Hello , as you can see in the title I want to backup my sd card which I used it for dual booting Android and Windows phone 7.8. Unfortunately my HTC HD2 's touch screen stops working and I can't use wp7 to make backup of my data. Is there a way to backup this partition of the sd card using PC or other phone ,without Windows phone, without losing anything?

Wenn you have a Windows Phone 7 on HD2 working, but you need more space, is it possible to upgrade to a bigger SD-card without loosing your data?
Can you format the new SD-card and copy over all files from the old card to the new card e.g.?
Or do you really have to start from scratch again?

Read THIS thread. You just would not be copying over any android files unless you are going to dual boot.

I think you missunderstood me, it's not about Android. It is not about creating a dual boot HD2 with Windows Phone 7 on NAND and Android on the SD card.
Think about currently having a HD2 with Windows Phone 7 installed and an SD card inserted of 2 GB. Then you realize your SD card gets too small because of installed applications and created alot of video's and pictures. Now you want to use a bigger SD card, a 16 GB e.g., how to "upgrade" to a bigger SD card?
Normally you have to start all over again, you loose all your installed applications and program settings wenn you insert a new SD card, because you have to do a hard-reset for what I have read.
But it is also possible to upgrade to a bigger SD card without loosing your data?

there is no way to save data yet. it has been voiced to MS for the ability to do this with zune or cloud services but nothing yet. you can get to your pictures and videos on the phone by using your pc. THIS tells you how to do that. you can then add them back on the phone without syncing with zune.
i think copying over the whole partition via easeus partition master while the device is in magldr will resolve your problem. you'll need to expand d partition i guess

From what i'm reading is what he's trying to say is No, My guess is you have to reinstall wp7 on your hd2 with the new sd card in there. Try that buddy.

Looks like it is possible what you are saying, according to the post of zole2112.
I installed WM7 on my HD2 that was running a custom 6.5 rom.
After I installed it though, WM7 keeps telling me that there isn't a lot of space. When I checked, there's only 6.5mb free. Is there a way the old ROM is still under WM7, thus taking up so much space?
I always had a ton of space on 6.5 to install apps/games/etc. (I did a "factory reset" of wm7 annnnd then it sent my phone into a never-ending bootcycle.)
So my question is, how do I wipe completely the old WM 6.5 ROM to fresh install 7 and save all of that space?
Also, my old boot image from 6.5 still shows up when 7 was booted.
Check your SD card. Might not be compatible.
There's actually no SD card in there. I'm talking about just the straight up phone storage.
(I'm using my 16g SD card for my Android phone and don't feel like backing up/reformatting right now).
That is why. WP7 requires a sd card to be in the phone so it can use it as if it were internal storage.
Oh gotcha.
If I just have my SD card inserted when I flash WP7, will it do the rest for me?
And does the SD card need to then remain in the phone for it to work properly?

Yes, you need the sd card in there when you first boot wp7 (you don't need to reflash, just hard reset it with card in), and the card must remain in the phone anytime you have wp7 on. If you turn on wp7 without the card or take it out while booted in to wp7, you will have to restart. Also, wp7 will format and make the card only readable by wp7... you can't take the card out to use with a card reader or for anything else. It's only usable with wp7.
yea i saw somewhere that the WP7 regular phones with sd slots make the memory "expandable" but as it formats and uses it in conjunction with the nand partition it is not "removable"...
Which is why the HD2 has a couple of plus points compared to a native HD7 in which the sd card is actually hidden underneath all the casing which you cant access..
hi,
i have htc h2 with android platform, last night i install win7 and my SD card 8GB also inside the mobile, after installation finish i cant see any option abt memory in win7 mobile also when i remove mem card my mobile switch offed and my android OS totally gone i can't send d receive any files via bluetooth
Now i want dual operating system and memory card must be work in win7 and android i have two 8Gb cards.
Any suggestion would me great appreciat
On win7 -settings -about should show memory
When you install win7 on any sd card, this will encrpyt the sd card, so it will not be readable unless you recover it using, for example a nokia device there is a thread on this forum listing all the devices that can recover sd card..
Your android oS will be not be available because Win7 will be installed as Nand (over android on the phone) but for dual boot android must run from sd card
What you need to do
Maybe use the same sd card or different sd card
Install win7 - when successfull
Install dev_lock cab by cab sender
Install partition_cab (less than 8gb) and reset your phone from about
Turn on storage lock..turn phone off
Put sd card in sd adapter and transfer android sd rom onto it
Go through the magdlr options( on this forum)
Dual boot should be set up
Hi, thanks for your reply.I'm not comfort with windows 7 because some features very annoying, bluetooth nt working and when i press green button to atten are dial call camera opening always its really very silly, i need to install only android what i hav to do for installing android and my SD card showing only 200mb in pc i nt format yet if i format i cant use my mobile. plz slove my problem
you have to recover your sd card first so if you can, reformat using nokia devices or use the unlock cab followed by partition cab then easeus mini tool to fully reformat then install android through magdlr
i recover my SD card and Now i installed Android version 2.2 everything working fine except internal memory i can't use internal memory its show Available internal storage space 614MB.when i transfer any photos r mp3 via blue-tooth it asking memory card. where is my internal memory gone
Good day
i had working Dual boot OS with WP7 and android for the last 2 weeks on my HTC HD2 with 32Gb SanDisk MicroSD.
yesterday i wanted to make a new installation with other versions on the OS. So...
i formatted the SD card to New FAT32 and the PC recognize it well.
I went to install WP7 from there :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236027
and after the installation the phone reboot and i did again hard reset for it to build up the partitions on the SD.
after the second boot the phone got stuck and i had to take the battery out in i wanted to start all over from the beginning.
when i went to format the SD again my Windows didn't find it nothing i did.
i i used all the partition application i know but nothing - no SD or dead sd.
i also installed Gparted and boot from the live cd but still no SD.
i installed original WM 6.5 - buy fuss what - still no SD installed.
i don't know what to do??????
i installed also android on hand and tried to format from the android but still - no SD installed.
is there some magic i can do?
or my SD is dead?
i hope i can fix it......
thanks
your SD card is locked.... BTTF lock card and that card not readable.... you must unlock card first... send unlock cab file to phone and after that you can format card (or use old Nokia phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242071)
if you want dual boot without worry about locking card, try use Pdaimatejam Rom or DFT UltraFruit
also you have video how to dual boot android and WP7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833
Hi

Hi All
I have been using Android GB on my HTC HD Touch 8282 (Windows mobile) till today morning.
and suddenly my phone stopped responding. i gave a hard reboot to my card and it booted in windows. To run Haret.exe i tried finding it. but phone is not recognizing SD card itself. I checked SD card using card reader. it is using. i inserted another SD card in card slot but its still not detected by phone.
Is there any way i can boot directly from SD card to Android . or can i install Android on my Windows memory directly as i dont want to use Windows.
Please help me you genius people.
Abhi
You can't load Android without sdcard... by now. I got lots of problems with microsd HC ones, try a normal or "old" microsd card! Then, if you don't want to load windows before running hare.exe, I suggest you to install Gen Y bootloader (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623792), very simply and user friendly! It allows you to run Android very quickly and automatic, you choose between Windows and Android at startup...

Unfortunately if his SD card reader isn't working, Gen.Y isn't going to do a whole lot of good.
OP, if your phone in WinMo isn't reading SD cards, you've got big issues. Try re-seating the card, make sure it's being seated correctly, etc.
Try a non HC card as was previously suggested.
Good luck.
