Hey, I just got a 16 Gb SD card to replace my 8 gb card and I need to know what I should do to replace it. My 8 gb is partitioned and I want a bigger partition on my new one. I know how to partition it but I'm not sure if I need to just wipe everything and start from scratch. How do I replace the info in the partition to my new partition? I know to put my old SD info on my computer and copy it to my new one, its the partition info I'm unsure of.

i want to ask if i change a new memory card , after i format it to fat32 wat should i do next ? my friend done this but the phone still cant detect the sd card .. any solution ?
The phone should detect it after it has been formatted. If it's not detecting it, then something has gone wrong with the card or the phone. I suspect a dodgy card.
Really, all you have to do is this:
Backup your old card
Format your new card
copy the backup onto new card
That's all it should be, unless you're using A2SD or soemthing.
If you have multiple partitions, if you are using A2SD, then you might need something epic like Clonezilla to literally mirror the structure of the old SD card onto the new card. If after a format of FAT32 and the card isn't detected at all, then as the previous post said, the card is probably dud.

A2SD transfer the easy way for users
1 - create a nandroid backup of everything (this includes the A2SD ext partition)
2 - backup EVERYTHING from the mem card to your pc!
3 - insert new mem card
4 - run rom manager (download it from the market if you have to!)
5 - partition the new card with rom manager (creating an ext partition as well)
6 - Copy everything from the pc BACK to the NEW card!!!!
7 - Restore the nandroid backup!!!!!!!!!
You now have the phone back to the exact state you started with but with a different memory card installed!

I'm running baadnews hd rom with a 512mb ext partition, i have now got a new 8gb card, obviously i cant just swap cards so how do i go about setting up the new card so that i can use it in my phone??
And is there a tool that will allow me to set up a 1gb partition?
I used gparted to partition my SD card. Make sure you put the partitions in order of storage, ext and swap
I bought myself a new 8gb MicroSD card to replace the 4gb card I currently have. My rom uses the a2sd ext partition.
Is there anything I need to before I can change cards? I'm guessing i need to partition the new card, do I need to copy the files from the old ext partition to the new one? Or would it just be better to partition and then do a full wipe on my phone?
Cheers

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.
via xda app
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.
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...
