How do you change from a 8gb microsd to 16gb whilst running a custom rom?

as the title suggests i have leedroid 2.3 froyo rom and have been running it with a 8gb microsd for a couple of months, sd card partitioned,gold card etc.
8gb card created into gold card with gold card creator tool on modaco
however if i put my 16gb card in desire it doesn't boot, maybe due to fact that it isnt a gold card too, and no leedroid rom info?.
questions
1. do i have to unroot and reinstall a generic 3uk rom (my network)
2. create 16gb gold card
3. unroot again.
any quicker way as i would like to try 2.3 roms out on 16gb card
and yes i have tried searching but i find xda search engine pretty useless guys sorry bots.

Does not have to be a goldcard (better tho).
If you are using A2SD+ then you need to partition the new card (with FAT32+EXT) then
a) Re-flash the ROM and restore things via TI Backup or Mybackup PRO.
or
b) copy the content form the old card's EXT partition to the new card's EXT partiton (Linux OS required AFAIK).

You can also make a nandroid, partition your new card, copy everything from the fat partition to the new card and restore the nandroid (with your new card in the phone).

thanks guys

[Q] Custom ROM and New SD Card

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.

use titinum backup for backing up your apps then copy those backup files to computer then change sd card.... copy the backup ffolder then restore them using titinum backup

upgrading SD card that has S2E

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.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA

thanks for that, i'll give it a bash

[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...
