[Q] HOW TO flash Android after having WP7 on my HD2

Hi all,
After having a while WP7, Im convinced that Android is more usable... anyway its my judgment. However, I have MAGLDR 1.12 but when I flash an Android ROM, it says successful, but it doesn't boot up, it gives some 'yaffs2' error.
In this situation, I can install back WP7, but cannot flash NAND android.
Any help please?

Switch off ur phone,pres volume down and power key at the same time and wait for three collor screen,than connect usb and flash winmo first and u know the drill for android from winmo
Good luck

Thnx a lot, it worked

Also, some ROMs require MAGLDR 1.13 so be sure you update.

I want to do the same. What about tht SD card. I heard that the SD card was specially formatted for Windows Phone and the only way to reformat it was in a Nokia phone. Is this true? What do I need to do/prepare to my SD card currently in my HD2 WP7 phone so that it is clean and I can install Android to it?

I formatted my card in my Cannon digitall camera did not tryed with nokia,but hey,try with everything u have that supports sd/microsd cards...

I went from android name to wp7. Wp7 was cool but I felt like I was limited after coming from android. Anyway, on the switch back to android I realized wp7 over wrote everything. I had to go all the way back to wm6.5, then flash magldr, then clockwork, then my rom. What a pain! I tried everything I knew of to not have to go through all those steps but its the only way I could get myself back "home".... in android

[Q] Problem: SD card not functioning when restoring previous cooked WP7

I updated my HD2 with Yuki-Xbmod v.1 rom. After experiencing excessive battery drain issue, I decided to restore my HD2 with previous WP7 rom (HD2O_1.14_DFT_LEO70_RELEASE_NO_SHADOW). Restoring process completed smoothly but when the phone started, my SD card was no longer recognizable in old WP7 rom. I restarted my phone removing my SD card and it started smoothly.when I updated the phone into Yuki-Xbmod v.2 rom, phone detects the SD card. I know that when I updated in Yuki-Xbmod v.1/2 rom, my SD card became locked. Does this means I have to stuck only in Yuki-Xbmod v.1/2 rom or is there any other way to install old WP7 rom without formatting the SD card by Nokia phone ?

try to change radio to 5.51.. in data folder in v2 rom and then flash and update and use camera trick and i thing that you will not have huge battery drain

Thanks. I've read this way out of battery drainage in Developers forum. Unfortunately I just don't know how to change the radio version (I'm a rookie here) ! Perhaps some link or guidelines can help me out.

i will try to flash v2 rom with 5.51.. radio today that i changed and if everithing goes good i will upload it and pm it to you if you want

I believe that Yuki Xbmod rom V.2 has been changed with radio 5.51T and uploaded in the developer thread. Let me see if this can be a help.

Yea I'm reflashing it at the moment - the new V2 download does contain the 5.51T radio (which is also fine for EU users).

Just finished working on it. Battery tools shows that this radio version (5.51T) reduces excessive drainage of battery into minimal level. So it works fine with me. But somehow I'm just wondering if I can save my SD card for other usage. I tried to format it in cmd, SD formatter V.3, partition manager, MAGLDR and Canon camera (I don't have Nokia). Unfortunately nothing works for me.

Do your SD card work in a PC? - If not, its because your SD card is lock by your WP7 phone, and you need to do the Nokia trick to get it working again.
/nOrphf

I have the same issue. It's a relief to see someone with my problem, and same symptos, and KNOW it's salvageable. There is just one problem: I HAVE A NOKIA N958GB! DAMN IT! That's like so close, but still so far. Only if I had an N95.....
Is there ANY other way of salvaging the SD?
EDIT: The cards are acctually easy to retrieve! You need the DEV_UNLOCKSTORAGE.cab (look in the WP7 mango (Yuki XBMOD) thread) then your PC can read the card and format it and you're good to go. But if you've allready uninstalled WP7 you will need to do a task29 (just in case) install radio, Then MAGLDR 1.13 and then clear the SD MBR (option 10 in magldr menu) and flash the WP7 ROM. Then I THINK you need to upgrade to mango to be able to use DEV_UNLOCKSTORAGE.cab (you can test and see if it works in 7004) and you're able to unlock the SD. Hope this helps someone!

SD card isn't recognized.

After attempting to follow the confusing steps in the xbmod-yuki rom my phone froze mid-update and my sd card spazzed out and now my phone says there is no sd in the slot when its in there....I can't connect to computer either.
SD Formatter can't even detect it.

nvm figured it out my self, plus i posted in the wrong section.

Would you mind sharing what you did to fix your SD? I'm having an issue related to Mango, don't know if it's the same as yours, but I'm trying to explore all avenues.

Sorry, yes. I installed WP7 Mango (XBmod-Yuki rom V2), SD card was formatted and locked. I removed WP7 without knowing this would happen, and now I can't get the card to be recognized in Windows, Linux, OSX, or any of my other devices that support MicroSD. Been searching for a fix, but it looks like I'll need to find a Symbian device to format the card.
After I posted before, I was able to reinstall the original WP7 rom and the card was recognized after a hard reset, but I'm not having any luck getting the unlock cab to work. Actually, now, after trying to send the cab to my device, restarting with the card in the phone or doing a hard reset results in the phone just not loading the OS.
Sorry for being long winded, but I'm just about out of ideas. Thanks for any help

The way I fixed that is an aweful thing to do, but it worked.
1. Flash to stock Windows Mobile 6.5 (with locked SDcard in there)
2. Task29
3. Install MAGLDR
4. FLASH WP7 (still, with that same SDcard in there)
After it's flashed, do not update, but take the card out and stick it in a card reader (hell, even the magldr >> usb storage function works).
Windows will detect 200 MB on that card. Format it with SDformatter and it will be good again.
Note: That specific card is not compatible with WP7 MANGO, so don't try to use that ever again ;-)
It took me a week to figure this out, but i successfully managed to revive my 8GB Sandisk Class 4 card, which I now will use in my camera instead of the HD2
Hope this helps!

AWESOME!

I'm going to try this, but I'm wondering which WP7 Rom you flashed. I originally was using the Yuki Update rom, then once all the badness happened, I flashed to a much older one, then back to Yuki. However, in each of those cases, I never got the 200MB partition. Anyway, I'm giving this a shot, will let you know. Thanks!

Hi hautsi, welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately the thread you posted, dated January, only works for the pre-mango ROMS (and possibly XBmod/Yuki V1)
Look here for SD format http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242071
also Krewsia1nl's method should be posted there

Hey again all,
It's possible there's something else wrong with my card at this point. I tried Krewsia1nl's method and it seemed like it might work, but I still never got any additional partitions that my PC could recognize. I tried it a couple of times, 12st with an older WP7 rom I found in the HD2 WP7 dev section, and 2nd with the original Yuki rom I was flashing. Same issue in both cases.
What I did find is that I can see the card in the Yuki rom after flashing, BUT if I restart the device, it freezes, I have to remove the card to be able to boot it, and when it reboots, it tells me I must insert the card to continue. Great...
This also poses a problem with unlocking the card in WP7 with the unlock or partition cabs. To install them, the cab sender restarts your device. Once that happens, my phone freezes and I have to remove the card. All subsequent attempts to reboot or reinsert the card are met with either nothing recognized, or an error (It's also important to note that I can only see the card on first boot after following Krewsia1nl's method-if I try to hard reset with the card in, the phone just keeps freezing).
So, for now, that's where I'm at. I'm going to try the UBCD Killdisk method and I'll report whether or not that works, in case anyone finds themselves in this particular, sinking boat. Killdisk Method is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280293
Thanks again for your help, all. Love XDA <3

Killdisk didn't work either. Guessing my card is fried, but I'll still try a Nokia if I can find one.

I also tried to install Yukis Mango 7720 but not with good result.
Does this 7720 work in any HD2...
Ubuntu doesn't do anything if you add your WP7 SD card to reader.
Win7 shows that you have "Removable Disk" but if you try to access it Windows says "unable something....".
I thought that I have also two fried SD card because this 7720 testing.
But Nokia E51 format successfully both cards )

i have an old Nokia 3650 and a few cards that mango has ruined. Now if I can just find the plug for the nokia......wonder if it will format them ?

Just got my 32 class 4 SanDisk in the mail. How do I release the card in tmous hd2 and add 32 to set up dual boot droid. Reflash from start.... Awww lawd! Took all night! Can I hard rest with no card and do it with cabssnder to partition card and card unlock and party with rum tonite?

What an absolute disaster the BTTF Yuki rom is...It is inevitable, most will lose their sd cards, it cost me $45 to replace. Could we put a BIG warning up for these roms, GUARANTEED to destroy your SD card? Because it will, at some point for sure, you will reload the rom and that's when the fun starts..AVOID AT ALL (cough) Costs...

You are completely entitled to your opinion and to post it here.
Many people have successfully upgraded to Mango and have not posted here at all.

I'm sorry, did not intend to knock the rom, the rom is excellent, the concern, it will ultimately cause you much duress as to the sd card at some point, that's my only point. Not many folk expect to lose the sd card after installing... and reinstalling...yes, there are work arounds, but, they entail, much ado and worst case, nokia.kodaj devices...there should be a MASSIVE warning as to SD card...yes, the small print offers cabs and tinkering to avoid the 'lock', but most of us don't expect any such chicanery.-)

Installing WP7.5 Mango

So here is my questions...
1. Is it possible to install WP7.5 without sd card? because when i tried once it burned my sd card and not there is no way to recovery it with revive way that are mentioned here cause i can't find the sd neither on phone, neither from computer i had checked disk management and is not there i sure sd card is dead, so i dont want to take risk it again with the 32 gb card that i bought.
When i tried to install i went successfully to Windows Phone 7 build 7004 XBmod-Yuki ROM v2 but when i trying to install update with this way (http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/09/16/how-to-install-windows-phone-7-5-mango-7720-on-htc-hd2-video/) i have various problems... sometimes its freeze on loading screen sometimes and sometimes its failing to update... so my next question is...
2. Can someone make a step-by-step tutorial to update it?
Thanks in advance

It's not possible to flash WP7 without an SD card.
Here is a guide to install Back to the Future. I don't use it but many have. If you don't feel confidant installing it, you should try one of the other, non-updateable ROMs. They are much easier to install. There's a good guide here Just make sure you have the right Radio, MAGLDR 1.13 and the ROM you want to use

hmm thnks i see that video tutorial (my link) was missing some parts... I will try this with the 1 gb sd card

Look at my thread for TMOUS TIPS. It talks extensively about how to unlock sd card after you discover it doesn't work with your phone. HARD RESET AND UNLOCKER APP. It is not a big deal that the install fails cause you can always go back to earlier version by reflashing. SEE MY POST ON TIPS!!!!

I have the same problem b4....But I found that I put my 32g sd with nokia mophone....after that can recoverd...sorry for my poor En..Hope U understand,or U can try to format with a digital camera..I didn try.I like to know result.

Memory Card Not Working

Hey guys im a noob and i tried flashing [ROM][24 LANGS] 02.04.12 HD2O© v2.00b5 WP7 TANGO 8773 FULLY UNLOCKED [ONLINE]
i put it usb flasher mode then clicked on the exe and everything went fine until the very end and it said some errors happened.
i then did a battery pull cuz i panicked and then i turned it on and it boots and everything but then it comes up with a screen saying memory card not working and i cant get it to go away
i did have a kingston card in it while i flashed the rom.
was that my problem?
Please help

some errors....
which errors???
did you format to FAT32 in computer before insert in HD2
did you set "UseLast24NAND" and "ClearSD MDR" in MAGLDR before flashing?
also many sdcards not supported by WP7....

i bought the phone and it was already on windows phone 7 all i did was plug it in and flash the new one
and i dont remember the errors because i closed the program but they were during the partition 4 and the progress bar was like - far from the end

if WP7 already installed and if this WP7 is Yuki (BTTF) ROM, card is locked and you must first unlock card to use it on others WP7 ROM's

the guy said it was on the 1st Windows Phone 7 rom available for US Devices if that helps

i figured out what my issue was everyone.
for some reason there was an error in the flashing process which i talked about that let the phone boot normally but it said the sd card was damaged
so what i did to fix it was all i did was put it back in usb mode and i flashed it again this time it was successful now it works great =]
i was scared ****less for awhile lol

put sdcard in PC card reader and check... if not readable, is locked...
