make sure to format your new card while its in your phone, or format it in your computer but make sure its formatted to FAT32. you can just copy the files from your old card to a random folder on your PC, then transfer them back to the new card

Just copy the files rom the card to the computer and then format the new card to FAT32 and copy them back. That's all I've done in the past and it's been fine.

I did all the steps to move apps, cache, data to my sd card for the G1 phone and everything is working good but I want to backup everything on a bigger sd card and I also noticed that even if I use a new partitioned fat32 and ext2 sd card it wont boot, can any one tell me how to backup all my sd card please thank you
Hi,
When I upgraded to a bigger card, I did this:
1-copy current sdcard to computer.
2-backup your apps with astro
3-delete all caches on phone.
4-move apps and caches back to phone.
5-format new sdcard with a ext2 partition.
6-copy sdcard data from computer to new sdcard.
7-transfer apps and caches back to sdcard.
8-reinstall all apps with astro.
You should be good to go.

I have a 2GB sd card and now I want to upgrade to a 8GB how do I backup my 2GB sd card to a 8GB sd card after I did app2sd2.bat, cache2ext2.bat , data2ext2.bat.... what commands or program or adb... what do I need to transfer all my data to a new sd card.... am very new to all this kind of stuff
So im considering upgrading my SD card and going to a 16gig one from an 8gig one. I have Move2SD Enabler and most of my downloaded apps over on the SD card. What would happen if i copied everything from my current SD card and just dropped it onto a brand new 16gig one and inserted that into my phone? Would i not notice anything or would it break all those apps?
any help? Im sure there is a quick answer to this.

Hi,
I have upgraded my SD card by these steps:
- Make the titanium back up and copy all contents of your SDcard to the pc.
- Then change the SDcard for the new one & format it in your phone.
- After formatting, copy the saved contents from the pc back to your new SDcard.

ext2/3 Partition u can access by a linux live-cd like knoppix.
or try totalcommander with the ext2 extension from a win-box.
I'm running MiniCM6 1.0.0 on my Xperia X8 with Apps2SD working. I have moved many apps from the phone to the SD card. The problem is that the card's size is too small for me. I need a 4GB one. I've seen many threads that some guys had problems when changing SD cards.
If I copy all the files in my current SD card and transfer them to the new one, will I have any problems? My apps will still be there, right?

You don't say whether the apps on the SD card are in the FAT32 partition or in the SD-EXT partition.
The FAT32 area can be read and copied using a PC.
Should be able to backup the NAND and EXT in recovery. (My phone is a G1 but I've used CM roms for most of the past year. The backups created in recovery are available on the FAT32.)
Always make a good backup in recovery. When you try the transfer to the larger card, you can always go back if something didn't work quite right..
Sorry but I'm not familiar with these concepts, I'm still a noob
Can't I just copy the files of my old SD card to my PC and then transfer them to the new SD card?
How did the change of SD Card go?

Hi all!
I got a rooted and modded LG GT540 and I use a partitioned 4GB SD card (1 ext2 and 1 main partition).
Now I want to put a new 8GB or 16GB card on my phone. Is there a way to copy all the layout of the old card and build the new in such a way that it will be directly recognized by the phone, so that I dont set again the phone from the beginning?
Please help.
Thanks!
Hi there, just copy paste. If yo have a SD card reader use the computer for the new card and the phone as external disk. Copy your phone's SD card and replaces it with the new one. I recommend to stay with the original brand of the SD card which is often Sandisk.
But wouldn't that just copy data and not the partitions?

And that's exactly why I started this thread. I could just do the obvious and try to copy everything. However I believe there are some issues if you' re about moving to a larger SD. For instance, what about the ext2 partition. Should it be the same size? Should it be the same percentage against main partition?
I have a new SD Card and I think this is the reason for my lost backup files in TWRP. How can I check this or can I check the sd card?
If it's a new SD card how are there backup files on it period, did you transfer the twrp folder to the new SD card?
