[Q] App for booting from one andoid to another.

Is there any app which will help me to boot from one android to another without going to windows?
I have MCCM and Froyo. I want to know if i can boot to Froyo from MCCM without going to windows.
Thanks for your time.

Nope, not at the moment. Since android runs off the SDCard and windows resides on the flashable NAND memory windows always loads before it's shut off by Haret. When the DFT team releases the Magldr, then you might be able to do what you're asking for. Hope that answers your question.

Thank you my friend.

Hi guys
I have the MDJ FroYo HD v.4.4 build on my HD2, a friend recommended i tried MiUi so i put it on to my sd card booted it up then went back to MDJ's build and received an error when i turn on WiFi and excessive battery drain, far more than normal! since deleting MiUi folder from sd card battery seems to have got better but still error on WiFi. is it even possible to have two types of android on your sd card? Or am i just unlucky?
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks for your time

I have 3 different android builds on my SD card without any problems, so I'm not sure what's wrong with yours.

MIUI builds create another Android folder beside it's original file, that may have conflicted with your MDJ's

Almost all android builds create other files on SD card. Normally they shouldn't conflict with each other but its possible your miui overwrote or corrupted something in your dhd build. Also possible for there to be little bits of programming still lingering around.

MANGO update

did someone test it on our HD2 with this procedure http://windowsphonehacker.com/articles/get_the_mango_update_now._without_being_a_developer.-06-30-11 ? Works it or not ?
thanks.

It won't work since it still requires for you to install the beta over zune...

can't someone with a device it will work on do a dump of the rom post-install??

What Beta to install over the Zune ?

Sorry man, you are not the first one asking this. There are several other threads about the mango-update for now, why open another one?
No its not working. How should it, did you ever update your hd2 with wp7 over zune? I guess not. We have to wait till dft or the legendary yuki build a rom that will be flashable via magldr. there is no other way!

you need to remember my friend that the HD2 is not ment to have WP7 on it at all.
The only reason we do have it is because of some test drivers that were made way back, these test drivers are not finished drivers which is why we have a dodgy touch screen / battery/ camera / flashl
anyhow, even if it were possible to install the update on the HD2 via zune you would very likely end up buggering up your device. All it takes is for MS to overwrite one of our special drivers and that would be it.
so in short, the only way we have of upgrading is to reflash when someone releases a HD2 compatible ROM, thats it, as of right now there is no other way.

Ok, thanks for explanation.

7740 update

Has everyone got this update from Zune with BTTF rom? I updated to 7720.68 through Zune but no updates after that. Does it have to be forced?

Didn't get the update through Zune, so updated with a standalone .cab, easy and fast. You might want to do the same and not bother waiting for Zune.

Hello, I have a T-MOUS HD2 running the original (working) WP7 by the DFT from late February. Do you think you could point me at a link for a more recent 7.5 ROM? I've been going in circles trying to go through all the forums...

You are joking mate, right?
Anyway here you are one of the latest updated to Mango http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833, everything seems to work properly
Cheers

Thanks Enigma, eventually found right cab and like you said, done in minutes.

Any noticeable difference with this update?? Is it updateable via zune?
Thanks

Seemed to speed up start load time. Apart from that, nothing. If it is, it didn't work for me.

My HD2 Is Finally Running WP7

Hi just wanted to extend a thank you to Pdaimatejam for his great rom and easy to follow tutorial. I have finally installed WP7 on my HD2. I have posted this on my website Harmonnetwork.net. Thank you XDA Developers.

Updating WP7 in Zune
While I was syncing my phone with Zune I noticed the update link in settings for my phone. Will these updates negatively effect the rom installed on the phone if they are installed through the Zune update. I hope I am making sense. Thank you.

it shouldn't do, with yukis ROM it would have been ok, but I cant say the same for all these new ones and dispite being cab updatable there doesn't seem to be any effort in continuing the support.
try it, but you might need to hard reset and reflash if it all goes wrong.
The only thing I can think of that might bugger it up is if they update drivers...

Pdaimatejam's ROM is not updatable via Zune. If a new release of WP is released, only the Yuki/XBmod and HD2O's ROM's are going to be updatable via Zune. I believe these are the only two ROM's have Yuki/XBMod's update tweak built in. Pdaimatejam's ROM does not have the update tweak in it.
The only issue with HD2O's ROM is none of Yuki/XMmod's cabs work on it.

And bt and audio don't work correctly

congratulations! WP7 on the HD2 is nearly equivalent to the HD7.
HD2 + WP7 > HD2 + any other OS

Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.5 Tango 7.10.8773.98 v8
Just updated to this new rom by Pdaimatejam. I must say thank you again for another great release. Everything seem to work fine. Just hope battery lasts longer than it did in version 7.9. Again thank you Pdaimatejam.
