It should work. Just copy every folder and transfer to your new one. Then just put into your phone. It will have all your data.
Sent using my EVO running AZRAL X V 3.1
Make sure if its a windows machine to go into control panel/folder options/ and enable show all files, show protected operating system files.
Then just copy and paste, if not you'll miss a few file types in the xfer
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......
Just copy the files the on the other sdcard just paste it.. Thats easy.. ( u gotta do it on the computer. )

Done this formatted new sd card several times and the files are missing once i put in the evo. Kingston 32gb done on Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Ubuntu all with the same results. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance.

Make sure you've got a FAT32 formatted card.
It is FAT32. i download anything on the evo to card and once i connect it to the pc it gets erased. Bad card i think?

Sd card damaged

I popped my sd card out of my s2 skyrocket and tried to put it in here and it says sd card damaged following another tutorial on xda on how to recover the data on it. It had all my family albums and such on it as well as my music and app data. Has anyone else had a issue with theres? Im using a 32gb class 10 made by patriot. Thanks for the tips if u leave some.

I have a 32 gb sandisk class 10 and never had an issue. Maybe it happened when removing it from old phone didnt unmount properly.

Have you tried to plug the phone in to your PC with the card mounted in the phone to see if it will mount as storage? You can also If you have an adapter microSD to SDcard and a sdcard slot on a PC or know someone who does try and read it from a PC. Have you tried to put it back in the skyrocket and see if you still get the error? GL

If you manage to copy all the files to your PC, try looking at this video. I had a similar issue when I switched from a Razr Maxx running a custom rom to a GS3. Might work for you...

Usb issues on my note gt n7100

First things first, note 2 is awesome. Now to the main issue. I have been trying to use my usb to transfer files both via mtp and mass storage mode (the app used for s3 and several others) but I keep hitting one problem. The phone unmounts my external sd (in the case of mass storage) or disconnects totally from.my pc when.I'm using it in mtp mode. The issue is regardless of the usb connection I use the phone disconnects after roughly.five minutes. Btw I'm doin all this with usb debugging on...besides that, it was d same with both stock and.custom firmware (revolution hd and.note2core asylum.kernel). Any help will be much appreciated.

How is this possible?

My phone has 9gb of internal space, its all being used but the table isn't adding up to 9gbs.. This doesn't make sense. My phone won't even read my external SD card. Its 32gb. I can't format my external SD card. I can't mount it. Idk how to fix the problem. Any suggestions?

Some stuff such as nandroid backups don't show up in that list. Any chance that's taking up a lot of your space?
Try formatting your SD card in Windows if you have a USB adapter or micro to full size adapter and a port on your computer for a full SD. 32GB should be FAT32.

I have a USB adapter that connects to my phone. What do I do after connecting my phone to the computer? Cause every time I connect it. It doesn't bring up my external SD card.. And how do I set it to fat32?
Edit: also how can I delete the backups I have made? Been a while since I've messed with a rooted phone.

When I said USB adapter, I was talking about a microSD to USB adapter. In case the phone is the bad link in the chain, it'd be a good idea to remove the card from the phone and attempt to manipulate it externally. If that is not an option for you, I'll let someone else with ideas chime in on that topic.
For Nandroids: Try something like Nandroid Manager * ROOT

If you have a root explorer or adb you could try pushing it to system/app because your data partition appears full.
You could also try to Odin back to stock.

sd storage

Not rooted. Sd card no longer accepts camera storage. I have 30+ free gb of storage on the card and yesterday it completely stopped storing. Could have been an update im unsure. The setting is defaulted to sd storage but they disappear after reboot. Anyone have this issue or a resolution? Sca

Check on a PC to see if the SD card is corrupted or stuck in read-only. If that is the case, you will need a new card. Had the same issue, bought a new card and that cured that, for now, but still corrupted the pics afterwards. Spoke with sprint and they said it was not a known issue. A few others are having the same issue.

There are many ways to check, when I put in my MicroSD directly into my laptop running Windows 8.1, it said there was a error with the drive and needed to be fixed, I believe windows 7 might do the same thing. You can also format the SD card to see if it works, but if you format it, you lose everything. I would make a backup folder of your SD card contents before hand. However, after taking out the SD card and putting it back in the note 4, the new SD card that I bought stopped corrupting my pictures, so it might just go away over time.

Plug into the computer and it recognized the files fine. I backed everything up and attempted to format the card in the phone. It did nothing. I deleted all of the content on the computer and it reappeared after formatting on the phone. Pretty confused

It's a bad SD card then, SanDisk SD card are known for having this issue. Depending on the manufacturer, there is a warranty. I just got a new card instead since I paid around 27 for a 64GB on amazon. Either way should solve the problem. There are SD card formatter software out there, but when mine had that error, it said it was write-protected. Could also try that, but doubt it will work
