawlessly, but it seems that maybe syncing my phone with zune was the problem(not entirely sure). Also I still don't get why my wp7 displays that it has the same amount of space with my total SD card (8GB) space after syncing and before it has only about 15MB total and 10MB used

I remember seeing this about some wp7 builds for the HD2. Its a bug causing it to misread your sd card's space at times. If you want to fix it, I could only recommend a new build until a "fix" may come out for it. Anyways, congrats on your installation.
Hello everyone, I've recently installed Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki] with kingston 8gb class 4. Everything was fine until i pressed 'reset ypur phone'. The phone started crashing on htc logo , so I decided to go back to wm 6.5. The problem is my sd card is no longer recognisable by anything. I tried SD formatter, hard disk low level format tool, killdisk, mitool partition, but with no luck

Or
Youtube type in search(video from 96edwy)......> htc hd2 how to format your sd card after wp7 use
thaks for the help, but both methods are not working, i've installed storage lock, but my sd card is no longer recognised by the phone itself. when i go to mass store, my pc is not finding anything either.
i have the exact same problem i also tried with the cab sender but had no luck if someone could please help us i actualy lost 2 8Gb sd cards
I had to get a new sd card for similar case.

all the solutions they gave in the forum didnt work for me, only this worked:
be carefull never do a reset from the about menu cuz this was the reason all my cards got locked <- im on this now for over a week, so believe me i tried everything, but its never useless to try it yourself because in my opinion you cant talk about a general state of cards or wp7 installation.
Reflash everything with your card inside your mobile, i mean start with windows 6.5 then the radio then magldr and then the native rom from yuki,
as it boots up wp7 you should get stuck on the htc screen because your sd is broken, now empty the sd bevor the phone has booted, and enter it in your sd reader, windows should now detect the card.
this only worked for one of my cards. and no its not depending on the brand because i have 2 sandisks and with the 8 gb it worked... with the 2gb it didnt...
but i still couldnt manage it to get to mango.

I had troubles to install WP also, I just tried again today, and I have it now!
I installed it from cabs, following more or less this:
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/09/16/how-to-install-windows-phone-7-5-mango-7720-on-htc-hd2-video/
I downloaded 7004-7392 and 7392-7720.
I installed in 3 update steps:
1st I installed the ROM,
then 1st update 7004-7392
then I installed all cabs to get to 7661
then I installed all to 7720
Had some troubles, but by keeping trying, I got it
Now I have my red mango!
Even if it is still bugging because of my sd card... Now It freezes 1 second after being loaded.

Had that same issue, just hard reset on magldr (power on, vol up and volume up again) and problem solved.
at the stage of 7.392 to 7403 it gets stuck with me cause of the sd card it wont update and then it gets into a boot loop, its definatly the boot when i need the sd to update, the boot kills my sd and it wont recognize the updates, any trick how to get over that boot which kills the card? any way to get the updates to the card without doing that reboot on wp7
I don't have a solution to the SD unlock, BUT I can tell you that people SAY that if you put the SD in a Nokia device and format it, it will be usable again. I gave myself a serious scare as I thought I had destroyed 2 SD cards, when not even WP7 recognized them, but I found out that if you do a Task 29, install radio 2.15, MAGLDR 1.13, enable 24mb nand and clear SD MBR, then install the ROM again, the phone can read the SD once more, thus meaning it is NOT DESTROYED and salvageable. Hope this was somewhat helpful to anyone else that thought like me he had destroyed his SD!
VERY IMPORTANT: WP7 stops recognizing the cards if you take them OUT of the device, so if you want to save yourself an hour of reflashing DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES pull your SD out. Otherwise you will need to reflash if you want the phone to see the SD again.
EDIT: Read my next post for the solution! Hope this helps
How to format a WP7 secured card
Hey guys,
I have flashed WP7 from initial builds to NODO to Mango so many times that I have lost count...
With NODO I have had success in formatting the card with my Nikon D90.
Cards started to be locked in Mango. The only solution is to format the card with a Nokia C6 or any Nokia with Symbian v8 or above.
I have tried every tool and every tool is dependent on the OS for initial recognition, and OS (Window 7) simply refuses to recognize the "wp7 secured" card.
I managed to salvage my SD card using a SD-adapter and the built-in SD card reader of my netbook... (Android, CWM, and 5 USB card readers didn't work) windows recognized the card as a 200MB card at first (?..)
used SD formatter to restore the original size to 4GB

Oh rly
Because I manaed to reformat my SD WITHOUT ANY CAMERAS OR NOKIAS
All you have to do is use the DEV_UNLOCKSTORAGE.cab and that will unlock your SD which can then be read by your PC and reformatted with SD Formatter 3.0!

I think I realised your problem and I'm sorry. I had missed the part where he says the PHONE can't recognize the card either.
Same thing happened to me, but I just:
1.Ran task29
2.Installed 2.15 Radio
3.Installed magldr 1.13
4.Went into services (WITH MY SD CARD IN MY PHONE) and I picked Clear SD MBR (i don't know if that really helps, but just in case it does)
5.Enabled extra 24mb nand and I flashed the ROM
6.Then I updated to 7720
7.I installed DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab and unlocked my SD, i turned off my phone, I took my SD out and My computer could now read and Format it.
I am truly sorry if this is another "stupid" solution.

So you installed WP7 that locks the card all the way to Mango, installed the DEV_STORAGELOCK to unlock it with a .cab in order to be formatted on your PC? Sure thing, stick with that method, it works...

Are you sarcastic? I mean really are you. Cause I SWEAR it works. The card may be locked, but builds 7004, 7392 can still see it just as well as 7720, but I think you need to be on 7720 in order to use DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab!

Hi,
After a long history with successful 6.5 updates I thought I'd try WM 7!
I've read the storage card posts and tried a hard reset both with my card and without but always get to the same Storage Card not working error.
I don't have a Nokia to reformat my card but have tried reformatting on the PC.
There is a bit I haven't been able to follow using magdlr 'services' option - how do i stop WM7 from booting and get back to the magdlr menus?
Some advice for a noobie please - don't want to brick my phone but not that fond of the Storage Card Not Working screen either!

I'm sorry to hear about your issues. The micro SD card you've fit in your phone is too slow to cope with the constant read/write imposed by the OS.
The card you've used is unusable unless you unlock it by sending the unlocker cab to your device, unlock it, then format it on your computer. You could also format it on a symbian, nokia device.
Unless you mention the specific part number of your micro DS and brand, I can't help you further, with regards to compatibility, however, some models are proven to work flawlessly on WP7 powered HD2. ( such as sandisk 32 GB)
Make sure to further research, and hopefully you get this sorted out
only old Yuki (Back to the future) ROM lock cards...
all new ROM's not lock cards and unlocking or formatting with nokia device not necessary
if card not working: simple, not supported.. you must buy new card...
you cant brick phone... just read my install tutorial from signature if you something dont know...
Thanks for advice.
For benefit of others the symptoms I had were down to initial install. I needed to use Magldr to free up last 24 of nand memory and then reflash. Now all working.
As ever none of the stickies quite cover everything, but your help and another google session saved the day.
Thanks to the developers! WP7 giving my phone an all new feel.
