When im running wp7 everything is running smoothly but when i boot into android the lockscreen wont unlock. I'll have to reboot at least ten times or so before it recognizes my fingers...please help
Are you trying to use an old data.img?
Have you backed it up before flashing WP7?
If so allow android to create a new one and see how it goes.
new image...what else could it be?
people often put the old data.img file from the previous build into the Android folder to save reloading apps etc.
What builds are you using?
Are both partitions set to primary?
Is this your first time dual booting?
but what would cause the lock screen in android not to unlock. always ran into the same problem when i dual booted
Sorry Blakphoenix, but this might be the wrong Forum for this question.
You may want to try posting in your SD ROM build thread.
Good luck

Gday all im a bit lost in the android forums so im just going to do a noob thing and ask for some assistance, thanks.
I just installed the "[30 DEC][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM" rom over top of my last rom from WINMO, which was the Energy jan 6 rom.
I also installed the latest Radio "Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14" and HSPL3 along with "MAGLDR112" everything went sweet upon install, so i have no real questions regarding that but im wondering how i can boot back into WINMO if its possible?
If i reboot the phone it just auto loads into Android.
Also i would like to know what the best Android rom is for reliability and secondly how would i update the roms as new version are released?
I think thats about it for now, the rom in currently using feels smooth and great the apps work fine but it feels a little locked down compared to the WINMO but it hasnt crashed on me in the past day which WINMO would have by now, lol.
To flash back winmo, simply go into bootloader/tri color screen. This is done by holding vol down, then powering up.
I'm not going to answer which is the "best" android rom, as that has been asked many times, where there are many answers for, so, search it up.
Updating differs. If it uses daf.exe/install.exe, it's that same as how you flashed android for the first time, however sometimes you can't retain your settings. Clockwork mod flashing however, is unbeknown to me, haven't tried it yet, sorry.
Thanks for that, so what would i need to do to backup my settings and info on the Android just incase i reinstall it just say?
Also if i back to the bootloader would that mean ill have to reinstall a winmo rom?
Then if so would it only boot into WINMO and not android?
Secondly how would i be able to reboot into android again?
I guess im asking is there a way to dual boot and whats the best way about doing it?

r u being jackass?u have to flash stock wm rom first.ok then u can flash any custom rom.
ok use titenium backup to backup ur android settings abd appp..
ok and after winmo if u want dual boot u have to install sd android build to ur sd card
Why would i want to be a jackass?
Yeah i come on here to troll these forums to post noob questions for ****s and giggles, are you such a person who angers over someone who clearly doesnt know what he is doing and yet you think im being a jackass (god i hate that word, lol never used down here though).
I hope i clearly posted im the OP on how and what i installed but now im lost, i have android working fine but i dont know how to back any data up just incase i do an update or even flash back to stock rom and maybe come back to android later and hope to reuse the backed up data from the android rom.
It took me about a year to get used to WINMO and learning how to install a custom rom on it but now i thought i give android a go and i managed to follow the steps without any issues (yes there were a few more steps i needed to do than i did need to do for a custom rom for WINMO) but now that i have it running i just want to know what to do to get WINMO back on and preferably getting WINMO and android working side by side.
I know how to flash custom roms in WINMO but im just wondering if there was a way for me to be able to boot back into winmo while i have android installed, all i want is to be pointed into the right direction or shown a link to a walkthrough or just given a point form reply as to the process on what and what not ill be able to keep and the best way in doing so.
So from your reply i gather ill need to install android to my SDcard and not the phone memory in order to run WINMO and Android together am i correct?
If so then because i use the ENERGY ROMS i can boot to android from within the ENERGY ROM, am i correct? i think NRG did something with android in his roms.
I am really sorry if i have upset anyone (above) but i am really lost with this, yes i pretty much understood custom roms in WINMO but with this i just did it spontaneously VERY VERY late last night and i wasnt thinking straight i just gave it a shot, so i put myself in the deep end and now im very confused with getting it back to normal as such thats all.
Worst case would i just be able to reformat the SD and then boot to 4 colour screen and just do my custom WINMO install as per usual or would i have to install the stock rom back then install the custom rom?
First of all, ignore the "jackass" above. That was just plain rude and he made himself look like a total idiot.
Secondly, if you want to backup your current Android setup, get Titanium Backup from the market. There's a batch job (click menu, batch jobs) that backs up all your apps & data and system settings. It backs it up to your SD card though, so be aware of that if you're thinking of formatting it for any reason.
Next, get the WM6.5 ROM that you want to flash (doesn't have to be a stock one). Enter the bootloader (tri-colour screen) and flash your WM ROM as normal.
Finally, when you flash a ROM onto your phone, that becomes the only OS on there. You can't switch between Android NAND and WM without flashing. You can, however, run Android from your SD card. There's a forum dedicated to that here...
HD2 Android SD Development
There's lots of info in there on how to do it, but it's basically unzip a file, copy the contents to your SD card, run 2 apps. You'll probably want to go down the route of a bootloader (not really) that runs in Windows. It lets you select Windows or Android when you reboot. They too can be found in that same forum.
That's the only way you can switch between Windows and Android on a regular basis, without flashing a new ROM.
Hope this helps
Thank you very much it has cleared allot up for me, now i know that because i flashed android on the phone its the only OS i can use, i didnt know that TBH.
So yes thanks again and ill do it the SD way and try my luck with that.
One more small thing, how do i go with updating the current android rom im using (if it were to be updated), does it work in a similar process as WINMO custom roms and their updates?
Again i much appreciate the reply, it has helped already.

Generally, you flash an updated ROM the same way you flash the original ROM. There are backup options like Titanium Backup or ClockWork Mod (if the ROM supports it), so you can get everything back up and running again.
My friend was trying install android on his hd2 and he clicked on haret first and he pulled the battery out of his phone and now he cant get it to turn on is there any fix for it?
check for bent battery pin
Can u access bootloader ?
If yes than u can reflash the ROM back.
How can i flash roms from the bootloader?
phone in bootloader - connect usb cable - when serial changes to usb, run your flash.
well we just had it booted by pushing the soft reset button and it booted up to winmobile and he shut it off and now he cant get it to go into the bootloader or turn on
Edit: it turned on again and also this is a unlocked running on At&t
well is he trying to run both winmo and android or making it a strictly android phone?
i dont know much about WM since im an android user but he running android off the sdcard for some reason the phone will turn on but when it shuts off it wont turn on he messed up and didnt run CLRCAD first and he ran the Herat first and it made the phone not want to boot up all the time
1st of all your friend need to decide what he wants, either windows or android.
what's the poit to start qindows and than boot into android?
he neet to flash the sys properly and not start from sd card.once the system is in flash u have stable sys,win or android.
so if he decide to go with android just go to Android NAND section.

Do you think the world has to be either fully android or fully win mobile? I think not. I use both and want both. And NAND is NOT fully stable either.

Phone will turn or or it won't turn on? Which is it? Are you saying it won't boot to winmo or it won't boot to android? If you remove the sd card does the phone boot to winmo? With the phone completely off what happens when you push the button to turn on the phone? You need to better explain your issue and what is actually happening. Cramming vague info into one super long sentence does not help you.
The reason were doing it this way is because hes not very smart at messing with this kind of stuff thats how he got his phone to not turn back on for some reason. Like when it turned off he couldnt get it to turn back on we both thought it was bricked but i started looking around posted on here and we push the soft reset button on the back of the phone and now it turns on but sometimes it wont its weird
Am I the only one who don't know what the hell is going on ?
I had this when trying to run SD card builds. Every rom every winmo rom, every radio, always the same,,, 99% of the time it screwed the winmo install and had to hard reset.
tried a few times for several hours to fault find,never solved it. All hail nand!
I still don't have a clue. If you are not smart enough to install an sd build (copy and paste) I sure as hell don't know how someone is going to go through all that for NAND builds. And the whole problem just might be that the call end/power button is defective.
Whatever this way is then good luck.
just install a stock rom going into bootloader choose accordingly depending on the hd2 version euro512 or t mobile 1024 via active sync or sd card method

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477(for 512 leo)
when u finish installing either stick to windows mobile or go for nand accordingly as stated in the link or this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981811
be aware of what hd2 version u have and install accordingly the hspl.
hope this helps.
I recently downloaded Darkstone's most recent SD build of Android which is working fantastically, except for that when I reboot the phone, it boots back into Windows Mobile, not Android. Is this an intended result? Or am I just failing all over the place? I searched for answer and couldn't find one, unless I worded it wrong somehow.
Thanks!

never heard of this issue though you may try some other builts which at this time are going great in nand built

and see if you are facing any probs and which hd 2 are using euro or t mobile1024
You missed the 'SD' part of his post. Gremlin - rebooting into WinMo is to be expected with SD or RAM builds, you have to then start Android again each time.
If you want to be really brave you can flash the 'permanent' memory of your phone with a NAND build so it will boot into Android each time.
Hello everyone. I have a few questions from a noob. Ok, here's the situation, I have an HD2 that I used to update regularly when i had winmo 6.5. ran android sd for a while, then switched to an MDJ nand months ago. havent messed with it much since. i want to update the rom to a more current one, but obviously alot has changed. anyway, on to the questions...
1. how do i get to the magldr main menu/boot screen/thing? the screen where you select to boot android sd, android nand, play tetris, etc. i just updated to 1.13.
2. i never made any EXT partitions on my sd card...do i HAVE to do this and if so, what is the easiest way?
thanks for you help! please be gentle, i know that the answers are probably in a thread somewhere, but i searched for the magldr and had no luck

You get to the magldr boot thing by holding down the power button while you turn the phone on until you get the screen, dunno about the easiest way to partition as I never have done, why do you want to partition anyways, do you plan on dual booting?
ah, ok. finally got to the boot screen. tried the hold power button down trick before but it didnt work. did this time.
i dont plan on dual booting, just read some things that said that I need to have special ext partitions set up to get app2sd+ to work
Cwm can partition your card, but be sure and back up cos it will be wiped. If you have a tmous you don't need ext, but for a reg Leo it is almost a must.
Hello folks, I appear to have gotten into bother during a rom flash. After successfully installing a MAGLDR nand rom via CWM, the first boot of said rom just gives me the frozen splash screen without animation and the boot does not complete. Happens the same with three different roms.
I suspected somewhere further back in the boot process was at fault so I reflashed a known working radio rom, but problem still persists.
Despite a LOT of reading I can't see much about freezes at this point in the boot process on MAGLDR roms.
Bits that work - HSPL rainbow boot screen happily comes up, Task 29 works, magldr reinstalls and works fine, CWM perfect. Installs roms from SD (freshly reformatted) and appears to be ready to go, until boot actually begins then... splash screen freeze.
I have redownloaded various versions of everything to ensure no issues with corrupt files. I have also used different SD cards and ensured freshly formatted FAT32.
If it helps anyone, I have previously used NDT CM7 12.1 for about a month with zero problems.
Any other less obvious stuff I'm missing?
I'm off to bed so will be approx 7 hours from post time when I start responding. In the meantime I've put MAGLDR 1.10 on the phone so at least it can charge!
Many thanks in advance for reading.
Replying to self with update:
Installed OzRom Winmo 6.5 via the tried and trusted CustomRUU method, and it appears to work perfectly. What is winmo doing that android nand roms don't? I assumed if there had been bad blocks on the nand the much larger windows mobile rom would have covered this, and thus failed on boot.
At least opens the door to using an SD build till I can troubleshoot. Odder and odder.
Forgive my ignorance, but if the CustomRUU flash method still works for me, are there any modern android roms that don't need MAGLDR or clk?
Again, many thanks.

How long have you been leaving the ROM on the boot screen? A first install of an Android ROM can take anywhere up to and over 15 mins for first boot. I also remember one when installing a hyperdroid ROM I had to restart the phone once to get passed boot splash.
I'd recommend flashing a popular ROM, leaving it for 20 mins, restarting and leaving another 20 mins. What do you have to lose? Just remember magldr doesn't have charge while off capabilities!
Also check your partition sizes and layout (you have to edit flash.cfg for magldr builds, partition sizes depend on the rom you pick but will be specified in the ROM thread).
Thanks for the reply. Each time I left the rom on the boot screen for a good half hour, and in one case an hour. I have installed NDT 12.1 and the newer v16 successfully before, so I know what sort of timescales are involved. I also had a go at an earlier Typhoon build. Naturally I used only the recovery sizes specified in each rom's own thread, using versions of MAG/CWM specified there, and Task 29 beforehand.
I have an update to all this, however. Previously I said Winmo installed, but now it is bugging out to all hell. This might fit my "bad blocks in nand" hypothesis, perhaps the files covering the bad area are less critical than the ones in each android build, and Winmo just crosses its fingers and tries to boot anyway!
In any case, if I can get an SD android build running I'll cut my losses and stick with whatever works.
Cheers again, hopefully this random screed of info will help people. Seems to be if all else fails, try winmo.
