Hello guys, I've downloaded Win8 iso, it has boot.img and other files. So i was thinking is there a bootloader for android ? I mean you can choose where to boot from ? External or Internal storage ? I hope you understand. if it's possible I wanna ask one more question. What is the Android's harddrive format ? FAT32 or NTFS ? is there any way to completely format it ? (I mean delete whole things in the device. OS, Framework, Identifiers, Boot Apps etc.). if it's possible to format whole device, I know it uses Linux Kernel right ? so Can't we create a Qemu Image ? then install OS to there ? Thanks for reply.

Hi,
I just have one question!
Is it possible with MGLDR to flash Android AND WindowsPhone7 on my HD2 and select with MGLDR what i want to boot?
And if it is possible... is it also possible to change the Android Version or did i have to flash wp7 new on the hd2 if i change the android version?
I Believe EBL can do this..
what is EBL?
MAGLDR can do this... but it involves either a separate SDCard for android and its basically switching between cards to what ever you want to load... or install WP7 and shrink the WP7 partition on the sdcard to make space for an SD Version of Android

How can i shrink the WP7 partition? and i this the way to use 2 OS's on one SD Card?
And the other way u told me, to use 2 separate SD Cards includes that i have to install the OS on the sd card... and boot from the sd card... hmm
than it must be possible to boot one os from the rom and an other from the sd card....
but how can i do that?
Can u give me a step by step instruction?
thx a lot
and if i boot a OS from the sd card... make this an os slowly?

Theres the thread that explains Dual booting WP7 and android from either two sdcards or WP7(nand) and Android(SDcard)
Now Performance wise... Android on SDCard runs fine it just takes a while to load up and when its on nand it boots faster compared to the SDCard version.. Other then that they run very similar.. Battery is the biggest difference.. SDCard version doesn't last an entire day while the nand version holds a charge for a day or two of heavy use.

No one answer this question, I want to know that too, people says that it works, but copying and paste the folder Android to the sdcard, but the question is it possible Flash Android with MgLdr using a ROM ZIP build...
can you? yes .. how? android sd build and wp7 nand... how? flash wp7 partition sdcard shrink wp7 sdcard partition extend fat16 partition format to fat32 copy androod build over.. choose os to boot and done!...
search the forum or google for htc hd2 dualboot wp7 and android there are videos and instructions
I don't think this question has been answered with regard to mounting TFs Ext4 internal partitions as external partitions on a Linux Desktop PC.
Is this possible at all?
I want to do it so that I can use my Ubuntu system and view/modify/delete files directly on the TF. I have my beautiful Vim on my desktop or even Midnight Commander to move files around.
Would it be possible?

Nobody?
Bumping it up....
It is possible from the recovery (if you have clockworkmod).
aren't these partitions ext3 in the stock rom?

How, Please?
And are they Ext3 under stock? But now that I have Revolver ROM it should all be ext4 I think for me.
Will not happen out of the box, because the transformer will be identify as MTPFS.
The root cause is that the integrated memory is shared with the OS.
Thing that work.
-Wlan FTP Client<>Host
-ADB push & pull / DDM (can remember the GUI name, browse android dev folder)
-mtpfs (cant get that correctly working @ Fedora 15, some folders are empty )
-Mount from Clockwork
Tobad MTPFS dosnt work like Windows (can access internal mem, microsd, sdcard).
Hy There,another silly Q from me!(sorry :angel, i made a lot of things with my sd(partition and all that)and now i just want to format for my android again, but Minitool dont give me that option, it give me CREATE PARTITION option but i just want to format without partition, Windows dont recognize my sd cause aint formatted, what can i do?and....ntfs or fat 32, and.....primary or logical?
thank you all
I recommend using SD Formatter 3.1 for SD/SDHC/SDXC by the SD Association
You might need to Google it as I can't post links yet.
Parted Magic
I suggest using parted magic or any equivalent pre windows boot partion management tools , beleive me they work wonders .
yes but the problem that i have, or question is this, cant i format without partitions?because the only way i can format now is doing a partition, and i let all the space of the sd in that partition, but i dont want more partitions.please, step by step.
thank you

Hi,
I want to run Ubuntu on the TF101 but without touching the Android partition and losing anything from the current ROM installation.
Would it be possible to install Ubuntu on external SD card and run through boot with a custom bootloader ? (dual boot maybe)
I've searched for a thread for this but there are several Ubuntu threads on the development forum and most of them run Android with a different partition table on internal SD card.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it can't be done like that. It either replaces recovery or you do the pseudo dualboot.

ok; that's acceptable. But what about installing the Linux partition on SD card instead of the internal SD ?

I think this is what you are looking for. It's the Dualboot over external micro sd section
doing that is pretty straightforward, you just need to partition the external sd and pass the right parameter to the kernel while booting, but you still need to flash a secondary kernel ( hopefully on the SOS partition of your internal mmc ) so u will not actually get a *clean* dualboot.
It probably worths only if u wanna easily edit the rootfs content without using nvflash so much ( which u need anyway at least for the initial kernel download ).
An other advantage is that if u're planning to make lots of tests ( apt-get install *this*, autoremove *that* ... ) u will save ure internal hd a lot of read/write cicles getting some years more for ure device to live..
I did it on my B60 using OLiFE scripts, just edit the ./boot/dualboot.cfg file replacing the "root" kernel parameter with whathever partition u want ( probably blk1p1 on the simplest configuration ), format ure external ssd as u need ( you can do it right from android with a terminal emulator and fdisk/parted ), copy over ure new root partition the rootfs content of ure choise , flash the "edited" kernel with OLiFE and enjoy.
Is it possible to format a Android tablet completely. To give me a raw space that I could install something like Ubuntu or Windows even if I wanted to?
