I just recently put an android build on my sd card, and it works fine and everything. But none of my contacts from my sim or sd card carry over. Also every time I soft reset the phone, it goes back to normal windows, and the time and date will be completely off. Is there a way I can get all my information to carry over and have android be the main operating system? Or maybe when I start my phone have the option of windows or android (Both having my saved information)

To get the contacts from Sim, go to contacts (in android) and press menu. Import from Sim card. There may also be an import from SD card, can't remember. The only way to have Android as the main OS is to completely replace Windows with NAND Android, there are many guides as to how to do this. One thing you can do is download exceller build loader or another automatic build loader (search for these in the forums) which will give options to automatically load Android or to cancel and load Windows at boot. It automates the process of running CLRCAD and Haret, and can launch android within 3 seconds of loading Windows, if needed.
As for the time and date being off, I too had this problem until I flashed a custom Windows ROM. I would recommend OzDroid if you are going to do this, it has an automatic build loader built in and is bare Windows, meaning that the load times are extremely quick.
Hope this helps

I have to take my SD card out for windows to boot up, is there a way to fix this its such a PITA to restart my phone
Do you use an auto loader like EBL?
yes, i think you might be using an autoboot for android like EBL with booting time like 3 seconds
no i start just like normal, my screen stops at the pink and white stick together and stays that way unitl i remove the SD card, then the radio version come on at the bottom and it boots like normal but if i dont remove the SD card it will just stay at teh stick together sreeen
You may get this issue if the sd card is corrupt. Try checking it for errors using a card reader on your pc.
Also I had issues with winmo when my card was almost full. I deleted one of my android builds and winmo loaded and ran fine.
Or it could possibly the files on your card not readable by windows. I always wondered about those files that started with .files (starting with a period)
With the recent developments of Android and WP7 for the HD2, I really can't decide between the two. Will there be an option of dual boot like with WM6.5? I'd love to have this option.
I would definitely love for this to happen, although WP7 is in the lead for me now, booting android once in a while wont be so bad.
i think itz possible in tmobile usa HD2 with itz 1gb ROM ... two partitions using two NAND OS... dual NAND..
I'm very interested in this option. Hopefully this will be available soon.
I hoppe we find a solution for Leo from EU (512Mo).
Like WIN6.5 + Android on SD ?
My favorite way : Android in NAND, WP7 on SD !!
think we should be able to still boot android off sd with magldr... we just need to switch to a different sd card that wasn't used with wp7. I hope its possible. will be trying it soon.
i would love to do this, i have a 124 leo.
F*ck the 512!
Android+WP7 would be sweeeet for 1024!

based by the link above (with google translate), its possible to dual boot with wp7 nand and android sd
Is it possible to back up a android nand rom, so i don't need to download al apps again and set them all up again?

SEARCH!!!
But since your lazy, yes there is. Its called Titanium backup and it saves all your apps and settings into a file. When you install a new build just recover that file from within Titanium backup and all your apps and stuff will be there.

So...does anyone here speak enough Chinese to make more sense of this than Google Translate does? I think some sort of modification needs to be made to init.rc. Possibly system.img too.

How would you boot android from nand if you can't access the file system of the SD card?
Its an unknown format and magldr surely won't be able to boot anything from it.
Maybe it works the other way round, though?
Or you could use your phone7 without sd card...
hey that may even work.
Limited storage for phone7 - who cares?

That's what I would like to be able to do. WP7 is nice to play with at this stage but I still plan to use Android most of the time.

Here's that thread translated:

I have already declared in the title dual boot, or have friends do not understand the altar. After the following modifications, select the boot wph start guide wp7, select the boot ad sd sd boot on Android , Android WP7 and dual-boot, the boot options can, without disturbing each other. Start wp7 will not interfere with sd card, wp7 sd card did not even know exist, the question is wp7 little space available, but at least can be used.
Expect experts to address the first time in wp7 can choose to start the occupation of the sd card space, do not fully occupied enough.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ---------------
Thank DFT ! Because SD Android running well, I have not brush Nand Android, waiting for the arrival of WP7.
Today, DFT has released long-awaited HD2 users WP7, I finally started to brush. Brush some of the altar before the access to the Friends of the experience, that really exclusive WP7 SD card, which can later how to run Android.
I have access to the information carefully and found that the SD card as WP7 only system expansion space, the first start of the SD card partition to use. Therefore, I decided to removed the SD card so reserved for Android use.
PC: Windows 7
HD2: SHPL 2.08
SD: Sandisk 8G c4 (from the phone in the show)
The following is the process of Brush:
1. Three-color screen brush Magldr 112 (all normal, NES Set )
2.Magldr start to select the USB Flasher, PC-side DWI (all normal)
3. Phone reboots directly into the WP7, simple to use, after all the normal (free space 98M)
4. Handset off
5. Insert SD card
6. boot holding down the hold button, enter the Magldr menu
7. Set always shows the menu (to decide, because I want to dual-boot often, so set the boot menu)
8. Set the boot path SD card Android
9. Guide the SD Android, the show finished HTC interface (kernel, Init after) boot into Andoird animation between the phone restart
Episode: I stupid out, SD card, there are a lot of information not backed up, hands and no card reader, can not enter the Andoird, the backup can not, WP7, when not installed into the SD card, do not expect him to. Fortunately, there are menu items that Magldr USB storage (my first use of Magldr), select this option, the memory card sorting.Remove the SD card all the Android-generated directory (the directory is generated Android, do not also delete a Android), re-boot, the first screen to enter Andoird die.
10. Online access to information, Magldr guide SD card Android, need to modify inti.rc.
11. Will system.img (I use the DHD Android) copied to the Linux modified.
In the service ril-daemon / system / bin / rild-l / system / lib / libhtc_ril_wrapper.so append --d / dev/smd0 nand parameters, to support
Nand boot.
12. Returns Android phone, after a successful boot.
Nagging: WP7 egg really hurt, WIFI without any settings, I have been using a static IP, can not be set.

He's dual booting, but none of the SD card space is for WP7. It only has around 100megs left. WP7 automatically RAID0's the whole card with internal memory for space. That's why removing the card screws up WP7 and a hard reset has to be done. I think what would be ideal is if the card could be split into 8gb for WP7 and 8GB for Android, but part of the problem is you can't call HARET.exe or CLRCAD.exe because there is no OS to understand those executables.
When I try to turn my phone on, it will not get passed the ROM loading screen (Energy blue logo). This is because the internal memory is full.
I really need to get into the file system to delete a file (and fix the problem) or copy certain stuff out - it has pictures of my fiance on to say the least, and I really want them.
But, as Windows won't boot I can't do this in the traditional way. Obviously I can still get into bootloader - so is there a way I can access the file system? A bit of software I can run on my laptop that can somehow access the file system through bootloader mode? All I need to do is identify a c.1mb file and delete it...
The background to all this is the phone was displaying messages about 'memory nearly full' - but it had done this before and just stopped, so I left it again. Except, at some point signal reception dropped and stayed at 0. So I rebooted, and got stuck at the loading screen - which is where we've been for the last few days now.
I really hope someone can help. If you can, I'll buy you a few beers.
Thanks,
David
Phone was running WM6.5 with HSPL (3 I'm fairly sure)
How in the hell did you manage to fill your internal memory up, why not just use a SD card for storage?
If you can get into bootloader, cant you simply connect it via activesync/wmdm and then just copy what you need and delete?
I think I took too many photos! Though I'm not exactly sure tbh... Some bug in the ROM kept changing the save dir from SD card to internal, but I did keep an eye on the space, perhaps just a few too many photos in one night...
Anyway ActiveSync isn't working (for me at least) in bootloader mode - don't I need to have Windows Mobile loaded?
Should activesync work in bootloader mode?

doesnt work. you cant access the live file system from anywhere except within running wm.
You can dump off the rom partition into .raw files, but when you rebuilt it (in a ktchen) you would still only end up with the original rom as it was out of the box, no user data.
@OP, you could possibly go into bootloader, confirm 2.08.hspl, flash magldr, and then boot from an sd android, though i suspect you still wouldn't see the winmo files. (I assume there are now android builds that can be booted to and run from sd without the need for haret/winmo? i'm a nand man meself so unsure. )
It's what i'd try if it really was that critical, otherwise I'd weep for a little while, kick myself and write 'backup' post-its all over my office, then hard reset and move on.
Thanks for the advice - I will definitely try your suggestion before 'moving on', losing a whole bunch of contacts will also be a real pain.
Do you know of any threads/links explaining magldr and how it will help?
Is there no other way to access any part of the internal memory and just delete 1 file?
I found out that magldr has 2 commands:
"Boot WPH" - boots WPH from nand. WPH must be flashed before. NOT AVAILABLE now.
"USB Flasher" - use this item to flash Android or WPH.
Problem is the first one isn't yet available - maybe he would give me a beta though.
I assume WPH is Windows Phone. So if I had a version with 'Boot WPH' command working,
a) Could I flash Windows Phone into the nand (whatever that is)?
b) Once in booted & loaded WP7, could I view the WM6.5 files on the internal RAM?
I think I agree it is unlikely the files would be viewable within Android - surely it must use a different file system. Does WM use FAT32 for the internal memory?
Thanks
Bear in mind WP7 and winmo are two very different OSes.
WP7 has been out btw.
Once you flash the device, with MAGLDR, android or WP7, the internal storage is wiped so it makes no sense to flash it if you still want what is in it.

any type of flashing (nandroid, wp7 or wm) will destroy whats on there already, thus defeating the object.
There are more than two options in magldr, one of which is 'boot sd ad' for boot sd card android.

its probably not an issue of the file system type, android (linux) can access fat partitions no problem. Its probably more to do with whether the sd builds can mount the internal rom or not.
Im no linux head at all, still fumbling in the dark though, so i could be wrong.
I there a way to speed up the booting up of the Android SD 2.3.2? Maybe by using a different radio or something?

You could get the latest rom here: http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1043&news_id=782 or for T-Mobile here: http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ and select the HTC HD2. Also you can dual boot your device by download and installing the application in the following thread to your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623792. Hope this helps.
Should you ever update software of you windows mobile 7 from zune? Just Curious.
Help Here with previous question.
Also,after activating my windows phone 7 my android disappeared from my SD card.
Also does switching OS from wp7 to android (using dual boot from SD here) after reboot clear the wp7 setting?
probably you got the partitions messed up, recheck the partitioning of your SD card.
don't have WP7 myself so can't help you more than that, sorry.

If you put WP7 on your HD2, then your SD card will be formatted so that's why android disappeared from your SD card. Also settings will not be cleared as long as all files are in there correct directory.

I used the dual booting method everything went well except that when I partitioned the SD card for windows and android the wp7 'about' menu still said it had the total (all) space for itself. Ignoring that I was still able to load the android and install some apps on it. Could activating the wp7 with an activation code be the culprit?

You could try that. Also, you could try a new SD card if anything goes wrong because if it still says it has all the space for itself, then it may overwrite the android files without even asking and corrupting them.
So I went through the process of making my hd2 dual boot wp7 and android cm7 again they both worked at first flawlessly, but it seems that maybe syncing my phone with zune was the problem(not entirely sure). Also I still don't get why my wp7 displays that it has the same amount of space with my total SD card (8GB) space after syncing and before it has only about 15MB total and 10MB used

I remember seeing this about some wp7 builds for the HD2. Its a bug causing it to misread your sd card's space at times. If you want to fix it, I could only recommend a new build until a "fix" may come out for it. Anyways, congrats on your installation.
I followed directions correctly, i even played with my new android os for hours. now this happened
I have a big problem now I have chose the reboot option in android and it took me back to windows like normal I then choose ctrcad and I'm getting an error on both clrcad and Haret this is what it said " the file Haret cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found. If the problem persists try reinstalling or restoring the file". What's going on. I worked hard in setting up android the way I like it. I can't access it anymore
I sugest you post this in the thread from the rom you installed as it could be one of many

You should never choose the "reboot" option in Android on HD2, It can corrupt data on sd card which is what has likley happened here. If you want to go back to Windows when using a SD Android rom you should just power down and power on.
copy your data.img (if you want to save apps/data within android) and other data you may need from card and then format it with SDFormatter (FULL>Overwrite+Size Adjust) then put stuff back on card, rom and the data.img and boot back in.
or try to format your sd card with mini tool wizard.

Does this actually do a proper format, ie overwrite data or does it simply delete TOC or re-create partition?
Anyway, seems a bit overkill loading up a bloated partitioning tool just to format your card when you can use a simple small clean app like Panasonic SDFormatter.
