no. if on nativeSD, and the new rom is NativeSD, you can not partition. but if the rom is nand/dataonext it's always better to repartition (to repartition nand not sd-ext)

in order to switch nativeSD rom, open the nativeSD folder on your sd card, there are many folders there, corresponding to which rom you have. open the folder you want (lets say MIUI_v5), copy its contents and paste in nativeSD folder on sdcard, replacing the files inside.
these are the boot files, and each files boot a rom (only if you have installed it )

the 4ext folder should have zImage and initrd.gz inside. if not, then you extracted wrong. open the folder on your sd, it probably has a folder inside that have these files. so move all files to have:
/sdcard/4ext/zImage
/sdcard/4ext/initrd.gz

Flash HSPL2,radio higher than 2.09,MAGLDR 1.13.
NAND:
Flash CWM with correct partition
Then, flash rom by copying it to SD card then selecting install zip from sd card
SD:
Copy to SD card.
Then, go to magldr menu and select the folder where you stored your rom.
Go back and select BOOT AD SD
Hope I helped.......
By the way by HSPL2 he means HSPL2.08. Although I assume that you already have this flashed to NAND memory by the stuff you've said already And to select the SD thing go to (in MAGLDR menu) Services>AD SD Dir>folder with ROM in it.

It runs through MAGLDR, you can't run SD builds from Android or using CLK. You must have WinMo or MAGLDR (WP7 or Android on NAND).

Need assistance on installing an Android rom on HTC HD2

Hi,
I am a complete newb to HTC and know hardly anything about installing a NAND rom on my HTC HD2.
I bought the phone recently on Ebay, it was running windows 6.5 but I wanted to change it to the latest Android rom. I just want it to be Android, run smooth and fast, be able to access android store and get latest apps, have wifi, 3GS and all the features that the phone can handle.
Basically I am stuck on the MAGDLR V1.12 main screen after following mskip's guide on flashing a HD2. I installed HARDSPL 2.08 and flashed MAGDLR 1.13.
I then followed 'langthang's' guide on installing his latest rom updated on 31 Jan by 'flashing Recovery with edit' then done a partition recovery v1.13 150MB ( this is where I think I may have chosen to little). This is where I am stuck at and do not know what to do next on installing a rom.
I know this may seem very 'newb' to many of you but I would be grateful for your guidance on just installing a good rom.
Thanks
When I go to AD Recovery it says in red ERROR: Invalid boot image header. And on startup something about kernel open failed.
i am completely confused and need help!!
install cwm recovery (latest is 5.0.x.x) again with correct partition size required by the rom. you need to edit flash.cfg and enter the correct size e.g.150 or 200 etc..
I have installed CWM 5.0.2.6 with a 200 partition size and can go to the AD recovery menu now. How do I edit the flash.cfg and actually go about putting the rom on the sd card using MAGDLR, I amconfused on that aswell do I extract the rom to my desktop or just put the rom zip file straight on the SD??
Thanks
Put rom zip without tampering with it if don't know wat to do...then get into cwm recovery ... install froM SD card n choose the zip...
Flash.cfg can be opened in notepad

Ok.
I do not get the Flash.cfg part at all, what do I edit and copy? I am using the HDToolkit4 2.01 to partition it now.
Also do I have to put the rom on the SD card to extract it from cwm recovery, not by going into USB mass storage mode??

I would suggest installing notepad++, you open the CWM folder you download and right click the flash.cfg file. Then you can edit the recovery size there.
I would suggest that you do not use MAGLDR to transfer a rom to your sdcard as there is a good chance it will corrupt, file transfer is still unstable. Just flash the correct recovery size, then boot into recovery from MAGLDR and transfer the rom to your sdcard there.
Do not extract the rom zip by the way, just place the whole zip on your sd and flash that.
What do I exactly edit?? Where is the CWM folder?? I still do not get this part at all, can someone guide me through it..
I flashed the recovery size through the HDToolKit...
Also, when putting the ROM on the SD Card, Do I have to take out the SD and put the ROM on that way with a adapter on my PC, OR can I just boot into recovery from MAGLDR and then connect my phone via USB with the SD inside and transfer it that way??

If you look at the flash.cfg in Langthang's thread, yours should look exactly like that when opened (make sure to open flash.cfg, not flash.cfg.txt) in notepad++ or whatever notepad type thing (not MS Word) and just change yours to look the same as the example one then save it. You should only have to change the numbers. Flash the new recovery then copy the ROM as a zipped folder onto your sd card using a card reader if possible. Boot into recovery then select install zip from SD card, select your file and there you go, one working HD2 with Android

Ok I attached the recovery that I use with Team Blue Droid (credits to Dansta for porting it for us)
Open that .7z file and extract the folder to somewhere on your computer. Open the folder and inside you will see a bunch of files (one of which is the flash.cfg).
Now right click that and edit it with either notepad or notepad++ and adjust the recovery size as need for the rom of your choice. Save it and then while booting into MAGLDR connect your phohne to your PC.
Select the Daf.exe file and let it run, once completed you will have successfully flashed your recovery. Just boot into recovery from MAGLDR and then select mount usb (I believe that is the option). Then you can mount your sdcard and copy the rom that way. Once done just flash the rom with the install zip from sdcard option.
Post if you have more questions
HI,
First I've written a guide to magldr and clk, so if you want a little extra info it may help.
Second, I would recommend the program called "HD2 Toolkit" Their is a link to it also in my guide.
You need to consider updating to magldr 1.13 if you are going to use magldr, things will just work better with the latest version. Also unless you have a very good idea of what you're doing, the new clk1.5 rc1 is probably your best bet, it makes everything so much simpler.
But back to your magldr problem and the hd2 toolkit program, this program is an automatic flasher for the hd2, magldr clk and cwm.
OK thanks. What Roms do u reckon I download?? I want all the general features and Appstore..

You know it really depends on your preference as there is a wide range. There are Sense roms (2.1-3.5) AOSP roms, CM7 roms, MIUI roms, and CM9/ICS roms. The choice is really up to you
OK thanks alot for the help guys, learnt alot. Managed to sort it all out and installed this Rom on it, everything looks to be working fine.
Thank You!

Hi. I am back to stock WM6.5 but I would like to have android on SD. I want to have this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633354 And when I have on my SD /Android and there haret, rom stuff etc. and I run haret then I see HTC image for a while and then I have reboot into stock WM6.5
I have HSPL 2.08 Do I need any additional partitions or what? I have been following tutorials and it doesn't work...

Ok then, all you need to do is copy the Android folder from the downloaded file(s) to the root of your sd card. Make sure you DO NOT put it in any folder. Then run the sound fix(i forgot the file name) and haret.exe. It should work fine. As you are running android on your sd card, you do not need to worry about the partitions and such. All you need is the radio and HSPL, which you have
Still the same HTC logo for 5 seconds and reboot into WM... All is in /sdcard/android
Maybe I'll try another rom, but for others it works
... maybe the path that you are using is wrong, and that leads to reboot every time ... for example, the rom I use has this path: sdcard \ droid ... and not sdcard \ Android ... I think the ROM folder and Android folder should be kept separate ...
... in any case try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663755 ...it's a fantastic rom, and you'll be pleasantly surprised ... ... and if you use a loader as Exceller Android Loader ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD2/Android_Loader ) is even better, IMHO ...
Ok, I will try. But tomorrow. I don't want to waste next 100mb of my transfer today... I downloaded another and it seems to work Thanks guys.
.... glad you solved ... good luck!!!

You don't need HSPL to run SD Android, that's the beauty of it. You can use it without flashing anything at all.
@OP, glad to see you got it sorted out, perhaps it was a conflict between the name of the folder and the rel_path=foldername
Yeah, but I still can't understand what is what and why there are different paths, like there couldn't be one for each rom eg. /android
And is it run by MAGLDR? What is Haret? I mean except an exe loading android.

I'm not quite sure if this is what you wanted, but you can edit the path in startup.txt, so you can rename your folder to anything as long as it is the same in startup.txt. I think there are some symbols which aren't allowed of course, but that's the same with most file names as far as I know.

[Q]I am Running Ics On Nand, How can i have Gb On SD card.??

I tried looking at many guides on installing android on sd but all require me to run two exe files (clrcad.exe and haret.exe) from file manager , now here i get confused, i think they are meant to be run from wm6.5 file manager , aint they??
But my problem is i have ICS on NAND , no WM6.5 , so how can i just install gingerbread on sd card and keep my ICS on NAND.
And I use magloader ...

You must download a sd card rom and place the "Android" folder in the root of your sd card. In MAGLDR, you must go to services and set directory of androidsd. Choose the "Android" folder you placed when asked. Voila. Whenever you need to boot into GB from the sd card, power off your phone. turn it on while keeping the power button pressed. When loaded in MAGLDR, choose boot android sd. This is it

Just download the desired SD ROM, place it on the root of your SD card, boot into MAGLDR, go to Services>Boot Sources>AD SD Dir (at least I think this is the correct path, you should be able to figure it out logically anyway) and select the folder on which your ROM is. Then go to boot AD SD.

[Q] SD Development + Native SD

so now that the Native SD seems to be a HiT & is Fast, will the SD Development still continue? Would those guys who are not developers - so they say - be able to still port/ convert those NAND Roms to Native SD?
Just wondering.
Nativesd and SD aren't the same, nativesd is a nand rom running from SD ext so for example can't be used when the phone is running winmo, whereas SD android can be started from haret under winmo.
oops, wrong.

it will if you choose 'nand' in the instalation options, but any rom that allows nativeSD will use teh aroma installer and will default to installing on the sd-ext partition, unless you manually choose the nand option.
