[Q] Is there a way to install WP7 without VolUp? - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Hi,
is there a way to flash WP7 to my HD2 without VolUp key? (broken after display replacement)
VolUp key is needed when WP7 is booting to hardreset, without that I always get message with some SD card problem).
Thanks.

you can also use settings/about/reset your phone, from within WP7 to hard reset your phone.
But I see your point, if you are having trouble with the sd card, try installing XBmod/Yuki ROM and updating to 7403 without SD, skip through the setup and then use the above. Your card should then be captured by WP7
If using a ROM which doesn't fully encrypt then try sdformatter to resize and format your sd before trying again.

[Q] [q] help! Win7 installed- sd card ruined

i managed to get win7 running & followed all the steps to activate live except for calling microsoft which i plan to do in the morning but i have realized when installing win 7 it didnt integrate my sd card, so i now have hardly any space left...is there anything i can do to fix this? will i need to uninstall win 7 , reinstall 6.5 then reinstall win 7? there has got to be an easier way right? any way to get a new sd card? i am new to this ..any help would be greatly appreciated
When botting WP7 hold vol up and down then vol down do a hard reset with the memory in it you gonna have to do eveything again but you wont have to istallled it
so if i do that reset will i be back to a win6.5 phone or will it have saved the win7 os & hspl files etc.

You are effectively doing a factory reset of WP7 so it will boot to a virgin copy of WP7.
As to whether you could replace the SD card and have it work properly from a hard reset, not sure. I know WP7 seems to use the card as an extension to the file system but I'd have thought that it did this as part of the install process so if you find a card that plays nicely with WP7 you'd still need to reinstall. Not certain though.

Problem with LCD freezing during update 7720.68

Hi,
I have Czech T-mobile version of HTC HD2 with clasic 448MB and 512MB storage.
1.Which soft radio will work for my HD2, I tried 5.51T, 5.64 and from 7004 > 7008 the phone didnt update to 7008 or freez the screen after success full upload to 7008 ?
2. Is this radio related issue ?
3. Now I changed other radio and again it freez from 7008 > 7392
I already have 7720.68 build but with 5.69 soft radio
Thanks for any help.
5.51T appears to work fine on my EU HD2.
The freezing after updates is most likely related to the SD card. Remove the SD card, do a hard reset from magldr and see if it boots up. If it does, you can try to update it without the SD card, then insert SD card and do a hard reset.
I had the same problem, it was corrupted SD card. After reformating and removing partitions in MAGLDR was instalation without problems...
Im now on Yuki 7720 with Radio 5.69 and its fast and nice without problems with battery drain

Remove partition in: MAGLDR > services > something about Clear SD ?

As quoted from Yuki's thread:
"Take care your SDcard is encrypted since the first boot like a real WP7 Device."
Once installed and on first boot your MicroSD card will be encrypted, therefore you will not be able to mount the MicroSD card to reformat (should a problem occur) without the aid of a device which can perform low level formatting (such as a Symbian device).
I am in the same situation and without a Symbian device available or any other device which can perform the above mentioned low level formatting I'm a tad screwed. WP7 doesn't seem to play nicely with any of MicroSD cards... That and I'm facing continuous GSOD which I never came across using Android (Apparent only in WM and WP7).
We need to gain a log of the formatting process used by WP7 on first boot to try and decrypt our cards. Still looking into it...

[Q] Micro SD card useless after installing Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki]

Hello everyone, I've recently installed Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki] with kingston 8gb class 4. Everything was fine until i pressed 'reset ypur phone'. The phone started crashing on htc logo , so I decided to go back to wm 6.5. The problem is my sd card is no longer recognisable by anything. I tried SD formatter, hard disk low level format tool, killdisk, mitool partition, but with no luck
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/09/19/how-to-unlock-revive-sd-card-after-install-windows-phone-7/
Or
Youtube type in search(video from 96edwy)......> htc hd2 how to format your sd card after wp7 use
thaks for the help, but both methods are not working, i've installed storage lock, but my sd card is no longer recognised by the phone itself. when i go to mass store, my pc is not finding anything either.
i have the exact same problem i also tried with the cab sender but had no luck if someone could please help us i actualy lost 2 8Gb sd cards
I had to get a new sd card for similar case.

all the solutions they gave in the forum didnt work for me, only this worked:
be carefull never do a reset from the about menu cuz this was the reason all my cards got locked <- im on this now for over a week, so believe me i tried everything, but its never useless to try it yourself because in my opinion you cant talk about a general state of cards or wp7 installation.
Reflash everything with your card inside your mobile, i mean start with windows 6.5 then the radio then magldr and then the native rom from yuki,
as it boots up wp7 you should get stuck on the htc screen because your sd is broken, now empty the sd bevor the phone has booted, and enter it in your sd reader, windows should now detect the card.
this only worked for one of my cards. and no its not depending on the brand because i have 2 sandisks and with the 8 gb it worked... with the 2gb it didnt...
but i still couldnt manage it to get to mango.

I had troubles to install WP also, I just tried again today, and I have it now!
I installed it from cabs, following more or less this:
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/09/16/how-to-install-windows-phone-7-5-mango-7720-on-htc-hd2-video/
I downloaded 7004-7392 and 7392-7720.
I installed in 3 update steps:
1st I installed the ROM,
then 1st update 7004-7392
then I installed all cabs to get to 7661
then I installed all to 7720
Had some troubles, but by keeping trying, I got it
Now I have my red mango!
Even if it is still bugging because of my sd card... Now It freezes 1 second after being loaded.

Had that same issue, just hard reset on magldr (power on, vol up and volume up again) and problem solved.
at the stage of 7.392 to 7403 it gets stuck with me cause of the sd card it wont update and then it gets into a boot loop, its definatly the boot when i need the sd to update, the boot kills my sd and it wont recognize the updates, any trick how to get over that boot which kills the card? any way to get the updates to the card without doing that reboot on wp7
I don't have a solution to the SD unlock, BUT I can tell you that people SAY that if you put the SD in a Nokia device and format it, it will be usable again. I gave myself a serious scare as I thought I had destroyed 2 SD cards, when not even WP7 recognized them, but I found out that if you do a Task 29, install radio 2.15, MAGLDR 1.13, enable 24mb nand and clear SD MBR, then install the ROM again, the phone can read the SD once more, thus meaning it is NOT DESTROYED and salvageable. Hope this was somewhat helpful to anyone else that thought like me he had destroyed his SD!
VERY IMPORTANT: WP7 stops recognizing the cards if you take them OUT of the device, so if you want to save yourself an hour of reflashing DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES pull your SD out. Otherwise you will need to reflash if you want the phone to see the SD again.
EDIT: Read my next post for the solution! Hope this helps
How to format a WP7 secured card
Hey guys,
I have flashed WP7 from initial builds to NODO to Mango so many times that I have lost count...
With NODO I have had success in formatting the card with my Nikon D90.
Cards started to be locked in Mango. The only solution is to format the card with a Nokia C6 or any Nokia with Symbian v8 or above.
I have tried every tool and every tool is dependent on the OS for initial recognition, and OS (Window 7) simply refuses to recognize the "wp7 secured" card.
I managed to salvage my SD card using a SD-adapter and the built-in SD card reader of my netbook... (Android, CWM, and 5 USB card readers didn't work) windows recognized the card as a 200MB card at first (?..)
used SD formatter to restore the original size to 4GB

Oh rly
Because I manaed to reformat my SD WITHOUT ANY CAMERAS OR NOKIAS
All you have to do is use the DEV_UNLOCKSTORAGE.cab and that will unlock your SD which can then be read by your PC and reformatted with SD Formatter 3.0!

I think I realised your problem and I'm sorry. I had missed the part where he says the PHONE can't recognize the card either.
Same thing happened to me, but I just:
1.Ran task29
2.Installed 2.15 Radio
3.Installed magldr 1.13
4.Went into services (WITH MY SD CARD IN MY PHONE) and I picked Clear SD MBR (i don't know if that really helps, but just in case it does)
5.Enabled extra 24mb nand and I flashed the ROM
6.Then I updated to 7720
7.I installed DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab and unlocked my SD, i turned off my phone, I took my SD out and My computer could now read and Format it.
I am truly sorry if this is another "stupid" solution.

So you installed WP7 that locks the card all the way to Mango, installed the DEV_STORAGELOCK to unlock it with a .cab in order to be formatted on your PC? Sure thing, stick with that method, it works...

Are you sarcastic? I mean really are you. Cause I SWEAR it works. The card may be locked, but builds 7004, 7392 can still see it just as well as 7720, but I think you need to be on 7720 in order to use DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab!

Yuki/XBmod v2 storage error

Every time I try to install the Yuki/XBmod v2 ROM, I keep getting this damn error on the phone when it boots:
There's a storage error.
Your storage card seems to have changed-we need you to use the card that came with your phone.
Please turn off your phone and then make sure that the card is properly inserted in its slot.
I have followed the instructions countless times, formatted my SD card many times, and I keep getting that error.
It works when I don't have the SD card in the phone.
Can someone please help me with this error and tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks! I would really, REALLY appreciate the help!

Yes. I have done that as well and still gives me that storage error.
Could it be the SD card that I am using? Or am I doing something wrong?
I really want to get Mango so bad!
what OS are you at now (settings/about/ os version)?
did you prepare card?
-Enable 24MB extra memory in Magldr services
-Delete MBR of SDcard in Magldr services
if you done this and card not work, try this:
boot without sdcard... make hard reset (settings - about - reset)
upgrade with zune to 7392
make hard reset again (settings - about - reset)
insert card, boot and upgrade to mango...

try force update.... when you hit update after 2-5 seconds terminate internet connection... this maybe you must do few times before update shown
I get this error two, and I've also dual booted WP7/Android in the past then went back to NAND/CLK Android and now want to try WP7,5/Android again but now it doesn't work. I keep getting that error. So I know the sdcards work (8GB Kingston C4)

Storage card not working, Cant access WP7 HELP!

SCREEN HD2:
Storage card not working
Your storage cart has changed is
damaged or is non-compliant.
To fix this, turn off you phone and either
remove the storage card or replace it with
a new compliant card. Then you’ll need to
reset your phone to the original factory
settings.
To reset your phone, refer to the owner´s
manual.
I installed [19.7.2012][NT 8779 V1 18L 3La 3Lb]LEO_ML_51240101_R_5710902a_22515021 by ansar. Before I had this rom installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953078. I had SPL-2.08.HSPL, Radio 2.15 and DFT MAGLDR Bootloader v1.13 installed. While using the HD2O© WP7 8779 (TANGO) The phone worked fine, I even was able to attain a activation code. (did it all in like 4 hours really late last night). So this morning I just flashed the one I said i installed 2nd above and thats when I started getting this problem. Ive tried the methods of the 1234 reset and things. So wondering if i have to go all the way back to stock 6.5 and work my way back again or if there is something that I can do. Because even booting up without SD card i still get the same error message.
did you format your card in PC before flashing new ROM?
sometimes behavior with SDcards is unpredictable... almost all problems in HD2 WP7 is related to SDcards...

per other posts and threads...it's a hit and miss with sd cards. personally, i've never had any sd card issues using yuki rom, but roms from other chefs have caused sd card compatibility issues. there is something about the base wp7 rom by those other chefs which causes sd issues. i have used sandisk, 3c, topram, lex brands...no problems with yuki, but causes problems with pdaj, hd2o, and ansar roms.
and fyi...there's no need to format the sd prior to using with wp7. wp7 will reformat the whole card anyway.
another issue you may have with your sd card is if you used them with yuki. if this is the case, you need to reinstall base yuki, install devstorageunlock cab, unlock sd card, then you can use the cards with roms by other chefs.
