NOOB ALERT !
I would like to replace/upgrade my sd-card , from a class 4 8GB to 16G. The current sd is ext4 i think , Rom is EB2.4, kernel is morfic T15 and my recovery is cwm 5.0.2, Whatever is in the current sd i would like to transfer to the new sd-card. I have read other threads about this and some say that you can just copy whats in the old sd and paste to the new sd , some it works and some have experience problem.
Just want to know the best way to do it , Thanks .

Mount sdcard in cwm and transfer any files you want to keep to PC. Enter new 16gb card in g2x copy/paste files from PC to g2x.

Hi I'm having trouble getting my phone to read the sd card. When I put it in it says safe to remove sd but apart from that the phone doesnt even register that the card is in? I have had the sd card in my laptop for a while but formatted it first. I have a friend and its the same for his android but the 2gb he got with his phone works fine. Is there some sort of file structure that has to be on the sd for the phone to pick it up? Really need help thanks.
CM7 BTW

No special structure i would fully format the card as fat 32 not quick format .

Ok thanks for the reply. Also read that formatting in recovery mode could work? That was for a diff phone though with the same problem

I'm wondering if I'm going to switch my rom from an internal based rom (weapon g2x) to an external (eaglesblood 2.3.5), do I need to change my cwm from internal to external support? I just got a new SD card so I'm ready for an external based rom finally. Do I just reflash reocvery for external? Move a folder?

Not necessarily. Just make sure if your recovery uses the internal memory that whatever rom you want to use is saved to the internal memory before you boot into recovery. Same goes for external memory/recovery.
Thanks for the response ... but isn't it true then that rom manager wont work because it'll be looking for it on the external? This was my experience last time, although it may have been because I didn't have an SD card either.

Just noticed this today myself. Glad to see that feature added. This question comes up regularly, almost as much as "how do I root 2.3.3" lol. Now it will be simpler to explain how to flash a zip from clockwork.
Why is it not working right?
I mean - when i open Gallery or anything that needs the SD card, I get an error message, as if I don't have an SD CARD.
Can't install my new Keyboard (it looks for an SD Card). Can't take pictures. All my data is not recognized by this rom (wallpapers, pics I took with my older rom, and so on).
I don't have or ever use an external SD card! But I never had this issue (although it happened with CM7 once as well, but I don't remember how I fixed it(
HELP. Please! I love this ROM and would like to keep it (MIUI)
ANYONE ???
Miui and cm7 rely on external not internal SEARCH around for the swap of sdcard mount points it has been discussed often enough to find easily.

Thanks for your response!!!
I have found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144553&highlight=swap+sdcard+mount+points
1. Althoug I am not sure if I what I am suppose to choose is to make Internal Secondary or to make External Secondary???
2. Also, I have NO IDEA what the poster means when he says this:
"Instructions after flashing!
Create a folder called "_InternalSD" or "_ExternalSD" on the root of your SD Card. Fixed double underscore made it 1 now so its _InternalSD the same goes for _ExternalSD version"
Sorry, I am retarded when it comes to this
you want to make external secondary...
and the root of your sdcard means "not in any folders".
Does anyone still have the file that makes external secondary (for miui) ?
The download link is broken :/
I wanted to use swap over the sd-card partition.And i used MiniTool partition program.I followed something wrongly.I deleted the partition.Now the sdcard wont be recognised either on the PC or the phone.I would really apreciate help because it is a 16 gb sd class 10 card.i payed a lot for it,so i dont want to have 25$ in trash.:crying:
Boot into recovery and use the options there to partition & format your SD card from your phone.
And if you paid $50 for 16GB card, you got ripped off.

Yes, this is the way :good:
Just learned I could partition my SD and restore it through CWM. Thanks to the OP and first reply.
It said that can't mount sdcard.can't read sdcard
Put the SD card in your computer, and use this to format it.

Press thanks if i help you :smile:
1. First find out on which version of Firmware ( i.e KPE or DDLF2)
2. Then Root your Device with Appropriate CF-ROOT from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331253
3. Then Download Alpha3 CM10,gapps from Development Area.
4. Copy them to your Internal SD card incase if your external SD card isnt working.
5. Flash Rom and gapps(without rebooting)- You cant find clear steps in the CM10 thread.
6. Enjoy Jellybean :good:
I've installed the jelly am. Its working great but the only problem is that my external SD card is not being detected. Any suggestions please?

Never try jellybam but i think you have to do clean flash if go from gb to ics/jb and viceversa.or try to remove sd card and reinsert again.
Press thanks if i help you :smile:

Take backup of all data on sdcard.
I guess you have a card reader/adapter , Format the SD card as quick foramt in FAT32 .
Data allocation to be default.
If the above didnt work.
Just format your data card in mobile.
Let me know if it worked out for you :fingers-crossed:
Yeah its works....but my external SD shows up only in astro file manager..but not opening in the default jb file manager and even not in es file explorer. Any further suggestions are most appreciated.

Ooh.i think i know your problem.on ics/gb there is folder called storage but i forgot which one is sd card storage.in storage folder you will se sdcard 0 and sdcard 1.
Press thanks if i help you
Try this software and format your sdcard , It worked for me.
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
Ics/Jb is a little bit different from Gb in storage.
The external sd is NOT inside internal.
Go up the internal sd directory,
If the internal shown as sdcard0, the external is sdcard1.
