[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.
Also, here's a guide to boot Android SD from Maglrd: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913964

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..

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".

Using SD card builds with CWM in Magldr

I dont know if alot of people know or not that you can run sd builds while using clockwork in magldr. Ive read somewhere that if you use an sd build in magldr you can not use ad recovery but to me that is false. i wanted to try Mccmjoons latest build and all i did was go to services>boot settings>ad sd dir. pick your build after its been altered to work for magldr because alot of these builds come ready to use for windows so once that is done in the main menu of magldr choose boot ad sd and youll be in a sd build. if you reboot it will go into whatever was flashed in clockwork so to reboot back into your sd build either hold the end(power)button until main menu than choose boot ad sd, or go to services again>boot settings>boot source and pick your choice 1.android from sd 2. android from nand for cwm builds and theres a third option but its for windows 7 to be booted from nand. Enjoy.

SD ROM to NAND MAGLDR .... HOW?

Hi there,
As I guess many here, moved from Win Mobile to Android SD. Then I moved to NAND.
In the SD Thread there are some very interesting ROMs which are SD and MAGLDR however they are shared on a folder Android to put in the SD and then run CLRCAD & HARET ...
My question is ... how can I move that SD structure into a NAND / MAGLDR version?
I've use ZIP files with CWM ...
THANKS.
POZI.

Hi tdizzle404,
while not exactly what we were looking for, this info from 3dak
on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969661 help me in my understanding/learning ...
Approach two:MAGLDR V1.12(or V1.13)
1.Install DFT MAGLDR V1.12 or V1.13,for instance , MAGLDR V1.12
2.boot your handset and press the right POWER(RED) Key more than 5 seconds,
access aMAGLDR V1.2 Boot Menu,
use Volume Up/down key to Select 9.Services, use CALL(green) Key to confirm;
then select 1.BootSettings, select 1.Boot Source, Select 1.Android from SD, after confirmed the menu will jump to aMAGLDR V1.2 Boot Menu,
Select 9.Services again, then select 1.BootSettings,Select 3 AD SD Dir
se Volume Up/down key to Select MIUIROM directory,confirm it with CALL(green)key .after confirmed the menu will jump to aMAGLDR V1.2 Boot Menu
3.In aMAGLDR V1.2 Boot Menu,now Select 2.Boot AD SD, will start to run MIUI ROM from SDcard root/MIUIROM
or reboot your handset, the handset will automaticly boot MIUI ROM from sdcard root/MIUIROM.

[Q] HD2 with Windows Phone 7.8 can't do 4EXT recovery

Sorry to be such a late bird, but I'd like to have WP7.8 + NativeSD Android 4.x dual boot on my HD2.
So I did install MAGLDR 1.13 and flashed Dynamics_HD2O_HD2_2_21_Western, which works like a charm.
After that I followed the instructions of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880905, but this is where my issue is.
I have set up my SD card as outlined and put the 4EXT recovery (tried all three flavours) on the FAT32 partition along with EvoHd2v10final-fixedx.zip.
Then selected the recovery folder as AD Boot Dir in MAGLDR and tried to boot AD on SD.
After that I get 123456 GO GO GO but after a while first the green htc screen appears, stays for a while and then the phone reboots into MAGLDR.
What can I do to do a NativeSD setup?
Do I have to do a MAGLDR Repartition or a MAGLDR Update Recovery with HD2 Toolkit 4.3? With what parameters?
I have tried several Task28, Repartition parameters, ...
I tried with and without "Use Last 24MB" - some say it's required, some say it may cause bricking ...
I'm a bit lost. Please help!
Thanks
ScruffR
BTW: Would there be a way to copy the SD-ROM to the EXT4 partition manually (e.g. on a Linux box)?
Well ...

Dear friend ... why don't you try this guid :
First Let Me Tell You To Make A Copy Of All You Have On Your SD Card ... The Things Required Are :
1- HD2---------------------------------------------------------------------------->One
2- 2GB SD ( Optional But Its Better To Have One ... )--------->One
3-8 GB SD --------------------------------------------------------------------->One
4- WPH ROM ---------------------------------------------------------------->One
5- Native SD ROM ---------------------------------------------------------> As Much As Needed
Alright First You Need To Install Magldr 1.13 On Leo
then Put The 2 GB SD ON The Phone And Flash The WPH ROM ( You First Have To Go TO This Address On Magldr Services>Use Last 24 NAND And Enable It Then Flash The ROM)
Step Two -
When The WPH Rom Booted Shut Down The Phone And Take The SD Out And Use A " Mini Tool Partition Wizard " ( in PC ) To Copy The Big Partition To The 8GB SD ( First Format Then Delete The Fat32 Partition And Copy The Big Partition Of 2 GB SD To The 8GB SD But Don't Forget To Drag The Partition To The Right Part Of SD Diagram To Make The Partitions Show The Left ; Unformatted And The Right : The Coppied Partition
Now Right Click On The Unformatted ( Left ) Partition And Choose Create Then Creat A 64MB 4EXT To The Right ANd Then Creat A 2 GB To The Right Too Now Format The Remaining Part With FAT32 ... Now Your Partition Diagram ( The Diagram Showing The 8GB SD Should Be Like This:
/ Fat32 / EXT4 (2GB) / EXT4(64 MB) / Unformatted (The Copied Partition) /
Now It's Almost Done ... First Apply The Changes ( May Take Half An Hour ) Then Put The 8GB SD Into HD2 And Check If The WPH Still Works On Not ( It Should Work But IF Not Then You may Had Made A Mistake ) ... Alright Now Power Off And Take SD Out And Make A Folder In The SD Named "ICS" And Put All The Items Included in This File In It ... Now Put The SD On The HD2 And Go to This Address Service > BootSetting >AD SD Dir
And There Find ICS And Then Go TO The Main Menu And Choose Boot AD SD Now The SD Recovery Boots And You Can Flash Any Native SD Roms On It ( Or Boot SD ROMs On It ) ... Then You Have To Connect The Phone On The USB To The Computer And Do This Rename :
"ICS" -------------> "ICS4X"
"NativeSD" -----> "ICS"
Now You Can Get The Android Boot Easily Without Getting To The Magldr Menu ( I Mean Just Rename The Roms Folder TO "ICS" And Reboot Then Choose Boot Ad SD On Magldr To Get It Boot - You Also Can Do This Rename On Android's File Manager )
That's It ... Easy And Delicious As A Piece Of Cake ...
The Combination I Recommend Is BOXMAX S3.5 And ChauTien CM 11 ( They Are The Bests Of The Rest )
Wish you Bests
With Best Wishes

Thank you for this reply!
Obviously the 4EXT Recovery versions I tried were faulty. All three of them didn't work with my setup, but just to save some hassle, I tried your 4EXT Recovery_1.rar on my pre-partitioned SD before going through with the whole procedure you pointed out - and it worked immediately.
Thanks
Congrats ...
