Back everything from the sd to a folder on your computer. I prefer using an sd adapter to plug the card directly into the pc. Transfers will be faster that way. Format the card in the pc. It needs to be formatted as fat32. I would use a cluster size of 32k. Copy any needed files back to the card and pop it back in the phone. Done.

Google the program SyncBack Free. Its excellent at moving large directories and files.
Easiest way.
Connect to computer, copy everything off sd card, copy everything to new sd. easy as.
Yep, connect to a pc, copy all from old SD card to pc, then from pc to new SD card. Worked for me all the time.
I use simple backup to keep a regular backup of my SD Card by mounting USB to my ubuntu box, so install your new card in the DHD then restore Simple backup
I have a MyTouch 4G rooted, with Ice Glacier 1.1.6 and I was trying to remove some files from my SD card and when i eject my phone, all the files i deleted appeared back onto the sd card. I tried everything to fix this problem. When i tried to format the card using a card reader, i get an error saying format wasnt able to be complete. i tried error checking as well. i am not able to add files to the sd card too. does anybody know what is going on??
thanks!
Try formatting it thru the phone.
Settings -> Storage -> Format SD Cards
just tried that, did not work. after i click format, the sd card would get mounted again and everything is still on the sd card..
this is what i have noticed, i can delete files using astro and it will stay off until i unmount it and mount it again. thats when the files appear back on the sd card.
Hmm... can you open the files on your PC?
yeah i can open files on my PC. this is weird. when i take pics, itll save onto the sd card but will be gone when i unmount or connect my phone to the computer so i can see the files on the sd card
I've heard of this once before. Solution was to put the sd card into an adapter and format with a camera.
format with a camera? meaning to plug this sd card in a digital camera and plug the camera into the pc then format?
No, format through the cameras menu options.
whenever i tried to turn on my camera with this messed up sd card in there, the camera doesnt even want to boot up....any other suggestions??
Sorry, thats all I got.
Sounds like a bad disk. Run a CHKDSK /f from your pc.

chkdsk didnt work. at the end of the process, it says "disk error occurred during the writing of the file allocation" ??
It appears you need to go shopping. However, the SD card should be replaceable under warranty, unless our warranties specifically exclude the card. Call your local T-Mobile dealer and see if they'll replace it.
Yeah I think its time for a larger memory card anyway. So all I have to do is copy everything from my old memory card onto the new one that I will get then stick it in my phone right?

I created some partitions for the Spartacus Kernel awhile back. I'd like to remove them now. I've Odined back to a stock ROM but they are still there.
Not sure but maybe backup everything you want from your sd card to your computer and then format your sd card.

I tried formatting the SD card and that did not work. Thank you though.
Any other ideas?
Any help please?
There is free partition manager software available online that you can download to your PC to manage any partitions on your SD card (and PC hard drive as an added bonus).

Hi
I recently got a SD card with a higher capacity than my current one and am looking to migrate whatever software android uses with my existing card. So far I've installed most on the phone memory but some like Aldiko reader have some components on the SD card and the program crashed when I switched cards.
How can I ID and migrate the essential files to the new card? Or will I have to reinstall all the apps with the new card? I don't have very many apps installed.
Thanks
Put original SD card in phone, plug phone into computer usind the USB, select disk drive. Then open up the mass storage device and select all, then copy to a temporary folder on your PC. Eject the mass storage device from PC
Now insert new SD into phone, go to menu, settings, SD and storage. From here unmount SD and then erase/format SD. When complete mount SD card. Then connection to PC and copy everything back to your new SD card.
Hope this helps

Is there a way to copy sd card files to a new sd card? I got a new larger SD card and can't copy all files to it. TB, TWRP and some other files will not copy. I hate to start completely anew because there are some backups that I would like to retain. It's probably a Windows issue. Would a bit copier accomplish the task? Any advice would be appreciated.
if you have enough internal memory you can copy them to the phone using something like ES file explorer on the play store and then copy them back to the new memory card, or if you have one of those inexpensive dongle memory card adapters you can copy them to your computer then copy them back to the card.
Plug your phone into your computer and switch the usb mode so it shows up as a drive. Copy sd card to computer. Swap sd cards in phone. Format sd card through phone. Copy the backup off the computer to new sd card

otg cable + memory card reader is also a great option. everyone should invest 5$ in a good otg cable
