Maybe I am not understanding completely but do you mean that you did a NAND backup and then formatted your SD card, now you want to restore your backup? I might be missing something here but just remember that a NAND backup is basically taking a snapshot of your system's state and writing that to a single image file on your SD card. That way if you screw up a setting or want to swap between different ROMs you just restore the image from your storage card. If you format the card you are deleting all saved data including backup images.

I want to buy a new sd card since the one I have is a class 2 card.
How do I do this? I have installed loads of progs on my old card?
Do a Titanium backup, copy the file to pc, swap sd card and run titanium again?
Or should I flash the rom?
Any ideas?

sorry
I would do a nandroid backup onto the old SD card, then do a total copy and paste of everything on the old SD to your PC. Get the new card and put the pasted stuff on to this one, then do a nandroid restore.
The only reason I'd do it this way is because I've read that titanium can be a bit odd at times and doesn't seem to work 100% every time.
Quick question:
I want to give my phone a clean up and want to know if it's safe to do the following;
1. Get in to recovery and do a backup
2. download back up to pc (full SD card copy to PC)
3. Format SD card (here's where i need help, what do i need to put back on the SD card from my back up? i.e Titanium backup anything else?
4. flash new ROM CM7 nightly
Anything else? whats the best way to format the SD card?
Thanks

So thats how to erase the sd card what about the other things i listed?

Thanks

I'd:
1. Backup apps you want the data for using Titanium Backup
2. Copy the contents of the SD card to your PC
3. Format SD card in PC using card reader
4. Copy back the data you want from original SD card backup to the clean SD card
5. Flash new ROM
6. Restore data from Titanium Backup

This is what i would like to get confirmation on, What do i need back on the sd card? Titanium Backup i assume, will the phone put what ever it needs back on if i format from the PC rather than the phone?
Thanks

I don't understand what you mean. If you copy everything from the SD card to your PC and then format the SD card you'll have a clean SD card. Then copy back the folders you need (Titanium Backup, photos, music, etc). The phone will then create the other folders it needs on first boot

I find that I am running out of room on my SD card in the Evo. I can't figure out what is filling it up so I want to reformat and start over. After a year of apps, ROMS, downloads and such it just seems to pile up. A bunch of it, I have no idea what it's for.
Assuming I do not install apps on SD, move all my Titanium backups, and nandroid files off the SD......what will happen? Everything that needs a file will just reinstall onto the card and I will be good to go?

Backup what you want two keep, stick the sd card in your computer, format, and put back in after putting files you backed up back onto the sd card

Or, depending on your rom, go to Menu-Settings-SD & phone storage, select Unmount SD card and then select Format SD card. Also, you can go into recovery, especially if you're using amon RA v2.3, and then go to the wipe menu and then select WIPE SD CARD or while in recovery, go to the partition menu and select partition SD card. All of the available options are effective.
Thanks to both of you.
I'm running CM7 and RA recovery. I'll just send my "keeper" files to Dropbox and or Cloud Drive then format in RA.

That's because you don't have the sd-ext partition data on the sd-card. Stick the old one back in, see if it boots. If it does, do advanced backup, sd-ext, put the backup on new sd-card, put new sd-card in, and restore sd-ext.
sd ext?? i will find a folder with the name sd ext on the old sd card after the advance backup and copy paste it to the new?the phone boots with the old sd card.

What you should do is restore sd-ext to new card.
Should be "old card in - backup - copy paste backup to new card fat - new card in - advanced restore data (or maybe some recovery has a sdext restore selection?)".
Hope it help
-With old sd card on the phone, go to recovery and do Nandbackup.
-make ext partition on new sd
-copy all files from old sd to new sd
-place new sdcard to phone
-go to recovery and nandrestore

Help please,
I made a nandroid backup of data in TWRP before flashing CloudyG3_2.4.
After the phone came up and I restored my apps using smsbackup, at this point, I could see the external sd card and all the contents.
I then reboot into recovery and restored data only from nandroid backup made earlier and rebooted the phone.
From here, I cannot see the SD card when the phone restarted but:
1. The sdcard works on other phones/computers without problems and has all the data intact.
2. I can see the SD card and all the files when I reboot into TWRP recovery and go to file Explorer
3. SD card is mounted in the advanced settings in TWRP.
4. Someone on a thread advised I formatted the sdcard to "FAT" in TWRP but I first backed up on my PC with a card reader before putting the SD card back in the phone to format but even though it says successful, it is giving an MTP error = 1
5. I can't find the SD card or any of its files using rootbrowser, or sdmaid etc ie. In normal boot.
I need help please. Thanks
