try titanium back up then backup your apps, format and add new partition to new sd
then transfer all data from old card to new card then run titanium restore?
Oh, I did this today without any backup, just put the contents of the 4gb onto a fat32 partition on the new 8gb. Seems to be fine so far.

Do you still have a full 8gb card though or is it reduced to 4gb now?
Thanks

Sorry for asking again, but what about the partition? The sd card has a partition so if I copy my contents over will I still have full use of 8gb (less the 4gb contents) etc.

I have unrevocked forever on my incredible. I have a 16gb sd card in the phone. My question is if I upgrade to a 32gb sd card will I loose my root. I think I should be able to power down take out the card transfer everything to the 32gb put the card back in and power up and everything will be ok. Any help would be much appreciated thank you

I was new once also and have asked some DUMB questions so ill follow his comment wish a reason. Root does not store on your SD card its all internal memory files. Only hand SD had in the root was flashing zip files from the card in the internal memory
I appreciate you being helpful and nice about it I no I'm a noob just didn't want to mess my phone up and after thinking about it I just pulled it and everything was fine.

I actually have a question regarding this.
I want to upgrade to a 16gb sd card and was wondering if there is a thread showing step by step instructions to do so.
I'm rooted and have a couple roms backed up along with titanium backing up my apps.
Do I really have to format the new sd card to fat 32? the 2gb sd card that came with it seems to work fine which I believe isn't formatted fat 32.
Is it really as easy as copying and pasting over??? I did not partition the sd card.
Also, after searching the forums I ran into a concerning thread regarding sd cards that DON'T work.... should I be worried?

If you want to transfer your files from the 2gb sd card to the 32 gb sd card just copy all files to the 32 gb sd card. Be sure to format the 32 gb sd to FAT32. I dont know how you didnt have to format your other card to fat32 unless you havent turned s-off. But anyways to format it to fat32 just plug in phone to computer( make sure you put phone on disk drive not charge only) and open "My computer"(shows all your drives ex. C:, D:, ect.) Right click on the drive that is your sd card and choose format. Make sure its in FAT32 and click format. You can do quick format too. Hope this helps

Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking it was a lot harder than just copying over the files.
I have S-Off and I am pretty sure it's not formatted FAT32. I just checked the properties and it just says "FAT" and if I go to format it the selection at default shows "FAT" as well. But if standard procedure is to format to FAT32 I will on my next sd card.

Copy my apps from one SD card to another? I just bought a 16gb class 4 micro sd for my Desire to replace the stock 4gb class 2. I copied everything from the 4gb to the 16gb via my computer.
Now it seems that none of the apps are showing up as usable, they are still on the SD card under applications but I can't launch any of them.
Am I missing something, is there a way to do it without copying them to my phone in stages and then re-copying them to my new SD card?
Apologies if this has been answered in another thread, it's just whenever I search I get threads about A2SD which don't answer my question at all.
Copy .android_secure folder over.

no expert but it might depend if you are using A2SD .....
easiest way would be to do a titanium backup of the apps then copy the backups from one SD to another. Then just restore again ....

I'll give it a shot after dinner, I tried copying the secure folder, but to no avail. Titanium backup seems like my only option.
Nand backup with your other SD card and copy backup to new card, then restore with new card

It turns out I didn't actually copy the .android_secure to the root of the memory card. Derp. Thanks guys. It's sorted now.
Hi guys!
I have a question about using SD Cards.
I'm currently using the 8GB SD Card that came with the phone, but after awhile, the space just seems insufficient.
If i buy a new 16GB or 32GB SD Card, can i just copy everything over to the new SD Card and use it as per normal? Will it affect any of my rooting capabilities or activities (e.g. Making nandroids, restoring nandroids)
Use it as normal. I backup SD card to PC. Transfer what I want to new card.

And if you gonna buy a new card try to get a higher class card like 10 witch is the fastest one ....
The transfer will be alot faster ...
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
Sry for the English, I use google

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.
For now im using 2gb memory card and im planning to buy 8gb memory card because it almost full. So, is there any software that can backup all my files including save game data and everything on my memory card?
Just copy and paste it in your pc

how about all my save game data? i already tried to use titanium backup before, but its not working
All your saved game data is stored in the sd card itself so just transfer the contents to the new sd card and it should work

Ummm yeah. There's a great application called "Ctrl+C". You select everything in your SD, run that program, and then press "Ctrl+V" in a folder to your desktop.
Works wonders.
