magldr recgonises sd cards ?

Hi,
I have a question which need some advise. I am currently dual booting wp7 and android sd build. I use magldr to select boot from sd whenever i wanna use android. Btw, I swap btw 2 sd cards, 8gb each , one for wp7 and one for android.
I happened to find a spare sd card 8gb class 4 and thought would like to replace the android sd card which is only class 2, in hope of faster speed. I copied all the files from old sd card to the new class 4 and tries to boot via magldr as usual. However, i encounter this error which says kernel sd fails and thus cant boot. I insert old card back and it boots as normal.
So my question is does magldr recognises the new sd card and thus do not allow me to boot with the new sd card? Anyone knows and can advise ? Thanks
Btw, using mdj hd4.6 w/ wp7. 2.25 radio and magldr 1.12. thanks !!!

[Q] MagLdr Android SD Card Problems

Hello guys.
I have a HTC HD2 running Windows Phone 7 (on MagLdr 1.2).
I want to DualBoot Android AND WPH. Ive watched a tut on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTHRAUHZHlo
I did exactly the same and after that i took this Android DesireHD Built: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881937
It worked fine but android said, that there isnt a sd card in the device. Of course it is, cuz android boots from the sd card. When i remove my sd card, android freezes (of course). I tried to restart and i put the 512 MB data.img in the folder but there was the same problem again..
I tried it with an other card and i pushed the button "mount sd card"
and than it said "u can take out the sd card now" (or something like that)
Plz help me!

I am having the exact same problem. Have you found the problem/solution to it.
thanks.

you both update you magldr that should fix your issues.
so get newest radio, than flsh magldr 1.3
before you update make a complete backup!!
hope you both have the right partition layout on sd card.
(first partition must be fat32 second ext3 or ext4)
hope this helps.
for tut look at forums or pm me!!

Can someone describe the exact steps that are required to mount the SD card when the Android build is being run off the SD card using MAGLDR.

They are running Android from their SD card. It is not going to show a SD card being in the device because Android thinks the SD card is the device......

This will not help them at all, MAGLDR just serves as the bootloader for Android not the OS.
Allso you can not remove your SD card will booted into Android if you are using a SD card build it is running of the SD card not NAND.

So basically I cannot mount the SD card, no matter how it is formatted ?

I totally have this same problem. Neither WP7 or Droid will read the 16 GB card I'm using to run Droid. I think I'm using the DesireHD build also, maybe its that? I can probably see if changing it makes a difference.

I have the same problem. First time i installed WP7 and android, everything was working fine. Then i had to reset WP7 because it kept freezing, i followed the same steps again to dual boot with android and it booted fine but SD CARD is not mounted for some reason. I have tried 3 different android builds with same problem. Any help or tutorials?

This happened to me too with two SD cards. What I did was I run the Partition SD Card from AD Recovery. I forgot the partition layout, just find something that works for you. I was surprised that it has successfully created a partition...this erased everything so I needed to re-copy ROM files to SD card via Card Reader on my PC.
When I did it over, It finally worked. Am now running Sensation XL ROM.

[Q] SD Card won't show up!

I had WP7 on my HD2, but I flashed the stock WM6.5 rom cause i got bored of WP7. But now on WM6.5 i cant see my SD Card. I read somewhere that your suppose to format your SD card after the flash. But it wont even show up on my phone. What should i do?

Format it using a microsd to SD card converter in your pc or use a camera

[Q] Android ICS Rom + SD Card

Hello all.

SD NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-SD_v1.3

I started to play around with the sdrom today but when i try to download app/take a photo.
No sdcard is found. Do i need to set up a ext3orext4 on the sd card?? Would the rom just find the ext3orext4 dir?? Whats the best method

You just need to have your SD card partitioned for WP7 and Android. Since the ROM is running off the SD card, I'd assume it should regconize it right away. Try a reboot if you haven't, or mounting SD card in settings if it shows it as being there, but not mounted [ I doubt it, but it's worth looking at].

Its strange, in storage under SD CARD it says 'insert an SD card for mounting'
WHEN, its got to be inserted, as the ROM is running on the SD Card partition. It shows over a 1GB of space in internal storage? Think i will try a fresh install of the Android ROM. WP7 is running fine.

Going to install a cwm partition which matches rom, i think this will fix the issue.

I don't know why you are getting issues with photos and stuff, but your SD ROM is running fine. Android SD cannot mount the SD card as Android is running off the SD card. The 1gb internal storage is the data.img file in the 'Android' folder which is read as your internal storage by Android. I wouldn't mess around with CWM, it won't solve anything for SD Android and may result in you deleting WP7 if I'm not mistaken (but if you already have CWM installed then I am very much mistaken)

Not sure if it helps, but did you set both WP7 and Fat32 partitions as "Primary" when you set up the card? (use minitool partition magic)

problem with new sd card.

hello everyone,
i bought a new 32 gb sd card for my phone, but my phone doesnt recognize it, although my pc does. i formatted it too fat32 and still no luck.
does the gt540 even recognize 32 gb sd cards? and if so how can i make my phone recognize my sd card? its not a hardware problem cause it does recognize my old 4 gb sd card.
i'm running cm 7.2 SDSL by miroslav with the .29 kernel.

never mind guys. it was formatted as read only. which ofcourse wont work. thread can be closed.
