Hi
I have Leedroid 2.3b ROM with A2SD+ and 4GB SD card.
Bought a bigger SD card today and have made the parititions on it but HOW to I backup/move all the contents to the new SD card?
I have tried various Disk Image tools but the Ext3 data can't be read.
I don't have Linux either.
Thanks in advance.

Hey fellas,
I currently have T-mod leedroid 2.2d on my desire. Works fantastic.
My question is: can i simply backup my sd card onto my HD, then use Rom Manager and partition my sd card with 512mb and 0 swap then restore back the files to the sd card?
Will my phone restore to its original state?
Currently i have partial apps stored to sd with delvik in the internal memory.
Thanks,
Brendan
Hi,
I partitioned my sd card by this software - MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
to 2 partitions: EXT3 -1GB and FAT32 - 7GB.
(SD card of 8 GB)
now, my HTC Desire doesnt upload and stuck on the screen of my rom.
i tried to upload it with no sd card ad it stuck on the HTC screen.
i cant format the sd card by the recovery and i cant upload files on it by the computer.
i can use ADB when the phone plug in to the computer.
HELP!!
What can i do?
Did your desire work before you partitioned your SD Card?
I would suggest reformatting the card into the partitions you mentioned above, and copy a ROM to the FAT32 partition. Then, reflash a rom (with the SD Card inserted, obviously).
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.

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.
Howdy! I wanted to swap over my SD card which is a sandisk class 2 4GB which is partioned for my custom ROM. I'm not too sure what will happen if I partion the new one? I was wondering if I would have to reinstall the ROM if I stuck it in my droid?
On a sort of spin-off. How do I restore my 4GB SD card to stock without partion. (Would I lose the ability to use my ROM if I partition it again after clean partition?)
No need to reinstall ROM. If you have apps on the SD card, then you'll have to reinstall them.
Edit: you have many ways to remove partitions from the SD card. Do you use Windows and have a card reader? If yes you can delete the partitions in Disk management.
I've got an 8GB SD Card which i plan to upgrade to a 32GB installed in my HTC Desire
Only problem is my Desire running CM7 Official is also running Simple2Ext and Ive installled quite a few apps now (well over the Desires own internal space)
Is there an easy way to upgrade my SD Card and copy the Ext partition from my old 8GB card?
- nandroid backup using your current sd card
- partition your new sd card (4ext or gparted)
- copy everything from old sd card to new sd card (you'll only see the FAT32 partitions in windows, just copy everything you can see, as this will include the nandroid backup)
- insert new sd card and nandroid restore (will restore your ext partition as before)
not tried this with s2e, but should work
Yes this method works brilliantly as I used it personally couple of times in past.

thanks for that, i'll give it a bash
