[Q] Do SD Builds boot using MAGLDR?

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

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

[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..

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".

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).

If you're asking how to boot the SD version then in the MAGLDR menu go to Services>AD SD Dir> Android (or whatever the folder name for your SD build is) then back to the main menu> Boot AD SD.

Can one still have winmo with MAGLDR and boot into an SD build of android?

Yeah. There will be no conflicts with it.

No, MAGLDR replaces WinMo. Unless you mean WP7, you have either WinMo or MAGLDR/cLK, never both.

you can convert a nand rom to sd rom using portadroid...check sd android development section

Thanks for the replies. I was kinda wondering if magldr had an advantage over sd build anroid roms. Thanks for the info

You want to dual boot android with wm 6.5___use sd build..

[Q] Magldr Boot Ad SD

Hi,
I notice that some builds can be booted Via Magldr SD,
How do I do this,
I have Runny on NAND,
Do I just download the ROM add it to "Android folder" and hit "Boot AD SD" in MAGLDR?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,
I don’t think add ROM to Android folder is a good idea in order to not disturb your NAND build. Use different SD or rename your downloaded Android folder lets say Androidsd.
Steps for first boot:
1- Copy folder (Androidsd) to SD Card.
2- Boot in MAGDLR powering on your phone while you press the power button until MAGDLR appears.
3- Select "SERVICES"
4- Select "BOOT SETTINGS"
5- Select "AD SD Dir"
6- Select the "Androidsd" folder
7- Now select "BOOT AD SD" and wait boot
Next boot you can skip steps 3 to 6.
Have fun!

I don't know what folders have you on ÿour SD card. You have to press vol down button till you reach the folder where you drop the ROM

Hi,
The folder is not listed, only these random names !?!
Does the ROM need to be zipped?
Thanks

May I ask a similar question? Can I have MAGLDR with winmo 6.5? All of the SD build of ICS I've been seeing only boots with MAGLDR, they don't have clrcad/haret.

This is a good build, it says magldr but there is a Claret and Haret in there also
You can install magldr to the phone please have HSPL and latest radio installed.
When you install magldr it WILL remove wm6.5 and you will have to re flash a wm6.5 rom to the phone, not the offical one as it will remove magldr,
You could always try flash ICS or WP7, there is a speed boost in nand

Thanks... So installing magldr will wipe my current winmo, and I'd have to flash a cooked winmo rom? Thanks for the info. I'd just like to clarify, so, I CAN have both magldr and winmo 6.5 both at the same time? And I can still switch between an android sd rom and the winmo 6.5?

I do belive you can only dual boot WP7 and Android (Windows Phone 7 on NAND & Android on SD Card)
Not to sure about wm6.5 as I am not a dev,
You can defently dual boot wp7 and sd android though

Just a thought, practicly all SD builds come with Claret and haret included, if not you can usually download some files or there included,
I think you should install NAND android if you like android or boot Haret and Claret,
sorry if i sound like a ****, I dont mean to be

And magldr WILL remove your WinMo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033537
Sorry for being misleading, you cannot dual boot WP6.5 and SD android via MAGLDR
:S

Awww... too bad. Can't let go of winmo 6.5 alex, a very important app is still sticking to this OS. ^_^
Thanks for the replies though. I'm happy with android SD for the moment. ^_^

Ok mate good stuff, most builds that say magldr/sd will have claret and haret others usually have a post to add in, good luck mate!

Just to bring this alive again,
Any ideas?
When in BOOT AD SD Dir I get random figures and not folders,
I am running TBD Runnymead with EXT4 partition,
Thanks,

For booting the ROM via MAGLDR follow the following options :
1.) Make sure its the SD build you have downloaded.
2.) Check the startup.txt file for "rel_path=foldername". If you named the folder with android as "Androidsd" then it should look like
"rel_path=Androidsd"
boot
3.) remove anything written after this like nand=1 or wince=1
4.) enter bootloader. When on magldr, go to Services > Boot Settings > AD SD Dir
select "Androidsd" as the directory.
5.) Boot AD SD
then u should be able to boot.
If you are not able to enter AD SD DIR tab, remove the memory card and reinsert.
