is there anything that needs to be saved or can i just go on my computer and delete everything on my sd and it will rebuild itsself? Also is there another way to format my sd card?
I would back it up first but it should rebuild the files when you put it back in.
To partition use this.

Selling my original Droid to a friend (I know...hey, he wanted it!) and I wanted to know what would happen if I completely formated and deleted everything (all folders and files) from the SD card. Making it completely blank and then putting back into the phone.
The phone is still rooted and running a custom ROM. He wants me to leave it rooted with the ROM still on there. If I formated the SD, would he loose root and/or the custom ROM?
I'm wanting to format so I can delete any traces that the phone was once mine. If this won't screw-up the Droid, what is the best way to format my SD card?
I'm assuming that if it is blank, any apps that he downloads will create their own folders on the SD card? Would he have to manually create any folders (i.e. Music, Pictures, Videos)?
I would back up the rom, format the SD, copy the back up back to the SD just in case you need to reboot a backup during recovery.
i must be handicapped!
for some reason i can not partition my SD card correctly. i am using clockwork mod recovery 5.0.2.0. i go in partition the SD card for 512mb 0 swap. format the /sd-ext. everything is all good from this point.
my problem is the rest of the SD card is not formatted.
so like a retard i stick the SD card into my windows 7 laptop and format it so i can put the rom on to flash. when i do this i loose the 512mb ext partition it made on the SD card.
what am i doing wrong?
is there a better way to format the remaining space of the SD card without loosing the 512mb ext partition? so i can put the rom on the SD to flash the rom.
Format SD card to fat32 then partition your card in cwm. That's all you have to do

the how to do i get the rom to the SD card? because if i stick the sd card back into windows laptop it wants to format the card again and wrecks the SD partition.
is there another way to push a rom from laptop to the phone by USB?
After you format the SD Card in Recovery, choose mounts and storage. Then choose USB Mount. After that load the backup of the SD Card back onto the card. If you don't have the Rom in your backup, load it then.
oh okay sorry i didn't understand you clearly but i'd do what prboy said
easy
much easier. i have been doing it the hard way all this time.
thanks both of you for the help.
So then you got it sorted out?
I don't think Windows can recognize/format an ext partition as it's a Linux file system. I had to set up my ext partition yesterday and Windows 7 only read the left over space when I mounted it through the phone and a card reader(14gb card read as 13gb). Should be good to format it when you plug it in.

thanks guys for the help.
Glad it's all sorted
Hi guys. It's me, the stupid guy who formated his SD on Marshmallow with the "Internal Storage option" and then changed the rom . I didn't know all the encrypted stuff!... Well, the problem now is that i have a SD card formated with internal sotage option but i haven't the exactly rom with i did the formatting, only an old backup (before SD formatting). When i put on the SD card in the old backup, it says that cant use it, must format all the stuff. So...
Is there any way to access all my SD data? i tried with the old backup, doing a wipe data... nothing works.
PD: Sorry for my ****ty english
Up!
Any ideas?
You tried putting your SD card into a PC? it might read it though but if it doesnt you have to do the formating. All will be wiped but you can still afterwards try Recuva (program for restoring data) and when downloaded put your SD into your PC and then start it. that would be your best bet.
I wiped my phone (Priv) when I sent it off for repair. I was using the SD card as internal storage (Android 6.01). I just got the (same) phone back, set it up, then put the memory card in, and it is telling me I need to format it before I can use it.
When I look at it's contents with a reader in windows, i can see a directory structure, but it won't let me copy any files off it. I am guess this is to do with the encryption.
Is there anything I can do to recover the data on the card? I had assumed when I signed in again with my google account, all would be well again!
I'm getting a new microSD card for my SHIELD Tablet. The card I have inside currently is being used as adoptable storage. I want to transfer everything from that card to a new one I'm getting. Is there a simple way to backup everything and just have it auto reinstall or something like this? I don't want to have manually reinstall everything if I don't have to. Also i am not rooted.
Someone mentioned something about cloning SD cards for a raspberry pi, so would this potentially work for a micro SD card?

if anyone could provide assistance, that would be helpful
I don"t think you can clone adopted sd card. It has two partitions: 1st 16mb(infos, fat32), 2nd rest gb, ext4, encrypted. New sd card has another name & s.n., it will be not recognized.
You can move all apks you can to internal memory, rest of data copy to PC. You can use google backup too.
Set old card as public, eject it and insert new. Set it as adopted and copy data back from PC.
I think you can loose something from the folder /Android.
Without root & twrp backup&restore everything is impossible. @toph the earthbdner
