I tried to install the operating system on external sd card by putting on it the backup of the internal memory, patched boot partition with this pase.zip and activate adb with uRamdisk file in uRamdisk_usb_adb_init_1.1_1.1.2.zip , decompressed in the same partition.
This seems to work but I can not install books and I do not see the sd when I connect the player to my computer (linux).
Do you have any idea or know a version already prepared and simply to copy to sd?

This seems to much of a coincidence to not be linked.
I am running my my first build (MIUI) using clockwork recovery and now I cant copy files to the SD card. When in the build I mount the SD card, copy the files accross from PC (a variety of mp3 files and swype). It copies accross fine and shows on my SD card (when looking at from the pc) but when I'm in the device they are not shown (via file explorer) and music player doesnt detect them.
Swype shows as 0MB and says parsing error.
Never had this with then old roms or NAND build.
Is this something to do with partitioning? I have an 8GB card and chose 250mb partition.
Thanks.
Hi,
I have a nexus one with Rom MIUI.
I have a sd card with these partitions:
3.16 GB -> FAT32
488 MB -> EXT 4
61 MB -> SWAP
I would like to migrate the sd card to one that I have of 16GB. What steps should I do to can migrate all.
Many thanks and sorry for my english!
Copy the contents of the card to a computer, partition new card and copy the backups to the appropriate partitions.
I'm going to assume your are running a custom ROM here, if your not, these directions may not work for you.
I actually just did this yesterday myself, so I can give you instructions on how I did it. I use CM7 with Apps2SD, and I'm assuming your MIUI is usind Apps2SD as well.
**With original SD card installed**1. Boot into recovery
2. Make a full backup (SYSTEM+SD-ext). The backup is stored on the SD card.
3. Now hook the phone up to your computer and copy the entire contents of the SD card to a folder on your computer (this can be done while in recovery or while booted into OS, it doesn't matter)
4. Shut down phone and remove original SD card and install new SD card
**With new SD card installed**5. Boot into recovery
6. Partition SD card the same as it was before (most common is SD-ext=1024, Swap=0, rest as USB storage, or whatever it's called)
7. While still in Recovery, mount the SD card as USB storage and hook the phone up to your PC
8. Take the files that you copied from your original SD card and copy them to the root of your new SD card (don't just drag and drop the fold you put the files in, but rather open up the folder and copy the contents of the folder over so that it looks just as it did when you had the original SD card installed)
9. This step can probably be skipped, but I did it anyway out of habit more than anything, but wipe and format SYSTEM, all CACHE options, and SD-ext, and BATTERY.
10. Still in RECOVERY, you'll want to select the option to RESTORE. It'll list all previous restores, just pick the latest one.
11. Once that is done, REBOOT SYSTEM and you should be up and running.
Has anybody succeeded in doing a backup/restore of the WP7 partition from a 2 partition (1 WP7 and 1 android) microSD card? What tools have you tried?
Would DD work? Trueimage? Ghost? Mac Disk Utility?
I want to setup my fresh WP7 partition the way I like it and then image it so I can restore to it if the current microSD starts having problems.
Greatly appreciate any help!
I did this in windows.
- Free up some space in your comp hard drive
- Go to Disk Management and shrink drive. (Free space should be equal to or greater than the SD card size)
- Install easeus partition manager
- Mount the SD card
- Right click on the partition on the SD card and choose copy.
- Choose the free space in the Comp's HDD.
- Repeat for all partitions that has to be copied.
Do the reverse when you want to copy back.
Does the reverse way also work with resizing the partition? On a larger SD card?
Thanks for the response! So the only way to copy would be to another partition? Is there a way to copy to an image file instead? And, have you successfully imaged it back onto the SD card?
I was able to successfully do this using DiskImage - a free download that I found here. I was able to save the entire SDCARD (not a single partition but the entire card) to an image file and then write to back onto another sdcard of the same size. It worked! I haven't tested this thoroughly so don't blame me if it doesn't work for you. If it does - please post here so others can benefit from your experience.
Yes its working...i have doen this 3-4 times...
I did that and i transfered my wp7 partition from a 8gb sd to another 16gb sd card...
Copy the partition to usb hd and then copy back to the new sd...
It works fine....And i have a backup of the partition in my USB sd.
My recomendation is not to mess with your computers hard drive...
Do this with an external usb hd..
Another free tool to use is the MiniTool Partition wizard from here

I used to have CM7 installed on the SD card, but something happened and it became non-bootable.
I now have CM7 running on the Nook's internal memory (emmc), but I'd like to get access to the contents of the "user" partition of the card (the partition that would mount as MyNook Color).
When I plug the Nook in the USB, all I see is the new "MyNook Color" User partition which is on the internal storage, and the "boot" partition of the SD card. I'd like to be able to access the other partitions.
How can I do this?

open up vold.fstab in /system/etc/ and edit the line for sdcard mount from 'auto' to '4'. You need a file explorer with root permissions. eg. Root Explorer

Thank you very much. That worked perfectly.
hello everyone, i am using samsung sm-g900h with marshmallow in it and i have rooted my phone with twrp recovery. The phone is working very fine but i dont know from last 2 weeks i am not able to copy , paste , rename , move or delete any file from my external memory card using Es file explorer . i googled about that and did cmd things and disk management things too to format sd card using laptop but it always show RAW as format not NTFS or FAT32. I then deleted ( unallocated) the SD card and inserted it back on phone and formatted it from there and its showing everything fine... but while copying files from laptop it stops at random file for so many minutes and when i open the folder i see some coding languages files and folders in it like some virus or so...
Is there any solution of it or i have to buy new sdcard ?
Try putting the card into a USB reader in your PC, and use a program called "MiniTool Partition Wizard Free", delete all the partitions on the MicroSD card, create a new Primary partition, then format to FAT32, see if that fixes it for your phone
