SD card content - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do I need an SD card in there? Reason asking is my new MT4G doesn't come with one and I'll be putting my new one in there and I was wondering if I needed anything from the original card?
If I do, can anyone point me to where I can obtain the original files on the SD card or should I just go to t-Mobile and copy theirs?

It should have came packaged with an 8gb

someone has posted it here somewhere... if not I made a copy of mine before formatting it just in case pm me and I can upload it for you... but the only stuff you NEED it for is the packaged crap (rockband... bleh) and twonky media server stuff...
personally I don't use anything off it... just thought it would be a good idea to copy it just in case I wanted something off it

Upgrading MicroSD on rooted G1?

I know this might have been posted and probably has but i simply am not getting it to pull up on the search function. I am upgrading my root G1's Micro Sd from a 2gb to a 8gb or possibly 16gb as I tend to want to keep a lot of music on it. If I upgrade the SD do i simply partition it to Fat32 and then copy my files over or does something else need to be done? I simply do not want to screw all my stuff up b/c i am not thinking about some aspect.
Thanks in advance for any and all help as i am just trying to be safe. Do not want to screw up my root/phone or anything with something like this.
Have you done the apps to sdcard? If not then yeah you can just copy the contents of the old card over to the new one and use it.
No i have not done Apps2SD yet as it was unneeded as of so far. I have also wondered about the safety of such. If the phone were on and the SD card were to come out i would imagine some damage could be done. Once i get the bigger SD then i might do it.

New Micro SD CARD- Transfer

Hi Guys, just bought meself a new 16gb micro sd card.
How can I transfer or make an image of the old card to the new one? I have many installed applications on my old card, I don't want to go through the daunting process of having to reinstall every single application.
Any help would be appreciated.
Copy the contents of the old card to your computer, then write them back to the new card.
Everything should work just the way it did before.
as above, just copy everything to the new card, , , just make sure you have hidden and system files visible before you copy/paste them.

Although you can transfer an image from one card to another its really not recommended for the stable running of the device especially after a ROM flash.

Moving your stuff from one card to another has absolutely no influence on how the device runs. Unless the new card is defective, of course
Thanks guys, am abroad at the moment. The moment I get home, I'll try as you suggested.
Thanks again

That's just wrong!
You may get away with it but all settings and associations will be for the previous ROM and could be totally inappropriate!
WTF, we are on about moving stuff from one card to another.
Nothing to do with ROMs!
Your storage card is only for storage - ie it does not matter if you copy your files from (lets say) a smaller SD to a bigger one.
possible complications: having programs installed on the sd card.... here you could get error messages when you take the card out for the copy process. Nevermind them though as you take the card out, do your copying and then shove the new card back in....
after that just do a safety reboot and you should be fine

Then you obviously didn't read what the thread was about.. The guy just has a new card and wants to copy the contents of the old one to it. Nothing about ROMs, settings etc...
Put my old card into the comp, copied everything, pasted into a folder on the desktop then dropped it all onto my new card, put it back in the phone, turned it on and everything works fine

The OP mentioned installed apps on a mem card and excuse me but that DOES have something to do with ROMs.
Now you are wrong!
And before this goes any further you all believe what you want and do what you want because there's none so blind as those who will not see.
I shall not be posting further after those sort of comments, hollinshea!

No! A storage card is just that, a disk with a filesystem and files on it. If you copy the same files onto another card, there's no way the system can even see anything has changed, apps or no apps. It's not about deleting/adding stuff, just having exactly the same data.
We don't "believe" anything - it's just how it is.

Can you please share how this was deleted? i.e. via pc trash, via formatting the SD card, etc.

I googled "restore deleted data SD Card" and this link seems like a good start. hopefully you haven't added any files to your card.
Best of luck restoring your data

It was formatting the sd card. Yes I know stupid me. I am new to this so thought it was an option to basically clean up the sd card but didn't know that the contents in there are the onboard bonuses,,,lol.
Man hope someone know something.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Return the card to tmo. Tell them you didn't do anything to it, it came out of the box "naked". Try to look innocent while doing this.

someone might upload the original sd cards contents soon, if you can hold out.
Yeah there you go,,,,can anyone please upload the sd files??? Thats exactly what I need and SOLUTIONS?
Anyone please upload?
Sandisk has a recovery utility with their Extreme III cards perhaps you can find it online and recover the data.
If you have not put anything onto the disk it should still there just coded as available on the card so it can be overwritten.
Although if someone can upload it all for you that would be nice. The movie will take some time and bandwidth though.
I dont get mine till tomorrow ;(
I will certainly check this out. But Please anyone can upload files?

Man, the original contents are upwards of 3GB... might be a while till you see them get uploaded. That said, I archived mine before I nuked most of the crap. If I get some time at work tomorrow, I'll try to help a fellow HD2 owner out
Is there anyway to upload that say to rapidshare or megauploads tonight? Man just wish i can really check out this HD2 tonight. I would really appreciate that.

its not a quick thing to upload. thats like 5hours or so, and you just asked not too long ago. i might be able to upload this tomorrow if im not tied up with runs after work
What is the quickest ways for that btw?
i managed to recover the files can anyone help me what goes where? there is a bunch of mp4 files which i think is the movie please help?
can anybody help me where the files go?? I manage to recover it but don't know where do it need to go,,,do I have to create a directory for movies? Anything like that?
I have a ftp server you can upload to, if you have the files. I need em also :-/
like i say I have no problem in doing that. But you don't want the files if they are not complete,,right? (just in case). So once I can put them in the sd card and everything works then BAM now you know it work 100% and I can even guide you too. So help me locate someone who can help me step by step to put them back in the SD card,,,cuz i don't think it will just work if I put it anywhere in the card right?
Anyone Willing to upload the original SD card contents?
I have a fast FTP we can use.... 50meg up and down we can use.... I formated my card and there is no chance for recovery. PM me if anyone is willing to upload.... THANKS!

[Q] Changing from One SD Card to Another (with custom ROM)

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.

Format SD Card?

there are tons of apps on my SD card from installs that still sitting there... dont really want to go through the whole card to find it and delete..
so i used clockwork to format the SD card... i noticed the it doesn replace back the stock files that came shipped with the phone..

eh. it depends on your way of looking at it. The only thing on their you may need is the driver for the phone. but that can be downloaded via HTC's WebSite.
