Ive got a new 16gb card coming, im running leedroid 2.2f with apps2sd. I thought it would be a simple swap but seemingly it isnt. Whats the best way to get everything onto the 16gb? Ive got a microsd card reader for the pc.
I dealt with the same issue recently. I copied everything from my old card to the PC, and then used ROM Manager to format and partition the new card. Aftrr that I copied everything I had on the old card to the new card. I'm using a variation of Leedroid's ROM as well.
Best of luck

How do I going about getting the data from the other partition? as I cant see that in explorer
Haven't thought of that. I didn't have a partition on my old card.

well, bit the bullet, downloaded ubuntu, partitioned new sd card and copied everything from old card to new partitions, ext3 and fat. Put in phone and constant reboot at leedroid screen. I'd done a clockworkmod backup before hand so run restore and everythings okay now. Not the tidiest way of doing it but its worked.

I just swapped my old SD for a new 32gb one and all seemed fine until I tried to partition it. It got stuck in a boot loop after and now will not go past it. I've tried reformating it but it stays stuck. If I swap back to my old Sd card I can do a nandroid but the 32gb still wont work.
one difference I've noticed between the old and new is the old (working) card comes up with "no image" when I load into HBoot. The new one does nothing.
Any ideas welcome as I'm far from an expert here.
Thanks
Hi, did you try to use it in your pc? I had the same problem with my 16gb. Try format it in your pc. For me this worked.

I have a mac. I used Disk Utility to format it to MS-FAT, something that has worked with previous cards. I can copy files to the card if i mount it in recovery, but the files are not recognized (I copied a rom across to try and flash it)
Can you format the card in recovery? My mba had also Problems with the 16gb card. I formated it in my camera, after that everything worked well.

Hi
I'm having issues with sticking a new SD card in my Rooted Desire. I am running the NeoPhyTe Mod v1.8 Sense-FroYo 2.2 ROM, and it seems great (before I was running Pays Desire Rom which had the same problem).
My old 4gb card was partitioned with 512mb for Apps to SD (I can't even remember how I did this now, but I seem to recall it being really easy), and worked flawlessly. The new card can be seen in Windows 7 when I go into recovery on the phone and select mount USB Storage, and I seem to be able to get into it to format the card, but when I reboot, the phone hangs at the HTC screen. There is nothing on the card apart from the ROM I installed.
I've tried partitioning it in Recovery with ADB/Clockwork, but Parted will not load/work. I've tried...well, everything I could find over the last 4 hours to try to sort this out. It should be a simple task, surely!?
All I'm trying to do is put in a new 16gb card, partition it for Apps2SD and reinstall my backed up apps. I have been trying to do this since 9am (it is now 12.50pm), and my head is well and truly done in. Can anyone help? Please? I am at my wits end!
logcat is log
If you hang on the HTC Splash screen, a good place to start is always
Code:
adb logcat
Do this simple job..put da 16gb mem crd in card reader and connect with pc...partition it using paragon parititon manager or easeus partition manager...now freshly install a rom on this card..i m sure it will work flawlessly...n offcourse you can restore ur apps by transferring da backup to new card and restoring frm backups using backup manager or any backup software...

Today I installed the rom called Pirate rum. But now I can't mount my SD card. I tried booting into recovery to flash another rom. But not even clockwork can mount it.
I have tried using a cardreader in my computer. It reads the card fine.
I then backed up files and formatted the card, but it's still unreadable.
Also tried another card.
Are there anyone who might be able to help?

Same thing happened to me a few month ago. Formated the card in both windows and ubuntu. Still couldnt mount untill i formated it using a program in windows. Took like 40 min to format it. I forgot what its called and im not home right now but i have it instaled on my pc. Ill tell you when i get home

does the device read your sim card? it sounds like a usb brck if, its happening with more than one card
It reads the sim card. It's the SD card which doesn't work...
Also tried with amon ra.
I got it!
It was usb bricked. I remembered a tutorial from modaco, and fixed it.
Thanks Androhero. (For making me think it could be that. )
Hi,
I havent seen this question asked already and it might be a dumb question but im going to buy a new SD card today to replace my original 2GB one from my Desire. And currently im running the Leedroid 3.3.3 ROM. When i get my new SD card, would i have to re-flash Leedroid onto my phone again. Or would i just have to partition the SD card and then everything should work as normal?
Thanks In Advance
reflash, because of a2sd
Would i have to do a full wipe and then flash? Or can i just flash it straight over the top of the original one?

Also would i be able to do a nandroid backup to my SD card which i have now? And then when ive partitioned my new SD card. Put the nandroid backup files onto the 8GB card and then should it be able to bring everything backup again? Eg Leedroid and etc

Yes you can do this. It will work as long as none of the files get corrupted.

Okaay thanks, also i cant find my micro sd adapter at the moment. Is it possible if i did a nandroid backup to my 2GB card and then put the nandroid files onto my computers hard drive. And then put the 8GB card in the phone and transfer it onto the 8GB card. And then powered my phone down and then booted into recovery mode. Would i be able to restore by nandroid files from the SD?
Yes. As long as you put it in the exact same folder path. Just copy the entire clockworkmod folder instead of just the nandroid files.

Do a nand backup of your current rom on your current sd card. Then partition your new SD card the same way you partitioned your original card. Maybe even increasing your EXT size if you want.
Now transfer all the files on your fat partition from old SD to the new. Make sure you copy the clockworkmod folder where the nand backup file was saved.
Put the new card on your phone and reboot to recovery and do a nand restore. That should do it.
If I missed out anything or something is not correct with what I said please correct me.
Good luck.

I tried exactly what you said and it didn't work, i get stuck in a bootloop after doing the nandroid recovery on the new SD card. Thankfully everything works fine when i put the old SD card and do the same nandroid recovery. I don't know if this matters but im using LeeDrOiD 3.3.3 R5 and i installed his "Dalvik Cache to /sdext" file and when im in recovery mode i get messages saying "cant mount sdext".
Would be very thankful if anyone could help me out
I hate to pee on bonfires but I've had limited success with SD cards. Some seem to accept EXT, others don't. I even got a 16Gb card that turned out to be a 32Gb card but it won't accept the EXT. Some you win....

I think I tried that too as well (Along with wipe cache partition), although i'm not sure if I did it before restoring or after restoring (i most likely did it both before and after), will try again and let you know.
Hey,
I'm selling my HTC Desire so I want to change the SD card back to the original one. I'm using 8GB and want to switch to 4GB. My Desire is rooted with the SGBS Rom on top.
I tried to just copy the data from the 8GB card to the 4gig (deleted MP3s and stuff) and inserted the 4gig in the phone. But all I got was a bootloop. The 8gig is working fine still.
Can you guys tell me what to do now? Would be so nice.

make an ext partition on the 4gb one
How do I do that? Through the recovery?
easiest way is with a program - gparted

Or via 4ext recovery

Or via reading some of the plethora of available guides on how to do that.
Or simply run a RUU. Selling a phone in any other state than full stock is pure idiocy in my book.

+1 on that
Unless you already have a person lined up for buying the (rooted) phone off you already, why narrow the potential buyer range?
I'll avoid creating another topic and ask here. I just bought an 8gb card for my Desire (originally it has a 4gb one). I don't have a A2SD or anything like that currently, but I possible will in the future. The phone is rooted, S-OFFed and runs MIUI. What I did. Made a nandroid backup, copied it and titanium backup files to the desktop using SD adapter, the inserted the 8gig card into the phone, partitioned it with the help of CWR. So I' ve created a 256mb EXT4 partition, 32mb SWAP one, the rest is FAT32. Then I've put the nandroid backup to the new card, booted to recovery and tried to restore it. But the MD5 sum was wrong.. WTF? Am I doing something wrong? Cheers for any help?

Run Nandroid backup once more. Probably there is problem with Recovery Image.
Thanks mate. Should've tried it myself first before asking. It did help

Ha, I doubt that's the easiest way for someone that just asked how to partition an sdcard.
