Connect ur fone to pc and move .android_secure to the other sd card and also other folders if u want then insert the card back in the fone. And it will be better if u turn off the fone while changing sd card.
Hope this helps.

Hey i just got my new micro sd card whats the best way to backup everything on my old one and restore it to the new one? do i just copy paste everything? or do i have to format it in a specific way?
copy everything from the old card to a folder on your computer. Put the new card in the phone, format it from the phone, then transfer everything back.
thanks for the answer.!!
is that all you have to do ?? i am having snags getting phone to recognise the new card.... is there anything else I need to do ?
This is how I did it.just copied all files from card to card. Phone didn't have any problems recognizing new card

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.
okay but what happend with the ext3 partition ?

ext2/3 Partition u can access by a linux live-cd like knoppix.
or try totalcommander with the ext2 extension from a win-box.
If I change my SD Card and I am going to get a new SD Card with more space, will I have to re-install those ROMs, or can I just copy-paste and have them work?

just copy and paste everything from card to card and you should be good to go..
You will need to format the new card, do a search on this topic to verify what format to use..
Hi folks,
I rooted my phone using the S-on / unlock bootloader with htcdev /superoneclick method. Now I want to move from the original 8 gig card to a new 32 gig card with a minimum of fuss.
Different threads say you can just copy and paste, or that you have to format your card.
Any advice?
FWIW I have some apps running on the sd card but can move them back to the phone or even delete them if necessary.
Thanks in advance for the help!
What you have read is correct!
I have also upgraded to a 16 GB card from the stock 8GB card.
Just as a precautionary measure, On your Windows PC make sure View System Files / Hidden files & folders option is set as visible.
Make sure you do everything with the card inside the Memory Card Reader.
Copy all your content from the old SD card to a folder on your PC.
Insert the new Card in the memory card reader on your computer.
Format your new SD Card.
Paste all the content of your old SD Card (that you backed up earlier in a folder) to your new SD card.
Insert the card in your phone, check for Pictures, Apps.... Enjoy!

Cool, thanks. Just to double check - what format? And did you have to reinstall anything?
Format : FAT32
No, din need to reinstall anything.
If you wish, you could transfer the apps to phone memory from your old SD Card before you begin the process.

Thanks again, that worked fine, no real problems.
I did have to reinstall Modern Combat which was a bit strange but then it remembered where I was in the game. Odd but no hassles.
That game may be a one off case. . . May be that's Y i suggested you to transfer apps from your SD Card to the Phone Memory before changing the SD Card.
Anyways, Cheers !!!
Hi all,
Im new here.
The 2GB microSD card on my ChaCha is full at the moment with pictures,apps, games etc and I want to move all the contents to a new 8GB card.
How to I go about doing that? Do I manually copy/cut all the contents from the 2Gb microSD card onto the hard-drive on my PC and then move it over to the new microSD card or do I sync everything to my PC using HTC sync then onto the new microSD card?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
I have tried the "copy contents to computer hard drive then move it over to the new microSD" method and it seems to work just fine. If you are using links2sd/apps2sd scripts, of course they won't work anymore because the computer won't read the ext partition of sd card. Just keep your old microSD as a backup in case the new sd card causes trouble to your phone
Thanks

I'd use my PC to copy everything. It's the easiest way. Don't know any other way, but guess that it's so easy that no one thought of making a tool for it.
