Hi,
I intended to post this question to the [3.Nov.2012][ROM] NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.2 [NativeSD] thread, but not allowed to (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32624318)
Can someone help me redirect the question? Thanks!
First thanks for the great ROM, tytung. It looks great and easy to install.
I have a HD2 and wanted to dual boot WP7 and Android. Found this new method NativeSD and decided to try it. But once I installed the ROM (through MAGLDR 1.13 and Recovery 4Ext 2.2.7), everything works fine, except that the camera app (and other apps) says that it cannot find the external SD card to save the pictures. It does not give me options to save on phone. But since both system and data are on external SD, and that partition is treated as /mnt/sdcard0, I am not sure if I am supposed to have an external SD card from the perspective of Android.
Cannot seem to find similar post with this issue, so I must be doing something wrong with partitioning. Could you help??? Thanks so much! I am inches away from having a great Android JellyBean experience on my HD2.
Thanks!!!
-----------------------------------
Details:
4 partitions on my 16GB SD card:
1) FAT32, 3GB (this is the boot partition, where I installed Recovery 4Ext and through it, installed the boot files in /NativeSD)
2) Ext4, 8GB (this is the system/data partition, where installation put all Android files)
3) Ext4, 2GB (this is current empty, reserved for another ROM that requires two partitions)
4) Other, 2GB (this is a WP7 partition)
I formatted these using Mini Partition Tool on Windows (not via Recovery 4Ext)
I think you need to run CHKDSK on your FAT32 partition of the card with fix option, once, using a card reader and computer. Once done, put the card back to your phone and boot to your preferred Native SD rom. Then check whether you applications are able to trace the SD card. Should work, since the same worked for me, when I had a similar issue. Hope that helps.

Hi dheerajk27, thanks for your quick reply. Was wondering
1) should Android JB think that I have an external SD?
2) where will this external SD be mapped to? The Fat32 partition? The same Ext4 partition as system & data?
3) what would chkdsk do? I just want to make sure that it doesn't mess up the Win 7 stuff as well.
Thanks!
Hi braveliquid, welcome to the forum.
Did you set all your partitions as primary using minitool?
1. yes
2. depends photos/music => fat part, apps=>ext part
3. not sure either

Thanks for your reply. Upon multiple trial and error, I found out that the logical partition is the culprit. When I have 3 primary (FAT32, Ext4, Ext4), Android can recognize the ext SD card. However, when I have 3 primary and 1 logical (the Win Phone 7 partition is made logical by windows), then Android does not recognize the ext SD card anymore.
Any thought on how I can resolve this? Or else I will have to keep 2 SD cards, one for WP7, and one for Android. Doable, but a bit of a hassle.
Thanks!
use minitool and set your wp7 partition as primary too.
Problem solved.
you could use two cards, i am at the moment (I keep spare card in a cellotape pocket on inside of battery cover). You can also dual boot without partitioning see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34009754&postcount=1126 but only really as a backup phone in case wp7 goes wrong and you are away from pc.

Thanks Robbie. Yes, I have set the WP7 partition as primary and then it works! I am liking the Android experience (have been using iPhone).
Btw, in WP7, it is asking me to update software (I have a very old WP7 installation, migrated to dual boot in early 2011 i think). Can I just upgrade WP7 like normal (i.e. by connecting to Zune)? Or will that destroy MAGLDR? If that won't work, how can I upgrade WP7 to 7.5 or later 7.8? I cannot use Windows Market Place apparently with the old WP7 OS.
Thanks again!

I would just flash one of the new wp7.8 roms, your choice which. Ansar's does not seem to be able to use the new wpbackup app at the moment.
With Hd2o and pdaimatejam you can backup your phone and restore apps sms calls etc. Sooo much better for trying out new roms.

Hello,
is it necessary to format the SD Card before installing Android? Or different question: I want still be able to run WinMo on my HTC HD2 Leo and use all my programs I've installed on the SD Card - can I copy all files on the SD-Card to my PC, install Android and copy them back?
Thanks so much!

it isn't necessary to format, tho i have seen a number of posts from people claiming to have corruption & lag issues until they did reformat, so you may want to, just to be safe.
personally ive only done a full format once, just after buying the card almost a year ago & haven't had any problems to date (touch wood)
as for still using winmo & files, you can as long as you're using an SD build
all the best
I have tried both ways and worked fine for me.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
not needed , it is optional.............i have all my winmo related files and 2 android builds running from the same card, never done a format.....working wonderfully well from the start.............ifi t doesnot work, then try format like some people say
Thanks so much!! I tried to copy everything but can't copy one file: XMEMediaLibrary.mlb (some process uses it).
So I will first try to install Android without format.
Gromhelm
Did it and no problems untill now. I am amazed by Android on HD2! Even Layar is working!!
some manufacturer will format their card with SD Association standard because SD Association think they know best about SD Card.
they even say this in http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter:
SD or SDHC memory card file systems formatted with generic operating system formatting software do not comply with official SD memory card requirements and optimum performance may not be experienced.

what they refuse to admit is everybody has given up hopes to do anything that does not work with old Microsoft standard, long before SD Association was founded in 2000, so everything (phone, camera, mac, linux) will work if you format it with FAT32.
to be safe, after you buy any card, just use Windows to format and you can be sure it will works on any device. just select default file system and default cluster size, or just click restore device default, and you're good to go. it's so easy and you don't have to know anything.
if you wonder why android works only on 32 or 64bit cluster size, it's because that's FAT32 default cluster size depending on your card size. and one day, i predict android will also work on exFAT.
With the recent developments of Android and WP7 for the HD2, I really can't decide between the two. Will there be an option of dual boot like with WM6.5? I'd love to have this option.
I would definitely love for this to happen, although WP7 is in the lead for me now, booting android once in a while wont be so bad.
i think itz possible in tmobile usa HD2 with itz 1gb ROM ... two partitions using two NAND OS... dual NAND..
I'm very interested in this option. Hopefully this will be available soon.
I hoppe we find a solution for Leo from EU (512Mo).
Like WIN6.5 + Android on SD ?
My favorite way : Android in NAND, WP7 on SD !!
think we should be able to still boot android off sd with magldr... we just need to switch to a different sd card that wasn't used with wp7. I hope its possible. will be trying it soon.
i would love to do this, i have a 124 leo.
F*ck the 512!
Android+WP7 would be sweeeet for 1024!

But since your lazy, yes there is. Its called Titanium backup and it saves all your apps and settings into a file. When you install a new build just recover that file from within Titanium backup and all your apps and stuff will be there.

How would you boot android from nand if you can't access the file system of the SD card?
Its an unknown format and magldr surely won't be able to boot anything from it.
Maybe it works the other way round, though?
Or you could use your phone7 without sd card...
hey that may even work.
Limited storage for phone7 - who cares?

Here's that thread translated:

I have already declared in the title dual boot, or have friends do not understand the altar. After the following modifications, select the boot wph start guide wp7, select the boot ad sd sd boot on Android , Android WP7 and dual-boot, the boot options can, without disturbing each other. Start wp7 will not interfere with sd card, wp7 sd card did not even know exist, the question is wp7 little space available, but at least can be used.
Expect experts to address the first time in wp7 can choose to start the occupation of the sd card space, do not fully occupied enough.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ---------------
Thank DFT ! Because SD Android running well, I have not brush Nand Android, waiting for the arrival of WP7.
Today, DFT has released long-awaited HD2 users WP7, I finally started to brush. Brush some of the altar before the access to the Friends of the experience, that really exclusive WP7 SD card, which can later how to run Android.
I have access to the information carefully and found that the SD card as WP7 only system expansion space, the first start of the SD card partition to use. Therefore, I decided to removed the SD card so reserved for Android use.
PC: Windows 7
HD2: SHPL 2.08
SD: Sandisk 8G c4 (from the phone in the show)
The following is the process of Brush:
1. Three-color screen brush Magldr 112 (all normal, NES Set )
2.Magldr start to select the USB Flasher, PC-side DWI (all normal)
3. Phone reboots directly into the WP7, simple to use, after all the normal (free space 98M)
4. Handset off
5. Insert SD card
6. boot holding down the hold button, enter the Magldr menu
7. Set always shows the menu (to decide, because I want to dual-boot often, so set the boot menu)
8. Set the boot path SD card Android
9. Guide the SD Android, the show finished HTC interface (kernel, Init after) boot into Andoird animation between the phone restart
Episode: I stupid out, SD card, there are a lot of information not backed up, hands and no card reader, can not enter the Andoird, the backup can not, WP7, when not installed into the SD card, do not expect him to. Fortunately, there are menu items that Magldr USB storage (my first use of Magldr), select this option, the memory card sorting.Remove the SD card all the Android-generated directory (the directory is generated Android, do not also delete a Android), re-boot, the first screen to enter Andoird die.
10. Online access to information, Magldr guide SD card Android, need to modify inti.rc.
11. Will system.img (I use the DHD Android) copied to the Linux modified.
In the service ril-daemon / system / bin / rild-l / system / lib / libhtc_ril_wrapper.so append --d / dev/smd0 nand parameters, to support
Nand boot.
12. Returns Android phone, after a successful boot.
Nagging: WP7 egg really hurt, WIFI without any settings, I have been using a static IP, can not be set.

He's dual booting, but none of the SD card space is for WP7. It only has around 100megs left. WP7 automatically RAID0's the whole card with internal memory for space. That's why removing the card screws up WP7 and a hard reset has to be done. I think what would be ideal is if the card could be split into 8gb for WP7 and 8GB for Android, but part of the problem is you can't call HARET.exe or CLRCAD.exe because there is no OS to understand those executables.
Hi,
Interested to see if this is possible, Simply because MAGDLR 1.12 has the SD Android boot option BUT NAND flashing of WP7 rom does something ? to the SD card, pretty much leaving the SD card useless unless formatted back to Winmo/Android, BUT the second catch is, if the card is formatted back AFTER WP7 flash, WP7 on HD2, then WP7 doesn't work properly ... A catch 22. Anyway around this, or maybe something I'm missing ?
Working
I got both of them dual booting and working great so far...
1) Do an AD hard reset from MAGLDR boot menu
2) Flash windows nand rom (dont boot)
3)Boot into MAGLDR and connect as USB mass storage
4)Format SD card
5)Put an SD android build onto sd card
6)Go into services, bootsettings, set sd dir to android folder
7)I personally set it to show menu on boot so I could choose which one to boot
7)Reboot in MAGLDR and choose boot ad sd
8) Setup android
9) Reboot and choose WPH
10) setup WP7
Good LUCK!
What about using the SD card still? How much storage do you have when you boot into Android?
EDIT: I tried but when it boots into Android, the whole build is frozen

Correct me if I am wrong, but this leaves only internal storage for WP7. I have a telstra t9193 with 512 or so mb internal. Once it is synced with my exchange and emails, I can't even load a song from zune on my hd2 as there is no space left.
Guess the tmobile hd2 has more space left for apps etc.
I am trying to find a way to resize the wp7 sd card partition but this does not seem easy.
I need a dual partition for my sd card. One for wp7 and one for Android. Unfortunately wp7 seems to take all the sd card except for 200 mb which is too small for an android build.
If anyone has a solution, I would appreciate.
Thanks
It doesn't work. He's just lying.
I attempted those steps and and soon as you setup WP7, the Android folder is all gone.
You have 200mb space which isn't space for a proper Android build. Maybe if we find a hack to increase this size to at least 1 gig then we should be able to do it.

That's what I got too. I even tried putting separate partitions on the sd card (ie. linux swap) to try to fool wp7 into deleting only the fat 32 one but it also did not work.
I have resulted to using 2 sd cards, one for wp7 and one for android. I have to make a holster for them so that I may swap them at will
EDIT: THE CURRENT SD ANDROID BUILDS DO NOT YET WORK WITH WP7 ON NAND - THEY LOAD BUT FREEZE AFTER THE LOCK SCREEN AND ALL YOU GET IS THE WHITE HTC SCREEN.

What works well for holding an extra sd card is to cut a microsd sized piece of foam out of the middle of the foam on the inside of the back cover. If you cut it right so it kinda hugs the sides of of the microsd, it will hold it in place well so you don't have to worry about it falling out when you take the back off.

It pretty much says never use the sd card with wp7 in the first place, however then it can never be used giving very little storage. Also I don't believe that there are any magldr compatible sd builds on xda, though I could be wrong...
Im booting up WP7 without the need for SD card.. Everythings seems working like normal..
And no partition on my SD card.. (My SD card is still clean but still can run..)
Uhh.... Is this normal....? Does this mean I can just copy DL's 2.2 SD Android onto my SD card?
wp7 and android
hi guys if you create two partitions on a 16gb sd card you will have two cards one for wp7 and one for android
how come it says that we need an sd card to run WP7 but you guys says ur running it on the same device with no problems without one. If that was the case then whats with all the insturctions on partitions and things. Also how do you run a Android sd rom from MAGLDR so that I canrun Android on my sd and WP7 On NAND. Thanks

now i'm very satisfied with Android, and want to install a new build of wp7 without toutching Android ! how to do? if i install wp i think i will damage android partition in my SD card plz help

That is correct, if you reinstall WPH it will (re)format your SD card and so erase the Android partition.
But some guys here will surely provide the anwser to that problem.

Should be easy, in theory at least.
1. Use a disk imaging software to make an image of the entire partition you use for Android and save that image on your computer.
2. It'll perhaps be a good idea now to delete the Android partition or better yet, delete both WP7 and Android partitions altogether and make just one FAT32 partition spanning the entire card. This might not be necessary but it'll give the next step a stock, empty, Fat32 formatted SD card to begin with.
3. Install the new WP7 build.
4. Go through the entire process of setting up the partitioning for dual-booting the way you did it in the first place with your previous setup.
5. Once you have the Android partition resized and formatted...simply write the disk image saved from step 1 to it using your favorite disk imaging software.
Please note that I have NOT tried this out and can't confirm if it'll work but in theory, it should. Also, if you keep the partitions exactly of the same size that you had in the first place with your original dual-boot setup, it'll *probably* increase the chances of it working in the end.
Hope it helps. =)
I agree with HQRaja.
I would simply create a folder on your Desktop and call it Android Partition Backup, or something simular. Insert the memory card and only the Fat32 partition will be visable in Windows so select everything and move it to the newly created folder on your Desktop. Install Sd Formatter from here. Once launched click on options, Format Type as Full Erase, Format Size Adjustment as On then OK. This will format not only your fat32 partition but remove all partitions as well. Then install the new WP7 Rom, Dual Boot as before and then copy everything from your backup folder back onto your card.
If you feel you dont have enough room for music, apk's or want to try mulitple Android Roms while still using WP7, the keep an eye out for my new tutorial where you can have say over 11gb for Adroid and over 3gb for WP7. It is written out but will read it through more tomorrow to make sure it is ok before uploading. I would do it tonight except my Mrs is nagging and I have been summond .
Hope this helps.
I have been searching for a solution where I can increase/allocate 75% space in sd card for android use and the remaining for w7. I heavily used android because of more games and applications. I am using w7 just for show
Hey Guys
I had a quick look around the forum and on Google, but I didn't see anyone else having found this out, so here it is...
You go into MADLDR, SERVICES, and then CLEAR SD MBR, which will delete the partitioning. Then, if you use EaseUS partition master (google it) to create a primary FAT32 partition and then format it, it will recognize it in another android phone (well, it did in my xperia play).
If somebody else who has a HD2 and another android phone could give it a go and let me know if it works, I would be grateful.
AND.... please hit thanks if it works for you!
EDIT: Actually, if you just CLEAR SD MBR in MAGLDR, SERVICES, then put the SD card in another phone, it asks if you want to format it. Then you don't have to mess about with EaseUS partition manager! Result!!
if card used with Yuki ROM must unlock first with cab file or formatted in old Nokia phones
SD cards from all others (Pdaimatejam, ansar, HD2Owner...) is easy format with SDFormatter (in option must select "format size adjustment)
next time look here on forum.. too much posts about this is here...
waste of space
Mate, what a waste of space - sounds like your SDCard was never "locked" in the first place
Well, actually it 'was' locked, because I put it in my xperia play and it didn't recognize it until I did this. Also, don't speak to me like that - it's very rude.

no is not locked... other phones cant read WP7 partition... locked sd card is when you cant format it...

If you had searched you would have found the thread mentioned below, rather than wasting space here - it is not rude to be honest.

the three possibilities:
1. fully LOCKED and Win O/S UNRECOGNIZED SDCards - happens when you have a problem with the WP7 install (only a Nokia device will unlock)
vs
2. A Rom locked SDcard, such as locked by Yuki and Xboxmod's rom (needs DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab or Nokia device to unlock)
vs
3. Win O/S RECOGNIZED but unreadable SDCards (with the standard 200 partition of the newer WP7 roms).

Ok, my bad...
This is slightly off topic, but its the most relevant place I could find for this question. I currently have a tri-boot setup with Pdaimatejam Windows Phone 7.8 and NativeSD android. Is it possible for me to interchange Windows Phone roms (downgrade to 7.5) and have the new ROM detect the windows partition straight out, or will I have to start from scratch again and reformat all partitions?

I'm pretty sure you have to start again from the beginning and reformat all the partitions. WP7 always reformats the SD when it does the setup.
