the original DFT release is fine if your SD card is compatible (SD compatibility is the same for all releases.)
everything else on here is based of DFT with a few exceptions, largely around unlocking the device for you.
xboxmod is pretty stable, but as mentioned above, if your SD card isnt compatable, then you will have issues with most ROMs. there is a thread on compatable SD cards, although there is no official WP7 compatable memory card

ignore anything in that thread about compatible cards, its all meaningless, get a class 2 or 4 card and keep your fingers crossed, as it stands, maunfactures do not produce cards for the public to a spec needed for WP7, its completely unknown.
you could have two identical cards with the same model number and one may not work, luck im affraid, is whats needed.

yes there is. Sandisk has official wp7 branded SD-cards, but they are expensive. Otherwise its all about luck. I'm on a sandisk class 2 16GB bought off ebay, and it works like a charm. Others might not be so lucky with the same type of card. So, if you really want to be sure it will work, get a wp7 branded card.

ah yes the cards that no one can buy, unless you happen to be in an AT&T store
correct me if im wrong but i couldnt find a store selling them to the public, there is lots of FUD on the net about them but the actual products dont appear to be anywhre, i did only spend 5 min looking so perhaps they are about.
The question is, will OEMS make a brand of cards that will only have a very very minimal uptake in sales, after all, most WP7 devices have or are supposed to have, non removable cards.
Not saying its not going to happen, because obviously they can produce these cards the question is how big a market will there be for them and is it worth them selling them as a branded model.... anyhowe if you have a link for some place selling them other than at&t drop us a line
Strangely enough, my 16gb SanDisk Class 2 was slow as hell in my HD2 with 6.5, but seems to sing with WP7...

apparently its because of random access speeds, a digital camera couldnt care less about random speeds, what it needs to sequential speeds, hence the class ratings they use, i dont know the details of it al but apparently one of the ways they can make it sequentially faster has an adverse effect on the random speed
theres several other factors involved as well, components used and how it was put together etc. thats partially why your safer with a class 2 or 4 card.

well im sure some of you have read post from this guy. about how he is able to read files from his eight gb sd card in is uni even tho it only says 2 gb on his device. has anyone else gotten one of these supposed magical cards and tried it out? i searched on ebay and it seems to be that only one guy has or sells this specific card . is nuclear advertising for this guy , is he a scammer or is this true and we dont know about it yet. please give input if you have gotten one of these cards and have tested it out.
Even all those 4GB SD-cards are already non-standard and not working in most of the devices. From 4GB upwards they have to be SDHC-cards (SD 2.0) which are not supported by the Universal's reader. Sure, it would be possible to manufacture 8GB SD-cards, but it's very unlikely that they work in a lot of devices since SD was never meant to have more than 2GB.

well i just saw today that a treo that was supposedly not able to support sdhc is now able to because of a firmware update. check engadgetmobile.com if that can be done with a treo why not the universal. if its a software problem im sure there are people in here that are able to help
Sorry about my long post but i am trying to give as much information as i can in one post.
I am requesting ROM builders to start firmware upgrades to support these 4GB and 8GB cards. Windows Crossbow doesnt support 4GB or 8GB SD only cards, instead it reads them and reformats them changing the firmware of the card to 2GB!!!!... I havent tried SDHC yet. Here are pictures of my 4GB Extreme III SanDisk SD only card. I couldnt upload it here so i zipped them and uploaded them to rapidshare. Helmi's AKU 3.5 ROM doesnt read a card formatted using Crossbow... i dont know its just too many details. I cant think. But I just want to let you guys know that you are right so far on your research. Keep the good work up!
http://rapidshare.com/files/8938902/sandisk_tech_support.zip
I emailed sandisk tech support these images. It seems they havent replied yet. Keep a track on all my threads as i keep posting about these cards everywhere.
Trust me its just because i have a lot of money that i am able to get my hands on these things. And i just keep posting my observations. I would even get my hands on the 32GB card if I could bribe the CEO of SanDisk.
It got reformatted to 2GB.. I am unable to make it 4GB again.
My 8GB card as you can see in pictures on ebay is a samsung make. Its also SD only. 8GB SDHC cards are available to be bought. They are a bit slower then normal SD cards and are cheaper too.
32GB cards will be coming soon in SD or SDHC i believe. I read it in news. Like its totally upto you to believe me or not, my information is very helpful to me but i still encounter problems and it seems not even sandisk can help me
Anyways so its a farse that Universal's SD card readers dont support SDHC. And you can file a lawsuit on SanDisk or Samsung for that. They just want you to spend more money into buying a SDHC card reader.... Truly its the ROM.
ok now i know u r full of shyt. u keep popsting that u have this card and it works but i have yet to see ne photos. u just like the attention u get from lieing through ur teeth. thats pretty sad
i dont know about the 8bg but my 4gb is working no probs,
doesnt matter if its empty, only used 900mb, or any amount in between empty or full, screen grab using SPB explorer of my current card status:
oh and to stop arguments there is no reason why nuclear couldnt download the demo of spb explorer then do a screen grab of his mem card section of memory just like i have in previous post!
so erm, as they say "get your cards out for the lads"
this is the card i got, dont know all the bull**** about this format that format, its slower etc, but this is quicker at loading tomtom sat nav up etc than my other card 1gb puremedia sd card, like i said 4gb, no problems http://www.mobymemory.com/proddetail.asp?prod=SD_MOBYMEMORY_4096_001

I don't know that I come to the same conclusion after reading the thread in the link. It seems questionable at best since two of the posters specifically said it did not work for them.
SDHC compliant devices work with SDHC cards, SD devices do not.
You may be lucky to get one that you can read from, but an SD device will not write to it without screwing it up.
The Universal is SD not SDHC

Yo thats a SD card not a SDHC lol. in the email you said SDHD...now you say SDHC... lol
this is total bull, i have came to two conclusions after reading all these post.
1 -now it seems like the only person that sells this specific card that nuclear has is fastmemoryman and he is advertising for him. IF that is the case then i tell u guys not to deal with this scammer cause i bought from him before and was sent a 2 gb card disguised as a 4.
2- Nuclear does indead have a 8 gb card from samsung and is able to put his dvd in it but because sd 2.0 IS backward compatible as i have read it from several sites you are able to use only 4 gb of the 8. so he is putting his dvd in the card but only one movie,
those are the only two possible conclusion there is . so if its not number 1 then its number 2

Yup i think its #2 .... goddamn crossbow screwed up my 8GB card!... Alan knows it. Dont call me a scammer alright... first i am helping you and then you call me a scammer.
Don't bring me into this, I only know what you keep telling me, and what you post here.
I have no way of verifying what you say, one minute things work, one minute they don't, one minute you are developing a crossbow rom, the next you have one from another device.
It might be the language barrier, but half the time it sounds like you tell different stories from one thread to the next.

hey guys im new to the hd2 threads and i want to dual boot windows phone 7 and android and i just want to know what kind of 32gb sd cards are the best because i want to partition it to where windows will have 16 and android the other 16 thanks in advance
I wanna bump this but re-phrase his question a little bit.
For anyone using a 32 GB SD card or have tried it for dual booting WP7 and Android - How is it performing? What brand would you recommend? Does class make a difference?
I searched and came to this thread. I have an idea but would like more input in this matter. I need more feedback to make the best decision possible because I plan on triple booting into Ubuntu but sorely lacking space right now. Thanks. And don't be shy to reply.
I'm guessing sandisk, but hold your horses.

Really? I hardly found Sandisk with class more than class 2....
There is a thread that shows the different speeds for sd cards. I found that class 2 Scandisk 8gb is the best preformer.

So have you given 32gb sd card a try? I'm not looking for speed and don't mind a lock up, hiccup, or even random reboot once in awhile. I just want something that works, minimally, at best. Now, if it works but there are constant problems and prevents me from doing certain things on my phone then forget it. I'll have to somehow make room for ubuntu or just plain do without it.
Is the "compatable card issue" with Windows Phone in its software (so we can make unsupported cards work) or is it something in the card that it needs?
problem is in software (drivers).... since mango released many sdcards stopped working or work worse....

it's not necessarily all cards...the postings point to cards made by transcend. other brands seem to work fine. i have no problems with 3c, film pro, lexar, sandisk.
drivers? i don't think it's a problem with the drivers...seems to be issues with how card makers implement the standards.
besides, how are you going to fix the drivers anyway?
Sd cards problem have been discuss for months or years.
It not the roms nor the drivers problems, from dft roms, nodo roms, manggo roms, tango roms or maybe APOLLO roms is not the main issue. The main issue is SD CARDS itself. NOBODY can comfirm which sd cards working or not working. ALL sd cards are sensitive to all hd2 wp7 roms. WE cannot say which roms is fast or slow, it totally depends on SD CARDS.

I'm really not certain about this, but their a limit on the size SD card our hd2's can support. (Either 16 or 32gb which is what I'm uncertain of) try formatting your new SD card into two 16 gb partitions and then see what happens.
Hopefully either that helps or someone with more knowledge than I will comment and give you a better answer

Well the limit is definitely not 16gb because I have one of those and it works fine in Android but it for some reason cannot boot SD Android. Also, if I'm not mistaken MarkAtHome (I've seen him in many of the NAND threads, especially NexusHD2) has a 64GB SDXC card as he was posting something about that a while ago. He'd have to confirm though.

Where did you get your memory card?? You son are a victim of false advertisement. I purposely purchased a "cheap" 16GB sd card from ebay and it wasnt even bigger than like 300MB. There are ways to fake the memory size, and thats why when you try to put the music on your card is says its not there because there truly isnt any physical memory available. And also why it gives those weird readouts. Sorry to bust the news :/

There have been threads discussing how certain sd cards do not perform well in android devices, including the HD2. It has to do with some of the access times the cards are rated at.
I have tested a 32gb patriot class 10 card in the HD2 and samsung vibrant that made both phones freeze and run terribly slow until the card was removed.
Sandisk cards run flawlessly in the HD2 and I have only been using them for the past year, including a 32gb and a 64gb SDXC. The 64gb must be formatted as fat32 inside the phone before it can be used, but the full 64gb is available.

I agree with elesbb. Infact the same thing had happened to me about 4 years ago. What they do it put a memory hack in the SD card fooling it to think there is more memory. I would say if you bought it from ebay contact the seller first and
tell them you think it might be fake and you wish to get a real card asap. If they don't send you one or sound like they may be un-willing to then you should report them. Here's some information found on ebay's site about fake memory cards.
If you bought it from a different online seller you should still contact them about it and say you did some research and believe you recieved a counterfit item. In the link i shared above there are a few examples of how to spot fake cards including some pictures if you go through the links. I've read somewhere that if you have a sandisk and the class rating is in the corner then you more then likly have a counterfit one. Sandisk's class ratings should be centered in the middle of the SD card.
Okay, i've just sent email to him, hopefully he will just re-send me new, (working..?) or give money back!
Hi,
since I installed Android on NAND (with the SD-ext trick, otherwise I wouldn't be able to install apps) I found that during the course of the days the phone will eventually get the SD-ext partition damaged until Android won't do anything (process com.android.core crashed) and needs a reformatting.
I have tried a few ICS/JB roms, including unofficial CM10 by TheDude, which resulted lasting more than others with old version 1.0.
My bootloader is cLK.
I want to ask if other users experience(d) the same behaviour with their Android builds on HD2 and what the developers community thinks is the guilty of SD-ext damaging.
Usually I get my SD fixed with fsck on Linux, but the last time it made me really angry. I installed Whatsapp, Viber and Skype. The three programs seemed to run fine, but in a single afternoon I discovered that not even the sole ext partition on the SD was gone, but the entire partition table blew up to hell!
I don't want to accuse TheDude's work because 1) other users don't seem to experience the same and 2) it also happens with other ROMs. Every chef here does a great job.
I also tried changing SD but didn't fix.
So, what's the community's opinion about this issue? Any ideas - based on experience - on what is causing it and how to fix?
So much thanks in advance.
I personally have never heard of an issue similar to this. When you say that you tried changing the SD, did you change to one of the same brand? Does the SanDisk 2GB class 2 which came with the phone (or, if you have a TMOUS, the 16GB) work with it? If you're using a cheap, unbranded SD then could you try a different one from a known brand like Kingston or SanDisk?

Agreed, cheap sd card are usually the cause of this and using a cache, constant writing destroys them in no time, Sandisk all the way !
