Two android builds at the same time?

Is it possible to have two android builds installed on my HD2 at the same time.
Currently I have a CWM NAND Desire HD isntalled. I would like to experience an SD GB build, without affecting the allready installed build (i.e. remove and reinstall again).
Is there a possibility for such two builds to co-exist. When booting to choose (MAGDLR 1.13) which one should run? without anyone affecting the other?
Please advice.
Thanks

i don't think that exit..
SD GB u mean SD card build? if SD boot, they require WM base for all this working properly..

No, they can work fine side-by-side. You don't need Windows Mobile anymore to boot into the SDcard versions of ROMs. You can do so by holding down the power button as you boot and you will see the DFT menu. Select AD SD and you'll boot into the SD version of your ROM, if you select AD NAND, then you will boot into the NAND version of the ROM. I've personally run MDJ Gingerbread on the NAND and dandiest's DesireZ ROMs on the SDcard at the same time, booting between them to play around.

Thanks.
How do I install The SD version? is it via "AD SD" where I install a zip file from root? or do I have to put the files in the "scdcard\android" directory?
Is there a procedure like HAARET?
Please advice

SD is the easiest way, but with cwm and a 400mb partition you can setup either Tom, do a nandroid backup on them and swap back and forth. The issue is gb Rome generally need a 150mb partition so your wasting space on the gb rom.
Try it, have fun.

First, download the SD ROM that you want, follow the respective instructions on how to set it up. Every ROM has a different folder that you're supposed to create on the sdcard. Next, in your Magdlr menu (hold down power as you're turning the phone on), select the SD Directory and point to the directory that you created for the SD ROM. Finally, just select which one you want to boot into via the same Magdlr menu.

Thanks
Found the answer
FOR MAGDLR BOOT:
Store the ROM in a directory "XXX" under sdcard (choose android or another name)
Boot MAGDLR
Select "SERVICES"
Select "BOOT SETTINGS"
Select "AD SD Dir"
Select the "XXX" folder
Select "BOOT AD SD" and boot

edit - oops, my bad, corrected
In the android nand section, titled something like "clockworkrecovery, nand,SD, ver 5.0.2 yes/no stable" or something, (currently top post
Get both
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip
and
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip
Extract and copy the SD card ver onto SD card (copy the two files to SD, done)
And then copy the whole cwr.zip to SD card too.
Then, into magldr, "ad SD" will boot into the cwm files you placed on SD, and choose instal zip from SD,,, choose zip,, and select the cwm.zip you also placed on SD.
This will write the cwm image into the recovery partition without reflashing the cwm partition layout, so nothing lost.
[02 Nov][RECOVERY][NAND|SD][cLK|MAGLDR] ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 "YES/NO" STABLE
download the first two links
flash_image.zip
and
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip
unpack teh two files from recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip onto your sd card, and copy the whole flash_image.zip to sd card.
enter magldr
select 'boot ad sd' which will start cwm but from your sd card, from there you choose 'instal from zip - select zip' and select the flash_image.zip, which will reinstall cwm into the recovery partition on your nand, and now you should find that magldr 8 - ad recovery now works, and your rom hasnt been touched. plus you now have the latest cwm.

.*takes a bow*.

i did everything but on cwm when i try to install the flash image zip it says installing update.... installation aborted....
help
perhaps recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip should work?

yea sorry, you are right, its the 2nd and 3rd images you download, , you boot to the sd one (like you have ) and flash the cwm one. My mistake.

aaaaaand relax.

Please, confirm if I get this right - the only way to make Rom manager work with HD2 is to use CLK bootloader, is that right. I had similar troubles to these decribed in the above posts and solved them in similar manner. I dont want to go all the way and install CLK and rom, restore back-ups and see it is too not working with Rom manager.

he can't install that warez in his PC/ NB.
@LinChina
i think recovery(CWM) only makes EXT3 but i'm not really sure about that, your best bet is use a pc that can have those warez on it
or this, if you can place & unzip the file in your NB
3a Use the provided 4EXT recovery (NAND or SD version) to create the partitions and format them.

NativeSD Dual Installer v2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31110719&postcount=2

Now I know ..but the first post is for people who don't have magldr or android on nand....SD recovery is not needed when you have cwm recovery inbuilt in magldr
Easy steps
1. Use minitool partition manager on PC to make sdext4 partition (cwm makes only ext3 ..so is not useful)
2. Copy your favorite native SD rom zip folder to SD card
3. In magldr ..go to ad recovery..install zip from SD...then follow instructions ..default path install is SD ext
4. Reboot
Enjoy

Hi everyone, it only looks that I'm a new user, it's because i've never posted anything before. I have Hd2 for almost 2 years from now and like 1,5 year being passive user on XDA. Anyway I do have problems that i can't manage myself. OP asked a dumb question, only if he has Android Nand or Windows Mobile, however... nobody ever tried making it work with WP7? I've been working on it few hours and don't have a clue how to do it. I've deleted my FAT32 partition and split it into Fat32+Ext4. If EXT is logical, WPH boots and show "Storage Card not working", but if it's primary it doesn't even boot. Is there anyway to solve this thing? Any help much appreciated, thanks.

I like to try nativeSD Android roms, but with MAGLdr it runs into a deadlock as MAGLdr does not support WinMo 6.5.
Is there a way to use NativeSD? even better with multiboot?

Hi at all,
today I installed ACA NativeSD on partition EXT4 into my sd card. I copy and paste the 2, zImage, intrid file which I fund in NativeSD/ACA folder, into root of my sd card. I rebooted and when I choose Boot AS SD in MAGLDR the ROM do not boot.
What I do wrong?

you must copy the 2 files from "<SDCARD>/NativeSD/ACA" to "<SDCARD>/NativeSD" (and not to "<SDCARD>/" )

but I got already 2 file in there (zImage & intrid), do I have to relace them? Anyway if I try to set up the AD SD Dir from Magldr I do not see the NativeSD folder so will not boot anyway. I think I have problems with 4EXT but I am not sure.

yes, you must replace the 2 files...
why you can't see the folder: check on a PC, if the folder has hidden attribute... or try to create a new folder, copy all files from the old to the new, delete old and rename new folder...

ok, I will replace them.
Why I do not see the folder? I ask my self the same question and I don't know why, anyway my card is recognized and the folder is there, if will be hidden I will not see the folders, I also put different card into my hd2 with different folders and still the same. I think the 4EXT recovery make something wrong with partitions or I do.

you may partition your sd card by this way
backup your data first, reboot into recovery, choose option 8. ad recovery => advance => partition sd card, choose your own option and wait

[Q] NAND backup restore after NativeSD installation

Hi everybody,
I have installed a NativeSD Rom and at the moment I have nothing on the NAND. I am trying to install the backup of my old NAND ROM on the NAND again, but when I choose the right backup file from MAGLDR Ad Recovery / install zip from sdcard / choose zip from sdcard, the system says: "CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6 / No files found"!!!
I've checked the backup file and it has all the files (about 695MB)...
I have just tried to choose the NativeSD ROM file which I also have on the SDcard and the system accept it (of course I break the install process in this case)!
What I'm doing wrong? I'm just trying to restore the old ROM to NAND, so it should not interract with the NativeSD ROM...
Best regards,
Conrad

Hi to you,
I thought restoring backups had nothing to do with "install zip from sdcard"? Why are you going there?
*Re-reads your post again and tries to find another meaning to what you said*
Edit:
Hydroxyl, NOW I understand! You are doing it wrong
In order to restore a backup, the backup must be located in "/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/" (That's for android 4.1.2 and earlier, don't know about 4.2). And you don't install it like any ROM.zip file. From the main menu of CWM, go to "Backup/Restore" .. then Restore .. then choose your backup. (provided it's in the aforementioned location).

does the unzipped 4extrecovery folder on your sdcard contain the files Haret, startup.txt etc? or just 1 folder with those files in? needs to be the first.
Also are you booting using ad sd from magldr?

perhaps your 4ext download was corrupted, try redownload and re-install.

Sorry, i know what went wrong, you have to change the name of the folder back to what it was originally, "4ext" or "4extr", then try to boot it.

OK so when I extracted the zip file don't rename the file that contains haret etc files, just copy to sd card the way it is. I was following what a video on YouTube says and when he unzipped the file it had a file 4EXTRecovery

Still have the same problem, if I don't rename the folder to 4EXTRecovery and then go to magldr the 4extreco~ file didn't show it has a different name. I'm stuck on this. Please help

Select the file with new name from ad sd dir, then boot ad sd. But you have probably tried that.
Sorry again, i was a bit confused earlier when i said i knew what the problem was
Let's get back to basics, if you switch on the phone and hold the volume down button, what info do you get on the tri-colour screen? Just to check you have hspl 2.08 installed.
Also can you post the link to the vid you used?

I have hspl 2.08, and this is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn5A6TVUxeg

The video is good, hspl is good. The only thing i can think is happening is that you extract the recovery (last on list recovery_twrp2.2.2.0_leo_sd.zip) to get recovery_twrp2.2.2.0_leo_sd folder. Inside this is another folder called recovery_twrp2.2.2.0_leo_sd. Inside this is another folder called twrp2.2.2.0, this is the folder to put on sdcard. select this folder using ad sd dir. then boot using ad sd.
In ad sd dir, magldr only reads 8 characters, so it should appear on the list as twrp2.2.~
If this still fails, then it might be that magldr does not like "." character. Change the name to twrprec (not twrp2 since i think the recovery makes this folder for its own use after booting), select this folder using ad sd dir. then boot using ad sd.
I really hope this works for you

I will try to do that when I get home, I'll let you know if that fix the problem. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

I tried everything and same thing, I don't know what's going on.
This is how it looks when boot to magdlr, first I change the folder to 4EXTRecovery and I got this

And then change it to twrprec

this is weird.
Try switching off on the phone and trying again.
If it hangs on htc screen, use the tiny reset button under battery cover to reboot, don't pull the battery
after it reboots, go to services/dmesg to sd
look on sdcard for dmesg.txt using pc and post it here.
