[Q] How to upgrade SD card, for MIUI+ ROM? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, first of all I must say this is such a great forum so many resources and info, amazing stuff.
Sorry for the noob question but I am planning to replace my 8gb card for a 32Gb one.
I have installed the Miui+ GTj94 V3.0 Rom how should I proceed to have it up and running, do I need to partition?
Is there any App I should install to help me with this task, and which steps should I follow?
Thanks in advance, any info help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

sd card unmounted

Hi, first of all I apologize for may bad English.
Well, I installed Froyo on my O2 (my storage) using Ubuntu. The problem is that Froyo doesn't recognise my sd card.
I tried to change two files (init.rc and vold.fstab) but nothing is changed.
I installed Froyo without the sd card inserted.
I formatted the sd card (FAT32).
When I remove the sd card the program recognise this operation. But when I install the sd card Froyo doesn't recognize it.
I hope that you can undestand me.
Thanks a lot

[Q] Changing sd cards after ace hack kit - advice needed

Hi there,
I hope someone can give me a little advice on this matter as I can't find the answers I'm looking for so far.
I have basically flashed my first rom on my dhd using ace hack kit to root and s-off my device and make a goldcard as it was locked to t-mobile. Everything has worked fine and I flashed runnydroid no problem at all. Becuse It was my first time flashing I used a new 8gb sd card so I could start fresh. I have filled this sd card up really quickly and would like to swap it for my 16gb card I am wondering if this will cause issues with the gold card and other files.
If I clean my new card can I just transfer all files over from the current sd card can I just carry on or will the card need to be partitioned and so on? Can someone just give me a heads up on what I need to do?
Thanks in advance

You should be fine with the goldcard thing! If not just redo the process. HOWEVER! When you move the files from the old SD card to the new one remember to take ALL the files. Including hidden ones. Very important!

You can format your SD card after doing the rooting. You can make gold card any time. If you still sceptical about this keep all the files somewhere safe. Specially the file start with "part7" which contains important information regarding partition when stock ROM was installed. This is most important file, rest you can delete IMO. SD card doesn't need any partition, just format it with FAT32.
Be gracious, hit "Thanks" if my post helped you.

[Q] Formatting SD Card

Hey all,
Today I've finally unlocked my bootloader and installed DoomKernel. So far it's amazing.
I do have a question though, it's about the SD Card. There's so much junk on my SD Card, I just want to clean it up but what would be the best way to do so?
Is it really as simple as My Computer > Right click Phone's SD Card > Format?
Or are there some system apps I should be wary of?
I've tried some quick searches with no luck..
Thanks in advance!
I suggest use SD Formatter 3.1
You will feel the change !
Nevermind, solved.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10(rc1) - can't move apps to sd card -

Hello everyone,
I spent days looking at this thread doing research on how to root + backup + add custom roms and did it all myself using all the brilliant instructions on the site, so thank you very much, especial to arco 68 who i believe is the guru around here.
However, I recently installed cyanogenmod10 rc1, and it installed and runs perfectly but for some reason I can't access my external sd card when I got into file manager, and also can't move the new apps i download into the external sd. This will lead to my internal memory filling up very fast.
Can someone please explain step by step, and in as basic english as possible how to remedy this?I would greatly appreciate it!:crying:

Did you swap sd card? If you swapped it, you can move some apps to external sd (which is written as internal sd). You can swap it by look at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41253499

Just search the line that exactly like the post. Yup, you must reboot your phone. Oh, if you want to move some apps to sdcard, just go to settings, manage apps, than go to on sd card. That is the app that can move to sd card. Click it, and click move to sd card. Hope it will help you

Do you need SD card to mod?

Hi guys
Apologies for this basic question but im trying to determine whether or not you do need an SD card or not to start putting on custom ROMs??
I have just upgraded from HTC One X and that didnt have an SD slot, but the internal storage was partitioned i think so i was able to just put zips onto the SD partition and do it that way.
Is the M8 the same or is this a phone where I definately need an SD card as there is a slot for one??
Ive done a bit of searching but cant quite find the answer.
Thanks :good:
