Hello all some help from anyone would be appreciated. Ive made a titanium backup on another phone that was rooted to a micro sd card my hox is rooted also and I have titanium backup installed. The issue im facing is that the hox has no micro sd card slot so is there anyway to get the data from the micro sd card from the other phones backup on to the hox so I can restore the information. Also if anyone has a method for this would it also work on another phone say the xperia u another phone with no micro sd slot.
Thanks

There still an "Emulated" SD Card.
Its just not removeable, so copy it to the HOX's SD card as usual.

Install titanium on one x, do a backup... Locate the backup file and then swap it with your bold backup... That way it will deffo be in the right place!

No, you just need to transfer you files to that sdcard. backup folders, ect.
Nope! Not tied to the card at all.
I have a lot of random residual files from who knows where in my SD card, probably leftovers from unclean uninstalls. I just want to know what is the best way of determining which files are safe to delete, and what is the easiest way to delete like all the random junk on your SD card without having to go to rootexplorer and manually doing it yourself.

Well you can backup your main files from sd and then format your sd card

That's what I would do. take off your important files/photos/etc. and then format the SDcard.

I third this option. My G2 came with a bunch of stuff on the SD card so when I rooted my phone I just copied everything on the SD card onto my computer and then formatted it and then let the phone create what it needed. If there was something the phone needed I just copied it from the backup onto the SD card.
Thanks, but how do I know what stuff to include back into the phone?
So, from my understanding:
Step 1: Drag everything from SD card to PC.
Step 2: Titanium backup?
Step 3: Reformat? (And how do I do that?)
Step 4: ? ? ?
Titanium Backup only backs up whats on the phones internal memory, not the SD card. So you can do that if you wish but I don't see how using it has any bearing on cleaning your SD card. If you have a SD card to USB adapter then use that to copy all your stuff off the SD card onto the computer then just format the SD card with your computer. If you don't have the adapter, then plug your phone into your computer and copy everything over. Then reboot into recovery and then format the SD card from there or you can do it from within Android by going to Settings -> Storage -> Erase SD card.

I just want my current apps and contacts to be saved.
I guess my question is, if I wipe out everything on my SD, will my apps still function and will my contacts still be there?

Yes, as long as you back them up. Also you should backup your contacts to google. Its much easier

yes but thats only for nandroid backups
so in order for me to keep my nandroid backup I would need to copy that folder into my newly wiped sd, and as for titanium backup, i should be good to go, cuz they are internal?

You should copy your nandroid backups to your computer before formatting, then copy them back afterwards if you will be needing to restore from them.
As far as Titanium Backup, they're by default backed up to the SDcard also, you should copy these over or sync it up to dropbox (via the app).
Dear All,
Please guys I'd like to Change my 8GB SD to 32 GB SD Class 10 without loss any Data in my Desire HD non rooted.
Waiting for who can help me.
Thanks in advance & Best Regards,
Batreky
Note : My phone too Slow in restarting while loading the android systems and it take like 5 mins or more to use it normally. So please any Help with this as I'm still in Stock and don't like to make and root.
By search Deleted the task killer apps & non used apps & move the most app from Phone to SD card to make a good free space in the phone storage and nothing changed. ?
Waiting for genius Guys.
Thanks in advance
...assuming you're on stock DHD RUU, I would switch off your phone, take out the SD and just literally connect both cards to a PC, then copy all content from one card to another... making sure all hidden files are accounted for as well.
After that, you plug in your new SD into the phone and switch it on...
You technically don't lose data since you've still got the old SD Card you've copied from anyway. ^_^

Hi,
Just connect your device as HDD to your PC and copy all files and folders from the old card to your PC. Then change the cards in the device and copy all files and folders back to the device. That's all

...no problem.. ^_~
As mention before just a copy and paste will do.
If you have some games installed (Gameloft for exemple) they will check for files and just let them do their job as they will imediately look for the content in the new SD.
If you want to make sure your date will be saved you can also use Titanium backup and just backup the data, not the apps!
Then if you miss something later you can import and it will import related to the app

...horses for courses I guess.
I've got two MicroSD to USB adapters, I just plug both in and let it do its business without having to take the extra step of copying from computer to new SD.. ^_^
Having said that, I would recommend you do a full format to fat32 on your new SDCARD... preferably with the linux Gparted tool.
...probably unnecessary, but I personally make it a point to ensure a 'clean slate' whenever I start with a new SDCard, with hopes of avoiding disaster later down the line... >_<

I just bought My Samsung 32GB SD Class 10 From Korea Directly to be sure it's not Fake one lol
Regarding the formating the sd I normally put the empty card on the phone and format via phone to be extra sure it will definitely work 100%. Then just copy as stated on previous posts.
Have a nice time with you new card. I have the same one and I love it. Much faster

The easiest n safest way for me..
1. Backup your old apps using titanium backups
2. Copy titanium backups folder from your old SD card to the new one..
3. Insert your new SD card to your phone, restore it using titanium back up.
4. done.
thnx

Another good method is to create a backup folder on your PC and copy your old sdcard there. Then copy it back to the new card. This has the advantage of giving you a backup in case of failure of the sdcard or the Titanium Backup not restoring properly.
Of course, if you're really OCD like I am, you could do both!

if i backup all my files on the new micro, its will save the apps on it ?
No, it will save the data on it (if present). You will have to reinstall your apps, or restore them using Titanium Backup, as mentioned before. You will need root access for the last one.
someone have "titanuimback" zip for cwm ?
I don't know if there's titanium backup .zip..
why u can't install titanium backup...?
Is your device already rooted..?
yes, but i cant install it, its says that i dont have enough memory.
but i have 90Mb free.
OMG
I just move the apps on SDcard to phone (by link2SD)
and then i tried to install titanuim backup and it worked.
i guess that its installing on SDcard.
bb, thnx for the helpers
I would use my external memory card reader that I use for my Mac and plug it into my eePC and the built in sd card reader. Then all I do is copy the files straight over to my new card no problem. If I didn't have that option then I might make a disk image of my current sd card and have my new card be restored from that image. That way I could be sure that the new card is EXACTLY the same as my old one. I've burned disk images like this so I can install Linux onto a computer and I don't see why it won't work for an sd card.

What are you using on your PC to format your SD? I always use this, and have never had any problems with it. It is free, so you might as well give it a try.

Is there a "Read/Write" switch on the SD Card? Check on the side of the card, maybe it's placed into Read-only which prevents you from formatting/writing to it
That is "IF" it has one that is...

I can't say anything about the RAMDUMP never did that so I don't know what it's supposed to do or what it does to SD Card.
Maybe try to see if you can get it formatted on a Linux system? But even downloading a live disk is still a lot of trouble to go through just to format a card
I thought maybe it could just have been write protection on the adapter that came with the SD Card. The small card itself won't have it but the adapter that you get with the card has the switch.
