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.

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.

Hi,
Interested to see if this is possible, Simply because MAGDLR 1.12 has the SD Android boot option BUT NAND flashing of WP7 rom does something ? to the SD card, pretty much leaving the SD card useless unless formatted back to Winmo/Android, BUT the second catch is, if the card is formatted back AFTER WP7 flash, WP7 on HD2, then WP7 doesn't work properly ... A catch 22. Anyway around this, or maybe something I'm missing ?
Working
I got both of them dual booting and working great so far...
1) Do an AD hard reset from MAGLDR boot menu
2) Flash windows nand rom (dont boot)
3)Boot into MAGLDR and connect as USB mass storage
4)Format SD card
5)Put an SD android build onto sd card
6)Go into services, bootsettings, set sd dir to android folder
7)I personally set it to show menu on boot so I could choose which one to boot
7)Reboot in MAGLDR and choose boot ad sd
8) Setup android
9) Reboot and choose WPH
10) setup WP7
Good LUCK!
What about using the SD card still? How much storage do you have when you boot into Android?
EDIT: I tried but when it boots into Android, the whole build is frozen

Correct me if I am wrong, but this leaves only internal storage for WP7. I have a telstra t9193 with 512 or so mb internal. Once it is synced with my exchange and emails, I can't even load a song from zune on my hd2 as there is no space left.
Guess the tmobile hd2 has more space left for apps etc.
I am trying to find a way to resize the wp7 sd card partition but this does not seem easy.
I need a dual partition for my sd card. One for wp7 and one for Android. Unfortunately wp7 seems to take all the sd card except for 200 mb which is too small for an android build.
If anyone has a solution, I would appreciate.
Thanks
It doesn't work. He's just lying.
I attempted those steps and and soon as you setup WP7, the Android folder is all gone.
You have 200mb space which isn't space for a proper Android build. Maybe if we find a hack to increase this size to at least 1 gig then we should be able to do it.

That's what I got too. I even tried putting separate partitions on the sd card (ie. linux swap) to try to fool wp7 into deleting only the fat 32 one but it also did not work.
I have resulted to using 2 sd cards, one for wp7 and one for android. I have to make a holster for them so that I may swap them at will
EDIT: THE CURRENT SD ANDROID BUILDS DO NOT YET WORK WITH WP7 ON NAND - THEY LOAD BUT FREEZE AFTER THE LOCK SCREEN AND ALL YOU GET IS THE WHITE HTC SCREEN.

What works well for holding an extra sd card is to cut a microsd sized piece of foam out of the middle of the foam on the inside of the back cover. If you cut it right so it kinda hugs the sides of of the microsd, it will hold it in place well so you don't have to worry about it falling out when you take the back off.

It pretty much says never use the sd card with wp7 in the first place, however then it can never be used giving very little storage. Also I don't believe that there are any magldr compatible sd builds on xda, though I could be wrong...
Im booting up WP7 without the need for SD card.. Everythings seems working like normal..
And no partition on my SD card.. (My SD card is still clean but still can run..)
Uhh.... Is this normal....? Does this mean I can just copy DL's 2.2 SD Android onto my SD card?
wp7 and android
hi guys if you create two partitions on a 16gb sd card you will have two cards one for wp7 and one for android
how come it says that we need an sd card to run WP7 but you guys says ur running it on the same device with no problems without one. If that was the case then whats with all the insturctions on partitions and things. Also how do you run a Android sd rom from MAGLDR so that I canrun Android on my sd and WP7 On NAND. Thanks

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.
Hi,
I'm dual booting Mango and Android in my HD2.
Initially, everything was fine. i can boot into mango or android as i wish. after 1 day exploring mango, i realized that the empty space of the storage card returned to 8GB. FYI, i partitioned the SD card into 2 partitions of 4GB each.
then went into MAGDLR to boot Android...it says loading image fail...my android partition is gone!
anyone facing this issue? i'm thinking maybe mango has something to do with it...
any thoughts?
thx
me too,so i back to NAND android again
remember this is green mango and is buggy!
It probably did a hard software reset and wiped the sd card while you weren't looking.
Hope you backed up android!
You Jinxed me!!!! I read your post this afternoon I said to myself "Pfff...Sucks for U, glad I'm still on NODO!" and then an hour ago while listening to Last.fm my phone crashed and rebooted. I didn't think anything of it because it does this every time once in a while. I stuck it back in my holster while waiting for it to be ready to use again. When I took it back out of my holster and turned it on it had the "getting started menu" was on the first page! Nooooo!!!!!! I got Jinxed!!!!!!!!
Well, I was planning to upgrade to Mango shortly anyways and I have a backup of my android on my desktop, which I just I did 2 days ago, thank god!!! So not too bad though my desktop usb hubs is really wonky and unreliable at times so that will be my only headache. So to answer your question, it's not just a Mango problem. It can happen on Nodo, too!
is this a mango problem? i've been dual booting ever since wp7 was available and haven't had any mishaps. gotta backup more often, but aren't we always using new versions of android anyways?
radiikal,
How did you get Mango dual booting in the first place. I have not had the time to devote to figuring out how to work with the way Mango formats the SD card, in the past I have been running dual boot on 7004 and NoDo so I know how to do it. However, as of Mango it formats the entire card as two "Other" partitions, since the 200MB section is not FAT16 I have not been able to modify it using the usual steps and I cannot get Windows to recognize the new FAT32 partition since it is not the first partition on the disk. I am going to try and copy a partition from another SD card and see if that works but if there is another way to do it I would like to know.

Guys, the dual booting method is the same for all WP7 builds. I'm using the one user elfinlazz cooked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157535) and i loaded it the same way as i did when i was using xbmod's build.
spike, you are right in that when WP7 formats your sd card, it doesn't make a FAT16 partition. I use minitool partition manager for the whole process and it makes one 200MB "other" partition, and the rest of the space as a second "other" partition. what you do is this:
1) Delete the bigger "other"(red) partition and click apply. it should be "unallocated" (gray)
2) Click create make it "unformatted"(dark green), leave as logical, and make sure that "partition size" is BIGGER than "unallocated space before" (I would make it AT LEAST a 1gb difference. I've had issues where if you try to make them equal sizes, windows would format the whole card again)
NOTE: make sure the partitions read in THIS EXACT ORDER:
200MB "other" partition
smaller "unallocated" partition
bigger "unformatted" partition
click apply and it may take a while. once it's done, put it in the phone and boot into WP7
3) you should go through the setting up phone process. once you get to the home screen, go to settings, about phone, and check the available storage. it SHOULD be the size of the bigger "unformatted" partition (give or take a couple mb for the os files). if all is well, hit "reset your phone", when it asks are you sure, hit yes, and your phone will reboot. MAKE SURE YOU BOOT INTO MAGLDR.
4) once in magldr, put the sd back in the computer and open minitool
5) you can now delete the 200MB "other" partition and it will merge with the smaller "unallocated" partition. from there, click create, make it FAT32, make it primary, and make the cluster size 32kb. click apply and let it work.
6) you should now have 2 partitions, a FAT32 and an "other" partition. the "other" partition should be bigger. right click on the "other" partition, go to "modify" and click set as primary. both partition should be set as primary or android will not see your SD storage.
7) if that's good, copy your android build to the sd card and before booting into android, i would boot into WP7 again, set up your phone again, and check the available storage. should be the same as the first time you booted wp7. if not, then you'll have to do the process all over again, and i would make the WP7 partition bigger than you did.
I am using dual boot too, no issues here. Works as good as it always has

I think you can not dual boot with half and half size. Give WP7 greater space than Android as not to confuse WP7. I read that somewhere.

You can use 2 different separate cards, one for each build. It's a pain to update WP7 and then go over the partitioning mess again.
The only annoyance may be the removing and the reinserting of cards. That does not bother me.
Once WP7 Mango is set up and running, it does not erase a new card you would insert by accident. WP7 asks you to turn off the phone and get the right card. It is best to setup MAGLDR to boot android automatically...
I had that same problem but that was with a 7004 build. It happened a day after I flashed radio 2.15 to 2.12 to test for better battery performance.
Have got radio 2.15 back on and not changing this time
Received my first HTC through the post yesterday and joined the site in an attempt to run android. I know nothing and there's an overwhelming amount of information on this site so just need someone to point me in the right direction.

My problem is after running clrcad.exe and haret.exe, the phone reset after a grey screen. Looked like it went well but now the SD card has disappeared from the file explorer and windows when connected through USB.
Any help appreciated, just want to get the SD card back up so I can format it and so on. Thanks.
I take it by the lack of replies that this isn't a common problem. It's kind of put me off trying any new ROM's as a simple procedure like this can't even go straight. Will have to stick with Winmo then
Im not quite sure anymore, but i dont think you are able to mount your sd as long as you use sd builds. I dont know if this is changing with an ext partition on your sd.
Just check out the NAND section. Its installed on your internal memory and not running from sd. WinMob will be fully deleted and replaced with Android, so first do a backup of contacts etc!!!
If you do not need WinMob for any kind of apps for work etc which arent ported to Android yet (which i dont think there are much NAND is the best solution for you.
Started like you with sd build 2years ago, too. But switched to NAND as soon as it was stable.
Now it is almost perfect.

How did you get the card to show again? Or did you buy a new one?
Just a thought,have you tried a soft reset? Switch phone off Take back cover of and press little red button for a few seconds,put cover back on reboot into android
Also make sure your SD card is formatted to 32kb (slow format)

Ok, here's my case laid out. I've searched the forum to death, so I'm pretty sure what I have here is a head scratcher so I'm hoping someone can help me out.
I bought a used HD2 off craigslist. It came with WP7.5. When I plugged in the data cable (i.e. USB cable), I didn't get a prompt for mounting to SD card. I installed Zune and got all the drivers (going through the MS troubleshooting list), and the phone was able to mount to Zune with only 200 mb. No problem, right? This error is common. I find out that if I use an SD Formatter, I can clear the card, which is 16gb, back to it's original state by mounting the card through MAGDLR.
After restarting the phone, I still couldn't get more storage than the allotted 200 mb, except it had decreased to ~150 mb. My phone was filling up quickly. I researched that, under WP7+, there should be a "connections" option under settings for mounting the SD card through the cable, so I thought "Hey, maybe it's because this flash of WP is missing something." so I reflashed my HD2 to stock rom using a guide.
While as a stock HD2 (T-mobile), I had now 600 mb of space on the phone to use, but I noticed that the HD2 still wasn't sensing my card. Bad card, maybe? So I tried an 8 gb I had, a 2 gb I had, and a 32 gb I KNOW works from my tablet (and still works on my tablet). I decided maybe it was the ROM's fault, so I decided to flash android on it, since I'm used to android from my other phones.
So I follow Jayce's guide and put on the proper HSPL, MAGDLR, the right Radio, and CWM to flash a new android ROM and banish my problems once and for all.
PROBLEM, I'm stuck here because (dope!) even MAGDLR and CWM DO NOT SENSE MY CARD(S). Now I'm stuck and I don't know what to do. Is there a way to get it running at the very least? I know the microSD slot is pretty much the most reliable piece on the phone, so I don't think it's broken.... but maybe it is?
So either a) somebody help me get the phone running with any ROM or b) somebody help me figure out how to get the SD cards working.
Sh*t out of ideas here.
[edit] OK! I FLASHED IT USING THE OL' HOLD DOWN THE "DOWN VOLUME BUTTON AND FLASH THE STOCK" Could still really use help with the SD card sensing thing though....
it wouldn't be the first bad sd card slot reported here, so, reliable it may be, break proof it isn't.

I had a bad SDCard too, it doesn't work in recovery but does in the ROM... I think you should really think about replacing your card. Flash memory has a limited amount of writes, so I wouldn't be surprised if you lose your data or find it unusable one day.
