I have a silly question about partitioning my sd card.
After i back it all up and then partition it, can i put everything i backed up back on the card, and if so where do i put it at?
I have a EVO 4g if that matters with a 8 gig card.

Yes but when u transfer everything back to sd card make sure u open partition folder all select all files and then transfer cuz if u drag partition folder to sd card youll just have one folder called partition instead of all your files

When you do full stock RUU , the sd card dont have nothing to do , just Internally. But you can format the sd card and put the factory SD folder i prepared and zip in here: http://www.mediafire.com/?6vm3l1d47kx2vs8 Decompress the file and open it and throw all the folders inside in you SD card after format. You SD card will show up as factory
Enjoy it!!

What are you talking about????? The OP clearly asked if anybody had the original files from the stock SD card, thats what he was giving him, a way to return his card to stock. Of course he doesn't HAVE to do that to his SD card but for whatever reason he WANTS to.

I was new once also and have asked some DUMB questions so ill follow his comment wish a reason. Root does not store on your SD card its all internal memory files. Only hand SD had in the root was flashing zip files from the card in the internal memory
I appreciate you being helpful and nice about it I no I'm a noob just didn't want to mess my phone up and after thinking about it I just pulled it and everything was fine.

I actually have a question regarding this.
I want to upgrade to a 16gb sd card and was wondering if there is a thread showing step by step instructions to do so.
I'm rooted and have a couple roms backed up along with titanium backing up my apps.
Do I really have to format the new sd card to fat 32? the 2gb sd card that came with it seems to work fine which I believe isn't formatted fat 32.
Is it really as easy as copying and pasting over??? I did not partition the sd card.
Also, after searching the forums I ran into a concerning thread regarding sd cards that DON'T work.... should I be worried?

If you want to transfer your files from the 2gb sd card to the 32 gb sd card just copy all files to the 32 gb sd card. Be sure to format the 32 gb sd to FAT32. I dont know how you didnt have to format your other card to fat32 unless you havent turned s-off. But anyways to format it to fat32 just plug in phone to computer( make sure you put phone on disk drive not charge only) and open "My computer"(shows all your drives ex. C:, D:, ect.) Right click on the drive that is your sd card and choose format. Make sure its in FAT32 and click format. You can do quick format too. Hope this helps

Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking it was a lot harder than just copying over the files.
I have S-Off and I am pretty sure it's not formatted FAT32. I just checked the properties and it just says "FAT" and if I go to format it the selection at default shows "FAT" as well. But if standard procedure is to format to FAT32 I will on my next sd card.

After I applied unrevoked forever (Shows S-off now) I put the zip in the root of my sd card, and then rebooted into the HBOOT screen. As far as im aware its supposed to ask me if I want to update but it doesn't. Instead it says "No Image!"

Ok here come the storm of questions :S
How do I check which format its in?
If its not fat32 how do I format it to fat32 (Im gonna guess mount as disk drive then right click>format, on my computer)
And Won't i lose everything on my sd card if i format?
yes, you will mount it as a disk drive and the right click on your SD card and it will say if it is FAT32 or not.
If it is not Fat32, the copy all of your personal data off of the SD card onto your computer. Then you will right click on the SD card again and click "Format..." You will choose FAT32 and then click format, it won't take long. Then move all you personal data back onto you SD card.
Make sure the radio image is named PB31IMG.ZIP. Boot into HBOOT and it will automatically recognize the file and it will ask you to update the radio and probably recovery as well.
Hope this helps!

thx fixed my issue
Hello all, I have a 16 GB sd card (actual 14.83GB) and under Settings - SD card and Phone Storage it says that i have 7.04 GB available...basically half...
The problem is that I have nothing THAT BIG!! I copied the SD card over to my computer and it's only 852 MB...What the hell is going on?
Has anyone had this problem? or does anyone have any ideas as to how to figure out what is taking up so much space?
Help is appreciated, thank you.
Do you apps2sd or apps2ext? Also, by chance is there a folder called: LOST.DIR? Lastly, if you take the card OUT of the evo, put it into an adapter, and check free spaces on your PC what does it say? << Perhaps there's some hidden folders your PC cannot see when you just directly copy the files to your PC.
if you have downloaded a rom or somthing to it, plus music eats memory up badly, i suggest reformatting sd card.
go to settings>sd card & phone storage> unmount sd card> format
make sure you get the files you need off of it. akaics, videos, contacts, apps;etc.
If i helped,hit the thanks button!

Sounds like your card is partitioned.. move your cards over to the computer
Go into recovery
Run partition SD card
Set swap to 0mb
Partition 1 (or whatever its called: main partition ) to full amount of SD card and nothing for ext partition
Hope this was helpful!

im running bootmanager on my 8gb sd card and its full can i transfer all the data i have onto my 16gb sd card? will the roms still work? and what about the apps i have backed up with titanium backup will they all be safe?
Yes. Best to MD5 before and after to make sure it copies correctly.

you think all the dada will be good?
I've copied between SD cards in the past without a problem. I just attached the phone to my Windows PC in Disk Drive mode, copied all the files to the PC, swapped SDs and swapped back. Save the 8GB card and don't wipe it until you're sure everything copied over fine.
As long as you haven't created an ext partition, you shouldn't have any problems copying from sd to sd.

And what if you did copy files over from a SD card with a ext3 partition to your PC? Can you elaborate a little more?
I've had put a blank card in phone 1st let it format it with the nessesary file structure and then over wright with the contents of old card.

From my understanding, when you partition your SD card, you essentially split your memory card's capacity by the size of the ext partition. So when you mount your sd card for the purpose of backing up your memory card, you're only backing up the disk drive portion. You'll need to use ROOT EXPLORER or a file manager app that can access your phone's sd-ext folder.
On second thought, you should just do a NANDROID and be sure to include your sd-ext partition. Then boot into recovery. Create a new sd-ext partition (same size as the previous one) and copy the NANDROID folder over to your new SD card along with the disk drive backup.
Then restore your nand.
