[Q] How to change my 8GB SD to 32 GB SD Class 10 without loss any Data in DHD

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. ^_^

Thanks geejay008 For that. Testing begin

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

help with SD/internal mem!!

So I don't know what I did but I went to my recovery (TWRP) and accidently did something I do not know what, but now I can not view my pics, files, music from both SD/internal..but when I reboot my phone and check on the computer I see everything there and my storage says it's full. I just can't see it on the phone

I think it would be very useful if you can provide a lot more details and specifics about your situation like
which rom are you using, did it ever work properly if so what was the last thing you have done with the
phone before you started having this issue.
If I were you since you can see your internal and external sdcards on your computer I would first create
two new folders on the computer's desktop, one for internal sd and the other external sd.
Then copy all the files and folders from your internal/external sdcard to the appropriate folders on your desktop.
After doing that check how much space is being used in each of your two new folders on your computer's desktop.
See if there are any really large files which look suspicious to you.
After doing that and if the sdcards are either really full or not really full you will have a better idea of what to do to
trouble shoot the issue you are having with the phone.
It's always a good idea in any case to have a backup of both internal and external sdcards on your computer.
Good luck!

It isn't an ROM issue, but I was on PAC Rom. My problem is I did something in the recovery by mistake and pressed something maybe that formatted my memory?? :crying:
edit: Issue seems to be fixed..

That's one of the reasons I was suggesting that you copy everything from both internal and external
cards to folders on your computers desktop.
So you could see what you really have. If you get a message saying sdcard full or anything like that
it normally would mean that the sdcard has not been formatted, if it was it would be empty and it would
not give an error message saying that it's full.

Sometimes the PC will see the files after its been wiped by the phone. Copy everything to desktop, hope it actually copies everything, format sd card using Android OS, copy everything back, get a Dropbox account.

Find a root file manager.
Go to
Data/media.
That's your internal sd card. Some roms create a virtual sd card (sdcard0 or emulated sdcard0), which is android making a a fake one. All your pictures are still on your phone.
Just copy data/media into the virtual sd card an reboot. Your stuff shall appear again. If you have issues just pm me.

MicroSD card help

Hi everyone,
I have a 64gb sandisk microsd external card, in a att galaxy s3 and it appears to be acting very strange.
i can't add or delete anything from it, i put it in my brothers galaxy s2 to format it (my s3 not having the option(which is strange)) and it let me format it, but when it remounts its at the exact same place, with 42.2gb free storage space, which is what it was at before i formatted it, i did it a few times same thing.
if i manually try to delete things from the card through my phone or computer they either hang or they do delete then upon reboot all the files are back. I hope its not corrupted but it sounds like it is. i've used a few apps like sd tools which runs speed tests, and i get about 130mb write speed a second and 5000mb read speed a second which sounds like it should be able to read and write things but unfortunately it just won't
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take the SD card and use a custom recovery to wipe it clean. That might help

Hmm. You might have to try a double format in TWRP, then when you load up the System use the system's format tool. (i.e. Storage --> Wipe SD Card). If that doesn't work, you might need to find someone with a microsd to USB jig or something of the sort and use a computer to format it.

yeah thanks for the support, tried a number of things in twrp but to no avail. i went out and bought another 64gb microsd card and put it in my phone, works perfectly. but still i'm trying to get the other card working. the new card came with an adapter so i've been trying to format it in my computer. i've used windows format, i do the long one, it gets all the way to the end looks like its complete then says unable to format. and all teh data is still there, i've also tried guiformat by ridgecrop, says success but still all the information is still there.
i don't know if this means the card is corrupt i'd always assumed i'd get corruption error messages.
is there a program i can use to scan the card for errors or corruption?
thanks again dude for the responses any additional help will be very much appreciated still.
again thanks.

solution sorta found
Okay, finally ran out of options and things to search for so broke down and called sandisk techncial suport (didn't think they could help but my mistake)

[Q] External SD Card Read-Only Problem

I tried researching this but wasn't successful finding same exact problem or solution. I'm on 4.4.2 Baseband N900TUVUCNB4 rooted with stock rom and ext sd fix. Everything was working fine until recently. My external SD card has inexplicably become read-only, both on the phone and on my desktop. I first noticed this last week when the phone camera began having problems writing to external SD card, and now I can't sync music to card. I've tried formatting on the phone and desktop, both quick and full but no dice. On the phone, I am able to delete individual files or folders but they reappear. On the PC, I can view but get write protect message when trying to format. Anyone else come across this or have suggestions?

Happened with me once with a different phone/OS. Weird thing is that it was only for a particular SD card. I put a different card and it worked.
It turned out to be a problem with the card (dunno how thats possible though).

What's the brand of your SD card?

I have the exact same problem with my SGNote 2 and SanDisk 64gb micro SD card. First I lost some pics I have taken that day. I searched through with a file rescue tool but they were nowhere to be found. Deleted files reappear, and the ones I copied from internal SD dissappear.

I had same problem. But I fixed this problem by formatting my SD card via PC. It is very bad to me Because I lost my some valuable Docs:crying:

It's a SanDisk 64gb class 10.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Maybe we can share the solution when we find one. I'm using internal memory in the meantime for new media files, but frustrated that I am not able to use the rest of the memory available on my card.

SanDisk works fine for me, maybe your sd card is a faulty one, let's wait for a while here and maybe someone could answer your question and hopefully solve your problem

Thanks, Lorettaa. It seems like that's the only option right now, since I can't find any other info about it on XDA. I know Kit Kat has that design "flaw" where apps can't write to an SD card, but I can't even write to it, modify it or reformat it on a PC. I have full read access to every file, just can't do anything else

I have the exact same problem, i tried many options , used some softwares in windows to format , wipe, fix, modify. nothing works.
One possible reason for this problem is file system errors , which can be rectified using the 'error checking' option in windows and 'fixing the file system errors'
But that doesnt solve my problem, even after formatting using advanced softwares, the sd card is the same - no files deleted, no files added...
The fat as well as ext4 parition is not formattable now in anyway.so the possible conclusion is 'sd card is going to fail'.. Take a backup before you loose the read capability.

Recuva is a good, free tool (from the people that make CCleaner) to deleted recover photos.

And one possible reason for a false error condition is a corrupt system. This is normally an unlikely possibility but it is very likely on devices that have had partition images written to (i.e. a flashed ROM). If you have done all you can to the SD card and if the errors are not only on one SD card then wipe everything and load a backup. If you still get errors then wipe everything and revert to stock to see if they still occur.

Internal mounted SD-Card dissapeared, after flashing Lineage 14.1

Hi XDA,
I'm struggeling with my SD-Card after moving to lineage 14.1 (Coming from CM 13).
Installation worked just fine, but now i can not access my SD-Card from the phone and even not from PC (over the phone). I mounted it as an internal drive on CM to extend my storage.
The System recognizes the Card, but only gives me the options to format the Card and use it as internal storage or format and use it as an external storage.
Could it be, that the Card cannot be used, because it was formated as an internal storage under CM 13?
If anybody has an Idea, how i get access to the files please tell me

In the past while i was having a Moto G3,i got it to Marshmallow,made the SD card Internal like and about a month i got it stolen.But the good point was that i had removed the SD card.
Checked Google nothing useful.
Asked Motorola for any decryption tips,Nothing useful from Motorola.
And i couldn't stay with a encrypted SD card.. I formatted it(after making the "big choice" and it was back to factory stats..)
But the only thing that i didn't do,is that i didn't ask Google for support. Because Motorola makes pure stock Android but with some of Motorola apps and features.
As you was in AOSP based ROM (even if you was to LG's stock,Google could help) go ask Google gently for any solution(if you had important files,then surely they will help)

haha i had the same problem but the solution is very very easy just reboot into your recovery open recovery file manager and delete Android secure folder in your SD card.
thats all you need

Deleting "Android Secure" folder (there is no such a folder even in hidden files) won't do anything.
Also a thing that you should learn.(Because it seems you don't)
When your SD card is formated as internal you can't access it via TWRP a PC or even an other phone.
Because it gets encrypted.
Have a nice day.

Yea, i did not know that. If i had, i would have made an SD Backup
But I still have not formated the SD Card, I am still hoping :fingers-crossed:

It cant be undone. Sorry to say. I learned this the hard way also. When you put it in lineage, you remember it asking about how you wanted to format it (movable or integrated)
You chose integrated mode. That encrypted it and counted it as device storage. No unencrypting it. Also if you blew away that lineage install, its totally not able to be read anymore. It stored the only decrypt key in the lineageOS keystore.
sad times.

Ah yes u right but you can access it as internal. Recvery will ecognise it anyways and you can delete this folder...
Btw this worked for me i had the same problem. And NO there is the folder named "Android secure" definition-- Android.secure is the folder where stock froyo android moves apps to the sd card by default. If you don't use the apps presently, you can safely remove the corresponding app files from the android.secure folder.
