TUT on How-to Dual Boot Mango RTM & Android SD? - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Now that the ever resourceful Yuki/xboxmod have availed to us the Sd Unlocker Cab making it possible to dual boot the Mango RTM and Android, could somebody please take us through the step by step guide about enabling this. I have waited for this day a long time and I guess my prayers have now been answered But.... I am on NoDo and I want to make the big jump to Mango/Android dual boot in the smoothest way possible.

SDCARD & ANDROID RELATED CABS:

These files change the size and format of the SDcard extrapartition
This partition is used as working part for updates and to save logs
It is usually formated as FAT16 and sized of 200MB
So choose the file which the number of GB you want, send the cab to device and Reset
The first partition will have the new size now and already formated in FAT32
So you can use it as USB key or for Androïd without having to do it manually
Take care if you reset again datas on it will be lost
If you want to revert back to FAT16, 200MB just use DEV_EXTRAPART_REMOVE and reset
This feature is to be used beside DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab
With this tool you can unlock your SDcard
The card will be relocked after each reboot to WP7 what is a security in case of stolen device
So use the tool each time you want to boot to Androïd or use SDcard as USB key.

After installing the EXTRAPART cab (of whatever GB u want) u must go to settings, about , and RESET wp7. After the reset is complete the partition should already exist.
When you want to use android, go to the applications list, storage lock, and unlock the sd card if it is not already unlocked. Restart your HD2 and boot into android. If u want to go back to wp7 just restart your phone again.
Remember that if u boot into wp7 after android again, u must unlock your sd card using the storage lock app again, before booting into android for it to work...

On the first post of the ACA thread it says "Includes optional rootfs.img that allows to boot build from magldr (!readme! in /sdcard/Android/SDMAGLDR)"
Follow instructions in the readme.
Also in Magldr -> 10 services / 1 Bootsettings / 3 AD SD Dir / Android (not Androi~ or anything similar)

You might want to get a card reader, especially for android as there are issues with usb transfer to phone.

Newbie question: Step prior to step 4 above.
I already downloaded my Android files sitting on PC with folder name ../Android.
My question .. How do I copy exactly these Android files to the partinioned folder of my microSD card?
Via Zune or Do I need to remove the sdcard from phone first and insert it in my PC to perform the copy?
I'd appreciate if someone can provide the necessary steps.

Best to remove card and use an external reader. Use partition software like easus or minitool and format the partition to be fat32 (make it primary and 32kb cluster size) then you can just copy/paste it right from explorer.
This is all under the impression that you can see the card in windows. If you cannot, it means you didn't run the StorageLock cab in WP7 before you rebooted.

Thanks for your little guide [email protected]

Thank you! I just used the sd adapter, insert to pc and copy the android files with no issues. I thought it was hard initially but everything went fine. Dual boot mango and android is perfectly working .

so after mango is installed - I presume the sd card will be locked right?
if i install DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab this should unlock it but if install the partion DEV_EXTRAPART_xxxG.cab do i still need to use easeus and mini tool to partition the sd card?
sorry for noob like questions

When your XBmod/Yuki WP7 Mango 7720 is now running successfully, you have now the option to do a dual boot with Android following the steps below.
1. Send the DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab via the sender tool. I am not sure if necessary but I think I’d rebooted my phone first after the install of the storagelock.
2. After the reboot you’ll see 'StorageLock' tile in home, click it and click yes to unlock first the sd card.
3. Once unlocked, send the DEV_EXTRAPART_xxxG.cab next
4. Once done you need to reset the phone via settings>about. I repeat reset and not just reboot for the partition to take effect. You don't need to use easeus and mini tool, the DEV_EXTRAPART_xxxG.cab will partition the card for you as well as format it to FAT32. Special thanks for XBMod/Yuki for that.
5. After the reset, you can go to 'settings>about>more info' just to verify the WP7 total and available storage space has been reduced.
6. Once verified, click the 'StorageLock' tile again, to unlock the card again. Everytime you do a reboot the sd card will be locked automatically.
7. Once unlocked, turn off the WP7 as normal.
8. Safely remove your micro sd card from HD2. Insert the card to your SD card adapter and then insert to your PC. Your PC should recognize the card. This is the method I used.
9. Copy the Android files that you extracted to the root of the SD card.
10. Once done, insert it back to your HD2 and you're set to boot the phone to Android via MAGLDR.
Note: Before you proceed to boot Android the first time, you need to follow the guide on where you extracted the Android files on what else to be done/MAGLDR settings etc. My first attempt was not successful due to some missing files required by MAGLDR but after few readings here and there, I finally made it through. I guess on the 4th attempt.
Good luck

I would get another ROM and reflash it, whether it's a ZIP ROM (CWM) or a NAND ROM via DFT.
it would be awsome if you could send me a link to a good rom? android or windows? realy need this to work

Well there's lots of good roms out there... they are all very easy to flash back and forth from. I hate to say which one is "better" than another as that is purely subjective and everyone has a differing opinion. However, it seems a lot of people really like Sergios, MDJ's and CMYXLGO's ROMs. As a start you may want to check out one of those... Here is a link to the main Android NAND forum.
I have
•HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL
•Radio that support 576 RAM
•DFT MAGLDR Bootloader
•ClockworkMod Recovery
Installed.
Can you send a link to a rom that supports clockwork? i dont realy care witch one just one that works. am e newbie in this just got the phone yesterday, and now i kinda afraid i cant fix it :/ :/

If it turns on and will boot to the bootloader, it's fixable So don't worry that much! Try out Sergio's ROM. It supports CWM. If you do use that one be sure to back up your SD card as you have to repartition it.
The steps to install it are:
Code:
HD2 COREDROID Desire HD V1
1. Extract downloaded zip to a folder of your choice
2. Copy contents of copy_to_sd_root (initrd.gz and zImage) to the root of your sd card
3. Boot into magldr and select USB Flasher option while phone is connected to PC
4. Run DAF.exe included in the zip and follow onscreen instructions.
5. After complete devise will reboot in magldr chose "Boot AD SD" option
6. Device will boot into Clockwork Recovery
7. Select advanced
8. Select Partition SD card (remember too backup all valuable data you have on SD Card)
9. Selet (minimum 512M)(maximum 1024M) Chose what fits best for you Recomended size 1024M
10.Select Swap 0M
11.Wait for the process too finish (do not restart device stay in ClockWork recovery)
12.Connect the Device into USB
13.select mounts and storage
14.select mount USB storage
15.Copy contents of copy_to_sd_root (initrd.gz, zImage) to the root of your sd card
16.Copy CoreDroid_HD_HD2_v*.zip to the root of your sd card
17.Press back key after finish
18.Press back key once more
19.Select install zip from sdcard
20.Select choose zip from sdcard
21.Select CoreDroid_HD_HD2_v* file and then confirm
22.Wait for it too finish
23.After flash options pop up again Press back Key
24.select reboot system now
25.Let it boot wait about +-10Min Enjoy
I haven't really examined the guide you followed that much, but make sure you have installed a recent version of Magldr (i.e. the one you can download in the official Magldr thread in the WinMo subforum, version 1.11 to be precise). The first version(s) have been notorious for the Gogogo! bug persistently affecting some users.
Just a fyi, ignore this if you already have this v1.11
I got the aMagldr V1.11
The rom you sendt me doesnt work, it stopps here:
Run DAF.exe included in the zip and follow onscreen instructions.
i allredy installed a Daf.exe can that be the problem?

No, because it's not really an installer, but a flasher. I'm not really an expert on the CWM issues, but it seems to me like formatting your SD card(do a full format, not the quick one) might help you, since it's quite probably your SD card being the *****.
It may not help you, but if you've got a few minutes I'd say give it a shot. Don't forget to backup important SD (NAND isn't affected) first of course!
Oh, and there's also this small chance that your CWM download is corrupt. Not sure if that would give the gogogo error though.
Sorry for being a complete newb, but how do i do the hard format?
but do i need the DAF.exe to install the rom?
You'd have to format in Windows (which I assume is the OS you're running), which now that I think of it may be a bit of a problem. I don't think you can mount your SD card with Magldr, which means that you'd have to use an external card reader. If you don't have that, you'd have to reflash WinMo to format, but since that's quite some more work for something that I can't even guarantee to be a solution you might wanna hold on to other suggestions.
DAF.exe is the tool which flashes CWM to your phone. Some other tools and/or ROMS use the same name for their flasher though.
after this one :
8. Select Partition SD card (remember too backup all valuable data you have on SD Card)
9. Selet (minimum 512M)(maximum 1024M) Chose what fits best for you Recomended size 1024M
10.Select Swap 0M
i can't do **** i cant open the device in windows. is there no way i can just system recover the whole device? or do i have to rom it?..
realy need this to be working, prefer android but windows is okey

It sure is no brick, as long as you can boot into bootloader (turn on phone while keeping volume down pressed) there's no problem at all. No need to return it either.
If you feel really desperate try the WinMo thing, you've got nothing to lose except for about 30 minutes of your time.
winmo thing? is there any guide?
if i download a format program i can format the sd card..
1. Flash WinMo, this should be no problem in bootloader
2. I think it's possible to format your SD card within WinMo. I've never used WinMo actually so I can't give instructions on that.
If you can't find it or if it isn't possible, mount your SD card so you can see it in Windows. Backup data if necessary. Then right click on it (in Windows), and choose format, then disable quick format which should be selected by default. After the format you should have a clean SD card.
4. Flash Magldr again, following instructions in the official Magldr thread. Download a new copy off xda, to eliminate the possibity of just having had a corrupt download.
6. Flash CWM, following instructions in the official CWM thread.
7. Flash ROM.
Edit: I used WinMo where I meant the mobile OS, and Windows where I meant the pc OS.
I did format the SD card, nothing new just that CWM disapeard.
Now its loading with aMagldr v1.11
And i Have Spl-2.08. Hspl 8g Xe
Can anyone send me a link to a good Win 6.5 rom and anykind of guide?

Confusion on Android NAND installation

hey guys,
i am new to this thing but i have read alot of forums and discussions. i was trying to install the android with nand method but each and every rom that i have downloaded from NAND area has three folders in it
Boot
meta-inf
system.
and the instructions are to copy the zip file on sd card. i am quite confused that why do i need the sd card method when i am using the nand method. ?
after searching alot i have just found on thread which gives me the option of installing the rom using DAF.exe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620=android+2.3
but this is an old rom.
pleaseee hellppppppp
To flash a Android ROM using the .zip file you have to have Clockwork Mod Recovery flashed to your HD2. You place the zip file on the root of your SD card and then use CWM to find the file and flash it. Click on my guide linked in my sig. I have full instructions on how to flash CWM and links to download CWM. I also give a full break down of what each thing in CWM does so you should have no trouble as long as you read.
brother how do i copy the zip file to the sd card ?????????
Do you have MAGLDR and proper Clockwordmod Recovery installed on your HD2?
If yes: turn on your device and hold END key for few seconds so you see MAGLDR menu. Then choose 8. AD Recovery with vol down key and confirm with CALL key. In recovery menu choose Mounts and Storage (again with volume keys and confirm with CALL key), and at the end choose mount usb storage. Remeber to connect phone with PC by USB cable first.
Then you should see new portable drive in your Computer window on your PC. Just copy/paste a .zip file (don't unpack it!) like you copy/paste other files between folders.
thanks for reply
yes brother i do have MAGLDR and i have tried doing the steps that you have mentioned but my computer doesnot detect any usb device
the only device that is detected is the internal memory of the phone
Are you sure it's internal phone memory? I don't think user have access to such things. I think that this is your sd card. May I ask you what files/folders do you see when you open this internal memory?
Other way is to use external card reader.
i dont know what it was but it was showing me that there is only 190 mb of storage space. and my card is of two gb and there is no file in it. anyways. i have used the card reader now. thanks for your help
Hm... just a thought. Have you ever used WP7? Cause it creates 200 mb FAT32 partition and if you don't format your card after flashing other OS you still have access to only 200 mb partition.
And if you want to thank, there is a nice button called "thanks" after each post .
yes i was using WP7 before. formatting the card would delete the partition right ?
WP7 is the most suckiest OS MS could ever think of BTW. there is LITERALLY nothing to do or play with.
Hah, bullseye .
I don't know if Android would handle this weird partition created by WP7, but give it a try and format it by using Android. Windows XP/Vista/7 can't format it properly (there are tools for that ofc but that's for experienced users).
I'm 100% sure that Windows Mobile 6.5 formats sd card the way it should be, I mean it properly detects and deletes WP7 partition. But it would be big trouble to go back to WM, then again flash MAGLDR, CWM and yout build .
Little off topic, WP7 is nice OS IMO, but too closed. It's fluid and Metro interface is great, but that's it. It sucks in 3rd party apps as much as WM 6.5, if not more beacuse of closed environment. But that's a different story for different thread .

[Q] Dualboot Android and Windows phone 7.5

Hello,
So unfortunately i must write in to this forum because i am a newbie
I work for it since 3 days and searched for solutions but now i must ask, because i tried this 15 times and it doesn't work...
This helps me a bit ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815 ), but no one have this problem...
So i want a dualboot on my hd2 with win phone 7.5 and android on one sd card (later change the boot in magldr when it works).
Okay first i load the storage lock on my hd2 to unlock the card then i put it off and take the sd card in a reader to change the partitions (like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTHRAUHZHlo&feature=relmfu ). In the video it works to put on the phone after this changes, but on my hd2 i take the sd card into the phone an after the reboot comes only that the storage card changed and is damged. the only way after this is to turn off the phone and do a hardreset...
Is there a solution for my problem that i can change the partitions and take the sd card into the phone to boot win 7.5 normally?
thank you
Hey, I´m guessing you are on xbmod/yukis WP7 Rom?!
Then this is the way to go:

These files change the size and format of the SDcard extrapartition
This partition is used as working part for updates and to save logs
It is usually formated as FAT16 and sized of 200MB
So choose the file which the number of GB you want, send the cab to device and Reset
The first partition will have the new size now and already formated in FAT32
So you can use it as USB key or for Androïd without having to do it manually
Take care if you reset again datas on it will be lost
If you want to revert back to FAT16, 200MB just use DEV_EXTRAPART_REMOVE and reset
This feature is to be used beside DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab
With this tool you can unlock your SDcard
The card will be relocked after each reboot to WP7 what is a security in case of stolen device
So use the tool each time you want to boot to Androïd or use SDcard as USB key.
DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab
this will install unlock tool for your sd card (possibility of dualboot)
DEV_STORAGELOCK_REMOVE.CAB
(remove unlock tool take care sdcard will be relocked at reboot.)

Forget about the thread you quoted in your post. It is a good thread, but
1. it won't work with xbmods WP7 Rom and
2. it is too complicated
Xbmods method is super easy, worked perfectly for me. Follow the instructions including the hard reset and you are good to go...
Greetz Ric
hey
it works
okay a bit stupid, but what must i do at next
Do the Sd card in the card reader and put android on it (and change then the files) or is there something before like in the video?
thanks
Hey,
just to clarify, you already sent the "DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab" and the "DEV_EXTRAPART_8G.cab" (8GB just for example) to your device?
Then you have to use the storagelock app in WP7 to unlock the card.
When unlocked take the sd card out of the device, put it in a card reader and connect to PC.
If you are undecided use this android build: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652
This build includes optional rootfs.img that allows to boot build from magldr (!readme! in /sdcard/Android/SDMAGLDR)). So read the readme file that comes with it, exchange the 2 files and then copy the android folder (The whole folder!!!) to the root of your sd card!
To boot android, you have to choose it from Magldr. I think it's point 3 and is called Boot AD/SD.
If you need more help booting Android from Magldr just yell, then I have to restart my device and look it up ;D
Greetz Ric
hey ;D
so i do this steps and it works fine thanks a lot for your help
Thanks, you are nice

You really should download the HD2 NAND Toolkit. You can use the toolkit to flash HSPL, MAGLDR, or clk to your HD2. It has all of these included in the download for the Toolkit. You can also use it to flash an .nbh file to your HD2. This means you can flash Splashscreens and Windows Mobile ROMs with the Toolkit also.
Go to this thread to learn how to dual boot Windows Phone 7.5 and Android. But just so you know Android can only be run from SD card when you have WP 7.5 installed in NAND. You can not however dual boot Android from NAND and WP 7.5from SD card as WP uses your SD card as internal memory.
Last of all for your on good please read the guide in my signature so you can hopefully educate yourself about exactly what the MAGLDR is and what it's function is. Plus it is a load more of info I think would very much help you to read.
thank you very mach i jast seee i need to put the android in SD card will it make it sloer? or its will upload in self to RAM on start up... if its like this maybe i will start with jast android 4.0.4 soo jast for this what do i need?

The first thread you linked is a tool used to install Android to NAND widget means Android boots from internal memory. So unless you want to just use Android on your HD2 this is not the guide for you right now.
The second thread you linked is to a SD card buildvthat uses Super RAM which means that part of the main Android system boots into RAM on start up widget makes the build run faster. If this is what you want to use for your Android you just need to download it and extract the contents of the .zip file to the root of your SD card and then either use the file explorer to touch on CLRCAD and then HARET, or you can install a dual boot app for Windows Mobile that you can use to boot your Android from SD card.
I just want to correct a very very wrong statement, WP7.5 is very well supported. The HD2 is often better supported by the dev community than official WP devices, infact the HD2 got Tango before any other WP phone. Also with WP7.5 on NAND you can dual boot so you can have Android and WP7.5, you can't do that the other way around. I would suggest dual booting HD2Owners ROM found HERE along with AmericanAndroid on the SD found HERE. These two are both realy stable and well supported.

Ok let me see if I can walk you through this some. First download the 02.04.12 HD2O© ROM, the AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 SD card build, the Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14, the EASEUS ALL-IN-ONE Partition Manager Software mentioned in the guide I linked, and if you do not already have it download the HD2 NAND Toolkit. You will also need to download and install Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center (these programs have the USB drivers you will need) depending on what version of Windows you have, you will just have to google for a download as I do not know what version of windows you have, I suggest you put both the WP7 ROM, the Android SD card build, and the 2.15.50.14 Radio in a folder that you can easily remember were they are on your computer. Also go ahead and install both the HD2 Toolkit and the partitioning software on your computer.
Now to make sure you do not have any problems with your SD card I recommend you do a full re-format of your SD card. You will need a USB card reader and a Micro SD card adapter.I linked them just so you will have a visual reference of what you need, but those are the ones I have and they work great. Aslo if your computer has a card reader you like mine does you just need a Micro SD card adapter. Now back to re-formatting your SD card.
Place your SD card in the Micro SD card adapter, then place the Micro SD card adapter in the USB card reader (or the USB card reader on your computer), and then plug the USB card reader into one of the USB ports on your computer. Let your computer install the drivers and go to the windows start menu and click on Computer or My computer depending on which version of Windows you are using. You should see the SD card as a removable drive. Right click the drive and select copy and then create a folder to paste the data that is on the SD card already so you will have a backup. Now right click on the drive again and select format, when the format window pops up make sure to uncheck the the box beside Quick Format and also make sure it says FAT32 under File System. Click Start and then click Ok on the warning window that pops up. Then set back and relax until the card is done being formatted.
Now you need to make sure you have at least 50% or more battery, but I suggest you have a full charge before you start just to be safe. Once you have the proper battery level you need to boot your HD2 into the bootloader by holding the volume down button down while you power on your HD2. When you see the multicolor boot connect it via USB and wait until you see the Serial in the white bar of the bootloader change to USB. Now open the folder with the 2.15.50.14 Radio in it and extract the files from the .rar file, you will need Win RAR to do this. Once you have the files extracted click on the CustomRUU.exe file and follow all of the on screen instructions. Once the RUU is done you will have the 2.15.50.14 Radio installed on your HD2.
Next you need to boot your HD2 back into the bootloader and connect it to your computer via USB again. Open the HD2NAND Toolkit and click on the Install HSPL button under Main Tools. Follow the on screen instructions and when it is done you will have HSPL 2.08 installed on your HD2. Now go back to the HD2 NAND Toolkit and click on the Insatall MAGLDR button under Main Tools. Follow the on screen instructions and when it is done you will have MAGLDR 1.13 installed on your HD2.
Now that you have MAGLDR installed on your HD2 it should only boot up to the MAGLDR 1.13 main menu. Go to option number 5 USB Flasher and then find the HD2O ROM file you downloaded and extract the files drom it. Once the files are extracted click on the DWI.exe and follow the on screen commands. When it is done you will have Windows Phone 7 on your HD2.
Now you need to follow the part of the guide you linked that I have quoted below. I left the link to the video of the method that I have quoted so watch it as it is a very good video. Oh and in case you do not notice it in the video, you need to hold down the power button while your HD2 is booting to boot to the MAGLDR main menu. And the video will show you how to get the Android build to boot on your HD2.

THIRD METHOD - USING A SINGLE SD CARD - HERE IS ANOTHER ALTERNATE METHOD PROPOSED BY XDA MEMBER HYELLOW (UPDATED)
1. Put your sd card inside the hd2 and power on.
2. Go to about screen, in settings, and reset your device. Let it reset and boot to WP7 again. While booting to WP7, it'll create the partitions it needs, so this is important. After you have gone through the setup wizard, go to about screen and reset your device again.
3. When it has booted into magldr screen, remove the sd card and insert into pc. (make sure that magldr is shown and stays there at bootup, otherwise it'll boot straight into wp7 without sd card and that is not what we want.
4. You'll see two partitions. A whopping 200mb of fat16 partition and the other is unformatted. Now right click on the unformatted partition and click delete. After that, click apply. Now you have unallocated space. Right click on the unallocated space and select create. Set parameters to logical and unformatted and size the partition. This will be your WP7 partition, so decide how much you want to allocate to it, this is permanent, no changes afterwards can be made. Also, make sure you move it to the end of the sd card in the same 'create' window. Hit apply. IMPORTANT When using this method make sure that the wp7 "unformatted partition" is larger than the Android partition otherwise the wp7 "unformatted partition" will move in 2nd place and you will not be able to resize the fat 16 / android partition.
5. Sit back and take a break.
break.
6. You now have a green fat16 partition to the left, some unallocated grey portion in the middle and your WP7 partition in modern turqoise colour on the far right. Agreed? Now remove the sd card from PC and insert in HD2.
7. After you have inserted the sd card, let it boot into WP7. Remember what your last action was when you were still in WP7? Yes, you pressed reset, so the device actually thinks he is still resetting the device. He might do it too, but just go through the setup wizard again.
8. Go to about screen and verify your storage. Don't look strange if when the storage has a different of about 1Gb, this is swallowed by WP7 for system stuff etc. Are you happy with the progress so far? Then power down your device and remove the sd card. Allow the HD2 to fully powered down as sometimes the screen is pitch black, but the device is still turning off.
9. Insert the sd card in pc and, using EASUS right click on the green fat 16 partition and select resize/move. Now fill up the rest of the unallocated space and hit apply. This is your android partition.
10. Format the sd android partition (not the whole sd card!) using EASUS to FAT32 using 32 or 64 kb cluster size and put an android build onto it and test.
11. IMPORTANT You need to convert the wp7 unformatted partition to primary for the sd android to see the sd card Use minitool partition wizard to do this. Right click on your WP7 unformatted partition and select modify and then click on set as primary and hit apply. Here is the link for minitool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10887494&postcount=372

Hope this is detailed enough for you.
T-Macgnolia did a great job with the walk-through the only thing I would suggest is that you can save yourself a LOT of headache if after you get the HD20 ROM installed use CAB Sender and send one of the partition updates from xboxmod to your phone. This will let you skip all the hard partitioning stuff. The CAB's with various partition sizes can be found HERE. After you send the CAB you will have to go to 'Settings' -> 'about' -> 'reset your phone' -> 'yes' -> 'yes'
From that point on you can finish with installing Android onto the SD card.

Well to be very honest to you I have only flashed four WP7 ROMs to my HD2. So my knowledge of the ends and outs of WP7 on the HD2 is somewhat limited. I do remember reading something about Cab Sender. I think you have your HD2 booted into the WP7 ROM and your HD2 connected via USB to your computer to I se the Cab Sender to transfer cab files to your HD2 and install them also. Maybe XDA Seior Member voluptuary can spread some more light on it for you. But if I remember correctly if what voluptuary is telling to do takes out Step 1 to 11 of the guide I qouted and everything in the video up to here he puts te Android build on the SD card as I think it will. Then I say it sounds like you may want to check it out I am willing to bet it is not complicated to figure out.
Now just on a side note, I do still say it would be a very good idea to still do it te other way even if you try the Cab Sender. It is always a very good idea of how to manually do things. This way you understand a little bit better what you are doing to your device. And remember knowledge is power.

All you would have to do is after you install the HD20 WP7 ROM send one of the partition CAB's I linked to earlier, so say you want a 2GB partition for Android you would send "DEV_EXTRAPART_2G.cab" with CAB Sender and then do a full reset from within WP7. Then let WP7 reboot and you should be all set to power down the phone take the SD card out and copy the 'Android' folder over to the SD card that you would have taken out of the ZIP from the AmericanAndroid thread. You have to be sure to follow the few instuctions in the AmericanAndroid ZIP readme to get it to boot via MAGLDR.
Then to point MAGLDR to the right place to boot Android you need to, while powering the phone on with the loaded up SD card, press and hold the power button to get into the MAGLDR menu then go to '10. Services' -> '1. BootSettings' -> '3. AD SD Dir' and then select the 'Android' folder you just copied over to your SD card.

Well to get a Windows live account you just have to go to live.com and creat a account or just creat one when you go through the set up when you first boot WP7.
But I think what you are asking is how to get live services working. To do this you will have to contact Microsoft. Check out this thread for more details on it. I got my code over live chat on m computer, I told them it was a HTC HD7.
Or you can use skype and call 1-800-642-7676
its microsft Us support number and its toll free so you can call it on skype for free (from anywehre in world) say you have a technical problem and its user related.
then it will connect you to an operator
he/she will ask for your problem, just say u have a HTC HD7 phone and it wants a 25 digit activation code from u.
Then he/she will ask for your phone number, ur operator, ur email, and your name (don't worry they r not gonna spy on u, they just want it for registration, believe me I know ;-P )
then u have to be on hold for 5-10 mins and he/she will read u the activation code
BUT: if you have a poor connection or bad English language skills then the chat method is far better
PS: my opinion as an ORD? it doesn't worth the hassle. I remember after lots of hours spending online and finding the best rom and the best way to change to WP7 and finally activating it... I couldn't make it through the first day on WP7 (even thou I had SD android, the wake up bug really bugged me). then I just flashed to an ICS rom and then it was happily ever after
ok thanks evrey one soo i see a lot of ppl say thet WM7.5 is not thet good...
but i have 2 more qestion:
ace4cia i saw ICS on HD2 in youtube and i saw it is slow not moving fast do you have thet problam ?
and what rom do you advise?
and whan voluptuary says DEV_EXTRAPART_2G.cab its for the sastem only? if i install apps i can do it only on the 2 G or the all SD card

nope, not at all, well it's not like a quadcore phone but it is pretty well for ours, still far better than wp7 though ↖(^▽^)↗
and for the rom if ur looking for beauty and performance together the ics miui.us by smokin is awesome, but if ur looking for stock looks of ics and ofc performance then nexushd or aokp are cool too ㄟ(≧◇≦)ㄏ

How to dual boot Latest builds of WP7 and Android JB

Hi I was wondering if anyone can guide me through dual booting the latest WP 7.8 build and Android JellyBean v.1.2. I love both but can't seem to dual boot both. It's either one or the other.Thanks in advance.

But that forum doesn't say what to do once you install WP7. Like how to install android JB to dual boot both. I want to dual boot the latest builds for both.
Emm... It says you must do reset of you phone from settings (or hard reset from magldr). Then you should don't let your phone boots (just stay in magldr). Remove your card from phone and put it to PC's card reader. Use MiniTool Partition Wizard to create more partitions (fat32 and ext4). And there you go. Try to boot WP7. If it boots normaly just install Android as NativeSD.
You will be lost any of your data on SD.
I think those tutorial is clearly enough. Hope you can repeat all of this steps.

I too, am finding the various tutorials a bit confusing. I used MAGLDR V1.13 and successfully installed Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.8 OS 7.10.8835.35 v8.5. My goal is to e able to dual boot the installed WP7 and MIUI_JB_2.9.14_NATIVESD. THIS tutorial, was followed to partition sdcard, but I'm still confused when it comes to installing the SDNATIVE Android ROM.
Do I install cwm?
I probably should state that my volume down button in not working by the way.

There is a sentence from those tutorial:
copy the "TOUCH" or "TWRP" or "RECOVERY" folder your SD Card (they all do the same thing)
you should copy recovery folder to sd card.

You can do hardreset from WP settings anyway. And magldr has looping menu, I think.

...and then what?
Maybe you should read more carefully?
Code:
Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > AD SD Dir > TOUCH
& this should run, Tap on Advance

Tap on Partition SD card

Ext size. = press the + sign to go up, swap size is 0 & make sure to select EXT4 then tap Partition

All of this is jus REPLACEMENT of recovery. Then :
Code:
Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > AD SD Dir > TOUCH
Tap Install, notice that the compatible ROMS for this methoid have a div2 or NativeSD designation, tap on the ROM you want to flash.

lojjj, I too have attempted to follow that series of tutorials, and finally succeeded, but due specifically to the part you are mentioning, it took me HOURS. There is no "Touch", "Recovery" or "Tap" folder on a freshly partitioned SD card with 4extRecovery on it. The instructions are absolutely extraneous and cause confusion. Moreover, instructions for using HD2Toolkit to partition the card are useless for triple booting if one has already partitioned using a card reader in your computer. Yes, it can be done, but doesn't need to be done if one has followed the instructions up to that point.
The other problem is that one needs to combine three or more tutorials just to do this, and they sometimes have different options, but no reason given for choosing those options. This may be the best tutorial out there, pictures and everything, but still a far cry from being perfect or complete. Oh, and sometimes the tutorials are continued in another post, which also leads to confusion.

You're looking for this ones? The link provides at the top of first post. There are a lot of recoveries with NativeSD support. You need to download one of them, unpack and copy to root of SD Card. And then you can get to Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > AD SD Dir > Recovery.
Maybe I'm wrong cause I never did such things. Good luck :fingers-crossed:
