Once I did this but I can't remember how. I want to take my mini sd and put it in my phone then boot to bootloader and have it copy the os / rom / dump to the sd card. Then I can use the bootloader to recover from the SD card.
How do I do this?

After trying multiple SD ROMs from the development, I have so many files and folders in the SD card. I'm trying to format my SD card but I want to backup all the original folders from WinMo. Does anyone has the original WinMo SD card so you can tell me which folders I need to backup before I reformat the card?
Thanks!!
Everything will be recreated by the phone so don't worry. Anything you need to run the phone is in phone memory, not the SD card.
Hi,
I have a nexus one with Rom MIUI.
I have a sd card with these partitions:
3.16 GB -> FAT32
488 MB -> EXT 4
61 MB -> SWAP
I would like to migrate the sd card to one that I have of 16GB. What steps should I do to can migrate all.
Many thanks and sorry for my english!
Copy the contents of the card to a computer, partition new card and copy the backups to the appropriate partitions.
I'm going to assume your are running a custom ROM here, if your not, these directions may not work for you.
I actually just did this yesterday myself, so I can give you instructions on how I did it. I use CM7 with Apps2SD, and I'm assuming your MIUI is usind Apps2SD as well.
**With original SD card installed**1. Boot into recovery
2. Make a full backup (SYSTEM+SD-ext). The backup is stored on the SD card.
3. Now hook the phone up to your computer and copy the entire contents of the SD card to a folder on your computer (this can be done while in recovery or while booted into OS, it doesn't matter)
4. Shut down phone and remove original SD card and install new SD card
**With new SD card installed**5. Boot into recovery
6. Partition SD card the same as it was before (most common is SD-ext=1024, Swap=0, rest as USB storage, or whatever it's called)
7. While still in Recovery, mount the SD card as USB storage and hook the phone up to your PC
8. Take the files that you copied from your original SD card and copy them to the root of your new SD card (don't just drag and drop the fold you put the files in, but rather open up the folder and copy the contents of the folder over so that it looks just as it did when you had the original SD card installed)
9. This step can probably be skipped, but I did it anyway out of habit more than anything, but wipe and format SYSTEM, all CACHE options, and SD-ext, and BATTERY.
10. Still in RECOVERY, you'll want to select the option to RESTORE. It'll list all previous restores, just pick the latest one.
11. Once that is done, REBOOT SYSTEM and you should be up and running.
Hey kids. I've just flashed to CM7 and i figure now is as good a time as any to FINALLY partition my SD card and use it like i should. Problem is, i've been moving apps to the SD card for months. No doubt there are remnants of app installations from prior ROMS. How do i go about cleaning out the dead weight before i backup the card and partition it?
You can backup your SD Card the reformat it with Windows in a card reader, put it back and partition it, boot up and the required files will write themselves, then move the stuff you KNOW you need back to the SD Card. Flash a new ROM or A2SD and you should be set
I flashed my mobile a few days ago. But after flashing stock rom My memory card isnt mounting in stock recovery. Help me plz.
copy all sd card contents to pc
If you have any 2nd partitions delete them first using mini tool - if not move onto next steps
boot phone normally
goto
settings
storage
unmount sd card
format/erase sd card
your card should now be mountable in recovery (you can then create a 2nd partition in cwm if you want - note this will format sd card again)
you can then copy everything back to sd card
