hi guys i have this problem: for a mistake i deleted the wp nand rom on hd2, and now i have the sdcard with many video files that i wanna save!
there is a way for save this files? i can flash a wp7 rom with a new sd card and then insert the old sdcard? or there are other ways?
hehehe... you dont accept fact and after few posts open new topic...
forget it... no way to extract files from WP partition... in two years nobody make this
if you want, save SDcard or make partition backup if someone (not likely but maybe, who know) make solution for this....
next time be smart and use Zune...
you could try to re-flash WP7 with a different card but must be exactly the same as your previous SD & "Maybe" WP7 will still recognize the Old card that you used before, give it shot & let us know
you may delete or formatted your SD card by accident or mistakenly operation, then you may feel panic and wonder if there is any way to recover those deleted, formatted and lost files, you can try this:
no, try what?

Pretty much exactly what the title says. I have Yuki's v4 lang 2 WP7 Rom installed, as well as Rafdroid's android SD build on my SD card. I would like to update to Yuki's v5 lang 2, but I don't want to do that if it's going to mean I have to reinstall WP7 and Rafdroids SD build losing everything because that takes forever and I don't want to lose all of my data. So if anyone knows how to do this without having to repartition the drives please point me in the right direction ! Thanks.
I was sort of wondering the same thing. This is something I want to try: Install the new ROM with no SD card on the phone, then factory reset and put the SD card back on while in magldr... I think it should work just like when resizing the wp7 partition to dual boot Android... but don't know for sure... Yet!
That might work, but I have a feeling when you flash without the SD card, some problems are likely to occur. That or when you put the SD card back in after flashing a new WP7, it might re-partition the drives to FAT16 and unallocated. I'll give it a go, because I'm going to put a new SD build on my card anyways, I'll let you know how it turns out.
EDIT: Nope that didn't work, it re-partitioned the drive just like I thought it would.
Anybody got any more ideas for other people to try?
idk if this will work, but if you have a spare sd card, flash it with that in it then put in the old one
I've also heard you can copy the partitions to a separate drive (such as a separate SD or USB hard drive) and then copy them back after you've reinstalled the WP7 ROM, however it didn't work for me (I'm using Xbmod v 1.11 NoDo). WP7 kept saying "Your storage card has changed, please format or replace blah blah" something like that.
You can try it but I would suggest just doing it the long way as you know it'll work, and you're less prone to make mistakes once you get it down (after wasting HOURS of making mistakes, I can reflash a windows ROM and re-partition everything including putting my Android build back in under 15 mins
Hello,
So unfortunately i must write in to this forum because i am a newbie
I work for it since 3 days and searched for solutions but now i must ask, because i tried this 15 times and it doesn't work...
This helps me a bit ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815 ), but no one have this problem...
So i want a dualboot on my hd2 with win phone 7.5 and android on one sd card (later change the boot in magldr when it works).
Okay first i load the storage lock on my hd2 to unlock the card then i put it off and take the sd card in a reader to change the partitions (like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTHRAUHZHlo&feature=relmfu ). In the video it works to put on the phone after this changes, but on my hd2 i take the sd card into the phone an after the reboot comes only that the storage card changed and is damged. the only way after this is to turn off the phone and do a hardreset...
Is there a solution for my problem that i can change the partitions and take the sd card into the phone to boot win 7.5 normally?
thank you
Hey, I´m guessing you are on xbmod/yukis WP7 Rom?!
Then this is the way to go:

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.
DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab
this will install unlock tool for your sd card (possibility of dualboot)
DEV_STORAGELOCK_REMOVE.CAB
(remove unlock tool take care sdcard will be relocked at reboot.)
(those need a reset from about screen)
DEV_EXTRAPART_10G.cab
DEV_EXTRAPART_12G.cab
DEV_EXTRAPART_14G.cab
DEV_EXTRAPART_16G.cab
DEV_EXTRAPART_18G.cab
DEV_EXTRAPART_1G.cab
DEV_EXTRAPART_20G.cab
DEV_EXTRAPART_2G.cab
DEV_EXTRAPART_3G.cab
DEV_EXTRAPART_4G.cab

Forget about the thread you quoted in your post. It is a good thread, but
1. it won't work with xbmods WP7 Rom and
2. it is too complicated
Xbmods method is super easy, worked perfectly for me. Follow the instructions including the hard reset and you are good to go...
Greetz Ric
hey
it works
okay a bit stupid, but what must i do at next
Do the Sd card in the card reader and put android on it (and change then the files) or is there something before like in the video?
thanks
Hey,
just to clarify, you already sent the "DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab" and the "DEV_EXTRAPART_8G.cab" (8GB just for example) to your device?
Then you have to use the storagelock app in WP7 to unlock the card.
When unlocked take the sd card out of the device, put it in a card reader and connect to PC.
If you are undecided use this android build: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652
This build includes optional rootfs.img that allows to boot build from magldr (!readme! in /sdcard/Android/SDMAGLDR)). So read the readme file that comes with it, exchange the 2 files and then copy the android folder (The whole folder!!!) to the root of your sd card!
To boot android, you have to choose it from Magldr. I think it's point 3 and is called Boot AD/SD.
If you need more help booting Android from Magldr just yell, then I have to restart my device and look it up ;D
Greetz Ric
hey ;D
so i do this steps and it works fine thanks a lot for your help
Thanks, you are nice
I've been running wp7 on my hd2 for awhile now and recently wanted to dualboot it to android.. looking at the guides I'm not quite sure about this, will using the partition managers format my data currently held on wp7?
I don't want to lose my texts or contacts and I don't want to have to call ms again for another activation code since I seem to have lost the notepad doc I saved it in xD
I may be wrong but I think it will remove what is on your card already. You can always buy a second SD card and use it to run Android from, just dont boot to WPY with that SD card in the device or it will format it for use with WP7.
how big is your card? you should at least be using a 16gig card if you want to DB, but 8gig is still fine BUT all your files/ data will be erased since you need to reset the phone. Alternatively just like what T-Macgnolia said, get a 2nd card & place the SD ROM there & boot from magldr.
this is what i followed - again yesterday - for my friends HD2's dual Boot system.
remember that the partition for Windows should be a little larger than that of the Andy.
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/02/10/...hone-7-and-android-on-htc-hd2-with-1-sd-card/
as long as you do things right all will be OK but wrongly done You WONT boot into WP7 again as the partition will be corrupted.
What I do is Get another SD card & make an exact mirror/ copy of the one i use for WP7 so if one fails I still have a backup. Before proceeding though make sure that Both Cards do boot into WP7. check out the link below, it might help.
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?

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.

how do I. use a SD card from a windows phone in another. if you don't help me at least I get 16gb of unusable space

Hello,
I am looking for some advice with regard to a speciifc problem I have with my HD2 which is running Android from SD using haret.exe etc to start the system from within Windows Mobile 6.5. The android files are currently held on a 8GB sandisk card. I have prefered this method of using android basically because I find it useful to remove the SD card and create a backup of the files onto my PC, which gives me peace of mind before installing new tryout software, just incase something goes wrong, I know I have the option to go back to a working system very quickly by reloading the files back to the SD card from the PC backup.
Recently I have been thinking that it might be easier if I could backup the files using the phone directly, so I decided to buy a 16GB card in order to partition it into two virtual 8GB drives and load my existing android os files onto one partition, whilst using the second partition to save a backup of android. I thought I should be able to create a backup of android from within WM6.5 instead of having to remove the card and rely on a PC all the time to do this job.
So, using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition, I formatted and partitioned the new 16GB SD card, I used FAT32 for each partition and proceeded to copy my android files to the first partition of the new card. I installed the card into my HD2 and started the phone up which booted into WM6.5
From within WM6.5, I used the file explorer and could see both partitions appearing as separate SD cards, the first containing all my android os files etc, and the second partition was empty of course. Just as a test I thought I would try a copy and paste of a couple of files from the android partition to the empty partition, and this worked just fine. I thought to myself I am onto a winner here : ) Read on....
With that I decided to boot into android by clicking on haret.exe.
The system started to boot as normal and everything appeared to be going very very well. Booting completed and the system was ready to use..... Then I thought I would have a look around and see if it was running ok. OH DEAR.... It was reporting that it couldn't find the SD card, even though it had booted from it ! All my files and folders inaccessible and any programs that had been moved to SD card wouldn't start up or were missing from the list of installed apps. I still cant understand why the system has booted from an SD card that it cannot find once the system has booted......
This whole excercise was basically motivated by the need to be able to backup and restore the system from one partition to the other without the constant need to remove the SD card and do the job from a PC. (Constant removal of the SD card is starting to bother me incase I end up wearing the card slot out)
So basically my question is can this be done using my existing android install? (I wouldn't want to start again and install from scratch because the system is highly customised, and has took me a long time to get where it is now) I want to be able to have two partitions on my SD card, one which boots, runs android and holds all my files associated with android, and a second parition which I can use to create and restore a backup from within WM6.5.
This is not a desperate requirement, but I feel it would be a lot better than needing to rely on having my PC to hand all the time. This idea has come from my longstanding history of creating backups using GHOST and similar applications in Windows XP. I would like to do the same with my phone. Obviously I would still periodically make a backup to the PC for safekeeping but it would be more convenient to do it with the phone itself.
Any advice on where I am going wrong would be very useful. Also if you can suggest any other ways of making a strong reliable backup that makes an image of 'EVERYTHING' as is from within android directly, please let me know. I have had a look at Titanium backup, but not sure if it would make a mirror image of 'EVERYTHING' the way I would like to do it (like Ghost does in windows). The way I am doing it at present works fine, except for having to constantly remove the card and rely on having a PC about.
Oh by the way the android version on my SD card is Froyo 2.2 incase this matters (I have never bothered upgrading because it works and does what I need it to do)
Many Thanks
Tony

Android looks at storage (and cards and file systems) differently. Assuming you created the partitions okay, you would have to use the Linux mount command (sorry, more reading).
A simpler way to accomplish your goal would be to have everything in one partition on the card. Create a folder and call it "Backup_Folder" or some other name meaningful to you. You will be able to copy/paste in Windows or Android.
Having said that you might want to read more about NAND installations when you have time. It would likely run better and give you more choices. Although a learning curve, once mastered it is as simple and safe as what you are now doing.
