USB Mass Storage is not working after dual boot wp7 and android when i am booting android 'Cope's SD HD2 Gingerbread'.
i have used this method to partition sd card to run wp7 and android from same sd card
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-cUdB4_5f4.
There is no problems during using wp7 but the USB Mass Storage is not worked during using android. HD2 can't read the SD card. the SD card is unavailable.
Can it be solved??? Anyone can help me??
Since you're running Android from your SD card, this shouldn't really come as a surprise. Some SD ROMs have semi-USB mass storage, but still this often doesn't work as desired. I advise to either use WiFi file transferring, or booting WP7 when USB storage is required.
it is able to find data in sd card by using file manager but the gallery is not worked. It can't show the video and picture which are placed in sd card .
It may be because the SD card is partitioned, as you mentioned. I never had a problem connecting to the phone as a USB drive when I used SD cards.
It may also be a faulty build. With it being a gingerbread build, I think it may be that as I couldn't connect USB mass storage using gingerbread, and that was a NAND build!
Do you have another SD card you could try the same build with?
Okay, that's another story. Mass USB storage refers to using your computer to transfer files on your SD card.
It really seems like something went wrong with the partitioning, you probably made a mistake somewhere in the process (or the video is wrong, in which case there would be a lot of complaints, check that first). Format your SD card and try again!
Edit: John, he's not really referring to USB mass storage. Android just can't mount his SD card, which probably means the partitioning (which is different on WP7) is f*ed up?
This problem and the solution is stated many times in the sticky thread about partitioning the sd card in the sd dev section. You have to use minitool partition manager and change the wp7 partition from logical to primary. That will solve the problem of android not mounting the sd card. Takes about 2 minute. I'll even attach minitool for you.
thanks a lot . i will try it . thank you
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
So about a week ago I downloaded new version of icecream tosti's ICS rom (v0.6) and booted into CWM to mount my sd card and move the zip file over. I noticed that it was taking longer time to move the file than it usually does but I let the process finish. I unmounted the card and went to install the zip from sd card but couldn't find it. I tried to move the file again and again but couldn't get it to copy the file onto the sd card. I tried moving files from the sd card onto the computer but that was not possible either. It wouldn't show me errors and complete the moving process but it actually didn't move anything. I thought there was something wrong with the sd card so I tried formatting it... no success!
I have used easues partition manager, mini tool partition manager, hp sd card utility, panasoic sd card formatter, tried formatting it through windows native options, used disk management, even tried formatting it through CWM but i kept on getting the same error, can't format. I was placing the micro sd card in a usb card reader and sd card reader in order to format it through computer. I have also tried using different computers but that didn't solve the issue. The problem is that every time I try to install a rom it reverts back to an older revision of the rom with old settings that I set before. It seems to me some how the sd card is locked in a previous state and it is write protected and won't let me format it.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can solve my problem or does this mean the sd card is gone and I have to buy a new one?
I have exactly the same problem after using NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.3. It seems this sd card was frozen, nothing on it can be changed. If I copy a file to it on computer, it shows copy successful, but that file cannot be read, and if refresh it shows nothing have changed in the SD card.
Anyone have any idea about this?
I have three broken micro sd cards now, two from WP7 and this one from ICS.

I waited a couple of weeks for someone to answer on this forum and tried all methods possible to format the sd card or revive it somehow but no luck so just recently purchased a new sandisk class 4 sd card hopefully this one doesn't go bad either. I just wish I knew why it was happening so I don't repeat the process again and end up damaging the card.
Have you tried to format with MAGLDR and after it on windows 7 pc ?
I did that, also followed this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1283232
Contents on this sd card just refuse to change.
is there a solution to this coz im having the same problem and cant find a way to fix this
you can do it by this software's :
HDD Low Level Format Tool
MiniTool Partition Wizard
EASEUS Partition Master
Partition Wizard Home Edition
.
.
.
.
but i dont know how create swap and ext4 partitions on sd .
This happen because you formatted the card on the phone. I never recommend to format on the phone the cards but on PC. Try the application I posted on computer with FAT32 in 32768 unit size.
Hello there,
I have a HD2 with NAND Android up and running over MAGLDR.
I've noticed that Ubuntu can now be booted over MAGLDR and I have decided to give it a shoot, since it's easy enough to try.
I have done everything that has to be done, but the problem is when trying to boot over MAGLDR I get this message:
"k: zimage sd kernel open failed"
I do have the zImage and the initrd.gz in the root, also the linux folder.
I've tried going to Services > Boot options > AD SD to choose from where to boot, but it jumps back to main menu.
That's the problem and I'm guessing that MAGLDR doesn't recognize my SD card.
Btw, it's a Kingston 8gb formatted to FAT32 Primary.
I hope you guys can help a fellow HD2 owner out!
Is your recognising SD Card otherwise, other than MAGLDR?
I have faced a similar problem where neither WM6.5 or WP7 or MAGLDR or CLK detect the SD Card however it is detected by bootloader.. See link below

Hello,
it recognizes the SD card everywhere except in MAGLDR.
In the mean time I found a exact same thread like my problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315808
Basically it tells me that my SD card just doesn't work with MAGLDR.
So, has anyone found a solution that doesn't involve buying a new SD card?

Unfortunately that thread is right, your SD isn't compatible with MAGLDR. I have the same problem with my Kingston 16GB class 4, so it appears to be something to do with Kingston cards. You should have received a Sandisk with your phone, which is enough if you want to use SD builds only to try ROMs out, but there isn't much you can do to sort it out I'm afraid.

Alright,
well that's kinda sad, tho I still thank you both for the info.
I'm having a similar issue with my 32gb Sandisk class 4 card. It used to work fine, but then Magldr stopped seeing the file structure for sd boot. With trial and error I used gparted to recreate a ms-dos partition table. Just now magldr sees the file structure again.

Was it this? If not, then would you be able to explain how you did it, please? I have the same issue so it would help. To be fair, I haven't really tried to resolve it properly yet, so it's probably an obvious solution which I missed.
It doesn't work once again...
Tho what I did to make it work is using "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition":
1.Delete the partition
2.Create Partition: set Primary, set Fat32, set allocation table to 32K
3.Apply
That's basically it, I copied all my files excluding the linux ubuntu I wanted to try over MAGLDR...
Next day I tried to select AD SD dir and it OPENED it up, I was amazed!
I then booted android, selected to copy over usb, copied over Linux(around 3.2GB).
I rebooted back in to MAGLDR, tried to select AD SD dir and the same problem occurred... :silly:
I have no clue what else can be the problem, I tried then deleting the Linux, because it worked without it, and again same problem...
So basically it stopped working after I connected the sd card over usb while on android to copy linux... from that moment I couldn't select AD SD dir any more, just jumps back to main menu.
I would like suggestions if anyone knows what might happen?
Was I lucky to just make AD SD dir working? Or was it the allocation table I mentioned that I changed to 32K?
EDIT:
I've been thinking...
Since my goal is to have an android NAND and a Ubuntu over SD, is that all possible if I switch the bootloader from MAGLDR to CLK?
I've never tried CLK, but I'm sure it boots Android NAND's just fine, but what about Ubuntu over SD? Does it have problems recognizing SD on CLK?
Hi guys, long time reader and first time poster here with a question. I apologize in advance if this has been asked and answered, but I have searched throughout the nook forums and have not found a solution yet to my problem and any help is greatly appreciated.
I have been wanting to use CM10 as my daily driver on my nook for awhile now, however everytime I flash the ROM and get things set up, I run into an issue where the ROM does not consider my SD card to be mounted. I have adjusted the settings to be set to Mass USB Storage as one person suggested in the development thread, I have formatted it numerous times to try to see if that was causing the issue, and so far nothing has worked.
I know that the SD card that is in my nook is good as it shows up in ICS without any problems. Does anyone else have any idea on what I could try to get the SD card to mount properly in CM10?
Thanks again for any help, and many apologies if this is answered in another thread.

When you say mounted, you mean you cannot see it under storage devices within CM10? It does not show up in your file manager? That USB mass storage setting is just for seeing on your PC when you plug the USB cable in. It has nothing to do with seeing the card in CM10. And you tried formatting several times you said. How did you format it? In the PC with windows? You need to try SDFormatter which is a free windows program on the web. Other users have said that that makes them show up on the Nook. When the nook first starts up, it tries to read the SD and scan it, if it can't, it won't mount it. There could be something very simple wrong with the card that the nook sees and your PC does not.

Leap,
I have to apologize, I used the wrong terminology in my original post. It seems that the issue I am having is with the SD card being stuck in RO mode and not being able to write to it from CM10. Anything that I have tried to download via the Play Store fails to install with an error saying that it could not install to USB Storage or SD Card. I have formatted the card via Windows, CWM, and using the SDFormatter program to no avail. I have also tried to fix permissions via CWM and Rom Manager and that has not resulted in resolving the issue that I seem to be having. I love the speed at which CM10 runs, and if I can get the SD Card to be RW it would easily replace the ICS build that I've been using forever now, I just don't know what else I can try to get the card to be RW while running CM10.

The problem is CM10 is very finicky about the format on the card. If it does not like it, it mounts it read only. Look for SDFormatter on the web and format with that. Should fix it.
Edit, I just reread and said you tried that. That should have fixed it. Do it again but turn off quick format.

Leap,
Thank you for all the help you've provided, however it doesn't seem that doing a long format with overwrite in SD Formatter got it to work. I'm going to retreat back to ICS for now.

Just a question, after you format the card, do you move any files in it? I had the same exact problem and it must have been a defective file in my titanium backup folder because I had no problem using the same sd when I synch'd titanium via dropbox.
I installed the 19/11 nightly and it is better than anything I ever run on nook. even CM7
Tschumi,
After I finish formatting it via SD Formatter, I place it back into the nook completely blank and reboot the nook. After that, I try to download anything from the play store that requires SD install and it fails to install.

Use ROM Manager and select "Format SD card" which will allow apps to install. Nook will reboot into CWM and begin formatting SD card. Be FOREWARNED! You will lose anything you have stored on the SD card so make a backup and trasnsfer to your PC or somewhere you can later retrieve.
Ok so here's an update on this issue for me. It appears that no matter how many times I used SD Formatter to format my 16Gb micro sd card, it would not be recognized by CM10. I grabbed an old 8Gb micro SD card and threw it in my nook and it worked perfectly, so it appears that there's an underlying issue with the card itself that was causing the problems. Thanks to everyone for the tips and advice on how to fix this issue for me. I appreciate it.

I am having the same issue with my 16GB Patriot microSD card. The card is recognized, but always displays as full (26GB used) in the settings menu. I have reformatted numerous times to no avail. I have an old 4GB card in there now with no issues.

It is that Patriot brand and CM10. CM10 is very finicky about sdcards. If it does not like how one performs, it changes it to read only. You can try formatting the card with SDFormatter, which you can get free on the web. That may help, but it may not.
