I bought a new sd card and I formatted it. Before doing so, I did back up app, data etc
I am trying to reinstall the old backup on a Miui new rom. The problem is I copied all the back up but Miui backup doesn't show it.
How can I do this?

Thanks for your reply.
I used Miui back up. I formatted the sd card and is it possible to copy and paste the date to the new one?
i would assume it is possible providing that the folder names stayed intact and you made sure you had and ext3/4 partition for use on the card

I managed to copy and paste it. Very simple and couldn't see the folders when I installed.

I want to upgrade my sdcard to an 8Gb c4 card (2gb card now)
It won't affect anything if i copy everything over to the new card then shut the phone off and install the new card
just wondering since i'm rooted and there are file on there
let me know if there is anything else i need to do.
that's exactly what I did when I got a new SD card, and I haven't noticed any problems
Once you're rooted its okay to delete the shift folder from your sdcard
Sent from my HTC Knight using MikRom(again)
When I did this, the applications that I had moved to the card didn't show up correctly. You may want to verify everything is there before you erase the old one; if things didn't make it, put the old card back in, move everything to the phone, and then do your swap and move them back to the card.

you dont want to delete the shift folder because it has your wimax backups. just in case you lose all your CWM backups.

sdhc
just bought an 8gig sdhc card tonight and transferred all files from my 2g card. works fine so far.
Bought mine last night too
8gb c4 works great
Thanks for the info guys. Just bought a SD card this morning and wasn't sure if just transferring the files would work. About to transfer now.
I found a similar thread but even that doesnt answer my question..
It has something to do with performance of Android?
Also, after installation (after format) can i copy all the files used by windows back on SD Card? or will it effect the performance ?

You don't need to format your FAT32 partition between builds... At most you would need to delete the "Android" directory before installing a new SD build. For NAND builds, you need to format your /system/, /data/, /cache/, /boot/, before flashing a new build just to make sure that you're flashing on a clean system.
I always do clean install, makes for me any rom less buggy.

Thats what i heard.. but its increasingly painful to reinstall all apps again.. is there an easy way to transfer your install apps b/w 2 builds?
Copy data.img perhaps?

How to do it?? I m using SD version b/w
Hi,
I have question , I installed the a NAND ROM using 4GB SD card but I need more space so I purchased new SD with 8GB space.
How can I transfer the part of ROM installed on the SD from the old one to the newly purchased one without losing any data.
If I were in your shoes, I'd make a full backup of my Current ROM with the old sd in. Then, I'd insert the new card and restore the back up. (of course after making the required partition).

The phone will not hang if you've got the ROM correctly on NAND. Also, try making both partitions primary, and windows on the pc will not be able to read the ext partition.

Why are you removing it while the device is on?
You should do this:
Keep Original SD card in
Boot Phone into CWM and make a back up
After it finishes, Turn off phone, put old sd card in PC, copy recent back up there, remove old and put new sd in pc and copy the back up to it
After making the partition on the new sd, put it (the new card) in your phone and boot up
Go to CWM, and restore your recently made backup
after it's done, reboot phone normally
Also, do not remove the sd-card while the phone is active ..
Because we, eu users, need some system files to be on the card and by removing it the device may become inoperative .

Sorry for late response.
Are you sure you are setting the exact partitions on your sd-card with the same settings?

Did you make a backup of the stock rom? It uses a LOT of storage.

Only do this if you want to delete your nandroid of your stock ROM. If you want to keep that backup, move it to the SD card or your computer first.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

You can always get it as n odin flashable .tar file that will restore almost everything to its original state.

Y ou could download one of the many pre-rooted (de)odexed stock roms here if you want to go back to official..
Or just do a complete wipe (system,data,cache) and install CM 10.1 again.

You mean the twrp folder on your sd storage? You can delete it but it's the place where twrp stores your backups so copy them somewhere save first!
