[Q] Change new memory card - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i want to ask if i change a new memory card , after i format it to fat32 wat should i do next ? my friend done this but the phone still cant detect the sd card .. any solution ?

The phone should detect it after it has been formatted. If it's not detecting it, then something has gone wrong with the card or the phone. I suspect a dodgy card.
Really, all you have to do is this:
Backup your old card
Format your new card
copy the backup onto new card
That's all it should be, unless you're using A2SD or soemthing.

If you have multiple partitions, if you are using A2SD, then you might need something epic like Clonezilla to literally mirror the structure of the old SD card onto the new card. If after a format of FAT32 and the card isn't detected at all, then as the previous post said, the card is probably dud.

i going to buy class 10 8 gb memory card .. does it make the phone load the file faster ? or i juz get class 4 16g better

A2SD transfer the easy way for users
1 - create a nandroid backup of everything (this includes the A2SD ext partition)
2 - backup EVERYTHING from the mem card to your pc!
3 - insert new mem card
4 - run rom manager (download it from the market if you have to!)
5 - partition the new card with rom manager (creating an ext partition as well)
6 - Copy everything from the pc BACK to the NEW card!!!!
7 - Restore the nandroid backup!!!!!!!!!
You now have the phone back to the exact state you started with but with a different memory card installed!

[Q] New sd card and A2SD! Help

Hey guys, i had a samsung microsd 8gb class 2 card and i just got a 32gb lexar class 10 . i was on miui a2sd. i partitioned my 8gb card using rom manager (unfortunately), the 32gb is ALL fat32.
first, i copied my 8gb card to my computer, then transferred that to my 32gb. the card didnt work (phone stayed on HTC screen forever).
after a bit of fooling around, i backed up my apps+data to my 8gb sd using titanium, then i performed a factory reset of the phone. i then moved the dalvik cache back to internal memory and for some reason, the 32gb card worked in the phone.
then i decided to switch to mildwild rom instead of miui. the problem is, now when i open titanium with the 32gb card, NONE of my apps are shown. if i use the 8gb card, the apps are shown and able to be restored.
so can anybody explain this? and do i need to partition my 32gb for mildwild?
If your rom requires EXT partition, then obviously you have to create EXT partition on your new card.
via xda app
maybe you have an EXT partition in samsung card. You have to prepare partition on new card, do a nandroid backup with samsung card on, copy files to pc, paste files on lexar card and restore nandroid with lexar on.
If you were using MIUI A2SD then part of your 8GB will have a Ext partition. I suggest (no responsibility accepted) you partition your 32GB using gParted and use some kind of Linux OS to copy the files from the Ext partition of your old card to your new one. Failing that, do a nandroid back up on your 8GB and copy that over to your 32GB and restore. But be sure to have an ext partition of your 32gb because you need it for your MIUI A2SD.

Memory Card Formatting

Good Evening once again,
Now that my phone is up and running again thanks to some wonderful people on here I was wondering if some could offer some advice on my memory card.
I was given a 32GB m-sd card for xmas that I REALLY want to use in my phone however having a problem formatting it. Using Gparted it will only let me create one partition. If I put my old 8GB mem card in I can delete all the parts and then recreate the two (one Fat32 and one ext4) So is there a reason why I cant do it on my 32gb card and is it fixable?
Thanks,
Max
If youre a windows user, google and download h2testw.exe to test the SD card. Just to confirm that there are no errors in the entire 32GB of space.

Hello, I have a HTC Desire, and I have a problem with memory cards. I bought a 8gb class 4 card and the phone began to crash and restarira permanently. I thought that the problem is in the card and bought another - again the same way. Was previously with 4gb, no problems. If you have ideas please let decision. Use MildWild CM-3.8

Try Reflashing ROM.
or Use CM7.1
First, put back the memory card you were using before you had this problem (the old one) and flash the ROM you were using before you had this problem, now your phone is back the way it was (without changing the SD card)
now for the SD card, I'm not sure about that, but I saw a forum that says:
"you have to copy all the files from the old SD card to the new one and then change it and it will work fine" but you have to do this after doing the step I said before, Good luck
Hello,
i have a similar problem.
Recently i root my htc desire (first time after 18 month on original froyo 2.2) and succesfully flash a CM 7.1. For this change i removed the old 4gb card and i used an 2gb card, everything works CM is very fast.
Now i want a bigger card so i buy a 8gb class 10 kingston, i copy the partition from 2gb card to this new 8gb with gparted. The phone starts ok but after few minutes if i use an app on sd or an app that use sd (e.g. quickpic or es file explorer) the phone hang i cannot shutdown only restart removing the battery.
Now i return using the 2gb card. Is the 8gb class 10 uncompatible? or maybe an error on this sd? or i have to follow a different procedure to pass from one sd to another?
Thank you for any suggestions

As already stated above if you are moving critical Files to SD card then you must copy an entire Old SD card to New SD card. There is a way out of this just create a Nandroid backup in old Sd card and copy the nandroid backup in new SD Card and then just restore via recovery. Everything would be fine after doing so.
I follow your advise, i re-partition the sd (1 fat32 and 1 ext4 as in old 2gb sd), make a nandroid backup, insert the new 8gb sd and restore the nandroid backup.
Everything works, i can move 2 app to sd... and after i take a picture with camera and then... all apps that use sd hangs: es file explorer, gallery, camera, manage app,... and after a while the phone hangs i cannot shutdown... i remove battery e reuse the old 2gb sd
I was very happy after (my first) nandroid backup and restore, but now i'm very sad, maybe there is something wrong in the 8gb sd
thank you
I tried everything you wrote, but to me does not work for both cards. Yesterday I bought a 4gb and I gave up trying. Thanks for helping.

[Help] Switch partitioned sd card

Hi,
I want to switch the 32 GB sd card I have on my Desire for another sd card with just 16 GB. I need de 32 GB card for my Tablet.
The card is partinioned using 4-ext with 2GB ext4. I would like to keep my phone exactly as it is now and I thought I could use the following procedure:
1 - make a nandroid backup through 4-ext to the sd card and then make a backup of the sdcard on the pc;
2 - partition new sdcard the same way as the original one;
3 - copy the nandroid backup to the new card and restore it from the 4-ext recovery;
4 - copy the data of the first card's fat32 partition from the pc to the new one (fat32 partition).
Will this work?
Can't really try it right now because I've only just now ordered the new sdcard.
Sorry if the subject has already been discussed but the search funtion is not working so I could not search for it...
Tks...

[Q] Ext4 Memory Card 64 GB cannot be formatted

Dear Brainaics
I've got an issue,
My sd card is 64 gb sandisk class 10
I was using Pro Bam android 4.4.1 on my n7100
So I formatted my memory card within the rom.. It was fat 32 or ntfs
Later I got some issues with the rom, So I installed the stock rooted rom.
Ever since that I've been getting an unsupported file system.
Format Card - It shows formatting - then unsupported file system error - This goes on and on.
So i tried mounting it in Linux Ubuntu & try to format using gparted & terminal.
My data is there.. The card reads & all.
But I can't format it.
These are all the steps i've taken, I even tried sd formatter I got somewhere from xda!
Any useful info would be greatly appreciated by me offcourse mentally.
I mean i crave for knowing the reason behind this anomaly!
Have a good day...
Cheers
Can you delete any files on the card? I had a 64gb SanDisk card that had all my data but I couldn't format it, copy files or delete files from it, either on my phone or laptop.
SanDisk replaced it for me as it had developed a fault.
