[Q] Do SD Builds boot using MAGLDR? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Ok so there are obvious NAND builds which I can flash as per WM ROMS, they will boot fine, but can I put an SD build on my sd card and it boot direct from MAGLDR?
I know it supports booting android from SD but which builds? Also do the files have to be in a different location that sd\Android?
Thanks we could really do with a MAGLDR 101 type sticky
Thanks in advance
Please move to Android Q&A I've just had a senior moment! :-(

It is now possible to boot most roms that haret.exe ran using magldr

you will need some linux skills to do it as it involves mounting an image and changing one line in init.rc

Atheist,
could you point me to the link bro, there is too much stuff about wp7 since the past 2 days,
I am under the impression that we cant have WP7 and Android on NAND at this point in time ,
Open to corrections,
Well you cant have both on nand, well not atm and especially not a LEO512 but you can run Android via SD card while WP7 is on phone.
There has been various guides posted in SD forum...
[REF] How to boot your SD build from magldr [quick guide]
[REF] Tutorial: How to partition sd card to run wp7 and android from same sd card
I think there is a few more aswell but these are the ones stickied in the SD card forum. I haven't personally tried these yet but will be soon.
oh wow, i'm gonna try that, wish there was a partition manager in magldr that will allow nand booting of WP7 and Android, i have LEO1024

Multi boot at startup

Can wp7 support a multi boot like wm 6.5 so it would be possible to run both wp7 and Android?
Apologises if this has been asked I couldn't find it.

With magldr you can have wp7 on nand and still boot android from sd card... you just have to either switch sd cards or partition your sd to split the storage between the 2 OS's. There are stickies in the Android SD Development section.

[Q] Android booting from NAND + SD possible?

Is it possible to boot both Android builds with MAGLDR ?
I have already flashed an Android NAND ROM,but an android rom from sd,too,would be the beeesssttt DD
So is it possible to start the second one via MAGLDR?
thanks ^^
If you go to the Android SD development section, you'll see that some ROMs list that they can be booted from MAGLDR.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735
You'll just need to check in each ROM's thread and first post to see if it's able to be booted from MAGLDR instead of HARET.
Once you have an Android SD build that's compatible with MAGLRD on your SD card, you'll need to enter the MAGLRD menu and firstly select the folder the Android SD build is in, then select 'boot AD SD' to load the SD android build.

Yes.
You can also have WP7 on NAND and Android on SD. In future you will also be able to boot WM6.5 from SD if you wish.

[Q] Dual boot android - NAND & SD

Is there a possibility that we can have 2 Android OS simultaneously i.e, MAGLDR version & SD Card version..???
If so, is there a bootloader that let's us select the version as we had in the SD card ROMs..???
You can use this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783
to install MAGLDR and Clockwork recovery.
Get a CWM NAND ROM and put the rom.zip on your phone's sd card and flash it via Clockwork.
Then get an sd build, extract it to your sd card, and follow all the installation steps in the thread you downloaded it from.
You boot the sd build from the MAGLDR menu by chooding AD SD, but first you must set your sd directory. To do this, in the MAGLDR menu choose Services, BootSettings, then AD SD Dir, and choose the directory of your sd build.
Once you have flashed MAGLDR and CWM, you must hold down the Power button while booting up your phone to get to the MAGLDR menu.
Make sure you flash the right partition size for the ROM you'll be flashing to NAND

Oh, that's great..!!!
Thanks for the help, may be I missed that thread while searching..!!!
Dear all,
I hope nobody minds reactivating thread.
I'm currently trying to install an Android dual boot setup. I installed a NAND Android (TBD SensationXL v2.5) which works already quite well for me. Now I tried to start an SD Android Build via Magldr. But none except ICS Beta 5 starts. All other start showing their Boot splash but phone boots never the less to NAND Android.
Has anyone an Idea, what the problem could be?
Thanks in advance

Your steps should be as follows
1. Download an SD Android ROM with MAGLDR contents as well
2. Rename folder to whatever you like but the startup.txt MUST have rel_path= same name as folder
3. Place folder on root of SD card
4. Go to Services>AD SD Dir>Desired folder (in MAGLDR)
5. Select 'Boot AD SD' (or whatever the Android SD boot option is)
Oh, and reactivating the thread is infinitely better then starting a new one
Dear Nigeldg,
already did all this.
I'm just wondering why the ICS SD build boots normal while every other tested SD build won't boot

Same here...
I think the SD ROM is not suitable to Recovery..
I've tried installing SD first, after that i install CWR, n try booting AD SD but got stuck on bootsplash..

Hmm, seems odd. Which other builds have you tried?

OK I think I found the solution in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375554
So I now switched to 3dak's Kernel on SD Build and it booted. Then tried to apply glitch fix from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19025914&postcount=12 I copied files via OI File Manager in system/lib/hw and system/lib/egl but now SD Android hangs at bootscreen.
Due to my postcount I can't as this in the respective thread, so does anyone can give a detailed installation description for this fix as my solution was obviously "suboptimal".

Help...with MAGLDR

Your SD Card is probably locked by WP7.
So you need to format it.
go to wp7 section and read some threads there
Thanks for your help.After i format and back to partition to ext3..it still the same????Do u know which wp7 thread i should find to solve this problem bro???

If you had bothered to read the roms information properly you wouldn't be in this situation.
Depending on which rom you used you may have to format your sdcard with a Nokia N series or other compatible device that can overwrite encrypted section of card.
There is also a WP7 app that can do it.
Go read the roms thread you got the rom from, All the info you need is in there or on google.
