[Q] Change new memory card

i want to ask if i change a new memory card , after i format it to fat32 wat should i do next ? my friend done this but the phone still cant detect the sd card .. any solution ?

The phone should detect it after it has been formatted. If it's not detecting it, then something has gone wrong with the card or the phone. I suspect a dodgy card.
Really, all you have to do is this:
Backup your old card
Format your new card
copy the backup onto new card
That's all it should be, unless you're using A2SD or soemthing.

If you have multiple partitions, if you are using A2SD, then you might need something epic like Clonezilla to literally mirror the structure of the old SD card onto the new card. If after a format of FAT32 and the card isn't detected at all, then as the previous post said, the card is probably dud.

i going to buy class 10 8 gb memory card .. does it make the phone load the file faster ? or i juz get class 4 16g better

A2SD transfer the easy way for users
1 - create a nandroid backup of everything (this includes the A2SD ext partition)
2 - backup EVERYTHING from the mem card to your pc!
3 - insert new mem card
4 - run rom manager (download it from the market if you have to!)
5 - partition the new card with rom manager (creating an ext partition as well)
6 - Copy everything from the pc BACK to the NEW card!!!!
7 - Restore the nandroid backup!!!!!!!!!
You now have the phone back to the exact state you started with but with a different memory card installed!

buffer size 8kb
Data size 10mb
Write : 5.27mb

[Q] [Solved] Switching from a 8Gb µSD card to a new 32Gb µSD

Hello all
I ordered a new µSD card on Amazon (28,63€) for my Desire HD, a Transcend Class 10 32 Gb (TS32GUSDHC10), and will receive it tomorrow.
I have freshly reinstalled the CoreDroid 9.4 rom + Link2SD and a lot of apps, my actual µSD card is the 8Gb Samsung provided with the DesireHD.
My Samsung 8Gb µSD card is partitionned like that:
|--FAT32~6,4Gb--|--EXT3(or 4?!)~1Gb--|--Swap-~128Mb--|
What is the correct method to switch to the new µSD card without loosing anything ?
Thanks!

I think two ways are possible. The first - you get your card, put it into a cardreader, make partitions as they were, for example 1GB ext4, swap 128mb and the rest is FAT32. And just copy your stuff from one card to another. (The only problem here is that you need linux to access your ext4 partition). Also you can try to use something like Acronis Disk Director Suite. It can copy partitions (in your case i think it's better to make a backup of partitions and just restore them to 32GB card) and after restoring just change the size to something bigger. Also Titanium Backup can be a way out. Though i don't know how it works with Link2SD. Just don't delete anything from 8GB and if one way doesn't work, you'll be able to try another.

I did this recently, I however put the new card and start with a fresh rom install.
As Slavon-93, you can partition your card first and then copy files from one card to another. To read your ext3/ext4 partition, you can use ext2fsd, ext2read or Linux Reader. I personaly used ext2fsd for a long time without any issue, for both reading/writing.
Make a backup before, image of your partition or whatever and test

hello
i used this way to change between a 16 gb sdcard to 32 gb sdcard, using android revolution hd 7.3 without lost apps or data
0. create a nand backup with clockworkmod recovery or 4ext recovery
1. burn a live cd or use a usb to run ubuntu(the latest version)
2.COPY your data from your fat32 and ext3(4) to the desktop pc (also works on laptop ) in separate folders do not mix fat32 and ext3 data.
3.insert your 32 gb sdcard to the pc and open the program GPARTED
4.format your 32gb in this way (obviously chage the amount of your first partition to 28-30 gb may vary depending on the real size of the 32gb sdcard create your second and third partition like the 8 gb sdcard)
(in gparted program you can look if your second partition is ext3 or ext4 use the correct, the same in 8gb sdcard )
|--FAT32~xx,xGb--|--EXT3(4)~1Gb--|--Swap-~128Mb--|
5.after you format your 32 gb sdcard you NEED TO COPY your data from your pc to your 32 gb sdcard copy the
6.you can easily copy your fat32 data to your sd card but when yo want copy ext3 data you need make the following steps(linux write protects the ext3(4) partitions )
-open the TERMINAL program on ubuntu
-write in terminal:sudo nautilus
-when open a window like file explorer search for mounted ext3 partition on sdcard an do left click
-open properties then permissions and grant root acces and write rights for all the users (otherwise the ext3 partition will only be in read mode)
7.after you copy all the data to your sd card(the fat32 data to your fat32 partition an your ext3 data to your ext3 partition thi will be ready for insert in your android phone
remember NO ERASE your data for your 8gb sdcard until you are safe that this method worked, you can look in link2sd the information of your sd cards partitions and open apks that you are safe that are linked on sdcard
good luck
sorry for my english

Thanks for all advices!
As expected, I received the 32Gb µSD card today
My DHD is now fully working with the new µSD card! That was easy.
I proceeded like that:
On the DHD: Full backup the old 8Gb µSD card! (I used ROM Manager and CWM Recovery)
With an external card reader and PC with Ubuntu: copy both the fat32 and the ext3/4 partition from the old 8Gb µSD card into separate folders of course (for example /home/documents/sddata and /home/documents/sdext)
On the PC: launch gparted as root and create 1 fat32 partition ~29,6Gb + 1 ext4 partition ~1Gb on the new 32Gb µSD card
On the PC: copy the files from the PC to the new µSD into their respective partitions
Boot the DHD and launch Link2SD to check if everything is fine

upgrading SD card that has S2E

I've got an 8GB SD Card which i plan to upgrade to a 32GB installed in my HTC Desire
Only problem is my Desire running CM7 Official is also running Simple2Ext and Ive installled quite a few apps now (well over the Desires own internal space)
Is there an easy way to upgrade my SD Card and copy the Ext partition from my old 8GB card?

- nandroid backup using your current sd card
- partition your new sd card (4ext or gparted)
- copy everything from old sd card to new sd card (you'll only see the FAT32 partitions in windows, just copy everything you can see, as this will include the nandroid backup)
- insert new sd card and nandroid restore (will restore your ext partition as before)
not tried this with s2e, but should work

Yes this method works brilliantly as I used it personally couple of times in past.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA

thanks for that, i'll give it a bash

Some of your data is on the old card especially if you have an sd-ext and swap partition. So:
With the Old Card Still in:
1) Reboot into Recovery
2) Do a full backup (especially if you have an sd-ext partition, clockwordmod or 4EXT can handle this easily for you)
3) Start up USB toggle mode, and copy everything that shows up on your card over to your computer.
4) eject and turn off USB
5) Power off the phone
With the New Card in:
1) Boot into Recovery
2) Format the SD card with the same swap/sd-ext sizes you were using before.
3) Start up USB Toggle
4) Copy back your data from your desktop
5) Do a full wipe (system/data/cache/dalvik)
6) Restore backup from your card (which should also restore sd-ext data as well)
Reboot the phone, you should now have it the same as before with any sd-ext data restored to the new card, and the new larger capacity FAT32 space.
If you do not use swap nor sd-ext partition at all currently, you can simply copy all the files off the old card and onto the new one, just do so with the phone off in case the phone is saving any data to the /android/data/ folder(s), though I'd still recommend using least sd-ext partition with CM7.2

What If I just copy the files to my computer and transfer
it into the new micro SD

Well you could, but I think you'll have the best luck letting the phone format the card first. And only if you're not using a swap or sd-ext partition on your previous card (because if you are then you'll actually need to follow the steps I mentioned).

When I switched cards I just powered off the phone, removed the old card and inserted it into my PC. Copied all the files to my desktop. Inserted my new card to my PC, formatted using SD card Formatter, and copied all my files to the new micro SD. Put the new card in the phone. Done.

and as kbeezie mentioned that will be fine unless you want to restore anything that is on your ext partition. if you dont have one then no worries if you do you computer wont read the ext file extension and those files wont transfer over. you can back up just the ext partition if you want and restore just the ext partition via recovery

You have to partition you 8GB card in the same manner of the smaller one (sd-ext big at least the same or bigger + the same swap) if you want to use it with the old rom. You just have to put your old rom backup on the new sd card, and then from recovery do advanced restore-just sd-ext cause everything else is still on the phone.
If you want to flash a new rom, the only requirement for partitioning of the new card is requirements of the rom developer.

I don't know what recovery you use but I recommend 4ext (go to 4ext.net, download recovery updater app, install it to your phone and from app flash recovery.img).
First copy all you have on your fat32 part of sd card to your PC.
Then do a complete nand backup from recovery.
Copy backup folder (from clockwork/backup folder) and 4ext folder you made to your PC.
Copy 4ext folder from your PC to your new sd card (using card reader on your PC)
Turn off the phone and remove old sd card.
Put the new sd card into phone.
Reboot phone into recovery (power+volume down and then select recovery).
Choose tools then partition sd card and remove all and start from scratch.
Choose size and type of sd-ext I recommend 1gb ext4, skip second ext and choose size for swap if you want qnd rest of the sd card fat 32.
Let 4ext execute everything.
When it's done go to main menu and choose toogle usb storage.
Create folder clockworkmod/backup on you sd card.
Copy your nand backup folder you stored on you pc to that folder.
Choose disconnect to unmount sd card.
Choose backup/restore option.
Choose advanced restore and restore only sd-ext.
Voila, it easier to spend 30min of my time then to search a little and find everything already written.:banghead:
Thanks for your support.
