Did you load the DREAIMG.nbh file onto your sdcard? What guide are you following?

For the love of god, if you want help please stop capitalizing every word. It makes it very hard to read.
I promise you if you type like an adult and speak standard English you will get much more help and many more replies.

Its really freaking hilarious that you said that because I was gonna say the same thing in my OP but I figured I would be nice....but I'm glad you said it. LOL
What I don't understand is to what end would you capitalize every word because if your typing on a computer keyboard, its a pain to hit shift every second but if your typing on the G1, it would be downright painful!!!!!

But yea make sure your card is formatted to Fat32 and the DREAIMG.nbh file is on your card. If it still don't work then redownload it again and try.

But why??? Its so slow to type and there's no reason for it other than pissing people off. Seriously, I was temped to browse other threads as soon as I started reading because it's so annoying to read.
Anyway, people are trying to help. Format your card in your phone, and place the file on the card as DREAIMG.nbh and DREAMIMG.nbh (can't remember which is correct, try both).

Yes it is thank you! Apologies for any offense
Are you using the original card that came with the phone? If not, what brand is it?
Is your G1 US, UK or from somewhere else?

Do you have a card reader to put the card in? Dumb question, but did you mount the card when you hooked your phone up to your pc? If all that doesn't work, you can boot into ubuntu and do it. I have helped other people where there computer wouldn't recognize there card but ubuntu did.

Very weird. Are file extensions turned on in explorer? (I'm assuming you're using windows). I'm just trying to make sure that the file isn't called DREAIMG.NBH.NBH

My SD Card Shrank from WP7 Flashing - How???

2 questions, please:
1) after i flashed my hd2 with WP7, my sd card shrank from 16GB to 200MB. how did this happen??
2) and how do i play music and movies from my sd card in my hd2 with WP7?

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

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.

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.

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.

200 MB on SD card?

Can some one tell me what happened? I've installed android to nand memory and now my sd card only shows 200 mg of space, I took some pictures and now is full, where did my 16gb go? Can someone help me find a solution? Thank you for your help.

No one knows, since you provide 0 information. You can also just check it yourself by examining your sd card in your pc.

thanks for nothing....here is the information, installed android on HD2 on nand memory like the instructions here now it shows 200mb, can someone really help me find out where the rest of the gb went?

can you link the instructions you followed to install nand? also did you partition your sd card correctly? you can double check to see how your sd card is partitioned by using this free program. if i had to take a guess it would seem you have partitioned your sd card backwards but there is little info to go by so its really a stab in the dark.

had wp7 installed before? wp7 formats all your sd card to some weird wp7 only format, leaving just 200gb as normal, readable space.

Do you know how to fix it?

format your sd card with panasonic sd formatter in your pc.'cause i had the same thing before, and solved this way.

i would backup your sd card to your computer and then once you have backed it up format it with what ever partition manager you like. i personally use minitool 6 which i posted on post 4. then place a fresh copy of android on your sd and flash as normal. dont forget to wipe date/cache/delvic. i cant say for sure if this would fix the problem but i have noticed this simple process fix some of the problems i've had in the past.

Thanks

Have you tried re-formatting it in the phone, you did not buy a fake from ebay did you?

try run a full format in windows. To test whether it was corrupted or fake go to sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/h2testw-14-gold-standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/[/url]

Check CM7 FAQs .

Its not a fake. I bought it at best buy and it still works fine in a pc, but the won't show files on it in phone.
Not sure. I checked the cm7 thread but couldn't find anything on it.
I'm at a lose. Tried reformating too. Nothing works yet.

You have not mentioned what brand and size your microsd card is, maybe it`s one that is incompatible, do you have another phone to try it in?
EDIT : do a full format in you pc, not a quick one, with the app in the link below.

Yes. This is the way I did it on my old G1. Worked great back in those ancient Android days. Of course, now it's a lot easier with recoveries being able to do it so easy now.

The question was meant to help you realize that you're not going to get any MT4G-relevant answers. Recoveries are able to repartition SD cards for a couple of years now, so even older phone users like myself (N1) had no use for this guide. It's ancient history.
On the other hand, if you're trying to learn how to manually use parted - you don't need to be in a phone forum for that, it's a Linux command, you can grab any manual on the net and be sure that it'll work.
