I have searched and wasn't able to find my answer, can someone answer my question? I was wondering when I get my new 32gb sd card how do i setup the card to run on my phone? I am currently rooted running CM6. Do i just copy the files from one card to the new one?

that should work fine

First, backup everything from existing card. then format new card thru pc. then install card to phone and reformat on the phone itself and reboot. once that's done, transfer back all your files to new card. all will be good. Android need to format cards thru their OS. when you reboot you'll see folders on your new card that got installed from the format and reboot of OS.

[Q] flashed wm7 to phone instead of sd how to fix

i have an hd2 and flashed wm7 to the device instead​of sd card. how do i fix this all help is very appreciated thanks

Are you serious -.-? Windows PHONE 7 can only be installed on the phone (NAND)!!!

am i right in thinking you installed WP7 to the device and your SD card isnt in use?
assumeing you had the SD card plugged in when you installed it then i am affraid your SD card isnt compatible,you will need to try another card, try stick to class 2 or 4 sd cards, unfortunately there isnt a list of working cards because every card is different and may or may not work
if you didnt have the SD card in then thats why the SD card isnt used, it needs to be present when you flash it
finally, if i have got this mixed up and you want to install to only the SD card and not the phone itsself then im sorry but it cant be done yet/ if at all

its true forgot to put in the sd card all together and it flashed to device... it works but no space for anything to save. dont know what to do at the moment. flashed magldr and then ppcboy wm7 like i said works reallly well just cant save anything and access the sd

If you do a hard reset with sd card in the phone should be all set. Wouldn't have to reflash anything. Just make sure sd card is in phone then go to settings,about, and click on reset phone. Should format on first boot and everything should be all set.
Answers my question I've been looking for. If I can flash my other hd2 that the sd card socket is broken with wp7. Already running it on the one I use all the time.

[Q] NO external SD

Hey at all,
i installed CM7RC at the weekend on my SGS.
So, after some hours of checking and configuring the OS and i´m enthused.
But i have found one problem.
When i insert my external SD card the system don´t response of it.
In "settings -> memory (its my translation - i don´t now the used english words) i can find the internal memory, sd card and additional or external sd card.
the internal has 1.87GB, the sd 5,78GB.
When i have insert the external sd card the systems write not available and plz insert sd card .... .
Do anyone know this problem? I tried a 16GB and 8GB sd card. both are full functionally under the original OS.
at experts: can anyone tell me the device which will be mount?
so i thought about a manually mount to test or to use until a fix is available.
thx.

If you flashed CM7 from gingerbread then your external sd wont work... that is a known problem.
If you flashed from froyo then your external sd card will be in mnt/emmc

I guess you have gingerbread bootloaders on you phone. Revert to stock froyo rom,and then install CM7 nightly from there,im sure it will solve the problem.

I found the Prob. It was the bootloader. After flashing the froyo bootloader i Gott full access
to my edternal sd card.

Partioning 8gb SD card, and running GDX v010

Sorry, but another basic question which I've searched for the answer but can't find an answer that makes sense to me.
I have an x8 running on Gingerdx v010. Runs great.
I have just been given a 8gb Micro SD Card, Class 10.
What's the best way to go about swapping the stock sd card with this new one - do i just copy and paste all off the old sd card onto my desktop, and then copy all that back to the new sd card?
Or do I need to partition the card in any special way?
I'm a beginner at this, so please don't get too technical!
I'd like to put some music on the new card, and I reckon i've got a few GB of albums etc to put on it. also, will probably try to put as much as possible on it to make sure there's plenty of available RAM in the internal memory.
Thanks in anticipation of your help.
This is a really useful site - glad I found it.

bump... anyone?

Backup copy/move all the files in old sdcard to PC. Insert your new sdcard and boot, enter CWM>advanced option>partition sdcard>select 512mb>then zero swap. reboot. Then copy/move ur files to new sdcard You can also partition using windows You just need partition if you are installing many apps like me

Partitioning is not required, just copy data over from old card to new card.
