    Welcome HD2 users to the world of WP7!
    FYI there's a pretty good chance that once a SD card has been formatted for use by WP7, you may not be able to reformat again for use anywhere else... Last I heard, you could only reformat using a Symbian device? YMMV

    yeah i knew there might be a chance with the sd card. Though mine is a 16GB Class 4 Toshiba so thought would do the job seeing as most stock ones in Windows Phones are class 2.

    It was reported that Nokias can do it :) Either way if i do need to go back to Android for a while ill just use his N8 to do it :)

    We got 720p video recording too :)

    Lol i know it will never happen but i wouldnt be suprised if DFT started working to bring iOS lol. Cottula said before shoot me if i ever do that. But hey :) u never know :)

    Though i think it would be impossible and more time consuming cause all the drivers have to be made from 0 since most drivers for HD2 are taken from WP7 and Android HTC phones and modified to work with it

    It recognised my card but wont let me install any apps QQ

    Will be going back to android tomorrow. Atleast i made a full backup of the system :)

    Oh and i used my house mates N8 to format the card and it worked perfect ;)

    It works fine with another SD card, still not letting me install the apps yet. I'll leave it on for a bit to mess about with it. The OS is really nice :)

    you flash it the way you flashed 1.11 :)

    Before WP7 i did a task29 + flash radio then magdlr. Then go into flash rom in magdlr and flash WP7 rom

    OS is nice. Though i miss my toggle power icons :(dithering needs to be enabled in the browser badly too ;(


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭Boxfresh


    you flash it the way you flashed 1.11 :)

    I cant remember how i did that though? :confused:

    can i install magldr 112 while running nandroid or do i have to go to that tricolor screen?

    I've been trying to figure this out for hours now! :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭Boxfresh


    Do i have to go back to winmo before installing magldr 112?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,277 ✭✭✭evolutionqy7


    You dont need to go back to WinMo

    1st. Get your phone in Tri Colour screen. You know Task29? Erase all phone memory

    Then after its finished hold the volume down button and go back to tri colour screen (make sure you hold it down, or you have to take out battery in order to boot it back into tri color again) and flash a radio

    Then after that go back into tri color screen again and flash MAGDLR 1.12

    Then let it boot and go into MAGDLR menu and choose option 5 Flash ROM

    :) after finished it will boot in :)

    Btw back up all stuff before you do or it will be all gone :P

    Hopefully you just explained this



    Otherwise, no idea :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭Boxfresh


    I keep getting the following message...

    Anyways...bedtime.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,277 ✭✭✭evolutionqy7


    when your in tri color screen does it say

    a) nothing?

    b) serial?

    c) usb? Cause that the one it should be saying in order for it to connect to the PC for flashing.

    If your running XP make sure you have drivers installed (dont ask where to get em. Vista and Windows 7 should find and download drivers automatically.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,026 ✭✭✭docdolittle


    When that happened to me last time with the error message it was a setting under 'connect to pc' on the phone, it had enable faster synchronisation, I had to un-tick that to get it to work... Worth a try if evolution's suggestion doesn't work.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭Boxfresh


    I'll give it another shot tomorrow evening. Thanks for the help. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,395 ✭✭✭AntiVirus


    Here's how to get the Market Place to work

    You need to change your phone's reg setting to HTC HD7, once you've done that, you can download the apps.

    I'm now able to install apps from the market place. You need to follow the instructions in the link below. Do exactly what it says. The very last thing you do is activate your phone.

    Check in settings -> about to make sure your phone is listed as HTC HD7 before you activate.

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,277 ✭✭✭evolutionqy7


    oh so you first do the reg edit then activate?


  • Registered Users Posts: 704 ✭✭✭LukeS_


    If you use MyBackup to backup all your data (contacts etc.) how're you supposed to restore your stuff when you go to WP7?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,277 ✭✭✭evolutionqy7


    Tried it on the laptop and it worked. Dont know why pc doesnt want to work :(

    You can use Google account to backup contacts. Then windows phone can sync them back :)

    hows everyone's facebook app working? mines awfull slow :S


    Mines launches fine but is slow to update. I'm wondering if its my SD card. Some app's seem to take ages to install?

    Other than that its great, got my gmail and office exchange emails pushing through instantly, so I'm happy with that :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,277 ✭✭✭evolutionqy7


    Yeah I love the email and UI. I can't launch some apps or takes a few times for them to load.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭Boxfresh


    I rang MS for the activation code but they've been closed since 5.

    Any of you guys willing to PM me an activation code to get me up and running here? The code can be used up to 3 times apparently. :)
