Hello everybody,
I can't seem to find an answer to this, though it seems to be a rather basic question.
Is it possible to run two different Android roms on one HD2?
I am currently running Hyperdroid cm7 (Clk-version) and would like to try either a MIUI Rom or a beta-ICS SD-Version, anyone know if and how this would be possible?
Thanks in advance, JW
sure is, through magldr, choose boot ad sd to boot to sd android, or boot ad nand to boot to nand. then, in magldr - services, you can set which you preffer to auto boot, or you can set it to always show the magldr menu and let you decide which to boot.
Thanks for the answer, though I'm not sure I'm willing to go back to Magldr, i like being able to charge my phone while its off.
Thank you though
and just how often is your phone off? mine hasnt been off for, oh, 18 months,,,
You are right on that one, but when I was used Magldr I used to be paranoid about my battery dying since I would have to somehow turn my phone on so it can charge (I am not sure if that would even be a problem, but I feel safe now ) - hope you understand what I mean - in my head it kinda makes sense^^
hehe, in teh event of a dead battery, an old usb cable with teh end cut off, red and black wires bared and held to the battery + and - for 60 seconds will give the battery enough juice to start booting and charging starts halfway thru booting.

i have been using Magldr only since nov11. everytime my phone out,just plug it it,n it will auto boot.
nwy got a problem here,
i've been using ICS beta on NAND, then tried to install sense on SD.but after bootanimation finish,its not running sense(SD), its running the ICS.
do u guys now whats the problem??
I have been considering dual booting from SD and nand. Is it possible to have it automatically boot from the rom on the SD?

Did you boot into MAGLDR, select AD SD Dir then boot into AD SD? If not, try booting into MAGLDR then selecting boot AD SD, should work

Yes, just go into bootsettings in Services (in MAGLDR) then select AD SD.

I was running WP7 and SD AS for long time and wanted to try NAND but when I tried to boot from SD again it would boot loop NAND boot screen. I flashed WP7 back to NAND and SD works, so I think there is something in the boot partition to allow for SD boot in WP7 build and not in the NAND since most of them use SD-EXT.
I also want to try out ICS, but need easy access to my daily SD (ACA)
I had the same problem. I learned only few Kernels are able to boot SD Builds via Magldr, as described in following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375554
I changed to a different Kernel that actually worked for me. But now I stuck at another problem. I wanted to apply a glitch fix but it seems that broke my SD AD .

War_child,
Which kernel should be changed then, i'm little confused. The NAND or SD. This might be a dead end since I would like to try ICS on NAND instead of WP7
You have to change the Kernel in SD Android

Hmm, so the SD kernel boots fine when WP7 is in NAND but the same kernel doesn't when Android is in NAND. Interesting

I tried 3Dak's R2.9, but I think as I now have to reinstall SD AD I will try hastarin.

Seems like the other Kernels are scanning NAND for Android and only if nothing is found they boot from SD. But I'm no dev so it's just a guess
Hi, with no success installing Hyperdroid I decided to install this ROM:
MDJs_CyanogenMod7_v2.6_NAND_A2SD+CWM.zip
Installed:
Radio - 2.15.50.14
HARDSPL - 2.08
Magldr - v1.11
CWM Rec - v3.0.0.5
I took Hyperdroid off by doing a task 29 and re-installing everything again along with the new ROM (above).
On restarting the device, the blue Android comes up but the phone doesn't go any further. I've left it for up to half hour and still nothing. Tried resetting several times and still the same thing.
What am I doing wrong ??
Also, is there a way to easily remove a previous ROM without having to taks 29?
Thanks
I don't know about MDJ's ROM's , but they are pretty much old.
I assume your problems are being derived from not using the proper partition size.
Installing CWM is not enough, you need the proper partition as well.
As far as I know MDJ never made and CWM builds; I recommend going with Typhoon CM7 NAND... way better than MDJ - and there is no issues as with MDJ not willing to provide the source of his ROM (in other words - it may do whatever and however and be unsafe from the financial perspective - you never can find out).
Thanks guys, I'll try Typhoon CM7 NAND.
Is the HTC HD2 supported as I've been on the CyanogenMod weblog and it isn't listed?
If not which can I use.

...Is that a serious question?
Typhoon CM7 NAND is CM7 and think about your question... is the HD2 an Android device in the first place? No.
HA HA so it is!
How can I get past the bootup screen - it is frozen on the htc logo in green.
I've tried flashing it again and nothing.
What is the recommended partition for this as this is the only thing I can think that I'm doing wrong?
go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913 download the 150mb partition if you're going to be using typhoon cm7 ( which is a fast, stable rom) and flash rom as usual in recovery. If you experiment with a bunch of different roms i would suggest downloading the HD2 Toolkit
You can also try Dorimanx Rom, which is also based on CM7.
try new rom like hyperdroid or typhoon, they good
Hi,
I hope this question will not touch your nerves...
I already can flash Winmo or Android (SD or NAND). I Know how MGLDR and CWM are working. Now I wanted to install WinMo 6.5 AND android on SD, and keep the MAGLDR as bootloader. But, if I flash a WINMO rom, then I loose MAGLDR, and if I install MAGLDR after the winmo, i get Win no booting anymore.
How can I do? Thanks!
i think it's not possible.

Not possible, MAGLDR completely replaces WinMo and vice versa. Although, you could flash WP7 from MAGLDR and have Android SD if you wanted Or, if you wanted to keep WM6.5 surely the logical thing to do would be to run WM6.5 and an SD Android build? MAGLDR serves no functionality with an SD build of Android
Thanks both!
Yeah i realized it's not possible. I would like to have he best way to boot android (mounted on SD) without struggle woth windows each time. I want to keep the 6.5. At the moment i'm trying rundroid out, any better suggestion?

Nah RunDroid was the best for me when I used SD Android
As for the skipping WinMo part, if you never want to use it again why not flash NAND Android?
i agree, i don't understand why people ever want to run WM on their HTC HD2, android is way better in my opinion.

I agree, I was die-hard WinMo when Android first started working on SD and I only played with it as a hobby. Now I haven't used WinMo since earlier this year and will never go back. Team Blue Droid on Nand and ICS on SD is my way to go now.
Hello.
After a long time, i want to give a try to another ROM in my phone. However, i have a few questions as the phone wasn't "made" by me.
I bought the phone and it came already with Froyo with Sense installed (Although in hardware info it says it is an HTC Desire.) but very stable
Finally with HTC Super tool i rooted the phone. Everythings seems ok with root checkers and titanium backup.
Now. The phone starts android using MAGLDR, it even had a nice splash screen that sayd android HD2 and after the dark forces splash screen. With this, the ROM is in the phone memory right? Can i load a rom from the SD card and keep Froyo in the phone in case something is wrong? Should i wipe entirely and depend on the backups if something goes wrong?
I'm interested in trying CM7 and MUIU. Should i learn about clk?
any other advice? This will be my first flashing and i really find Froyo very stable, but having this device and not trying something else seems like a waste.
Last in priority... if i would be interesting in trying also WP7 Mango, but keeping Android as my main OS, what are steps to go? need to partition my card or make important decisions before?
Thanks for all the help!
in order to flash mango you have to wipe android from nand.
you can run an android sd build without wiping the present nand build. you can try 3dak's miui rom in sd android section.
if you want to run your hd2 in maximum performance i recommend using hyperdroid cm7 rom in nand android section.
Hi
If your HD2 had Froyo installed, it was more than probably already rooted when you received it
Installing a ROM on your SD card is safe and won't break anything in your phone's memory as long as you follow the installation procedure of your ROM carefully. Make sure that you pick up a ROM in the HD2 Android SD Development forum
Ok. so WP7 will be a no for the moment.
will try then some sd card methods and roms.
Once i find one that i like, i should move it to nand right?
I thought the phone would be rooted since the beggining also, as it even had SU installed, but after trying to use titanium, SU itself, terminal and rootchecker everything said it wasn't. Thought it was funny. Now everything works.
Will pass by SD forum then.
Thanks!
If you want to install the ROM on NAND, you can't install the ROM that you used for SD, you have to find the NAND version of the ROM in the HD2 Android NAND Development
Installing on NAND is quite more difficult when you begin. It's also more dangerous and might brick your phone if you don't take care.
Follow one of the tutorials posted on the forum, you'll have to make familiar with a lot of terms and tools, and it's important that you understand all your actions.
Always make a backup prior to install a new ROM, for this you have to use the Backup/Restore tool of ClockworkMod... your new home
(You start ClockworkMod from MAGLDR - Option "AD Recovery")
Good luck
Thanks for the advices.
I´ve been playing with miui for a few days and so far i like it.
Question.
Right now im playing with my htc sense rom in nand, and miui in sd.
Even if the apps of the htc are in the sd, miui cannot see them. Do i have to redownload and reinstall everything i need for miui?
Specially worried about some apps that were payed...

No just download 'titanium backup' from the Android Market, backup all apps then restore them on the SD build.
i have WP7.5 on Nand and multiple android builds on my SD card, but i want to try this build
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289477
although all other android builds boot perfectly, but i cant this build to boot, it just stays on the black HTC logo and reboots. am i missing anything ?
I had the same problem....seems that sense roms couldn't boot if you have not a sense rom on nand (for me, maybe is not)
solutions: don't use sense roms XD or try them on nand, but IMO they are too heavy and laggy...
