i have got HTC HD2 with android v 2.2.1.. every time i transfer a file on the SD card via usb, the phone does not recognize the file. i tried doing the same in windows 6.5 and it works.
Secondly, every time my phone restarts, it boots windows 6.5 whereas i have android installed. how do i fix these issues???
It sounds like you are using a Service card Android build. When you reboot your HD2 from a SD card build it is suppose to boot back into Windows Mobile cause that is what is in the actual internal memory of the phone, which the internal memory is what the SOL of the bootloader is programmed to boot up. To have Android boot up from SD card on it's own house need to install a dual boot app, just Google "Dual Boot Apple for Windows Mobile" or go the the HD2 Windows Mobile themes and apparently forum and do a search there.
If I am not mistaken to have been your SD card work properly as a mass storage device when connected to a computer you have to have USB. Debugging on. To do this while in Android go to Settings>Applications>Development and check USB Debugging.
If you're using an SD build it's known that SD builds restart to WinMo, you shouldv'e read it somewhere by now.
Files transfered to the Card on android are not recognised unless you restart the phone or transfer them when you're on WinMo, also transferring the files to an SD android version using diskdrive mode means you're risking braking the build or corrupting your SD card, it can be fixed with either scanning your card for system file errors or formatting it in worst case scenario..
anyway, the safest way to transfer files to SD while plugging your SD android over the USB is by using the Dual Mount SD app, the speed is a bit decreased, but the device will recognize them when you unplug it.

I'm new to posting here but i'm familiar with booting android and wp7 on hd2s...my issue is that whenever I boot into magdlr 1.13 to boot android from CMW it says that the sd is not mounted, however whenever I enter usb mass storage mode it is recognized my the computer. Also when I boot into an android rom via DFT then it still will not acknowledge my sd card. When I remove it, it shows the sd card removed up in the status bar. What could the problem be? How could I get my sd card to be recognized by the device again?

Perform a chkdsk on it or better still do a backup then full format of ur sd card....Also when copying previously backed up files 2 ur sd card, try 2 copy only essentials & certified files as most files end up being corrupted rendering the sd card useless.
P.S. Search google for "sd formatter 3.0" use it 2 format ur sd card.

Have you tried with a brand new SD card?
Maybe your old SD card is defective/damaged in certain cluster or block that causing the problem
Sorry if this is a n00b question... but I've been able to unmount and remount the SD card in my HD2, or connect it to my computer via USB (which unmounts it on the phone side), all while running Android from that same card.
I'm wondering if this is safe to do, or if the only "safe" method is shutting down Android and rebooting into Windows Mobile. After all, the 1GB data.img and the Android system are both kept on the card, so if it is unmounted, you'd think the system would crash or otherwise corrupt data...
Thanks.

I do think the system would crash or be corrupted because if all the files are running from the SD card and then it is removed, then all files would not be accessible causing the system to crash or even worse - corrupt data. Whenever run it from the SD card and connect it to my computer I use the app called "Dual Mount SD" which allows me to still access my SD card (from my phone), which means the android files on the SD card can still be accessed by the phone for the system to still run. I believe this way is the safest.
I read somewhere that someone removed it and nothing happened, but take it from someone who tried it: Do NOT remove the card from the phone when it's running android. and unless the developer specifically says that it's safe to connect his build through diskdrive mode do not connect it that way as well!
I'm using the above mentioned program and it works fine. Music and other media files will be recognized by the music app only after you rescan the card using any free tool available (search the net/market for a tool to rescan the card on android) and that's all you need
Hi,
I am running WP7 and AmeriCanAndroid on it. SD card is partitioned, so I have one partition for each of the OSs.
The problem that I have is that I want to update my Android version (I have to overwrite some files in "Android" folder) and I can not access the SD card.
I have installed Zune software, phone is visible (I am in WP7 mode), and Zune tells me there are over 3 GB available. But my Windows Explorer does not see is as mass storage device.
OS on PC is XP and my SD card is 8GB. Any advice?
Thank you.
Hi
boot your phone to magldr.Then choose point 4 (USB MassStg).Now you can connect your phone to PC and finally you can see the Android Folder.
Thank you.
I will try that to see if it works after my Android gets installed (waiting for 15 mins already).
I found an workaround. Put my SD card in a Symbian phone, which was able to access it, and used the Symbian phone as "card reader". It worked...
After WP7, used Partition Manager for formate to SD
I have updated HD2 from Energy Windows Mobile 6.5 to Energy Android 3.5.
While installing the new OS I noticed that my SD card wasn't working right. After installing aMAGLRD 1.13 and using it to copy necessary ZIP file that it took me a few times to correctly to coppy the file on SD.
After installing my Android OS and the nrunning it I noticed that I am being displayed an error saying "Damaged SD Card".
Now, I thought to just format the SD card by using the Mass Storage Device which should be visible from Choos a connection type but I only see Charge Only, HTC Sync, USB Tethering, and Internet pass-throught. No Mass storage device.
Anyway, how else I could fix my SD card or how to get the Mass Storage Card option?
I can not make any promises but you can boot into MAGLDR and then choose opt ion number 4 of the main menu. This is the USB Mass Storage option in MAGLDR, but know this do this at your own risk as this option in MAGLDR works for transfering files but is slower than the in ROM USB Mass Storage option, and the connection is not a stable connection.
Your other option is to get you a micro SD cars adaptor or reader that you can plug into your computer via USB. I actually recommend you do this as you probably need to do a low level format and I do not suggest you use your phones micro SD card reader to do this.
This is probably too long but, I have used the Mass Storage thing from MDR.. idk... and I have copied and installed my android 4 OS. It seems nice, but the problem is when I launch android.
The 16gb card with adapter isnt supported by my card reader as it seems eather.
So I bought a new card for 15 some dollars and I'm happy now.
But what could cause my SD problem?
Hello,
I have American Android on my phone. After a few weeks of stability, the screen turned black and I was unable to get the phone to respond to any buttons anymore. I took the battery out of the phone and restarted it. It's stuck in the boot screen with the cyan Android animation. It never gets past this animation.
What can I do to fix this?
Also, I tried to open USB Massstg in the magldr menu to try to backup what I had on the phone, but for some reason, my computer isn't able to read anything from the phone in that mode.

Have you tried tak29?

Edit: I see you mean task29. Will that remove all of the data on the SD card?
It won't touch the data on the SD card. Also, in reference to the OP, the reason USB Mass storage won't read anything from the phone is because it's used to read the SD card, not the internal storage.

I am running all of my Android builds from my SD card. They are not ROMs that I flashed to the NAND.
Since all of my Android builds are being run from my SD card, how come USB mass storage does not work? You said that it is used to read the SD card, and all of my Android builds are stored on the SD card and not internal storage, so how come my PC cannot read the SD card under Magldr's USB mass storage mode?
Will using Task 29 fix my problem. I don't have a buggy ROM since I am booting my Android builds off my SD card. Also,
I just tried to put the following SD card Android builds on my SD card, and they keep restarting at the HTC screen (also going in an infinite loop):

I guess that the American Android build isn't the problem since other SD card Android builds are doing the same thing. I am really puzzled about what is happening. No Android SD card build is working, and I cannot figure out why. They were all working before yesterday.
I realize that there is FAQ that tries to address this issue, but the context here is different. I have no Android ROM flashed. I am completely booting from an SD Android build. The FAQ says to address the partition size, but I never had to deal with partitions because I am not using an Android ROM.
If you have a backup on your SD like (titanium backup) remove your SD card from phone and use SD card reader hook up to PC copy said backup folder to desktop and reformat SD then copy folder back to root of SD and reinstall ROM files to root and clean install.

Do you know how I would get my battery fully charged? For some reason, the battery isn't getting charged when it is plugged in. I only get an infinite reboot loop.
