[Q] changing sd card on rooted wildfire(android)

hello there.I have a rooted(unrevoked) htc wildfire with a 2gb sd card.I want to change the 2gb card with a 8gb one.I have several questions about this:
1)Does unrevoked have anything to do with my sd card,i mean if i change the sd card will i have to root it again or will i somehow brick my wildfire?I dont really know how i rooted it...i just connected my htc with my pc and ran unrevoked...i remember i didnt do anything i just let it that way and after several reboots it was good to go.(is there unrevoked documentation available...for example i need to know what an hboot is...)
2)my 8gb sd card is formatted as FAT32...what types of format does android 2.1 support?and which is the best?
3)and one more dump question...will using a higher capacity sd card make my phone run slower than before...?although i think i already know the answer
thanks in advance

hey rickwyatt,
Thanks for your work. I am have been able to flash the boot image using your steps. I partitioned my sd card using Miniool Partition Wizard and created one FAT and other Ex3 which also formated the card. When I now boot my racer having sd card inside it does not start. It stays on 2nd logo (Three) and keep coming back. It gets started if the sd card is not in the phone. Any idea what could be the cause of this issue?
Also your steps do not mention if the sd card (after partition) needs to be in the phone when applying above steps, so I did it with both ways but no success.
Your help will be really appreciated.

also, somehting to note that after having deleted the partitions and reverting it back to FAT, phone does get started even with the sd card inside.
Do you know if the above steps (flashboot) will write any data on sd card (either FAT or ex3 partition)? coz If not, then it means my phone is still rooted and I can look into some other tools to create the ex3 partition and see if it works.
-----
UPDATE:
After doing some investigation I found that the process required another partition of format "Linux Swap" (for more than 32 mb) along with FAT and Ex3. Doing this allowed the mobile to start with memory card inside and the phone was rooted. BUT I cannot see an aaps2sd application. Also there is no way in Managing Applications that I can move data. Going to try installing Apps2SD separatly now.

did u succeed?

[Q] problem with sd card

Hello,
I have installed Dorimanx-ROM-HIGH-END 3.1.5.1 on htc hd2 using MAGLDR and everything works fine but sd card not mount (e.g. when i open gallary or take a picture).
I tried to reboot phone and format sd card but it didn't help. Any ideas hot to fix it?
Thanks in advance

have you reinstalling the room with everything on the phone erased?

Have you hd2 eu version or tmous version?
If the EU version then you need ext3 or ext4 partition to run the Dorimanx's high end rom..

yes, everything on the phone was erased when i was reinstalling rom
I have ue version but do i need another ext partition if i have lite-version without swap?

No not with the light version.
Be careful to select the correct options when installing!!!
Best thing is to format your sdcard is with pc using SDFormatter v3.1 with format size adjustment on...(this deletes anty ext partitions.)
EDIT: CAN YOU SEE YOUR SDCARD WITH FILE MANAGER OR SUCH?????

Which options should i select? Im newbie so i probably chose the wrong one.
I tried to format my sd with this program and IT WORKS! thank you very much for advice! )

Either, just remember for the full version you need a ext3 or ext4 partition on your SD card and optional swap.
Its all there on dorimanx's from thread. I know there s a lot there but worth the read.
The lite version is easier!!
Good luck

[Q] SD card won't mount - Have I bricked it?

Hi guys.
Almost total noob here - not quite, but still.
I have a Pico/Explorer.
I rooted, flashed CWM 5.05, then a MIUI ROM.. all worked well. Then I wanted to try the new Triumph HD ROM. Initiall install was succesful.
I partitioned my SD card with 1024 ext3 and a swap of 128Mb
Wiped, installed ROM, no problems.
I didn't see that int2ext was supported (by command line, apparently) so I tried installing mount2sd from the play store.
After enabling everything in that app, I rebooted.
Phone became stuck on lock screen.. would not respond to any touches or buttons. But the UI updated when the battery got low, made a noise on low battery etc, and the time was updated.
I booted into recovery to test the buttons, all work fine. I checked my partition log and it said various errors like could not find this or that mount point.
I partitioned again, this time is was extremely slow. I put the SD card into my mac to add the images, but it wasn't found.
Now when I partition it does it really quick - on inspecting the log, it says "err: /dev/block/mmcblk0 does not exist!"
I can't mount the /sdcard or the /sd-ext in recovery.
Have I f!cked my SD card or my device?
Thanks for any help.

Connect your sd-card to pc using card reader if it shows sd-card then ok
If it not show ur sd-card then run minitool partition wizard
And find the sd-card there and format it and delete the sd-ext partition and re-create it using recovery
And never use two memory script at one time
Before using the another memory script remove the previous one

Thanks dude.
When I plug it in with a USB card reader, the SD card doesn't show - in minitool or anywhere else at all.
I think it's dead. Will have to buy a new one.
I will be careful with overclocking in future
Thanks again.

Put your card in the phone and boot into recovery.. Then mounts/storage and try to mount usb storage when connected to pc.. If the mem card shows up in your pc then try putting the card in a non android phone and delete the partitions.. Even my sd card didn't show up in a card reader.. But it showed up when I used a non android phone..

make sure your sd card is usable - connect it to PC and check if it is being read. If yes, then continue. If no, then replace it.
Backup your entire SD card.
Delete all partitions and make one single partition using the Minitool Partition Wizard. Once done, try partitioning with the Recovery. this way you can ensure max compatibility.
And btw, only use swap if you are using Swapper, and only if your ROM supports it. Not all ROM support swapping. I recommend you to set swap to 0, our Pico is capable enough to run flawlessly without swap.
Once done, Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, flash your rom again and after one reboot flash mounts2sd or int2ext. Never use two scripts at a time.

same problem
It happened only with Triumph ROM for me no matter what i do the doesn't mount when i connect via usb tethering to my pc..I had to reboot into recovery for the memory card to show up in the pc..Can any one help me on this?
I never installed any secondary memory script..Just flashed the latest Triumph version after a superwipe....
The memory card never shows up on the pc but only in recovery..

format using minitool partion
format using minitool partion it'll fix sd card errors

Unable to install rom with 64 GB sd card

If you format it to FAT32 you can use it!
