I have a DHD that was my GF's. I used my old SD card 2GB to root it Running Rev HD. I have now taken all the item's off the 8Gb card that was in it originally.
Can i just put the old card back in or should i put the rom on the 8GB card?? Also i'm under the impresion that the HTC SYNc will be on the original card. Will this cause a problem??
I used th AHK to root.
Please advise
Thanks

Just wondering,
I'm planning to put a new (bigger) SD card in my desire now that 2.2 is out and apps etc can be installed onto it and i'm running out of space.
whats the best way to do it? just a straight copy and paste of all the stuff on my old card to the new one or is there anything else i need to do to the new card before using it as to not lose anything thats on the old one.
I too am interested in this... what is the best method? (I've got a good vodafone desire so still waiting for update)
Also, microSD cards come in different grades... any recommendations??

I did this last week. Just use your usb cable and connect your phone to a pc as a hard-drive. Copy all the files on the phone into a folder on the pc.
On your phone, go to settings > SD & Phone storage > Unmount SD card
Turn off your phone, open up the back remove battery and SD card.
Insert new card, replace battery and cover. Turn phone back on.
Settings> SD & Phone Storage > Format SD Card
Once formatted then copy and paste all the files on your pc back into your phone.
When I bought a 32gb card that's exactly what I did.
I'd move any apps you have installed on the old card back to the phone first.
Copy & paste will do. I bought a 32GB Sandisc off ebay a few weeks ago, turns out it's fake and crashes the phone a lot. Beware.
As for class, I think you need a class 2 card.

I used a micro SDHC card.
thanks for the help especially @saorsa1985
Thanks for the help!! Will order a new card today.
I bought a new SDcard (ADATA 16GB Class 6 MicroSD) I formatted it FAT32, exactly like the original 8GB card and copied all the data from the original SD card onto it. The phone won't recognize the new card at all. My computer recognizes it just fine, but when i put it in the phone, the phone does not see it at all. I've searched for an answer for two days. Any suggestions?

As I said, it was an ADATA card, I bought it on Newegg.com. The card reads and writes fine in my PC, but the phone won't recognize it at all, says card not found.
Make sure you have a copy on your PC (sounds like you do) then put the card in the phone and see if you can format it in the phone.
I had that problem once...it was a bad card...I sent it back, bought a new one at best buy and everything was fine

Got the replacement and it works great. Thanks guys.

Could be the brand. I'm a photographer and I would never trust my images on an Adata card. I use only Sandisk for my wedding shoots and my 32gb Sandisk works great in my Evo.
I have the SD card that came with phone, which is locked to t-mob. I got a 2nd 2 gig card and formatted that and did the gold card thing, now I have the orig SD card in. Is phone still carrier unlocked? If I downgrade and install Rom from the 2 gig card and then put the 8 gig card in will it still work?

I take it , the t-mobile is the 8GB card ??, You should be able to format that anyway - if it is 'locked ' there will be a work around.
- (can you explain sd card locked to me ??- or are you saying that this 8gb sd card has the tmobile rom on - but is editible (ie - you cant take and add stuff to it freely)
( if your saying your PHONE IS LOCKED TO T-MOBILE - then its not to hard to sim -unlock and flash roms too, )
!!! TOP TIP - DONT UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE VERSION AS PAST A CERTAIN SW VERSION A DOWNGRADE WILL BE REQUIRED TO S- off, Sim unlock ect - YET !!!
Ok - your trying to do similar to I have done. Once you have downgraded and installed/flashed a new rom of your choice from your new 2gb card then I cant see a reason why you cant remove your 2gb card and insert the 8gb Tmobile sd.
This should have no massive effect other than your loss of the original tmobile rom and settings.
Be advised though once you start messing with your phone - you'll invalidate you warranty.
Is this phone on contract or from an ended contract ...are you free to do with it what u want ??, ie unlock and use on any network ??
Ive just got an ORANGE BRANDED HTC Desire HD- which was an unwanted upgrade. This was obviously locked to Orange( with orange rom on sd ), I got another sd card, gold carded it, downloaded a rom - placed on this sd and flashed, then put back in my orange sd and it hasnt effected the phone at all..... (you can just wipe you t-mobile sd once youve installed a new rom, Normal format - not fast - use again - then back up you new installed rom to that 8gb card - then you back to using your 8gb card)
If you have an unwanted upgrade or an out of contract phone I d highly recommend flashing a new rom to it, these branded roms(orange rom, tmobile rom ect ect) are full of bloatware and often limited and slow compared to the DEV Roms, even a move to a stock HTC rom will show a great improvement.
Here's a bunch of guide links I used Goldcard, downgrade, s-off , upgrade ect

thank you for the info,
the 8gig card that came with phone has all my camera images of my boy, and apps i have downloaded from market, and any other stuff that is saved to the sd card, so i didnt want to format it to make a goldcard, that i why i used the 2 gig card as goldcard, and lan to use that same 2 gig card to flash roms from, then just re-insert the 8 gig card to have all my apps and images (will apps work after a new rom flashed? or will i need to re download them?)
Plug your 8gb sd into a sd card holder and plug into your pc, explore the sd card, you should find your photo's in gallery, there should also be a folder called apps backup - all your apps should be in there, also check the download folder - you may find some are in there also. just check that youve found every thing you want to save, copy it to a pc - and then you can overwrite that card
ps. the apps in the apps backup folder on your 8gb, can be saved to your pc, you can then wipe the card, goldcard it, downgrade , route install rom ect and then simply put the apps backup folder back onto the 8gb card, then download astro or another android file explorer , look at your sd card when in your Desire - locate the apps backup folder and then just re-install them - no probs - THATS what Ive been doing - today - all works fine
Hi, I seem to be having an odd problem with my Desire, I'm running a Stock Desire on T-Mobile UK, using the SD card that came with the phone, I had no problems until yesterday when the phone reported that no SD card was in it, it is acting as if no card is in it at all when using the Samsung card that came with it. First thing I tried was to put the Micro SD card in my Laptop, it worked, could read the files, so I was worried that the card reader on the phone had gone, they I found an old Nokia 512 MB card and tried that in the desire, it worked fine, no problems, so I'm not quiet sure what to do from here.
I was thinking backup the micro SD that came with the phone, format it in windows, and then see if it works, one question, what would be the best way to back it up?, are there hidden files that require extra software rather than just dragging and dropping in windows?
If not then I will buy a new SD and hope that works.
Thanks for any help
PS. I don't know if this is in the wrong section, so sorry if it is.
Since it can't read the card anymore, you can't backup apps. Format it with Android, or use SDFormatter.

No, you can select and move or whatever you want.
Heya,
I just received my repaired HTC Desire Z and seems they reset it and removed (and stole -.-) my SD card.
Now until I have a new SD card, I already wanted to try and root it again. But is that possible without one? Guides say that I need one with enough capacity but can't I use my internal space with 1GB?

(Evil people.) No u can't, u don't have access to this memory, even when u connect the phone to ur computer, u will not get any popup. When u will try to push something into the phone though ADB, it will say something about sdcard not mounted.

Yes You need an SD card, it's the only area of memory that you can store files to be flashed/restored/backedup/etc as rooting/flashing etc is going to wipe that internal memory anyways depending on which action.
Did you least notify them that they did not provide back an SD card?
But yea you'll need to get a new SD card for you to do anything recovery/rooting/etc wise.
Well I'm quite sure that I won't get my SD card back since it was the HTC repair center and I guess it is a standard procedure to remove SIM card and sd card before resetting anything. I was warned by the shop with the sim card but guess he forgot to tell me about the sd card. Gonna try it but well...
Anyways, can I borrow an sd card from a friend, root my smartphone and give it back afterwards? Or are the files on the card required?
Nope you can use the borrowed sdcard and then not use an sd until you get one. Any files put on that sd are not of use for the most part after root. You can save them to your pc and download them to your sd when you get it if you'd like but you'll be fine with out them as well
