hello, i got a 4gb sd card which works perfectly with magldr (1.13) and im enjoying a custom rom on my hd2 for a few months now
now, i recently got a 16 gb sd card and i tried to flash in various roms such as BoxmaX.S3.5.v6.0
but every time i turn on the phone it get stuck in various loading phases (most of them in the android/htc logo)
but when im using my old card everythings works great with the old rom, i dont want to overwrite it if it is not necessary
i formatted the new card several times and yet the problem stays the same.
i would appreciate your help.
every sd card isn't good for android. avoid using cheap, low-quality cards. i think sandisk is the best for hd2.
Are you using sd-ext?
If i was you i would task 29, reformat the sd card using panasonic sd formatter and use slow erase (better reliablity), reinstall magdlr, and download your choice of recovery for your rom.
reboot into magdlr and go to cwm and mount sd. It should pop up
worked for me for i have a 16 gig as well.
also you have to make sure what the system partion of your rom is as well. otherwise bootloops will commence.
let me know how it goes!
thank you

thank you very much
i did as you said, task 29, reformat with the formatter reinstall magldr and it works, the problem is that it is painfully slow now and it freezes for a minute now and than.
You can't 'flash' that ROM since it is an SD ROM (if I am not mistaken).
Their are different class SD cards, some are faster than others. However I do not know the numbers..

For some reason, I've put clockworkmod on my device and always use it to flash.
I have a 16gb Sandisk memory card, which at first worked fine with it.
All of a sudden, a Gingerbread ROM claimed the card to be corrupt?! So, I used Gingerbread to format.
Tried to do an update, and now the card isn't recognised by the A2SD setting of MAGDLR 1.1. I have to use a 4gb to flash now.
I tried formatting the 16gb card in windows (fat 32, 32k sizes), reapply the cwkmd files to the card, but still, MAGDLR won't load it.
Any ideas :-/

Did you do a quick format or a full format? If Quick, plz do a full, and try again.
Also, don't use the right-click format method. Go into disk management and do it there. Not promising anything - it's just better.
I found a bug in MAGLDR in my case. It would try and load CWM by K:\Recov\zImage then would write S and boot back to MAGLDR main menu. So here's what I did:
- Boot MAGLDR
- Click Load AD SD (Fails)
- Remove SD card while booted
- Click Load AD SD (fails again obviously)
- Put SD back in
- Click Load AD SD (Works)
Try that. Seems like an MAGLDR bug to be honest, because after setting the SD path, you can't edit it again... Even after flashing MAGLDR back to the phone (I've tried). I guess flashing stock WinMo then flashing back MAGLDR could fix the issue, but I haven't bothered.
I seldom have problems with MicroSD Cards, then again, I usually tend to buy Class 2 MicroSD cards that perform higher than Class 2 in terms of sequential writes. So, my MicroSD card writes at 7.x MB/s although it is a Class 2.
Anyways, try using a WIPE application, something that ZEROES out the whole card. Like the SD Formatter 3.0 (Beta) for SD/SDHC/SDXC. For me, I prefer to use [email protected] Disk.
Once the card is ZEROED out, just use your GParted to Partition it, if you need to. If not, just do a full format in Windows.
Ultimate Boot CD is an ISO which has a USB Script. So you just extract the ISO, then run the CD2USB script to make a bootable USB Flash Drive with a lot of useful tools.

I had the same issue - 8GB MicroSD. Tried manual formatting, re-setting the card TNA. [email protected] Disk did not work either, but SD Formatter 3.0 worked perfectly!
Thanks a lot for this tip!
There are a few steps you can try to get your card working again.
1 - Full format, I know it has been mentioned but it is surprising how much a full format can help
2 - Try a non Microsoft tool like 'Panasonic SD Formatter', google it. I wipes out any partitions as well.
3 - 'Partition Wizard' for Windows. This is a great alternative to Gparted but for Windows and free.
4 - If all these fail, then it dont hurt to try Gparted, I dont see it will help but you never know.
All of those failing and it is a new card, get a refund.
I recently bought a 16GB from Ebay and they sent refund without even asking for the card back so I know you can get some dodgy Micro SD Cards.
Good luck
Yep - the Panasonic SD formatter fixed it using a Full 0's write! Many thanks to all.
update your magldr to 1.12 and try it it worked for me using 16gb class 2
YOU MIGHT want to RESET your device in NAND
that could also help when troubles arrive

I had a problem getting CWM to load also. It finally worked once I deleted the volume name and reformatted.
Hi all,
I have been using windows phone 7 for a couple of weeks and would like to flash back to Android NAND.
Does anyone have a guide on how to do this?
Thanks

Ummm flash back to stock rom 6.5 and then flash Android - unless wm7 is stuck once installed...
this should help ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920035
Thanks for the reply.
Can I just boot into MAGDLR and then USB flash NAND build as per normal? Do I need to do anything special with the memory card (i know windows phone 7 does weird stuff to it and dont want to nuke it...)
Cheers
I think you have to reformat your SD card, as WP7 makes your SD unusable untill you have formated it

Ok cheers
How do I do thins? When I connect the windows 7 hd2 to the pc it doesn't see the memory card.
When i flash to android, will i then be able to see the memory card and reformat as normal?
Also as above, am I ok to just reflash via MAGLDR straight from windows 7 to Android NAND? Or do I need to flash back to stock wm6.5 and then reflash to Android NAND?

Put sd card into card reader on pc and format it there. You can use Panasonic SD Formatter (search xda for it)
You should be fine to flash to Android from WP7, I did this but to be safe I also ran a Task29 first.

Either that or put it in an SD card extender and put that inside a digital camera. Then do a "low level format". That would do it.
hmm whats a task29?
Im begining to think it may be easier to flash back to wm6.5 then flash to NAND Android
Task29 formats the NAND area where the roms are flashed to, so you start with a clean base. You can use this tool the do it and it is so simple (much easier than flashing to a stock rom again and then hspl and radio etc etc IMHO). Just be aware that as Task29 formats the rom when the phone reboots there is no rom to boot into, but just boot into bootloader and then flash magldr and then your Android rom.
Either way though you will still need to reformat the sd card after running WP7.
OK
So I flashed a NAND Android ROM, all went well and boots fine. The computer can now see the 16gb memory card in the HD2 but says its only 200mb (I think windows 7 must have used the rest)
When I format it in Windows (whilst its still in the phone - i dont have a card reader), it doesnt free anymore space than the 200mb.
Any thoughts how i can get the remained 15gb back?

You can format it using a digital camera if you have one that takes sd cards (put the micro sd into the sd card adaptor). If you don't have one then you will need to get yourself a card reader in order to format the card.
Or you could use a partitioning program, delete the 15gb unknown partition and then create a fat32 partition.
Hello guys.
I have a HTC HD2 running Windows Phone 7 (on MagLdr 1.2).
I want to DualBoot Android AND WPH. Ive watched a tut on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTHRAUHZHlo
I did exactly the same and after that i took this Android DesireHD Built: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881937
It worked fine but android said, that there isnt a sd card in the device. Of course it is, cuz android boots from the sd card. When i remove my sd card, android freezes (of course). I tried to restart and i put the 512 MB data.img in the folder but there was the same problem again..
I tried it with an other card and i pushed the button "mount sd card"
and than it said "u can take out the sd card now" (or something like that)
Plz help me!
I am having the exact same problem. Have you found the problem/solution to it.
thanks.
you both update you magldr that should fix your issues.
so get newest radio, than flsh magldr 1.3
before you update make a complete backup!!
hope you both have the right partition layout on sd card.
(first partition must be fat32 second ext3 or ext4)
hope this helps.
for tut look at forums or pm me!!
Can someone describe the exact steps that are required to mount the SD card when the Android build is being run off the SD card using MAGLDR.

They are running Android from their SD card. It is not going to show a SD card being in the device because Android thinks the SD card is the device......

This will not help them at all, MAGLDR just serves as the bootloader for Android not the OS.
Allso you can not remove your SD card will booted into Android if you are using a SD card build it is running of the SD card not NAND.

So basically I cannot mount the SD card, no matter how it is formatted ?
I totally have this same problem. Neither WP7 or Droid will read the 16 GB card I'm using to run Droid. I think I'm using the DesireHD build also, maybe its that? I can probably see if changing it makes a difference.
I have the same problem. First time i installed WP7 and android, everything was working fine. Then i had to reset WP7 because it kept freezing, i followed the same steps again to dual boot with android and it booted fine but SD CARD is not mounted for some reason. I have tried 3 different android builds with same problem. Any help or tutorials?

This happened to me too with two SD cards. What I did was I run the Partition SD Card from AD Recovery. I forgot the partition layout, just find something that works for you. I was surprised that it has successfully created a partition...this erased everything so I needed to re-copy ROM files to SD card via Card Reader on my PC.
When I did it over, It finally worked. Am now running Sensation XL ROM.
HTH
Hey folks,
I had a great working installation of DFT's original WP7 running on my Euro HD2. But then I decided to try out the new Android Gingerbread with Sense 2.1. That ROM had a couple of critical things not working so I decided to go back to WP7. But now when i try to install WP7 it give me an error message. The things i have tried are
1. Formatted the phone with Task 29 and also repartitioned and formatted the SD card with FAT 32. This is the same SD card that I was using earlier also with WP7.
2. Re-installed Magldr 1.13.
3. Tried installing WP7
4. I have tried installing a stock Win 6.5 ROM after performing a Task 29.
5. I can install Android ROM's and WinMO 6.5 ROM's without any problems.
None of the above steps have helped.
The error i get while installing is as follows
An error has occurred
Read below for more information
Error Description: send d000ff partition data failed
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (1279)
Error Description: block send fail
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (962)
Error Description: flash write failed.
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (710)
This error is happening with all WP7 ROM's. I have tried at least 4 different WP7 ROM's and they all give me this error.
Anybody have any idea on what may causing this problem?
TIA.
try to begin form the start
hard format your SD card
tsk29....wm6.5
flash radio 2.12
hard spl 2,8?!?!?!?
and use Magldr 1.12
...wp7..
try this steps mate hope it works for you...
Have tried all this except re-flashing the radio. Will try again in this particular sequence. Thanks a lot. Cheers.
Hey buddy,
did you got any answer for that issue ??
i am having same issue...
Strange, but i heard this issues mostly with indian people... LOL
No, I have not found any solution for it. I have been too busy with work to sit and spend time on this problem. Anyways am presently on Android. Will update this thread if i find a solution.
I wonder why this issue is affecting indian people only too...lol..
partition 4 errors on hd2
I had same issue, using a 8 gb hc class 4 micro sd card. Worked first well, but after while got reboots on w7 and filesystem went corrupt on sd card. Reflashing got me errors on partition 4.
Tried booting w7 rom without micro sd, resulted in fast boot, but not stable w7, due to insuffient memory. Bought a new micro sd card class 10, reflashed w7 and worked nicely.
Looks like w7 is picky about quality of the microsd card. Speed is important.
Maybe your problems get solved with a new sd card.
Good luck!

As per my knowledge,
it has nothing to do with your SD card...
even if u dont use any SD card, its partition 4 from NAND of HD2
so, it states, our NAND memory is corrupted at certain location
I am able to flash roms with 160mb size, but when go towards larger 180 - 190mb roms, i still have same issue
I just switched from a 2.2 version of android to a gingerbread version on my hd2. The problem I am having is that now my phone says SD card damaged. It worked on my old version and is Able to be read when I'm in magldr and use USB mass storage but not on this android. I tried to format in android that didn't work and tried formatting with windows. I don't understand why it can be read sometimes but not others but would appreciate it if someone could help me get this to work or atleast get it to reformat so can be used. Thanks
What exact ROM are you using? Were you running any partitions(EXT3/EXT4).
Gpc_hd2_gingerbread_v1.7
No partitions
what did you use to try and format it in windows? search in the forum for the panasonic sd formatter or google it if you haven't tried using it already.
I have not tried the Panasonic SD formatter I will give it a try at work since my computer is down for the time being. What is the difference between that program and the windows formatting program though?
In simple terms, one does it better than the other.

You also have to consider d possibility dat ur sd card is losing it gradually...My previous 8GB sd card works flawlessly on WinMo but whenever i flash an android build (tried several, same result), it works 4 awhile then mounts as read only or as ur described, sd damaged...a quick 4mat wit panasonic sd formatter wakes it back only for it 2 repeat d process....
I bought another sd card and haven't had any issues wit it watsoever...my old 8gb card still works but i guess its 2 weak for android's constant reading & writing.
Im having the same problem. Card works fine in everything but Android on HD2, NAND not SD Rom.
Ive formatted form Windows but i'll try the Panasonic one as well. If not would a 16GB card be compatible or would it be too big?
The size isn't a problem as long as your phone supports it. Just make sure you format the correct ext size partitions etc...
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
Is there a guide/thread explaining how I go about creating ext size partitions on SD cards & what size etc?
I run off a NAND ROM if that makes any difference?
Sorry i'm new to Android!
I tried the Panasonic formatter but it still says damaged SD. Still works in mass storage mdgrl or whatever it is. And asks to be formatted when I try to use it in XP

You should avoid using mass storage in MAGLDR.
