I just rooted my phone with a 8gb memory card with the ace hack kit. But I want a new 16gb card and was wondering can I just pop it in the phone without any pre-treatment? Do I have to re gold card it? Thanks

Once you're rooted and s-off, you can use any sdcard. The gold card is only needed while you're rooting, not afterwards.
Arigato! Happy holidays

hi,
i have a Desire that's now rooted with a 8GB SD card,
just wanting to know if i can now upgrade to a 16GB card without having to make it a goldcard like i had to with the 8GB?
Thx for any help
I don't think you need the Gold Card when you are rooted, so you can upgrade safely .
IIRC you still need a goldcard even with root. Not 100% though.
I used gold card to go from stock to root... and then I threw it away, never used it ever again and I flash daily
Thx for the help guys..
save me starting a new topic,
i have the default 4GB card in there at the mo, can i just copy the files on it to a new SD card, pop it in and that's it?
I have a debranded Desire 2.2 which is not rooted. Inside my phone i have an 8gb sd card which contains data for many apps as i use adb push apps to sd.
To debrand my phone, i created a gold card from a seperate 2gb sd card.
My question is; Is there any way i can make my main sd card into my gold card without affecting any of my apps which i have stored on it? The reason i am asking this is that i require my gold card for any future updates and this will save a great deal of hassle with reinstalling applications everytime i require an update.
When I made a gold card (didn't actually need it in the end to debrand BTW using unrevoked). I couldn't access it as a normal SD card... Would be nice to know how to do this. I have a 4GB Gold card (which is pretty much useless), and a 8GB ext3/FAT32 card!

If you copy all the files on you card to another location, format the card, make a gold card, and copy the files back, all should be fine

You could just move your apps back to internal memory and then swap out the card and reformat.
I think its even easier:
Dismount SD card, remove and insert in PC, copy its contents and then copy them to your new card. Insert new card.
That's what I did when I formated my card when I was suspicious it had errors. No need to move data to memory.
OK I'm not sure if this is the rite place for this question but I'm planning on getting a 16 or 32 gig SD card for my phone if its rooted using the gold card method can I simply put my files over to the new one or do I have to reroot my phone with the new SD in it? Thanks in advance

New SD card after root?
bump for an answer...
I have a 8gb sd card in my Inspire and was wondering if i get a 32gb sd card, can i just transfer my stuff over to the new card and pop it in the phone with no ill effect?
Will it unroot my phone?
I would think it wouldnt cause that should be internal memory, right?
I just want to make sure, Thanks.

No, it will not unroot your phone. Here's how I know:
I originally had a 2 GB memory card that came with my Infuse. I used it for a few days until my 16 GB memory card came in the mail. When I get my brand new 16GB, I formatted it (in the phone) then clicked and dragged all my files to that card. The phone functioned the same way as it did when it had the 2 GB card.
I'm running Infused v2 on my rooted Infuse 2.2.
Hope this helps!

Hey guys I ordered a 64gb microsd card for my tab s and when I opened it last night, I accidently crack the sd card in half :crying: Long story short I want to root my tab s asap but my sd card replacement wont come for another 2 weeks so should I wait for it to arrive then root? Or should I just go ahead then when my card comes just transfer everything to the sd card. If someone could give me some insight that would be great.
Doesn't really matter, root gives you a bunch of privileges like running titanium backup but using an SD card or not is a non issue.

What are you trying to do?
Root doesn't need an SD card. (I assume you are using cf-autoroot). You run that using ODIN. (I just ran it tonight but my SD card is installed, and I'm also still running NF9 firmware)
When you get your SD card, mount/format it if it needs it. Copy anything you want to your SD Card. An SD card is just storage.
Is there something I'm am missing that would make it more complicated than that?
