Hi Therese! Is there a quick and safe way to change to a different android build without having to reinstall everything? Want to try a different one with the same apps and settings I already configured.
Thanks in advance!

You can rename your current android folder and then install a new one. I don't know about maintaining all your pages and settings. But the problem that you run into while installing multiple versions of android is that they may become corrupt and then you start getting SOD's and other errors.
(On a side note: Its been speculated that you can run scan disks on your sd card when it becomes corrupt. But this didn't fix my problem. SOOO, frustrated, I reformatted the SD card and started over. I've settled on Mattc's 1.7.)
I have tried a number of builds and Titanium backup/restore has always worked.

Will try that on the next run...so, what builds did work the best for you? More specifically: what gave you the best battery usage? Which roms did you use?
Desire based 2.2. Only minor glitches. All hardware functioning and battery indicator accurate. Two phones on one!

Could also grab a few cheap smaller SD cards & switch em out as needed, lesser card writes and should help with corruption, etc...
I was just about to ask this question, good news i guess. ive pretty much settled on froyosense 2.2 while i wait to see if we can get closer to a flashable rom (had it with winmob post using android for a month).
I just boot the phone into WinMo. Connect to computer. Copy all the folders that relate to Android. Then delete them from the SD card. Copy over the build I want to test and boot it up.
If I don't want to keep the new build, back to WinMo and computer. Then delete new build folders. Copy old folders back into place. Boot up again. As far as the old build is concerned, it was never removed.

Yeah, that's what I did now. I think, I found my favorite build. At least battery seems to be ok at the moment.

Hey all
I am sorry for sounding like a noob but do I delete "everything" off of the SD card and replace with other build or do I have to leave some files on for it to work right?
Or if it is of the same base build you can just copy your data.img.
The WP7 boots without a hitch, but when i go to boot android via magldr sd, it freezes up? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks XDA

are you using a rom that supports magldr?
great question, i havent flashed a custom rom yet, is this my issue?
Another note, when it boots to android there is activity for a split second in the tool bar and it says that the sd card is near full. i dont know if this means anything.

You dont flash the android rom, you copy it onto your sd card. Providing you have a MAGLDR SD android ROM it will install.
Have you setup your sd card to support dual boot?
I understand. Ive gone through numerous tutorials and have set up my sd card. when booting into wp7 i have 7 gigs and when i mount the sd in my laptop i have the other have remaining on my sd.
i suppose its the magldr sd android rom thats the issue
any insight here?
do i need to do this?

Yes, either that, or just use a compatible one, for example, i'm using markinux's super clean desire hd without sense blablabla x)
You could try that one out, i'm having no issues at all

ok good - sounds like you're nearly there. Make sure your Android partition is set as PRIMARY
- yes that link is where you need to look next - i never bothered with that though.
I searched the sd ROMS that supported MAGLDR. They usually had special instructions to make them work.
otherwise search thru that thread.
Zarathustrax has created quite a few pre-made MAGLDR boot files - search for his posts in that thread.
alright ill try that one
ive gone toe to toe with FEB 04 Copes
it boots to the starting htc screen and hangs there.

it took a good 10minutes of "HTC" hang time before it booted for me first time.
He's releasing a new version in a couple of hours which i'm going to try.
wasnt sure if my radio was the problem so im flashing the one you have in your sig
will report
thanks guys for your support
im running Copes too,
make sure on the fat32 side of your partition that its primary (like Canterbury said) and sometimes ive noticed its fussy in wanting a formatted clean card. yeah takes like 5 or 10 mins for the first boot. youll almost give up waiting lol i know i have plenty of times.
20 minutes in and still on the htc screen..

if you interrupted the first install while it was trying to create the data.img it wont boot no matter how many times you try. If you think that might be the case - delete the data.img file on the sd and try again.

i'm starting again as i've just flashed XBmod 1.03 wp7, so had to start from scratch as well. Formatted the sd with ext3 and linux partitions for Android
d/ling the latest rom from cope's/warren (TMOUS ver) now.
Over the past day or so I have been playing around with some of the gingerbread sense roms out. After flashing the last one, my sdcard comes up with the message that its mounted read only due to an unexpected problem. I have tried fixing permissions, even went and removed the gingerbread rom and restored a back up of royal glacier, which had no problem with my sdcard before. Any ideas as to what is going on? I'd hate to have to format my sdcard as there's a LOT of misceleanous backups on it from my phone. Any help in this will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. If it makes any kind of difference I am using the 8gb sdcard that came with the phone.

Have you tried mounting it via settings? Cm7 is having the same issues pretty much, if I go to settings storage and mount sd it fixes it till the next error. Lol it sux azz and I don't think anyone here can build a rom without using cm source. :/
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I tried that to no avail. Even tried remounting through adb... As far as mounting through settings goes, it shows the card is mounted read only, and will not unmount or anything, if I press the unmount it leaves that screen and comes up preparing sd card, then the same error message... I don't know, guess I'll just have to pull my sd card contents and format. Will that effect my cwm or anything else I am using which made folders on my sd card?

HELP!!!!!
Okay. So I took the sdcard from my phone, and attempted to pull the files and folders from it. WHAT A SHOCKER! they're all set to read only. I had to take each file and folder seperately, go to properties, and uncheck read only from the attributes. But there's STILL a problem, Once I move them to my windows 7 64 bit pc, the are set to read only again. I take ownership of the folder and it's contents, and as soon as I click apply and close the properties, they're set back to read only. I have already formatted the sd card, and want to put these files back, but if they're read only wouldn't it mess up my phone's sd card again? What am I missing to get my sd card back to working condition? Anyone who can help with this issue would be a LIFE SAVER. I have a TON of info on this phone I don't want to lose. I Pray to the android GODS that my phone's sd card did not ruin all my info.
Try them, mine show read only as well on my 32 bit vista system. And they never change either.

Will do as soon as I return home and will report back with what happens, as for now I found out that what messed my sd card up in the first place was installing ginger sense with NO ext partition. Found a forum here witj a walkthrough to creating said partitions and have done so. As for my back ups and all other files, I will let you know what happens... Thanks for the help!
P.S. Am not having same problems as my saphire did that I mentioned in pm. I have no sdcard in right now, and am fully functioning...

So far the contents of my sdcard appear safe, help is very much appreciated... Now if I may ask, what rom are you running my friend? And also is there a sense gingerbread rom that is 100% functional?

Hi, I'm having problem to flash my HTC HD2 back to android after flashing my HD2 to Windows Phone. The error that I'm having right now is to unable to mount SD Card. Everytime i've tried to mount /SDcard, an error Unable to mount /sdcard occured.
I've tried so many options but still no avail. Tried to use adb shell command but still unable to mount. So, I've tried to run android using SD Card, my phone stuck at port-a-droid screen and keep rebooting. At first, I though it was the SD card but when I tried on my friends HD2, the SD Android can boot and no problem.
I can't think what is the main problem as when I've load back to WP7, my sdcard can be detected and use as a storage and even in Magldr.
Hope someone could shed some light to my problem as i really love this phone.

Ok, follow these steps and you should be fine:
1. Flash task29 by placing task29.nbh onto root of SD card and holding volume down and power button while phone is OFF
2. Flash magldr or CLk
3. Flash recovery
I highly recommend HD2 Toolkit for this if you are not experienced. just google HD2 Toolkit and you will see the xda thread
Goodluck!
Thanks for your reply.
I will try it and hopefully it will solve my problem.
I will post again for the result. Thanks again.

Hi again.
I've tried the step that you suggested using the toolkit but still the same problem.
I'm still unable to boot android from the SD as it keeps reboot after showing the port to droid ultimate screen.
Try to install rom via sdcard still giving me the same can't mount error.
Any other suggestion?
I quit confuse on what reason this is happening as when installing WP7, sdcard can be detected. But when I've flash to Stock Desire HD using DFT (as is the only method that I cn use to install android) my sdcard can be detected by the android os.
It's kinda weird actually...

Have you tried simply formatting your SD card to FAT32? This often solves issues involving the SD card

Oh my bad i thought you were trying to reinstall nand after coming from windows phone.
But yes try what nigeldg suggested, also, make sure your setup (SD card folders, startup.txt etc) is correct as well, thats honestly where it seems like its failing. But without the device its hard to try myself

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Actually I did want to reinstall android from WP7 however when i enter recovery mode and choose install from the zip file, I get can't mount sdcard.
I've been trying a lot of things, format using sd formatter, format to FAT32, swap with another sdcard and even purchase new sdcard also gave me the same error. Even trying to fix using adb also fail or maybe I'm not expert enough to fix using adb. Found a topic in the forum by modifying initrd.rc (if i'm not mistaken) my knowledge is still shallow, so I dare not to try such attempt yet.
Do you think using Clk would solve my problem rather using Magldr? Maybe I should give it a try.
As for the boot android from sd is an effort for me to run android as a temporary solution while trying to figure out NAND installation problem but that method also fail.
I've already format my card using FAT32 (but will try to reformat again later), but copy all the android file into the folder and try to reboot from sdcard. Only got to loading screen of port-a-droid ultimate and then my phone reboot. But when I insert the same sdcard into my friends HD2, it boot into the android without a problem as I'm facing right now.
So I don't know what's the different between his HD2 and mine.
Hopefully someone could help me.

After reading this, and thinking about it for awhile, to eliminate ALL software issues, i would flash stock TMOUS or your carrier's stock Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM and try the sd card there. It almost sounds like youre having a hardware issue. Or wait a minute, what programs did you use to format your SD card? there might be a partition still on it that recovery isnt liking, download mIni tool partition wizard and delete all partitions then create a fat32 partition set as primary. Or use HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool that takes forever but it does an excelent job at erasing completely the contents (master boot records, paritions, data, everything) and restores it to a fresh state. every time i get any sort of external media i use this tool to completely wipe it clean. if problems still persist we may need to move to a google talk chat session or something so i can talk to you as you move through some steps.

Good question lol i have the stock TMOUS ROM, and a custom ROM. The only problem with those is the radio will most likely brick the device.
What carrier do you have? im pretty good at tracking down files on the net. I would start with the carriers website, then go to HTC's website. its 100% out there, just gotta get the blood hounds out and sniff it down i found a 12 year old program (simple .exe file) that would compare two folder directories and output there results to a text file so its definately out there
And i say it might be a hardware issue since you claimed it booted on your friends HD2, thus ruling out a bad SD card, or bad software setup. These devices arent that hard to pull apart, ive had mine a apart more times than i change my underwear xP
So if it is hardware related, prolly a pin thats not connecting 100% (Hopefully) you can easily rip it apart and bend the pin to make contact.
Well the best to ya if you need help finding the stock ROM just post your specs of the carrier and what not and i'll try to help ya. Also if you need anything else you know wher to find me

Thanks again. I will try to find stock rom first. If not, I will post again.
Btw, is it possible for me to pull out (or create an image) of the stock ROM as my brother had a friend that ask me to convert his HD2 to Android. But just to be save, I want to extract the original stock rom first just in case and at the same time i could use it to restore my HD2.
Do you think it is caused by the hware. Because if it is, would it also effecting WP7 rom also. A bit weird as WP7 could access my sdcard without an issue. I don't know as i'm no expert in mobile device.
If my device is bricked either because of the radio or others, is it possible to un-brick it.
Anyway, thanks. Will be posting again soon.
If still couldn't solve, then i will just stick to WP7 and sold the unit instead.

Here are the stock ROMs for the UK, so the ones for your carrier are probably on the HTC website somewhere Try searching through your country's branch of the htc website (i.e. rather than htc.com/uk try your country's code) and you will most probably find the ROM you're looking for. If you're flashing from WinMo you flash HSPL>Radio>MAGLDR/cLK>CWM>ROM (in response to your second post)

I'm reasonably sure you can, as that says it's just a generic software update. Try it out and see if it helps your SD issue and report back

I download many sd android builds. i first test test them on sd card then flash the nand one.
So here's my problem :
Every SD android build has some folder name (e.g ics, Android). when i boot those builds they boot normally, but when i change the folder name to something else, boot loop occurs. I even change the rel_path (in startup.txt) to the corresponding folder name, but to no use.
Help ?

Well i would suggest that you just flash the NAND roms. Why do u check them on the sd card first?

It's much faster and easier to change SD builds, and whilst they might not give as much speed, the general UI will be the same so it's perfectly worthwile.

I download many sd android builds. i first test test them on sd card then flash the nand one.
So here's my problem :
Every SD android build has some folder name (e.g ics, Android). when i boot those builds they boot normally, but when i change the folder name to something else, boot loop occurs. I even change the rel_path (in startup.txt) to the corresponding folder name, but to no use.
Help ?

Magldr SD booting ignores startup.txt. It could be that your new folder name contains more than 8 characters, or has symbols in it. Keep the name short and only use letters and numbers. Magldr also seems not to see the difference between upper and lower case letters.
Hope this helps
I have a few, at least 4~5 Andy SD Roms in my card & I just rename the Folder to whatever suits my naming needs just like the one in the attachment, don't go over 8 characters though & I use all CAPS to make more visible :silly:
But now I'm mostly on NAND

Yes but the purpose of the person is too check the rom. Im saying thats its not a good idea to check the rom by first using its sd card build

If MAGLDR ignores startup.txt, then what does it consider ?

I also use less than 8 chars, even then boot loop occurs.
