Hi guys and girls.
i switched to android a while back now and have been really impressed. so much so that i have just bought myself a new 16gb micro sd card as an upgrade to the stock 2gb i recieved......
.... however now i have a problem. i have managed to copy all the files from my old micro sd card over except for what i imagine is the main one.... the data.img file. without this file i basically have to start all over again, re downloading all my apps, re setting all the settings etc and i lose all my messages and emails.
when i try and copy data.img to my hard drive it doesnt like it it comes up with the error I/O device error (0x8007045D)
googleing this hasnt really helped.
has anyone else had a similar problem? also how did they fix it?
if i cant copy my data.img file are there any other ways around having to redownload my apps and program my files etc?
thanks loads
Have you booted in WinMo to transfer these files? USB Mass Storage in Android isn't 100% functional and stable...
hi there,
yeah tried in android, winmob and using a microsd to sd adaptor in my laptop..
....and other ideas?
did the card you bought come with micro SD to SD adapter? that's what I use to copy files to and from my micro SD to my computer.

Try this.
Try this... Zip the file in the native microSD card then copy the file on the new card and at last but not least unzip the file.
thanks for your replys
masta - ive got one of those too and its the first thing i tried... sadly no luck
stanley - yeah i tried this to no avail it begins to zip it then freaks out half way through..... good idea tho
any other thoughts guys?
Boot back up with your old card, run Android, and back everything up with Titanium Backup. Copy the newly created backup folder over to the root of your new card. It's the long road, but it will get you there. Then let it create the new data image in your new card and redownload Titanium Backup and restore your files.
Good luck.

ive got a sd problem too. i ever used the same 16gb class2 microsd card tu run android builds and store winmo and android data. last night ive tried to switch from darkstone to matcc android build. i reformatted the sd card, put the files on it (only android folder nothing else) and started android. everything was fine but i´ve got a bsod(radio 2.12.50_2 and german stock vodafone rom). then ive tried another android build but i got the same error(doesnt ever got bsod before). later android didn start at all(every build). then ive tried chuckys rom with matcc vers. 1.5 and ive got the bsod problem again. tried 2 other builds and now andriod doesnt start and i cant even connect my hd2 to my pc(bootloader doesnt connect too) but chucky rom boots correctly. everytime ive tried another build i reformatted my sd card to fat32. hope someone can help me, sorry for bad english.
i got this problem now too. android somehow writeprotected my sd card so i can't put files on or take files off anymore...it's basicallly made my 16gb card useless. can't format or anything. tried through windows mobile, pc, and android...nothing works. anybody know how to fix it?
Same thing happened to me. My class 2 16gb card is now locked and ive found no way to unlock it.
Not that I really liked that card anyway, but it was nice to have so much storage space.
thats no problem. On your adapter for your micro sd card, there is a lock on the side of it. Make sure that it is in the up position. Basically in the unlock position, then it wont be write protected.
No, your not understanding. Its not the physical lock on the adaptor, its a logical lock on the Micro SD itself.
The Micro SD card comes up as locked no matter what I use to try and format, or delete etc.
I've googled like mad trying to find a way to fix it even installing Ubuntu to see if another OS could do it, but everything fails.
Same here I came to a conclusion. That there are some files in the SD card....what was the last buid u were using before this happened...the best solution. For this should be with an android. Phone and astro file management explore the SD card...unlucky. me none of my friends have an android device

lemme try that...i formatted it through my computer and unchecked "quick format" and after like 30 minutes it finished with an error.. hopefully this works.
gparted
ok..
whats wrong with just formating the card with ' GPARTED ' .. assumption of Linux usage !
or if you use that sloppy old microsoft O/S then use 'paragon partition manager '
job done yea?

storage tool for wm
Ok
dr_derqami said:
Download " storage tool" for wm. Install it. Send shortcut to start up so that as soon as wm boots it ll find the sd card. When u get storage tool workin u ll have options choose formate or fix the sd then it ll work. It worked for me.

well formatting it through cmd didn't work...everything was still there on the card. lemme try your method now... thanks.
delete file by file and see which one is locked on the card.
change permissions on the sd card.
try to delete files from the winmo
try to overwrite the android folder and start it with another build and then format after a sucessfull start.

yea.. i used mattcleo 1.6b. i can actually still boot up android...but even in android i can't delete anything using astro. I tried replacing android folder using a card reader but that didnt work either... i'm going to try that storage tools suggestion..but i doubt anything will work. CMD finished and said that the disk was unreadable after finishing 99%.
Ok
Sounds like corrupted sectors or damaged disk to me
Put the card into a windows pc and run scandisk on the card, make sure you check : fix errors automatically and scan for bad sectors
I looked at some other threads, but none I've seen tell me if I'm going to need to redo the process w/ cyanogen.
Others were saying to copy and paste the contents of the old card to the other, will the Nandroid backup I have take care of it or do I need to just stick w/ Windows Explorer?
Also, after it's copied, will my Cyanogen still be on the phone (I thought the SD card was just storage)?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Ok, I just got the card delivered and tried it out.
Like I was thinking, it's just storage, so copy the contents of the old card to the new, and you have those same directories...so no problems.

Just make sure you have your pc set to view hidden files/folders or those might be missed.
I have a lot of recoveries, and backups on my current SD card. I am going to replace it soon.
Before I do...Is it safe to assume you just do a huge copy, and paste it on the new SD card, then just insert in phone?
Can someone please provide some guidance?
Thanks a lot for any replies. I did a search as well, but only found for other phones, not sure if our MT4G has any quirks, that would make it different
Shouldn't be a problem. That's what I have been doing for years and nothing has screwed up.

same thing I do. just make backup copies onto your computer and when you get the new card, format it, then put the files on there. easy as that
Thanks guys!
Is it normal when copying/pasting, SD from Desktop to MT4G, that .data, and .img for backups cannot be transferred?
I cannot seem to transfer those two data types into my new SD. All I am copying is old Restores, that I know worked good, but that type of data won't seem to go over
Anyone have this happen? Is it normal? I am worried I don't have recoveries that will work
Confirmed, recoveries do not work, I get MD5 mismatch. How can I copy these back?
I did what was said as copying old SD files to Desktop, but on paste to new SD card, would not transfer some files.

I did this a couple of times ans had no problems you had with those two files. I suggest you reformat the card put the files in there again and upload a new rom. Flash clockwork recovery 3.0.0.6 then try to restore one of those nandroids.
Thanks for checking Lake, I will definitely try that! I hate the fact that I like so many ROMS that I switch back and forth every week. It's like a new phone every week! Minus the creaky buttons, ha!
uh oh, formatted card, now none of my backups will copy the .img or .data files. Oh geez
edit: quick format and format make a difference?
I did a quick, trying normal format now
Hello,
i have 2 problems:
1. I formated my 8 GB card under FAT32 and i copied on Andorid. Then i copied some apps on the card to install them, but when i opened Files explorer in android, the files were not there. Then i opened the card again in windows, and they were there again!!! So they are visible in windows and not visible in android
2. I put back my music on the card, it was ok for 30 mins and after that all the new files on the card ware gone! Only the android folder was there!
What to do?
Anybody can help?
Am i the only one with this problem
From what I remember this has been a problem when using Android to move files to your sdcard, are you using Nand or SD?
After you copy something try rebooting and then it should show up. Way back when before Nand we had to do it this way as for some reason Android will not see the new file until you reboot.
I've restarted the phone several times, but still no files...
Are you using a SD or Nand rom?
SD. All i can see on the card from droid file manager are only the droid files.
Update: After moving the files on the phone while in WM, now i can see them in Android also... for now I will update it if android deletes them or something...

Glad you got it sorted out, yeah mounting your sdcard while running an SD Android rom has never been the most reliable. I would definitely suggest doing it in WinMo from now on to avoid any issues
So ive been I having the problem for a few days. It was all good just a week ago. Then suddenly my music player and the gallery containg my photos were unable to find the media on the sd card. But I can play or view the media by manually looking thru file explorer. When it first started to happen i could power cycle my phone and it would go back normal. Does anyone know how to solve this problem with out either getting a new sd card or reformating. Its been sometime since i installed the android nand and dont have the patients to install it again....
I suspect the SD card, if you have a card reader, remove the sd card (remove the battery first of course) and then copy/past all your stuff from each partition to the computer.
Download EASEUS free version and note the partition types and sizes then delet all partitions format and readd the partitions and their contents
If it was me I would just delete all partitions after saving my important photos/music then reformat.
Task 29 and reinstall the rom, only takes a few minutes, if you have done it once or twice already
Then copy the stuff back
Thanks bruh! I thank ima do that. Or I just found my wife's old memory card. Ill just swap it out she wouldn't know the difference... but definitely going try your way first...
