Clockwork: Can't mount /sdcard - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hey folks..
I've got a really annoying problem..
Installing CWM-Roms doesn't work on my HTC HD2..
I'll start from the beginning:
I bought a HD2 with a broken Screen and repaired it using one of these chinese fakes (It works briliant, but i want to be precise).
When I start the HD2 it shows the LOGO of the T-Mobile Windows 6.5 Version I first flashed. And then boots into Android. I was able to install Android , because it is a DFT- Version.
If I start the Bootloader (Volume Down + Power-Button) the following text is shown:
PB8110 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x50
So let's start installing a different ROM. Everything seems to be ready
I am using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044830 Tutorial
for this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21173918 Rom!
I start with installing the Radio ( Version 2.15.50.14 ). In the next step I installed magldr 1.13.
Works good ! In the Magldr all funktions work! USB- Flasher, mounting Mass-Storage and so on...
I Install the 400 mb Clockwork Mod, which I got from the Tutorial. ( also tried 250 mb Version a few days ago) .... When i start the phone now, magldr starts on its own.. I don't need to press any buttons to get into the menu.
I press on AD Recovery and the Clockworkmenu opens..
For partitioning I press in advanced ---> partition sd card--->1024M--->0M Swap Size--->(Partitioning SD Card ...please wait... Done!)
Back in the Main-menu of clockworkmod I click on "wipedata/factory reset...HD2 says:"Data Wipe complete"
I take out the sd card and copy the ROM to the root of it ( The SD card isn't partitioned)
I put the sd- card back into the phone, start it --->magldr menu starts--> press on Ad Recovery--> install from sd card--> choose zip from sd card
And now there is the Error--> E: Can't mount /sdcard
CWM can't so anything to the sd card.. Mounting mass-storage doesn't work either! Magloader ha full access to the sd card....
Where is the mistake? I've done the Tutorial step by step...
cLK doesn't work as well.. clk isn't able to go into Fastboot mode...
Can somebody help?
Thank you !!
Sorry for my language ... I'm quite tired and english isn't my mothertoung, so my
syntax isn't realy creative

Try formatting using SD Formatter v3.1 with format size adjustment on (quick format should be ok) from pc.
Then if you want ext partition use cwm as before.

First, it can happen that formatting sd in cwm can messed up.
Put card in card reader and format fully your card in windows.
You can also download gparted and make boot cd, boot it and delete all partition on sd cdard, just be careful to select your sdcard and not your hard disk.
If you don't have card reader and nothing helps, ask some friend which have android to format your sd card.
Few tips:
For start try installing magldr roms not clk.
Use cwm 5.0.2.7 for hd2
Use hd2 nand toolkit if you want all utilities in one.
Dont flash cwm with system partition so big as 400mb, there isn't really need for that.
Ever devs give you advice for how big your boot/system/cache partition needs to be if you wanna use particular rom.
Changing system and other partitions size can be done in 2 ways:
1)go to your cwm folder on pc and look for FLASH.CFG, be carefull there also one file similiar name, you need to open flash.cfg as it would be word document and you'll see partition size in there, change to size which dev of room advise.
2) use hd2 nand toolkit and follow instructions from forum
If you are first time in nand installing, read guide how ti use hd2 nand toolkit and cwm, or guide how to install nand rom.

Hmm formating didn`t work.. I'll try partitioning now...

Nope Doesn't help anything.. CWM istn't able to find the sd-card ( I've tried with 3 different sd-cards)
Where can I get this CWM Version? I've seached but didn't found it for the hd2... What the hell is wrong with my device ...Has someone an idea?

I would not be blaming cwm myself, sounds really like a hardware fault!:silly::silly:
Could be wrong tho':silly::silly:
:cyclops:

hmm that would be bad -.-
but its strange, because the for example magldr is able to mount the sd card and my windows 6.5 is also able to acess the card and use it...
So it cant be the sd-slot that is broken .. And as I said i tried 3 different sd-cards , even bought a new one just to be sure..
Flashing my good old htc touch hd was alot easier
I've tried to flash back to the o2 stockrom now, but i get the same error...
There are alot of people that have this error on the internet, but they all got a different solution and non of them has worked for me yet...
If someone got an idea, feel welcome to tell me.
Thank you

Now I understand, if your sd-card worked on windows? then it is a bit of a problem!!
google is your friend...
nokia

Does trying to set an AD Dir (services =>bootsettings => ad sd dir) show up the sdcard directory or drop back to the MAGDLr home screen?
Other options, try flashing a different recovery (CWM Touch beta 8 works for me), or try using MiniTool to change the sdcard partition to Promary, from logical.

Okay services=>bootsettings=>AD SD Dir=> no directory is shown ..just <.> ... clicking on this results in a drop back to the magdlr home screen...

Ahh and i had already tried minitool... Didn't change anything unluckily.. Il this version of cwm now
Thank you

ohh damn.. I just thought, that on wm6.5 the sd card worked...
Tested it again ..it doesn't...
Okay .. Magldr is able to connect the Sd-card to my computer via USB, but the Roms can't use the SD card? ..Strange...
Is that possible? I mean is it possible that it is something with the hardware?
Then my hd2 will be on ebay tomorrow

If you used all sd-cards with windows they are kinda locked by windows and you won't be able to use them with android unless you are able to reformat them to fat32.
This thread might help you sort it out.:cyclops:

Hmm they write, that WP7 locks sd-cards... but i never had a phone with windows 7
and the android of my girlfriend accepts at least one of the cards ...

And wp7 cab sender doesn't work with wm6.5 here.. I'll try the killdisc
At all WM 6.% can't read or see the sd-card either .. just magdlr can mount the sd card

Okay ! Problem solved!
It was a tiny hardware problem!
look at the attached photo...
The arrow points on a little piece of metal. In my phone it was bend towards the edge of the mainboard.
This tiny piece of metal is very important for the sd-slot ..Normally when a sd card is inside the slot, this piece gots contact to another metal piece..
So if you got a problem like me just look for this thing!

I would get another ROM and reflash it, whether it's a ZIP ROM (CWM) or a NAND ROM via DFT.
it would be awsome if you could send me a link to a good rom? android or windows? realy need this to work

Well there's lots of good roms out there... they are all very easy to flash back and forth from. I hate to say which one is "better" than another as that is purely subjective and everyone has a differing opinion. However, it seems a lot of people really like Sergios, MDJ's and CMYXLGO's ROMs. As a start you may want to check out one of those... Here is a link to the main Android NAND forum.
I have
•HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL
•Radio that support 576 RAM
•DFT MAGLDR Bootloader
•ClockworkMod Recovery
Installed.
Can you send a link to a rom that supports clockwork? i dont realy care witch one just one that works. am e newbie in this just got the phone yesterday, and now i kinda afraid i cant fix it :/ :/

If it turns on and will boot to the bootloader, it's fixable So don't worry that much! Try out Sergio's ROM. It supports CWM. If you do use that one be sure to back up your SD card as you have to repartition it.
The steps to install it are:
Code:
HD2 COREDROID Desire HD V1
1. Extract downloaded zip to a folder of your choice
2. Copy contents of copy_to_sd_root (initrd.gz and zImage) to the root of your sd card
3. Boot into magldr and select USB Flasher option while phone is connected to PC
4. Run DAF.exe included in the zip and follow onscreen instructions.
5. After complete devise will reboot in magldr chose "Boot AD SD" option
6. Device will boot into Clockwork Recovery
7. Select advanced
8. Select Partition SD card (remember too backup all valuable data you have on SD Card)
9. Selet (minimum 512M)(maximum 1024M) Chose what fits best for you Recomended size 1024M
10.Select Swap 0M
11.Wait for the process too finish (do not restart device stay in ClockWork recovery)
12.Connect the Device into USB
13.select mounts and storage
14.select mount USB storage
15.Copy contents of copy_to_sd_root (initrd.gz, zImage) to the root of your sd card
16.Copy CoreDroid_HD_HD2_v*.zip to the root of your sd card
17.Press back key after finish
18.Press back key once more
19.Select install zip from sdcard
20.Select choose zip from sdcard
21.Select CoreDroid_HD_HD2_v* file and then confirm
22.Wait for it too finish
23.After flash options pop up again Press back Key
24.select reboot system now
25.Let it boot wait about +-10Min Enjoy
I haven't really examined the guide you followed that much, but make sure you have installed a recent version of Magldr (i.e. the one you can download in the official Magldr thread in the WinMo subforum, version 1.11 to be precise). The first version(s) have been notorious for the Gogogo! bug persistently affecting some users.
Just a fyi, ignore this if you already have this v1.11
I got the aMagldr V1.11
The rom you sendt me doesnt work, it stopps here:
Run DAF.exe included in the zip and follow onscreen instructions.
i allredy installed a Daf.exe can that be the problem?

No, because it's not really an installer, but a flasher. I'm not really an expert on the CWM issues, but it seems to me like formatting your SD card(do a full format, not the quick one) might help you, since it's quite probably your SD card being the *****.
It may not help you, but if you've got a few minutes I'd say give it a shot. Don't forget to backup important SD (NAND isn't affected) first of course!
Oh, and there's also this small chance that your CWM download is corrupt. Not sure if that would give the gogogo error though.
Sorry for being a complete newb, but how do i do the hard format?
but do i need the DAF.exe to install the rom?
You'd have to format in Windows (which I assume is the OS you're running), which now that I think of it may be a bit of a problem. I don't think you can mount your SD card with Magldr, which means that you'd have to use an external card reader. If you don't have that, you'd have to reflash WinMo to format, but since that's quite some more work for something that I can't even guarantee to be a solution you might wanna hold on to other suggestions.
DAF.exe is the tool which flashes CWM to your phone. Some other tools and/or ROMS use the same name for their flasher though.
after this one :
8. Select Partition SD card (remember too backup all valuable data you have on SD Card)
9. Selet (minimum 512M)(maximum 1024M) Chose what fits best for you Recomended size 1024M
10.Select Swap 0M
i can't do **** i cant open the device in windows. is there no way i can just system recover the whole device? or do i have to rom it?..
realy need this to be working, prefer android but windows is okey

It sure is no brick, as long as you can boot into bootloader (turn on phone while keeping volume down pressed) there's no problem at all. No need to return it either.
If you feel really desperate try the WinMo thing, you've got nothing to lose except for about 30 minutes of your time.
winmo thing? is there any guide?
if i download a format program i can format the sd card..
1. Flash WinMo, this should be no problem in bootloader
2. I think it's possible to format your SD card within WinMo. I've never used WinMo actually so I can't give instructions on that.
If you can't find it or if it isn't possible, mount your SD card so you can see it in Windows. Backup data if necessary. Then right click on it (in Windows), and choose format, then disable quick format which should be selected by default. After the format you should have a clean SD card.
4. Flash Magldr again, following instructions in the official Magldr thread. Download a new copy off xda, to eliminate the possibity of just having had a corrupt download.
6. Flash CWM, following instructions in the official CWM thread.
7. Flash ROM.
Edit: I used WinMo where I meant the mobile OS, and Windows where I meant the pc OS.
I did format the SD card, nothing new just that CWM disapeard.
Now its loading with aMagldr v1.11
And i Have Spl-2.08. Hspl 8g Xe
Can anyone send me a link to a good Win 6.5 rom and anykind of guide?

Stops after GO GO GO at first boot

Hi
I have tried to install android on my phone and after a few attempts I finally got to the step where to install Android which works fine.
But after first boot it is written that it may take upto 20 minutes.... I have tried with different kernels with same results.... it simply stops after GO GO GO then it comes to the android screen and nothing happens... I have tried to let it be for 5 hours... still no reaction!
What I do is to copy the .zip file to my SD card and go to to the boot menu and coose "Install from zip file on SD card".
Any good ideas how to solve it?

You need to provide more details for folks around here to reply. Ie:
1. Which model are you using - LEO512 or LEO1024
2. Which MAGLDR was flashed. Version 1.13? Because earlier version had the freeze at GOGOGO! problem.
3. Which android build did you use (DAF build type or CWR type?)
Only then we can even start to suggest what to do to help you
Wait....Are you using builds that requires SDCards to be partitioned? If yes, did you partition as required?

Mate,
I experience that too. I think not all ROM can be successfully boot.
My suggestions is either try reflashing or find another ROM that works for your HD2.

Thats odd.... I only know that the experience may vary across different units (ie: wake-up lag, power drain, etc). Never have i heard that not all builds can be successfully booted. I still think the problems has to do with settings (i.e.: config.txt, NAND partition layout, SD Card partition size and formats etc).
If you have a prob with the builds, please specify clearly which version and your configurations. Only then folks here can advice accordingly....
can't hurt...
task 29, WM6.5 rom installation, magdlr installation then flash the rom again
make shure you created ext partition on SD if required for making work the ROM (check its trhead)....
Do a fresh installation(Format SD->Task 29->Flash Radio->Flash MAGLDR->Flash CWM->Flash ROM from zip using AD recovery option in MAGLDR.. Maybe you are using an incompatible radio?
if i have this problem, i flash windows back (LEOIMG.nbh is always on my sdcard).
this will help me.
after one "no-function"-flash dont try an other flash by the same config like the config before.
I think that problem is in kernel . you trying kernel for new desire, use for N1.

i guess you did a ROM flash through clockworkmod? if so, did you flash the correct partition sizes (sense roms need often about 400mb /system partition). If not you need to find the 400mb clockwork recovery in this forum.
If you flashed a rom via DAF, please disregard this.
also please post in the correct forum (Q and A would be correct for this topic i believe)

I have done a task29 several times already.

.... or rather t mobile on top of ur screen

I'm not sure what you ask me about. But no on my phone my call buttons is black and gray
By using panasonic formatter I only format... but the card is on 8Gb so guess I need to make a partition.
Mini partition tool doesnt work correct it report errors as soon as I ftry to format etx3
If your phone has T-mobile on top and buttons are colored red & grees - its LEO1024.
If all grey without any logo on its case/housing - then its LEO512/EURO model.
difference is the NAND size. LEO1024 has 1GB and LEO512 has 512MB.
Peter,
I'll quickly write the outline here, hopefully it helps. But detailed guide on each subject has been posted numerous times here. Please look for them.
Outline to get RAFDROID up and running (Based on your post, im assuming yours is LEO512)
1. Flash MAGLDR 1.13 (this involves entering tricolor screen and flashing like good'ol WM6.5)
2. From MAGLDR, choose USB Flasher mode (Option 4 i think...) and flash Clockwork Mod Recovery with 400MB layout. (this is important, wrong layout will cause bootloop and androd will not boot)
3. Assuming you have 2GB microSD card - Use a memcard reader and connect it to your PC. Dont use mass-storage option from MAGLDR. Launch Minitool Partition and create 1GB FAT32 Primary partiton followed by 1GB EXT3 with 4096 block size primary partition. This process is not as complicated as it may sound
4. Put the downloaded RAFDROID CWR zip file into the FAT32 partition. (When the partitioning is complete, windows will only see 1GB in your microSD. The 2nd 1GB EXT3 partition will only be available to android, so dont worry about it)
5.Once done, pop you microsd in your LEO, and choose Recovery option from menu. Once you enter the recovery menu, choose Install from ZIP file and choose the RAFDROID zip file that you have just put in.
6. Wait, and choose reboot. Whole process should be about 20 min.
7. Enjoy your android
Guys, please add anything if i missed out any steps

[HOW TO]Format SD even when Windows cant reconize it

Hi guys,
today i had bad day. Cotulla released the new HD2 Ultrafruit Rom and i wanted to try it out.
So i followed the flashing steps which worked for me and mostly everone in this forum. Like:
-1st it's recommended to flash an old rom wm 6.5 and let it boot entirely
-Format your SD card too
-Flash magldr 1.13
-Enable 24MB extra memory in Magldr services
-Delete MBR of SDcard in Magldr services
-Flash the rom with DWI & Set a correct time & date.
But somehow my new Transcend SD wont get formated via 6.5 ROM and clearing MBR hasnt made a change to this. I tried serveral times with different approaches and no success.
Another problem was, that when i inserted my 2 old SDs, no matter which one, in my HD2 i could boot just one time. After a reboot, the touchscreen didnt response.
Conclusion for me on this Friday 13. : No phone for me.
But finally i've found a way:
I flashed Yuki and Xboxmods Rom which is able to hande cabs WITHOUT a SD inside. So i had some MB left on my phone memory which allowed me to install DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab from Xboxmod.
But as we know just inserting a SD wont let the phone recognize the card. This works just with a reflash or a hardreset from the Info screen of WP7.
I did a hardreset and after that the DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab was still installed and my SD was recognized. So i could execute the storage lock app on the phone and unlock my SD.
After that my Windows 7 PC could see the card when i went to MAGLDR and its Mass Storage Mode. Then i formated the SD with the Panasonic SD Formatter with Options/Format Type = FULL (ERASE) and FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT on.
->Voila i had my 16GB cards back to life.
The absence of a SD Card Reader wasnt helpful too.
Hope this little How to helps others too.
haha, exactly what happened to me I tried many things, but nothing worked. And then I thought "Okay, lets move to the Q&A Forum and look for answers" .. and your topic was the first one great.
worked perfectly.
Sory about your bad experiance!
We dont need a hole srory to explane how this is done if thats why your reading this! it go's like this...
1.Flash magldr 1.13 (or) if your alredy have it services/clear sdmem
2.Enable 24MB extra memory
3.flash xbmod yukixda 7004
4.install DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab
5 use the app & unlock your card then take it out untill your newly flashed rom boots up then put it back in!
I know he just sayed that but I figure i take out the unusefull parts! make it simple!
I know this is a frustrating experiance to have but never the less hears your fix!

You really should download the HD2 NAND Toolkit. You can use the toolkit to flash HSPL, MAGLDR, or clk to your HD2. It has all of these included in the download for the Toolkit. You can also use it to flash an .nbh file to your HD2. This means you can flash Splashscreens and Windows Mobile ROMs with the Toolkit also.
Go to this thread to learn how to dual boot Windows Phone 7.5 and Android. But just so you know Android can only be run from SD card when you have WP 7.5 installed in NAND. You can not however dual boot Android from NAND and WP 7.5from SD card as WP uses your SD card as internal memory.
Last of all for your on good please read the guide in my signature so you can hopefully educate yourself about exactly what the MAGLDR is and what it's function is. Plus it is a load more of info I think would very much help you to read.
thank you very mach i jast seee i need to put the android in SD card will it make it sloer? or its will upload in self to RAM on start up... if its like this maybe i will start with jast android 4.0.4 soo jast for this what do i need?

The first thread you linked is a tool used to install Android to NAND widget means Android boots from internal memory. So unless you want to just use Android on your HD2 this is not the guide for you right now.
The second thread you linked is to a SD card buildvthat uses Super RAM which means that part of the main Android system boots into RAM on start up widget makes the build run faster. If this is what you want to use for your Android you just need to download it and extract the contents of the .zip file to the root of your SD card and then either use the file explorer to touch on CLRCAD and then HARET, or you can install a dual boot app for Windows Mobile that you can use to boot your Android from SD card.
I just want to correct a very very wrong statement, WP7.5 is very well supported. The HD2 is often better supported by the dev community than official WP devices, infact the HD2 got Tango before any other WP phone. Also with WP7.5 on NAND you can dual boot so you can have Android and WP7.5, you can't do that the other way around. I would suggest dual booting HD2Owners ROM found HERE along with AmericanAndroid on the SD found HERE. These two are both realy stable and well supported.

Ok let me see if I can walk you through this some. First download the 02.04.12 HD2O© ROM, the AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 SD card build, the Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14, the EASEUS ALL-IN-ONE Partition Manager Software mentioned in the guide I linked, and if you do not already have it download the HD2 NAND Toolkit. You will also need to download and install Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center (these programs have the USB drivers you will need) depending on what version of Windows you have, you will just have to google for a download as I do not know what version of windows you have, I suggest you put both the WP7 ROM, the Android SD card build, and the 2.15.50.14 Radio in a folder that you can easily remember were they are on your computer. Also go ahead and install both the HD2 Toolkit and the partitioning software on your computer.
Now to make sure you do not have any problems with your SD card I recommend you do a full re-format of your SD card. You will need a USB card reader and a Micro SD card adapter.I linked them just so you will have a visual reference of what you need, but those are the ones I have and they work great. Aslo if your computer has a card reader you like mine does you just need a Micro SD card adapter. Now back to re-formatting your SD card.
Place your SD card in the Micro SD card adapter, then place the Micro SD card adapter in the USB card reader (or the USB card reader on your computer), and then plug the USB card reader into one of the USB ports on your computer. Let your computer install the drivers and go to the windows start menu and click on Computer or My computer depending on which version of Windows you are using. You should see the SD card as a removable drive. Right click the drive and select copy and then create a folder to paste the data that is on the SD card already so you will have a backup. Now right click on the drive again and select format, when the format window pops up make sure to uncheck the the box beside Quick Format and also make sure it says FAT32 under File System. Click Start and then click Ok on the warning window that pops up. Then set back and relax until the card is done being formatted.
Now you need to make sure you have at least 50% or more battery, but I suggest you have a full charge before you start just to be safe. Once you have the proper battery level you need to boot your HD2 into the bootloader by holding the volume down button down while you power on your HD2. When you see the multicolor boot connect it via USB and wait until you see the Serial in the white bar of the bootloader change to USB. Now open the folder with the 2.15.50.14 Radio in it and extract the files from the .rar file, you will need Win RAR to do this. Once you have the files extracted click on the CustomRUU.exe file and follow all of the on screen instructions. Once the RUU is done you will have the 2.15.50.14 Radio installed on your HD2.
Next you need to boot your HD2 back into the bootloader and connect it to your computer via USB again. Open the HD2NAND Toolkit and click on the Install HSPL button under Main Tools. Follow the on screen instructions and when it is done you will have HSPL 2.08 installed on your HD2. Now go back to the HD2 NAND Toolkit and click on the Insatall MAGLDR button under Main Tools. Follow the on screen instructions and when it is done you will have MAGLDR 1.13 installed on your HD2.
Now that you have MAGLDR installed on your HD2 it should only boot up to the MAGLDR 1.13 main menu. Go to option number 5 USB Flasher and then find the HD2O ROM file you downloaded and extract the files drom it. Once the files are extracted click on the DWI.exe and follow the on screen commands. When it is done you will have Windows Phone 7 on your HD2.
Now you need to follow the part of the guide you linked that I have quoted below. I left the link to the video of the method that I have quoted so watch it as it is a very good video. Oh and in case you do not notice it in the video, you need to hold down the power button while your HD2 is booting to boot to the MAGLDR main menu. And the video will show you how to get the Android build to boot on your HD2.

THIRD METHOD - USING A SINGLE SD CARD - HERE IS ANOTHER ALTERNATE METHOD PROPOSED BY XDA MEMBER HYELLOW (UPDATED)
1. Put your sd card inside the hd2 and power on.
2. Go to about screen, in settings, and reset your device. Let it reset and boot to WP7 again. While booting to WP7, it'll create the partitions it needs, so this is important. After you have gone through the setup wizard, go to about screen and reset your device again.
3. When it has booted into magldr screen, remove the sd card and insert into pc. (make sure that magldr is shown and stays there at bootup, otherwise it'll boot straight into wp7 without sd card and that is not what we want.
4. You'll see two partitions. A whopping 200mb of fat16 partition and the other is unformatted. Now right click on the unformatted partition and click delete. After that, click apply. Now you have unallocated space. Right click on the unallocated space and select create. Set parameters to logical and unformatted and size the partition. This will be your WP7 partition, so decide how much you want to allocate to it, this is permanent, no changes afterwards can be made. Also, make sure you move it to the end of the sd card in the same 'create' window. Hit apply. IMPORTANT When using this method make sure that the wp7 "unformatted partition" is larger than the Android partition otherwise the wp7 "unformatted partition" will move in 2nd place and you will not be able to resize the fat 16 / android partition.
5. Sit back and take a break.
break.
6. You now have a green fat16 partition to the left, some unallocated grey portion in the middle and your WP7 partition in modern turqoise colour on the far right. Agreed? Now remove the sd card from PC and insert in HD2.
7. After you have inserted the sd card, let it boot into WP7. Remember what your last action was when you were still in WP7? Yes, you pressed reset, so the device actually thinks he is still resetting the device. He might do it too, but just go through the setup wizard again.
8. Go to about screen and verify your storage. Don't look strange if when the storage has a different of about 1Gb, this is swallowed by WP7 for system stuff etc. Are you happy with the progress so far? Then power down your device and remove the sd card. Allow the HD2 to fully powered down as sometimes the screen is pitch black, but the device is still turning off.
9. Insert the sd card in pc and, using EASUS right click on the green fat 16 partition and select resize/move. Now fill up the rest of the unallocated space and hit apply. This is your android partition.
10. Format the sd android partition (not the whole sd card!) using EASUS to FAT32 using 32 or 64 kb cluster size and put an android build onto it and test.
11. IMPORTANT You need to convert the wp7 unformatted partition to primary for the sd android to see the sd card Use minitool partition wizard to do this. Right click on your WP7 unformatted partition and select modify and then click on set as primary and hit apply. Here is the link for minitool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10887494&postcount=372

Hope this is detailed enough for you.
T-Macgnolia did a great job with the walk-through the only thing I would suggest is that you can save yourself a LOT of headache if after you get the HD20 ROM installed use CAB Sender and send one of the partition updates from xboxmod to your phone. This will let you skip all the hard partitioning stuff. The CAB's with various partition sizes can be found HERE. After you send the CAB you will have to go to 'Settings' -> 'about' -> 'reset your phone' -> 'yes' -> 'yes'
From that point on you can finish with installing Android onto the SD card.

Well to be very honest to you I have only flashed four WP7 ROMs to my HD2. So my knowledge of the ends and outs of WP7 on the HD2 is somewhat limited. I do remember reading something about Cab Sender. I think you have your HD2 booted into the WP7 ROM and your HD2 connected via USB to your computer to I se the Cab Sender to transfer cab files to your HD2 and install them also. Maybe XDA Seior Member voluptuary can spread some more light on it for you. But if I remember correctly if what voluptuary is telling to do takes out Step 1 to 11 of the guide I qouted and everything in the video up to here he puts te Android build on the SD card as I think it will. Then I say it sounds like you may want to check it out I am willing to bet it is not complicated to figure out.
Now just on a side note, I do still say it would be a very good idea to still do it te other way even if you try the Cab Sender. It is always a very good idea of how to manually do things. This way you understand a little bit better what you are doing to your device. And remember knowledge is power.

All you would have to do is after you install the HD20 WP7 ROM send one of the partition CAB's I linked to earlier, so say you want a 2GB partition for Android you would send "DEV_EXTRAPART_2G.cab" with CAB Sender and then do a full reset from within WP7. Then let WP7 reboot and you should be all set to power down the phone take the SD card out and copy the 'Android' folder over to the SD card that you would have taken out of the ZIP from the AmericanAndroid thread. You have to be sure to follow the few instuctions in the AmericanAndroid ZIP readme to get it to boot via MAGLDR.
Then to point MAGLDR to the right place to boot Android you need to, while powering the phone on with the loaded up SD card, press and hold the power button to get into the MAGLDR menu then go to '10.

Well to get a Windows live account you just have to go to live.com and creat a account or just creat one when you go through the set up when you first boot WP7.
But I think what you are asking is how to get live services working. To do this you will have to contact Microsoft. Check out this thread for more details on it. I got my code over live chat on m computer, I told them it was a HTC HD7.
Or you can use skype and call 1-800-642-7676
its microsft Us support number and its toll free so you can call it on skype for free (from anywehre in world) say you have a technical problem and its user related.
then it will connect you to an operator
he/she will ask for your problem, just say u have a HTC HD7 phone and it wants a 25 digit activation code from u.
Then he/she will ask for your phone number, ur operator, ur email, and your name (don't worry they r not gonna spy on u, they just want it for registration, believe me I know ;-P )
then u have to be on hold for 5-10 mins and he/she will read u the activation code
BUT: if you have a poor connection or bad English language skills then the chat method is far better
PS: my opinion as an ORD? it doesn't worth the hassle. I remember after lots of hours spending online and finding the best rom and the best way to change to WP7 and finally activating it... I couldn't make it through the first day on WP7 (even thou I had SD android, the wake up bug really bugged me). then I just flashed to an ICS rom and then it was happily ever after
ok thanks evrey one soo i see a lot of ppl say thet WM7.5 is not thet good...
but i have 2 more qestion:
ace4cia i saw ICS on HD2 in youtube and i saw it is slow not moving fast do you have thet problam ?
and what rom do you advise?
and whan voluptuary says DEV_EXTRAPART_2G.cab its for the sastem only? if i install apps i can do it only on the 2 G or the all SD card

nope, not at all, well it's not like a quadcore phone but it is pretty well for ours, still far better than wp7 though ↖(^▽^)↗
and for the rom if ur looking for beauty and performance together the ics miui.us by smokin is awesome, but if ur looking for stock looks of ics and ofc performance then nexushd or aokp are cool too ㄟ(≧◇≦)ㄏ

[Q] HD2 with Windows Phone 7.8 can't do 4EXT recovery

Sorry to be such a late bird, but I'd like to have WP7.8 + NativeSD Android 4.x dual boot on my HD2.
So I did install MAGLDR 1.13 and flashed Dynamics_HD2O_HD2_2_21_Western, which works like a charm.
After that I followed the instructions of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880905, but this is where my issue is.
I have set up my SD card as outlined and put the 4EXT recovery (tried all three flavours) on the FAT32 partition along with EvoHd2v10final-fixedx.zip.
Then selected the recovery folder as AD Boot Dir in MAGLDR and tried to boot AD on SD.
After that I get 123456 GO GO GO but after a while first the green htc screen appears, stays for a while and then the phone reboots into MAGLDR.
What can I do to do a NativeSD setup?
Do I have to do a MAGLDR Repartition or a MAGLDR Update Recovery with HD2 Toolkit 4.3? With what parameters?
I have tried several Task28, Repartition parameters, ...
I tried with and without "Use Last 24MB" - some say it's required, some say it may cause bricking ...
I'm a bit lost. Please help!
Thanks
ScruffR
BTW: Would there be a way to copy the SD-ROM to the EXT4 partition manually (e.g. on a Linux box)?
Well ...

Dear friend ... why don't you try this guid :
First Let Me Tell You To Make A Copy Of All You Have On Your SD Card ... The Things Required Are :
1- HD2---------------------------------------------------------------------------->One
2- 2GB SD ( Optional But Its Better To Have One ... )--------->One
3-8 GB SD --------------------------------------------------------------------->One
4- WPH ROM ---------------------------------------------------------------->One
5- Native SD ROM ---------------------------------------------------------> As Much As Needed
Alright First You Need To Install Magldr 1.13 On Leo
then Put The 2 GB SD ON The Phone And Flash The WPH ROM ( You First Have To Go TO This Address On Magldr Services>Use Last 24 NAND And Enable It Then Flash The ROM)
Step Two -
When The WPH Rom Booted Shut Down The Phone And Take The SD Out And Use A " Mini Tool Partition Wizard " ( in PC ) To Copy The Big Partition To The 8GB SD ( First Format Then Delete The Fat32 Partition And Copy The Big Partition Of 2 GB SD To The 8GB SD But Don't Forget To Drag The Partition To The Right Part Of SD Diagram To Make The Partitions Show The Left ; Unformatted And The Right : The Coppied Partition
Now Right Click On The Unformatted ( Left ) Partition And Choose Create Then Creat A 64MB 4EXT To The Right ANd Then Creat A 2 GB To The Right Too Now Format The Remaining Part With FAT32 ... Now Your Partition Diagram ( The Diagram Showing The 8GB SD Should Be Like This:
/ Fat32 / EXT4 (2GB) / EXT4(64 MB) / Unformatted (The Copied Partition) /
Now It's Almost Done ... First Apply The Changes ( May Take Half An Hour ) Then Put The 8GB SD Into HD2 And Check If The WPH Still Works On Not ( It Should Work But IF Not Then You may Had Made A Mistake ) ... Alright Now Power Off And Take SD Out And Make A Folder In The SD Named "ICS" And Put All The Items Included in This File In It ... Now Put The SD On The HD2 And Go to This Address Service > BootSetting >AD SD Dir
And There Find ICS And Then Go TO The Main Menu And Choose Boot AD SD Now The SD Recovery Boots And You Can Flash Any Native SD Roms On It ( Or Boot SD ROMs On It ) ... Then You Have To Connect The Phone On The USB To The Computer And Do This Rename :
"ICS" -------------> "ICS4X"
"NativeSD" -----> "ICS"
Now You Can Get The Android Boot Easily Without Getting To The Magldr Menu ( I Mean Just Rename The Roms Folder TO "ICS" And Reboot Then Choose Boot Ad SD On Magldr To Get It Boot - You Also Can Do This Rename On Android's File Manager )
That's It ... Easy And Delicious As A Piece Of Cake ...
The Combination I Recommend Is BOXMAX S3.5 And ChauTien CM 11 ( They Are The Bests Of The Rest )
Wish you Bests
With Best Wishes

@hitman1376:
Thank you for this reply!
Obviously the 4EXT Recovery versions I tried were faulty. All three of them didn't work with my setup, but just to save some hassle, I tried your 4EXT Recovery_1.rar on my pre-partitioned SD before going through with the whole procedure you pointed out - and it worked immediately.
Thanks
Congrats ...
