On ur 4gb sdcard have u any partition on it? (ext3/4)
If so u will have to partition ur new sdcard (ext3/4) to the same size r slightly bigger.
Then simply nandroid backup ur phone, copy the backup to ur computer then copy the backup from computer onto ur new sdcard, put sdcard in phone then boot into recovery and full wipe then restore backup and reboot.
Also copy any important things on ur old sdcard to new 1, music, photos etc etc.
Hope that makes sense

I'm inclined to say you may have a bad sector on your computer's harddisk - but this doesn't really explain not being able to create a folder. Were you creating a new folder, or moving (or copying) a folder from your computer?
First, I'd run a disk check on your computer. If that comes up clean, I'd take it to Sprint and ask them to replace your sd card.
I looked on here and it looked like to upgrade to a bigger microsd card, i just had to copy everything onto the new card and i'd be good to go.
Well i tried that and when i put the new card in, a lot of installed programs were missing, including marketplace.
So i put the original card back in, but i have the same problem. Those programs are still missing. I know they were there before because I used the marketplace last night to install an app.
Any ideas what i messed up and how to fix it?
The Market is not stored on the SD card, so upgrading the card would do nothing to it.
Are you sure you formatted the new card first? Are you sure you copied EVERYTHING from the old card to the new one?

i did not format it. I thought android does that automatically when there's a new card inserted? And yes i copied everything, or at least i copied everything that showed up in windows explorer when i plugged the phone in.
I'm going to try restoring a backup from a few days ago to see if that resolves the problem with my missing apps.
I should mention I'm not using the default rom - i have Evio installed. Not sure if that's moved the market to the sd card or not.
nevermind about the missing apps - i tried wiping the cache and dalvik and that fixed it. Now i just need to know what the proper method is for swapping cards. Although maybe the other card will work now that i fixed the missing apps issue.
I think just copying everything to the new card will do it. I did last week and so far my evo is running fine.
Format the new card and it will add the necessary folders then transfer the old stuff to your computer and then to the new card. Had to reinstall angry birds and andro zip but all my save data was still there:>D

I didn't even have to format the card. Just doing a copy was enough. Either android auto-formats the card when it detects a new one, or copying all the files was enough and a format wasn't needed. Apparently the problem i had with the cache was not related to the card. I guess the cache got corrupted some how.
I just bought a 16gb class 10 sd card. Now I am using the one that came with the phone. I thought I can copy and paste the files on the 8gig card to the 16 gig card and should be all set. I copied all files to the new card and the phone doesnt want to boot up. I believe to have a ext on the card that i am using now but I dont know if that matters. If I do have an ext or partition on the card, how can I find out? Any suggestions?? Thanks..
Format the new card, put it in the phone and boot up, then copy everything from the 8 gig
thank you...I will try that..
Let the PHONE format the card. then pull the card and copy only the selected needed files. nothing more. :-D but yeah. a class 10 card IS WHAT SHOULD have been installed in our phones. our phone doesn't support the max speed. but it is truely faster even when connected to the USB port. I tested before and after and did see a difference in speed. But for the normal use, it won't help. lol
its worked....Thank you
"...then pull the card and copy only the selected needed files. nothing more."
Could you (or anyone knowledgeable) elaborate on what the "needed files" are, please? I'm asking because my SD card just recently crapped out on me. Entirely. Crapped. Out. I couldn't even get my pc to pick it up w/ an adapter. However, the good news is that I recently did a nandroid backup and had copied it, along with all of my pics and vids to my PC.
So, I now have a brand new SD card and a folder on my PC that contains my recent nandroid, a bunch of pics, and some vids, but nothing else. I never bothered moving all of the other files to my PC. In hindsight, I guess I was prepared for a flashing fail, but not for an SD card fail
My question is this: What additional files do I need to move to my sd card to keep operating smoothly, including future rom-flashing and nandroid backups?
Do I need to add a recovery file (Amon RA or CWM) manually? Or can I just re-download CWM from the market and flash alternate recovery? What other important files am I forgetting?
Thanks.
got a big problem here...............
installed ARHD 6.1.1.....but got struck on set up...pulled out battery....

Put your sdcard into pc and scan for errors. Fix. If not, try FULL format fat32 default allocation.
Edit: don't forget to backup important contents to pc first

I have a PNY a 64gb class 10 had this card since the phone came out,
I noticed that you could update to marshmallow by LG Bridge, so i did so, everything went smooth, however i noticed everything used to be saved on my sd card then was saved to my phone and its not reading my sd card at all.
Ive formatted the sd card through my phone by storage-sd card-settings-format- while im doing this at 20% it will say sd card is ejected but then proceeds and says its been formatted correctly.
However the phone will read the sd card only in SETTINGS-STORAGE, it will read the files on the sd card, how ever if i try and play music/movies it will not read it through my apps like mx player/poweramp.
Apps like app manger 3 - which i use to transfer apps to sd card will not read my sd card at all.
Ive tried and formatted the sd card through my phone only around 5 times and still the same problem.
any help

i dont have marshmallow on my g4 yet .....but as you describe it , it sounds like premission problem...
so have you tried to play with the presmission new thing at marshmallow or tried factory reset after formating the sd?

i havent tried anything with permission- i dont know even how.
ive tried to factory reset the phone and the same problem occurs, when i did the factory reset, it automatically reloaded marshmallow and not lollipop/kitkat

i would check the permission thing just to make sure.. here is a how guide for that
i dont know what you can do more than that,you could maybe try to check another microsd to check if it didnt ruined the file system on it or(or simply if the sd you have is broken) or to if it is really a OS issue...
but as it seems for now a lot of people having problem with the sd part of marshmallow...

ive tried to do permissions but it wont allow to change to sd card,
Ive reloaded phone and before it comes onto my home screen says mount my sd card, ive gone into storage - sd card- mount, restarted phone but again the same issue.
When im in camera mode the phone allows me to select where my photos will be saved (onto sd card), i can go into settings_sd card and read everything onto sd card, however its just moving apps onto sd card it will not allow.
Ive read online saying marshmallow may only allow apps to be saved on internal memory now due to previous versions off OS- was a problem with viruses being attached on apps which were saved onto sd card- was the main problem. Could it be this?, marshmallow doesn't allow this.
Use TWRP to format, that was the only solution to get my 128 GB sd card working after update again. The integrated format function always tell me success while notification said card damaged. After formatting with TWRP everything worked again
Edit: Are you sure you flashed correct patched kernel as this can disable vfat reading? Look here in forums, there is a thread about different version names for different countries (e.g. German V20a is polish version V20b)
