at last wrote somebody something I can understand ... it seems to me very complicated to find out something on this forum when somebody is android newbie.
I have only one question. Could I create ext3 partition in clock work recovery ? Is this android rom able to recognize it and work with it. I have american android 2.3.7 and Im not able to make this partition work in this ROM and thats why I have very small internal memory
BTW is this ROM stable with everything working ?

I partitioned my SD in CWM and haven't experienced any problems (with Typhoon CM7) so I would guess you'll be fine

so if I do this:
2. PARTITION YOUR STORAGE CARD FOR A2SD ROMS (IF REQUIRED)
NOTE1: Setting up a partition on your Storage Card will allow A2SD compatable Roms to automatically install apps to this partition rather than using your phones internal memory. This is useful for people that have alot of apps to install and for people who want to flash a Sense Rom and wont have much internal memory left.
NOTE2: Once you create an A2SD partition on your Storage Card all information will be lost so make sure to backup everything to your pc so it can be copied back after. The accessible space on your Storage Card will be made smaller by the amount of the partition you set up so only make it as big as you need make it huge if you dont have many apps to install)
1. Boot into the Clockwork Mod menu
2. Go down to 'Advanced' and select (by pressing 'Call Button')
3. Select 'Partition SD Card'
4. Select Size of required partition not sure then 1024M is a good size)
5. Make ABSOLUTELY sure you want to continue and then select 0M Swap Size
Your Storage Card will now be partitioned with the size you selected.
ALL DATA ON YOUR STORAGE CARD WILL BE LOST!!
-------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
3. FLASHING A CWM (CLOCKWORK MOD) ROM
1. Connect your phone to your pc via the USB Cable
2. In the Clockwork Mod main menu select 'wipe data/factory reset' and then 'Yes' on the next screen
3. When the data wipe is complete, select 'install zip from sd card' in the main menu
4. Go down to 'choose zip from sdcard' and select
5. Scroll down to your CWM Rom (which you should have copied to the Root of your Storage Card) and select it
6. Select 'Yes' from the options and wait until you get a message saying 'Install from sdcard complete'
Note: You can repeat steps 3-5 if you have more zips to install such as gps data or screen mods
7. Once finished press the 'Back' button to get to the previous menu screen
8. Select 'reboot system now' to restart your phone and your Android Rom should boot
9. Once Android has booted and you have gone through the setup screens, LONG PRESS the 'End' button and select reboot to reboot your phone to avoid possible FC (Force Close) problems
then should be my EXT3 partition working normally with this ROM ? And Im not gonna have any problem with insufficient internal memory ?

Yep First make a backup of your ROM in CWM, then copy the contents of your SD card to your PC. This is extremely important as partitioning WILL delete all SD contents. Copy the contents of the SD card back over and I think you would be fine as none of the internal stuff would be deleted. Boot up and see how it works. If everything is deleted, simply restore the backup and you're done

Version 1.3 still has a few bugs, you can read about them in the given topic. I'm testing this rom on Saturdays and until then I'm very satisfied

Im afraid that this instructions is working only with typhoon CM7 but not with NexusHD2-ICS-CM9. There is whole thread on how to run ext3 partition in this build but it is too complicated for me.
I just need simple instructions and active download links for programs I need to installation but I think I could just dream about it.
Typhoon CM7 clockwork recovery 3.0.2.5 150MB/5Mb download link is dead. 50 Percent of links on this forum are dead. I tried to download it by using google but it was futile.
Where could I get it ?

I have written a simple guide that may help you.

Hi Arti,
I was going through the details for this ROM on the same thread. There are some references to issues in

Any experience overcoming these ? I am really confused which ROM to go for.
I just found this website http://android.hd2roms.com/ having several ROM links.

I dont know the Stock MIUI ROM but If everything is working and there is not any problem with internal memory then Im gonna try it
it is really hard to choose the suitable NAND ROM for HD2 because there is too wide selection so it is hard for newbie to pick one.
I had american android 2.3.7 SD and I liked it but problem was battery drain.

Stick to MIUI and CM7 ROMs in my opinion, Sense isn't fast (despite what people say, the Sense UI is a RAM hog and doesn't flow very well, even on the Desire S that my brother has) and these have no issues (camcorder on Sense is buggy). Battery drain will be far better on any NAND ROM compared to an SD ROM, and as long as you partition your SD card there won't be any issues with storage.

This is my fourth ROM Im trying to install and I have always failed because of dead downloads links
I would like this one because of the good install instructions
Witch CLK should I install ? 1,4 or 1,5? Witch one do you recommend ?

Awesome...
Dear All,
Many thanks for your links and suggestions.
This is what made me a happy man. May be it is useful for others.
1) Downgraded from HSPL 3.03 to HSPL 2.08 from HSLP4.exe
Step by Step Guide
Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
It will load into ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen bootloader.
You can see your HTC HD2 SPL version there.
Connect USB cable from PC to phone.
Serial status will be turned into USB.
At PC, right click on HSPL4.exe and select ‘Run as administrator’.
Click ‘Yes’ if User Access Control prompt up.
Follow onscreen instructions to install.
Do make sure that you select 2.08.HSPL.
After installation, you should see ‘We hacked it!’ on your phone.
That’s all.
2) Download Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 from http://www.wupload.in/file/2649215467/Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14.rar
and
Install RADIO from here http://android.dkszone.net/install-radio-rom-htc-hd2-flash-radio-rom
3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044830
FLASH CLOCKWORK MOD TO YOUR DEVICE from Recovery_250M_system_10M_cache_v3.0.2.4_.zip
NOTE: There are 3 CWM images attached at the bottom of this thread. You only need to install 1 of the images depending on what type of Android Rom you want to flash. The larger the size of the CWM Partition the less space there will be left for programs installed to your phone.
150MB Partition - For lite Roms without Sense such as CM7. Gives most internal space on your phone for apps
250MB Partition - Standard size Roms or squashed Sense Roms
400MB Partition - Full Sense Roms. Hardly any internal space for apps. 512ROM Leo's will need A2SD external partition set up
If you arent sure which size you need then check the first few posts of the Rom you want to flash as it will usually tell you which size partition it needs.
1. Download the CWM Partition you require and extract it to a new folder on your pc
2. Connect your phone to your pc via the USB Cable
3. Restart your phone and HOLD DOWN the 'End Button' (far right) until the Magldr Menu appears
4. Keep pressing the 'Volume Down' button to goto Option 5. USB Flasher and press the 'Call Button' (far left) to select it
*The screen should now say Wait USB...USB*
5. Run DAF.exe (Right Click and Run As Administrator if you have Vista or Windows 7) in the folder you extracted the image to and follow the intructions on your pc to start flashing
6. After flashing the phone will reboot. HOLD DOWN the 'End Button' (far right) until the Magldr Menu appears
To start Clockwork Mod keep pressing the 'Volume Down' button to goto Option 8. AD Recovery and press the 'Call Button' (far left) to select it
NOTE: If the Rom demands a different size CWM then you can download any of the attached sizes, then extract the contents and edit the flash.cfg file with Notepad. Change the sizes on the following lines depending on what you need:
system ya ***M (partition size)
cache ya **M (cache size)
4) FLASHING A CWM (CLOCKWORK MOD) ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354267
First NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta10.zip
and then
NexusHD2-Kernel_2.6.32.15_tytung_ics_r1-MAGLDR-update.zip
1. Connect your phone to your pc via the USB Cable
2. In the Clockwork Mod main menu select 'wipe data/factory reset' and then 'Yes' on the next screen
3. When the data wipe is complete, select 'install zip from sd card' in the main menu
4. Go down to 'choose zip from sdcard' and select
5. Scroll down to your CWM Rom (which you should have copied to the Root of your Storage Card) and select it
6. Select 'Yes' from the options and wait until you get a message saying 'Install from sdcard complete'
Note: You can repeat steps 3-5 if you have more zips to install such as gps data or screen mods
7. Once finished press the 'Back' button to get to the previous menu screen
8. Select 'reboot system now' to restart your phone and your Android Rom should boot
9. Once Android has booted and you have gone through the setup screens, LONG PRESS the 'End' button and select reboot to reboot your phone to avoid possible FC (Force Close) problems
NOTE: The first boot of your Rom will take alot longer than subsequent boots so leave it and give it time (15 minutes max)
IMPORTANT: If anything goes wrong, start fresh (DELETE EVERYTHING) from Wipe HTC HD2 Toolkit (HD2ToolKit4.2.0.1.zip)

There are few issues (faced till now) with NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta10 (Android 4.0.3) ROM
- No Video
- No Signature feature in Exchange Mail
- Camera hangs
- Gallery hangs sometimes. -- Solved by installing Real Player and opening images from there.
- Backlight seems dim even when full brightness is selected.
- I could not find an option to disable vibration in keyboard. -- Solved by "Go Keyboard" from Market. So far it is working perfectly.
Other than these, I am in love with my HD2.
Please suggest if there are any solutions to these.

I do not use Google Maps. But I turned down for a while and act as they should.
As for the camera - the camera is working, but I have a problem with the video recording. However, this is the solution to the first page of ROM which I sent to you.
- FB - I read about this problem but to be honest, this synchronization is not necessary to me.
I did not use this site. I checked only the most popular threads on xda. And I also just looked Android 4.0

Well you clearly haven't read enough! All of these threads show that flashing a .50 radio unlocks the 576 MB RAM. For f**k's sake, stop posting stupid questions in the Q&A when there have been a tonne of them, just use the search and read properly. It isn't hard.

assuming you mean you flashed magldr, but it doesnt start magldr? just goes to splash screen?
If yes, then either hspl is wrong or radio is wrong.
hspl MUST be 2.08.hspl - enter bootloader and check the spl line.

yo, i wrote this once to another guy per pn. think its still up to date. could be possible that i messed up some facts hehe

Hi. thats not that difficult.
Best thing is you read HERE CAREFULLY
But i am trying to explain it easy for you:
First you need to be sure you have the following "things" installed correctly:
1.) Prepare your Mobile
HSPL 2.08 (to be able to flash MAGLRD)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5279234&postcount=1
Radio 2.50.15.14 (which supports 576MB RAM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
MAGLDR 1.13 Bootloader (to be able to install Clockwork Mod)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893618
Recovery (Clockwork Mod; i prefer the Touch version)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419733
For ICS you need at least 200MB system partition (Recovery Layout; the space from your NAND (intern memory) for your ROM file). Means you have to edit the flash.cfg coming with MAGLDR before flashing the CWM; do this with Notepad++:
I am using following config (flash.cfg):
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 220M
cache ya 5M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
Now you are prepared for installing a ROM. In your case ICS.
2.) Flash ROM
Download the .zip file for your ROM. There are two versions. CLK (just another Bootloader) and MAGLDR. We are using MAGLDR. So download it here:
[15.Jan.2012] NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860
Now you just need to copy the ROM .zip on your SD-Card. Then load into Bootloader (MAGLDR) and choose point 8. for your Recovery (CWM).
Now, if you had another rom installed, you need to wipe all cache and data including the Dalvik Cache (under Advanced).
Then install your .zip file with "install zip from sd" and wait. Done. Restart your mobile
3.) Install DATA2SD
IF you want to use DATA2SD (means to store apps and system relevant data on your sd-card) you have to create an EXT-Partition on your SD-CARD.
Just do this with CWM, there is an option for it (should be something like "Partition your SD-Card"). I am using 1GB partition with 0MB swap.
Once you have done this navigate to this thread and do EXACTLY what that guy wrote in post #207. But instead of using the file from post #207 use the flashable file from post #174 (40ad2sdx-a2Recovery.zip).
If you did it correctly you are done
And again, for additional info read THIS COMPLETLY.
Have fun

thanks again my friend ok i do all the step
i have the 2.08hspl....and i have also the task29 affter that the MAGLDR113 work fine......
now i chose the USB flasher mode i know that .the probleme is if i can flash the rom without sd card or not ?

you flash the partition layout (and cwm) through usb flasher, then flash teh rom from sd.

Bloody hell, can't you do anything yourself? Are you completely incapable of typing a question into Google!?
Boot into CWM recovery and select partition SD card, choose 1024Mb partition and 0Mb swap. This will delete everything on your SD card though.

If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all, i think is better to ask google to ask some new mombre hiere. because your solution dont work and if a choose 1024mb partition i cant format my sd card and i cant copie the rom inside
but with 512M partition all work but phone reboot affter update .thanks to all
and big thanks to samsameul

For MAGLDR up to 1.13, booting from SDCard (SD-files version):
Download the file attached
Extract the files to the root directory of your sdcard
Start recovery within MAGLDR with menu point "AD SD"
Recovery should start
You're done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but all I got is
SD kernel open failed

SD card is 8GB, class 4 (I suppose). Cant swear how exactly it was formatted, used gparted default options.
Any help appreciated

This probably isn't the answer you were looking for, but cLK 1.5 supports repartitioning on the device. It can also be installed via sd card. It's aim (amongst other things) is to completely remove the need of a PC, in case you have a broken USB port.
cLK thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114053&page=96

The only thing that is holding me back from clk is the rmnet issue. I will probably find a pc and do the re-part that way, or try with a smaller, freshly formatted 2 gb SD card.
will report if I succeed with the SD mgldr method.

MAGLDR + Recovery
When you are flashing the recovery (after flashing the MAGLDR), there is a flash.cfg file (text-file), which configures the partitioning. You can simply change the corresponding values before flashing.

I know that. The problem is that the kernel, which should boot the install procedure of CWM( and the process of re-partitioning) never actuall starts...

[Q] Desperatley need help ....

Hello everyone..
I have a real quick question..
1) Used HD2Toolkit4.2.0.1 and performed Wipe (task29)
2) With HD2Toolkit, installed HSPL (bootload shows SPL-2.0.8.HSPL)
3) With HD2Toolkit, installed MAGLDR (reboot and phone goes into MAGDLR)
Heres the problem
1) Go into bootloader and try to install Recovery_v1.3_150 but program does not recognize usb connection. (failed install)
2) Go into MAGDLR and go down to #5 USB Flasher and computer is not recognizing connection between phone and computer.
3) Went into bootloader (bootloader shows "usb" and Tried to install DFT android flasher for HTC LEO but install fails saying: "usb init failed".
4) On MAGDLR screen, i go down to #8 AD Recovery and screen says : No boot sources
What am i doing wrong and why isnt computer acknowledging usb connection with phone and installing progs i need to flash new rom. (using windows 7 ultimate)
I previously performed my first flash to this phone yesterday and everything went just fine. Someone with the know-how please tell me what i am doing wrong and what i should do to complete this properly.
(trying to install Coredroid ONE X)
Thank You

Ok i have figured out how to get clockwordmod recovery installed as well as DFT nanddroid.
but now i am having a problem getting coredroid v3.6 installed. when i use clockworkmod, i partition the sd card using 1024 and 0. then i mount usb, transfer over coredroid v3.6.zip into new temporary F.Drive. After, i install zip from sdcard then choose zip from sdcard. The program locates coredroid and ask to install rom and i execute command. the flash process begins. Once rom is finished loading it freezes up and i have to remove battery. Rom is lost at this point and it goes back into MAGDLR.
What is the problem at this point. ?

What partition size did you use and what is recommended for CoreDroid? Make sure this is correct, otherwise the ROM won't boot.

Don't use MAGLDR's USB Mass Storage, use an SD reader.

@ NIGELDG - Perhaps its the partitition size that could be the problem. But this is the partition i use from the Coredroid instructions.
Using ClockworkMod :
Goto Partition SD Card menu.Select maximum 1024m. (which is recommended from coredroid instructions),then it says to Select the 0m .
@ MARVLESZ - Its not Mass usb storage that im using:
Using ClockworkMOD :
I go to mount USB storage
A new drive is mounted to your PC.
Navigate to MyComputer and open the new drive (ex: F: E: G: etc…)
Go to the HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.12 folder
Copy the HD2_Core_DroidDesire_HD_V1.12.zip to the HD2 sd card root (the new mounted drive ex: F.
When finished copying , i unmount then:
“-install zip from sdcard”, and press call button (left).
“-choose zip from sdcard”, and press call button (left).
Select the CoreDroid_V*.*.zip, and let it install.
Problem is that it will sometimes install 46% of rom then freeze up.
Other times it will load the entire rom up, say its complete then freeze up and not let me continue with reboot.
(Even though the instructions say this is what you use to install coredroid HD2 with, when reading the instructions it says this is for coredroid desire)
Which instructions should i use or what step am i not doing correctly?

not that type of partition, thats the ext partition. He means the system partition size you chose when you installed CWM, , that determines which roms you can flash, the rom tells you in post 1 (or 2) teh size you need.

phone feel warm lower back at all? try chilling it in teh fridge for twenty minutes, see if a flash goes all teh way through. (after first confirming the system partition size as mentioned)

ok.. ill try that.. thank you

Help once again....
Where can i locate the necessary partition needed to successfully install coredroid . ?? Do i partition it with HDToolkit? or clockworkmod?
I know that clockworkmod recovery performs an sd card partition but according the coredroid DHD instructions it says to partition 1024 and then 0 (dont understand the reason for this partition) Each time i follow the coredroid instructions, the farthest i get is to installing the rom but once its reached 100% and says to continue for reboot, the phone freezes and i cannot reboot. when i take the battery out to reboot, it goes back to clockwork (or is it magdlr, but no coredroid rom is loaded.
If ANYONE that has flashed: HD2 CoreDroid GB 2.3.5 V3.7 & Froyo 1.8 , PLEASE find the time to give me the step-by-step on which partition size (what program to partition it-HD2toolkit i presume) and the necessary steps to install this correctly. ill send you a cyber case of ShockTop or Heineken.

The 1024 and 0 refer to creating the ext partition on the SD card through cwm,,, namely 1gb ext and 0 swap.
What you need is the partition size needed for the system partition. It will tell you in post 1 of that roms thread,, usually something like " 5/150/5" and in this case you use the toolkit,, choose 150 on the left, put 5 in the cache box below, then click repartition.

ok so with that being said:
1) Load Hdtoolkit
2) Perform task 29 wipe
3) With HDTK, partition 150 and cache 5 (if according to threads recommendation for particular rom)
4) (im assuming i wont have to reinstall HSPL 2.08 correct)
5) With HDTK install MAGDLR
6) Install clockworkmod rec. (not from HDTK)
7) load clockwork and partition EXT 1024 and 0
8) Load rom from zip
9) that should be it.?
Anything im missing or anything i should add? And what if i like my current rom better than the new rom i just installed. Anyway of preserving that? or just install it again?

Pretty much, but a few notes...
2) no need to task29 99 times in 100. Only if you are having real troubles. Its rarely needed, and just increases odds of getting bad blocks.
3) 5) and 6)
Performing the partition installs cwm at the same time, and no need to reinstall magldr (unless you lost it by doing task29)
if you did the steps you listed, step 3 couldn't work (because no magldr) and would be pointless anyway, because step 6 is exactly the same as step 3. "Partitioning" and "installing cwm) are the same thing.
4) correct, Hspl and the radio are two things you needn't worry about unless you flash a stock winmo rom.

problem partitioning
Ok... im going to give it a shot with installing this new rom.
Ran into a snag though... coredroid says the following:
boot 10
system 180
cache 10
Now ive just done a task29 with HDTOOLKIT.. (successful wipe).
Ive placed phone in bootloader
With HDtoolkit - MAGDLR Repartition set at 200 (since there is no 180) and Cache is set at 10. ( i dont see boot on tooklit)
Execute Repartition BUT DFT is stating: (USB init failed)
(bootloader on phone says USB)
Whats the problem or what am i not doing right or missing?.

ok samsamuel.
1) i tasked 29.. (sorry didnt catch your other post about overwiping the phone)
2) checked to make sure hspl is one the phone still (bootloader)
3) kept phone in bootloader mode (shows USB connection)
4) selected MAGDLR Repartition on HD2TK
5) Set System Partition at 200 (since 180 is not avavilable as stated on coredroid page one )
6) Set Cache at 10 (according to coredroid)
7) Executed Repartition.
8) DFT tries to parttition phone but says USB Init Failed.
Where is the problem here?

You can set 180 by choosing custom at end of sizes list.
Phone should be in magldr - USB flasher mode, not bootloader.

Ok ive done everything according to what has to be done... thanks a million guys..!!!! BUT!!!
1) installation completed.
2) Rom says to REBOOT NOW
3) Pressed green call button to confirm
4) Screen says: Thanks and enjoy your new firmware with FINISH button at bottom.
5) Try to execute FINISH button but seems as though screen is frozen.
Anyone who has installed this rom before, is this common? Should i wait?
Each time it does this, I remove the battery and it goes back to MAGDLR.
Help please!!

ok... ive got it...!!!! ive figured out that the coredroid ONE rom must not be compatible with the hd2.. but when i ran coredroid DHD v3.7 it installed automatically...
i really want to say thank you to all you guys that pitched in with helping an old geezer like me. i know your time is more important, but you were considerate enough to give a hand. it was truly appreciated!! Thanks again Samsamuel....

Thanks a lot, securecrt and Xylograph!
I What is "NativeSD"
As the name shows, the SD card now do what native storage do. In other words, we can leave the nand and done almost everthing with one SD card!
II Benifits of NativeSD
1. Common benifits
Don't need to worry about bad blocks in nand, no need to adjust system size。
2. On premise of large storage of SD card
The partition used as native storage can be very large duo to your SD card(<32GB).
Muilt ROMs(wm,wp,androids)
3. On premise of fast SD card
Faster Read/Write speed than NAND ROMs,better。
III Install ROM
1. Prepare
*1）Android rom that support NativeSD, cellphone(LEO,with SD card, battery>50%), computer,cable,4EXT recovery
*2)Backup all your data on SD card(if you want to keep it).
2.magldr users
1)This is the case that you download the SD version of 4EXT recovery.
copy the unziped files to you fold "a" in your SD card.("a" is just a sign,can be any name,just make sure the folder is in the root directory of SD card)Notice: please make sure these files are in the root directory of "a",not any sub folder:clcad.exe,haret.exe,initrd.gz,startup.txt,zImage

How to uninstall one of the nativesd rom.
Regards
Rui

Thank you very much!!

Can't boot
I made EXT4 partition, and instaled Magldr, and than instaled WM ROM, and copied EXT4SD recovery (first one on list), extract, and use folder '4EXTRecovery' and paste to SD card root, and now, what to do(?) how to get in recovery mod, or, how to get to Magldr menu? Please help

NativeSD without flashing MAGLDR or cLK?
my background:
I use Android ICS and MIUI on Leo HTC HD2, booting from SD-Card using haret.exe in WM6.5.
I can't flash my device with MAGLDR or cLK, because it's leased and I have to return it back in some time with the original WM6.5.
Now my question:
Can I use native SD instead of "standart SD", because I hope it's faster, wihthout flashing any custom boot loader and destroing the original OS?
If I got it right, flashing a MAGLDR or cLK erases the complete device (except of HSPL and radio), right?
The only thing I dared to do before, was to flash the HSPL and a Radio Update, because this didn't touched the WM6.5.
I came so far to create a EXT4 and a FAT32 partitions on my SD-Card (32MB, Class 10) with "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 7.6". Then I downloaded the 4EXT Recovery and booted it from WM6.5 with haret.exe, but now I'm stucked.
All I got is, the 4EXT Recovery do the same job as this MiniTool. It makes partitions on my SD-Card.
I planed to install NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.1 ROM as NativeSD, but I'm afraid I can't do this without flashing the MAGLDR or cLK and erasing the WM6.5
Any help?

thanks for the guide

OK, I helped myself. Thanks!
Partitioned the SD-Card with 4EXT-Recovery again. Created 2 EXT4 partitions 2 GB each, the rest (25 GB) goes for the FAT32 partition.
Then installed the "NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.1 ROM".ZIP (was an AROMA installer) from FAT32 partition and it worked!
Altough it's all very slow and the second EXT4 partition is unused. don't know why the recovery aked my to create one.

"I What is "NativeSD"
As the name shows, the SD card now do what native storage do. In other words, we can leave the nand and done almost everthing with one SD card!"
I'm REALLY new here so this might be a naive question but does that mean we'll be able to run WM 6.5 and WP 7 in a dual boot configuration now? From what I've heard they can only be installed on the HD2's NAND leaving room for either or, but since you say that NativeSD can do whatever the native storage does I thought it might be possible to run them direct off the SD?

Thank you for this guide.
