Hi,
I have bought a new sandisk micro sd card (16GB). Could you please tell me how to install it.
I guess it is not as straight forward as copying the files from the old sd card into the new one, as apps are installed in the old one.. My old sd card is the stock card which I got with the phone.
Also could you please direct me how to upgrade my OS. I am still on android 2.2. I tried following the directions given in the LG homepage but the update software just does no install on my laptop (Windows 7). Also PC suite also does not work properly on Windows 7 and I am not even being able to take backup. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Chan
installing SD card is as easy as copying all folders. don't miss the '.android secure 'folder. that one contains ur apps moved to sd
Download stock rom labeled v20g. use kdz to flash it. u ll find the tutorial in this forum

Hi Souron,
Thanks for the answer. My phone is not rooted and I don't want to do that presently. So simply copying all the files (inlcuding .android) into the new sd card will work?

Hi Guys
Well I successfully rooted and isntalled a new ROM thanks to thehelpful members on this site and the guides.
I have now purchased a 32GB Micro SD to replace the 4GB in the Desire.
My question is, how do I copy the old stuff to the new card? Just copy and paste or are there hidden files etc which will require a clone?
Will all my apps work as before after changing the card?
Hope to hear back from you soon
Fat32 or NTFS?
thanks for the feedback, will try this when I get home.
Wasnt aware of the fake cards on eBay till I bought one and eBay canceled the auction!
I have purchased this from Amazon, class 4 32Gb for £40, hope its a real one.
Thanks again
ok another stupid question.
If windoes cant see the drive, how do I get 4gb of data from my old card to my new card as I cant put them both in my phone at the same time??
So just to clarify
To install a new memory card:-
I need to install Android SDK
I also need Java SDK to run Android SDK
I then need ADB to run commands to access the android
and then something called Cyanogen?
damn windows is so eay compared to this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So now I have to get a new pc or partition this one to dual boot to enable me to run an OS I have never used in my life?
Is this really the only way to copy 2.5gb of files from one card to another?
1. Just do a nandroid + ext backup
2. Copy all files from SD to PC
3. Insert new card
4. Copy all files from PC to new card through recovery
5. Do a nand restore
Done.

Cheers for that, I have checked the nadroid back up docs and it says
"By fully back up, I don’t mean backing up just your address book or your emails, or your dog. I mean EVERYTHING that resides on your phone with the exception of the SD card"
So I can backup everything except my card which is what I wanted to back up in the first place?
Cant seem to find a way to back up the SD card to the PC to install a new SD card and restore from the pc
tried to create partition FAIL
tried to create partion in windows FAIL
tried to load with ROM manager get E: e signature verification failed
So am I to assume my brand new 32gb card is FUBAR?
Im a little confused on how to change SD Cards too.
My partner has a Legend with only 2gig card, will swap this for a 4gig SD Card.
Can I just exchange cards in the phone, format new card in phone and then copy all files from old card to new with my windows PC?
If the mobile creates the file system structure on the SD Card and I copy the files over to it is that fine?
Thanks

Does anyone have the definitive answer on this please?
Even with copy and paste on the new card, you copy 3.6gb to the pc and then 400mb goes back the other way, all folders are EMPTY
Hello!

Thank you
/sdcard
Or you could to mnt/sdcard
The Nexus S doesn't have a removable SD card
Edit: wasn't sure if you're talking about the SD card folder or the actual SD card.

then why do they call it sd card and not internal card? i do realize they dont have a removable sd card but they should just callit i-storage for internal storage.... i say we at xda should come up with a mod to allow an sd card to be installed onto the nexus s series.... and also we should mod it to allow lte as well....

Since we are at it, let's add some wheels and a rocket engine and drive it around.
And it's called SD card cause physically it's an SD card, just not removable.
I was reading the forum on how to roll back to Gingerbread from ICS 4.0.4, and everyone is talk about SD card. got confused because when you say SD CARD usually it means the removable one.
Just recently updated to ICS 4.0.4 on my Google Nexus S, cant find the files folder on my phone and also dont know how can i install and app from my computer and then onto the phone, because lot ppl have posted links for good apps. I've saved them on my computer but how do i get them onto my phone.
Thanks for the previous replies!!

Yeah our Nexus S don't have removable storage (sadface) lol. To install the apks(apps) you have on your computer just connect your phone to the computer, copy your apps from your computer to ANY folder you see in the phone(your phone should be connected to the com.). Now download any file manager from the play store and go to the folder you placed the apk in and click on that apk. It should ask you if you want to install an app now. That's it I think
Again I'm not sure if that's what you're asking for but I think that's what you meant right?

Root means on the SD card. Not in any folder of the SD card. So when you computer reads the card and u double click to enter it, that's the root of ur SD card.
So:
My Computer>Drive name of SD card>Enter it <--- that is the root of ur SD card.

hi my pico was unable to switch it on anymore after i have changed my sd card (my fone is rooted with jaggy cm)
but before that i copied all in all files from the old sd card to the new one and then after i inserted it did not switched on
anymore and i accidentally reformatted the old sd card which is i think the cause of switching failure because i think that
the fone will only recognize the old sd card with installed files and data from the fone and not the copied files with the new sd.
please help me with these i really love my pico can someone help and explain this for in and other users with the same problem.
