1) I've read other's who have had a similar problem. Search the forums. I believe it has something with residuals from previous ROMs. Try task29 before flashing.
2) Seriously asking this???? You use Zune to put content on to your phone! WP7 works through Zune. Have you not read any of the "how-to install WP7" write-ups and the requirements for syncing with your PC?
It isn't any different from what you did with WM6.5, just a different interface.

Ignore him, i dont know why his ranting on about zune and WM6.5
But he is right in that this is covered on here already
Try searching for "200MB" on the search this forum tool, heres a couple to get you started.

I didn't look at the links, but it basically has to do with how WP7 formats your SD card. It can be reformatted in a way that reflects the size of the card. I can provide you with more help if you'd like.

hey drewden.. thanks for the info. below is what a poster said on one of the links. I'm going to try it so i can get my sd card back to 16 GB again:
Enter MAGLDR, go to USB, connect it to the computer, run SD Formatter,Select correct drive, Options - Format Type= Full Erase On -Format Size Adjustment =ON.
This has been covered many times since the introduction of WP7.

Kool, if all else fails download an HP utility tool that reformats and set the bit flags back to default so the true size is reflectec. Search for HP format utility on google.

hi, dazza.. i took your advice and i got my sd card reformatted to 16GB. but, now my hd2 with wp7 gives me an error that says :
storage card not working.
your storge card has changes, is damaged, or is non-compliant.
to fix this, turn off your phone and either remove the storage card or replace it with a new compliant card. then youll need to reset your phone to the original factory settings."
so what how can i fix this?

ah yes, sorry bit of an assumption made there! you will need to hard reset and install again, or reflash, its up to you, on the positive side, with only 200mb storage you'll not have lost much. your activation code if you have one should still work

you need to reflash the rom as wp7 foramts and partitions the card during setup, if you change the sd card then wp7 loses its settings and you need to reinstall

The Hd7 will become king of the hill once they crack it wide open, theres little difference between the two of them but the HD7 with its more vibrant screen does look a bit better. I still long for the day someone can get WM booting of an SD card, via magldr that is. however in saying all of that, dispite the HD2s drawbacks i still think it has the edge at the moment, purely because there is little that wont work with it, but least you gave it a shot. Good luck with the HD7

i guess thats one of the issues that has to be dealt with then using an os not designated for the device, there will always be quirks and issues

well if you would have read what your doing when installing windows phone 7 you would have known that this happens.
windows phone 7 doesn't support sd cards, thats why the card is formatted when installing it and you have only 200mb left. the rest of the card is in wp7s discformat and you can use it as your internal storage.
so when you farmatted your sd card to get back your 16gb as fat partition you deleted system files of wp7 that were on the card. that's why this error occured.
if you would read the instructions in the rom threads and the stickies you would have known all this. everything is clear and easy when you inform yourself before starting with something and there are a lot of threads explaining everything in detail.

TUT on How-to Dual Boot Mango RTM & Android SD?

Now that the ever resourceful Yuki/xboxmod have availed to us the Sd Unlocker Cab making it possible to dual boot the Mango RTM and Android, could somebody please take us through the step by step guide about enabling this. I have waited for this day a long time and I guess my prayers have now been answered But.... I am on NoDo and I want to make the big jump to Mango/Android dual boot in the smoothest way possible.

A little update.
SDCARD & ANDROID RELATED CABS:
Download link
These files change the size and format of the SDcard extrapartition
This partition is used as working part for updates and to save logs
It is usually formated as FAT16 and sized of 200MB
So choose the file which the number of GB you want, send the cab to device and Reset
The first partition will have the new size now and already formated in FAT32
So you can use it as USB key or for Androïd without having to do it manually
Take care if you reset again datas on it will be lost
If you want to revert back to FAT16, 200MB just use DEV_EXTRAPART_REMOVE and reset
This feature is to be used beside DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab
With this tool you can unlock your SDcard
The card will be relocked after each reboot to WP7 what is a security in case of stolen device
So use the tool each time you want to boot to Androïd or use SDcard as USB key.

After installing the EXTRAPART cab (of whatever GB u want) u must go to settings, about , and RESET wp7. After the reset is complete the partition should already exist.
When you want to use android, go to the applications list, storage lock, and unlock the sd card if it is not already unlocked. Restart your HD2 and boot into android. If u want to go back to wp7 just restart your phone again.
Remember that if u boot into wp7 after android again, u must unlock your sd card using the storage lock app again, before booting into android for it to work...

On the first post of the ACA thread it says "Includes optional rootfs.img that allows to boot build from magldr (!readme! in /sdcard/Android/SDMAGLDR)"
Follow instructions in the readme.
Also in Magldr -> 10 services / 1 Bootsettings / 3 AD SD Dir / Android (not Androi~ or anything similar)

Newbie question: Step prior to step 4 above.
I already downloaded my Android files sitting on PC with folder name ../Android.
My question .. How do I copy exactly these Android files to the partinioned folder of my microSD card?
Via Zune or Do I need to remove the sdcard from phone first and insert it in my PC to perform the copy?
I'd appreciate if someone can provide the necessary steps.

Best to remove card and use an external reader. Use partition software like easus or minitool and format the partition to be fat32 (make it primary and 32kb cluster size) then you can just copy/paste it right from explorer.
This is all under the impression that you can see the card in windows. If you cannot, it means you didn't run the StorageLock cab in WP7 before you rebooted.

Thanks for your little guide [email protected]

Thank you! I just used the sd adapter, insert to pc and copy the android files with no issues. I thought it was hard initially but everything went fine. Dual boot mango and android is perfectly working .

so after mango is installed - I presume the sd card will be locked right?
if i install DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab this should unlock it but if install the partion DEV_EXTRAPART_xxxG.cab do i still need to use easeus and mini tool to partition the sd card?
sorry for noob like questions

When your XBmod/Yuki WP7 Mango 7720 is now running successfully, you have now the option to do a dual boot with Android following the steps below.
1. Send the DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab via the sender tool. I am not sure if necessary but I think I’d rebooted my phone first after the install of the storagelock.
2. After the reboot you’ll see 'StorageLock' tile in home, click it and click yes to unlock first the sd card.
3. Once unlocked, send the DEV_EXTRAPART_xxxG.cab next
4. Once done you need to reset the phone via settings>about. I repeat reset and not just reboot for the partition to take effect. You don't need to use easeus and mini tool, the DEV_EXTRAPART_xxxG.cab will partition the card for you as well as format it to FAT32. Special thanks for XBMod/Yuki for that.
5. After the reset, you can go to 'settings>about>more info' just to verify the WP7 total and available storage space has been reduced.
6. Once verified, click the 'StorageLock' tile again, to unlock the card again. Everytime you do a reboot the sd card will be locked automatically.
7. Once unlocked, turn off the WP7 as normal.
8. Safely remove your micro sd card from HD2. Insert the card to your SD card adapter and then insert to your PC. Your PC should recognize the card. This is the method I used.
9. Copy the Android files that you extracted to the root of the SD card.
10. Once done, insert it back to your HD2 and you're set to boot the phone to Android via MAGLDR.
Note: Before you proceed to boot Android the first time, you need to follow the guide on where you extracted the Android files on what else to be done/MAGLDR settings etc. My first attempt was not successful due to some missing files required by MAGLDR but after few readings here and there, I finally made it through. I guess on the 4th attempt.
Good luck

First you have to send this cabhttp://xboxmod.sylvester20007.com/cabs/sdcard/DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab with cab sender and then you sould be able to see the card in windows and then format it with sdformater with the option "format size adjustment" . hope this help.

[SOLUTION] Unlock SDCARD after WP7 the easy way...

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...

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?

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.

you followed wrong tips...
you need format card with this

in Option before format turn on "format size adjustment"
if you used YUKI ROM (BTTF) then you must unlock card before format...

How can I multiboot WP7.8 and Native SD Android? I have already installed Native SD android with MAGLDR and that kind of stuff. But how can I install WP7.8 and multiboot?
Thanks!

There are guides eg http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880905
And wp7 has to be done first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815 then you already know how to set up nativeSD partition and install
Remember to back up anything first since installing wp7 will wipe everything on your card

Okay. Thanks. I have decided to just go for WP7.8. Do I have to do full wipe(Task29) and flash MAGLDR again? Also do I need to use the UseLast24NAND on Pdaimatejam's rom, I dont want to brick my phone, have read that it can brick it? I am just going to format the SD card into FAT32, and CLEARSD MBR?

Check out dxdy's signature http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51281627&postcount=3614 full of good links and a tutorial.
you will have to use last 24mb and clear sd mbr
as for task29, don't think it is necessary. wp7 installation formats nand and sdcard to create one raid type memory over both medias
don't think formatting sdcard is necessary either, but if you do, use https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
good luck
